Friar Tuck 폐광산은 인디아나주 남서부 Tuck Greene-Sullivan 군 경계에 위치하고 있다. 현재 진행중인 복구작업이 시행되기 전, Friar Tuck 광상은 인디아나주 내에서 가장 규모가 크고 환경오염상태가 심각한 폐탄광중의 하나였다. 직접 식물재배법이 tailing ponds에 적용되었다. 버럭더미는 산성수의 오염을 막고 토양이 외부로 흘러 나가는 것을 방지하기 위해 표면을 고른 후 토양오염이 비교적 덜 된 흙으로 덮고 농업용 석회석, 화학비료 및 퇴비를 뿌려 풀 종자를 심었다. 사면의 침식방지를 최소화 하기 위하여 terrace, diversion ditch, 및 gabion structures가 설치도었다. 산성수 처리를 위하여 실내 및 광산현장에서 인회석을 이용한 새로운 방법이 실험되었다. 인회석은 산성수 본래의 pH를 유지하면서 철 및 알루미늄을 효과적으로 제거하였다. 광산폐기물에서 파생되는 산성수 내의 철 및 알루미늄의 농도가 높은 경우에도 이 방법을 사용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

화학적 바인더를 사용하여 활성탄을 고정화시킨 필터 여재(filter media)와 바인더를 사용하지 않고 니들펀치 공정으로 제조한 필터여재를 비교해 보았다. 제조된 콤비네이션 필터는 실차의 내용적과 비슷한 크기의 챔버 내부의 차량용 송풍기에 장착하여 가스제거 효과를 평가하여 보았다. 화학적 바인더를 사용한 캐빈에어필터는 바인더에 의해 활성탄의 흡착기공이 막혀 아세트알데히드 제거 효과가 감소하리라는 예측과 반대로 니들펀칭 공정으로 제조한 필터에 비해 아세트알데히드 1 min 및 30 min 제거효율이 더 높게 나타났다. 니들펀칭 공정에 따르면 활성탄의 소수성결합력(hydrophobic interaction)으로 인해 화학적 바인더를 사용한 캐빈에어필터보다 공극면적(void area)이 상대적으로 더 넓은 것으로 나타났다.

Defense-in-depth is a fundamental safety principle for the design and operation of nuclear power plants. Despite its general appeal, defense-in-depth is not without its drawbacks, which include its potential for concealing the occurrence of hazardous states in a system, and more generally rendering the latter more opaque for its operators and managers, thus resulting in safety blind spots. This in turn translates into a shrinking of the time window available for operators to identify an unfolding hazardous condition or situation and intervene to abate it. To prevent this drawback from materializing, we propose in this work a novel safety principle termed "observability-in-depth". We characterize it as the set of provisions technical, operational, and organizational designed to enable the monitoring and identification of emerging hazardous conditions and accident pathogens in real-time and over different time-scales. Observability-in-depth also requires the monitoring of conditions of all safety barriers that implement defense-in-depth; and in so doing it supports sensemaking of identified hazardous conditions, and the understanding of potential accident sequences that might follow (how they can propagate). Observability-in-depth is thus an information-centric principle, and its importance in accident prevention is in the value of the information it provides and actions or safety interventions it spurs. We examine several "event reports" from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission database, which illustrate specific instances of violation of the observability-in-depth safety principle and the consequences that followed (e.g., unmonitored releases and loss of containments). We also revisit the Three Mile Island accident in light of the proposed principle, and identify causes and consequences of the lack of observability-in-depth related to this accident sequence. We illustrate both the benefits of adopting the observability-in-depth safety principle and the adverse consequences when this principle is violated or not implemented. This work constitutes a first step in the development of the observability-in-depth safety principle, and we hope this effort invites other researchers and safety professionals to further explore and develop this principle and its implementation.

Purpose Retrofit, defined to be addition of new technologies or features to the old system to increase efficiency or to abate GHG emissions, is considered as an important alternative for the old coal-fired power plant. The purpose of this study is to propose mathematical method to model multiple alternative retrofit in Generation Capacity Expansion Planning(GCEP) problem, and to get insight to the retrofit patterns from realistic case studies. Design/methodology/approach This study made a multi-alternative retrofit GECP model by adopting some new variables and equations to the existing GECP model. Added variables and equations are to ensure the retrofit feature that the life time of retrofitted plant is the remaining life time of the old power plant. We formulated such that multiple retrofit alternatives are simultaneously compared and the best retrofit alternative can be selected. And we found that old approach to model retrofit has a problem that old plant with long remaining life time is retrofitted earlier than the one with short remaining life time, fixed the problem by some constraints with some binary variables. Therefore, the proposed model is formulated into a mixed binary programming problem, and coded and run using the GAMS/cplex. Findings According to the empirical analysis result, we found that approach to model the multiple alternative retrofit proposed in this study is comparing simultaneously multiple retrofit alternatives and select the best retrofit satisfying the retrofit features related to the life time. And we found that retrofit order problem is cleared. In addition, the model is expected to be very useful in evaluating and developing the national policies concerning coal-fired power plant retrofit.

To abate the problem of odor from restaurants, a hybrid adsorbent consisting of organic and inorganic materials was developed and evaluated using acetaldehyde as a model compound was deveioped and evaluated. Powders of activated carbon, bentonite, and calcium hydroxide were mixed and calcinated to form adsorbent structure. The surface area of the hybrid adsorbent was smaller than that of high-quality activated carbon, but its microscopic image showed that contours and pores were developed on its surface. To determine its adsorption capacity, both batch isotherm and continuous flow column experiments were performed, and these results were compared with those using commercially available activated carbon. The isotherm tests showed that the hybrid adsorbent had a capacity 40 times higher than that of the activated carbon. In addition, the column experiments revealed that breakthrough time of the hybrid adsorbent was 2.5 times longer than that of the activated carbon. These experimental results were fitted to numerical simulations by using a homogeneous surface diffusion model (HSDM); the model estimated that the hybrid adsorbent might be able to remove acetaldehyde at a concentration of 40 ppm for a 5-month period. Since various odor compounds are commonly emitted as a mixture when meat is barbecued, it is necessary to conduct a series of experiments and HSDM simulations under various conditions to obtain design parameters for a full-scale device using the hybrid adsorbent.

Background: This study is aimed at identifying the anti-inflammatory properties of 70% ethanol extract produced from an edible brown seaweed Sargassum horneri (SJB-SHE) with industrial-scale production by Seojin Biotech Co. Ltd. S. horneri is a rich source of nutrient and abundantly growing along the shores of Jeju, South Korea. Methods: Here, we investigated the effect of SJB-SHE on LPS-activated RAW 264.7 macrophages. The cytotoxicity and NO production of SJB-SHE were evaluated using MTT and Griess assays, respectively. Additionally, protein expression and gene expression levels were quantified using ELISA, Western blots, and RT-qPCR. Results: Our results indicated that pre-treatment of RAW 264.7 macrophages with SJB-SHE significantly inhibited LPS-induced NO and $PGE_2$ production. SJB-SHE downregulated the proteins and genes expression of LPS-induced iNOS and COX2. Additionally, SJB-SHE downregulated LPS-induced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-$1{\beta}$). Furthermore, SJB-SHE inhibited nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-${\kappa}B$) activation and translocation to the nucleus. SJB-SHE also suppressed the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (ERK1/2 and JNK). Conclusions: Collectively, our results demonstrated that SJB-SHE has a potential anti-inflammatory property to use as a functional food ingredient in the future.

Ultrafine dust causes asthma and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases when inhaled. Ammonia (NH3) plays a big role in ultrafine dust formation in the atmosphere by reacting with nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx) emitted from various sources. The agricultural sector is the single largest contributor of NH3, with the vast majority of emissions ensuing from fertilizers and livestock sector. Interest in using biochar to attenuate these NH3 emissions has grown. This experiment was conducted to study the effects of using rice hull biochar pyrolyzed at three different temperatures of 250℃ (BP 4.6, biochar pH 4.6), 350℃ (BP 6.8), and 450℃ (BP 10.3) on the emission of ammonia from soil fertilized with urea. The emissions of NH3 initially increased as the experiment progressed but decreased after peaking at the 84th hour. The amount of emitted NH3 was lower in soil with biochar amendments than in that without biochar. Emissions amongst biochar-amended soils were lowest for the BP 6.8 treatment, followed in an ascending order by BP 10.3 and BP 4.6. Since BP 6.8 biochar with neutral pH resulted in the lowest amount of NH3 emitted, it can be concluded that biochar's pH has an effect on the emissions of NH3. The results of this study, therefore, indicate that biochar can abate NH3 emissions and that a neutral pH biochar is more effective at reducing gaseous emissions than either alkaline or acidic biochar.

본 연구에서는 가장 대표적인 AAM 중 하나인 규산나트륨 적용 AAS의 수화물 구성에 대한 화학양론 모델을 개발하고, 이 결과를 열역학적 모델 결과와 비교하였다. 기본적으로 Chen and Brouwers(2007a)의 모델을 기반으로 하였으며, 일부 수화물에 대한 최신의 데이터베이스를 적용해 일부 개선하였다. 계산된 AAS에 대한 결과는 또한 OPC의 그것과도 비교되었다. AAS의 화학양론 모델 기반 수화물의 부피 구성비는 열역학적 모델 결과에 비해 약 최대 20% 이내에서의 차이가 발견되었으며, w/b 및 활성화제량에 의한 변화량의 추이 역시 열역학적 모델의 결과의 그것과 거의 동일하였다. 특히 고정수량과 공극비는 두 가지 모델에 의한 계산 결과가 약 10% 이내의 차이로 근접하였다. 특히 고정수량의 결과는 실험값과도 거의 동일하였다. 그러나 수화물 및 기타 공극 등 각 상들의 부피에 의해 민감하게 결정되는 값인 화학수축의 경우 열역학적 모델에 비해 화학양론적 모델의 계산결과는 실험결과와 차이가 컸다.

Research papers in the field of atmospheric environment published in three Journals: Journal of Korean Meteorological Society, Atmosphere, and Asia-Pacific Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, are all summarized over period of 60 years since the establishment of Korea Meteorological Society (KMS) in 1963. In addition, current research trends and future outlook in the atmospheric environment field has been also highlighted. The results of historical records published in three KMS journals indicated that the activities, contents, and scope of researches carried out by KMS members in the field of atmospheric environment have yielded the enormous and rapid progress in each of the all four areas over 60 years. In particular, as the chronological progress of observational instruments and availability of satellite data such as from GEMS can be a great asset to deepen the observational and modeling researches in the current and future studies, it is highly anticipated that the more progressive and in-depth studies can be achievable to abate the air pollutants over the Korea as well as northeast Asia.
