The sequential separation process, composed of an oxygen sparging process for separating lanthanides and a zone freezing process for separating Group I and II fission products, was evaluated and tested with a surrogate eutectic waste salt generated from pyroprocessing of used metal nuclear fuel. During the oxygen sparging process, the used lanthanide chlorides (Y, Ce, Pr and Nd) were converted into their sat-insoluble precipitates, over 99.5% at $800^{\circ}C$; however, Group I (Cs) and II (Sr) chlorides were not converted but remained within the eutectic salt bed. In the next process, zone freezing, both precipitation of lanthanide precipitates and concentration of Group I/II elements were preformed. The separation efficiency of Cs and Sr increased with a decrease in the crucible moving speed, and there was little effect of crucible moving speed on the separation efficiency of Cs and Sr in the range of a 3.7 - 4.8 mm/hr. When assuming a 60% eutectic salt reuse rate, over 90% separation efficiency of Cs and Sr is possible, but when increasing the eutectic salt reuse rate to 80%, a separation efficiency of about 82 - 86 % for Cs and Sr was estimated.

In this study, the sensitivity analysis of hydraulic conductivity and separation distance (distance between injection well and pumping well) was analyzed by establishing a conceptual model considering the hydrogeologic characteristics of facility agricultural complex in Korea. In the conceptual model, natural characteristics (topography and geology, precipitation, hydraulic conductivity, etc.) and artificial characteristics (separation distance from injection well to pumping well, injection rate and pumping rate, etc.) is entered, and sensitivity analysis was performed 12 scenarios using a combination of hydraulic conductivity ($10^{-1}cm/sec$, $10^{-2}cm/sec$, $10^{-3}cm/sec$, $10^{-4}cm/sec$) and separation distance (10 m, 50 m, 100 m). Groundwater drawdown at the monitoring well was increased as the hydraulic conductivity decreased and the separation distance increased. From the regression analysis of groundwater drawdown as a hydraulic conductivity at the same separation distance, it was found that the groundwater level fluctuation of artificial recharge aquifer was dominantly influenced by hydraulic conductivity. In the condition that the hydraulic conductivity of artificial recharge aquifer was $10^{-2}cm/sec$ or more, the radius of influence of groundwater level was within 20 m, but In the condition that the hydraulic conductivity is $10^{-3}cm/sec$ or less, it is confirmed that the radius of influence of groundwater increases sharply as the separation distance increases.

This study was conducted to clarify runoff production processes in forested catchment through hydrograph separation using three-component mixing model based on the End Member Mixing Analysis (EMMA) model. The study area is located in the coniferous-forested experimental catchment, Gwangneung Gyeonggido near Seoul, Korea (N 37 45', E 127 09'). This catchment is covered by Pinus Korainensis and Abies holophylla planted at stocking rate of 3,000 trees $ha^{-1}$ in 1976. Thinning and pruning were carried out two times in the spring of 1996 and 2004 respectively. We monitored 8 successive events during the periods from June 15 to September 15, 2005. Throughfall, soil water and groundwater were sampled by the bulk sampler. Stream water was sampled every 2-hour through ISCO automatic sampler for 48 hours. The geochemical tracers were determined in the result of principal components analysis. The concentrations of $SO_4{^{2-}$ and $Na^+$ for stream water almost were distributed within the bivariate plot of the end members; throughfall, soil water and groundwater. Average contributions of throughfall, soil water and groundwater on producing stream flow for 8 events were 17%, 25% and 58% respectively. The amount of antecedent precipitation (AAP) plays an important role in determining which end members prevail during the event. It was found that ground water contributed more to produce storm runoff in the event of a small AAP compared with the event of a large AAP. On the other hand, rain water showed opposite tendency to ground water. Rain water in storm runoff may be produced by saturation overland flow occurring in the areas where soil moisture content is near saturation. AAP controls the producing mechanism for storm runoff whether surface or subsurface flow prevails.

본 연구에서는 분포형 수문모형 SWAT-K를 사용한 함양률을 산정하고 이를 뒷받침하기 위해 유역 내에서 실제로 관측한 수문곡선 자료를 기반으로 기저유출 분리법을 이용하여 함양량 산정의 타당성을 평가하였다. 통상 지하수 개발가능량 산정 시 10년 빈도 갈수 시 강수량에 평균함양률을 곱하여 실무에 활용하고 있으나, 실제로 함양률은 강수량이 작을수록 작아지는 경향을 보이기 때문에 평균 함양률을 사용하게 되면 개발가능량이 과다 산정될 가능성이 높다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 강수량 규모를 고려한 함양량으로 함양률을 재산정하여 개발가능량을 산정하였다. 이 방법을 의왕·과천·성남시에 적용한 결과 소유역별 개발가능량은 기존 방법 대비 55.5~77.6%로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

Separation and recovery of valuable metals such as zinc, nickel or tin from copper alloy dross has recently attracted from the viewpoints of environmental protection and resource recycling. In this report, preliminary study on concentration and separation of tin from copper alloy dross using selective dissolution method was performed. The tin in the copper alloy dross did not dissolve in the nitric acid solution which could allow the concentration and separation of the tin from the copper alloy dross. Precipitation of tin as $H_2SnO_3$ (metastannic acid) occurred in the solution and transformed to tin dioxide ($SnO_2$) after drying process. The dried sample was heat-treated at low temperature and its phase characteristics, surface morphology and chemical composition were investigated.

SCR 폐촉매의 소다배소-수침출 용액으로부터 바나듐과 텅스텐을 분리하기 위한 기초연구를 수행하였다. 침출용액을 모사한 바나듐 $1g{\cdot}L^{-1}$, 텅스텐 $10g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 합성 알칼리 용액에 NaOH 농도와 $CaCl_2$ 첨가량에 따른 바나듐과 텅스텐의 침전거동을 조사하였다. 또한 이를 바탕으로 반응표면법을 통해 바나듐과 텅스텐의 칼슘 침전에 의한 분리 최적조건을 구하였다. 그 결과 칼슘 침전물로의 반응속도 차이에 기인하여 용액의 온도가 낮으면 바나듐만 선택적으로 침전되었고, 온도가 높아지면 텅스텐 또한 침전되었다. 바나듐과 텅스텐은 NaOH 농도가 높아짐에 따라 침전율이 낮아지며 또한 과량의 칼슘 첨가는 용액의 pH를 낮추어 바나듐과 텅스텐의 침전반응을 촉진시켰다. 반응표면법 분석결과 바나듐과 텅스텐의 분리의 최적조건은 293 K에서 $0.5mol{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NaOH, $CaCl_2$ 1 당량 이며, 이 때 바나듐과 텅스텐의 침전율은 각각 99.5%와 0.0%를 나타냈다.

An effective purification method was developed for producing Homoharringtonine (HHT), to guarantee high purity and yield from Cephalotaxus koreana. This process was a simple and efficient procedure, for the isolation and purification of HHT form the biomass of Cephalotaxus koreana, consisting of extract, adsorbent treatment, precipitation and followed by a chromatography. The extraction, adsorbent treatment and precipitation in pre-purification process allows for rapid and efficient separation of HHT from many compound and dramatically increases the yield and purity of crude HHT for HPLC purification steps compared to alternative processes. This purification processes serves to minimize solvent usage, size, and complexity of the operations for HHT purification.

This research was conducted in the laboratory to investigate an alternative of Copper(Cu) removal from an heavymetal wastewater using the electrochemical precipitation(ECP) process. The ECP unit consisted of an electrolytic cell made of Titanium plate and Steel plate representing anode and cathode. The DC power source applied to the ECP unit had electrical potential(E) of 50$\pm$ 1V, respectively. The synthetic wastewater used in the experiments contained Cu in the 10 mg/l concentration and the electrode separation were 2, 3, 4 cm and the initial pH were 3, 6, 9, 12, and electrolytic concentration were 0.005, 0.0125, 0.025, 0.0375 mole, and the real heavymetal wastewater used in the experiments. From the experiment for removal efficiency according to pH variation, the low pH area doesn't give the coagulation effect by Ti(OH)$_4$ because process interfere with the coagulation and oxidation reaction, therefore the optimum pH was 4-7. The removal rate was 97.75% after the lapse of 30 minutes when copper concentration and electrolytic concentration were respectively 10 mg/l and 0.025 mole. The removal rate was 96.41% after the lapse of 30minutes when the real heavymetal wastewater used. The optimum consumption of power showed 27KWh/m$^3$ when copper concentration, electrolyte concentration and cell potential were respectively 10 mg/l, 0.025 mole and 50$\pm$ 1 Volt.
