This study was performed to summarize application of ${\delta}^{13}C$, ${\delta}^{37}Cl$ and ${\delta}D$ of trichloroethylene (TCE) to studies on environmental forensic field regarding identification of TCE sources and evaluation of contribution of TCE to groundwater using data collected from literatures. ${\delta}^{13}C$, ${\delta}^{37}Cl$ and ${\delta}D$ of TCE give some information regarding sources of TCE because they show specific value according to manufacturing method. Also, TCE do not show a significant isotopic fractionation owing to adsorption and dilution. The isotopic fractionation mainly occurs by biodegradation. In addition, isotopic fractionation factor for TCE is different according to a kind of microorganism participated in biodegradation. However, the isotopic data of TCE have to be applied with chemical compositions of TCE and other hydrogeologic factors because isotopic fractionation of TCE is influenced by various factors.

고체상의 눈 또는 얼음의 안정동위원소 값은 과거의 기후를 복원하고 동위원소 수문분리의 단성분으로 기여율을 계산하는 데에 사용되어 왔다. 융해와 냉동이 일어나면서 눈 또는 얼음과 액체상의 물 사이의 동위원소 분별작용이 일어나는데, 융해는 상대적으로 현장, 실험 및 모델연구를 통해 연구결과가 제시되어 있지만, 냉동에 대해서는 알려진 것이 많지 않다. 본 논평에서는 평형 냉동이 발생할 때 물의 두 안정동위원소인 산소, 수소의 선형관계 및 레일리분별과정을 통해 냉동에 의한 동위원소 분별과정을 고찰하였다. 해양에서 증발한 수증기에 의해 응축된 눈은 기울기 8을 가지는 지구천수선을 따라 움직이지만, 냉동 및 융해가 발생하게 되면 기울기 19.5/3.1~6.3을 가지는 선형관계를 나타내게 된다. 평형냉동 동안 레일리분별과정에 의해 액체상인 물은 열린 계와 닫힌계에서 같은 동위원소변동을 보여 주었다. 눈 또는 얼음이 제거되는 열린 계에서는 남아있는 물의 안정동위원소와 분별계수만큼의 차이를 가지면서 높은 값을 나타내었다. 닫힌 계에서는 초기 액체상의 물의 동위원소 값으로 눈 또는 얼음은 수렴하였다. 냉동에 의한 눈 또는 얼음의 동위원소변동과정은 고기후 연구 및 수문분리의 정확도를 증가시킬 것으로 기대된다.

Stable water vapor isotopes have been utilized as a tracer for studying atmospheric global circulations, climate change and paleoclimate with ice cores. Recently, since laser spectroscopy has been available, water vapor isotopes can be measured more precisely and continuously. Studies of water vapor isotopes have been conducted over the world, but it is the early stage in south Korea. For vapor isotopes study, a cryogenic sampling device for water vapor isotopes has been developed. The cryogenic sampling device consists of the dewar bottle, filled with extremely low temperature material and impinger connected with a vacuum pump. Impinger stays put in the dewar bottle to change the water vapor which passes through the inside of impinger into the solid phase as ice. The fact that water vapor has not sampled completely leads to isotopic fractionation in the impinger. To minimize the isotopic fractionation during sampling water vapor, we have tested the method using a serial connection with two sets of impinger device in the laboratory. We trapped 98.02% of water vapor in the first trap and the isotopic difference of the trapped water vapor between two impinger were about 20‰ and 6‰ for hydrogen and oxygen, respectively. Considering the amount of water vapor trapped in each impinger, the isotopic differences for hydrogen and oxygen were 0.33‰ and 0.06‰, respectively, which is significantly smaller than the precision of isotopic measurements. This work can conclude that there is no significant fractionation during water vapor trapping.

산소 기체($O_2$)를 전기 방전에 의해 완전히 오존($O_3$)으로 만든 후 $30~150^{\circ}C$범위의 온도에서 열분해 시켰다. 열분해 결과 얻어진 산소 기체를 동위원소 질량분석기로 분석하여 동위원소 분할효과를 측정하였다. 낮은 온도에서는 생성된 산소 기체가 오존에 의해 더 가벼우면서 질량에 의존하는 일반적인 동위원소 분할효과를 보이다가, $110^{\circ}C$ 이상의 실험에서는 산소 기체가 더 무거워지면서 $^{17}O$와 $^{18}O$가 $^{16}O$에 비해 같은 양 만큼씩 많아지는 질량과 무관한 분할효과를 나타냈다. 같은 재질(파이렉스)의 반응 관을 이용한 연구들과 그 범위와 경향이 거의 일치하였다. 실험 결과를 이용하여 산소 생성 비율이 일정한 값이 되는 순간의 동위원소 분할 인자들에 대한 값을 최소자승 법을 이용하여 구하였다. 관측된 현상들은 오존의 열분해 메커니즘의 이해와 운석 및 성층권에서의 산소 동위원소의 질량에 무관한 분포에 대한 이해에 중요한 역할을 할 것이다.

물안정동위원소를 이용하여 지하수와 강우 또는 융설이 하천에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 분리하는 방법을 동위원소 수문분리법이라고 하며 지난 30년 동안 사용되어 왔다. 오래된 물(지하수)과 새로운 물(강우 및 융설)의 두 성분이 하천에 영향을 미치는 것으로 가정하고 새로운 물과 오래된 물의 주어진 시간동안의 동위원소를 측정하여 각각의 성분에 대한 비율을 결정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 동위원소 수문분리법을 수계에 적용할 때 새로운 물의 시간적인 안정동위원소분화를 고려하지 않고 새로운 물의 평균값을 이용하였을 때 계통오차가 발생함을 보였다. 이러한 표준오차의 크기는 (1) 새로운 물이 하천에 많이 기여할수록, (2) 사용된 평균값과 분화된 새로운 물의 안정동위원소 값과 차이가 클수록, 마지막으로 (3) 오래된 물과 새로운 물의 안정동위원소 값의 차이가 작을수록 커진다. 집중 호우로 유출이 증가하거나 봄철에 지면이 아직 녹지 않아 융설이 유출이 되는 경우 새로운 물이 하천에 미치는 영향이 커지게 되어 상대오차 역시 증가한다. 이러한 오차를 줄이기 위해서 각각의 새로운 물, 오래된 물, 하천의 안정동위원소를 같은 시간 간격으로 측정하여 새로운 물이 분화되는 것을 고려한 수문분리법을 수행하는 것을 고려하여야 한다.

To observe the changes in isotopic composition (${\delta}^{15}N$) of $NO_3{^-}$ during denitrification, an incubation experiment using soil treated with nitrification inhibitor (2-chloro-6-trichloromethyl-pyridine) under water-saturated condition was conducted for 153 h. The $NO_3-N$ concentration decreased from 73.3 to $20.6mg\;kg^{-1}$ during the incubation period, with denitrification rate constant of $0.00905h^{-1}$, and ${\delta}^{15}N$ values of $NO_3-N$ increased from +0.9 to +25.5‰ with decreasing the $NO_3-N$ concentration. The increase in the ${\delta}^{15}N$ values of $NO_3-N$ is due to kinetic isotope fractionation, which always results in $^{15}N$ enrichment of the substrate. The isotopic fractionation factor calculated in this study was 1.0196, an indication that 1.96% more $^{14}NO_3{^-}$ reacted at a given time interval than a comparable number of $^{15}NO_3{^-}$. The ${\delta}^{15}N$ values measured through the incubation study showed a good agreement with the results calculated from the Fochts isotope fractionation model. Our results suggest that when the ${\delta}^{15}N$ of $NO_3{^-}$ is used for tracing the fate of N, the kinetic isotope fractionation associated with denitrification must be taken into consideration.

This paper presents a stable isotope chemistry of bone collagen and carbonate. Bone carbonate has the potential to provide additional isotopic information. However, it remains controversial as to whether archaeological bone carbonate retains its original biogenic signature. I used a novel application of bone density fractionation and checked the integrity of ${\delta}^{13}C_{apa}$ values using radiocarbon dating. Diagenesis in archaeological bone carbonate still remains to be resolved in extracting biogenic information. The combined use of bone density fractionation and differential dissolution method shows a large shift in the ${\delta}^{13}C_{apa}$ values. Although ${\delta}^{13}C_{apa}$ values are improved in lighter density fractions, a large percentage of contamination in bone carbonate was reported via $^{14}C$ dating compared to that noted with bone collagen.

The original environment of the solar system can be inferred by studying the oxygen isotope ratios in the Sun as well as in primitive meteorites and comets. The oxygen isotopic fractionation measured in primitive meteorites is mass-independent, which can be explained by the isotopic-selective photodissociation of CO. The isotopic-selective photodissociation model in a collapsing cloud by Lee et al. (2007) imply the birth of the Sun in a stellar cluster with an enhanced radiation field, which is consistent with the inferred presence of $^{60}Fe$.

Isotopic compositions of ice and meltwater play a very crucial role in paleoclimate studies based on ice cores and water resources research conducted in alpine hydrogeology. Better understanding of variations in the stable isotopic compositions of water is required since changes from ice to liquid water are gaining more attention due to recent climate change. In this work, a melting experiment was designed and conducted to investigate how the isotopic compositions of ice vary with time by heat sources, such as solar radiation. We conducted the melting experiment for 22 hours. The discharge rate rose to a maximum value after 258 minutes and gradually declined because we fixed the heat source. The isotopic compositions of meltwater increased linearly or to a second degree polynomial. The linear relationship between oxygen and hydrogen has a slope of 6.8, which is less than that of the Global Meteoric Water Line (8) and higher than a theoretical value (6.3). The deuterium excess decreased when ${\delta}D$ or ${\delta}^{18}O$ increases or vise versa since the slope of the relationship for ice-liquid exchange is less than 8. These findings and the apparatus of the melting experiments will make a helpful contribution to the studies of stable isotopes and the melting process in temperate and polar regions.

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the source of U anomaly formed in stream water of the drainage system around the Shinbo talc mine area based on the O, H, S and Sr isotopic characteristics of water masses and wall rocks. The ${\delta}$D and ${\delta}^{18}O$ of surface and ground waters show highly restricted range and plotted on the same meteoric water line, indicating that they are all originated from the meteoric water. The ${\delta}^{34}S$value of the ground water containing high U shows slightly negative (-0.2${\textperthousand}$) and quite distinct from those of the other surface and ground waters that are similar to those of wall rocks (>5.8${\textperthousand}$), indicating that they have a different S isotopic fractionation or less probably, source. The $^{87}Sr/^{86}{Sr}$ratios of water masses around the Shinbo talc mine area show a variable range from 0.724325 to 0.744928, but tend to increase with increasing U concentration of water mass. Although it is not possible to determine precisely the source rock of U anomaly formed in the hydrologic system around the Shinbo talc mine, the evidence obtained from the Sr isotopic compositions strongly suggests that coal schist and/or pegmatite vein could be the most likely candidate for the source rock.
