Graphite for the nuclear reactor is used to the moderator, reflector and supporter in which fuel rod inside of nuclear reactor. Recently, there are many researches has been performed on the various characteristics of nuclear graphite, however most of them are restricted to the structural and the mechanical properties. Therefore we focused on the thermal property of nuclear graphite. This study investigated the thermal emissivity following the oxidation degree of nuclear graphite with IG-11 used as a sample. IG-11 was oxidized to 6% and 11% in air at 5 l/min at $600^{\circ}C$. The porosity and thermal emissivity of the sample were measured using a mercury porosimeter and by an IR method, respectively. The thermal emissivity of an oxidized sample was measured at $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$. The porosity of the oxidized samples was found to increase as the oxidation degree increased. The thermal emissivity increased as the oxidation degree increased, and the thermal emissivity decreased as the measured temperature increased. It was confirmed that the thermal emissivity of oxidized IG-11 is correlated with the porosity of the sample.

In this research, to analyze the concentration of heavy metal ions in water, we tried to find the measuring time at which the faradaic electric currents flowing by the pure oxidation-reduction reaction from the pushing up mercury electrode of the stripping scan square wave voltammetry(SV+SWV) methods system becomes larger than the capacitance electric current. In order to do this, a method for analyzing signals using FPGA has been designed and we conducted 120 experiments using it. As a result, when the frequency of the square wave is 40Hz, The valid potential-current signal was measured from 96.6667% to 96.7155% of the end of the pulse of the forward and reverse, and the optimal signal was measured at 96.6667%. In addition, the experiment was carried out 40 times by changing the pulse height of the square wave from 10Mv to 40Mv. As a result, at a size smaller than 40Mv, there is little change in the magnitude of the potential-current, and an invalid signal was generated when it is out of this size.

In this study, we report the mercury ions ($Hg^{2+}$) mediated phosphorus-containing carbon dots (PCDs) as a selective "off-on" fluorescence probe for glutathione (GSH), cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcys). PCDs obtained by hydrothermal reaction are sensitive to $Hg^{2+}$ ions and its fluorescence can be significantly quenched owing to the electron transfer from the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of PCDs to $Hg^{2+}$. Interestingly, the weak fluorescence of $Hg^{2+}$-mediated PCDs could be gradually recovered with the addition of GSH, Cys and Hcys. This can be attributed to the formation of $Hg^{2+}-S$ complex due to the super affinity of $Hg^{2+}$-sulfydryl bond. The formation of $Hg^{2+}-S$ complex extremely reduces the oxidation ability of $Hg^{2+}$ that inhibits the electron transfer from LUMO of PCDs to $Hg^{2+}$ and re-opens the native electron transition from LUMO to the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of PCDs. Thus, the green fluorescence of PCDs is switched on. Furthermore, the present $Hg^{2+}$-mediated PCDs assay exhibits a high selectivity for GSH, Cys and Hcy and has been successfully used to detect the total biothiols content in human urine samples.

$PM_{2.5}$-bound mercury (PBM) was monitored at weekly intervals for three years (from 2014 to 2016) at an urban (Seoul) and rural site (Baengnyeong) in South Korea. The average PBM concentrations in $PM_{2.5}$ samples over the entire sampling period were $12{\pm}11pg/m^3$ and $36{\pm}34pg/m^3$ for Baengnyeong and Seoul, respectively. Seasonal differences were pronounced, with concentrations being highest in winter due to local meteorological conditions (high gas-particle coefficient due to low temperature and low mixing layer height in winter) as well as seasonal factors, such as coal combustion for heating purposes in China. In Baengnyeong, the significant positive correlation of PBM with $PM_{2.5}$, air pollutants, and heavy metals suggested that coal combustion in China might be the most important source of ambient mercury in Korea. In winter, no correlation of PBM with $PM_{2.5}$, air pollutants, and heavy metals was seen in Seoul. Furthermore, Seoul showed higher $PBM/PM_{2.5}$ and $Pb/PM_{2.5}$ ratios in winter due to the strong atmospheric oxidation-reduction reaction conditions as well as local and regional PBM sources. We conclude that immediate attention must be given to addressing PBM levels in Korea, including considering it as a key component of future air quality monitoring activities and mitigation measures.

난분해성 폐수인 사진현상폐수의 $UV/H_2O_2$ 및 $H_2O_2$의 고급산화에 의한 오염물질의 제거 실험을 실시하였다. $UV/H_2O_2$ 산화에서 $H_2O_2$의 분해로 $OH^-$ 라디칼이 발생되는데 파장 190~300 nm의 UV가 반응의 촉매 역할을 한다. $OH^-$ 라디칼은 수명은 짧으나 강력한 산화력을 갖고 있는데, 이 산화력은 폐수처리에서 폐수나 액상 폐기물의 유기물질을 제거하는데 이용된다. 본 연구에서 기존의 tube형 반응조의 단점을 보완한 UV-자유반사 반응조를 제작하여 사용하였으며 UV원으로는 수은 고압램프가 이용되었다. 본 실험에서는 반응시간과 $H_2O_2$ 주입량 및 pH 변화에 따른 오염물의 처리효율의 변화를 조사하였는데 $H_2O_2$의 주입량이 증가할수록 처리효율이 높았으나 그 차이는 미미하였으며, pH 8에서 보다는 3에서 처리효율이 약간 높았으나 그 차이 역시 크지 않았다. 본 연구에서 사진현상폐수 처리의 적정 운전조건은 pH 8, $H_2O_2$ 주입량은 유입수의 COD를 기준으로 한 1.3배 화학량론적 주입으로 나타났는데, 5시간의 처리에서 $COD_{Cr}$, TOC 및 색도의 제거효율은 각각 약 47.5%, 75.0% 및 91.5%로 나타났다. 반응 후 생분해성의 지표인 BOD/COD 비는 초기 0.04에서 0.21로 약 5.3배 증가하였다.

We studied the possibility to produce solid fuel using cattle manure and to apply TAO (Thermophilic Aerobic Oxidation) process of solid-liquid separation fraction. The physiochemical compositions of cattle manure solid fuel chip were analyzed as water 0.12%, low calorific value 3,510 kcal/kg, ashes 11.9%, chlorine 0.82%, sulfur dust 0.5%, mercury non-detection, cadmium 1.0 mg/kg, lead 2 mg/kg, arsenic non-detection. In treating cattle manure with TAO reactor the internal temperature of the reactor was increasing higher and $50^{\circ}C$ and over was maintained after 20 hours on. The physiochemical compositions of liquids increased from pH 7.3 to pH 9.18 and EC decreased from 4.6 to 3.48 mS/cm in treating process of cattle manure with TAO reactor. COD and SCOD decreased from 16,800 to 10,400 mg/L, from 4,600 to 2,040 mg/L respectively, which showed about 38% and 56% of remove efficiency respectively.

Problems due to the taste and odor in drinking water are common in treatment facilities around the world. Taste and odor are perceived by the public as the primary indicators of the safely and acceptability of drinking water, and are mainly caused by the presence of two semi-volatile compounds-2-methylisoborneol(2-MIB) and geosmin. Conventional treatment processes in water treatment plants, such as coagulation, sedimentation and chlorination have been found to be ineffective for the removal of 2-MIB and geosmin. Pulse UV system is a new UV irradiation system that is a non-mercury lamp-based alternative to currently used continuous wave systems for water disinfection. This study shows pulse UV system to be effective in treatment of these two compounds. Geosmin removal efficiency of UV process alone achieved approximately 70% at 10sec contact time. 2-MIB removal efficiency of UV only process achieved approximately 60% at 10sec contact time. The addition of $H_{2}O_{2}$ 7mg/L increased geosmin and 2-MIB removal efficiency upto approximately 94% and 91%, respectively.

Objective : This study was undertaken to determine if Pyunggangaeuljihyul-tang (Pinggankaiyuzhixue-tang, PG) has a protective effect against cell injury induced by various toxic agents in rabbit liver, Methods : Cell injury in vitro was estimated by measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and that in vivo was estimated by measuring alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity in serum. Lipid peroxidation was examined by measuring malondialdehyde, a product of lipid per oxidation. Results : PG prevented the LDH release by $CCl_4$, mercury, menadione, and tert-butyl hydroperoxide treatment in vitro in liver slices. The extent of protection by 2% PG was similar to that of $10{\mu\textrm{M}}$ N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenedianline, a potent antioxidant, in tert-butyl hydroperoxide-induced LDH release. PG also prevented lipid peroxidation and depletion of cellular ATP induced by Hg. Hg causes motphological changes including cell necrosis and its effect was significantly prevented by PG. When rats were treated intraperitoneatly with 0.5 ml/kg of $CCl_4$, serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities were increased compared with the control, which was significantly inhibited by pretreatment of PG. PG also prevented reduction in GSH and lipid peroxidation induced by $CCl_4$ Conclusion : These results suggest that PG exerts aprotective effect against various toxic agents by its antioxidant action in liver tissues. Thus, PG may be used in prevention and treatment of drug-induced liver cell injury. However, the precise mechanisms of PG protection remain to be determined.

$TiO_2$ 광촉매 산화 공정의 효율은 수산기 라디칼의 생성량에 따라 크게 의존한다. 따라서 생성되는 수산기 라디칼의 정확한 정량이 공정을 평가하는데 필수적이다. 하지만 아직까지 이러한 수산기 라디칼 정량법이 마련되지 못했다. 이에 본 연구는 $TiO_2$ 광촉매 산화 반응에서 생성되는 수산기 라디칼을 정량화하기 위한 기존 분석법들을 비교하고, 기존 분석법들의 단점을 극복할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안하고자 수행되었다. $TiO_2$ 광촉매 산화 반응을 모사하기 위하여, 표준 $TiO_2$ 광촉매로서 널리 이용되고 있는 Degussa P25를 사용하였으며, 투여량은 0.05 g/L이었다. 그리고 UVC 수은 저압램프(11 W, $2,975mW/cm^2$)를 광원으로 이용하였다. 연구결과, 기존에 많이 활용되고 있는 요오드화칼륨(KI)/UV-vis 분광분석법과 테레프탈산(TPA)/형광 분광분석법은 각각 요오드이온(I-)과 테레프탈산을 공정 중 생성된 수산기 라디칼과 반응시켜 발생하는 삼중요오드이온($I_3{^-}$)과 2-하이드록시 테레프탈산을 검출하여 수산기 라디칼의 생성여부만을 확인할 수 있는 정성적인 분석법들이었다. 하지만 본 연구에서 테레프탈산 방법을 고성능 액체 크로마토그래프(HPLC) 분석법과 연계하였을 때 수산기 라디칼의 정량화가 가능하였다. 이렇게 새롭게 개발된 TPA/HPLC 분석법을 이용하여 측정한 결과, 본 연구의 실험 조건에서 8시간의 광촉매 산화 공정에 의해서 0.013 M의 수산기 라디칼이 생성되는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 수산기 라디칼 정량법은 광촉매 산화 공정의 성능을 평가하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

이 연구의 목적은 한국 중등학교 과학 교과서에 기술된 화학적으로 불분명한 ‘중금속' 용어에 대해 정의, 종류 및 의미의 항목으로 알아보았다. 예비 결과에 의하면 교과서중에서 ‘화학 I' 교과서 8종 중 6종에 서 비중을 근거로 중금속을 정의하고 있으며 또 인체에 유해하고 지속적으로 축적되는 금속으로 묘사하고 있 다. 특히 8종의 모든 교과서에서 중금속의 예로 카드뮴, 납 그리고 수은을 제시하고 있으나 비소와 같은 비금 속이나 크롬, 망간, 철, 코발트, 니켈 그리고 구리 같은 인체 필수 미량 금속도 들어 있었다. 금속의 독작용을 이해함에 있어서 금속의 산화상태, 생체 내 존재량, 생체 성분과의 반응성을 고려해야 하지만 교과서에서 이에 대한 단편적인 예만 제시하고 있었다. 화학적으로 정의되지 못한 용어는 학생들로 하여금 중금속은 독소와 동 일할 수 있다는 대안 개념을 유발시킬 수 있으므로 이러한 모호한 정의와 설명은 교과서에서 지양되어야 한다.
