폐광석에 함유되어 있는 중금속 원소는 물리ㆍ화학적 환경의 변화에 따라서 안정화 되어 자연적으로 정화가 진행되거나 혹은 재 용출될 수 있어 중요한 오염원으로 작용할 수 있다. 따라서 폐광석에 함유된 중금속이 흡착된 상태로 존재하는지, 광물형태(탄산염광물, 산화광물, 황산염광물 및 황화광물)로 존재하는지, 산화환경 혹은 환원환경에서 안정한 다른 광물의 결정 내에 치환된 형태로 존재하는 지를 규명하는 것은 물리화학적 환경변화에 따른 중금속의 거동(흡착반응, 탈착반응, 용해반응, 침전반응)을 예측할 수 있는 매우 유용한 평가 방법이라고 할 수 있다.

β-Tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP, Ca3(PO4)2) is a kind of biodegradable calcium phosphate ceramics with chemical and mineral compositions similar to those of bone. It is a potential candidate for bone repair surgery. To improve the bioactivity and osteoinductivity of β-TCP, various ions doped calcium phosphate have been studied. Among them, Iron is a trace element and its deficiency in the human body causes various problems. In this study, we investigated the effect of Fe ions on the structural variation, degradation behavior of β-TCP. Fe-doped β-TCP powders were synthesized by the coprecipitation method, and the heat treatment temperature was set at 925 and 1100℃. The structural analysis was carried out by Rietveld refinement using the X-ray diffraction results. Fe ions existed in a different state (Fe2+ or Fe3+) with different heat treatment temperatures, and the substitution sites (Ca-(4) and Ca-(5)) also changed with temperature. The degradation rate was fastest at Fe-doped β-TCP with heated at 1100℃. The cell viability behavior was also enhanced with the substitution of Fe ions. Therefore, the substitution of Fe ion has accelerated the degradation of β-TCP and improved the biocompatibility. It could be more utilized in biomedical devices.

Organic farming is a type of agricultural practices based on naturally occurring processes excluding or strictly limiting the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals. This study was conducted to investigate the influences of agro-based materials, effective microorganisms (EM), liquid silicate (LS), and organic liquid fertilizer (OLF) for water dropwort (Oenanthe stolonifera DC.) cultivation. Soil pH, soil organic matter, and plant available phosphorous decreased with LS application. Exchangeable Ca and Mg decreased with EM application, and electrical conductivity and exchangeable Ca and K decreased with OLF application. Most of essential nutrient contents in water dropwort were reduced with the treatments of LS, EM, and OLF as compared with those in control plot, except nitrogen and phosphorus. However, diseases and insect pests were almost not observed in the water dropwort in the agro-based material application plots, except cluster caterpillar (Spodoptera litura). Productivity of water dropwort tended to be reduced: its higher productivity in the OLF and EM+LS plots and lower in the LS and control plots.

The hydrolysis of $\alpha-benzoxystyrene(1)$ in strong acidic solution has been investigated kinetically. In perchloric acid concentration lower than 5.5 M($H_o$ < -3.0), hydration paramer $\omega$ = + 7.6, and $\Phi$ = + 0.54 were obtained. The solvent isotope effect $k_{H_2O}/K_{D_2O}$ is 0.72. The substituent effect was found to conform to the Hammett $\sigma^+$ constant with $\rho$ = -0.60. On the basis of these results and other evidence, the hydrolysis of the enol ester proceeds by $A_{AL}$2 type mechanism. In concentration greater than 5.5 M($H_o$ > -3.0), isotope effect, $k_{H_2O}/_{D_2O}$ is 3.32, substituent effect, $\rho$ is -1.60 and the rate is linear with the acidity function, $H_o$. Thus, the mechanism changes one involving initial, and rate-determining olefin protonation.

Pelitic rocks of southwestern Nova Scotia have been affected by widespread contact metamorphism due to the intrusion of the Shellburne Pluton, with aureole up to 15 km wide. Well-preserved pseudomorphic textures indicate that common staurolite and andalusite metacrysts formed at the expense only of plagioclase, muscovite and biotite. Excess components (K, Na and Ca) from such replacement reactions imply extensive metasomatism throughout the contact aureole. Modal analysis of a typical andalusite-bearing rock indicates a one-to-one volume ratio of product to reactant. However the products of the replacement reactions contain approximately three times more aluminum than the reactants, indicating that the regional metasomatism also involved aluminum.

An analytical method of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in soil samples by isotope dilution method using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS)-selected ion monitoring (SIM) was described. PBDEs in soil were extracted with soxhlet extractor and then silica and florisil solid phase extraction (SPE) methods as purification of extract were compared. After clean-up, the extractions were analyzed by GC/MS with SIM mode. Quantitation was performed isotope dilution method using four $^{13}C$ isotopically labeled PBDEs as internal standards. This developed method was validated for eight congeners of PBDEs in the concentration range 0.04~4 ng/g in soil and the average recovery of the analytes ranged 30.8~110.8% for florisil and 44.4~110.7% for silica, respectively. The method detection limits of PBDEs were 0.04~0.3 ng/g.

Finite field multiplication and division are important arithmetic operation in error-correcting codes and cryptosystems. The elements of the finite field GF($2^m$) are represented by bases with a primitive polynomial of degree m over GF(2). We can be easily realized for multiplication or computing multiplicative inverse in GF($2^m$) based on a normal basis representation. The number of product terms of logic function determines a complexity of the Messay-Omura multiplier. A normal basis exists for every finite field. It is not easy to find the optimal normal element for a given primitive polynomial. In this paper, the generating method of normal basis is investigated. The normal bases whose product terms are less than other bases for multiplication in GF($2^m$) are found. For each primitive polynomial, a list of normal elements and number of product terms are presented.

In this study, we explore the nature of clumped isotopes of H₂O molecule using quantum chemical calculations. Particularly, we estimated the relative clumping strength between diverse isotopologues, consisting of oxygen (¹⁶O, ¹⁷O, and ¹⁸O) and hydrogen (hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium) isotopes and quantify the effect of temperature on the extent of isotope clumping. The optimized equilibrium bond lengths and the bond angles of the molecules are 0.9631-0.9633 Å and 104.59-104.62°, respectively, and show a negligible variation among the isotopologues. The calculated frequencies of the modes of H₂O molecules decrease as isotope mass number increases, and show a more prominent change with varying hydrogen isotopes over those with oxygen isotopes. The equilibrium constants of isotope substitution reactions involving these isotopologues reveal a greater effect of hydrogen mass number than oxygen mass number. The calculated equilibrium constants of clumping reaction for four heavy isotopologues showed a strong correlation; particularly, the relative clumping strength of three isotopologues was 1.86 times (HT¹⁸O), 1.16 times (HT¹⁷O), and 0.703 times (HD¹⁷O) relative to HD¹⁸O, respectively. The relative clumping strength decreases with increasing temperature, and therefore, has potential for a novel paleo-temperature proxy. The current calculation results highlight the first theoretical study to establish the nature of clumped isotope fractions in H₂O including ¹⁷O and tritium. The current results help to account for diverse geochemical processes in earth's surface environments. Future efforts include the calculations of isotope fractionations among various phases of H₂O isotopologues with a full consideration of the effect of anharmonicity in molecular vibration.

We investigated metal concentrations and oceanic environment changes that have occurred over the past several years by studying the hard coral Porites lutea, which inhabits tropical and subtropical areas. Soft X-radiographs clearly showed distinctive annual bands within 71 mm coral sample, which reflect changes in the oceanic environment over this period. There were large fluctuations in the major and minor element concentrations. Considering the physicochemical partition coefficient, some elements accumulated in the aragonite matrix in a mechanical manner, while others were affected by environmental factors. The concentrations of some heavy metals varied over a wide range, implying local environmental effects. The variation of Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca in coral skeleton clearly showed large-scale fluctuation over the specific intervals, implying environmental changes during this period. The concentrations of heavy metals also show high fluctuations, and roughly accord with Mg/Ca variation. In addition, Cu and Zn seem to show cyclicity-like peaks, coincide with Mg/Ca variation over the specific intervals. Such variation might be related to local pollution and oceanographic changes. More detailed investigation is necessary, including the pretreatment of coral skeleton sediment.

Peridotite xenoliths in middle Miocene alkaline basalt from the Mt. Baekdu area are mainly anhydrous spinel lherzolites, displaying coarse-grained protogranular texture. These xenoliths have late-stage secondary orthopyroxene replacing olivine as the metasomatic mineral and glass formed along the grain boundaries. The studied xenoliths are characterized by the high $Mg{\sharp}[=100{\times}Mg/(Mg+Fe_{total})$ atomic ratio] of olivine, orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene (89~92) and the $Cr{\sharp}[=100{\times}Cr/(Cr+Al)$ atomic ratio] of spinel (10~29). Based on major-element data, the studied xenoliths are similar to those from the abyssal peridotites. Clinopyroxenes of the xenoliths are mostly enriched in incompatible trace elements, exhibiting two types of REE patterns: (1) LREE-depleted with $(La/Yb)_N$ of 0.1~0.2 and $(La/Ce)_N$ of 0.4~0.8. (2) LREE enriched with $(La/Yb)_N$ of 2.2~3.8 and $(La/Ce)_N$ of 1.2~1.6. The calculated equilibrium temperatures and oxygen fugacities resulted in $920{\sim}1050^{\circ}C$ and ${\Delta}fO_2(QFM)=-0.8{\sim}0.2$, respectively. It is suggested that the Mt. Baekdu peridotite xenoliths represent residues left after variable degrees of melt extraction(less than 15 vol%), which was subsequently subjected to different degrees of modal/cryptic metasomatism by silica- and LREE-enriched fluids (or melts).
