유기탄소와 Cr(VI)와의 반응을 연구하여 위하여 컬럼 실험을 실시하였다. 컬럼 실험은 거름토의 유기탄소와 수용액 속의 Cr(VI)와의 반응 후 시간별로 채취한 컬럼의 유출수와 반응 후 컬럼에 남은 고체물질에 대하여 화학분석과 SEM 관찰을 실시하였다. 컬럼에 공급된 Cr(VI)은 초기 유출수에서는 검출되지 않다가 약 8 PV (pore volume) 후 급격한 농도 증가를 보이며 공급수의 농도(20 mg/kg)까지 높아져 본 실험 조건에서 초기에 유기탄소와 Cr(VI)과의 반응에 의하여 일정 기간 동안 제거됨을 보인다. 전반적으로 유출수에서 측정된 양이온과 음이온의 농도는 $PO_4$를 제외하고 초기에 증가하였다가 시간이 지나면서 감소하는 경향을 보인다. 대부분의 이온들이 공급수에는 검출되진 않았거나 매우 낮은 농도임을 감안하면 이 이온들은 주로 유기탄소에서 유출된 것으로 판단된다. SEM 관찰결과 Cr은 유기탄소 표면에 Fe와 함께 공침되었음을 보이고 일부 침전물에 Mn, Ni, Co 등과 같은 금속들이 함께 함유되어있음을 보여준다. 이는 유기탄소 표면의 환원환경에서 Cr(VI)가 환원이 되어 $Cr(OH)_3$로 침전되면서 $Fe(OH)_3$와 같이 공침하였음을 보여주며 Fe의 존재가 Cr의 침전에 있어서 매우 중요함을 지시한다. 추후 용해성 Fe와 Mn과 같은 원소들이 더 이상 용출되지 않으면 Cr(VI)는 더 이상 침전 반응으로 제거되지 않는다. 다른 이온들과 달리 $PO_4$의 경우 초기 유출수에서 감소를 보이고 추후에 농도가 증가하는데 이는 유기탄소에 포함되어 있던 $PO_4$가 유출된 후에 Cr과 Fe의 침전물에 효과적으로 흡착이 되고 침전물이 더 이상 생성되지 않게 되면 원래 유기탄소로부터 용해되어 나온 $PO_4$의 농도로 회귀되어 일정한 값을 보이는 것으로 생각된다.

순환여과식 어류 양식 시설에서 호기성 미생물의 질산화 작용에 의하여 암모니아는 질산염으로 산화되어 축적되며 이를 제거하기 위하여 협기성 미생물을 이용한 탈질산화 과정을 많이 이용하고 있다. 이 과정에서 혐기성 미생물에 의한 탈질산화 효율은 외부 탄소원의 종류, 수리학적 체류시간(hydraulic retention time, HRT) 및 외부 탄소원 농도에 대한 수중 질산염의 농도비율 ($COD/NO_3^-N$, C;N)에 따라 달라진다. 따라서 우리 나라 순환여과식 양식장에서 일반적으로 이용되고 있는 선라이트 골판을 여과 재료로 한 침지식 여과조를 탈질 여과조로 이용하여 적정 유기 탄소원 제거 조건을 구명하기 위해 질산염의 농도를 순환여과식 양어장의 일반적인 농도인 $20.0mg/\ell$로 고정하고 외부 탄소원으로 메탄올과 글루코스를 사용하여 HRT와 C:N 비율 변화에 따른 적정 제거 조건을 알아보았다. 외부 탄소원의 종류에 따른 질산성질소의 제거 효율은 어떤 실험 조건에서도 메탄올이 글루코스보다 높게 나왔으며 HRT의 경우 글루코스와 메탄올 어느 쪽도 HRT 4시간 보다 8시간에서 효율이 좋았다. (P<0.05). HRT 8시간에서 C:N의 비율 3,4,5,6 중에서 5까지는 효율이 증가하여 글루코스의 경우 최대 제거 효율은 76.5%였고 일간 제거속도는 $223.5 g/m^2/day$였다. 그러나 외부 탄소원으로 메탄올을 사용할 경우 C:N 비율이 6으로 증가하면 효율이 감소되었다. HRT가 4시간일 경우 일간제거속도는 C:N 비율 5의 조건에서 메탄올이 $355.6g/m^2/day$로 가장 높았으나 배출수에 포함된 유기물 농도가 $40.9 mg/\ell$로 양어 용수에는 부적당하였다. 적정 제거 조건으로 생각되어지는 HRT 8시간, C:N 비율 5, 유기탄소원으로 메탄올을 사용하여 유입수의 질산성질소 농도를 $40.9 mg/\ell$ 로 높일 때 일간 제거속도는 질산성질소 농도가 20.6 mg/\ell$일 때 보다 2.2배가 증가하였다. 또한 배출수의 질산성질소 농도도 $5.6 mg/\ell$로 나타나 질산성질소의 일간제거속도는 높아졌으나 C:N 비율 5를 맞추기 위한 메탄올의 농도 증가로 인하여 배출수의 메탄올 농도가 $71.3 mg/\ell$로 증가하여 양식 dydt로는 부적당하였다. 따라서 선라이트 골판을 이용한 침지식 탈질조의 최적 운전 조건은 HRT 8시간, C:N 비율 5및 외부 탄소원으로 메탄올을 이용하는 것이 가장 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. 유입수의 질선성질소 농도가 증가하면서 질산성질소의 일간제거속도도 함께 증가하였고 이에 따라 수중 pH도 8.0에서 8.8까지 점차적으로 증가하는 결과를 나타내었다.

Recombinant Escherichia coli strain harboring the ${\lambda}$pR-pL promotor and heterologus poly-${\beta}$-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) biosynthesis genes was used to investigate the effect of culture conditions on the efficient PHB production. The expression of phb genes was induced by a temperature upshift from $33^{\circ}C\;to\;38^{\circ}C$. The protein expression levels were measured by using two-dimensional electrophoresis, and the enzyme activities were also measured to understand the effect of culture temperature, carbon sources, and the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration on the metabolic regulations. AcetylCoA is an important branch point for PHB production. The decrease in DO concentration lowers the citrate synthase activity, thus limit the flux toward the TCA cycle, and increase the flux for PHB production. Since NADPH is required for PHB production, the PHB production does not continue leading the overproduction of acetate and lac-tate. Based on these observations, a new operation was considered where DO concentration was changed periodically, and it was verified its usefulness for the efficient PHB production by experiments.

The sediment samples were collected from Seonakdong River and were analyzed for sulfide species such Acid Volatile Sulfide(AVS) and Elemental Sulfur(ES) and Chromium Reducible Sulfide(CRS). Then characteristics of the formation of sulfide species were investigated for six selected samples. Finally the relationship between environmental factors and sulfate reducing rate(SRR) was investigated using two selected samples. Concentrations of AVS and CRS were relatively high, which suggests that organics input to the sediments has been continued until recently and that potential of heavy metals leaching from the sediments is low. SRR in the sediments was closely related to fraction of fine particles(silt+clay) and also to dissolved organic carbon content of the sediment(DOCsed). The dependences of environmental factors such as organic content, temperature, sulfate concentration on the SRR was relatively strong in the selected experiments conducted with the samples from Noksan gate and Daejeo gate samples. The environmental factor dependencies were stronger in the Noksan gate samples than in the Daejeo gate samples, which is probably due to higher surface area of the Noksan gate sediments.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the change of molecular weight (MW) profiles in natural organic matter (NOM) through various treatment processes (coagulation, granular activated carbon (GAC), and ozonation) using high performance size exclusion chromatography based on ultraviolet absorbance and dissolved organic detection (HPSEC-UVA-DOC). In addition, relationships between MW profiles and disinfection by-production (DBP) formation were evaluated. Each treatment process results in significant different effects on NOM profiles. Coagulation is effective to remove high molecular weight NOM, while GAC is effective to remove low molecular weight NOM. Ozonation removes only a small portion of NOM, while it induces a significant reduction of UV absorbance due to breakdown of the aromatic groups. All treated waters are chlorinated, and chlorination DBPs such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) are measured under formation potential conditions. Both THM and HAA formation potentials were significantly reduced through the coagulation process. GAC was more effective to reduce THM formation compared to HAA formation reduction, while ozonation showed significant HAA reduction compared to THM reduction.

Coupled carbon-13 relaxation study of 1,1,1-trichloroethane dissolved in DMSO has been performed to gain some crucial insight into the dynamics of methyl group in this compound. For this purpose the relaxation behaviors of several observable magnetization modes for CH3 spin system generated by various perturbing pulse sequences have been carefully investigated and various dipolar spectral densities were estimated by nonlinear numerical fittings of the observed data with the relaxation curves, which were then employed to determine the three principal values for the diffusion tensor for end-over-end molecular rotation as well as internal rotational parameters of methyl group. In this process we could uniquely determine two correlation times $\tau$int(1) and $\tau$int(2) which give valuable information on internal rotor dynamics and thus obtained data were interpreted on the basis of various proposed models for internal rotation. compound undergoes three-fold jumps at 25$^{\circ}$. The fact that the ratio $\tau$int(1) / $\tau$int(2) is close to 1.0 may be interpreted as indicating that methyl group in this C.

Spatial variations of physicochemical and microbiological variables were examined to understand spatial heterogeneity of those variables in intertidal flat. Variograms were constructed for understanding spatial autocorrelations of variables by a geostatistical analysis and spatial correlations between two variables were evaluated by applications of a Cross-Mantel test with a Monte Carlo procedure (with 999 permutations). Water content, organic matter content, pH, nitrate, sulfate, chloride, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), four extracellular enzyme activities (${\beta}-glucosidase$, N-acetyl-glucosaminidase, phosphatase, arylsulfatase), and bacterial diversity in soil were measured along a transect perpendicular to shore line. Most variables showed strong spatial autocorrelation or no spatial structure except for DOC. It was suggested that complex interactions between physicochemical and microbiological properties in sediment might controls DOC. Intertidal flat sediment appeared to be spatially heterogeneous. Bacterial diversity was found to be spatially correlated with enzyme activities. Chloride and sulfate were spatially correlated with microbial properties indicating that salinity in coastal environment would influence spatial distributions of decomposition capacities mediated by microorganisms. Overall, it was suggested that considerations on the spatial distributions of physicochemical and microbiological properties in intertidal flat sediment should be included when sampling scheme is designed for decomposition processes in intertidal flat sediment.

[ $C_{60}$ ] molecule, the Buckminsterfullerene, has generated great interest because of its unique molecular structure and of superconductivity exhibited in its alkali-doped solids. We have investigated the molecular stacking and crystal structure of $C_{60}$ thin crystals formed on amorphous carbon film. The $C_{60}$ powder which was chromatographically purified was dissolved in benzene. The thin crystals of $C_{60}$ were observed with a 300 keV transmission electron microscope. Electron diffraction analysis and direct imaging of its molecular stacking were carried out. It was found from this work that the molecules of $10.0{\AA}$ diameter are arrayed hexagonally on substrate surface and $8.7{\AA}$ lattice planes are quite often found in several types of ED patterns, which can never be explained with a fcc model. Therefore the structure of $C_{60}$ thin crystals is hcp, although we cannot fully exclude the possibility of co-existence of hcp and fcc.

Triphenylmethane계 염료 탈색균인 E. cloacae MG 82를 이용한 crystal violet의 탈색 특성을 조사하였다. 배지내의 용존산소의 양이 많을수록 crystal violet의 탈색과 E. cloacae MG82의 균생장이 좋았다. 균생장 중기의 세포 군에서 crystal violet의 탈색능이 가장 활발하였고 염료의 농도가 높아짐에 따라 균생장과 탈색능이 억제되었으며, 균생장이 가능한 crystal violet의 최고 농도치는 375 $\mu$M이었다. E. cloacae MG82는 crystal violet을 유일한 탄소원으로 이용할 수 없었고, 균생장 및 염료의 탈색에 또 다른 에너지원을 필요로 하였다.

A novel self-humidifying composite membrane for the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) at low humidity condition was developed. The Pt/$TiO_2$ catalyst particles were synthesized via supercritical impregnation methods. Pt precursor was dissolved in supercritical carbon dioxide and impregnated onto $TiO_2$ particles. Pt precursors were platinum(II) acetylacetonate, Dimethyl(1,5-cyclooctadiene) platinum(II) and we controlled the ratio of Pt to $TiO_2$. The impregnated Pt precursor was converted to $TiO_2$ supported Pt nanoparticle under various reducing conditions. Pt/$TiO_2$ catalyst particles were dispersed uniformly into the Nafion solution, and then Pt/$TiO_2$/Nafion composite membrane was prepared using solution-cast method. The self-humidifying composite membrane could minimize membrane conductivity loss under dry conditions due to the presence of catalyst and hydrophilic Pt/$TiO_2$ particles. To optimize the performance of MEA, amount of ionomer loading was controlled. And mixed catalysts were used. The cell performance of MEA was obviously improved under dry conditions at $65^{\circ}C$.
