생산 현장뿐만 아니라 일상생활의 여러 곳에서 환경을 악화시키는 유해물질이 배출되어, 그를 위한 대책이 초미의 관심사로 되어있다. 종래 다종다양한 유해물질 중에서 일부의 기체상의 물질에 대해서는 그 성질에 따라 연소나 촉매를 사용한 화학적 처리 활성탄 흡착 등의 물리적 처리가 실시되어 왔지만 근년 대기중에서의 방전현상에 수반하여 발생하는 플라스마에 의한 화학반응을 사용한 처리방식이 많은 연구기관에서 시도되고 그 중에는 종래 방식으로는 곤란했던 물질(예를 들면 프론가스)의 분해ㆍ무해화 처리로 실용화된 예도 있다. (중략)

생물학적 폐수처리란 유기물을 함유한 폐수를 처리하기 위하여 물의 자정작용을 부분적으로 이용하여 인공적으로 효율을 높인 방법을 말한다. 이런 생물학적 처리가 물리화학적인 처리법보다 경제적인 경우는 대개 용존 유기물의 농도가 수천 ppm미만으로 (대개 수백 ppm) 묽은 경우이다. 생물학적 처리는 물리화학적 처리법에 비해 초기투자비가 큰 반면 운전비가 적고 2차 오염물질의 발생도 적은 편이다. 1992년 현재 국내의 폐수처리장의수는 약 25,000개이고 이중 생물학적 폐수처리장이 설치된 곳은 약 2,400여곳으로 대개 일일 배출량이 50톤 이상인 곳이다. 총 배출량은 약 800만톤/일이며 톤당 처리비를 평균 400원 정도로 가정한다면 년간 1조 1천억원이 폐수처리를 위해 쓰여지고 있음을 추정할 수 있다. 폐수처리설비는 최근 매년 15% 이상의 증가를 보여왔으며 배출수 기준이 강화됨에 따라 실질적인 운전비는 더욱 커지고 있는 추세이다. 따라서 이러한 폐수처리설비의 핵심인 생물학적 처리공정의 효율을 증대하는 것이 중요하며 이에 생물공학의 적극적인 활용이 요청되고 있는 것이다. 여기서는 폐수처리에 쓰이는 생물반응기의 현황을 고찰하고 향후 해결해야 할 방향을 살펴보고자 한다.

This review investigated theoretical principals and practical application examples on recirculation system of soil washing-wastewater treatment-treated water recycling. As for technologies which have attempted to remediating metals-contaminated soil in and around country, there are reactive barriers, encapsulation, solidification/stabilization, soil washing, and phytoremediation. Among those, in particular, this review covers soil washing technology which physicochemically removes contaminants from soils. The major drawbacks of this technology are to generate a large amount of wastewater which contains contaminants complexed with ligands of washing solution and needs additional treatment process. To solve these problems, many chemical treatment methods have been developed as follows: precipitation/coprecipitation, membrane filtration, adsorption treatment, ion exchange, and electrokinetic treatment. In the last part of the review, recent research and field application cases on soil washing wastewater treatment and recycling were introduced. Based on these integrated technologies, it could be achieved to solve the problem of soil washing wastewater and to enhance cost effective process by reducing total water resources use in soil washing process.

The effects of dip treatments of chemicals (ascorbic acid, citric acid, calcium chloride: 1% solution) and physicals (vacuum packing, $50^{\circ}C$ distilled water) on the browning and quality of 'Daebo' peeled chestnut were studied. During the storage, the surface color of the samples showed higher ${\Delta}E$ values and lower L values than that of the initial sample. The color with the normal packing treatment hardly changed, unlike in the chemical and physical treatments. The calcium chloride treatment showed less color change than other treatments. The marketable quality was maintained for 10 days with the normal packing and for 35 days with the chemical and physical treatments. Thus, the chemical and physical treatments, especially with vacuum packing after 1% calcium chloride treatment, extended the shelf-life of the 'Daebo' peeled chestnut by inhibiting the browning.

Redispersion of Pt-Sn particles in Pt, PtSn catalyst which have been sintered by high temperature hydrogen reduction was investigated using oxygen treatment with various temperatures. The aim of this study was to understand the relationship between the catalytic activity for propane dehydrogenation reaction and the change in the physicochemical properties of the catalyst. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), CO pulse chemisorption, and H₂ temperature programmed reduction (H₂-TPR) were performed to investigate the state of active metal and interactions between particles of redispersed catalyst. It was confirmed that the dispersion and particle size of platinum, the crystal phase of the catalyst, and the reduction behavior were changed according to the oxygen treatment. As for the catalytic activity in propane dehydrogeantion, sintered PtSn catalyst treated with oxygen at 500 ℃ showed best activity and recovery of initial activity. It was confirm that catalyst after oxygen treatment at 500 ℃ showed high dispersion of Pt and decreased particle size as the results of CO pulse chemisorption and XRD of catalyst, and thus the redispersion of PtSn particles in sintered catalyst was occurred. Catalytic activity was recovered due to redispersion using oxygen treatment, and the activity recovery of the PtSn catalyst was higher than that of Pt catalyst.

The study was conducted to compare the chemical properties and microbial activity of soil and the crop productivity by applying homemade liquid fertilizers (LF) used in leading cucumber farms as well as to evaluate the eco-friendly LFs to substitute for a chemical fertilizer. Three homemade LFs, EM, starfish, and native microbes, and a chemical LF were regularly fertigated per three days during the growing season. Chemical LF contained the highest pH, EC (electrical conductivity), and concentrations of T-N, $P_2O_5$, K, Ca, and Mg, while the lowest EC level was observed for EM LF. Soil EC was the highest to the 3.0 dS/m for chemical LF-plots, with lowering soil pH, OM (organic matter), and Mg concentration. Soil chemical properties mostly increased in native microbes LF-plots. However, soil microbial properties were not significantly different among the LF treatment plots. OTU (operational taxonomic units), richness estimator, and diversity index of bacteria and fungi increased in the chemical LF and EM LF based on the pyrosequencing analysis. SPAD and PS II values on the treated-cucumber leaves were seasonally decreased from 32 to 60 days after transplanting, with the rapid decline observed at 45 days after transplanting. Number of leaves and crop height increased in the treatments with EM and native microbes LF. LF treated-cucumber crops were not significantly different for total fresh weight and fruit yield.

An elastomer (especially PDMS) sponge is considered to be a promising selective absorber in cleaning up oil spills. The performance of a PDMS sponge in capturing and separating oil from (sea) water depends on several parameters such as surface roughness, physicochemical treatments, and hydrostatic stability. Here, we first present a method of fabricating the PDMS sponges having numerous micro-sized pores that act as absorption and storage spaces for the target material, and then we report an experimental effort undertaken to control the surface physicochemistry (i.e., hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity) of the PDMS sponges by adjusting the size of the pores and the concentration of the surfactant (i.e., silwet L-77). From the experimental results, we develop an in-depth understanding of the mechanism for controlling the surface physicochemistry of PDMS using water-soluble micro-sized particles and a surfactant. The surface energy and absorbing behavior of the PDMS sponges are also extensively discussed.

The use of slurry with a mix of abrasives and coolant for making Wire Saw in the photovoltaic industry has sharply increased with the semiconductor wafer. In this paper, the slurry was isolated, purified and dried by microwave drying method with high-purity silicon carbide powder obtained through chemical processing. Dried slurry bulk was first pulverized and chemical treatment was applied to produce powder. The produced slurry powder was then analyzed by going through the following analysis; thermal analysis, particle size analyses: SEM shots, elemental analysis, XRF and XRD. The results of this study found the recovery rate of the power obtained though the chemical processing to be higher than the one obtained from mineral processing. The results anticipate infrastructure building and active responses to increasingly stronger domestic and international environmental regulations through the integration and recycling of large amounts of slurry in the photovoltaic industry.

The objective of this study was to investigate growth and fruiting characteristics (e.g., nut qualities) of chestnut (Castanea cerenata) after applying various fertilizer treatments at the cultivation site in Suncheon. Fertilizer treatments were designed as follow: liquid fertilizer, chemical fertilizer, organic fertilizer, and control. Both liquid and chemical fertilizer treatments provided the best growth in height and basal diameter. In addition, these two treatments were very effective for crown width of the trees between both east-west and north-south orientation. The liquid fertilizer treatment was effective on total length of the fruiting branch and length of the bearing to terminate part. Both liquid and chemical fertilizer treatments produced the longest length of basal to bearing part compared to the other two treatments. The liquid fertilizer treatment showed the most thickened basal diameter of the fruiting branch and the greatest diameter of above and below the bearing burr part. Elongation Index of the fruiting branch (EI) was the highest with liquid fertilizer treatment and the remaining four indices (Production Index of fruiting branch, PI; Ratio of Diameter between below and above bearing burr part, RD; Growth Index of fruiting branch diameter, GI; Thickness Index of fruiting branch or dormant branch, TI) were the highest with the chemical fertilizer treatment. Total number of produced branch per fruiting mother branch and number of small and weak branches per fruiting mother branch were highest on the control and liquid fertilizer treatment; however, all treatments produced similar numbers. The chemical and organic fertilizer treatments produced a high number of fruiting branches per fruiting mother branch, while organic and liquid fertilizer treatments produced a high number of burr per fruiting branch. The rate of commercializing on the basis of nut weight and quantity was higher on control (87.5%) than chemical fertilizer treatment (84.6%); however, the rate was even lower on liquid fertilizer treatment (84.3%) and organic fertilizer treatment (82.7%). The liquid fertilizer treatment showed the highest average of nut weight, while chemical fertilizer treatment showed the highest average number of fruiting burr. There was no significant difference in average number of normal nuts per burr among treatments. The yield per tree was high on chemical (8.2 kg) and liquid (8.0 kg) fertilizer treatments, but there was no significant difference among treatments. In the rate of nut grade on the basis of nut weight and quantity, the liquid fertilizer treatment, 43.5% and 34.3% more than large nut respectively, produced higher value chestnuts compared to other treatments.
