To find out the oxidation process of potential acid sulfate soil(PASS) along with time. the PASS were treated with lime and ammonia water to adjust soil pH in laboratory column condition. pH range of PASS showed 6.5 to 7.5. however, complete oxidized PASS by $H_2O_2$ showed 2.1 to 2.5. After pilling the PASS under the natural condition. oxidation occured slowly from surface of the pilled soil. The oxidation of PASS proceeded slowly when the soil was in submerged condition. but quickly in dried condition. The content of sulfide-sulfur in PASS sharply decreased after exposing to the air and the decreasing rate was greater in dried than in submerged condition. The content of sulfate-sulfur continuously decreased in submerged condition. but increased in dried condition. Contents of $Fe^{+{+}}$ and $Al^{+{+}}$ in PASS were generally increased with time and the increasing rate was greater in submerged than in dried condition. Liming to PASS was slowly acting to pH change and ammonia water caused fast pH change within a short period of time. The contents of sulfate-sulfur and exchangeable aluminum in drainage water decreased with time and the contents of sulfide-sulfur and ferrous iron were increased.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate on hydration, setting time and compressive strength properties of cement paste mixed alkali-free accelerator using aluminum sulfate for shotcrete. The experimental focus is to variouse added element with alkali-free accelerator for shotcrete using aluminum sulfate. When diethanolamine was used as a component of alkali-free accelerator, alkali-free accelerator contributed to increasing early hydration, setting time and compressive strength properties of cement paste and mortar.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of aluminium sulfate on setting time and compressive strength of cement mortar as focused on formation of ettringite by the reaction between aluminium sulfate and calcium hydrate. The specific parameter was the addition ratio of aluminium sulfate to cement mortar. After specimens made by admixing aluminium of 0~7% by weight of cement, respectively, to cement mixtures, the experimental items such as setting time, compressive strength and heat of hydration in this study were carried out. As a result of this study, it is possible that aluminium sulfate could be added into cement mixture from a standpoint of increasing early compressive strength as considering the setting time and heat of hydration.

알루미늄 합금의 종류중 하나인 ADC12는 가공성이 좋고 가격이 저렴하기 때문에 산업의 많은 분야에 이용할 수 있지만 양극산화를 진행할 시 합금의 주요 구성성분인 실리콘(Si)으로 인해 균열(Crack)이 생기는 문제가 발생하여 이에 따라 균일한 산화막이 생성되지 않다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이 단점을 극복하기 위해 양극산화를 진행할 때 금속 음이온 성분이 첨가된 전해질을 이용하면 실리콘이 떨어져 나간 부분을 자가치료(Self-healing)할 수 있어 피막의 경도를 포함한 각종 특성이 증가하는 결과를 확인할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 ADC12를 양극산화할 때 황산 수용액을 기본 전해질로 하여 전해질에 타이타늄(Ti), 마그네슘(Mg), 몰리브덴(Mo)이 포함되어 있는 금속 음이온 물질을 첨가하였고, 금속 음이온 전해질의 농도와 양극산화 진행 시간을 변수로 하여 제조한 산화막의 전기화학적 특성을 SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope), Tafel plot, 그리고 Microvickers hardness tester를 통해 평가하였다.

Ferroxyl Test는 박막의 치밀도를 측정하는 대표적인 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 Ferroxyl Test를 이용하여 박막의 치밀도를 정량적으로 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 알루미늄(aluminum; Al)은 뛰어난 내부식성 때문에 모재의 부식을 막을 수 있는 보호막으로 널리 사용되고 있다. Al 박막의 치밀도를 측정하기 위해서 스퍼터링(sputtering)으로 철(Fe) 기판위에 Al 타겟(99.99%)을 이용하여 박막을 코팅하였다. Ferroxyl Test 용액은 순수(deionized water)에 Potassium Ferrocyanide와 황산(또는 염화나타륨과 염화암모늄)을 첨가하여 제작하며, 용액에 거름종이를 적셔 Al이 코팅된 철 시편위에 올려놓고 반응시킨다. 일반적인 Ferroxyl test는 거름종이에 나타난 파란색(prussian blue) 반점의 숫자와 면적으로 치밀도를 측정한다. 하지만 이러한 방법은 측정 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 시편에 나타난 반응 반점의 면적을 광학 현미경이나 전자 현미경으로 이미지화하고, 이미지 프로세싱 프로그램을 이용하여 반응 면적을 수치화함으로써 측정오차를 줄이고 정확도를 높이고자 한다. 이러한 측정 방법을 이용하여 알루미늄 박막의 치밀도를 측정한 결과, 최고의 치밀도를 갖는 Al 박막이 Bulk 밀도의 94% 이상으로 측정되었다.

In this study, the production potential of alternative coagulant ($Al_2(SO_4)_3$ solution) having the identical coagulation activity with respect to the commercial coagulant was investigated. The raw material of alternative coagulant was a spent catalyst including aluminium (waste activated alumina) generated in the manufacturing process of the polymer. The alternative coagulant was produced through a series of processes: 1) intense heat and grinding, 2) chemical polymerization and substitution with $H_2SO_4$ solution, 3) dissolution and dilution and 4) settling and separation. To determine the optimal operating conditions in the lab-scale autoclave and dissolver, the content of $Al_2O_3$ in alternative coagulant was analyzed according to changes of the purity of sulfuric acid, reaction temperature, injection ratio of sulfuric acid and water in the dissolver. The results showed that the alternative coagulant having the $Al_2O_3$ content of 7~8% was produced under the optimal conditions such as $H_2SO_4$ purity of 50%, reaction temperature of $120^{\circ}C$, injection ratio of $H_2SO_4$ of 5 times and injection ratio of water of 2.3 times in dissolver. In order to evaluate the coagulation activity of the alternative coagulant, the Jar-test was conducted to the effluent in aerobic reactor. As a result, in both cases of Al/P mole of 1.5 and 2.0, the coagulation activity of the alternative coagulant was higher than that of the existing commercial coagulant. When the production costs were compared between the alternative and commercial coagulant through economic analysis, the production cost reduction of about 50% was available in the case of the alternative coagulant. In addition, it was identified that the alternative coagulant could be applied at field wastewater treatment plant without environmental problem through ecological toxicity testing.

The purpose of this study is to improve coagulation efficiency by pre-treatment of high pH water using sulfuric acid. The common reason of pH increasing at down stream of Nakdong river is water blooming. The pH go above 9.0 during water blooming periods. The higher pH water demands more coagulant and pre-chlorine dosage than lower pH water for better coagulation condition. The DOC, THMFP, UV-254 after coagulation with the same coagulant dosage by pre-treatment from pH 9.2 down to 8.1 with sulfuric acid are 1.84mg/L, $51{\mu}g/L$ and $0.032cm^{-1}$, by pretreatment of chlorine are 2.09mg/L, $78{\mu}g/L$ and $0.030cm^{-1}$, by pre-treatment of sulfuric acid and chlorine are 2.14mg/L, $72{\mu}g/L$ and $0.031cm^{-1}$ respectively. Pretreatment with sulfuric acid can improve water quality and reduce coagulant demand.

This study was to evaluate the optimum conditions for chemical coagulation to remove color from the effluent of a piggery wastewater treatment process. The DOC concentration in the effluent was about 227.3 mg/L, color was 2,430 CU, turbidity was 22.1 NTU, and UV$_{254}$-absorbance was 3.7 cm$^{-1}$. The fractions of hydrophobic, transphilic, and hydrophilic substance of the effluent was about 55.3%, 17.4%, 27.3% respectively. Also, molecular weight cut-off(MWCO) of below 0.5 K, 0.5 K to 1 K, 1 K to 10 K, 10 K to 30 K, and over 30 K were 74.2%, 7.3%, 5.5%, 7.1%, and 5.9% respectively. SCD(streaming current Detector) was used to find out the optimum pH values and coagulant dosages. The optimum dosages and pH of Al$^{3+}$ were 5.84 mM and 5.3, while those of Fe$^{3+}$ were 9.25 mM and 5.0, respectively. At optimum conditions of coagulation, color removal efficiencies for aluminium sulfate and ferric chloride were as high as 91.9 and 98.7%, respectively. Chemical coagulation showed good performance to remove color from on biologically treated piggery wastewater.

This study examined the neurotoxicity of aluminum sulfate (AS), an environmental pollutant, and the protective effect of Phrymaleptostachya var. asiatica HARA (PLVAH) extract on the neurotoxicity induced by AS in the cultured C6 glioma cells. For this study, the cell viability and antioxidative effects, such as electron donating (ED) activity, lipid peroxidation (LP) activity, and superoxide anion-radical (SAR) scavenging activity, were analyzed. AS decreased the cell viability significantly in a dose-dependent manner and the $XTT_{50}$ value was measured at $120.0{\mu}M$ of AS. The neurotoxicity of AS was determined to be mid-toxic by Borenfreund and Puerner's toxic criteria. In addition, the catalase (CAT), antioxidant enzyme remarkably increased the cell viability injured by AS-induced neurotoxicity in these cultures. Regarding the protective effect of the PLVAH extract on AS-induced neurotoxicity, PLVAH extract significantly increased the ED ability, and the inhibitory ability of the LP and SAR scavenging ability. These findings suggest that oxidative stress is involved in the cytotoxicity of AS, and the PLVAH extract effectively protected against AS-induced neurotoxicity by its antioxidative effects. Natural resources, such as the PLVAH extract may be a putative therapeutic agent for the treatment of the toxicity induced by heavy metallic compounds, such as AS correlated with the oxidative stress.
