Nutrients in stormwater runoff have raised concerns regarding water quality degradation in the recent years. Low impact development (LID) technologies are types of nature-based solutions developed to address water quality problems and restore the predevelopment hydrology of a catchment area. Two LID facilities, infiltration trench (IT) and infiltration planter (IP), are known for their high removal rate of nutrients through sedimentation and vegetation. Long-term monitoring was conducted to assess the performance and cite the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing the facilities in nutrient removal. Since a strong ionic bond exists between phosphorus compounds and sediments, reduction of total phosphorus (TP) (more than 76%), in both facilities was associated to the removal of total suspended solids (TSS) (more than 84%). The efficiency of nitrogen in IP is 28% higher than IT. Effective nitrification occurred in IT and particulate forms of nitrogen were removed through sedimentation and media filters. Decrease in ammonium- nitrogen (NH₄-N) and nitrite-nitrogen (NO₂-N), and increase in nitrate-nitrogen (NO₃-N) fraction forms indicated that effective nitrification and denitrification occurred in IP. Hydrologic factors such as rainfall depth and rainfall intensity affected nutrient treatment capabilities of urban stormwater LID facilities The greatest monitored rainfall intensity of 11 mm/hr for IT yielded to 34% and 55% removal efficiencies for TN and TP, respectively, whereas, low rainfall intensities below 5 mm resulted to 100 % removal efficiency. The greatest monitored rainfall intensity for IP was 27 mm/hr, which still resulted to high removal efficiencies of 98% and 97% for TN and TP, respectively. Water quality assessment showed that both facilities were effective in reducing the amount of nutrients; however, IP was found to be more efficient than IT due to its additional provisions for plant uptake and larger storage volume.

This study was conducted to develop a wastewater treatment system to remove organic matter, nitrate nitrogen, and phosphate ion in synthetic wastewater. COD was removed almost 100% by the oxidation reaction of HClO and nitrate nitrogen was reduced to ammonia by electrolysis treatment, but ammonia was reoxidized into nitrate nitrogen by HClO treatment. Ammonia was removed almost 100% by heating evaporation and no ammonia was reoxidized into nitrate by HClO treatment. Phosphate ion could be removed by precipitation treatment by forming metal complex according to pH. Through electrolysis treatment and HClO treatment, removal efficiencies of COD 99.5%, nitrogen 97.3% and phosphorus 91.5% were obtained.

The objectives of this research were to estimate nitrogen budgets in agriculture and livestock in 2010, and to evaluate nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emission by a local government. Input-output budgets for nitrogen were categorized into two sections including agriculture and livestock. Fertilizer, deposition, fixation, compost, irrigation, and feed were used as the nitrogen inputs while crop production, crop uptake, denitrification, volatilization, leaching, compost, and ocean disposal were used as the nitrogen outputs. Annual nitrogen input and output for agriculture and livestock were 1,148,848 N ton/yr and 610,380 N ton/yr respectively indicating the decrease of the nitrogen input and output, compared to our previous researches in 2005 and 2008. Total nitrogen input in 16 local government was estimated resulting that $N_2O$ emission was the highest for Jeonnam (2,574 ton/yr) and the lowest for Seoul (7 ton/yr).

To mitigate the methane emission from rice paddy fields, effects of nitrogen fertilizers source and cultural patterns were evaluated on silty loam soils. And a pot experiment was carried out to find out the effects of nitrogen fertilizers on soil pH, Eh, sulfate concentration of soil water in flooded soil. In transplanting cultivation, the total methane emission depending on fertilizers was $32.9gm^{-2}$ for urea ; $30.3gm^{-2}$ for ammonium sulfate ; $26.4gm^{-2}$ for coated urea. Methane emitted in direct seeding on dry soil was $24.7gm^{-2}$ for urea ; $16.7gm^{-2}$ for ammonium sulfate : and $22.8gm^{-2}$ for coated urea. Thus, the methane emission rate of direct seeding on dry soil was 29.7% lower than transplanting. According to the nitrogen fertilizers, the methane emission rate by ammonium sulfate and coated urea were reduced 18.4 and 15.9% in comparison with urea, respectively. In pot experiments, pH in flooded soils depending on nitrogen fertilizers dereased in order of urea > coated $urea{\fallingdotseq}no$ fertilizer > ammonium sulfate and the order was coincided with that of total $CH_4$ emission from flooded soil. Soil Eh was highest in ammonium sulfate application followed by coated urea, no fertilizer, urea. And sulfate concentrations of soil water were in order of ammonium sulfate > coated urea > urea > no fertilizer.

지구 온난화 문제의 심각성이 대두되면서 이산화탄소 저감 기술에 대한 관심이 증폭되고 있다. 가장 이상적인 방법은 탄소가 포함되지 않은 청정 재생 에너지원이지만, 에너지 공급 규모 면에서 보면 근미래에도 화석 연료가 에너지 수요에 대한 주요 공급원으로 남아있을 것이라는 의견이 지배적이다. 많은 화석 연료 중 천연가스는 탄소 배출량이 가장 적은 청정 연료로 지난 10년간 수요가 폭발적으로 증가해왔다. 이를 고려해볼 때 탄소 배출량이 적은 천연가스를 생산하면서 이산화탄소를 격리 시킬 수 있는 기술은 매우 매력적이다. 본 연구에서는 심해저의 메탄 하이드레이트로 부터 천연가스를 생산하는 기술로서 이산화탄소와 질소의 혼합 가스를 사용하는 기술 개발의 일환으로 혼합 가스에 의한 메탄 하이드레이트 해리 속도를 $^{13}C$ NMR을 이용해 측정한 결과를 제시하고자 한다.

기후변화의 영향으로 기온과 강수량의 증가가 나타나고 있으며, 이러한 변화는 수문 순환 및 강우-유출의 변화로 인해 하천의 수질에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 수질 오염원 중 배출원의 형태가 명확하지 않은 비점오염원은 강우의 유출과 함께 발생하는 특징을 띤다. 비점오염원은 지표면에 존재하던 오염 물질이 지표면에서 유출이 발생함에 따라 하천으로 유입되는 오염물이다. 이에 따라 강우량에 비례하는 특성을 띠며 점 오염원과 달리 변동 폭이 크다. 대표적인 비점오염물로 알려진 질소, 인과 같은 영양물질은 하천으로 유입 시 부영양화를 야기하는 물질로 우리나라와 같이 계절별 강수량의 차이가 큰 환경에서 비점오염물의 지속적인 관리는 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 비점오염원은 오염원을 특정할 수 없기 때문에 하천으로의 유입을 최소화하는 최적관리기법(Best Management Practices)을 통해 관리한다. 국내외에서 가장 널리 이용되는 비점오염원 최적관리기법은 식생형 시설로, 나지에 식물체를 파종함으로써 토양의 유실을 방지하여 비점오염물의 하천 유입을 저감시키고, 자연경관으로써 기능한다. 미래 수자원의 효과적인 이용을 위해서는 기후변화에 따른 수문 변화, 그로 인한 수질 변화 특성을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기후변화 시나리오를 통해 기온, 강수, 습도와 같은 기후 조건의 변화를 고려하여 예측되는 비점오염물의 유출 저감 대책의 영향을 분석하고자 한다. 이 때, 기후변화 시나리오는 그 자체로 불확실성을 포함하는 자료이기 때문에 특정 시나리오를 분석하기 보다는 기후변화 진행 정도에 따른 비점오염물 유출을 산정하고 저감 대책의 영향을 분석한다. 연구를 수행하기 위해 장기간의 강우-유출 특성의 모의가 가능하고 저감 대책을 제공하는 SWAT 모형을 이용한다. SWAT 모형에서는 여러 최적관리기법을 제공하는데, 가장 널리 이용되는 것이 식생형 시설인 것에 기초하여 적용할 저감 대책으로 계단식 산비탈(Terracing)을 선정하였다. 저감 대책의 적용으로 비점오염물질이 적게는 약 30%에서 많게는 60%까지 변화하며 매우 효율적으로 저감되는 것이 확인되었다. 저감 시설의 적용을 통해 총 량 뿐만 아니라 시간에 따른 비점오염물 유출의 변동성 또한 감소시킬 수 있음이 확인되었다.

The main objective of this research was to estimate Nitrogen budget of South Korea in 2008. Input-output budgets for nitrogen fluxes were categorized into three sections: cities, agricultural area, and forest. Chemical and biological fixation, dry and wet deposition, imported food and feed were used as the nitrogen input. Crop uptake, volatilization, denitrification, leaching, runoff, and forest consumption were used as the nitrogen outputs. Annual total nitrogen input was 1,294,155 ton/yr, and output was 632,228 ton/yr. Comparison with a previous research in 2005 indicates that nitrogen input was decreased by 1.9% due to the decrease in nitrogen fertilizer while nitrogen output was decreased by 6.3%. Non-point source (NPS) pollution was also estimated by mass balance approach, which increased by 22% than the previous research in 2005. The emission of nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) caused by denitrification was newly examined in this research. About 8,289 ton/yr of $N_2O$ was released from agriculture area and domestic wastewater treatment plant.

In Seoul, the largest emission source for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) based on the emission inventory is solvent usage followed by vehicular exhaust. However, according to a CMB modeling result by Na and Kim (2007), vehicular exhaust was the largest emission source followed by solvent usage. Detailed analyses on the validity of the CMB model result were carried out and it was suggested that the existing emission inventory for VOCs might be underestimating vehicular emission. Scientific considerations that should be considered for the effective control strategy against VOCs are discussed.
