This study was performed to investigate the geochemical and benthic environment of three shellfish farms in Suncheon Bay during the period of September 2014 ~ April 2015. Three sampling stations were selected; St.1 is the shellfish farm of razor clam near Jangsan area. St.2 is the shellfish farm of small ark shell near Hwapo area and St.3 is the shellfish farm of razor clam near Yongdu area. Razor clam was the dominant species at St.1, small ark shell and granulated ark shell were dominant at St.2 and St.3, respectively. Granulated ark shell inhabited St.3, although it is not cultured at that station. This station's exposure to air during the ebb tide and sediment composition likely provides the appropriate habitat for granulated ark shell species. Analysis of the number of different species showed that 8 benthos species were found to be distributed at St.1, 18 species at St.2, and 13 species at St.3. Among three stations, the highest Ignition Loss (IL), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Acid Volatile Sulfide (AVS) values were obtained from the sediment at St.2. The analysis of pore water from St.2 also showed the highest values of Total Organic Carbon (TOC), ammonia ($NH_4^+$), Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen (DIN) and phosphate ($PO_4^{3-}$). These results are related to the fact that species dominance and richness is the highest in St.2.

BACKGROUND: Most of the researches on the dye removal using ozonation have been focused on the removal efficiency. However, the research on their removal characteristics and mechanism according to the reaction time has been still insufficient. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, the effects of initial pH and dye concentration with reaction time on the degradation characteristics of methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) by ozonation were evaluated. The degradation efficiency of MB by ozonation increased with increasing pH. On the other hand, the degradation efficiency of MO by ozonation did not show a significant difference with varing pH. The both MO and MB by ozonation were decomposed within 30 min irrespective of the dye concentration, but the decomposition rates of dyes were faster at lower initial dye concentration. The decomposition efficiency of total organic carbon (TOC) in each dye solution by ozonation was low, which was found to be effective for partial decomposition such as decolorization rather than complete degradation of the dye. CONCLUSION: Overall, ozonation was an effective method for removing nondegradable dyes. However, it is necessary to study the optimization of dye degradation under various environmental conditions for ozonation.

본 연구에서는 페놀계 화합물의 산화-변환 반응매개체로 알려진 버네사이트를 고정화한 알긴산 겔 비드(birnessite entrapped alginate beads, Bir-AB)를 제조하고, 1-naphthol (1-NP)의 제거반응 특성을 회분식 실험을 통하여 조사하였다. SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)분석 결과, 버네사이트 입자는 알긴산 겔을 가교로 하여 비드에 고정화됨을 확인하였다. Bir-AB에 의한 1-NP의 제거는 유사일차 속도반응(pseudo-first order kinetic)을 따랐으며, 반응속도상수(k)는 알긴산(AG)에 대한 버네사이트(Bir) 입자의 혼합비(Bir : AG=0.25 : 1~1 : 1 w/w)가 2배 증가할 때마다 약 1.5배씩 증가하였다. Bir-AB에 의한 1-NP 제거는 pH의 영향을 받았으며 pH가 10에서 4로 감소하면서 반응속도 상수(k, $hr^{-1}$)는 0.361에서 0.661로 약 1.8배 증가하였다. 반응상등액에 대한 총유기탄소(TOC) 분석결과 Bir-AB는 버네사이트 분말입자를 사용한 경우에 비교해 상대적으로 높은 용존 유기탄소 제거 효과(74% vs 92%)를 보였으며, 반응 후 분리한 비드에 대한 탈착실험(CH3OH)과 HPLC 크로마토그램 분석 결과로부터 1-NP의 중합체 생성물은 Bir-AB에의 고정화를 통해 수용액으로부터 제거될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 반응상등액에 대한 원자흡광분석(AAS) 분석결과 반응과정에서 용출되는 Mn이온은 Bir-AB에의 재흡착을 통해 제거되었다. Bir-AB는 간단한 여과를 통해 모두 회수가능하며, 2회 재사용에 따른 1-NP의 제거효율을 평가한 결과, 초기에 비교한 큰 반응성의 감소(제거율<20%) 없이 재사용이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.
