2018년 가을철(9월 5일~10일, 6일간) 수도권대기오염집중측정소에서 미세먼지와 함께 블랙카본(BC, black carbon)의 농도 및 코팅두께를 파악하였다. 가을철 $PM_{10}$은 $23{\pm}12.6{\mu}g/m^3$, $PM_{2.5}$는 $12{\pm}5.8{\mu}g/m^3$으로 다른 계절보다 낮은 수준이었다. Aethalometer로 측정한 BC는 $0.73{\pm}0.43{\mu}g/m^3$, SOCEC로 측정한 EC(elemental carbon)는 $0.34{\pm}0.18{\mu}g/m^3$, SP2로 측정한 rBC(refractory-BC)는 $0.32{\pm}0.18{\mu}g/m^3$으로 측정방법에 따른 농도차이를 보여주었으나, 시계열 분포와 일 변동은 동일한 경향을 나타내었다. 수도권대기오염집중측정소에서 측정된 블랙카본은 자동차와 같은 일차오염원의 영향을 강하게 받았고, 주간과 야간의 출퇴근으로 인한 교통 혼잡 시간대에 높은 특징을 보였다. SP2로 측정한 $PM_{1.0}$ 단일입자에 대한 블랙카본의 개수농도는 84 nm에서 최고치로 관측되었으며, 코팅두께는 43 nm로 산정되었다. 특히 블랙카본 입자의 직경이 작을수록 코팅두께는 증가하였고, 입자의 직경이 증가할수록 코팅두께는 작아지는 특성을 나타내었다.

In this study, real-time absorption coefficients of carbonaceous species in $PM_{2.5}$ was observed using a dual-spot 7-wavelength Aethalometer between November 1, 2016 and December 31, 2017 at an urban site of Gwangju. In addition, 24-hr integrated $PM_{2.5}$ samples were simultaneously collected at the same site and analyzed for organic carbon and elemental carbon (OC and EC) using the thermal-optical transmittance protocol. A main objective of this study was to estimate mass absorption cross section (MAC) values of black carbon (BC) particles at the study site using the linear regression between aethalometer-based absorption coefficient and filter-based EC concentration. BC particles observed at 880 nm is mainly emitted from combustion of fossil fuels, and their concentration is typically reported as equivalent BC concentration (eBC). eBC concentration calculated using MAC value of $7.77m^2/g$ at wavelength of 880 nm, which was proposed by a manufacturer, ranged from 0.3 to $7.4{\mu}g/m^3$ with an average value of $1.9{\pm}1.2{\mu}g/m^3$, accounting for 7.3% (1.5~20.9%) of $PM_{2.5}$. The relationship between aerosol absorption coefficients at 880 nm and EC concentrations provided BC MAC value of $15.2m^2/g$, ranging from 11.4 to $16.2m^2/g$. The eBC concentrations calculated using the estimated MAC of $15.2m^2/g$ were significantly lower than those reported originally from aethalometer, and ranged from 0.2 to $3.8{\mu}g/m^3$, with an average of $1.0{\pm}0.6{\mu}g/m^3$, accounting for 3.7% of $PM_{2.5}$ (0.8~10.7%). Result from this study suggests that if the MAC value recommended by the manufacturer is applied to calculate the equivalent BC concentration and radiative forcing due to BC absorption, they would result in significant errors, implying investigation of an unique MAC value of BC particles at a study site.

퇴적물의 지화학적 특성을 이해하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 남해 대륙붕에서 채취 된 표층퇴적물에서 9개 금속(Al, Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Zn, Co, Cr, Pb)의 함량을 측정하였 고, 선정된 일부 퇴적물에 대해서는 퇴적물내 금속의 화학적 존재형태에 관한 분석을 실시하였다. 퇴적물 중의 금속 함량은 전반적으로 퇴적물의 입도와 밀접한 관련성을 보여 연안해역에서 외해로 갈수록 점차 감소하는 영향을 나타내었다. 한편, 망간과 코 발트의 경우에는 타 금속에 비해 입도와의 관련성덜 뚜렷하였으며, 이것은 이들 두 금 속의 퇴적물내 존재형태별 구성이 타 금속들과 다른 현상에 기인한다. 특히 납의 함량 은 지역적인 차이를 볼 수 있을 만큼 공간적으로 증가, 혹은 감소의 경향이 뚜렷하지 않아 퇴적물내 유입경로가 나머지 금속과 다름을 시사한다. 각 금속의 화학적 존재형 태별 함량은 망간을 제외한 모든 금속에서 잔류부분이 전체함량의 평균 50% 이상을 차 지하여, 미세 광물격자 형태의 존재가 가장 중요한 것으로 나타났다. 잔류부분 외에 구리, 아연, 망간 및 철은 산화물부분에서 다음으로 높은 각각 34.4%, 23.1%, 15.5%, 13.7%의 함량을 보였으며, 카드뮴과 망간, 코발트 및 니켈은 퇴적물의 탄산염부분에서 각각 42.8%, 40.3%, 30.6%, 19.0%로 분포하여 원소별로 다른 존재형태별 함량을 보였 다. 따라서 연구지역 퇴적물내 금속의 분포는 세립한 입도의 광물성분 외에 해수중에 서 의 침전이나 금속산화물과의 공침 등에 의한 특정 지화학 물질내 존재가능성의 차 이에 따라 크게 조절되는 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, real time measurements of particle number size distribution in urban Gwangju, coastal Taean, and industrial Yeosu in Korea were conducted in 2008 to understand the occurrence of ultrafine particle (UFP) (<100 nm) events, the variation of its concentration among different sampling sites, and UFP formation pathways. Also, to investigate seasonal and long-term variation of the UFP number concentration, data were collected for the period of 5 years (2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, and 2012) in urban Gwangju. Photochemical and combustion events were found to be responsible for the formation of UFP in the urban Gwangju site, whereas only photochemical event led to the formation of UFP in the coastal Taean site. The highest UFP concentration was found in industrial Yeosu (the average UFP number fractions were 79, 59 and 58% in Yeosu, Gwangju, and Taean, respectively), suggesting that high amount of gas pollutants (e.g., $NO_2$, $SO_2$, and volatile organic carbon (VOC)) emitted from industries and their photochemical reaction contributed for the elevated UFP concentration in the industrial Yeosu site. The UFP fraction also showed a seasonal variation with the peak value in spring (61.5, 54.5, 50.5, and 40.7% in spring, fall, summer, and winter, respectively) at urban Gwangju. Annual average UFP number concentrations in urban Gwangju were $5.53{\times}10^3\;cm^{-3}$, $4.68{\times}10^3\;cm^{-3}$, $5.32{\times}10^3\;cm^{-3}$, $3.99{\times}10^3\;cm^{-3}$, and $2.16{\times}10^3\;cm^{-3}$ in the year 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. Comparison of the annual average UFP number concentration with urban sites in other countries showed that the UFP concentrations of the Korean sites were lower than those in other urban cities, probably due to lower source strength in the current site. TEM/EDS analysis for the size-selected UFPs showed that the UFPs were classified into various types having different chemical species. Carbonaceous particles were observed in both combustion (soot and organics) and photochemical events (sulfate and organics). In the photochemical event, an internal mixture of organic species and ammonium sulfate/bisulfate was identified. Also, internal mixtures of aged Na-rich and organic species, aged Ca-rich particles, and doughnut shaped K-containing particles with elemental composition of a strong C with minor O, S, and K-likely to be originated from biomass burning nearby agricultural area, were observed. In addition, fly ash particles were also observed in the combustion event, not in the photochemical event.

치과용 아말감은 수은, 구리, 아연, 은과 같은 여러 가지 금속으로 이루어진 합금으로 구성되었다. 아말감은 내구성과 진료 시 사용의 편리성과 경제적인 이유로 치과영역에서 가장 흔히 사용되고 효과적인 수복물질로 이용되었다. 하지만 수복물질로서의 대중성과 긴 역사에도 불구하고 아말감에 포함된 수은의 노출로부터 가져올 수 있는 잠재적 부작용 또는 합병증에 대한 염려로 논란이 계속되고 있다. 특히 어린이들의 경우 수은의 독성에 대한 위험성이 더 높기 때문에 우리는 어린이에게서 치과용 아말감과 요중 수은농도의 관련성에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 대도시 지역 내 두 개 초등학교 1~4학년 재학생을 대상으로 하여 구강검진과 설문조사를 시행하였으며, 구강검진 당일 채취한 소변시료를 이용하여 요중 수은농도를 분석하였다. 결과는 구강 내 아말감 충전치아가 없는 아동과 비교 했을 때 79개 이상, 10개 이상 갖는 아동의 요중 수은농도가 높아지는 상관관계가 나타났다. 결론적으로 어린이의 구강 내 아말감 충전치면수와 요중 수은농도는 관련성이 있는 것으로 사료된다.

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.

A simple and reliable method has been developed to selectively separate and concentrate trace amounts of Fe(III) ions from water and food samples by using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. A new reagent, 5-hydroxy-4-ethyl-5,6-di-pyridin-2-yl-4,5-dihydro-2H-[1,2,4] triazine-3-thione, was synthesized and characterized by using FT-IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Effects of pH, concentration and volume of elution solution, sample flow rate, sample volume and interfering ions on the recovery of Fe(III) were investigated. The optimum pH was found to be 5. Eluent for quantitative elution was 10 mL of 2 M HCl. The preconcentration factor of the method, detection limit (3s/b, ${\mu}gL^{-1}$) and relative standard deviation values were found to be 25, 4.59 and 1%, respectively. In order to verify the accuracy of the method, two certified reference materials (TMDA 54.4 lake water and SRM 1568a rice flour) were analyzed. The results obtained were in good agreement with the certified values. The method was successfully applied to the determination of Fe(III) ions in water and food samples.

Gasification of biomass produces syngas containing CO, $H_2$ and/or $CH_4$, which can then be converted into energy or value-added fuels. One of key issues for efficient gasification is to minimize tar concentration in the syngas for use in a final conversion device such as gas engine. This study investigated the decomposition of primary tar by catalytic cracking using char as catalyst, of which the feature can be integrated into a fixed bed gasifier design. The pyrolysis vapor containing tar from pyrolysis of wood at $500^{\circ}C$ was passed through a reactor filled with or without char at $800^{\circ}C$ for a residence time of 1, 3 or 5 sec. Then, the condensable vapor (water and tar) and gases were analyzed for the yields and elemental composition. Four types of char particles with different microscopic surface area and pore size distribution: wood, paddy straw, palm kernel shell and activated carbon. The results were analyzed for the mass and carbon yields of tar and the composition of product gases to conclude the effects of char types and residence time.

In this work, it was investigated the usability of artificial bee colony (ABC) and genetic algorithm (GA) in modeling adsorption of Co(II) onto drinking water treatment sludge (DWTS). DWTS, obtained as inevitable byproduct at the end of drinking water treatment stages, was used as an adsorbent without any physical or chemical pre-treatment in the adsorption experiments. Firstly, DWTS was characterized employing various analytical procedures such as elemental, FT-IR, SEM-EDS, XRD, XRF and TGA/DTA analysis. Then, adsorption experiments were carried out in a batch system and DWTS's Co(II) removal potential was modelled via ABC and GA methods considering the effects of certain experimental parameters (initial pH, contact time, initial Co(II) concentration, DWTS dosage) called as the input parameters. The accuracy of ABC and GA method was determined and these methods were applied to four different functions: quadratic, exponential, linear and power. Some statistical indices (sum square error, root mean square error, mean absolute error, average relative error, and determination coefficient) were used to evaluate the performance of these models. The ABC and GA method with quadratic forms obtained better prediction. As a result, it was shown ABC and GA can be used optimization of the regression function coefficients in modeling adsorption experiments.
