침출수 미생물에 의한 크롬 6가이온의 3가이온으로의 환원을 회분식 배양 및 실험실 규모의 연속배양체제에서 연구하였다. 회분식 배양에 있어서 다양한 범위는 침출수 (10~60%)와 glucose (50~200 mM)를 첨가한 최소배지에서 초기 농도 $20mg\;L^{-1}$의 크롬(VI)을 첨가한 경우 72시간내에 최대 90%의 크롬(VI)이 침출수 미생물에 의하여 환원되었다. 이때 glucose의 첨가는 크롬환원을 촉진시켰으나, 배지내 침출수 비율의 증가는 오히려 크롬환원을 저해하였다. 후자의 경우는 침출수에 존재하는 황산이온이 크롬이온과 경쟁적 저해를 일으키기 때문인 것으로 추정되었다. 연속배양 실험은 124일간 상온에서 크롬(VI)의 농도를 $5{\sim}65mg\;L^{-1}$로 증가시키면서 수행하였으며, 수리학적 체류시간이 36시간일 때 $5{\sim}50mg\;L^{-1}$의 크롬농도 범위에서의 환원은 거의 100%에 달하는 것으로 나타났다. 평균 81.2%의 환원효율을 보인 101~124일 구간에서 계산된 specific reduction rate는 $3.492mg\;g^{-1}\;protein\;h^{-1}$였다. 이상의 결과는 침출수에 존재하는 미생물이 크롬은 함유한 다양한 침출수 또는 피혁폐수의 크롬 무독화과정에 유용하게 쓰일 수 있다는 가능성을 제시해 주는 것이다.

시멘트 내 6가 크롬은 피부질환이나 암을 유발할 수 있는 유해한 인체에 유해한 이온으로 잘 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 사람에게 영향을 주는 시멘트 내 6가 크롬의 정량적 분석을 하고자 시멘트 및 시멘트 경화체 내 6가 크롬의 고정화에 대해 평가하였다. 국내에서 생산되는 일반 포틀랜드 시멘트 3종과 플라이애쉬, 고로슬래그 미분말, 실리카퓸을 사용하여 수용성 및 산가용성 6가 크롬을 분광광도법으로 측정하였다. 측정결과, 시멘트 내 수용성 6가 크롬의 농도는 10.5-18.9 mg/kg-cement 범위였으며 혼화재료 내 수용성 6가 크롬의 양은 매우 적게 측정되었다. 시멘트 내 산가용성 6가 크롬의 농도는 172.4-318.2 mg/kg-cement 범위로 측정되었으며 수용성 6가 크롬에 비해 증가하였다. 그러나 크롬의 pH에 의존적인 용해 특성에 따라 용매의 pH가 저감된다고 하여 산가용성 6가 크롬의 농도가 항상 크게 측정되지는 않았다. 시멘트 수화 후 수용성 6가 크롬은 2.0 mg/kg-cement 정도로 감소하였으며 이는 크롬산-에트링게이트 생성에 의한 결과임을 확인할 수 있었다.

A novel method was developed for the speciation of chromium in natural water samples based on homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). In this method, Cr(III) reacts with a new Schiff's base ligand to form the hydrophobic complex, which is subsequently entrapped in the sediment phase, whereas Cr(VI) remained in aqueous phase. The Cr(VI) assay is based on its reduction to Cr(III) by the addition of sodium sulfite to the sample solution. Thus, separation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) could be realized. Homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction based on the pH-independent phase-separation process was investigated using a ternary solvent system (water-tetrabutylammonium ion ($TBA^+$)-chloroform) for the preconcentration of chromium. The phase separation phenomenon occurred by an ion-pair formation of TBA and perchlorate ion. Then sedimented phase was separated using a $100\;{\mu}L$ micro-syringe and diluted to 1.0 mL with ethanol. The sample was introduced into the flame by conventional aspiration. After the optimization of complexation and extraction conditions such as pH = 9.5, [ligand] = $1.0{\times}10^{-4}\;M$, [$TBA^+$] = $2.0{\times}10^{-2}\;M$, [$CHCl_3$] = $100.0\;{\mu}L$ and [$ClO_4$] = $2.0{\times}10{-2}\;M$, a preconcentration factor (Va/Vs) of 100 was obtained for only 10 mL of the sample. The relative standard deviation was 2.8% (n = 10). The limit of detection was sufficiently low and lie at ppb level. The proposed method was applied for the extraction and determination of chromium in natural water samples with satisfactory results.

Suitability of aluminium-based water treatment sludge (WTS), a waste product from water treatment facilities, was assessed for removal of heavy metals from an electroplating wastewater which had high concentrations of copper and chromium along with other heavy metals. Batch tests with simulated wastewater in single- and multi-metal solutions indicated the influence of initial pH and WTS dose on removal of six metals namely Cu(II), Co(II), Cr(VI), Hg(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II). In general, removal of cationic metals such as Pb(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) increased with increase in pH while that of anionic Cr(VI) showed a reduction with increased pH values. Tests with multi-metal solution showed that the influence of competition was more pronounced at lower WTS dosages. Column test with diluted (100 times) real electroplating wastewater showed complete removal of copper up to 100 bed volumes while chromium removal ranged between 78-92%. Other metals which were present in lower concentrations were also effectively removed. Mass balance for copper and chromium showed that the WTS media had Cu(II) and Cr(VI) sorption capacities of about 1.7 and 3.5 mg/g of dried sludge, respectively. The study thus indicates that WTS has the potential to be used as a filtration/adsorption medium for removal of metals from metal-bearing wastewaters.

Hexavalent chromium (CrVI) was fed to one day old chicks of Gallus domesticus in the form of different concentrations (250 and 500 mg/kg feed) of potassium dichromate mixed with the feed, ad libitum, for 32 weeks. After 20 weeks of feeding, the total body weight was higher in the low dose (260 mg/kg (feed) group and lower in the high dose (500 mg/kg feed) group, as compared with the control chicks. After 32 weeks of feeding, however, the total body weight was significantly decreased in both the treated groups. Egg laying was enhanced. Fertility remained unaffected, whereas hatchability was considerably decreased after CrVI-treatment. The egg shell thickness increased significantly (13%). Cr was deposited in a dose dependent manner in the liver and lungs. Some structural derangements in liver were also noted in treated chicks. The results of this study i.e., rapid ageing, excessive Cr deposition, decreased hatchability and hepatotoxicity indicate toxic effects of CrVI.

6가 크롬은 매우 유독한 중금속이면서도 토양 및 지하수의 주요 오염물질 중 하나이다. 따라서 6가 크롬을 함유한 폐수는 자연계에 방류되기 전에 반드시 처리되어야 한다. 이를 위한 한 가지 방법으로 자연계에 풍부하게 존재하는 바이오매스를 이용해 6가 크롬을 제거하는 기술이 최근에 주목을 받고 있다. 즉, 이번 총론에서는 바이오매스에 의한 6가 크롬의 제거에 대한 현재까지의 연구 상황 및 향후의 연구 방향에 대해 살펴 보았다. 특히, 이 분야에서 종종 실수하고 있는 부분에 대해 상세히 다룸으로써 관련 연구자들에게 도움을 주고자 하였다.

The production of reactive oxygen species on addition of hexavalent chromium (potassium dichromate, $K_2Cr_2O_7$ ) to lung cells in culture was studied using flow cytometer analysis. A Coulter Epics Profile flow cytometer was used to detect the formation of reactive oxygen species after $K_2Cr_2O_7$ was added to A549 cells grown to confluence. The cells were loaded with the dye, 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate, after which cellular esterases removed the acetate groups and the dye was trapped intracellularly. Reactive oxygen species oxidized the dye, with resultant fluorescence. Increased doses of Cr(VI) caused increasing fluorescence (10-fold higher than background at 200 gM). Addition of Cr(III) compounds, as the picolinate or chloride, caused no increased fluorescence. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic studies indicated that three (as yet unidentified) spectral "signals" of the free radical type were formed on addition of 20, 50, 100 and 200 gM Cr(VI) to the A549 cells in suspension. Two other EPR 'signals" with the characteristics of Cr(V) entities were seen at field values lower than the standard free radical value. radical value.

Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the toxic effects of chromium (VI) on the placental function and reproduction in rats. For the study, the placental prolactin-growth hormone (PRL-GH) gene expression, placental trophoblast cell differentiation and reproductive data were analyzed. Methods : The pregnancies of F344 Fisher rats were checked by the presence of a copulatory plug or sperm in the vaginal smear, which was defined as day 0 of the pregnancy. Pregnant rats were divided into the three groups. The control group was given tap water (chromium level < 0.001 ppm) and the remaining groups were given 250 or 750 ppm of chromium (VI) [as potassium dichromate], from day 7 to 19 of the pregnancy. Rats were sacrificed at days 11 and 20 of pregnancy. The mRNA levels of PRL-GH and Pit-1a and b isotype genes were analyzed by Northern blot hybridization and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The hormonal concentration was analyzed by radioimmunoassay, and the differentiation of placental trophoblast cells were observed by histochemical studies. Reproductive data, such as placental and fetal weights, pregnancy period, and litter size, were surveyed at day 20 of pregnancy and after birth. A statistical analysis was carried out using the SAS program (version 8.1). Results : The mRNA levels of the prolactin-growth hormone (PRL-GH) family of genes were dose dependently reduced by chromium exposure. The mRNA levels of Pit-1a and b isotype genes that induce the expression of the PRL-GH family of genes were also reduced by chromium exposure. The PRL-GH hormonal concentration in the rat placenta, fetus and maternal blood were decreased by chromium exposure. In the middle stage of pregnancy (day 11), a high dose of chromium suppressed the differentiation of spongiotrophoblast cells that secret the PRLGH hormones. In the last stage of pregnancy (day 20), a high dose of chromium induced apoptosis of placental cells. Reproductive data, such as placental and fetal weights, litter size, were reduced, but the pregnancy period was extended in the group exposed to chromium compared with the controls. Conclusion : Chromium (VI) disrupts the ordered functions of the placenta, which leads to reproductive disorders in rats.
