Feasibility test for a biofilter was performed to treat VOCs. The applied loading rate to the biofilter was calculated between 60 to $3,700\;kg\;COD/m^3$. Trimethyl-pentene and trimethyl-hexene were the two most dominant compounds and they occupy about 85 percent. During the acclimation period, it is desirable for a biofilter to receive relatively lower VOCs concentration and flow rate, until it can adjust to new substrate and operational environment. Temperature at various points inside the biofilter reactor was observed with more than 23 temperature sensors. With steam heating, temperatures of the top sections of the media were greater than those of bottom sections. Without steam heating, intermediate stages generally had higher temperature measurement than those of bottom and top stages. Because the pH values for different biofilter materials vary significantly, measurement of the pH for the mixture of different combinations of biofilter materials is necessary. Based on the types and brands of media, the measured pH ranged from 5.38 to 9.10. The range of measured pH of different mixtures with perlite, compost, saw dust, peat moss, limestone, vermiculite was 7.05 to 8.62.

중금속과 총 석유 탄화수소(TPH)로 동시 오염된 복합오염 토양을 정화하기 위해 펜톤 산화와 토양 세정법에 활용되고 있는 $H_2O_2$와 sodium dodecyl surfate (SDS)를 활용하여 강화된 동전기를 연구하였다. 또한, 토양 고유의 특성 차이 및 전극액 농도에 따른 정화 효율의 영향을 확인하기 위해 토양과 농도를 달리하여 실험하였다. 인공적으로 오염시킨 토양에서 10% $H_2O_2$와 20mM SDS를 활용한 실험에서 중금속 정화 효율이 가장 높게 나타났으며, 반면에 같은 농도의 용산 토양 실험에서 토양 고유의 높은 산 완충능력으로 중금속 정화 효율이 떨어졌다. 20% $H_2O_2$와 20mM SDS으로 전극액 농도를 높인 실험을 통해 높은 전류는 토양의 pH에 영향을 주었으며, 이로 인해 중금속 정화에 영향을 미쳤다. TPH의 정화 효율의 경우 용산토양의 높은 산 완충능력과 유기물 함량으로 인해 인공적으로 오염시킨 토양에 비해 산화 효율이 저하되었다. 게다가 40mM의 sodium dodecyl surfate (SDS)의 농도가 주입될 경우, SDS의 scavenger 영향 때문에 TPH 정화에 악영향을 주었다. 토양 고유의 구성성분 및 전극액 농도가 동전기-펜톤 공정의 전기화학적 현상 및 전기삼투유량, 오염물질 정화에 매우 큰 영향을 주는 인자로 판명되었다.

This research is about the relationship of electroosmotic drainage and zeta potential. Two laboratory experiments were conducted, at first a constant 16 voltage was applied to the cylindrical consolidated specimen of 10cm in diameter, 16cm in length at the concentration of 0, 500, 3000ppm Pb(II) and electroosmotic flow was measured for 12days. Then, zeta potential of kaolinite suspension was measured at the same concentration of electroosmotic permeability experiments in the range of pH from 2 to 14. From the result of this study, it was shown that zeta potential was dependent on the concentration of electrolyte and pH, was proportional to coefficient of electroosmotic permeability. According to the compared result of electroosmotic drainage, as the concentration of Pb(II) was low, the negative value of zeta potential was high and electroosmotic total flow was much.

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.

중금속은 토양 내에서 비보존성 화학물질로 작용하므로 흡착에 의해 지연효과가 발생할 수 있고 흡착은 pH에 영향을 받는다고 보고된 바 있다. 그러므로 토양 및 지하수 오염을 예방하고 복구하기 위해서는 다양한 pH조건에서 중금속의 이동형태를 파악하는 것이 중요한 연구과제가 된다. 본 연구에서는 사질토양에서 pH에 따른 중금속의 이동특성을 연구하기 위하여 배치실험과 주상실험올 수행하였다. 배치실험의 경우 초기농도별로 11가지의 $ZnCl_2$ 40 mL 용액과 사질토양 10g을 교반기에서 72시간 반응시켜 평형상태에 도달하게 한 후 용액을 채취하여 Zn, Ca, Mg의 세 가지 양이온을 ICP-AES로 분석하였다. 주상실험은 3가지 pH조건 (7.7, 5.8, 4.1)에서 10 g/L의 KCl과 $ZnCl_2$를 추적자로 사용하여 순간주입 (pulse injection) 형태로 토양시료 상부에 투입한 후 Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)를 사용하여 10 cm 깊이에서 잔존수농도를, EC-meter와 ICP분석을 통하여 20 cm 깊이의 하부 경계면에서 침출수농도를 분석하였다. 배치실험 결과, Zn은 Ca, Mg와 이온교환의 형태로 흡착이 발생하였고 등온 흡착방정식의 각 모델 (Linear, Freundlich, Langmuir)별로 최저 1.2에서 최고 614.1의 지연계수를 나타냈다. 주상실험에서도 모든 pH조건에서 Zn이온이 이온교환을 하여 흡착이 발생하였으나, 잔존수와 침출수 형태의 파과곡선 모두에서 Zn이용의 첨두농도 도달시간이 K이온과 일치하여 지연효과는 발생하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 정상류 상태로 부과한 낮은 배경농도의 용탈수내에 Zn보다 강한 이온교환능을 가지는 원소가 존재하지 않아 Zn의 탈착이 발생하지 않았기 때문이다. pH가 낮을수록 Zn는 용액내 수소이온 ($H^+$)의 증가로 치환능이 감소하여 첨두농도가 높게 나타났고, 상대적으로 치환되는 Ca, Mg의 양은 줄어들었다. 따라서 본 연구에 적용된 배치실험과 주상실험의 조건하에서는 Zn이온이 이온교환반응에 의한 흡착이 발생하였으나 지연효과는 발생하지 않았고 가장 낮은 pH에서 첨두농도가 최고 12.7배까지 증가하였다.

The biosorption and desorption of Cr, Cu and Al were carried out using brown marine algae Sargassum fluitans biomass, known as the good biosorbent of heavy metals. The content of alginate bound to light metals could be changed by physical and chemical pretreatment. The maximum uptake of Cr, Cu and Al was independent of the alginate content. The maximum uptaker of Al was two times(mole basis) than those of Cu and Cr. The aluminum-alginate complex was found in the sorption solution of raw and protonated biomass. Most of Cu, Al and light metals sorbed in the biomass were eluted at pH 1.1. However, only 5 to 10% of Cr sorbed was eluted at pH 1.1. The stoiceometric ion exchange between Cu and Ca ion was observed on Cu biosorption with Ca-loaded biomass. A part of Cr ion was bound to biomass as Cr(OH)2+ or Cr(OH)2+. Al was also bound to biomass as multi-valence ion and interfered with the desorbed Ca ion. The behavior of raw S. fluitans in ten consecutive sorption-desorption cycles has been investigated in a packed bed flow-through-column during a continuous removal of copper from a 35 mg/L aqueous solution at pH 5. The eluant used was a 1%(w/v) CaCl2/HC solution at pH 3.

A new method for the simultaneous determination of heavy metal ions in cigarette material by microwave digestion and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) has been developed. The cigarette material was digested by microwave digestion. Lead, cadmium, mercury, nickel and tin ions in the digested samples were pre-column derivatized with tetra-(2-chlorophenyl)-porphyrin ($T_2$-CPP) to form color chelates, which were then enriched by solid phase extraction with a $C_{18}$ cartridge. The chelates were separated on a Waters Xterra$^{TM}RP_{18}$ column by gradient elution with methanol (containing 0.05 mol/L pyrrolidine-aceticacid buffer salt, pH = 10.0) and acetone (containin0.05 mol/L pyrrolidine-acetic acid buffer salt, pH = 10.0)as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.5mL/min and analyzed with a photodiode array detector from 350-600 nm. The detection limits of lead, cadmium, mercury, nickel and tin were 4,3,3,8 and 5 ng/L, respectively, in the original samples. This method was afforded good results.

A photovoltaic powered ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis system was tested with a number of natural groundwaters in Australia. The objective of this study was to compare system performance at six remote field locations by assessing the impact of water composition and fluctuating energy on inorganic contaminant removal using a BW30-4040 membrane. Solar irradiance directly affected pressure and flow. Groundwater characteristics (including TDS, salts, heavy metals, and pH), impacted other performance parameters such as retention, specific energy consumption and flux. During continual system operation, retention of ions such as $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ was high (> 95%) with each groundwater which can be attributed to steric exclusion. The retention of smaller ions such as $NO_3{^-}$ was affected by weather conditions and groundwater composition, as convection/diffusion dominate retention. When solar irradiance was insufficient or fluctuations too great for system operation, performance deteriorated and retention dropped significantly (< 30% at Ti Tree). Groundwater pH affected flux and retention of smaller ions ($NO_3{^-}$ and $F^-$) because charge repulsion increases with pH. The results highlight variations in system performance (ion retention, flux, specific energy consumption) with real solar irradiance, groundwater composition, and pH conditions.

Pollutants from urban pavement consists various kinds of substances which are originated from dry deposition, a grind out tire, corrosive action of rain to pavement and facilities and raw materials of the road etc.. These are major pollutants of urban NPS (Non-point source) during rainfall period. However there is not enough information to control such pollutants for appropriate management of natural water quality. In this study of transportation areas, three monitoring stations were set up at trunk road, urban highway and national road in Gyeongnam province. Runoff flow rate was measured at every 15minutes by automatic flow meters installed at the end of storm sewer pipe within the road catchment area for water quality analysis. Data was collected every 15 minutes for initial two hours of rainfall. Additional samples were collected 1-4 hours interval till the end of rainfall. The monitoring parameters were $COD_{Mn}$, SS, T-N & T-P and heavy metals. The average EMCs of TSS and $COD_{Mn}$ were 62.0 mg/L and 24.2 mg/L on the city trunk road, which were higher than those of urban highway and national road, indicating higher pollutant loads due to activities in the city downtown area beside the vehicle. On the other hand, the average EMC of T-N and T-P were in the range of 2.67-3.23 mg/L and 0.19-3.21 mg/L for all the sampling sites. Heavy metals from the roads were mainly Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn, showing variable EMCs by the type of road. From the TSS wash-off analysis in terms of FF(first flush) index, first flush phenomenon was clearly observed in the trunk road(FF : 0.89-1.43). However, such mass delivery behavior was not apparently shown in urban highway(FF : 0.90-1.11) and national road(FF : 0.81-1.41).
