This study investigated the purification process of groundwater contaminated with zinc and arsenic using a permeable reactive barrier with a zero-valent iron/pumice mixture. We determined the removal rates of the contaminants for 30 days. In this study, column reactor filled with the zero-valent iron/pumice reactive mixture was used. Experimental results showed that the mixture exhibited an almost complete removal of the zinc and arsenic ions. Arsenic was removed via co-precipitation and adsorption processes while zinc ions were asorbed in active sites.The purification process of water from the metal ionscontinued for 30 days with constant hydraulic conductivity because of the enhanced porosity of the pumice and interparticle distance between the zero-valent iron and pumice. Contaminants removal rates and the remediation mechanism for each reactive system are described in this paper.

Bacillus Anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax. The major virulence factors are a poly-D glutamic acid capsule and three-protein component exotoxin, which is collectively known as anthrax toxin, protective antigen (PA, 83 kDa), lethal factor (LF, 90 kDa), and edema factor (EF, 89 kDa). These three proteins individually have no known toxic activities, but in combination with PA form two toxins (lethal toxin and edema toxin), causing different pathogenic responses in animals and cultured cells. However, it remains to be elucidated for pathogenic mechanism of anthrax toxin. In this study, we constructed toxin component in bacterial overexpression system and purified the native toxin from Bacillus anthracis delta sterne F32 using FPLC system. Recombinant toxin showed high homogeneity and rapid purification processes. Also, this recombinant toxin was comparable to B. anthracis native toxin in terms of cytotoxic effects on cultured cell lines.

A lysozyme gene from breast of Tibetan sheep was successfully expressed by secretion using a-factor signal sequence in the methylotrophic yeast, Pichia pastoris GS115. An expression yield and specific activity greater than 500 mg/L and 4,000 U/mg was obtained. Results at optimal pH and temperature showed recombinant lysozyme has higher lytic activity at pH 6.5 and $45^{\circ}C$. This study demonstrates the successful expression of recombinant lysozyme using the eukaryotic host organism P. pastoris paving the way for protein engineering. Additionally, this study shows the feasibility of subsequent industrial manufacture of the enzyme with this expression system together with a high purity scheme for easy high-yield purification.

미세먼지는 대기를 타고 호흡기를 거쳐 폐 혹은 혈관에 침투 한다. 최근 미세먼지 문제 때문에 국내에 공기청정기 수요도 급증하고 있다. 이끼는 가장 오래된 지상식물로 중금속과 미세먼지를 흡착하여 분해하는 성질을 가지고 있는 것으로 알려졌고 본 연구진은 이를 활용하여 화학적 필터를 대체 할 수 있는 시스템에 대해 연구하였다. 이끼와 기존 화학적 필터(Hepa)의 미세먼지 감소 효과를 비교하기 위하여 $1m^3$의 큐브를 제작하고 통제된 환경하에서 미세먼지의 감소량을 비교하였다. 미세먼지 상황 하에서 이끼, 헤파, 무필터를 탑재한 공기정화 시스템을 각 30회씩 총 90회 가동 하였고 각각의 미세먼지 감소량 및 감소율을 비교한 결과 감소량은 미세먼지 이끼필터를 사용한 평균이 138.93으로 헤파필터를 사용한 평균 76.57과 무필터 상태의 평균인 0.10보다 유의하게 높았으며 감소율의 평균 역시 이끼필터를 사용한 경우 0.2379로 헤파필터를 사용한 경우의 0.1298이나 무필터인 0.0063보다 유의하게 높았다. 이 결과를 통해 이끼의 미세먼지 감소효과를 확인하였고 향후 개선을 통해 기존 공기정화기의 화학필터를 대체하거나 보조할 것으로 기대된다.

The application of appropriate technologies in a developing country is an opportunity to introduce green technology which may lead people to imagine a better life. This point is at the intersection of appropriate technology and sustainable development. This research focuses on Hatphain village where there is no clean water, sewage system, or power lines. Two environmental technologies (an unpowered water purification system, Ongdalsaem and an eco-toilet system, BeeVi toilet) were introduced, based on the concepts of the environmental self- sustainable village and feces Standard Money (fSM). We found that the Ongdalsaem was effective in reducing the concentration of nitrogen and lead in the water in Hatphain. The BeeVi water-free toilet was installed, allowing urine and feces to be separated and used as compost. We strived to spread ideas of sustainability using new eco-circulation experiences and encouraging learning about environmental technology through practical and playing facilities that residents managed themselves.

This study was conducted to analyze the cost effectiveness in line with total phosphorus standard enforcement of public sewage treatment facilities. The additional cost for the total phosphorus removal process was calculated to analyze the cost effectiveness of the advanced water purification process. The analysis results showed that the T-P removal by coagulation sedimentation was more efficient than the advanced water purification facilities in terms of facilities investment cost, and if the coagulation filteration was used for T-P removal, the activated carbon process among the advanced water purification techniques was more efficient in terms of facilities investment cost. In this study, the effects of the T-P removal process that will be additionally introduced according to the tightening of the effluent T-P standard were analyzed within a limit. The actual benefits of improved T-P concentration in the water source will provide diverse values, including the leisure water, environment improvement water, eco-system in the water source and industrial water, in addition to the advanced water purification.

Autotaxin(ATX) was originally purified from conditioned media of A2058 human melanoma cells and shown to be a potent cell motility-stimulating factor, possessing a type II nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (NPP2) activity. Recombinant ATX has recently demonstrated that human plasma lysophosholipase D is identical to ATX and uses lysophosphatidylcholine as a substrate to mediate various biological functions including tumor cell growth and motility through G-protein coupled receptor. However, despite pivotal roles of ATX on physiological or pathophysiological states, the production of ATX is solely depends on complicated purification method which employs multiple column steps, but resulted in very poor yield. This limited the use of ATX for extensive analysis. We, therefore, expressed six histidine-tagged recombinant human ATX(His-ATX) in High Five TM insect cells to improve the generation of ATX and to make simple the purification of ATX. The signal sequence of the human ATX gene was truncated and replaced with sequence of insect cell secretion signal within expression vector. In addition, codons for six histidines were added to the C-termini of 120kDa ATX cDNA construct. A simple purification scheme utilizing two-step affinity column chromatography was designed to purify His-ATX to homogeneity from the culture supernatant of transfected insect cells. Homogenous His-ATX was detected and isolated from the concentrated insect cell medium using concanavalin A agarose and nickel affinity chromatography. Purified His-ATX was in full length with ATX capacity. A combination of this expression system and purification scheme would be useful for production and purification of high-quality functional ATX for research and practical application of multiple functional motogen, ATX/NPP-2.

Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) uses large amount of SF₆, one of the potent greenhouse gases, in electric equipment for electrical insulation. KEPCO is developing SF₆ recovery and purification technology to minimize the release of SF₆ into the environment, to secure certified emission reduction, and to save purchase cost of new SF₆ by reusing the refined SF₆. A prototype SF₆ purification system using cryogenic solidification technology has been built in demonstration scale. To evaluate the feasibility of the commercialization, the system has been operated to purify large amount of used SF₆ in a long-term operation and the performance has been economically evaluated. The system was stable enough for commercial operation such that it was able to purify 5.4 tons of used SF₆ from power transmission equipment in 2-month operation. Over 99% of the SF₆ was recovered from the used gas and the purity of the purified gas was over 99.7 vol%. The operation cost, which is the cost of refrigerant (liquid nitrogen), electricity and labor, per kilogram of purified SF₆ was 6,526 KRW. Considering the price of new SF₆ in Korea is about 15,000 KRW per kilogram this year, about 56% of the purchase cost can be saved.
