This study investigated the effect of phosphorus fractionation on the phosphorus release from the sediments of Juksan reservoir in Yeongsan River. The field sediments were collected, incubated, and analyzed with respect to phosphorus fractionation of sediments and total phosphorus (TP) of overlying water after 7 days. The total amount of inorganic phosphorus of YS2 site was higher than YS1 site. Al-P and Fe-P were major constituents of inorganic phosphorus. During the incubation, Al-P, Fe-P and Ca-P were increased and Red-P was decreased at both sites. YS1 site showed increased TP concentration of overlying water, however, YS2 had opposite trend during the incubation. Counting on the particle size distribution of YS1 and YS2, particle size distribution is major factor to control the TP concentration of overlying water. There were positive relationship between Fe-P and TP and negative relationship between Red-P. From the results, it is essential to continuously monitor the sediment phosphorus fraction in order to control the TP concentration of the water.

This study investigated the effect of the sediment phosphorus fraction sampled from the southern coast of Korea on the release characteristics of sediments by environmental changes of water quality. We conducted the release experiment in the laboratory for 20 days and measured the phosphorus fraction properties, the environmental factors of water quality, and the release rate of total phosphorus. The results showed a decrease in dissolved oxygen by the growth of microorganisms in the water layer, leading to the anaerobic condition in which the redox potential of the sediments decreased. As such, the decreasing variability of phosphates bonded to iron oxide in the sediment phosphorus was higher after 20 days of the release experiment than the first day. It means that the metal ions and the separated inorganic phosphorus transfer into the water when the iron oxide is reduced. The separated inorganic phosphorus is easily absorbed by the plankton. The analysis of total phosphorus in the water layer showed that it continuously increased to up to 0.304 mg/L for 20 days, and the release rate had a high correlation with the decrease of dissolved oxygen after 5 days of culture. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the characteristics of iron bonded to phosphorus in the phosphorus fraction and dissolved oxygen to manage the eutrophication of the system.

일반적으로 퇴적물로부터 인의 용출은, 산소조건, 수온, 유속 등 여러 환경의 변화에 의해서 이루어지며, 환경에 따라 용출되는 인의 형태 또한 다르다. 따라서 어떠한 기작을 통해 얼마나 많은 양의 인이 용출되는지는 수체의 물리 화학적 조건과 퇴적물에 포함된 인의 존재형태에 의해 결정된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 담수호의 부영양화 원인물질이면서 부영양화 발생을 제어할 수 있는 가장 중요한 인자로 작용하는 인의 거동특성을 파악하기 위하여 이루어 졌다. 본 연구는 경기도 화성시에 위치한 화성호에서 이루어 졌으며, 대표성을 나타낼 수 있는 3개의 지점을 선별하였다. 퇴적물은 Grap sampler를 이용하여 채취하였으며. Methods for P Analysis, G. M. Pierzynski(2009, G,m Pierzynski)에 의거하여 무기태 인을 loosely and soluble P, Al-P, Fe-P, Reductant soluble-P, Ca-P 5가지 형태로 분류하여 진행하였다. 화성호 퇴적물의 인의 형태별 분류를 실시하여 화성호 퇴적물 내의 무기태 인의 형태 분류와 이를 분석함으로서 인 용출에 의한 수질오염 가능성을 평가해보고자 하였다. 무기태 인의 형태는 세지점 모두 Fe-P > Al-P > Loosely and soluble-P > Reductant Soluble-P > Ca-P 비율로 나타났다. 가장 높은 비율을 차지하고 있는 Al-P 및 Fe-P의 경우, 호소수의 pH에 영향을 크게 받으며 특히 높은 pH에서 수층으로 용출이 활발히 일어날 수 있고, 호소의 물질순환에 있어서 다른 형태의 인보다 식물체에 단기간 이용될 수 있다는 점 때문에 관심이 높은 형태이다. 주로 이들 형태는 도시하수 및 산업폐수의 유입으로 인하여 영향을 받는다. 본 조사결과에서 화성호의 pH는 모든 지점에서 중성인 것으로 조사되었기 때문에 용출가능성은 상대적으로 적다고 판단된다.

In this research, speciation of phosphorus in sediment and overlying water dependent upon pH and ORP(Oxidation Reduction Potential) was studied. Three possible conditions were simulated: open system with circulation, closed system with stratification and closed system with sand capping on the sediment. Phosphorus release rate from sediment was increased for both open system and closed system if pH was less than 6.0. Phosphorus concentration for closed system was increased from 0.9 mg/L to 0.51 mg/L, and stabilized at 0.34 mg/L if anaerobic conditions were maintained in the overlying water. When sand capping was implemented, phosphorus concentrations of overlying water were maintained less than those of closed system.

$^{31}$ /P NMR and XRD have been used to study the mineralogical compositions and the phosphorus species in marine sediments near Wolsung nuclear power plant. The core samples with 30cm depth were investigated and no mineralogical changes have been found. The studied marine sediments were composed of quartz, albite, microcline, calcite, and some clay minerals such as illite, smectite, chlorite, and kaolinite. Only orthophosphate-monoester and very small amount of ortho-phosphate-diester were identified as phosphorus species in the studied sample, different from the species reported in other countries. These phosphorus species are mainly from organisms and was exposed to the oxic conditions. The consistent mineralogical compositions as well as the same phosphorus species throughout the entire core samples indicate that the constant oxic condition was kept without any changes in sedimentary conditions or the sediments were deposited with different sedimentary conditions, but later they were disturbed by other activities and exposed to the surface oxic conditions continuously.

In this study, the fractional composition and the releasing of nutrients and metals from sediments of Boryung reservoir were investigated. Based on present study, the forms of sediment phosphorus of the four sites in reservoir were classified as adsorbed phosphorus, non apatite inorganic phosphorus(NAI-P), apatite phosphorus and residual phosphorus. Residual phosphorus showed the highest fration, NAI-P second, apatite phosphorus third and absorbed phosphorus fourth. The sedimentation rate of T-P and T-N in aerobic condition were $0.31mg/m^2{\cdot}day$ and $29mg/m^2{\cdot}day$. The sedimentation rate of T-P and T-N in anaerobic condition were $0.12mg/m^2{\cdot}day$ and $13.6mg/m^2{\cdot}day$. The releasing rate of T-P and T-N in anaerobic condition were $0.23mg/m^2{\cdot}day$ and $10.5mg/m^2{\cdot}day$.

This study was conducted in autumn to determine phosphorus (P) fraction in sediments of Daechung Lake, to elucidate controlling factors for sedimentary P, and to compare with the other areas. For this study, sediment samples were collected at 6 sites only once on November 2014 using ponar grab and analyzed for solid-phase P (Loosely adsorbed, Fe-bound, Al-bound, detrital apatite, and refractory organic P) by sequential extraction. Total phosphorus (TP) was relatively high in front of Daechung Dam and Hoinam where fish farm was run until 1997. The dominant sedimentary P form was Al-bound P, followed by Fe-bound P, which could be released from sediment to water column during suboxic state. Based on principal component analysis, Al-bound P, Fe-bound, and TP were controlled by grain size of sediments. Loosely adsorbed, detrital apatite, and refractory organic P were relatively highly accumulated at the mouth of major tributaries where suspended sediments were delivered. Sedimentary P concentrations in Daechung Lake sediments were not higher than in other lake sediments. Therefore, based on these results, major controlling factors were grain size and input of suspended sediments from tributaries.

The present study was attempted to find the effects of structural properties of phosphorus on the water quality of Gyehwa reservoir in Saemangeum. Relationship of phosphorus fractions between water and sediment properties was closely examined, and a few types of phosphorus were found from the sample sediment as : Saloid-P, Al-P, Fe-P, Ca-P, Red-P and Occd-P. Saloid-P (1.4%), Al-P (0.5%), Fe-P (39.8%), Ca-P (56.6%), Red-P (0.4%), Occd-P (1.3%) were extracted in a mass basis from the sediment of Gyehwa reservoir. Approximately more than 97% of phosphorus were calcium related phosphorus (Ca-P, 56%) and iron bound phosphorus (Fe-P, 39.8%). The Fe-P closely relates with water quality of T-N (r=0.761, p<0.05), $NO_3$-N (r=0.754, p<0.05), $NH_4$-N (r=0.728, p<0.05), T-P (r=0.774, p<0.05) and $PO_4$-P (r=0.767, p<0.05) while the Ca-P did not show any consistent dependency on the water quality. On the other hand, the correlation of Ca-P with $P_2O_5$ was high with r=0.783 (p<0.05) in the sediment. The Fe-P was affected significantly on the Ignition Loss (r=0.569, p<0.05), T-N (r=0.715, p<0.05) and T-P (r=0.983, p<0.01). In the research of correlation between phosphorus fraction and heavy metals in the sediment, Ca-P did not show any specific relationships with heavy metals. The Fe-P showed a significant correlation with As (r=0.817, p<0.01), Cu (r=0.793, p<0.05), Cd (r=0.786, p<0.05), Zn (r=0.738, p<0.05), so that it can be stated that the presence of Fe-P may implicate the volume of various metallic elements.

This study conducted a sediment culture experiment to investigate the effects of sediment oxygen demand (SOD) and environmental factors on sediment and water quality. We installed a leaching tank in the laboratory, cultured it for 20 days, and analyzed the relationship between P and Fe in the sediment. As a result, the dissolved oxygen of the water layer decreased with time, while the oxidation-reduction potential of the sediment progressed in the negative direction to form an anaerobic reducing environment. The SOD was measured to be 0.05 mg/g at the initial stage of cultivation and increased to 0.09 mg/g on the 20th day, indicating the tendency of increasing consumption of oxygen by the sediment. The change is likely to have caused by oxygen consumption from biological-SOD, which is the decomposition of organic matter accumulated on the sediment surface due to the increase of chl-a, and chemical-SOD consumed when the metal-reducing product produced by the reduction reaction is reoxidized. The correlation between SOD and causality for sediment-extracted sediments was positive for Ex-P and Org-P and negative for Fe-P. The analysis of the microbial community in the sediment on the 20th day showed that anaerobic iron-reducing bacteria (FeRB) were the dominant species. Therefore, when the phosphate bonded to the iron oxide is separated by the reduction reaction, the phosphate is eluted into the water to increase the primary productivity. The reduced substance is reoxidized and contributes to the oxygen consumption of the sediment. The results of this study would be useful as the reference information to improve oxygen resin.

This study was performed to know about the characteristics of geochemicals of sampling sites in Suncheon bay. Salinity and parameters of water pollution as COD, DIN and DIP showed typical character of an estuary with its values higher at the end of estuary and gradually lowering at the up stream. The value of Excess DIN showed positive so the phosphorus appeared in a role as limiting nutrient. As quoted results of correlation analysis of SPSS and PCA, salinity was revealed as a main factor of control for water qualities at sampling sites in Suncheon bay. The Mz of wet lands and intertidal zone in Sun-cheon bay showed a variation of 6.74 to $8.52{\phi}$ and the sorting also to appeared poorly sorted to very poorly sorted. The fractional composition of phosphorus in phosphorus of sediments were high and appeared orderly as redisual-P> NAI-P> apatite-P> absorbed-P. The labile-Phosphorus showed high concentration then the other station. It means that phosphorus of these stations can easily move from the deposit to the water column than another station.
