The purpose of this study is to investigate characteristics of total phosphorus (TP) and phosphate phosphorous ($PO_4$-P) concentrations in ponded water and redox potential (Eh) in paddy soil during the growing season. The TP and $PO_4$-P concentrations showed twice peak values after basal dressing and tillering fertilization. The ratio of $PO_4$-P to TP showed low values (0.07~0.18), indicating that most of phosphorus is particlulate. The $PO_4$-P concentrations significantly decreased with dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations. The Eh showed high values (179~636 mV) under non-ponded aerobic condition, but low values (74~112 mV) under ponded anaerobic condition The TP and $PO_4$-P concentrations in ponded water increased shortly after tillering fertilization even if phosphorus was not applied. This may be due to the release of dissolved phosphorus from the bottom sediment and its associated algal and water flea blooms under anaerobic condition. Therefore, proper water management should be needed shortly after tillering fertilization.

Pilot wetland reactor systems to test acid mine drainage treatment efficiencies for metals were designed and operated at the Dalsung mine and surveyed the operating problems. pH and Eh (redox potential) were measured in situ and anayses of Cd, Pb, As, Zn, Cu, Fe, Al and Mn were carried out in the laboratory. Maximum metal removal efficiencies of the reactor containing the rice stalks, the cow manure and limestones were that Cu, Zn, Fe, Cd, Al, Mn and Pb were lowered by 98%, 100%, 99%, 100%, 97%, 61% and 100%, respectively and at that time the pH and Eh of the effluents from the reactor were 6 and about -300 mV. However, the redox potential was raised and removal of metal elements except aluminium was decreased with operation time. It suggests that the reduced condition is very important for the metal removal. During the operation, problems such as scaling in pipes and volume change of the substrate within the reactor occurred, which were preventing the flow of main drainage in pipes and reactor.

Anaerobic decomposition of organic material in flooded rice fields produces methane, which escapes to the atmosphere primarily by transport through the rice plants. The annual amount of $CH_4$ emitted from a given area of rice is a function of the number and duration of crops grown, water regimes before and during cultivation period, and organic and inorganic soil amendments. Soil type, temperature, and rice cultivar also affect $CH_4$ emissions. The field experiment was conducted for three years to develop methane emission factor for water regime before the cultivation period from the rice fields. It was treated with three different water regimes prior to rice cultivation, namely: non-flooded pre-season < 180 days, non-flooded pre-season > 180 days, flooded per-season in which the minimum flooding interval is set to 30 days. Methane emission increased with days after transplanting and soil redox potential (Eh) decreased rapidly after flooding during the rice cultivation. The average methane emission fluxes were $5.47kg\;CH_4\;ha^{-1}day^{-1}$in flooded pre-season > 30 days, 5.04 in non-flooded pre-season < 180 days and 4.62 in non-flooded pre-season > 180. Methane emission flux was highly correlated with soil temperature and soil Eh. Rice yields showed no difference among treatments with water regime before the cultivation period.

본 연구의 목적은 충북대학교 부속농장에서 2009년 영농기간을 중심으로 담수된 논에서의 산화환원전위(Eh)의 변화와 시비에 따라 영양물질인 인(P)의 농도변화 특성을 파악함으로써, 논으로 부터의 인의 유출제어에 관한 기초 자료를 제공하는데 있다. 이 연구는 2009년 5월부터 11월까지 논에서 담수의 총인(T-P)과 인산염 인($PO_4$-P)의 농도변화와 토양의 산화환원전위(Eh)와의 관계 특성을 파악하였다. 관개기의 논에서 인은 분얼비 시기에 인성분이 시비되지 않았는데도 불구하고 T-P농도가 0.68 mg/L로 높게 나타났다. 이는 담수의 영향으로 논이 환원상태로 되어, 논바닥에 침전된 철이온에 흡착되어 있던 인이 철이온의 환원으로 함께 용출하기 때문이라고 생각된다. 높은 Eh는 산화경향을, 낮은 Eh는 환원경향을 나타낸다. 본 연구기간 동안의 Eh 값은 연속적으로 담수되었던 7월 중순까지는 74~112 mV 가량 나타냈고, 그 이후에는 담수상태가 아닌 경우가 많아 179~636 mV로 높게 나타났다. 논 담수의 T-P와 $PO_4$-P 농도는 분얼비 직후 1주일후까지 같이 상승하다가 T-P농도는 약 2주일까지 더 상승한 반면 $PO_4$-P 농도는 하강하였는데 이는 논 토양이 환원상태로 되면서 바닥에 있던 입자성 인이 논 표면으로 떠올랐기 때문으로 사료된다. 그 후에는 담수가 끝나는 시점까지인 농도는 낮아졌다. 관개초기에 인의 농도는 비교적 높게 나타났지만, 7월 이후로는 작물의 생장에 필요한 영양물질 섭취 등으로 인 농도가 낮게 나타났는데 이는 7월 이후의 논은 인의 유출을 억제하고 있는 것으로 추정된다. 또한 논 담수위의 증감에 따른 $PO_4$-P 농도와 Eh 값을 회귀분석 한 결과 각각 정의 상관관계와 부의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 논 담수 및 시비에 따른 인의 유출부하 특성과 산화환원전위(Eh)의 변화 특성이 규명된다면, 향후 환경부하가 작은 물관리가 가능해 질 것으로 판단된다.

논에서 수질변화특성에 관한 메카니즘은 매우 복잡하다. 영양물질의 농도특성을 정확히 파악하기 위해서는 영농활동에 따른 체계적인 모니터링을 통한 다양한 측정 자료가 필요하다. 그러나 현재 논에서 토양의 산화환원에 관한 연구 자료는 많지 않기 때문에 그의 특성을 파악하기에는 어려운 실정에 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 충북대학교 부속농장 필지논에서 2008년 영농기간을 중심으로 논에서의 영양물질인 총인(TP), 인산성 인($PO_4-P$) 및 산화환원전위(Eh)의 변화특성을 파악함으로써, 논으로부터의 영양물질 유출제어에 관한 기초 자료를 제공하는데 있다. 이 연구는 2008년 6월부터 10월까지 필지논에서 논 표면수의 TP 와 $PO_4-P$의 농도변화와 토양의 산화환원전위(Eh)와의 관계 특성을 파악하였다. 관개기의 논에서 인은 분얼비 시기에 인성분이 시비되지 않았는데도 불구하고 분얼비 직후와 분얼비 1주일 후에 TP농도가 높게 나타났는데 이는 담수의 영향으로 논이 환원상태로 되어, 논바닥에 침전된 철이온에 흡착되어 있던 인이 철이온의 환원으로 함께 용출하기 때문이라고 생각된다. 산화환원전위(Eh)는 높아지면 산화경향을, 낮아지면 환원경향을 나타낸다. 본 연구기간 동안의 산화환원전위(Eh) 값은 비 관개기에 $201^{\sim}405$ mV로 높게 나타났고, 관개기에는 $93^{\sim}195$ mV로 낮게 나타났다. 필지논 표면수의 인농도는 분얼비 직후 1주일후까지 TP 와 $PO_4-P$ 농도는 같이 상승하다가 TP농도는 약 2주일까지 더 상승하여 2008년 최대값을 나타냈고 $PO_4-P$농도는 하강하였는데 이는 논 토양이 환원상태로 되면서 바닥에 있던 입자성 인이 논 표면으로 떠올랐기 때문으로 사료된다. 그 후에 담수가 끝나는 시점까지 농도는 낮아졌다. 강우량이 적은 관개초기에 인의 농도는 비교적 높게 나타났지만 강우량이 많은 여름에는 작물의 생장에 필요한 영양물질 섭취 등으로 인농도가 낮게 나타나 논은 인의 유출을 억제하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 인의 유출특성 및 산화환원전위(Eh)의 변화에 따른 논에서의 유출부하 특성이 규명된다면, 환경부하가 적은 효과적인 물관리가 가능해 질 것으로 판단된다.

KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) is at present preparing a preliminary performance assessment to set up the HLW disposal concept of Korea. The solubility of the radionuclides contained in HLW is necessary as a source term in order to predict their potential migration in both the near and far fields. The solubility of actinides (Th, Am, U, Np and Pu) for a reference deep groundwater of Korea has been calculated using a geochemical code with thermodynamic data selected by a peer review of existing thermodynamic databases and literature. The solubilities from the experimental study and/or field observations from natural analogue studies are compared. The sensitivity of solubility to the variability of three main parameters of groundwater (pH, Eh, and carbonate concentration) is also investigated. The results of the sensitivity analysis show that the solubility of actinides strongly depends on the parameters considered. Within the range of parameter values studied (pH=7 to 10, Eh=-0.4 to -0.1V, and carbonate concentration=1.E-5 to 1.E-2 mol/L), the solubility of each actinide exists between 1.4E-10 and 1.6E-6 mol/L for Am, 4.9E-9 and 2.8E-6 mol/L for Th, 3.2E-9 and 5.7E-4 mol/L for U, 1.1E-9 and 1.0E-7 mol/L for Np, and 4.0E-11 and 2.8E-6 mol/L for Pu, respectively.

Solubility of a radionuclide is important for defining the release source term of a radioactive waste in the safety and performance assessments of a radioactive waste repository. When the pH and redox potential of the KURT groundwater were changed by an electrical method, the concentrations of uranium and thorium released from $UO_2$(cr) and $ThO_2$(cr) at alkali pH(8.1 ${\sim}$ 11.4) and reducing potential (Eh < -0.2 V) conditions were less than $10^{-7}mole/L$. Unexpectedly, the concentration of tetravalent thorium is slightly higher than that of uranium at pH = 8.1 and Eh= -0.2 V conditions, and this difference may be due to the formation of hydroxide-carbonate complex ions. When $UO_2$(s) and $UO_2$(am, hyd.), and $ThO_2$(s) and $Th(OH)_4(am)$ were assumed as solubility limiting solid phases, the concentrations of uranium and thorium in the KURT groundwater calculated by the PHREEQC code were comparable to the experimental results. The dominating aqueous species of uranium and thorium were presumed as $UO_2(CO_3)_3^{4-}$ and $Th(OH)_3CO_3^-$ at pH = 8.1 ${\sim}$ 9.8, and $UO_2(OH)_3^-$ and $Th(OH)_4(aq)$ at pH = 11.4.

Objective of this research was to assess the effectiveness of the different sources of the zero-valent irons (ZVIs) on the reduction of the toxic Cr(VI) to the nonhazardous Cr(III) in an aqueous solution. The physical and chemical properties of the six ZVIs were determined. Particle size and specific surface area of the ZVIs were in the ranges of $85.55{\sim}196.46{\mu}m\;and\;0.055{\sim}0.091m^2/g$, respectively. Most of the ZVIs contained Fe greater than 98% except for J (93%) and PU (88%). Reduction efficiencies of the ZVI for Cr(VI) reduction were varied with kinds of ZVIs. The J and PU ZVIs reduced 100% and 98% of Cr(VI) in the aqueous solution, respectively, within 3 hrs of reaction. However, PA, F, Sand J1 reduced 74, 65, 29 and 11% of Cr(VI), respectively, after 48 hrs. The pH of the reacting solution was rapidly increased from 3 to $4.34{\sim}9.04$ within 3 hrs. The oxidation-reduction potential (Eh) of the reacting solution was dropped from 600 to 319 mV within 3 hrs following addition of ZVIs to the Cr(VI) contaminated water. The capability of ZVIs for Cr(VI) reduction was the orders of PU > J > PA > F > S > J1, which coincided with the capacities to increase the pH and decrease the redox potentials. Results suggested that the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) was derived from the oxidation of the ZVI in the aqueous solution.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the characteristics and the cleaning efficiency on HN(sub)4OH solutions added with H(sub)2O(sub)2 and surfactants. NH(sub)4OH solutions added with surfactants did not show much changes in pH and redox potential (Eh) as a function of NH(sub)4OH concentration compared with NH(sub)4OH solution. However H(sub)2O(sub)2 added NH\ulcornerOH solutions showed the decrease of pH and the increase of Eh as the concentration of NH(sub)4OH increased. The decrease of surface tension from 72 dynes/cm to 38 dynes/cm was observed in solutions added with surfactant but not in H(sub)2O(sub)2. The etch rates of silicon in NH(sub)4OH solutions(NH(sub)4OH:H(sub)2O= 1 : 5) showed at least 50 times higher than those in H(sub)2O(sub)2 and surfactant added NH(sub)4OH solutions(NH(sub)4OH:H(sub)2O(sub)2= 1 : 1 : 5) solution removed the PSL particles (0.67$\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter) on Si wafers effectively at all temperatures investigated. NH(sub)4OH solution added with a surfactant could not remove particles at room temperature, however it was possible to remove particles at higher temperatures, 5$0^{\circ}C$ and 8$0^{\circ}C$.
