In present study, we geochemically investigated the fresh coal ashes and the saline ash pond of an electric power plant in Korea, which burns imported bituminous coals. The goals are to see the chemical changes of the ash pond by reaction with coal ashes and to investigate the relative leachability of elements from the ashes by reaction with saline waters. For this study, one fresh fly ash, one fresh bottom ash, and 7 water samples were collected. All the ash samples and 2 water samples were analyzed for 55 elements. The results indicated that the fly ashes are enriched with chalcophilic elements such as Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, Se, Cd, Sb, Au, Pb, and B relative to other elements. On the other hand, concentrations of As, Ba, Co, Ga, Li, Mn, Mo, Sb, U, V, W, and Zr are much higher in the ash pond than those dissolved in the seawater. Ag, Bi, Li, Mo, Rb, Sb, Sc, Se, Sn, Sr, and W show high ratios of elemental concentrations in pond water to those in the fly ash. Our results imply that the leaching of trace elements is regulated by geochemical controls such as solubility and adsorption even though the trace elements are relatively enriched on the ash surfaces after the coal combustion due to their volatilities.

The Kuroko-type seafloor massive sulfide deposits found in the western Pacific have been considered to have potentials for economic recovery of Au, Ag, Cu, Zn, and Pb. In this study, a preliminary model was developed for the technical and economic evaluation of them. The FRSC site on Lau Basin in the Tonga EEZ was selected as a target. In this study, no construction In for the metallurgical processing subsystem was accounted for. Instead, it was assumed to sell the Cu, Zn, and Pb concentrates to the existing sulfide customer smelter. The low total investment costs for the development make the venture very attractive. However, the result of the economic feasibility evaluation is still less attractive with the mean metal yield of the Kuroko on land. It is considered that commercial mining may be plausible if the richer metal yields are applied to the development. Quantitative information for metal yield is necessary for a more accurate evaluation. However, the important resource potential information regarding the amount of ore body, the inside structure, and the metal yields have not yet been clarified sufficiently. h addition, the flotation of ore body using seawater has not been tested yet. It is necessary to solve these problems through the experimental R&D and a survey.

기존 진단용 Digital X-ray Detector이 직접방식에서는 a-Se (Amorphous Selenium)이 대중화되었지만 고전압을 인가하여야한다는 점과 그로 인한 물질 자체의 Life time 감소 등 여러 단점들 때문에 기타 후보물질들로 HgI2, PbI2, PbO, CdTe, CdZnTe가 연구 되고 있다. 이러한 후보 물질들 중 본 연구에서는 PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition)방식을 이용하여 Polycrystalline CdTe 박막을 제작하고 특성 향상을 위해 유전물질을 Passive layer와 Protect layer로써 증착하였다. 또한 유전체층의 위치에 따른 특성 분석을 위해 제작된 박막은 FE-SEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope), XRD (X-ray Diffraction)을 통해 구조적인 특성을 확인하였다. 그리고 입사되는 X-ray 선량에 의해 생성되는 전기적 특성을 분석하였다, 그 결과 박막의 Grain Size는 약 $5{\mu}M$이며 (111)방향의 주 peak를 띄는 Poly CdTe형태로 증착된 것을 확인하였다. 전기적인 신호 결과 Passive layer와 Protect layer를 증착한 박막 모두 Darkcurrent가 감소된 것을 확인하였다. 또한 Sensitivity 측정 결과 Passive layer를 삽입한 경우 신호 값이 감소하였으며 Protect layer를 삽입한 경우 신호 값의 변화가 일어나지 않았다. 그러므로 Protect layer를 등착한 박막의 경우 SNR이 현저히 높아지는 결과를 낳았다.

The purpose of this study was to characterize background mass concentration of PM$_{10}$ and metallic composition from September 2001 to August 2002 in comparison with Asan and Seoul. Annual mean of PM$_{10}$ concentrations in Asan and Seoul were 47.98 and 75.33$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥, respectively. The concentrations of PM$_{10}$ were highest in spring season in both cities. The concentrations of measured metals except for As and Pb in Asan were higher than those in Seoul. Yellow dust could affect the mass and metals concentrations of measured PM$_{10}$ in Asan and Seoul. Relationship between measured metals concentrations showed that Si and Fe were associated with natural sources such as soil. Pb, Cu and Zn were closely related to urban anthropogenic sources such as fuel combustion. Especially, relationship between metals showed different association during yellow dust. Proper management for PM$_{10}$ will need in Asan, considered the concentrations of metallic elements in PM$_{10}$ in Asan were relatively higher than those in Seoul.se in Seoul.

Laboratory experiments for the removal efficiency of heavy metals in land application of sludge, the accumulation and translocation of heavy metals in x plants after transplanting, and the responses of Minari growth with different ratio of land application of sludge were conducted to determine the potential ability of bioremediation with Minari plants. The removal rate and translocation of copper. zinc. lead. and cadmium in soil and plants were compared after transplanting the Minari plants to soil treated with different ratio of sludge. The removal efficiency of heavy metals in soil incorporated with sludge was different with application ratio, but increased with growing periods of Minari plants. The removal efficiency of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd ranged from 67 to 74% from 51% to 63%, from 37% to 71%. and from 15% to 25% after 45 days of transplanting. respectively. The amount removed the copper value. 65.9 mg/kg, observed to be highest in soil incorporated 3% sludge after 45 days. The translocation of Cu. Zn. Pb. and Cd from shoots to roots ranged from 18 to 53%, from 17 to 32%, from 14 to 49%, and from 23 to 38% over growing periods. respectively. In plant responses it appeared to be inhibited the plant growth in the treatment compared with the control at early stage of growth. However, the fresh weights of Minari plant increased from 12.5 to 62.5% in the sludge application after 45 days relative to the control. Therefore the Minari might play a useful role in bioremediation of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd in the land application of sludge.
