  • Rainwater runoff has been identified as a significant source of contaminants having tremendous impact on the receiving aquatic environment. In the present study, trace element transport by the surface runoff in the predominantly urban catchment of Guwahati city, India was monitored with a view to determine the chemical denudation rates of the land surface. A number of trace metals, namely Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn were measured in the runoff after 70 major rain events within the city. Cadmium was found to be the least abundant metal and Iron was the most abundant metal in the runoff. The results are interpreted on the basis of temporal and spatial variations in their concentrations. These variations are quite large in some of the events and reflect changes in the local environmental setting, differences in water utilization, variations in runoff volume, gradient and quality.

  • A solvent sublation was studied for the determination of trace Cd, Co, Cu and Ni in water samples. Ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) was used as a complexing agent. Experimental conditions such as pH of solution, amounts of APDC, the type and amount of surfactant, the type of solvent, etc. were optimized for the effective sublation of analytes. After metal-PDC complexes were formed in sample solutions of pH 2.5, the precipitate-type complexes were floated in a flotation cell with an aid of sodium lauryl sulfate as a surfactant and by bubbling with nitrogen gas. The precipitates were dissolved and separated into the surface layer of methyl iso-butyl ketone (MIBK). The analytes preconcentrated were determined by a graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry (GF-AAS). Extractability of each element was 88% for Cd(Ⅱ), 86% for Co(Ⅱ), 95% for Cu(Ⅱ) and 76% for Ni(Ⅱ), respectively. And this procedure was applied to the analysis of real samples. From the recoveries of more than 92%, it was concluded that this method could be simple and applicable for the determination of trace elements in various water samples of a large volume.

  • 산성광상배수의 처리를 위한 중화제로서 제강 슬래그의 이용 가능성을 검토하였으며 석회석과의 성능을 비교하였다. 24시간 반응시킨 고정 실험에서는 슬래그가 석회석보다 높은 pH를 나타냈고 Fe. Al 및 기타 중금속에 우수한 제거효율을 보였다. 10일간 진행된 연속단계실험결과 역시 슬레그가 석회석보다 높은 pH를 유지하였고 Fe와 Al의 제거성능의 저하는 나타나지 않았으며 Ni, Co. Cu. Zn 모두 석회석보다 슬래그에서 휠씬 높은 제거효율을 보였다. 황산$({H_2}{SO_4})$으로 pH를 AMD와 동일하게 맞추고 중금속만을 인위적으로 첨가한 증류수(인공산 용액)와의 반응에서는 AMD와의 반응에서보다 중금속의 제거효율이 떨어졌는데, 이는 AMD내에 존재하는 Fe와 Al 산화물이 침전할 때 공침이나 흡착에 의해 중금속이 제거되는데 비해 인공적인 AMD에서는 이러한 효과가 없기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 슬래그의 크기별(5mm이하. 5~20 mm. 20 mm이상)실험에서는 슬래그의 크기가 작을수록 더 높은 pH 상승과 더 효과적인 금속들의 제거 성능을 보여 비표면적이 중요한 요인임을 제시하였다.

  • Selenium is an ultra trace essential element for the normal functioning body because of forming the active center of redox enzymes such as four kinds of glutathione peroxidases (GPx), thioredoxin reductase (TR) and 5'-iodothyronine deiodinase. However, the adequate range between deficient and excessive levels is very narrow. (omitted)

  • 석영의 광여기 루미네선스(OSL)를 이용한 제4기 퇴적물의 연대측정이 최근 널리 적용되고 있다. 그러나 모든 석영시료가 OSL 연대측정에 적합하지는 않다는 사실도 잘 알려져 있다. OSL 연대측정의 신뢰도를 향상시키고 적용범위를 넓히기 위해서는 석영시료별로 다양한 OSL 신호 특성의 원인에 대한 광물학적 규명이 필요하다. 본 연구는 그러한 광물학적 연구의 일환으로 전혀 다른 지질 및 지표 환경에서 채취한 퇴적물 시료로부터 분리한 석영을 대상으로 OSL 신호특성 분석과 레이저삭마 유도결합플라즈마질량분석(LA-ICP-MS)을 이용한 미량원소 조성분석을 실시하였다. OSL 신호분석 결과, 석영시료는 연대 측정에 적합한 신호특성을 갖는 시료와 부적합한 시료로 명확히 분리할 수 있었다. 미량원소조성분석 결과, Al (평균 73~267 ppm)과 Ti (평균 61~248 ppm)의 함량이 가장 높았으며, 그 외 Li, Mg, Cr, Mn, Fe 등이 40 ppm 미만으로 함유되어 있었다. 석영 시료간 OSL 특성의 명확한 차이에도 불구하고, 그에 상응하는 미량원소함량의 뚜렷한 차이는 발견할 수 없었다. 이는 시료별로 다양한 OSL 신호 특성이 미량원소가 아닌 석영의 다른 광물학적 원인에 기인되었을 가능성을 시사하지만, 향후 보다 많은 시료 분석으로 확인되어야 한다.

  • 2011년 3월에 대구광역시의 대형유통업소주차장을 대상으로 총 48개의 먼지시료를 채취하여 100 ${\mu}m$ 이하로 걸러서 산추출한 후 ICP로 14개 원소를 분석하였다. 미량원소성분 중 Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, V는 자연적 발생원의 영향을, 그리고 Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn은 인위적 발생원의 영향을 받는 것으로 추정된다. 미량원소성분의 농도는 자연적 발생원 성분이 인위적 발생원 성분보다 뚜렷하게 높았고, 인위적 발생원 성분은 지상옥상이 지상실내와 지하실내보다 농도가 높았다. 미량원소성분의 조성백분율은 인위적 발생원 성분에 비해 자연적 발생원 성분이 대부분을 차지하였고, 인위적 발생원 성분은 지상옥상이 지상실내와 지하실내보다 함유율이 높았다. 주차장은 유해중금속오염이 거의 없는 수준을 보였고, 지상옥상은 지상실내와 지하실내보다 중금속오염도가 높았다. 미량원소성분간의 상관성은 지상옥상이 지상실내와 지하실내보다 양호한 상관성이 많았고, 인위적 발생원 성분은 주차장연수와 주차밀도와도 상관성이 양호하였다.

  • Paved road dust emissions were investigated 14 times on 12 main roads in Seo-Cho Gu, Seoul, Korea by vehicle-based mobile sampling system(Road Dust Monitoring System) during September to December 2011. Also, fourteen heavy metals present in the dust samples were analyzed by ICP. ICP analysis showed that one of major source of the road dust would be urban construction. A large amount of silt was found, which might be originated mainly from building construction and open beds of trees. Trace element and pollution indices of heavy metals(Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) on the roads adjacent to the commercial area had higher concentrations than those on the roads adjacent to the construction and residential areas because of traffic density and heavy traffic.

  • This paper introduces a novel concept of the pulsed neutron facility (PNF) for maximizing the production of the thermal neutrons and its application to medical use based on prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) using Monte Carlo simulations. The PNF consists of a compact D-T neutron generator, a graphite pile, and a detection system using Cadmium telluride (CdTe) detector arrays. The configuration of fuel pins in the graphite monolith and the design and materials for the moderating layer were studied to optimize the thermal neutron yields. Biological samples - normal and cancerous breast tissues - including chlorine, a trace element, were used to investigate the sensitivity of the characteristic γ-rays by neutron-trace material interactions and the detector responses of multiple particles. Around 90 % of neutrons emitted from a deuterium-tritium (D-T) neutron generator thermalized as they passed through the graphite stockpile. The thermal neutrons captured the chlorines in the samples, then the characteristic γ-rays with specific energy levels of 6.12, 7.80 and 8.58 MeV were emitted. Since the concentration of chlorine in the cancerous tissue is twice that in the normal tissue, the count ratio of the characteristic g-rays of the cancerous tissue over the normal tissue is approximately 2.

  • A key element of the safety analysis is Loss of Coolant Analysis (LOCA) which must be performed using system thermal-hydraulic codes. These codes are extensively validated against separate effect and integral experiments. RELAP/SCDAPSIM is one such code that may be used to predict LBLOCA response in a CANDU reactor. The RD-14M experiment selected for the Best Estimate Plus Uncertainty study is a 44 mm (22.7%) inlet header break test with no Emergency Coolant Injection. This work has two objectives first is to simulate pipe break with RELAP and compare these results to those available from experiment and from comparable TRACE calculations. The second objective is to quantify uncertainty in the fuel element sheath (FES) temperature arising from model coefficient as well as input parameter uncertainties using Integrated Uncertainty Analysis package. RELAP calculated results are found to be in good agreement with those of TRACE and with those of experiments. The base case maximum FES temperature is 335.5 ℃ while that of 95% confidence 95th percentile is 407.41 ℃ for the first order Wilk's formula. The experimental measurements fall within the predicted band and the trends and sensitivities are similar to those reported for the TRACE code.
