현재 상업적으로 널리 사용 되여 지고 있는 항암제인 hydroxy urea, 6-mercaptopurine monohydrate, cytosine arabinoside, cyclophosphamide monohydrate 그리고 uracil를 3-(triethoxysilyl) propyl isocyanate 와 반응시켜 항암제가 붙어있는 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl amide (compound I)을 합성한후 물과 가수분해 반응시켜 항암제가 결합된 silica 나노입자(10 nm~micronparticles)를 만들 수있었다. Silyl isocyanate 유도체들은 물과 반응하여 유기물질-silica 나노입자가 포함된 $-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-NH-COOH$ 그룹이나 혹은 온도와 용매등 반응조건에 따라서 decarboxylated 된 propylamine 그룹이 생성되었다. 생체외 시험에서 항암제가 결합된 silica 나노입자는 종양 세포 제거에 효과적이고 정상세포에 거의 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 악성 종양인 폐, 난소, 악성 흑색종, 중추신경계(CNS)와 결장 종양 세포가 이 연구에 사용되었다. 현재의 연구에서 전달매체 로서 silica는 silation 반응으로 손쉽게 나노입자를 얻을 수 있으므로 본 연구에 쉽게 이용 할 수 있다. 결과로부터 이 기술은 보다 부작용이 적은 생체 의약품에 적합한 carrier nanoparticles에 적용 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Soil health can deteriorate through both contamination and remediation. Accordingly, revitalization processes are needed to reuse or recycle the remediated soil. The study was conducted to assess the changes in soil health parameters of heavy metals-contaminated soil during soil washing process. In addition, unit processes were proposed to improve the quality of the remediated soil relevant to its reclamation purposes, such as agricultural and forest lands. A total of 21 indicators were used to determine whether the soil health was degraded or recovered. The performance of 6 amendments in improving soil health was quantitatively evaluated according to their dosage and application duration. Finally, the experimental results were assessed by simple regression analyses to determine the statistical significance and relative performance of each amendment. The results indicated that 18 health indicators out of 21 deteriorated through the soil washing process. Based on the results, it is recommended that several effective amendments be complementarily combined and applied in real applications because use of single amendment does not likely improve the quality of remediated soils.

전기동력학적인 기술 처리가 시설재배 토양의 염류제거에도 효과를 보이는가를 검증하기 위하여 토양의 물리성, 화학성 및 작물생산성을 조사한 포장시험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. EK처리는 농가포장에 220 V 농가용 교류를 직류화하여 약 0.8 V $cm^{-1}$의 정전압으로 동전기 처리 하였다. 양전극의 길이는 20 cm로서 고규소철 (HSCI; High Silicon Cast Iron), 음전극은 철판 (Fe Plate)을 바닥에 깔았다. 하단부 흙 속에는 직경 10 cm 정도의 유공 PVC파이프를 매설하고 음 (-)극으로 몰려온 양 (+)이온들을 모아서 배출시켰다. EK처리에 따른 토양 물리성은 토양입단의 경우 파괴 효과가 크고 물의 침투 속도는 증가되었으나, 용적밀도와 공극율의 변화는 적었다. 한편, 토양의 화학성을 보면, 무처리구보다 EK처리구의 EC, $NO_3{^-}$-N, $K^+$, $Na^+$ 등의 주요 이온들이 급격히 감소되었고, pH, $P_2O_5$, $Ca^{2+}$ 등은 EK의 영향력이 적은 성분이었다. EK처리에 따른 작물재배 작기별로 토양화학성 감소율을 비교한 결과 $NO_3{^-}$-N 78.3 % > $K^+$ 72.3 % > EC 71.6 % $$\geq_-$$ $Na^+$ 71.5 % > $Mg^{2+}$ 36.8 %순 이었다. EK를 작물재배 이전 즉 휴경을 하면서 처리한 시험구와 작물을 재배하면서 EK를 처리한 시험구의 화학성 감소효과를 비교한 결과 작물재배 중 처리효과가 더 높았다. EK처리 후 양분의 감소가 뚜렸한 $NO_3{^-}$-N, EC 등은 처리효과가 분명하였으나, 1회의 EK처리만으로는 염류감소 지속효과가 분명하지 않으므로 2회 이상 EK처리 후 토양화학성 검정을 계속하면서 토양검정 시비를 실시하는 것이 바람직하였다. EK처리에 따른 배추생육을 보면 1차 처리 - 2차 처리- 3차 처리구의 무처리 대비 증수율은 225.5 % - 181.0 % - 124.2%로 각각 나타났다. 1차 처리 (2011.4)시 고추는 130.0 %, 2차 처리 시 상추는 248.1 %, 3차 처리 시 열무는 125.4 % 각각 증수됨으로서 공시되었던 모든 작물에서 증수효과가 인정되었다.

Vivianite (Fe₃²⁺(PO₄)2·8H₂O) and green rust ([Fe₄²⁺Fe₂³⁺(OH)^-₁₂][SO₄^2-·2H₂O]^2-), ferrous containing minerals, could remove aqueous U(VI) in 5 min. and the efficiencies of green rust were roughly 2 times higher than that of vivianite. The zeta potential measurement results implies that the better performance of green rust might be attributed to the favorable surface charge toward uranyl phosphate species. The removal behaviors of the minerals were well fitted by pseudo-second order kinetic model (R² > 0.990) indicating the dominant removal process was chemical adsorption. Effects of Ca²⁺ and CO₃^2- at pH 7 were examined in terms of removal kinetic and capacity. The kinetic constants of aqueous U(VI) were 8 and 13 times lower (0.492 × 10^-3 g/(mg·min); 0.305 × 10^-3 g/(mg·min)) compared to the value in the absence of the ions. The thermodynamic equilibrium calculation showed that the stable uranyl species (uranyl tri-carbonate) were newly formed at the condition. Surface investigation on the reacted mineral with uranyl phosphates species were carried out by XPS. Ferrous iron and U(VI) on the green rust surface were completely oxidized and reduced into Fe(III) and U(IV) after 7 d. It suggests that the ferrous minerals can retard U(VI) migration in phosphate-rich groundwater through the adsorption and subsequent reduction processes.

BACKGROUND: Arsenic (As)-contaminated groundwater used for long-term irrigation has emerged as a serious problem by adding As to soils. Phytoremediation potential of fiber crops viz., kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.), mesta (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.), and jute (Corchorus capsularis L.) was studied to clean up As-contaminated soil.METHODS AND RESULTS: Varieties of three fiber crops were selected in this study. Seeds of kenaf, mesta, and jute varieties were germinated in As-contaminated soil. Uptake of As by shoot was significantly higher than that by root in the contaminated soil. In As-contaminated soil, kenaf and mesta varieties accumulated more As, than did jute varieties. In the plant parts above ground, mainly the shoots, the highest As absorption was recorded in kenaf cv. HC-3, followed by kenaf cv. HC-95. Kenaf varieties produced more biomass. In terms of higher plant biomass production, and As absorption, kenaf varieties showed considerable potential to remediate As-contaminated soil.CONCLUSION: The overall As absorption and phytoremediation potentiality of plant varieties were in the order of kenaf cv. HC-3 > kenaf cv. HC-95 > mesta cv. Samu-93 > jute cv. CVE-3 > jute cv. BJC-7370. All varieties of kenaf, mesta, and jute could be considered for an appropriate green plant-based remediation technology in As-contaminated soil.

The potential use of Sargassum boveanum algae for the removal of uranium from aqueous solution has been studied by varying three independent parameters (pH, initial uranium ion concentration, S. boveanum dosage) using a central composite design (CCD) under response surface methodology (RSM). Batch mode experiments were performed in 20 experimental runs to determine the maximum metal adsorption capacity. In CCD design, the quantitative relationship between different levels of these parameters and heavy metal uptake (q) were used to work out the optimized levels of these parameters. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the proposed quadratic model revealed that this model was highly significant (R² = 0.9940). The best set required 2.81 as initial pH(on the base of design of experiments method), 1.01 g/L S. boveanum and 418.92 mg/L uranium ion concentration within 180 min of contact time to show an optimum uranium uptake of 255 mg/g biomass. The biosorption process was also evaluated by Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models represented that the experimental data fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model of a suitable degree and showed the maximum uptake capacity of 500 mg/g. FTIR and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the biosorbent and implied that the functional groups (carboxyl, sulfate, carbonyl and amine) were responsible for the biosorption of uranium from aqueous solution. In conclusion, the present study showed that S. boveanum could be a promising biosorbent for the removal of uranium pollutants from aqueous solutions.

Organochlorine pesticide residues continue to remain as a major environmental threat worldwide. Lindane is an organochlorine pesticide widely used as an acaricide in medicine and agriculture. In the present study, a new lindane-degrading yeast strain, Pseudozyma VITJzN01, was identified as a copious producer of glycolipid biosurfactant. The glycolipid structure and type were elucidated by FTIR, NMR spectroscopy, and GC-MS analysis. The surface activity and stability of the glycolipid was analyzed. The glycolipids, characterized as mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs), exhibited excellent surface active properties and the surface tension of water was reduced to 29 mN/m. The glycolipid was stable over a wide range of pH, temperature, and salinity, showing a very low CMC of 25 mg/l. Bio-microemulsion of olive oil-in-water (O/W) was prepared using the purified biosurfactant without addition of any synthetic cosurfactants, for lindane solubilization and enhanced degradation assay in liquid and soil slurry. The O/W bio-microemulsions enhanced the solubility of lindane up to 40-folds. Degradation of lindane (700 mg/l) by VITJzN01 in liquid medium amended with bio-microemulsions was found to be enhanced by 36% in 2 days, compared with degradation in 12 days in the absence of bio-microemulsions. Lindane-spiked soil slurry incubated with bio-microemulsions also showed 20-40% enhanced degradation compared with the treatment with glycolipids or yeast alone. This is the first report on lindane degradation by Pseudozyma sp., and application of bio-microemulsions for enhanced lindane degradation. MEL-stabilized bio-microemulsions can serve as a potential tool for enhanced remediation of diverse lindane-contaminated environments.

Removal of arsenic (As) from soil aggregates with particle sizes of > 2.0, 2.0-0.25, 0.25-0.053, < 0.053 mm by soil washing of $KH_2PO_4$ and the kinetics of As releasing from soil aggregates were investigated. Effects of $KH_2PO_4$ concentration, ratio of liquid/soil and washing duration on the removal were fully explored. The results showed that the high As removal was obtained in > 2 mm aggregates (48.56%) and < 0.053 mm aggregates (42.88%) under the optimum condition ($KH_2PO_4$ concentration of 0.1 mol/L, and liquid/soil ratio (10 mL/g) for 360 min). 62.82% of As was extracted from aggregates with size less than 0.25 mm. Only 11.88% was contributed by the large aggregates (> 2.0mm). Using $KH_2PO_4$ washing, it was also found that extracted As is mainly in form of either specifically sorbed As or As associated with oxides of Fe and Al. Elovich model can describe the removal process of As more precisely than Two-constant kinetic models. The optimum washing conditions and removal process is also applied to bulk soil. This technique in this study is reliable, cost-effective and offers a great potential for practical application in soil remediation.
