The ROS-producing potency of chromium compounds of several oxidation states were determined in the H4 cells. $K_2Cr_2O_7$ as Cr (VI), synthetic Cr (V) compounds and Cr (III) as TPP produced high level of ROS. However, ROS values of Cr-picolinate as Cr (III), CrCl$_2$, CrCI$_2$, were almost equal to the control. The effects of physiological antioxidants compounds which react with free radicals were examined for their effects on chromate-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in A549 cells after the addition of $K_2Cr_2O_7$. The compounds used were vitamin C (ascorbate), vitamin E ($\alpha$-tocopherol), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase. The preincubation of ascorbate (200uM) with A549 cells for 20hr resulted in a significant reduction of hexavalent chromate(100uM) induced ROS. However, there is no effects of preincubation of the cells with vitamin E succinate (10 and 20uM, 20hr) on the ROS production. Also, the effects of Cr (VI) on the cell cycle of A549 cells was measured by adding the DNA intercalating agent, propidium iodide. S phase of the cell cycle was increased by the chromium (VI) compounds up to 20uM indicating toxicity or possible mitogenic action of the cell. The shoulder in Go/G1 phase at 20uM Cr (VI) with 24 hr treatment indicates apoptosis.

The toxicity of chromium that is used to impart corrosion resistance to galvanized steel created environmental and health-related concerns and generated a great deal of interest in developing chrome-free treatment coatings. In the present work, organic-inorganic composite coatings were used to coat electrogalvanized steel (EG) sheets for corrosion protection without degrading its weldability property. The new coatings composed of specially modified polyurethane dispersion hybridized with silicate and unique inorganic-organic inhibitors were developed during this work. It was found that about $1{\mu}m$ thickness of coating layer is secure enough in corrosion resistance of flat and formed part even after alkaline degreasing. Overall chemical resistances including fingerprint resistance and paint adhesion property were satisfied with the test specification of Sony technical standard of SS-00260-2002. Therefore, it is concluded that the newly developed chrome-free product can replace the conventional chromated product.

The greatest purpose of chromate treatment is to improve anti-corrosion by stabilizing a metal surface. Because metal surface forms a compound by absorbing oxygen or water in the air by being generally unstable, it is necessary to improve anti-corrosion of the metal by forming the metal surface with a stable film. When considering the economical efficiency and requirements together because the film of the metal surface treated with chromate has good anti-corrosion and the stability also in the air by being compact and strong, Chromate treatment has been used most up to the electronics industry from the auto industry. However, these days, because hexavalent chromium is both a toxic agent to be able to cause cancers and deadly poisonous environmental pollutant, the strong legal controls on its use is being imposed all over the world. Because of this reason, a new anti-corrosion method is being required. Also, by users' various demands, the passivations that have recently been developed require various characteristics such as conductivity, chemical resistance, alkali cleaning resistance as well as anti-corrosion. We could confirm the results such as excellent anti-corrosion compared to chromate, conductivity, chemical resistance and detergent resistance as the result of analysis of various characteristics of the galvannealed sheet steels coated with Cr-Free solution developed in this research.

Austenitic stainless steels generally experience the occurrence of chromium-depleted zones at the boundaries, known as sensitization, caused by the carbide precipitation that takes place due to a welding process or heat treatment. Normally, the depleted zones become the focus of the intense corrosion. In this study, the Cr-free organic/inorganic hybrid solution was developed, and the artificially degraded STS316S and STS347H with the solution-coating investigated the corrosion resistance by salt spray test. Both the OIBD-1 and OIBD-2 solutions improved the corrosion resistance of STS310S and STS347H. The corrosion resistance with the OIBD-1 solution was better than that of OIBD-2 solution. Additionally, Both solutions have been proven excellence in adhesion ability, boiling water resistance and flexibility. However, a problem of rubbing after the boiling was found out to be overcome.

크롬염 안료제조공장 근로자를 대상으로 크롬 폭로와 말초혈액 림프구의 8-OH-dG 농도의 상관성을 직접 관찰함으로써 크롬의 암 발생기전에 산소유리기(oxygen free radical)가 관여하는지 여부와 크롬폭로에 따라 자매염색분체교환 빈도가 증가하는지를 밝힐 목적으로 본 연구를 수행하였다. 안료공장에 1년 이상 근무한 근로자 38명을 대상으로 설문지를 통하여 근무기간, 연령, 성, 크롬 폭로와 관련된 자각적 증상 등을 조사하였으며, 이들의 크롬 폭로 수준을 평가할 수 있는 생물학적 지표로서 혈중 및 크레아티닌 보정 요중 크롬 농도를 측정하였다. 크롬에 의한 생물학적 영향지표로서 말초혈액 림프구로 부터 dG에 대한 8-OH-dG의 몰 농도비를 측정하였으며, 분열 중기의 세포 30개를 관찰하여 세포당 자매염색분체교환 빈도를 계수하여 염색체 46개당 평균 자매 염색분체교환 빈도로 환산하였다. 분석결과 현재 크롬 폭로 수준을 판단하는 생물학적지표로 가장 많이 사용되는 크레아티닌 보정 요중 크롬 농도와 림프구에서의 dG에 대한 8-OH-dG의 물 농도비는 유의한 상관관계(r=0.47, p<0.01)를 보이는 것으로 분석되었으며, 현재의 흡연수준을 보정하고 분석한 결과에서는 상관계수가 증가하는 결과(r=0.62, p<0.05)를 나타내었다. 한편 자매염색분체교환 빈도와 크롬 폭로수준간에는 유의한 상관관계가 관찰되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 크롬의 발암성에 DNA 부가체(adduct)의 형성이 중요한 기전일 수 있다는 기존의 연구결과와 일치하며, 따라서 8-OH-dG는 크롬에 의한 발암성을 예측할 수 있는 생물학적 영향지표로서 활용될 수 있음을 시사한다고 할 수 있다.

Because of the toxicity of hexavelant chromium ion, treatments of metallic surface with chromate compounds to retard corrosion are undesirable for safety control in industrial uses and protection of environment. In this study, we investigated several compounds such as inorganic, organic, and polymer materials in order to sub­stitute the chromate conversion treatment on steel sheet. The corrosion property was investigated in a salt spray tester with 3.5 $wt.{\%}\;NaCI\;at\;35^{\circ}C.$ The results showed that the zirconium/silane/polymer triple coatings on the galvanized steel exhibited a significant retardation of corrosion. Although the multicoating system needs a com­plexed processing, we can confirm a possibility of development of a chromate-free chemical conversion treat­ment for galvanized steel sheet.

The objective was to evaluate method of feeding (free access or intubation), method of slaughter (carbon dioxide gas or barbiturate) and digesta flushing medium (distilled water or physiological saline), in the development of an ileal amino acid digestibility assay for 4 week-old broiler chickens. Three diets were used (commercial (C), semi-synthetic meat-and bone meal (MBM) or wheat (W)). For the coarser C and W diets but not for the MBM diet, feeding method had a significant effect on concentrations of chromium (Cr), nitrogen (N), acid detergent fibre (ADF) and neutral detergent fibre (NDF) in the crop contents at a set time after a meal. There appeared to be a selection of food particles under free-access feeding. For birds receiving the wheat diet there was an effect (p < 0.05) of sampling time after feeding on the concentrations of Cr, N, ADF and NDF/Cr in the crop contents. Flushing ileal digesta with distilled water or saline led to similar apparent ileal N digestibility coefficients. Birds given the MBM diet, and killed by inhalation of $CO_2$, had significantly (p < 0.05) lower apparent ileal N digestibility coefficients (73 versus 80%) than those killed by barbiturate overdose.

도금산업에서 배출되는 폐수는 독성이 강한 시안이온과 시안착화합물, 그리고 다양한 중금속이 함유되어 있다. 이러한 독성이 강한 시안이온 및 시안 착화합물의 처리는 알칼리염소법에 의한 시안 산화처리방법이 가장 일반적으로 잘 알려진 방법이다. 이는 시안이온은 분해 가능하나 시안 착화합물의 처리는 어려운 것으로 알려져 있고, 실제로 산업현장에서 수질환경보전법상 수질배출허용기준(나 지역) 1 mg/L을 초과하는 경우가 빈번하다. 본 연구에서는 앞서 밝힌 아연백법 및 공침공정을 이용한 복합 중금속-시안착염 폐수의 현장처리(I) (아래에서 "현장처리(I)"으로 표시 함)과 비교하여 크롬환원처리 후 Fe/Zn 공침공정을 적용하여 시안착염을 제거하고, 알칼리염소법에 의한 잔류시안 산화처리방법으로 검토하였다. 크롬처리는 6가 크롬을 3가 크롬으로 환원시 환원제로서 NaHSO$_3$를 사용하여 pH 2.0, ORP 250 mV, 반응시간 30 min.에서 99.9% 이상의 최대제거율을 얻을 수 있었다. Fe/Zn 공침에 의한 시안착염 제거실험은 pH 9.5, FeSO$_4$/ZnCl$_2$ 3.0 $\times$ 10$^{-4}$ mol, mixing rpm 240에서 시안이온의 제거효율은 98.24%(잔류시안농도: 4.50 mg/L)로 최대의 결과를 얻었다. 황화물 침전법에 의한 기타중금속(Cu, Ni)처리반응의 조건은 pH 9.0$\sim$10.0, 반응시간 30 min. mixing rpm 240에서 Cu의 경우 Na$_2$S 주입량 3.0 mol에서 99.9%, Ni의 경우 Na$_2$S 4.0 mol에서 93.86%의 최대결과를 얻었다. Fe/Zn공침처리 후 잔류시안농도 4.50 mg/L의 제거를 위하여 알칼리염소법을 실시한 결과 1차 산화반응은 pH 10.0 이상, ORP 350 mV, reaction time 30 min, 2차 산화반응은 pH 8.0 이하, ORP 650 mV, 반응시간 30 min.에서 제거효율 95.33%, 잔류시안농도 0.21 mg/L의 결과를 얻었다. 즉 (1) 크롬환원처리, (2) Fe/Zn 공침공정에 의한 시안착화합물 제거 및 기타 중금속(Cu, Ni) 처리, (3) 알칼리염소법에 의한 잔류시안 산화처리를 실시한 결과(아래에서 "현장처리(II)"로 표시 함) 시안의 잔류농도는 0.21 mg/L로서 수질 및 수생태계보전에 관한 법율의 수질배출허용기준(나 지역) 1 mg/L의 규제치 이하로 처리가 가능하다는 것을 현장 확인할 수 있었고 "현장처리(I)"보다 처리효율적인 측면이나 경제적인 측면에서 모두 양호한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
