The purpose of th this study was to determine an adsorption capaty of cesium by domestic zeolite, clinoptilolite, which has adsorption selectivity and resistence to radiolytic degradation, and to find the operation of column packed natural or Na cinoptiloite. The exchange capacity of cesium was 0, 875 m eq-per gram of clinopilolite. Na clinoptilolite was mire effective for cesium removal than naturl clioptilolite. Then, the results show that the domestic cilnoptilolite activated with sodium hydroxide colud be applicable for removal of cesium from liquid radwastes.

본 연구에서는 이온 크로마토그래피로 환경오염물질들을 분석하고자 할때의 단전들을 해소하기 위하여 모세관 컬럼 이온 크로마토그래피를 개발하였다. 모세관 컬럼은 두가지 형태로 개발하였는데 하나는 packed capillary 컬럼이며 다른하나는 open tubular capillary 컬럼이다. 또한 위와 같이 모세관 컬럼을 개발하여 사용하게됨을써, 부수적으로 펌프, 시료주입기, 억압장치 그리고 전도도 셀 등을 모두 적은 부피를 다룰 수 있는 구조로 바꾸어 주었다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과로 미량환경오염 물질의 분석에 모세관 컬럼 이온크로마토그래피를 이용할 수 있는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었고, 나아가 이온 크로마토그래피의 소형화로 현장에서 직접 분리, 분석을 할 수 있으리라 기대된다.

FeS, as a natural reduced iron mineral, has been recognized to be a viable reactive material for As(III) sequestration in natural and engineered systems. In this study, FeS-coated sand packed columns were tested to evaluate the As(III) removal capacities under anaerobic conditions at pH 5, 7 and 9. The column obtained As(III) removal capacity was then compared with the capacity result obtained from batch reactors. In the comparison, two different approaches were used. The first approach was used the total As(III) removal capacity which method was proved to be useful for interpreting pH 5 system. The second approach was used to consider sorption non-linearity and proved to be useful for interpreting the pH 9. The results demonstrated that a mechanistic understanding of the different removal processes at different pH conditions is important to interpret the column experimental results. At pH 5, where the precipitation of arsenic sulfide plays the major role in the removal of arsenic, the column shows a greater removal efficiency than the batch system due to the continuous dissolution of sulfide and precipitation of arsenic sulfide. At pH 9, where adsorption mainly governs the arsenic removal, the sorption nonlinearity should be considered in the estimation of the column capacity. This study highlighted the importance of understanding reaction mechanism to predict column performance using batch-obtained experimental results.

Brown algae, Sargassum horneri, was used as an adsorbent to remove heavy metal Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions. Sargassum horneri picked in East Coast was formulated into the grain with the size of 40-60 mesh after wind dry. Batch method was used in order to investigate the adsorption rate by measuring the adsorption amounts with shaking time. In the column method, the adsorption amounts were measured by flowing metal solutions into the algae-packed column at the rate of 1 ml/min. Adsorption amounts in both batch method and column method were in the following order : pH 10.5>7.0>3.5. It was found that Pb(II) was more adsorbed on the algae grain than Cd(II). It was also revealed that the adsorption amounts reached the maximum within 5 minutes irrespective of pH condition in the batch method. It was concluded that the batch method was more effective than the column method in terms of recovery rate.

This study was designed to find out the rapid fermentation of soy sauce from koji hydrolyzates using air bubble column reactor packed with coimmobilized mixed culture system. Continuous ripid production was performed by coimmobilized Z. rouxiii BH-90 and C. versatilis BH-91. Coimmobilized cells of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii BH-90 and Candida versatilis BH-91 mixture cells in the column reactor produced 2.8％ ethyl alcohol and 18mg/L 4-ethylguaiacol over 96 hours under the optimal conditions. Coimmobilized cells produced 2.30∼2.4% ethyl alcohol during 30 days, and decreased gradually from 40 days to 70 days. Also coimmobilized cells produced 4-ethylguaiacol at the constant rate of 16∼18mg/L and decreased gradually after 40 days. Final product of soy sauce contained 2.4% ethyl alcohol and 18mg/L 4-ethylguaiacol. However, amino acid compositions of soy sauce were consisted of predominantly glutamic acid, leucin, arginine, aspartic acid, Iysine and valine, which were more than 50% of total amino acid.

In order to separate the Freon-12 and air mixture$(CF_2Cl_2/Air=0.1/99.9 vol.%)$ by pressure swing adsorption (PSA), the breakthrough curve was experimentally observed in a fixed bed adsorption column. A single adsorber was packed with various adsorbents such as, the activated carbon(S-AC, W-AC) and the molecular sieve(MS-5A, MS-13X). The order of appearance of breakthrough curve is MS-5A > MS-13X > W-AC > S-AC. The activated carbon was found to be more effective adsorbent for separating Freon-12 from the mixture than the molecular sieve was. From the experimental data obtained by the separation of Freon-12 gas out of the air stream in the steady-state PSA process cycle, whose size is the same one of column used for the breakthrough curve observation, it has been confirmed that Freon-rich gas could be obtained from the purge step of PSA and Freon-free air could be obtained from the adsorption step of PSA cycle.

Iron is an essential nutrient for most organisms, which supplied to them in a protein-iron complex known as ferritin. Ferritins are multimeric proteins found in prokaryotes, plants and animals. They are consisted of spherical shell of 24 subunits defining a cavity of about 8nm in diameter, where an iron core is laid down. Expression of ferritin in recombinant E. coli at $37^{\circ}C$ led to the accumulation of recombinant ferritin. Insoluble form of ferritin was separated from disrupted cells, followed by various primary separation steps with two kinds of buffers. Collected samples from the primary steps were purified by DEAE-cellulose gels packed in a column. The fractions from the DEAE column were assayed to gain the amount and the purity of ferritin by using HPLC and SDS-PAGE.

Pesticides were extracted from samples with 70% acetone and methylene chloride in order, and then cleaned up via open-column chromatography apparatus packed with florisil, and finally analyzed simultaneously the organochlorine and pyrethroid pesticides using GC(ECD). An ultra-2 fused silica capillary column was used to separate and identify the products. The resolution between the last isomeric peak of cypermethrin(59.987min) and the first isomeric peak of flucythrinate(60.043min) was not satisfactory. The last isomeric peak of fenvalerate(62.344min) and the first isomeric peak of fluvalinate(62.397min) were overlapped. Recoveries of soybean sample fer the most pesticides were 73.3% to 102.4%. Detection limits were between 0.004 and 0.063 ${\mu}$g/mg when this method was used.

The simultaneous analytical method for 37 residual pesticides was developed by a gas chromatography with $^{63}$ Ni electron capture detector. Pesticides added in soybean sample were extracted with 70% acetone in water and methylene chloride in oder, and then cleaned up via open-column apparatus packed with florisil and alumina N. The Ultra-2 fused capillary column was used to separate the products. The resolution between the last isomeric peak of cypermethrin (56.398 min) and the first isomeric peak of flucythrinate (56.421 min) was not satisfactory and the last isomeric peak of fenvalerate(58.783 min) and the first isomeric peak of fluvalinate(58.835 min) was overlapped. Except for $\alpha$-BHC, dichlofluanid, captan, and captafol, most recoveries were showed over 70%.

Rusted iron could retain activity to redox-sensitive pollutants in batch reactor. Flow-through columns packed with permeable reactive iron filings (Fe$^{0}$ ) between soil and sand layers were used to evaluate the applicability of bio-enhanced iron barriers to treat explosives-contaminated groundwater. One column was bioaugmented with municipal anaerobic sludge to evaluate the enhancement of biodegradation. Military contaminants (RDX, HMX, TNT, 2,4DNT, 2,6DNT), which coexist in soils at military sites, were completely removed in the bioaugmented Fe$^{0}$ layer after 8 months of operation. Overall, this research suggests that Fe$^{0}$ barriers can effectively clean up groundwater contaminated with military explosives, and that treatment efficiency can be enhanced by bioaugmentation.
