The physico-chemical properties of kapok fibers were altered via the combination processes of chlorite-periodate oxidation, in order to assess their efficacy as a heavy metal adsorbent. The chemically-oxidized kapok fibers were found to harbor a certain amount of polysaccharides, together with lowered lignin content. This alteration in lignin characteristics was clearly confirmed via FTIR and NBO yield. Moreover, chemically oxidized kapok fibers retained their hollow tube shape, although some changes were noted. The chemically oxidized kapok fibers evidenced elevated ability to adsorb heavy metal ions with the best fit for the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Three cycles of adsorption-desorption were conducted with in-between regeneration steps. Our experimental results indicated that chemically oxidized kapok fibers possessed excellent adsorption characteristics, and the modified kapok fibers could be completely regenerated with almost equimolar diluted sodium hydroxide. Pb, Cu, Cd and Zn ions evidenced adsorption rates of 93.55%, 91.83%, 89.75%, and 92.85% on the chemically oxidized kapok fibers. The regeneration efficiency showed 73.58% of Pb, 71.55% of Cu, 66.87% of Cd, and 75.00% of Zn for 3rd cycle with 0.0125N NaOH.

Micropollutants emerge in surface water through untreated discharge from sewage and wastewater treatment plants (STPs and WWTPs). Most micropollutants resist the conventional systems in place at water treatment plants (WTPs) and survive the production of tap water. In particular, pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors (ECDs) are micropollutants frequently detected in drinking water. In this review, we summarized the distribution of micropollutants at WTPs and also scrutinized the effectiveness and mechanisms for their removal at each stage of drinking water production. Micropollutants demonstrated clear concentrations in the final effluents of WTPs. Although chronic exposure to micropollutants in drinking water has unclear adverse effects on humans, peer reviews have argued that continuous accumulation in water environments and inappropriate removal at WTPs has the potential to eventually affect human health. Among the available removal mechanisms for micropollutants at WTPs, coagulation alone is unlikely to eliminate the pollutants, but ionized compounds can be adsorbed to natural particles (e.g. clay and colloidal particles) and metal salts in coagulants. Hydrophobicities of micropollutants are a critical factor in adsorption removal using activated carbon. Disinfection can reduce contaminants through oxidation by disinfectants (e.g. ozone, chlorine and ultraviolet light), but unidentified toxic byproducts may result from such treatments. Overall, the persistence of micropollutants in a treatment system is based on the physico-chemical properties of chemicals and the operating conditions of the processes involved. Therefore, monitoring of WTPs and effective elimination process studies for pharmaceuticals and ECDs are required to control micropollutant contamination of drinking water.

To investigate the biodegradation of the cellulose powder(CP) derived from Styela clava tunics(SCT), some physico-chemical properties and biodegradability of SCT-CP were measured after the incubation for 45 days. The particles size of SCT-CP prepared with washing, bleaching, drying, and grinding processes was $150-400{\mu}m$ although most of particles (70%) was more than $400{\mu}m$. The cellulose structures of SCT-CP detected using the X-ray diffraction and DSC analysis was very similar with that of wood pulp powder(WP-CP). The glass transition temperature was not detected in both samples. Furthermore, more than 90% of the SCT-CP was degraded, whereas only over 70% of the WP-CP was degraded after the incubation for 45 days. Therefore, these results suggest the possibility that SCT-CP is particularly applicable to prepare medical fiber and film for disease treatment.

To investigate latitudinal variations in the zooplankton community along the meridian line ($5^{\circ}N-12^{\circ}N$, $131.5^{\circ}W$), we measured temperature, salinity, nitrate, chlorophyll-a and zooplankton at depths above 200 m from July $10^{th}$ to $25^{th}$, 2003. For comparative analysis, data of the physico-chemical properties and chl-a were matched to the two sampling depths (surface mixed layer and thermocline depth-200 m) of zooplankton. Latitudinal differences in the mesozooplankton distribution were mainly influenced by divergence formed at a boundary line formed by currents of opposing directions, consisting of North Equatorial Current (NEC) and North Equatorial Counter Current (NECC). High concentrations of chl-a south of $9^{\circ}N$, caused by equatorial upwelling related nutrients, is thought to be affected by the role of this divergence barrier, supported by relatively low concentrations in waters north of $9^{\circ}N$. The latitudinal differences of the chl-a were significantly associated with the major groups of zooplankton, namely calanoid and cyclopoid copepods, appendicularians, ostracods, chaetognaths, invertebrate larvae, and others. And temperature significantly affected the latitudinal variation of radiolarians, siphonophores, salps and immature copepods. The latitudinal differences in the two factors, temperature and chl-a, which explained 71.0% of the total zooplankton variation, were characterized by the equatorial upwelling as well as the divergence at $9^{\circ}N$. The physical characteristics also affected the community structure and abundance of zooplankton as well as average ratios of cyclopoid versus calanoid copepods. The abundance of dominant copepods, which were consistent with chl-a, were often associated with the carnivorous zooplankton chaetognaths, implying the relative importance of bottom-up regulation from physical properties to predatory zooplankton during the study period. These results suggested that latitudinal distribution of zooplankton is primarily controlled by current-related divergences, while biological processes are of secondary importance in the northeastern Equatorial Pacific during the study period in question.

This paper presents PKES(PuKyung -Excel based Simulator) for WWTPs(wastewater treatment plants) by using MS Excel and VBA(Visual Basic for Application). PKES is a user-friendly simulator for the design and optimization of the whole plant including biological and physico-chemical processes for the wastewater and sludge treatment. PKES calculates the performance under steady or dynamic state and allows changing the mathematical model by the user. Mathematical model implemented in PKES is a improved integration model based on ASM2d and ADM1 for simulation of AS(activated sludge) and AD(anaerobic digestion). Gaseous components of $N_2$, $N_2O$, $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ are added for estimation of GHGs(greenhouse gases) emission. The simulation results for comparison between PKES and Aquasim(EAWAG) showed about the same effluent concentrations. As a result of verification using by measured data of BOD, TSS, TN and TP for 2 years of operation, calculated effluent concentrations were similar to measured effluent concentrations. The values of average RMSE(root mean square error) were 1.9, 0.8, 1.6 and 0.2 mg/L for BOD, TSS, TN and TP, respectively. Total GHGs emission of WWTP calculated by PKES was 138.5 ton-$CO_2$/day and GHGs emissions of $N_2O$, $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ were calculated at 21.7, 28.9 and 87.9 ton-$CO_2$/day, respectively. GHGs emission of activated sludge was 32.5 % and that of anaerobic digestion was 67.5 %.

Mineral assemblages, mineral chemistries and stable isotope compositions of altered rocks of the Ogmae, Seongsan, Haenam and Gusi mines near the Haenam volcanic field in the southwestern part of the Korea peninsula were studied. Characteristic hydrothermal alteration zones in these deposits occurring in the Cretaceous volcanics and volcanogenic sediments, acidic tuff, and rhyolite, were outlined. Genetic environment with particular reference to the spatial and temporal relationships for these deposits were considered. The alteration zones defined by a mineral assemblage in the Ogmae and Seongsan deposits can be classified as alunite, pyrophyllite, kaolinite or dickite, quartz, illite or illite/smectite. Alunite was not developed in the Gusi and Haenam deposits. Boundaries between the adjacent zones are always gradational except for vein-type alunite. Alteration zones are superimposed upon each other in some localities. These deposits formed $71.8{\pm}2.8{\sim}76.6{\pm}2.9$ Ma ago, which is the almost same age of later volcanic rocks $79.4{\pm}1.7{\sim}82.8{\pm}1.2$ Ma, the Haenam Group, corresponding to Campanian. It indicates that hydrothermal alteration of these deposits appeared to be related to felsic volcanism in the area. Consideration of the stability between kaolinite, alunite, pyrite and pyrophyllite, and the geothermometry based on the mineral chemistry of illite and chlorite suggests that the maximum formation temperature for alunite and pyrophyllite can be estimated at about $250^{\circ}C$ and $240{\sim}290^{\circ}C$, respectively. It also suggests that these deposits were formed by acidic sulfate solution with high aqueous silica and potassium activity in a shallow depth environment. Compositional variation of alunite also suggests that the physico-chemical conditions fluctulated considerably during alteration processes, indicating shallow depth environment. The Haenam deposit was formed at a relatively greater depth than the others. The sulfur isotope composition of alunite and pyrite indicates that sulfur probably had a magmatic source, and the oxygen isotope composition for kaolinite indicates that the magmatic hydrothermal solution was diluted by circulating meteoric water.

고래불 해안사구에서 2012년 6월에 염생식물의 공간분포에 영향을 주는 요인을 분석하였다. 해안에 인접하여 일차사구가 그리고 초본식생과 송림이 만나는 경계선에 2차사구가 형성되어 있다. 고래불 사구에서 염생식물은 크게 전사구와 사구저지에 분포하는 갯그령, 통보리사초, 갯메꽃, 갯씀바귀 및 갯방풍의 한 그룹, 사구저지에 주로 분포하는 갯완두와 왕잔디의 두 번째 그룹, 그리고 배후사구인 송림 내에 분포하는 곰솔, 순비기나무 및 해란초의 세 번째 그룹으로 구분할 수 있다. 해안으로부터 거리에 따른 염생식물의 분포는 갯씀바귀 - 갯그령 - 통보리사초 - 갯메꽃 - 갯방풍 - 왕잔디 - 갯완두 - 해란초 - 순비기나무의 순이었다. 모래의 이동이 많아서 사구 내에서 비교적 불안정하고 변화가 많은 서식지에는 갯그령, 통보리사초, 갯메꽃, 갯씀바귀 및 갯방풍이 주로 분포하였다. 순비기나무는 안정된 서식지에 분포하였다. 고래불 사구에서 염생식물의 분포에 가장 중요하게 영향을 주는 요인은 해안으로부터 거리, 지형 그리고 송림의 분포라고 결론지을 수 있다. 고래불 사구는 상대적으로 인간의 간섭이 적고 식생이 잘 보전된 지역이다. 따라서 다른 사구 지역에 비해 인간의 간섭보다는 자연적인 과정들에 의한 물리화학적 요인들의 상이한 분포가 염생식물의 공간분포에 더욱 중요하다. 고래불 사구에서 중요한 자연적인 과정들은 파랑에 의한 해안선의 전진과 후퇴, 바람과 파랑으로 인한 모래의 침식과 퇴적 그리고 해수의 산포이다.

몇 가지 키토산 비드들을 W/O 에멀젼법과 capillary extrusion법에 의해 제조하여, SEM 사진을 통해 표면 구조와 표면적의 차이를 관찰하였고, BET법으로 표면적을 측정하였으며, 피크린산 적정에 의해 유효 아민함량을 측정하여 상기 결과들과의 상관관계를 알아 보았다. W/O 에멀젼법에 의해 제조한 비드의 경우 capillary extrusion법에 의해 제조된 비드들보다 입자의 크기가 작았으며, 반대로 표면적, 유효 아민함량은 높게 나타났다. 또한 비드의 표면적, 유효 아민함량, 겉보기 밀도(apparent density) 및 기계적 강도(hardness)는 제조시 건조방법에 따라 매우 큰 편차를 나타내었다. Hardness 측정결과 solvent dehydration법에 의해 건조된 비드들이 동결건조법에 의해 건조된 비드들에 비해 높은 강도를 나타내었다. 또한 겉보기 밀도에 있어서도 solvent dehydration한 비드들이 동결건조한 비드들에 비해 높은 겉보기 밀도를 보였다. SEM 사진 분석결과 solvent dehydration법에 의한 비드들은 매우 작은 pore들이 비드의 표면에 무수히 존재한 반면 동결건조한 비드에서는 벌집모양의 pore들이 존재하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 피크린산 적정결과 solvent dehydration한 비드의 경우 동결건조한 비드보다 약 10배의 높은 유효 아민함량을 나타내었으며 비드의 표면적이 클수록 유효 아민함랑은 높게 나타났다. 또한 fluorescamine을 반응시킨 후 형광현미경으로 관찰하여 비드의 표면과 내부의 pore 주위에 노출된 1차 아민의 존재를 정성적으로 확인할 수 있었다.
