In this study, the effects of reclaimed wastewater irrigation on the concentration of heavy metals such as lead, zinc, cadmium, and copper in soil and vegetables were investigated by monitoring an experimental area irrigated with reclaimed wastewater. Three treatments and three replications on $10{\times}2$-m plots were installed and heavy metal concentrations in soil and vegetables were monitored from 2005 to 2007. The treatments applied in this study were groundwater irrigation (control treatment), wastewater irrigation, and irrigation with filtered reclaimed wastewater treated with ultraviolet light. The monitored results showed that the concentrations of Cu, Cd, and Pb in soil during the experimental period were lower than initial soil levels before irrigation, whereas Zn increased in all treatment plots. However, the ranges of Zn, Cu, Cd and Pb in soil were below the soil pollution standards in the Republic of Korea. Heavy metal concentrations in vegetables showed insignificant variations for all treatments.

The biosorption abilities of different parts of waste brown seaweeds and their derivatives to remove heavy metals (Cd, Zn, Pb, Cu, Fe, Ni, Mn) from waste were evaluated. The two parts of waste brown seaweeds (Undaria pinnatifida) were stems and sporophyls, and the brown seaweed derivatives were alginic fibers, active carbon added alginate(AC-alginate) and dealginate. The abilities of the sporophyls to adsorb the heavy metal ions were higher than those of stems, and those of alginates were slightly higher than those of dealginate in single ion solution. With decreasing the size of biosorbents, the velocity and the amount of adsorption increased. The abilities of alginate to remove the heavy metal ions increased in multi-ion solutions by adding active carbon to alginate. The selectivity of these biosorbents(alginate, AC-alginate) to lead ion was highest and to manganese ion was lowest.

Over the last two decades, quantum dot (QD) solar cells have attracted much attention due to the unique properties of QDs, including band gap tunability, slow hot electron cooling, and multiple exiton generation effect. However, most of the QDs employed in photovoltaic devices contain toxic heavy-metals such as cadmium or lead, which may limit the commercial application. Therefore, recently, heavy-metal-free QDs such as Cu-In-S or Cu-In-Se have been developed for application in solar cells. Here, we review the research trends in heavy-metal-free QD solar cells, mainly focusing on Cu-In-Se QD-sensitized solar cells (QDSC).

Waste paper cup was sulfonated to be used as ion exchanger. Removal characteristic of copper and lead ion by prepared ion exchanger was investigated. The sulfonation was conformed by the high intensity band of $SO_3H$ group around 1100~$1160cm^{-1}$. The synthesized ion exchanger had greater removal ability for copper and lead ion than the original waste paper cup. Ion exchange system reached the final equilibrium plateau within 30min. The maximum removal capacities $q_{max}$ were calculated as 9.79mg/g fur copper and 15.95mg/g for lead, respectively. The affinity of lead based on a weight was higher than that of copper. The ion exchange phenomena appeared to follow a typical Freundlich isotherm.

To examine the potency of biosorbent, the adsorption capacity of Pseudomonas cepacia H42 isolated from fresh water plant root was compared with Saccharomyces cerevisiae SEY2102 on bases of biomass, concentration of heavy metal, presence of light metals, immobilized cell, and ion exchange resin. P. cepacia H42 biomass of 0.05-0.5 g/L increased adsorption and above 1.0 g/L of yeast biomass was the most effective in adsorption. By applying the same amount of biomass, lead showed the highest adsorption on two strains and the adsorption strength was lead>copper>cadmium on both strains. The high heavy metal concentration induced the high adsorption capacity. P. cepacia H42 adsorption was in the order of copper>lead>cadmium and lead>copper>cadmium by yeast in 10 mg/L. Both strain showed same adsorption strength in the order of lead>copper>cadmium in 100 mg/L and 1000 mg/L. The adsorption capacity of both yeast and P. cepacia H42 was decreased in the presence of light metals and the order of cadmium>copper>lead. $Mg^{2+}$ induced the least adsorption while $Na^+$ induced highest adsorption. The adsorption capacity of immobilized yeast and P. cepacia H42 was detected between 200-400 mL in flow volume and decreased in the presence of light metals. Ion exchange containing light metals caused 30-50% adsorption reduction on both strains.

중금속오염폐수처리에 미생물 이용 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 중금속에 강한 내성을 지님과 동시에 균체내 중금속 축적능력이 우수한 중금속 내성균을 분리하여 온도, pH, 및 균체 전배양시간 등과 같은 외부 요인에 따른 균체내 중금속 축적변화를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 중금속화하물 종류에 따른 균체내 중금속 축적량은 $-nitrate(NO_3)$ group을 가진 중금속화합물에서 약간 높았으나 화합물 종류에 따라서 큰 차이는 없었다. 균체 전배양시간에 따른 중금속 축적은 24시간 전배양한 균체에서 높게 나타났으나 전반적으로 전배양시간에 따라서 큰 차이는 없었다. 중금속 내성균의 균체내 중금속 축적은 온도, pH등 외부환경요인에 영향을 받았으며, 중금속 내성균의 중금속 최적축적 온도는 전반적으로 $20{\sim}37^{\circ}C$ 범위였고, 중금속 최적축적 pH는 전반적으로 $6{\sim}8$ 범위였다. 중금속을 처리한 용액중 중금속 내성균의 균체량을 증가시킬수록 균체내 축적된 총 중금속양은 증가되었으나 균체 단위 g당 중금속 축적량은 감소되었으며, 균체량의 증가에 비례해서 중금속 축적량이 증가되지는 않았다.

이 연구는 중금속 오염물질의 효과적인 정화를 위하여 배수재에 흡착가능한 오염물질의 양을 평가하는 것이고 배수재의 오염 물질 흡착능은 배수재 필터에 도포된 반응물질의 오염물질 흡착시험을 수행하고, 등온흡착모델과 비교하여 평가하였다. 시험에서 사용한 반응물질은 천연 제올라이트이고, 오염물질은 구리, 납, 카드뮴이다. 오염물질별로 초기농도 변화에 따른 흡착량을 Freundlich와 Langmuir흡착등온모델과 비교하였다. 배수재 표면에 도포된 반응물질 성분분석결과 Si, Al, O의 성분이 각각 약 28%, 11%, 48% 포함되어 있어 배수재 표면에 도포된 물질이 중금속(Cu, Pb, Cd) 오염물질 흡착을 위한 반응물질인 제올라이트의 성분으로 나타났다. 반응물질인 제올라이트의 중금속 흡착반응속도는 납, 구리, 카드뮴의 순으로 나타났다. 흡착물질의 성능평가 중 중요한 요소가 반응속도이고, 최대흡착량과 반응속도의 관계에서 제올라이트를 반응물질로 사용할 경우, 지반내 복합중금속의 제거 순서를 결정하는 설계 요소로 활용할 수 있다. 즉, 납은 구리에 비해 최대흡착량은 작지만 상대적으로 반응속도가 빠르므로 1차적으로 제거가 가능하며, 납의 제거 후 구리의 제거가 가능하다. 카드뮴의 경우 다른 중금속의 제거 후 마지막으로 제거가 가능한 것으로 분석되었다.

담수식물 수초의 근계 에 부착하는 미생물의 자정력을 탐색하기 위하여 분리된 세균인 Pseudomonas cepacia KH410 을 대상으로 중금속인 납과 구리, 카드뮴이온에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 이 균의 최적 배지로 Nutrient기본배지를 사용하였고 최대 균체 생산을 위하여 yeast extract, soytone을 각각 1%씩 첨가하였고, NaCl은 0.5%, 초기 pH는 7.0 그리고 배양은 $28^{\circ}C$에서 24 시간 진탕 배양하였다. 이러한 배양 조건하에서 얻어진 최대 균체는 2.72 g DCW/ι-medium이었다. 각각의 100 mg/ι중금속 첨가에 따른 균체 생산은 납은 1.98 g/ι, 구리는 1.58g/ι, 카드뮴은 0.2 g/ι로 세가지 중금속 첨가에 따른 균체 생산이 낮아졌으며 중금속별로 균체 생산량에 차이를 나타내었다. 균의 생육에 영향을 미치는 각각의 중금속 농도를 비교하여 본 결과 최저생육저지농도 (MIC)가 납은 1.3 mM, 구리는 0.8 mM, 카드윰은 0.4 mM로써 카드윰이 균체에 미치는 영향이 가장 높게 나타났다. 동일 농도인 100 mg/ι용액 내에서의 세가지 중금속에 대한 균체의 변화는 균체끼리의 응집 현상이 광학현미경하에서 1 일에서 4 일 사이에 관찰되었고 전자현미경하에서는 각각의 중금속을 10분 노출시킨 후부터 세포벽 쪽으로 이온들이 이동되는 것이 관찰되었고 2 시간 후에는 세포외피, 원형질분리 및 세포내부로 침적된 양상이 각각 다르게 나타났으며 균체의 손상은 카드뮴이 가장 높았고 그 정도는 카드뮴>구리>납의 순이었다.

This study was conducted to determine the contents of heavy metal in commercial herbal medicines. The monitoring of lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury was carried out on 100 samples with 10 kinds of herbal medicines. The contents of heavy metal were measured by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and mercury analyzer. The mean values of heavy metal contents for herbal medicines were Pb 1.87 mg/kg, As 0.39 mg/kg, Cd 0.26 mg/kg and Hg 0.021 mg/kg. Of the total samples, 19 samples (19%, 4 types) were violated the KFDA regulatory guidance of heavy metal in herbal medicines (9 samples on Pb, 10 samples on Cd). Among these 19 unsuitable samples, 16 samples were domestic and 3 samples were imported. Therefore, we need continuously monitoring to ensure confidence and safety for these herbal medicines.

Application of phytoremediation in the polluted area to remove undesirable materials is a complex and difficult subject without detailed investigation and experimentation. We investigated the accumulation patterns of cadmium and lead in plants naturally grown, the bioavailability of plants to accumulate these toxic metals and the responses of P. thunbergii to cadmium and lead. The soil samples contained detectable lead (<17.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/g), whereas cadmium was not detected in the soils of study area. The whole body of Persicaria thunbergii contained detectable lead (<320.8$\mu\textrm{g}$/g) but cadmium was detected only in the stem (<7.4$\mu\textrm{g}$/g) and root (<10.4$\mu\textrm{g}$/g) of P. thunbergii. Cadmium was not detected in Trapa japonica and Nymphoides peltata, whereas lead was detected in T. japonica (<323.7$\mu\textrm{g}$/g) and N. peltata (<177.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/g). Correlation coefficient between lead content in soil and in these plant samples represented positive correlation. The total content of lead in each plant sample increased in the order of N.peltata$\leq$P.thunbergii
