In order to investigate the level of heavy metal contamination and the seasonal variation of metal concentrations in soils and sediments influenced by past mining activities, tailings, soil and sediment samples were collected from the Hwacheon mine in Korea. The main pollution sources in this mine site are suggested as tailings and mine waste rocks. Elevated levels of Cd, Pb and Zn were found in soils and sediments. In a study of seasonal variation on the heavy metals in soils and sediments, heavy metals were higher enriched collected from before rainy season ($2^{nd}$ sampling) than after rainy season ($1^{st}$ sampling). Also, in order to estimate the microbial effects on Cd speciation in sediments, bacteria which can adsorb Cd was isolated and Cd adsorption characteristics of isolated bacteria in Cd solution was evaluated. The Cd bioremoval efficiency in Cd solution (5 ppm) by bacteria was more than $90\%$. Bioremoval efficiency in single metal solution was higher than that in mixed metal solution of Pb and Zn.

Gold mineralization of the Ogkye gold mine was deposited mainly in quartz veins up to 150 cm wide which occupy fissures in Cambrian Pungchon limestone. Ore minerals are relatively simple as follows: pyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, electrum and galena. On the basis of the Ag/Au ratio on ore grades, mode of occurrence and assoicated mineral assemblages, the Ogkye gold deposit can be classified as pyrite-type gold deposit (Group IIB). Fluid inclusion data indicate that ore minerals were deposited between $400^{\circ}$and $230^{\circ}C$ from relatively dilute fluids (0.2 to 7.3 wt.% eq. NaCl) containing $CO_2$. The ore mineralization resulted from a complex history of $CO_2$ effervescence and local concomitant boiling coupled with cooling and dilution of ore fluids. Gold deposition was likely a result of decrease of sulfur activity caused by sulfide deposition and/or $H_2S$ loss accompanying fluid unmixing. Sulfur isotope compositions of sulfide minerals (${\delta}^{34}S=3.5{\sim}5.9$‰) are consistent with ${\delta}^{34}S_{H_2S}$ value of 4.8 to 6.1‰, suggesting mainly an igneous source of sulfur partially mixed with wall-rock sulfur.

In order to investigate the dispersion patterns and contamination level of heavy metals in the soil-ecosystem and to evaluate the efficiency of soil remediation by reversed soil method, soils and plants were collected from the Dongjin Au-Ag-Cu mine area and analysed for heavy metals. The dispersion patterns of heavy metals in soils and plants show that heavy metal pollutions caused by waste rump around Dongjin mine are mainly found in the vicinity of the waste rump and in the southward slanting of mine. Toxic metallic pollutants from the mine influence heavy metal contents in paddy soils in downstream area, and may be a potential sources of heavy metal pollution on crop plants. Soil samples collected from the remediated rice farming field by reversed method show similar levels of heavy metal content to those from the polluted rice farming field, but topsoil enrichment of heavy metals are not found. Heavy metal contents of the rice plants collected from remediated rice farming field are significantly lower than those from polluted rice farming field, and it suggests that the reversed soil method is effective for the reduction of bioavailability of heavy metals.

The characteristics of wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) are governed by many factors such as the power supply type, operating condition and electrode material. This work deals with the effect of wire electrode materials on the machining characteristics such as, metal removal rate, surface characteristics and surface roughness during WEDM A wire's thermal physical properties are melting point, electrical conductivity and vapor pressure. One of the desired qualities of wire is a low melting point and high vapor pressure to help expel the contaminants from the gap. They are determined by the mix of alloying elements (in the case of plain brass and coated wire) or the base core material(i.e. molybdenum). Experiments have been conducted regarding the choice of suitable wire electrode materials and influence of the properties of these materials on the machinability and surface characteristics in WEDM, the experimental results are presented and discussed from their metallurgical aspect. And the coating effect of various alloying elements(Au, Ag, Cu, Zn, Cr, Mn, etc.) to the Cu or 65-35 brass core on them was reviewed also. The removal rate of some coated wires are higher than that of 65-35 brass electrode wire because the wire is difficult to break due to the wire cooling effect of Zn evaporation latent heat and the Zn oxide on the surface is effective in preventing short circuit. The removal rate increases with increasing Zn content from 35, 40 and Zn coated wire

This study was focused on the investigation for the heavy metal contamination of soils derived from Yoecheon Industrial Complex in Chonnam Province. Total 201 soil samples including farmland, paddy, forest and playground soils were collected, extracted by 0.1N HCl and analyzed for Cd, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn and Zn using AAS. Most pH values in soils were weak acidic ranges of 4-6, while some of them were over 8.0. Concentrations of Cd, Cu, Fe and Zn in the soils tend to be relatively high around the Au-Ag mine area, railroad stations and oil station, however, those of Cr, Mn and Pb show high at the northside of Pohang Steel Co (POSCO). Cadmium-Zn couples, and Cd-Zn and Zn-Cr couples have relatively good correlations in the farmland soils and paddy soils, respectively. Concentrations of Cd, Fe and Zn with depth tend to be higher in the top soils than in the bottom soils, but those of Cu and Pb do not show regular variations with depth.

은(Ag) 또는 금(Au) 입자를 촉매로 이용하여 습식식각을 통해 선택적으로 짧은 시간동안 단결정 실리콘 웨이퍼의 표면을 텍스쳐링하여 반사방지막 특성을 효과적으로 얻을 수 있다. 일반적으로 금속입자는 주로 금속 이온이 포함된 용액이나, 전기증착법을 통해서 실리콘 웨이퍼 표면에 형성시켰지만, 금속입자의 크기와 분포를 조절하기 어려웠다. 하지만, 최근 진공장비를 이용하여 열증발증착법(thermal evaporation)과 급속열처리법(rapid thermal annealing)을 통해서 금속입자를 대면적으로 크기와 분포를 균일하게 조절할 수 있다. 이러한 현상은 열적 비젖음(thermal dewetting) 현상에 의해 실리콘 표면위에 증착된 금속 박막으로부터 나노입자로 형성할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 실리콘 (100)기판위에 다양한 크기의 은 또는 금 나노입자를 형성시켜 식각용액에 짧은 시간동안 담그어 식각하여, 텍스쳐링 효과와 반사방지(antireflection) 특성을 분석하였다. 실험을 위해 각각 은 또는 금 박막을 열증발증착법을 이용하여 ~3-8 nm의 두께로 형성시켰으며, 급속가열장치를 이용하여 $500^{\circ}C$에서 5분 동안 열처리하였다. 그리고 탈이온수(de-ionized water)에 불화수소와 과산화수소가 혼합된 식각용액에 1-5분 동안 습식식각을 하였다. 각각의 텍스쳐링 된 샘플의 식각의 상태와 깊이를 관찰하기 위해 field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM)을 이용하여 측정하였으며, UV-vis-NIR spectrophotometer를 이용하여 300 nm에서 1,200 nm의 반사특성을 분석하였다. 또한 RCWA (rigorous coupled wave analysis) 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 텍스쳐링 된 기하학적구조에 대하여 반사방지막 특성을 이론적으로 분석하였다.

콜롬비아는 안데스 산맥의 북단에 위치하며 NS 방향의 단층대를 기준으로 지질 환경의 차이가 크다. 단층대를 기준으로 동부지역은 원생대 변성암류와 이를 피복하는 고생대 변성퇴적암류가 주로 분포하며, 서부 지역은 고생대 퇴적암류, 중생대 화성암류, 제 3 기 화산양류 및 퇴적암류가 주로 분포한다. 지화학이상대는 6개 그룹으로 분류되며, 철 (Fe), 귀금속(Au, Ag, Pt), 기초금속(Cu, Pb, Zn), 희유금속(Sn, Cr, Co, Mn, Mo, Ni, Nb, W, V, Mg, Ti, Be, REE, Ga, Zr, Hf, Se, Te, Ta, Cd, In, Li 등) 빛 핵원료자원인 U 이상대로 구성된다. 콜롬비아의 주요 부존자원은 석탄, 니켈, 금 및 에메랄드이다. 에메랄드, 석탄 및 니켈은 세계적인 매장규모와 생산량을 보인다. 콜롬비아는 탐사가 거의 수행되지 않은 지역이 전 국토의 49%에 달해 광물부존 잠재성은 현재보다 크게 높을 것으로 보인다. 따라서 최근 콜롬비아와의 광물자원 협력이 강화되고 있는 시점에서 미탐사 지역을 대상한 공동탐사를 지화학 이상대가 확인된 지역을 중심으로 수행하여 신규광체를 확보하고, 광물자원 협력을 강화함으로써 공동개발 여건을 마련할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

금속 나노구조체에서의 localized surface plasmon resonance와 surface-enhanced Raman scattering 현상은 센서를 비롯한 다양한 응용분야를 가지고 있다. 나노구조체 array 형성을 위한 대표적인 top-down 방식인 e-beam lithography 공정은 제조비용이 매우 높고 대량생산 및 대면적화에도 한계가 있기에 polystyrene(PS) bead의 self-assembly를 이용한 nanosphere lithography와 같은 bottom-up 방식이 폭넓게 연구되고 있다. Closed-packing된 PS bead의 monolayer를 얻기 위해서는 기판의 친수성 처리가 필요한데, 기존의 많은 연구에서는 기판의 표면개질에 화학적 공정을 이용하고 있다. 하지만 이는 기판 선택의 자유도를 떨어뜨리는 원인이 된다. 금속이나 실리콘 기판에서는 산성 용액을 이용한 화학적 처리방법을 적용할 수 있지만 SU-8과 같은 감광액 및 폴리머 기판에서는 산에 대한 내구성이 떨어져 화학적 공정의 도입이 불가능 하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 한계점을 극복하기 위해 $UV-O_3$ 공정으로 친수성 처리된 다양한 기판에서 spin coating을 통한 PS monolayer를 제조하였는데, UV 램프의 에너지 조절을 통해 기판에 붙어있는 유기물들을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있었고 $O_3$ 생성 및 분해 과정에서 기판 표면에 친수성 화학 작용기를 생성시킬 수 있었다. 제조된 PS layer를 mask로 사용하여 Ag, Al, Au 등 다양한 나노구조체 array를 형성하여 array 주기에 따른 플라즈몬 공명 특성을 분석하였다. 레이저 조사로 나노구조체의 형상을 변화시킴으로써 동일한 물질과 주기를 가진 array에서도 플라즈몬 특성의 변조가 가능함을 확인하였는데, 이는 금속 나노구조체의 응용측면에서 매우 고무적인 발견이다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the ore genesis and occurrence of the Wondong polymetallic mineral deposits. The Pb-Zn, Fe and W-Mo mineralizations are found in skarn zones which formed mainly in or along the fault shear zones with the $N25-40^{\circ}W$ and $N10-50^{\circ}E$ directions, whereas the Cu-Mo mineralization is appeared hydrothermal replacement zone. The skarn minerals consist mainly of garnet and epidote, which were the last alteration phases between pneumatolytic and hydrothermal stages. The mineral paragenesis toward the late stage are as follows: arsenopyrite, scheelite, magnetite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite and molybdenite. Average ore grades are 0.33 g/t Au, 46.29 g/t Ag, 0.06% Cu, 4.4% Pb, 2.61% Zn and 29.39% Fe in tunnels, and 0.31 % Cu, 0.52% Pb, 6.29% Zn, 29.29% Fe, 0.03% Mo and 0.12% $WO_3$ in drill cores. Fluid inclusion data shows that Type I (liquid-rich), Type II (vapor-rich) and Type III (halite-bearing) inclusions are coexisted and their homogenization temperatures are quite similar. This indicates that boiling conditions have been reached during the mineralization. It is also likely that the ore solutions were evolved through the mixing between magmatic and meteoric waters. Rhyolite and quartz porphyry far the mineralization probably are not responsible of the Wondong polymetallic mineral deposits.

The potential-induced charge transfer of the dye (Bu4N)2[Ru(dcbpyH)2-(NCS)2] (N719) on Au, Ag, and Cu electrode surfaces has been examined by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in the applied voltage range between 0.0 and ?0.8 V. N719 is assumed to have a relatively perpendicular geometry with its bipyridine ring on the metal surfaces. A strong appearance of the carboxylate band at ~1370 cm-1 indicates that the carboxyl group will likely be deprotonated on the metal surfaces. As the electric potential is shifted from ?0.8 to 0.0 V, the ν (NCS) band at ~2100 cm-1 on the electrode surfaces appears to undergo a shift in frequency and intensity change. This indicated that the charge transfer between the dye and metal electrode surfaces had occurred. Electric-field-dependent charge transfer differs somewhat depending on the type of metal surfaces as suggested from the dissimilar frequency positions of the ν (NCS) band.
