Growth dynamics of the seagrass, Zostera marina were examined at the two stations (Myungju and Dagu) in Jindong Bay on the southern coast of Korea. Eelgrass leaf productivities, underwater irradiance, water temperature, dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in water column and sediments, and tissue carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) content were monitored monthly from March 2002 to January 2004. Underwater irradiance fluctuated highly without a clear seasonal trend, whereas water temperature showed a distinct seasonal trend at both study stations. Water column DIN concentrations were usually less than $5{\mu}M$ at both study sites. Sediment pore water $NH_4{^+}$ and $NO_3{^-}+NO_2{^-}$ concentrations were higher at the Myungju site than at the Dagu site. Eelgrass leaf productivity at both study sites exhibited a distinct seasonality, increasing during spring and decreasing during summer. Seasonal variation of eelgrass productivity was not consistent with seasonal patterns of underwater irradiance, or water temperature. Eelgrass tissue C and N content at both study sites also showed significant seasonal variations. Relationships between tissue C and N content and leaf productivities exhibited usually negative correlations at both study sites. These negative correlations implied that the growth of Z. marina at the study sites was probably limited by C and N supplies during the high growth periods.

Microalgae using a submersible fluorescence probe in water column (up to 100 m) were measured during the austral summer of 2006 (February) in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica (triangular-shaped embayment in the Indian sector of Southern Ocean). Concurrently, environmental parameters such as temperature, salinity and nitrogen (nitrate, ammonium, urea) uptake rates were measured. The concentration of phytoplankton is relatively high due to availability of high nutrients and low sea surface temperature. Phytoplankton community is dominated by diatoms whereas cryptophytes are in low concentration. The maximum concentration of total chlorophyll is 14.87 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ and is attributed to upwelled subsurface winter water due to local wind forcing, availability of micro-nutrients and increased attenuation of photosynthetically available radiation (PAR). Concentration of blue-green algae is low compared to that of green algae because of low temperature. Comparatively high concentration of yellow substances is due to the influence of Antarctic melt-water whereas cryptophytes are low due to high salinity and mixed water column. Varied concentrations of phytoplankton at different times of Fluoroprobe measurements suggest that the coastal waters of Prydz Bay are influenced by changing sub-surface water temperature and salinity due to subsurface upwelling induced by local winds as also melting/freezing processes in late summer. The productivity is high in coastal water due to the input of macro as well as micro-nutrients.

Natural organic matter (NOM) is a heterogeneous mixture of organic matter with various polarities and molecular weights in an aquatic environment. This study investigated the effects of separation conditions (resin volume, organic matter, etc.) and the repeated use of the resin for the fractionation of organic components in the DAX resin fractionation method. The distribution characteristics of the organic components ((hydrophilic [Hi], hydrophobic acid [HoA], and hydrophobic neutral [HoN]) under the derived fractionation conditions were also analyzed. Constant fractionation results (i.e. HoA/Hi ratio) were obtained in the column capacity factor (i.e. the packed resin volume) in the range of 50 to 100. The resin-packed column maintained constant separation efficiency for up to two repeated uses. The above conditions were applied to wastewater and stream water samples (before and after rainfall). The results showed that the concentration of organic matter in the wastewater effluent was 2-15 times lower with an increased ratio of hydrophilicity to hydrophobicity (i.e. Ho/Hi) compared to the influent depending on the industrial wastewater classification. Particularly, HoN was found to have a high content distribution, 10.2-50.4% of the total dissolved organic matter (DOM), in the effluents. For the stream water, the content of Hi or HoN increased significantly after rainfall, suggesting a correlation with the distribution characteristics of pollutants from the stream watershed. The results provide useful data to enhance the reliability of the DAX resin fractionation and its application to environmental samples.

유류화합물(디젤)로 오염된 불포화층 토양에 대한 현장오존복원공정의 기초연구로, 토양조건에 따른 오존의 이동과 분해, 디젤과의 반응경향을 조사하였다. 건조상태에서 유기물을 제거한 모래와 glass beads 충진컬럼에서 기상 오존의 분해를 조사한 결과 일차반응으로 가정시 반응 속도상수값(k)이 각각 $9.9{\times}10^{-3}s{^{-1}}$와 $4.3{\times}10^{-4}s{^{-1}}$로 나타나 모래의 경우 철 (Fe), 망간(Mn) 성분 등의 촉매작용으로 25배 가량 반감기가 짧은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 디젤로 오염시킨 현장 토양과 모래를 컬럼에 충진하여 동일조건하에서 오존주입시 토양입자의 크기와 유 무기물의 함량 차에 의한 오존이동상에 지체효과 및 소모량의 차이를 관찰하였고, 50mL/min의 유속에서 공기만을 주입시 DRO(diesel range organic) 기준 초기 디젤총량($800{\pm}50mg/kg$)의 30%가 제거된데 비해 오존을 6mg/min으로 16시간 주입한 결과 각각 80% 이상이 제거되었다. 오존주입시간에 따라 컬럼의 유출 입부에 잔류하는 TPH(total petroleum hydrocarbon)와 DRO 중 aliphatic계열 8개 물질들의 농도를 비교/분석한 결과, 낮은 탄소수 물질들로의 전환과정을 거쳐 유체의 흐름에 따라 컬럼 밖으로 이동됨을 확인하였고, 토양내 수분함량은 오염 토양복원에 오존을 적용시 중요한 인자임을 확인하였다.

We purified and characterized a crude polysaccharide from Spirodela polyrhiza with anti-complement activities. The crude polysaccharide fraction (SP-0) which had potential anti-complement activity was extracted in hot water for 4 hrs at 10$0^{\circ}C$. The ethanol-precipitate, the crude polysaccharide traction (SP-1), showed a potent anti-complement activity. Further purification of the crude polysaccharide (SP-1) was carried out by cetavlon, ion exchange chromatography and gel column chromatography. Among cetavlon fractions, SP-4 showed the most potent anti-complement activity. When 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL of SP-4 was incubated with an equal volume of normal human serum (NHS), the TCH$_{50}$ was reduced by about 78%. When the SP-4 fraction was further purified by DEAE-Sepharose (Cl$^{[-10]}$ ), the SP-4IIa, SP-4IIb and SP-4IIc, absorbed fractions, were almost the same as the anti-complement activities of SP-4. SP-4IIc, having the greatest potential activation and the highest yield by ion exchange chromatography, was further purified by gel column chromatography on a Sepharose CL-6B column. Four polysaccharide fractions of SP-4IIc-1, SP-4IIc-2, SP-4IIc-3 and SP-4IIc-4 were obtained, consisting mainly of arabinose, rhamnose, galactose and glucose, with approximate molecular weights of about 305,000, 132,000, 64,000 and 12,000, respectively. Among these subfractions, SP-4IIc-1 had the most potent anti-complement activity. When the SP-4IIc-1 aggregate was applied to a gel column chromatography in 10 mM and 50 mM NaCl solution, the position of the peak fractions shifted to a low molecular weight region, and the molecular weight of SP-4IIc-1 decreased with increased NaCl concentration in the gel column chromatography. It was found that the self-aggregation formed spontaneously in void volume by gel column chromatography using Sepharose CL-6B in water and the self-aggregation significantly affected the anti-complement function.

The packed column experiments were conducted with commercial Jumunjin sand(SOM content : 0.01 %) and a field soil(SOM content : 0.08 %) in order to understand the effects of water content and soil organic matter(SOM) on the transport of gaseous ozone in unsaturated soil contaminated with phenanthrene. Water content and SOM content were artificially controlled. As water content increased, earlier breakthrough was observed in the beginning of BTC of ozone, because direct contact of gaseous ozone with SOM and phenanthrene was prevented by water film formed between soil particles and gaseous ozone. The total removal of phenanthrene in Jumunjin sand was not affected by water content which was more than 99% at different water content(4.4, 8, 17.3%). However, the removal in field soil at water content 6.5 % and 20 % was 98% and 80 %.

Applying enhanced coagulation is not uncommon not only to improve water quality but also to obtain economical advantages in water treatment. In this study, the economical evaluation was investigated with considering dosage of coagulant, produced sludges and usage of activated carbon with two different water sources. To simulate the granular activated carbon(GAC) adsorber mini-column test was adapted. Even if there were some variation according to the source waters, the life time of GAC was extended 60 to 110days with adding 2.5 to 3 times of coagulant in enhanced coagulation. With assumption of changing GAC adsorber at 50% of breakthrough the total treatment cost can be reduced to range from 25% to 44% with adapting the enhanced coagulation. The obtained value can not be generalized because the value can be varied by water quality and cost of the GAC or coagulant. However, the evaluation can be basis starting point to find optimum operation methods for the drinking water treatment which has plan to adapt GAC adsorber.

1993년 3월에 동해 중부해역에 위치한 6개 정점의 100m 상부층에서 $^{210}Po$과 $^{210}Pb$의 수직농도분포를 측정하고, 이들 두 핵종의 거동이 수괴에 따라 어떻게 달라지는 지를 알아보았다. 또한, 1992년 5월과 1994 년 4월에 동해에서 측정한 자료들을 이용하여 봄철에 동해의 상부층에서 $^{210}Po$과 $^{210}Pb$의 거동을 지배하는 요인을 알아보았다. $^{210}Pb$의 농도는 정점에 따라 다소의 차이가 있으나 대체적으로 표층에서 가장 높고, 수심이 깊어짐에 따라 점차 감소하는 양상을 보인다. $^{210}Po$의 농도는 층별 차이가 매우 작으나, 클로로필 a의 농도가 가장 높은 정점 E3에서는 30m 상부층이 하부층에 비해 비교적 낮다. 또한, $^{210}Po$은 모든 정점의 30m 상부층에서 어미핵종보다 부족량을 보이나, 그 하부층에서는 거의 방사평형된 농도를 보이거나 혹은 다소 과잉량을 보인다. 특히, 상부층에서 $^{210}Po$의 부족량은 클로로필 a의 농도가 가장 높은 정점 E3과 강한 수온약층이 상부층에 존재하고 있는 정점 E6에서 가장 크다. 그러나, $^{210}Pb$은 전 정점의 모든 수층에서 어미핵종인 $^{226}Ra$보다 과잉량을 보인다. $^{226}Po$의 체류시간은 $1.0\~7.8$년의 범위로 클로로필 a의 농도가 높은 정점 E3와 비교적 강한 수온약층이 상부층에 존재하고 있는 정점 E6에서 가장 짧다. 또한, 1992년부터 1994년까지 봄철에 동해에서 얻어진 자료를 이용하여 50m 상부층에 대한 $^{210}Po$의 제거속도상수와 클로로필 a의 현존량과 사이에는 좋은 역의 상관성을 보인다. 이는 봄철에 동해에서 해수중 $^{210}Po$의 제거가 주로 생물생산력에 의해 좌우되고 있음을 의미한다. 반면에, 과잉량 $^{210}Pb$의 현존량은 해수의 수직안정도와 역의 상관성을 보이는 것으로 보아 동해의 상층부에서$^{210}Pb$의 농도는 생물생산력 보다는 주로 해수의 수직안정도에 의해 좌우되는 것으로 생각된다.

This study has been conducted to assess blackish-water phenomena in Dam reservoir. To searching for the reason, we survey physical changes in reservoir and analyze metal and organic content in particulate materials and water. The blackish-water phenomena in lake A are occurred with turbidity increases in turnover season irregularly. It was reported on 6 Jan. 2005 weakly and the water column mixed with 35~40m depth and water temperature shows $7^{\circ}C$. The turbidity of AD and AM site increased up to 20NTU. Especially, AN site shows 27NTU, such a result makes that Dam manager conclude it to blackish-water phenomena. The results of sequential extraction analysis show that over 80% of Al, Cr and Fe is existed in residual form in sediment. On the other hand, the most part of Mn shows exchangeable and carbonates form, which have a good possibility of release to water column. Mn contents in pore waters of the sediment samples are also found to be ~4 times higher than Fe contents. The metal contents in pore water of different dam sites are in order of AN (Fe: 9.98, Mn: 40.6) > AD(8.33, 37.5) > DD(1.91, 2.55). According to the results of extracted organic materials from sediment, humic substances is occupied with over 85% in total organic carbon including 23~45% of humic acid (HA) and 0.9~8.5% of fulvic acid (FA). However, HA content in pore water is not detectable while FA contents, acid-soluble humic fractions is higher than that of sediment(10~15%). which indicating that FA is a main humic components affecting water color. The color unit per DOC of FA in pore waters of different dam sites are found to be higher in lake A than lake D. From the results, it could be suggested that blackish-water phenomena of lake A are mainly arise from higher concentration of Mn and water soluble organic fractions (e.g., FA) released from sediments as well as the strength of turnover in Dam reservoir.
