The study examined the electrogeneration of hypochlorite ions (ClO^-) via electrolysis of aqueous NaCl solutions using a dimensionally stable anode-type (DSA-type) electrode based on platinum and palladium oxides supported on titanium mesh (Ti/PtPd(10%)O_x). The electrogenerated ClO^- was quantified on the basis of the absorption band at 292 nm (A_λ = 292) of the UV-Vis spectrum. The effect of initial pH, concentration of NaCl, cell potential difference and electrolysis time were investigated in this study. The results showed that the electrolysis of aqueous NaCl solutions increases the solution pH up to high values (≥ 8.0) that favor the formation of ClO^- over chlorine or hypochlorous acid. The hypochlorite concentration increases significantly at pH values > 7.0 and shows a linear trend with increasing NaCl concentration and with increasing cell potential difference. When the cell potential and NaCl concentration are held constant, the maximum hypochlorite value during electrolysis depends on both the cell potential and NaCl concentration. The Ti/PtPd(10%)O_x anode favors the production of hypochlorite ions, making this anode a promising material for use in electrochemical oxidation of wastewater via an indirect mechanism.

In a previous study by Kim et al. (2000), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) has been demonstrated to be effective against algae that cause red tides. To secure the environmental safely of the chemical in practical use, effect of NaOCl, at concentrations required for algicidal activity, on the histology of rockfish and little neck clam was examined. When the animals were exposed to NaOCl at concentrations of 0.5 or 2ppm for 1 hr, there was no exposure-associated histological change in either animal. As the experimental exposure condition was set in consideration of the use, our results provide safety information necessary for practical application to marine fields.

본 연구는 옥수수 전분을 sodium hypochlorite(NaOCl)로 산화시킬 때 산화제의 농도, pH와 온도가 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 전분의 산화 반응은 NaOCl 농도, pH와 온도의 영향을 받았다. 산화반응은 산화제가 3.0% active Cl/g starch 이하의 농도에서는 1차 반응, 3.75% active Cl/g starch이상의 농도에서는 2차 반응으로 나타났다. 1차 반응에서 산화제의 농도가 2.25% active Cl/g starch 까지는 반응속도 상수가 증가하였고, 그 이후의 농도에서는 일정한 값을 보였다. 산화에 따른 전분내 카르복실기 함량은 반응 초기에 급격히 증가하다가 반응이 진행되면서 증가정도가 완만해졌으며, NaOCl 농도가 증가함에 따라 카르복실기의 생성량도 증가하였다. 동일한 NaOCl 농도(1.5% active Cl/g starch)에서 전분의 산화는 pH 7에서 가장 빠르게 진행되었다 온도에 따른 전분의 산화속도를 1차식으로 해석한 결과, 온도가 증가됨에 따라 속도 상수(k)값이 증가되어 반응속도가 빨라지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 한편 Arrhenius 식으로부터 산화 반응의 활성화 에너지를 계산하였을 때 1차반응의 활성화 에너지는 약 13.45 kcal/mol이었다.

The biocide sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is widely used for controlling algal growth, and this application can be extended to marine environments as well. This study evaluates the biocidal efficiency and cellular toxicity of NaOCl on the harmful dinoflagellate Cochlodinium polykrikoides, with emphasis on pigment production and antioxidant enzyme activity. The test organism showed dose-dependent decrease in growth rate on exposure to NaOCl, and the 72 h $EC_{50}$ was measured to be $0.584mg\;L^{-1}$. NaOCl significantly decreased pigment levels and chlorophyll autofluorescence intensity, indicating possible detrimental effects on the photosystem of C. polykrikoides. Moreover, it significantly increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes, suggesting the production of reactive oxygen species in the cells. These data indicate that NaOCl exerted deleterious effects on the photosynthetic machinery and induced oxidative damage in the dinoflagellate and this biocide could be effectively used for the control of algal blooms.

A total of 34 species belonging to 21 genera of fungi were recorded on passion fruits of both pure and hybrid origin in Uganda, however, the pure type exhibited wider spectrum (28 species and 16 genera) than the hybrid type (21 & 15). Also, yeasts (unidentified and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa) were also encountered in high numbers. Moreover, the mean count of all mycobiota obtained from the pure type was higher than that of hybrid, despite the bigger size of the later. Members of yeasts and Cladosporium followed by Phoma, Penicillium, Fusarium and Alternaria species dominated on passion fruits of pure origin, while only C. cladosporioides, F. solani and yeasts dominated on the hybrid type. Treatment with Na-hypochlorite exhibited inhibitory effects on the total mycobiotic propagules as well as the dominant species from fruits of both types. The current results, therefore, suggest the use of Na-hypochlorite to control the post-harvest mycobiota associated with passion fruits. Regarding the mycobiota contaminating passion juice, yeasts were found to be the major contaminants with Candida parapsilosis being the most common. Moulds constituted only a minor proportion with Acremonium strictum followed by Fusarium chlamydosporum, F. moniliforme, F. acuminatum and F. solani as the most dominant species. In the heat-treated juice samples, the counts of the most commonly encountered mycobiota (both yeasts and molds) were significantly inhibited or completely eliminated. Some unidentified Bacillus species were also recovered from the juice, however, their counts in the heated samples were increased but insignificantly.

넙치는 단기간 NaOCl에 대한 노출에 대해 2ppm이하에서는 육안적으로 관찰시 심각한 이상증상이 관찰되지 않았으며, 조피볼락에서는 2.5ppm까지 급성적으로 안전하였다. 넙치와 조피볼락에서의 1시간 LC$_{50}$은 각각 3.24ppm 및 7.58ppm이었다. 조피볼락을 NaOCl로 1시간 노출시키고 혈액학적 및 혈장생화학적 변수를 측정하였을 때 2ppm이상의 농도에서 glucose의 농도가 현저히 상승한 부분을 제외하고는 생화학적 변수에도 이상이 발견되지는 않았다. Glucose는 거의 모든 종류의 stress에 의해서 신속히 증가하는 변수로서 이 시험에서 발견된 증가현상도 NaOCl이 가진 냄새 또는 화학적 자극성에 의한 stress의 결과로 나타난 것으로 추정된다.

The removal efficiency of herbicide glyphosate in a drinking water treatment system was investigated. Four major processes of a drinking water treatment system were selected and experiments were performed separately including; treatments by sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), a sedimentation process by PAC (polyaluminum chloride), ozonation and a GAC (granular activated carbon) treatment. In the sodium hypochlorite experiment, about 50% of the glyphosate was removed by 2 mg/L of hypochlorite and more than 90% was eliminated when 5 mg/L of NaOCl was applied. Also, AMPA, the main metabolite of glyphosate, was treated with hypochlorite. More than 30% of the AMPA was removed by 2 mg/L of hypochlorite and 50% by 5 mg/L. In the PAC experiment, it was determined that more than 60% could be removed. Further experiments were performed and the results indicated that the removed amount was dependent upon the amount of soil and upon the properties of the soil especially that of clay minerals. Ozonation could oxidize glyphosate to its byproducts at about a level of 50%. In contrast, when 1 mg/L of glyphosate was treated with GAC, the amount removed was negligible. The results of this experiment were conclusive. We confirmed that drinking water, which has been contaminated with water polluted with glyphosate can be effectively purified by the application of the drinking water treatment processes currently used.

This study investigated improvement to sludge dewaterability and coagulation for sewage treatment plant sludge by using sodium hypochlorite solution (NaOCl), ferric sulfate [$Fe_2(SO_4)_3$] and zeolite. The specific resistance to filtration(SRF), chloride, pH and turbidity were used to evaluate the sludge dewatering behaviors. The results of study were as follows: By varying the amount of NaOCl added the optimum result in terms of enhancement for pretreatment occurred when 34 mg/l of NaOCl was injected. When the total solids concentration of the sludge was 10,000 mg/l, the optimum ferric sulfate dosage for the sludge dewaterability was 150 mg/l and the corresponding SRF was $1.7{\times}10^7sec^2/g$. It was observed that injecting zeolite into sludge was effective in improving the dewaterability of sludge.

Objective: Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) decreases the bond strength of resin composite. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of antioxidant and superficial dentin surface removal on the microtensile bond strength of NaOCl-treated dentin. Materials and Methods: Twenty non-carious human third molars were used in this study. The dentin surfaces were treated with 5.25% NaOCl for 10 min, followed either by treatment with 10% ascorbic acid or superficial dentin surface removal. Two-step self-etch adhesive and resin composite were used for restoration. The bonded specimens were subjected to the microtensile bond strength test. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's test (p < 0.05). Results: The bond strength after removal of the superficial dentin surface following NaOCl irrigation was similar to that in the control group. The group treated with 10% ascorbic acid demonstrated significantly higher bond strength than the other groups. Conclusion: NaOCl irrigation-induced reduction in dentin bond strength could be recovered by either treatment with 10% ascorbic acid or simple removal of the superficial dentin surface.

일반소독제로 광범위하게 사용되는 NaOCl을 종자소독제로써 이용할 수 있는 방안을 확립하고자 종자전염에 의한 병해 발생이 많은 볍씨와 채소종자를 대상으로 소독 효과를 조사하였던 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. NaOCl의 참깨 종자 소독 효과를 조사하였던 바 NaOCl의 농도가 높을 수록 그리고 침지시간이 길수록 종자 소독 효과가 뚜렷 하였으나 종자 발아 장해를 일으켰다. 종자발아율을 높이며 소독효과가 우수한 종자 처리 방법은 NaOCl 1-2%에서 10분간 침지하는 것이었고, 벼 종자소독 효과는 NaOCl 농도 1-2%에서 침지시간을 30분 이내로 하는 것이 좋았다. 2. 무, 배추 종자 소독 효과를 조사하였던 바 NaOCl 농도 1%에서 10분간 침지할 경우 각종 Alternaria균의 검출율을 현저히 저하시켰고, 고추종자에서는 NaOCl 농도 1%에서 10분간 침지할 경우 각종 탄저병균의 검출율을 현저히 저하시켰다. 3. 종자전염성 진균에 대한 NaOCl의 소독 효과는 종자소독제인 Benlate T에 비하여 참깨종자에서는 우수하게 나타났고, 볍씨에서는 비슷하였다. 그러나 NaOCl은 처리농도가 높고 시간이 긴 경우에는 발아장해를 초래하였다.
