하천 및 호소수역에 대한 수질오염원이 지속적으로 증가하는 경우에는 일반적인 농도규제 방식으로는 수질개선에 한계가 나타난다. 이를 해결하기 위해 목표 수질 한도 내에서 유역 배출원의 오염물질총량 관리를 목적으로 하는 수질오염총량관리제 개념이 도입되어 단위유역 지자체별 배출부하량을 관리하고 있지만, 지역의 오염원 배출 특성을 고려하지 않은 저감계획은 오히려 유역 내 새로운 오염원으로 전락하여 수질 개선 효과가 나타나지 않을 수 있다. 따라서 효율적인 총량 관리를 위해서는 수계 내 오염원 파악이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 수질오염총량제 대상 하천인 굴포천의 수질 오염원 분석을 위해 2016년, 2017년 굴포천 유역 토지이용 자료를 활용하여 수질항목과의 상관성을 파악하고 2016년부터 2020년까지 최근 5년 동안 총량측정망을 통해 측정된 유량 및 수질 자료를 이용해 상류, 중류, 하류 각각의 유량-부하량 관계식을 도출하여 지점별 수질 오염원 특성을 분석하였다. 상관분석 결과, 강우 시 밭과 BOD, SS, T-P는 양의 상관성을 보였고, T-N은 강우, 비 강우 시 관계없이 밭, 논에서 높은 양의 상관성을 보였다. 유량-부하량 관계식 도출 결과, 상류의 경우 BOD, COD, T-P, TOC, SS는 유량이 증가함에 따라 농도가 감소하는 특성을 나타내었는데 이는 2019년 4월 이후 오존처리 재이용수 방류에 따른 유량 증가의 영향이라고 사료 된다. 반면 T-N은 유량이 증가함에 따라 농도가 증가하는 특성을 나타내었는데 이는 오존처리 재이용수의 T-N 농도가 하천의 T-N 농도 보다 높아 발생한 것으로 보인다. 중류와 하류의 경우 BOD, COD, T-P, TOC, SS는 유량이 증가함에 따라 농도가 증가하는 특성을 나타내어 강우 시 비점오염원의 영향이 있는 것으로 보인다. 특히, 하류의 경우 유량이 증가함에 따라 수질 농도가 급격히 증가하여 중류에 비해 비점오염원 영향이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.

하천 유사량 자료는 하천관리를 위해 기초적으로 활용되는 자료로 하천의 유지관리를 위한 유사량 자료의 측정은 필수적이다. 따라서, 현재 국내에서는 전국에 138개소의 국가유사량관측망에서 지속적인 유사량 측정을 수행하고 있지만, 기존의 재래식 부유사 채집기를 이용한 부유사 측정을 수행하고 있어 연간 약 20개소 내외에서만 직접조사가 수행되고 있고, 2019년도 기준 전국 138개소 중에서 2006년~2018년 동안 최소 1회 이상 유사량 측정을 수행한 지점은 40개소로 국가 유사량관측망의 약 29% 지점에 대해서만 조사가 수행되고 있다. 해외의 경우에도 기존 재래식 채집기를 통한 유사량 관측을 주로 수행하고 있지만 최근에는 기존 채집기를 이용한 유사량 조사방법의 고비용·저효율로 인한 시공간적 한계로 인해 대안기술이 개발되고 있다. 특히, 최근 해외에서는 ADCP를 활용한 유사량 측정 기술이 기존 부유사 채집기를 이용한 유사량 조사방법의 대안으로 시도되고 있다. ADCP를 이용한 유사량 측정방법은 ADCP의 초음파산란도를 활용하여 간접적으로 부유사의 농도를 추정하는 기술로 ADCP를 이용하여 유량자료과 함께 유사량 자료를 확보할 수 있을 것으로 기대되는 기술이다. 특히, 기존에 설치된 국가하천 자동유량측정장치(H-ADCP)에 적용이 가능하다면 다지점에서의 지속적인 유량측정과 함께 부유사 농도의 측정이 가능할 것으로 기대되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존 국가하천에 설치되어 있는 자동유량측정장치(H-ADCP)의 초음파산란도를 활용한 부유사농도 측정 기술의 적용성을 검토하였다. 적용성의 검토를 위해 2016년 진동지점에서 수집된 H-ADCP 원시자료를 사용하여 초음파산란도를 활용한 부유사농도 측정 방법을 시범적으로 적용하였다. 적용결과, 실측 부유사농도와 H-ADCP로부터 추정된 부유사 농도를 비교를 통해서 H-ADCP를 활용한 부유사농도 측정 방법의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었지만, 기술적인 보완 및 개선이 필요할 것으로 판단되었다. 추후에는 지속적인 연구를 통해 ADCP 유사량 측정기술이 개발된다면 기존 부유사 채집기를 이용한 유사량 측정 방법의 대안으로 유사량 조사를 목적으로 활용이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The critical concentrations of ${\alpha}$-amino capric acid for micelle formation have been determined by the surface tension measurements in both acidic and alkaline solutions, and also by the dye titration using Rhodamine B in alkaline solutions. The critical micelle concentrations obtained by the two methods show the good agreements within experimental errors. Since ${\alpha}$-amino acid is an ampholyte, it may aggregate to form the micelles in both more acidic and basic media than its isoelectric point. It is found that the basic media are rather preferable for the micelle formation than the acidic media. The effect of gegen ions upon the critical concentration for micelle formation in alkaline media is similar to that expected from the salt effect on the CMC (Critical Micelle Concentration).

It is practically difficult to accurately measure the temperature and concentration of a large combustion systems at industrial sites in real time. Temperature measurement using thermocouple, which are mainly used, is a point-measuring method that is less accurate and less reliable to analyze the wide area range of inner combustion system, and has limitations to internal accessibility. In terms of concentration analysis, most measurement methods use sampling method, which are limited by the difficulty of real-time measurement. As a way to overcome these limitations, laser-based measurement methods have been developed continuously. Laser-based measurement are line-average measurement methods with high representation and precision, which are beneficial for the application of large combustion systems. In this study the temperature and concentration were measured in real time by water vapor and oxygen generated during combustion using Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS). The results showed that the average temperature inside the combustion system was 1330℃ and the mean oxygen concentration was 3.3 %, which showed similar tendency with plant monitoring data.

The feasibility of perchlorate reducing-bacteria isolated from the sludge of an anaerobic digester was determined using ammonium perchlorate in aqueous medium. Growth kinetics of the two perchlorate reducing bacteria including Rhodococcus sp. YSPW01 and YSPW02 were investigated using acetate as the electron donor in batch experiment. The growth of YSPW01 and YSPW02 reached a steady-state at 26 and 9 h, respectively. The initial perchlorate concentration was completely reduced within 8 and 7 h by YSPW01 and YSPW02, respectively. The reduction rates were 2.1 and $15mg\;L^{-1}h^{-1}$ for YSPW01, and 3.2 and $15.5mg\;L^{-1}h^{-1}$ for YSPW02, at 1:1 and 5:1 ratios of acetate:perchlorate (w:w), respectively. In this study, the bacteria Rhodococcus sp. YSPW01 and YSPW02 demonstrated a potential for the perchlorate reduction, which could be further investigated for development of an efficient strategy to treat the perchlorate contaminated waters.

This study was carried out to investigate the salt tolerance to the seed germination of 4 forage crops and their critical salt concentration. 1. The rate of seed germinations of 4 forage crops at 0.4% NaCl solution was not significantly decreased compared with control plot but the germination percentages at 0.8% NaCl solution were significantly dropped. 2. The days for germination were gradually delayed by increasing salt concentrations. 3. The growth of seedling root and shoot was slightly depressed at 0.4% salt solution but significantly depressed at 0.8% solution. At 1.2% salt solution, the seedling growth was stopped immediatly after seed germination. 4. The NaCl content in the seedling was increased at the medium containing higher amount of NaCl, however increasing rate of NaCl level in the seedling showed significant differences among the forage crops tested in this experiment. 5. The critical salt concentration to the germination of the forage crops was 0.4% to 0.8%. The perennial ryegrass showed the highest salt tolerance in the seed germination, and the tall fescue and the creeping red fescue showed medium, and the orchardgrass showed the lowest tolerance.

To perform inhalation toxicity test by using experiment animals, we set up an analytical method to monitor didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) in aerosol nebulized into inhalation chambers by ion chromatography. DDAC was adsorbed by XAD-2 resin and analyzed with conductivity detector. Recovery of DDAC desorbed by acetonitrile from XAD adsorbent was 87.8%. The method detection limit (MDL) and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) were 2.97 ${\mu}g/m^3$ and 8.92 ${\mu}g/m^3$, respectively. Repeatability was calculated as RSD 7.8% in the range of 0~20 ${\mu}g/mL$. Time needed to analyze a sample was less than 5 minutes. Therefore, the analysis of DDAC by ion chromatography was practically useful in monitoring DDAC in inhalation chambers with rapidity and sensitivity manner to perform inhalation toxicity test using experimental animals.

This study was conducted to investigate the physiological and structural damages to cadmium (Cd) in Acorus calamus var. angustatus as a native aquatic species in Korea. In addition to the physiological responses such as plant growth, photosynthesis, and root activity, the structural damages in leaf and root tissues were observed through light and scanning electronic microscopy. The five-leaf plants were treated with different Cd concentrations 0, 10, 25, and 50 ${\mu}M$ for 15 days. The plant damages to Cd were significant at 10-25 ${\mu}M$ Cd physiologically and at 25-50 ${\mu}M$ Cd structurally. The physiological damages in the shoot part (photosynthesis) started at 10 ${\mu}M$ Cd whereas those in root part (root activity) were serious above 25 ${\mu}M$ Cd. On the other hand, the structural damages began at 25 ${\mu}M$ Cd in the leaf and root tissues similarly, but the plant tissue destruction was more serious in the roots than in leaves. Based on the plant physiological and structural damages, 10 ${\mu}M$ was assumed to be the limited concentration for sustainable growth and landscaping ability in Acorus calamus var. angustatus to Cd.

Leaching behavior of copper using electro-generated chlorine was investigated in hydrochloric acid solutions. When leached copper concentration was lower than 3.6g/L, the utilization efficiency of the electro-generated chlorine was close to 100% at $10mA/cm^2,\;25^{\circ}C$, 400 rpm in 1M HCl solutions. The concentration ot the leached copper over 3.6g/L caused the electrode potential to drop quietly, leading to a change or leaching mechanism. The leaching rate oi copper began to decrease at the concentration of copper 5.2g/L. This is probably due to the formation of a layer of CuCl on Cu metal in 1M HCl solutions. The leaching rate, however, was not retarded in a solution ot high chloride concentration. The high solubility of CuCl in the solution may prevent the formation of CuCl on Cu metal.

In this study, we conducted a study on characteristics of exhaust gas emissions from boiler when water-bunker oil mixed by homogenizer was burned in boiler. The results showed that NOx concentration and CO concentration of the homogenized bunker oil was decreased by 19% and 54% compared to pure bunker oil pretreatment was not being performed. And, in the case of water-bunker A oil, the NOx concentration was decreased with increasing water mixing ratio in bunker A oil. In particular, the NOx concentration in exhaust gas of 20 %water-80 %bunker A oil decrease by 45 % compared with pure bunker-A. However, the CO concentration in exhaust gas of 20 %water-80 %bunker A oil shows irregular changes. This means that the mixing of water more than a certain amount can cause a decrease in combustion performance. From this result, it can be found that critical mixing ratio of water in bunker A oil for normal combustion is 15% in this study. Deposition amount of soot that is collected in the vicinity of the chimney was decreased with increasing water mixing ratio.
