Adsorption, leaching, and retention of the Flupyrazofos(KH-502), a new active ingredient for insecticide, in the soils under laborarory and field conditions were investigated to provide the basic data for the safety use and to assess a secondary impact of this insecticide on soil and water environments. A significant power function relation was found between the adsorbed KH-502 and time, representing that 45% of the added KH-502 was adsorbed within 30 min. but a quasiequilibrium was reached after 6 to 12 hr with a slower adsorption. Adsorption phenomena followed th first-order kinetics and time required for 50% adsorption was 5.8 hr. The equilibrium adsorption isotherm was explained by the Freundlich equation and was classified as S-type. The amounts of KH-502 leached through the soil column (C) as compared to initial conc. ($C_0$) were very low and these relative concentrations ($C/C_0$) were 0.073 and 0.017 in SL and CL soils, respectively. The residual conc. of KH-502 in the surface soil was comparatively low and decreased with time. Half-lives of KH-502 in the surface soil was comparatively low and decreased with time. Half-lives of KH-502 under the field conditions were estimated to be 20 and 18 days in the SL and CL soils, respectively. The KH-502 cone, transported to the subsurface soils was extremely low. These results demonstrate that KH-502 has a low pollution risk potential to the surrounding environment as far as it is used following the recommended guideline.

In Conventional process, sugaring and seasoning step were combined during seasoning process of Changran-Jeotgal. While, in the case of Improved process, sugaring and seasoning step were separated and agitation was employed in order to control moisture content and improve taste. The addition of $20\%$ of corn syrup and agitation with 10 rpm for 4 hours at $20^{\circ}C$ were carried out to optimize the seasoning process in Changran-Jeotgal. From above results, quality estimation of Changran-Jeotgal manufacturing process, such as chemical and microbiological changes, there were little difference for salinity, pH, VBN value, crude fat and crude protein between Improved process and Conventional one, However water activity of Changran-Jeotgal produced by the Improved process was lower with 0.82 than that of Conventional one with 0.90. And the sensory evaluation showed that Improved process produced more favorable products; By regional groups, Seoul residents favored them more than Busan ones and by age, teen-aged like them best.

The delamination in the filament-wound composite flywheel rotor often lowers the performance of the flywheel energy storage system. A conventional ring type hub usually causes tensile stresses on the inner surface of the composite rotor, resulting in lowering the maximum rotational speed of the rotor. In this work, the stress and strain distributions within a hybrid composite rotor were derived from the two-dimensional governing equation with the specified boundary conditions, and an optimum pressure at the inner surface of the rotor was proposed to minimize the strength ratio and maximize the storage energy. A split type hub was introduced to apply the calculated optimum pressure at the inner surface, and a spin test was performed up to 40,000 rpm to demonstrate the performance of the split type hub with radial and circumferential strains measured using a wireless telemetry system. From the analysis and the test, it was found that the split type hub successfully generates a compressive pressure on the inner surface of the rotor, which can enhance the performance of the composite rotor by lowering the strength ratio within the rotor.

The temporal and spatial temperature distribution of the heat storage mortar made of porous feldspar was measured and the thermal properties and electricity consumption were analyzed. For the experiment, two real size chambers (control model and test model) with hot water pipes were constructed. Two large scale models with hot water pipes were constructed. The surface temperature change of the heat storage layer was remotely monitored during the heating and cooling process using infrared thermal imaging camera and temperature sensor. The temperature increased from $20^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$ under the heating condition. The temperature of the heat storage layer of the test model was $2.0-3.5^{\circ}C$ higher than the control model and the time to reach the target temperature was shortened. As the distance from the hot water pipe increased, the temperature gap increased from $4.0^{\circ}C$ to $4.8^{\circ}C$. The power consumed until the surface temperature of the heat storage layer reached $30^{\circ}C$ was 2.2 times that of the control model. From the heating experiment, the stepwise temperature and electricity consumption were calculated, and the electricity consumption of the heat storage layer of the test model was reduced by 66%. In the cooling experiment, the surface temperature of the heat storage layer of the test model was maintained $2^{\circ}C$ higher than that of the control model. The heat storage effect of the porous feldspar mortar was confirmed by the temperature experiment. With considering that the time to reheat the heat storage layer is extended, the energy efficiency will be increased.

Gold mineralization of Samjeong and Yongjang gold mines in Uichang area shows characteristics of Bonanza-type gold deposits. Ores are mainly developed along the contact parts between quartz vein and arkosic sandstone beds(Fe-rich bed) in sedimentary rock. Electrum, silver sulfide and sulfate minerals are mainly in the ores. On the other hand, gold mineralization is less developed in cherty rock and andesitic rock than arkosic sandstone. The study highlights characteristics of gold precipitation in the deposit on the basis of numerical modelling of the reactions between the assumed hydrothermal ore fluids with multicomponent heterogeneous equilibrium calculations. Aqueous species, gases and minerals, containing electrum are included in the calculations. The reaction result between hydrothermal ore fluids and arkosic sandstone show that pH increasing in the ore-forming fluid would trigger precipitation of quartz, chlorite, sericite, chalcopyrite, galena, pyrite, electrum, actinolite and feldspar. The numerical modelling also illustrates the drastic increase of pH and desulfidation lead to precipitation of electrum. Ag/Au ratios in the ore vary with pH conditions and subsequently precipitation of silver-bearing sulfides such as acanthite and polybasite. The modelling of the reaction between andesitic rock and ore-forming fluid shows that mineral assemblages of the case are analogous to ones of the reaction between arkosic sandstone and fluid except the latter has little portion of electrum. The abovementioned modelling results suggest that gold-silver mineralization is bounded by host rocks at the study area.

The road tunnel install a vent for the purpose of ventilation and smoke control. Ventilation equipment capacity(number of jet fans) depends on from the condition that of the pressure and ventilation resistance. Pressure and the resistance under operating vehicle have affected on the drag coefficient. The drag coefficient of the tunnel have affected by the blockage effect and slipstream effects. However, when calculating the ventilation fan, are not properly consider taking into account such effects. Therefore, ventilation force may have been slightly overestimated. This paper describes the drag coefficient through a numerical analysis to calculate the equivalent resistance area that reflects the vehicle distance, and examined the equivalent resistance area. The ventilation coefficient corresponding to the result heavy vehicle mixing ratio of the present study was not clear. Equivalent resistance area had reduced by about 86% compared to the road design handbook current standards. Also it had analyzed and reduced to 62.2% compared to Korea Highway Corporation ventilation design criteria ratio, which is the old standard.

Solubility of oil contaminants in surfactant solutions plays an important role in selecting a suitable surfactant type for soil remediation. Solubility measurement procedures consist of making an equilibrium between surfactant solution and oil, solvent extraction using dichloromethane, and condensation for gas chromatography analysis. Solubility measurement requires time consumption and lots of materials. Interfacial tension is the contracting force between two immiscible liquids, surfactant solution and oil, and also closely related to solubility of oil. This study established a relationship between the interfacial tension and solubility of diesel fuel in surfactant solution and suggested a quick method to estimate solubility of oil in a surfactant solution by measuring its interfacial tension. The results of this study showed that the solubility of diesel fuel in surfactant solution was exponentially increased by decreasing the interfacial tension between two immiscible liquids. The solubility of diesel fuel was significantly increased under the interfacial tension conditions below 1 dyne/cm, while the solubility change was not apparent under the interfacial tension conditions beyond 5 dyne/cm. Interfacial tension measurements may allow us to quickly select an efficient surfactant and its concentration for soil remediation.

This study was carried out to investigate the adsorption and the movement of herbicide fenoxaprop-P-ethyl in the silty clay soil(SiC) and the sandy loam soil(SL). Fifteen percent of the added herbicide was adsorbed within 30 min after shaking, and a quasi-equilibrium was reached after 8 to 14 h. The time required for 50% adsorption was 15.8 h in the SiC and 19.3 h in the SL. The equilibrium adsorption isotherm was followed by the Freundlich equation and the Kd was 3.86 in the SiC and 2.32 in the SL. The herbicide in the soil columns flooded with 3 cm water depth and eluted at 0.8 cm/day was leached to 6 cm and 8 cm depth at 7 and 21 days after the treatment, respectively. However, the movement was widened with increased amount of leaching water. The herbicide in the field soils was moved up to 6 cm and 8 cm depth at 14 and 56 days after the treatment, respectively. However, the large amount of the applied herbicide was distributed in 0~2 cm profile in all of the soils examined. Half-life of the chemical in soils was shorter than 7 days and the time to 90% degradation was about 4 weeks. The results indicate that the herbicide has relatively small mobility and short persistence.

Crushed pinewood and oakwood were studied as an adsorbent for Pb(II) removal from aqueous solution. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to describe the effects of contact time, initial Pb(II) concentration, pH, competing cations, and adsorbent dosage on the Pb(II) adsorption process. Kinetic studies revealed that the Pb(II) adsorption process for pinewood and oakwood followed both pseudo first and pseudo second order model. The Fruendlich model best described equilibrium adsorption data with correlation coefficients ($R^2$) of 0.956 and 0.950 for pinewood and oakwood. The maximum adsorption capacity of Pb(II) onto pinewood and oakwood was found to be 16.853 and 27.989 mg/g, respectively. The Pb(II) adsorption onto both pinewood and oakwood was increased as pH increased in the pH range 3-9. The presence of cations such as $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, and $Al^{3+}$ decreased Pb(II) adsorption. The Pb(II) removal was greater in seawater than deionized water, resulting from the presence of $CO{_3}^{2-}$ and $OH^-$ ions in seawater. This study showed that pinewood and oakwood have a potential application in the remediation of Pb(II) contaminated water.

Permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) technology has been focused in contaminated groundwater remediation. It is necessary to select adequate reactive material according to characteristics of contaminant in groundwater. In this research, the reaction between reactive material and heavy metal contaminants was estimated through column test. Reactive material was slag, which has been produced in Gwangyang power plant, and heavy metal contaminants were cadmium, lead and copper. Column test was performed in the condition of 1) single and multi contaminated solution and 2) different initial concentration of cadmium. Retardation factor of cadmium is 3.94 in multi contamination. But that of copper is 40.3 in single and 25 in multi. The difference of retardation between cadmium and copper is due to affinity, resulted from the difference of electronegativity. In multi-contamination, copper effluent concentration was above initial copper concentration and at the same time lead effluent concentration was decreased. This phenomenon was considered that lead extract copper sorbed in slag and then lead was sorbed to the vacant sorption site instead. And as the initial concentration was increased, the retardation factor of cadmium became decreased.
