해양방류시스템을 계획할 때 우선목표는 방류수의 초기희석을 극대화하는 것이다. 이를 효과적으로 달성하기 위해서는 방류수와 주변수의 혼합현상, 특히 초기혼합영역인 근역에 대한 특성분석이 선행되어야 한다. 최근까지 최적의 방류시스템(outfall system) 구현을 위하여 근역(NFR)에서의 온배수 방류에 관한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있지만 온배수(heat discharge)와 염배수(brine discharge)를 동시에 방류할 경우를 고려한 성과물을 찾기는 어려운 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 온수와 염수를 동시에 고려한 방류시스템의 최적설계를 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 방류수의 거동양상 특히, 근역에서의 혼합성을 분석하였다. 수치실험은 표면방류, 단일확산관 방류, 다공확산관 방류를 해당 해역의 법적 수질기준에 부합하는지 여부를 주로 평가하였다. 그 결과 표면방류와 단일확산관 방류는 방류형식이 부적절하였고, 다공확산관의 경우도 기하학적인 형상에 따라 결과가 조금 상이하였다.

속초 하수종말처리장에서의 하·폐수 해양방류에 따른 혼합구역 특성을 파악하기 위해 Huang et al.(1996)의 분석방법을 활용하여 혼합구역 모형을 수립하였다. 겨울철인 11월 하순부터 1월까지 약 2개월 동안 속초 해양방류수역에서 매시간 연속 관측된 해류, 해수 밀도의 성층자료, 그리고 하수 방류량자료를 입력한 모형모의를 통해 속초 해양방류수역에서 하수농도의 분포변화를 계산하였으며, 동일 기간에 관측된 조석자료를 토대로 약 15일 간격으로 구분한 기간 동안에 대해 평균한 농도분포를 제시하였다. 이 결과에 의하면 겨울철동안 평균된 최소희석률은 130으로 방류 하수의 혼합·의석이 대체로 양호했다. 그러나 해안에 평행한 연안류와 조류의 주 방향에 따라 방류하수의 혼합구역이 외해보다는 해변 쪽으로 확장되고 있어 인근 해수욕장의 수질악화에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다.

The quality of sugarcane grown on the NE Australian tropical coast ($16^{\circ}$15'- $18^{\circ}$15' S Lat.) has declined markedly in the past seven years. This has been linked to dilution of mill-supply cane with increasing levels of non mature-stalk material consisting of leaves and sucker culms. The prime research objective was to examine the transition from the pre-harvest, in-field crop to harvested material sent for processing, in terms of quality and crop fraction proportions. A secondary objective was to quantify the effects of preharvest-season crop habit and culm condition on crop quality. Ten quadrat samples from each of 54 random crop sites (17 in 1999 and 37 in 2000), covering a wide range of variables (cultivar, crop class, and edaphic, topographic, climatic, and temporal factors) were collected immediately before harvest. Samples were partitioned into four fractions:- sound and unsound mature stalks (culms), sucker culms, and extraneous matter (leaves). Material harvested from each site was sampled and partitioned into four fractions:- sound and unsound billets (culm pieces), culm-spindle pieces, and leaf. In 2000, before harvest, 14 additional sites were sampled monthly, on three occasions, from March - June. Erect and non-erect culms were divided into sound and unsound classes. All samples were disintegrated and presented to a remote reflectance module of a scanning spectrophotometer using the BSES large cassette module. Near infra-red spectroscopic (NIS) analyses were developed for the rapid determination of quality components (Brix, commercial cane sugar (CCS), fibre, moisture, and polariscope reading). Calibrations for three material groups (culm (n = 639), non-culm (n = 496), and combined) were developed for all components using the 1999 data set. Two sub-sets (n = 178, and 190) of about 10% of the preharvest-season and harvest populations scanned in 2000 also were subjected to full routine laboratory analyses. The 1999 combined calibrations were excellent, but the culm calibrations produced consistently lower standard errors. Non-culm calibrations were marginally better than the combined for only CCS and pol. reading. Analysis of the 2000 culm data with calibrations using all 1999 and 2000 culm data resulted in better predictions relative to the 1999 culm calibrations. This also was true for the combined calibrations. Assessment of quality components in pre- and post-harvest sugarcane using NIS calibrations was more cost effective than using routine laboratory techniques. Outcomes from this NIS-facilitated research will have important economic consequences for the Australian sugarcane industry. Potential CCS present in mature culms is being discounted by dilution with leaves and sucker culms, threatening farm viability. The results question the efficacy of current harvesting technology. The CCS of harvested cane is improved only marginally over that of the in-field crop. Current harvesting technology requires either supplementary, innovative pre-mill processing or a design revolution to improve mill-supply cane quality, and therefore whole of industry economics. NIS-facilitated analyses, before the harvest season, highlighted the benefits of growing erect, sound crops. Loss of CCS then, can be minimized only by a combination of crop improvement and agronomic solutions, applied as part of sound on-farm management.

농약의 토양 표면유출에 관한 연구의 일차단계로 사과 과수원에서 자연강우를 이용한 captafol의 토양 표면 유출 실험을 수행하였다. Captafol 유출농도는 약제를 살포한 직후 강우가 있었던 5차시기에 가장 높은 180 ppb의 수준을 보였으며, 그 이외의 시기에는 대부분 20 ppb 이하였고, 전체 유출된 양은 처리한 유효성분량에 대하여 0.1% 이하 수준이었다. 지천과 합류되는 지점에서 captafol의 희석배율은 과수원의 배출구와 바로 인접한 지천에서는 약 10배, 좀 더 이동되어 큰 지천과 합류되는 지점에서는 약 50배의 수준이었다. 따라서 captafol이 유출로 인하여 인접 하천으로 유입되는 경우는 희석요인(약 $10{\sim}50$배로 희석)과 빠른 가수분해성을 고려할 때 환경생물에 대한 급성적인 독성은 문제가 되지 않을 것으로 판단되었다.

아산화질소(Nitrous oxide, N2O)는 지구온난화 물질의 하나로 이산화탄소에 비해 지구온난화효과가 310배 강하고 분해하는데 120년이 소요되기 때문에 오존층 파괴에 주범으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 N2O를 저감하기 위해 고온 열분해 기술을 적용하여 N2O 저감 공정에서 발생하는 NOx 배출 특성에 대해 조사하였다. 고온 유동장을 형성하기 위해 동축 분젠 예혼합 화염을 열원으로 채택하였으며 실험 변수로는 노즐출구속도, 동축류 속도 및 N2O 희석률로 설정하였다. 실험 결과, NO 생성률은 노즐출구속도 및 동축류 유량에 관계없이 N2O 희석률이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. N2O의 경우에는 연소 불안정성(Kelvin Helmholtz 불안정)이 억제된 안정된 예혼합 화염에서 다량으로 배출되었는데, 이는 화염 면 부근에서 감소된 N2O의 체류시간으로 인해 열분해 시간이 충분하지 않기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 N2O의 저감 효율을 증진시키기 위해서는 K-H 불안정성이 발생되는 노즐출구속도를 선정하여 화염 면 부근에서 발생되는 와류(toroidal vortex) 형태의 유동 구조를 형성하는 것이 N2O의 체류시간을 증가시키는데 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

To test the hypothesis that humic acid (HA), anaerobically digested pig slurry filtrate (APS), and their combination would differently affect the chemical speciation and extractability of metals (cadmium, copper, and zinc) and their uptake by plants, we conducted a pot experiment using wormwood in two texturally contrasting soils (sandy loam and clay loam) collected from a field near an abandoned Cu mine. Four treatments were laid out: HA at $ 23.5g\;kg^{-1}$ (HA), APS at $330mL\;kg^{-1}$ (APS), HA at $ 23.5g\;kg^{-1}$ and APS at $330mL\;kg^{-1}$ (HA + APS), and a control. Each treatment affected the chemical speciation and mobility of the metals, and thereby resulting in variable patterns of plant biomass yield and metal uptake. The APS supported plant growth by increasing nutrient availability. HA supported or hindered plant growth by impacting the soil's water and nutrient retention capacity and aeration, in a soil texture-dependent manner, while consistently enhancing the immobilization of heavy metals. Temporal increases in whole-plant dry matter yield and metal accumulation suggested that the plants were capable of metal hyperaccumulation. The results were discussed in terms of the mobility of metals and plant growth and corroborated by the $^{15}N$ recovery of soil- and plant-N pools under H and HS treatments. Therefore, for effective phytoremediation of polluted soils, an appropriate combination of plant growth promoters (APS) and chelating agents (HA) should be predetermined at the site where chemical stabilization of pollutants is desired.

Turbulence produced on roadways is one of the major factors determining the dilution rates at the initial stage of traffic emissions of air pollutants and, thus, the distribution of air pollutants near the roadways. Field experiments were conducted on Gyeongbu Highway, one of the busiest highways in Korea, for 4~7 days in winter, spring, and summer. Two three-dimensional ultrasonic anemometers were installed on both sides of the highway to estimate turbulence intensities (vertical wind fluctuation and kinetic turbulence energy) induced by the roadway. Roadway-induced turbulence consists of three components: structural road-induced turbulence (S-RIT), thermal road-induced turbulence (T-RIT), and vehicle-induced turbulence (VIT). The contribution of T-RIT to the total RIT was insignificant (less than 10%), and the majority of RIT was S-RIT (by the highway embankment) and VIT. In this study, we propose the empirical relationships of VIT as a function of traffic density and wind speed under free-flow traffic conditions. Although this empirical relationship appears to underestimate the VIT, it can be applied to the air quality models easily because the relationship is simple and only needs readily obtainable input variables (wind speed and traffic information).

To improve the uniformity of slurry spreading and to reduce the odor problem, a hose slurry spreader was developed, which spread the slurry near to the surface of the soil. First, the uniformity of slurry spreading was investigated. The best result of 8.1 ％ CV was obtained at the rotor speed of 250 rpm than any other speeds for the swine slurry, which contains 13.6% of dry matter. In case of dairy cattle slurry, which contains 8.2% of dry matter, the uniformity has the best result of CV 7.2% by high rotor speed of 330 rpm. A high speed of rotor has built a sufficient pressure in the distributor and discharged a uniform quantity of slurry through the hoses. Therefore, in practical use one should work with rotor speed over 300 rpm to maximize the uniformity of slurry spreading. Second, odor test was done with the swine slurry. While the conventional spreader shows ∑ value 440, the hose slurry spreader and its combination of disk harrow show ∑ value 258 and 184 respectively. With the air dilution sensual test and a 3-point odor bag, the conventional spreader shows 66.9 or 35.4 point and by the hose slurry spreader is 9.7 or 11.1 point. So, the developed spreader was found to have a greater effect on the reduction of odor problem. Finally, it is recommended to spread certain amount of the slurry for paddy field equivalent to the chemical fertilizer based on the N-content. It means 22 tons of swine slurry per ha. Since most of the livestock farms possess less arable land, a system of linking farms is necessary to utilize the slurry crossover the farms. The cost of slurry utilization including filling, transport spreading and brokerage is 3200-6800 Won/㎥ in accordance with the transport distance.

The recycling of coal bottom ash generated from coal power plants in Korea has been limited due to heterogenous characteristics of the materials. The most common management option for the ash is disposal in landfills (i.e. ash pond) near ocean. The presence of large coarse and fine materials in the ash has prompted the desire to beneficially use it in an application such as fill materials. Prior to reuse application as fill materials, the potential risks to the environment must be assessed with regard to the impacts. In this study, a total of nine test cells with bottom ash samples collected from pretreated bottom ash piles and coal ash pond in a coal-fired power plant were constructed and operated under the field conditions to evaluate the leachability over a period of 210 days. Leachate samples from the test cells were analyzed for a number of chemical parameters (e.g., pH, salinity, electrical conductance, anions, and metals). The concentrations of chemicals detected in the leachate were compared to appropriate standards (drinking water standard) with dilution attenuation factor, if possible, to assess potential leaching risks to the surrounding area. Based on the leachate analysis, most of the samples showed slightly high pH values for the coal ash contained test cells, and contained several ions such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, sulfate, and nitrate in relatively large quantities. Three elements (aluminum, boron, and barium) were commonly detected above their respective detection limits in a number of leachate samples, especially in the early leaching period of time. The results of the test cell study indicate that the pollutants in the leachate from the coal ash test cells were not of a major concern in terms of leaching risk to surface water and groundwater under field conditions as fill materials. However, care must be taken in extending these results to actual applications because the results presented in this study are based on the limited field test settings and time frame. Structural characteristics and analysis for coal bottom ash may be warranted to apply the materials to actual field conditions.

While most of regulatory communities in abroad recognize ' 'natural attenuation " to include degradation, dispersion, dilution, sorption (including precipitation and transformation), and volatilization as governing Processes, regulators prefer "degradation" because this mechanism destroys the contaminant of concern. Unfortunately, true degradation only applies to organic contaminants and short- lived radionuclides, and leaves most metals and long-lived radionuclides. The natural attenuation Processes may reduce the potential risk Posed by site contaminants in three ways: (i)contaminants could be converted to a less toxic form througy destructive processes such as biodegradation or abiotic transformations; (ii) potential exposure levels may be reduced by lowering concentrations (dilution and dispersion); and (iii) contaminant mobility and bioavailability may be reduced by sorption to geomedia. In this review, authors will focus will focul on "sorption" among the natural attenuation processes of hazardous inorganic contaminants including radionuclides. Note though that sorption and transformation processes of inorganic contaminants in the natural setting could be influenced by biotic activities but our discussion would limit only to geochemical reactions involved in the natural attenuation. All of the geochemical reactions have been studied in-depth by numerous researchers for many years to understand "retardation" process of contaminants in the geomedia. The most common approach for estimating retardation is the determination of distrubution coefficiendts ($K_{d}$) of contaminants using parametric or mechanistic models. As typocally used in fate and contaminant transport calculations such as predictive models of the natural attenuation, the $K_{d}$ is defined as the ratio of the contaminant concentration in the surrounding aqueous solution when the system is at equilibrium. Unfortunately, generic or default $K_{d}$ values can result in significant error when used to predict contaminant migration rate and to select a site remediation alternative. Thus, to input the best $K_{d}$ value in the contaminant transport model, it is essential that important geochemical processes affecting the transport should be identified and understood. Precipitation/dissolution and adsorption/desorption are considered the most important geochemical processes affecting the interaction of inorganic and radionuclide contaminants with geomedia at the near and far field, respectively. Most of contaminants to be discussed in this presentation are relatively immobile, i.e., have very high $K_{d}$ values under natural geochemical environments. Unfortunately, the obvious containment in a source area may not be good enough to qualify as monitored natural attenuation site unless owner demonstrate the efficacy if institutional controls that were put in place to protect potential receptors. In this view, natural attenuation as a remedial alternative for some of sites contaminated by hazardous-inorganic components is regulatory and public acceptance issues rather than scientific issue.
