This study aims to assess the effectiveness of limestone, zeolite, and crushed concrete as capping material to block the release of heavy metals (As, Cu, Cr, Ni, and Pb) and reduce the sediment oxygen demand. The efficiency of limestone, zeolite, and crushed concrete was evaluated in a reactor in which a 1-cm thick layer of capping materials was placed on the sediments collected from Inchon north harbor. Dissolved oxygen concentration and heavy metal concentration in seawater above the uncapped sediments and capping material were monitored for 17 days. The sediment oxygen demand was in the following increasing order: crushed concrete ($288.37mg/m^2{\cdot}d$) < zeolite ($428.96mg/m^2{\cdot}d$) < limestone ($904.53mg/m^2{\cdot}d$) < uncapped ($981.34mg/m^2{\cdot}d$). The capping materials could reduce the sediment oxygen demand by blocking the release of biochemical matters consuming dissolved oxygen in seawater. It was also shown that zeolite and crushed concrete could effectively block the release of Cu, Ni, and Pb but those were not effective for the interruption of As and Cr release from marine contaminated sediments.

In this study, we performed a sediment elution experiment to evaluate water quality in terms of phosphorus, as influenced by the dissolved oxygen consumed by sediments. Three separate model column treatments, namely, raw, calcined, and sonicated oyster shell powders, were used in this experiment. Essential phosphorus fractions were examined to verify their roles in nutrient release from sediment based on correlation analyses. When treated with calcined or sonicated oyster shell powder, the sediment-water interface became "less anaerobic," thereby producing conditions conducive to partial oxidation and activities of aerobic bacteria. Sediment Oxygen Demand (SOD) was found to be closely correlated with the growth of algae, which confirmed an intermittent input of organic biomass at the sediment surface. SOD was positively correlated with exchangeable and loosely adsorbed phosphorus and organic phosphorus, owing to the accumulation of unbound algal biomass-derived phosphates in sediment, whereas it was negatively correlated with ferric iron-bound phosphorus or calcium fluorapatite-bound phosphorus, which were present in the form of "insoluble" complexes, thereby facilitating the free migration of sulfate-reducing bacteria or limiting the release from complexes, depending on applied local conditions. PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis revealed that iron-reducing bacteria were the dominant species in control and non-calcined oyster shell columns, whereas certain sulfur-oxidizing bacteria were identified in the column treated with calcined oyster powder.

The pollution in closing water can be caused by not only artificial factor like sewage but also natural factor like elution from sediment. In this study we analyzed Sediment Oxygen Demand (SOD) for verification of sediment purification effect and sediment elution experiment as well as general items like COD, TN, TP, SS to complement and assess the effect of sediment and water quality. The experiment result showed that the release rate of OSD system were 4 times and 3 times as large as control for P and Fe respectively. SOD for operated OSD system and control were $12.18gO_2{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ and $47.95gO_2{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$. From water qualities analyzed by COD, TN, TP, SS, chlorophyll-a, the removal efficiency increase of TN, TP, chlorophyll-a and COD were about 10~20%, 40~50% and 10% respectively. In conclusion, OSD can contribute to improvement of both the waterbody and the sediment environment effectively.

초록(한글) 입력자 : 퇴적층 산소요구는 수중의 퇴적층에서 생물학적 호기성 대사와 화학적 산화에 소모되는 용존산소량으로 1999년 4월부터 11월 사이에 팔당호 현장에서의 SOD는 조사시점에 따라 $4{\sim}5$ 시간동안 $1.57{\sim}12.55$ mg $O_{2}m^{-2}h^{-1}$로 나타났다. 또한 SOD는 퇴적유기물의 양과 퇴적층 내로의 산소 확산의 영향이 컸다. 초기 30분 동안에 물과 퇴적층의 산소요구를 비교하면 SOD가 수층 전체 산소소모의 $63.8{\sim}94$%를 차지하였다. 실험실 내의 SOD 측정에서 화학적 퇴적층 산소요구는 크게 일어나지 않았으며 퇴적층의 탄소성 산소요구는 전체 SOD보다 적게 나타났다. 이 결과로부터 팔당호의 SOD는 주로 생물학적 산소요구에 의한 것이며 질화작용에 의한 산소요구가 SOD에 큰 비중을 차지함을 알 수 있었다. 퇴적층의 두께가 SOD에 미치는 영향은 퇴적물의 특성에 크게 좌우되며 유속을 2배로 빠르게 한 경우에는 SOD가 $1.4{\sim}1.9$배 증가하였다. 본 연구를 통해 SOD가 수층의 용존산소를 감소시키는 주요한 요인임을 알 수 있었으며 상수원으로 이용되는 호수에서 이를 감안한 수질관리가 적용되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

2001년 12월부터 2004년 4월까지 강화도 남서부에 위치한 동막 및 여차리 갯벌에서 계절별로 퇴적물의 산소요구량과 탈질소화를 측정하여 퇴적물의 유기물 분해와 질소 영양염의 제거과정을 살펴보았다. 퇴적물 산소 요구량 (SOD;sediment oxygen demand)은 니질 함량이 높은 동막이 평균 $683\;{\mu}mole\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$이었고, 사질 함량이 높은 여차리에서 평균 $457\;{\mu}mole\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$로 동막에서 높은 값을 보였다. SOD는 여름철에 높고, 겨울철에 낮은 경향을 보였는데, 2002년 4월에는 산소가 퇴적물에 의해 소비되기보다는 생산되어 저서성 규조류에 의한 광합성이 활발함을 알 수 있었다. 탈질소화도 동막이 높고 여차리가 낮았는데, 그 값은 각각 5.4와 $3.4\;{\mu}mole\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$이며, 유기물로는 $9.3\;mg-C\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$과 $5.9\;mg-C\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$에 해당하는 양이다. 염습지를 포함한 연안 퇴적물의 탈질소화율은 $0{\sim}200{\mu}mo1e\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$의 범위에 있는데, 본 조사의 값은 낮은 편에 속했다. 탈질소화가 낮은 것은 갯벌이 유기물 농도가 높은 환경임에도 불구하고 분해하기 쉬운 신선한 유기물은 부족하여 전반적인 유기물 분해율이 낮은 것으로 사료된다. 이는 평소에는 낮은 탈질소화를 보이나, 고농도의 유기물이 유입되면, 이를 효과적으로 제거할 잠재적 능력이 있음을 시사한다. 산소요구량과 무기탄소 용출량을 통해 살펴본 강화갯벌의 유기물 순분해율(net remineralization rate)은 동막이 평균 $196\;mg-C\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$이고 여차리가 평균 $132\;mg-C\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$이었다.

The depletion of dissolved oxygen (DO) in urban streams has a profound effect on the aquatic ecosystem; however, the change in DO by resuspension of sediments and the cause have not been sufficiently investigated. In this study, the physicochemical properties (particle size, and the content of organic and heavy metals) of the sediments of an urban stream (Anyang Stream) and the characteristics of water quality changes (DO, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved nitrogen (DN), sediment oxygen demand (SOD), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)) by sediment resuspension were investigated. The sediment content of fine particles (< 0.2 mm) increased from 36.7% to 52.7% from the upstream to the downstream, and the contents of heavy metals and organic matter of the sediment were also higher towards the downstream. The depletion of DO by resuspension was observed in the sediment at the downstream sites (P8, P9), where the fine particle content was high, and biological SOD (BSOD) was more than 88% compared to the total SOD. The increase in BSOD coincided with the increase in ATP. It was also confirmed that the depletion of DO could increase the amount of heavy metals (such as Fe, Mn, and Pb) released from the sediment. Based on the above results, it can be concluded that resuspension of sediments induces rapid water quality changes and may cause accidents, such as fish mortality, during rainfall, and such a water quality effect can be more pronounced in sediments with a high content of fine particles and organic matter and high biological activity.

Sediment is a useful natural source but deteriorated continually by anthropogenic and industrial sources. Therefore, it is imperative to search a suitable method for improving or restoring sediment quality. Sediment has been tested to identify the effects of some external agents on a polluted area for 28 days. Chemical analysis and total viable counts (TVC) test have been conducted for 4 days interval to assess their performance. The analyses of chemical oxygen demand (COD), acid volatile sulfide (AVS), total phosphorous (T-P), total nitrogen (T-N) indicate that the chemical agents was more efficient to improve sediment quality whereas the microbial agent was more efficient for nutrient releasing from sediment. Oxygen releasing property of the chemical agent was thought to be providing with more congenial environment for the higher growth of the bacterial community than the direct application of microbial agents.

본 연구는 퇴적물이 소모하는 산소량(SOD)과 환경 인자가 서로 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 퇴적물 배양실험을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 실험실에서 용출 반응조를 설치하여 20일간 배양하였으며, 퇴적물에 존재하는 물질 중 P 및 Fe와의 관계를 중점적으로 연구하였다. 분석 결과, 수층의 용존 산소는 시간의 경과에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 퇴적물의 산화환원전위 또한 음의 방향으로 진행되어 혐기적 환원환경이 조성되었다. 퇴적물 산소요구량(SOD)은 배양 초기 0.05mg/g로 측정되었으며, 20일차 0.09mg/g으로 퇴적물이 소모하는 산소량이 증가하는 경향을 관찰하였다. 이는 chl-a의 증가로 퇴적물 표층에 축적된 유기물의 분해에 의한 산소 소모(Biological-SOD), 그리고 환원반응에 의해 생성된 금속 환원물이 재산화 할 경우 소모되는 산소(Chemical-SOD)에 의한 것으로 보인다. 퇴적물에서 추출한 존재형태별 인과 SOD의 상관관계를 살펴보면 Ex-P, Org-P의 경우 양의 상관관계, Fe-P의 경우 음의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 또한, 실험 20일차 퇴적물의 미생물 군집을 분석한 결과 혐기성 철 환원균(FeRB)이 우점종으로 검출되었다. 따라서, 철 산화물과 결합한 인산염이 환원반응에 의해 분리될 경우 인산염은 수중으로 용출되어 일차생산력을 증가시키며, 환원물은 재산화 하여 퇴적물 산소 소모량에 기여하므로 본 연구는 산소 수지의 개선을 위한 기초 자료로 이용될 것으로 기대된다.

Sediment microbial fuel cell (SMFC), equipped with Zn, Al, Cu, Fe or graphite felt (GF) anode and marine sediment, was performed. Graphite felt was used as a common cathode. SMFC was single chambered and did not use any redox mediator. The aim of this work was to find efficient anodic material. Oxidation reduction potential (ORP), cell voltage, current density, power density, pH and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were measured for SMFC's performance.. The order of maximum power density was $913mWm^{-2}$ for Zn, $646mWm^{-2}$ for Fe, $387.8mWm^{-2}$ for Cu, $266mWm^{-2}$ for Al, and $127mWm^{-2}$ for graphite felt (GF). The current density over voltage was found to be strongly correlated with metal electrodes, but the graphite felt electrode, in which relatively weaker electricity was observed because of its bio-oriented mechanism. Metal corrosion reactions and/or a complicated microbial electron transfer mechanism acting around the anodic compartment may facilitate to generate electricity. We presume that more sophisticated selection of anodic material can lead to better performance in SMFC.

In this study, it is grasped the status of nutrients through an investigation of release characteristics and physicochemical properties of sediments on reservoir. And then the effect of sediments is evaluated on the water quality in reservoir. In the results of physicochemical analysis, the pollution level of midstream is the highest, which shows the traits that the water is more deeper and takes place a deposition consistently. Then, the pollution level of upstream is higher than downstream's because inflow has influence on the upstream directly. The downstream is located near tidal gate so that the soil particles can be moved easily and are difficult to be deposited due to the distribution of seawater by control of tidal gate. Therefore, the downstream is showed the lowest pollution level than the others. Also, the concentration of SOD(Sediment Oxygen Demand) in the upstream which is influenced on the effect of inflow is highest than the others. When it analyzes under anaerobic and aerobic condition to understand the release characteristic of sediment, it shows that the release rate is low or negative under the aerobic condition. Whereas the release rate is usually positive under the unaerobic condition relatively. According to these results, it is necessary to maintain the proper environmental factors of water body for decreasing the release rate of sediment. Because the release rate is changeable under the different condition of water body. Therefore, proper strategies are required for increasing the self-purification of water as well as keeping the aerobic condition of sediment and managing a sediment layer directly to control the inner-pollution by the sediment of reservoir.
