This study was carried out to investigate adsorption characteristics of residual pesticides on an adsorbent. $Bauxsol^{TM}$ and mackban-stone as adsorbent were used. Analytical method for residual pesticides was established by GC/NPD and $GC/{\mu}ECD$. Pesticides used in this study were ${\alpha}$-endosulfan, ${\beta}$-endosulfan, pendimethalin and chlorpyrifos-methyl, fenitrothion, and recovery rates were more than 97%. Adsorption rate on an adsorbent was decreased in order of endosulfan, chlorpyrifos-methyl, pendimethalin, fenitrothion. Organochlorine pesticides showed higher removal rate than the other pesticides. $Bauxsol^{TM}$ gave both chemical decomposition and physical adsorption. Mackban-stone gave only physical adsorption on the other hand. The high pH and chloric ions structure of eluted solution have greatly affected at chemical resolution. The removal rate of pesticides was increased due to the physical property of adsorbent, i.e. high porosity. The above adsorbent is to be a candidate to remove residual pesticides in water and pond of links.

화학레이저는 화학연료의 반응에서 생성되는 막대한 화학에너지를 이용하여 레이저를 발생시키며, 반응하는 화학연료의 양에 따라 수천 kW의 고출력을 낼 수 있는 가장 강력한 레이저이다. 화학레이저인 Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Laser(COIL)는 염소기체(Cl$_2$)를 염기성 과산화수소수 용액과 반응시켜 고에너지의 여기산소(O$_2$($^1$$\Delta$))를 생성시키고 여기산소가 다시 요오드 원자와 반응하면서 1.3 $mu extrm{m}$ 파장의 레이저를 발생시킨다.(1)-(2) 이와같은 COIL 레이저는 발진효율이 높고 포화 강도가 높아 수십 kW 급의 고출력이 용이하게 이루어 질 수 있으며 광섬유 전송시 광손실이 가장 적어 레이저 빔의 원격 전송에 의한 재료가공에 적합한 레이저이다. 가공용레이저로 많이 사용하는 $CO_2$ 레이저에 비해 발진 파장이 짧으므로 재료의 광흡수율이 높아 일반 산업분야의 용접/절단에서 기존의 $CO_2$ 레이저를 대체할 것으로 기대되는 상용성이 큰 레이저이다.(3)-(4) 또한 COIL은 우수한 집속 특성을 유지하면서도 고출력의 개발이 가능하다. 이미 외국에서는 비록 단시간 동안 동작하지만 수백 kW급이 실현되었으며 수천 kW 급 고출력 항공기탑재형 COIL 이 수백 km의 거리에서 미사일을 요격하기위해 지금 개발중에 있다.(5) 일반 산업용 광섬유에 의해 쉽게 전송되는 파장인 1.315 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 인 수십 kW 급 COIL 은 조선 등의 중공업산업용 및 원자력 제염/해체분야에서 다용도 기술로서 광범위하게 사용될 것이다. COIL은 다양한 재료와 다양한 두께의 구조물 절단, 표면처리 그리고 용접에도 이용될 수 있다. COIL의 산업화는 빠르게 발전하고 있으며 산업용으로써 장시간 연속사용이 가능한 20-30 kW급 시설이 곧 개발될 것으로 기대된다. 따라서 개발될 고출력 화학레이저가 앞으로 원자력시설의 해체시 작업자의 안전성 향상에 크게 기여할 수 있게 되었다.(6) 여기서는 화학레이저인 COIL 장치와 기본적인 원리, 그리고 염소유량에 따른 출력특성등을 살펴보기로 하겠다.

Concrete structures built on reclaimed land are combined with chemical erosion such as chlorine and sulfate ions from seawater. Chloride attack deteriorates the performance of the structure by corroding reinforcing bars. In addition, the waste water treatment structure has a problem that the concrete is deteriorated by the sulfate generated inside. Therefore, in this study, the characteristics and chemical resistance of low heat cement concrete used in wastewater treatment structures constructed on reclaimed land were evaluated. As a result of the experiment, the target slump and air content were satisfied under all the mixing conditions. The slump of low heat cement (LHC) concrete was higher than that of ordinary portland cement (OPC) concrete, while the air content of LHC concrete was smaller than that of OPC concrete with the same mix proportion. As a result of compressive strength test, OPC concrete showed higher strength at younger age compared to 28 days. In contrast, LHC concrete exhibited higher strength than OPC concrete at the age of 56 days. As a result of chlorine ion penetration tests, LHC-B concrete showed chlorine ion penetration resistance performance of the "very low" level at the age of 56 days. As a result of chemical resistance evaluation, when the LHC concrete is applied without epoxy treatment, chemical resistance is improved by about 18% compared to OPC concrete. In testing chemical resistance, the epoxy coated concrete exhibited less than 5% strength reduction when compared to sound concrete.

Algae causes not only the eutrophication of lake, but also the deterioration of drinking water process. Especially, algogenic organic matters(AOM) are assumed as disinfection by-products(DBPs) precursors like humic and fulvic acids. In this study, it was investigated the characteristics changes of algogenic organic matter(AOM) by prechlorination and coagulation treatment. Evaluation of enhanced coagulation and applicability of UV oxidation process were also evaluated as the drinking water treatment system for the eutrophicated water source. prechlorination was effective process for algae removal but caused releasing of dissolved organic matter(DOC) into water due to the destruction of algae's cell. In coagulation treatment with Fe(III) coagulant, reaction pH is an important factor for the removal of AOM and triholomathanes(THMs). At pH 5, removal efficiency of DOC and THMs were dramatically improved by 50% and 28%, respectively, in comparison with the conventional coagulation treatment at about pH 7. Photo-Fenton($UV/H_2O_2/Fe^{3+}$) process among the UV oxidations is the most effective system to remove AOM, but its removal efficiency was lower than that of enhanced coagulation treatment at pH 5.

Nitrate and chloride are the most common contaminants in groundwater and their concentrations increase easily due to fertilizer consumption and urbanization. The number of time series data for groundwater quality at a single site was not sufficient to analyze trends on Jeju Island. Therefore rectangle grids were drawn for the whole island and single grid was determined to be $500m{\times}500m$ after considering similar stream density, homogeneous hydraulic coefficients, geologic features of volcanic rock and low topographic slopes. All data within each lattice were collected and arranged in time series order and analyzed using Sen's method. 10.6 % of the total lattices for chloride and 22.4% for nitrate showed upward trends from the early 1990's to the early 2000's. Especially, upward trends for nitrate concentration are distinct in the low mid-mountainous areas of western and southern watersheds. Many septic tanks and much domestic waste from the urbanization of the low mid-mountainous area have produced this upward trend. Additionally, the agricultural region has dramatically increased since the 1990's and this has led to an increase of fertilizer consumption and, as a result, nitrate concentration. Therefore, the target of any management plan for groundwater quality on Jeiu Island needs to be focused on careful land use decisions in the mid-mountainous areas which are near Halla Mountain.

Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) is universally distributed in the sediment, especially in marine environment. SRB reduce sulfate as electron acceptor to hydrogen sulfide in anaerobic condition. Hydrogen sulfide is reducing agent enhancing the reduction of the organic and inorganic compounds. With SRB, therefore, the degradability of organic contaminants is expected to be enhanced. Ferrous iron reduced from the ferric iron which is mainly present in sediment also renders chlorinated organic compounds to be reduced state. The objectives of this study are: 1) to investigate the reduction of TCE by hydrogen sulfide generated by tht growth of SRB, 2) to estimate the reduction of TCE by ferrous iron generated due to oxidation of hydrogen sulfide, and 3) to illuminate the interaction between SRB and ferrous iron. Mixed bacteria was cultivated from the sludge of the sewage treatment plant. Increasing hydrogen sulfide and decreasing sulfate confirmed the existence of SRB in mixed culture. Although hydrogen sulfide lonely could reduce TCE, the concentration of hydrogen sulfide produced by SRB was not sufficient to reduce TCE directly. With hematite as ferric iron, hydrogen sulfide produced by SRB was consumed to reduce ferric ion to ferrous ion and ferrous iron produced by hydrogen sulfide oxidation decreased the concentration of TCE. Tests with seawater confirmed that the activity of SRB was dependent on the carbon source concentration.

Recently, the coastal area has become the popular place for infrastructure development. To provide a beautiful scenary of costal area to nearby facilities without any hinderance, and also to protect those facilities from the sea water overflow, it is necessary to develop a new type of wave dissipating block, which is a turning wave block. It is noticeable that the top of the turning wave block is flat and thus can provide spaces for various purposes. However, the unit weight of the block decreases due to the presence of pipeline that is installed for turning the direction of the waves. In order to mitigate such problem, a heavyweight concrete needs to be used to increase the resistance against tidal waves. The copper slag and magnetite were used as a source of fine and coarse aggregate, respectively. The 28 day compressive strength of concrete incorporating ordinary and heavyweight aggregate did not show significant differences. It should be noted that the chloride ion penetration resistance was evaluated using NT-BUILD 492 rather than ASTM C 1202 method because concrete incorporating magnetite as a coarse aggregate showed excessive current flow by ASTM C 1202 method. According to the results from NT Build 492 method, which uses the penetration depth of chlorine ions to obtain chloride ion diffusivity, the heavyweight concrete incorporating the copper slag and the magnetite showed the best resistance against the chloride ion penetration. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that heavyweight concrete made with copper slag and magnetite can be used for production of turning wave block.

This study investigates the fresh state characteristics, strength, chloride ion penetration resistance and freeze-thaw resistance of the suggested high strength-high durability cement concrete pavement. The required workability and air content could be achieved by using an appropriate admixtures. However its dosage should be carefully determined through field trial batches. Compressive strength increased with the increased cement content and, in particular, high cement volume concrete continuously developed strength up to 90 days. No clear relationship, however, existed between flexural strength and cement content. Chloride penetration resistance seemed as a function of curing age rather than the cement content. Freeze-thaw resistance test was conducted using two different coolants, tap water and 4% NaCl solution. When the tap water was used no severe damage was observed up to 300 cycles regardless the air content. Under 4% NaCl solution, specimens of 326kg/$m^3$ cement content showed severe damage with surface scaling. Based on the experimental investigations herein, it is highly recommended that the cement content be greater than 400kg/$m^3$ for strength-high durability cement concrete pavement structures.

This study examined the effects of fetal bovine serum (FBS), goat blood serum (gBS), and poly-vinyl alcohol (PVA) on the in vitro development and embryo quality of goats for an improvement of embryo production. For the experiment, an in vitro fertilized embryo culture medium was supplemented with 10% FBS, 10% gBS, and 10% PVA to determine their effects on the embryo development efficiency and blastocyst quality. The results showed that the non-serum supplementation group showed significantly lower cleavage rate and blastocyst formation. On the other hand, the gBS and PVA supplementation groups showed a significant increase in the cleavage rate and better blastocyst formation than the control and FBS supplementation group. Furthermore, a TUNEL assay performed to confirm the blastocyst quality showed the same pattern as the embryo development experiment. These results showed that the supplemented gBS or PVA was more efficient in enhancing the in vitro development efficiency of goats than the supplementation of FBS or non-serum. On the other hand, considering the risk of an unidentified factor in gBS, PVA appears to be safer and more efficient in the in vitro development of goat embryos.

휘발성유기화합물질 (Volatile Organic Compounds, VOCs)은 오존층을 파괴시키는 염소화합물과 광화학 스모그를 형성하는 촉매로 작용하는 주요 대기오염 물질일 뿐만 아니라 VOCs 자체로도 인류의 건강을 위협하는 물질이다. 특히 휘발성유기화합물은 물질의 종류가 수십 종에 이르며 석유화학산업, 도료산업 등의 고농도 발생사업장과 상대적으로 낮은 농토수준이기는 하지만 일상생활에서 절하게 되는 자동차, 주유소, 세탁소 등의 시설을 통해 지속적으로 환경계에 배출되는 등 발생원이 다양하며 측정분석방법에 내재된 어려움으로 인하여 다른 일반적인 대기오염물질에 비하여 여러 가지 측면에서 적절한 관리가 힘든 것으로 알려져 있다.
