A 12-wk experiment was conducted to examine the hematological changes, survival, and respiratory exchange in the olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, during starvation. The growth, survival and respiratory exchange rates of the starved group were lower than those of the fed group during the experiment. Blood analysis, including hematocrit, hemoglobin, red blood cells, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and mean corpuscular volume, did not differ significantly (p>0.05) between the fed and starved groups at the end of the experiment. There were no significant differences in plasma cortisol, glucose, $Na^+$, $Cl^-$, $K^+$, or aspartate aminotransferase between the fed and starved groups (p>0.05). Alanine aminotransferase levels were higher in the starved group than in the fed group, whereas plasma osmolality was lower in the starved group than in the fed group. It was shown that starved fish had various problems after four weeks, which did not occur in the fed group. Long-term starvation is infrequent in aquaculture farms. However, starvation studies of this kind are very useful for a basic understanding of how physiological changes affect fish health, life expectancy, and growth.

Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is an efficient method for utilizing renewable energy sources such as wind and solar powers to produce green hydrogen. For PEMWE powered by renewable energy sources, its durability is a crucial factor in its performance since irregular and fluctuating characteristics of renewable energy sources, especially for wind power, can deteriorate the stability of PEMWE. Triangular voltage cycle is well able to simulate fluctuating wind power, but its effect on the durability has not been investigated extensively. In this study, the performance degradation of the PEMWE cell operated with the triangular voltage cycling was investigated at different ramping rates. The measured current responses during the cycling gradually decreased for both ramping rates, and I-V curve measurements before and after the cycling confirmed the degradation of the performances of PEMWE. For both measurements, the degradation rate was larger for 300 mV s^-1 than 30 mV s^-1, and they were determined as 0.36 and 1.26 mV h^-1 (at the current density of 2 A cm^-2) at the ramping rates of 30 and 300 mV s^-1, respectively. The comparison with other studies on triangular voltage cycling also indicate that an increase in the ramping rate accelerates the deterioration of the PEMWE performance. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy results showed that the Ir catalyst was oxidized and did not dissolve during the voltage cycling. This study suggests that the ramping rate of the triangular voltage cycling is an important factor for the evaluation of the durability of PEMWE cells.

현재 경수로형 원자력발전소의 일차계통 냉각수 정화를 위해 사용되는 이온교환방법은 제염효과가 우수하고 공정이 단순하며 조작이 간편하기 때문에 광범위하게 활용되고 있으나 비금속성분도 함께 제거하여 수지의 수명이 단축되고 폐이온교환수지가 발생되는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 일차계통 냉각수 정화를 위해 사용되는 이온교환수지의 대체공정으로서 전기투석과 이온교환이 결합된 전기탈이온법의 사용가능성을 조사하기 위해 모의 용액을 이용하여 다양한 실험조건하에서 수행하였다. 실험결과 유입유량이 증가할수록 제거율은 증가하고 전력소모는 감소하였다. 금속성분 제거율에서 제염계수 1000으로 일정한 경향을 나타내었으며 전력소모 면에서는 TDS 3 ppm이하를 기준으로 유입유량이 $2.0{\ell}/min$일 때 $40.3mWh/{\ell}$ 이었다. 유입유속이 동일한 조건에서는 희석실에 채운 이온 교환수지의 함량이 증가할수록 금속성분 제거율과 전력소모에서 효과적인 것으로 평가되었다. 이온 교환수지를 채운 전기탈이온 공정은 이온교환수지 자체에 의한 수리적 저항과 현탁질에 의한 수지의 오염으로 인해 운전이 계속될수록 유량이 감소하게 된다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 이온교환수지 대신 이온전도성 스페이서를 설치하여 실험한 결과 유입유량 문제는 해결할 수 있었으나 전력소모와 금속성분 제거율 및 전류효율 면에서 비효율적인 것으로 평가되었다. 전기탈이온 공정의 연속운전에서도 금속성분 제거율에서 제염계수가 1000으로 안정적인 수준을 유지하였다.

새만금 호의 수질 개선을 위하여 국가에서 해수 유통을 증가시킴에 따라 해수 유통 빈도 증가로 인한 새만금 호 내 염분과 저층수 교환 변화를 알아보기 위하여, EFDC(Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code) 모델을 이용하였다. 갑문 개폐 횟수를 하루 1회에서 2회로 증가했을 때, 새만금 호 내부 수위는 최대 약 0.7 m 상승하였다. 염분은 서측 방조제 근방에서 2.12 psu 증가하였으며, 담수 유입 부근에서는 1.18 psu 감소하였다. 입자추적을 이용하여 저층수 교환 정도 분석한 결과, 수심 5m 이하 입자 잔류율은 Case 2(1일 2회 개방)에서 Case 1(1일 1회 개방)에 비해 2.52% 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 수문 개폐 횟수를 증가시켰을 때, 저층수 교환이 더 활발해 질 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 해수 유통 증가에 따른 염분 및 저층수 교환 증가로 새만금 호의 수질 개선이 될 수 있다고 판단된다.

고분자전해질 연료전지로 물을 전기분해하여 수소와 산소를 발생시킬 수 있다. 그러나 1.7V 이상의 높은 전압에서 수전해 반응이 일어나므로 전극과 고분자 전해질 막의 열화가 빠르게 진행된다. 수전해 과정에서 anode의 열화를 방지하기 위해 촉매로 지지체 없는 $IrO_2$를 보통 사용하는데 본 연구에서는 고분자전해질 연료전지용 Pt/C 촉매를 수전해 반응에 그대로 사용했을 때 전극과 막의 열화 현상을 분석하였다. 1.8~2.0 V 전압 범위에서 수전해 반응 후 고분자 전해질 연료전지 구동 조건에서 I-V, CV, 임피던스, LSV를 측정했다. 수전해 전압이 높을수록 전극과 막의 열화 속도가 증가하였다. 2.0 V에서 1분 동안 수전해 반응했을 때 수소 수율은 88%였고, 전극과 고분자 막이 열화되어 0.6 V에서 성능이 49% 감소하였다.

The performances of proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis depend on many factors such as materials, geometries, fabrication methods, operating conditions, and so forth. The fabrication method is concerned, membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) are a most important part to show different performances by different fabrication methods. The performance change of PEM water electrolysis was experimentally measured according to the fabrication differences of the anode electrodes. One point of view is the catalyst intrusion rate to the anode gas diffusion layer (GDL), and the other point of view is the catalyst loading distribution in depth of the anode GDL. Results show that the performances of MEA with deep intrusion of the catalysts are better in the range of low current densities but worse at higher current densities. The catalyst loading distribution does not affect significantly to the performance of PEM water electrolyser.

여수반도의 남단과 돌산도에 의해 둘러싸인 가막만은 면적 112$\textrm{km}^2$, 용적 7.09 $10^{8}$㎥, 남북방향의 길이 약 15km, 평균수심 약 6.3mdls 천해이다. 대조차는 약 3m이며 만내해수는 조류에 의하여 2개의 수로를 통해 외해수와 교류 교환된다. 밀물 때 만의 북쪽에 있는 여수항수로와 남쪽의 만구를 통하여 서로 다른 방향으로 유입된 해수는 만내에서 만나고, 썰물 때 다시 이들 만구를 통하여 유출한다. 이 해역은 여수항에 인접한 굴 주산지로서 생산성이 매우 높은 곳이며 도시 및 산업폐수가 날로 늘어날 것으로 예상되는 곳이다.

It is very important to quantitatively assess the movement of sea water and pollutant dispersion before or after constructing shore structures such as breakwater considering marine environment and long-term utilization of those structures. This assesment is possible through the use of simulation models designed to predict water movement and pollutant dispersion in a certain area. In this study the numerical computations were carried out to predict the sea water quality in the Ilgwang Harbor located at the east coast of Pusan. The flow patters were investigated before and after the development of Ilgwang Harbor. The computational models adopting ADI Method (Alternating Direction Implicit Method) were used here and were already verified from the previous studies. As a results of this study the tidal exchange in Ilgwang Harbor after development proved to be worse due to the increased semi-enclosed at the harbor limit. In order to improve the water quality of this area after development a new method was proposed to improve water quality in the semi-enclosed bay by creation and control of tidal residual currents. For this purpose the unsymmetric structures so called bottom roughness were introduced in this study. The simulation was carried out on the basis of the study by Komatsu et. al. and Gug and we made a conclusion that it is possible to generate a new tidal residual current and to increase the tidal exchange by application of bottom roughness arrangement.

A kinetic study for nitrate removal by anion exchange resin was performed using continuous column reactors. Kinetic approach from the packed bed showed the reaction rate constant k$_1$ was 0.07~0.17 $\ell$/mgㆍhr and maximum exchange quantity q$_{o}$ was 27.75~31.81 mg/g. The results from the continuous column well agreed with that from the batch reactor. An economic analysis of the water treatment plant by anion exchange resin with a regenerating system was performed to design plant and process. Based on the treatment of 20 mg/$\ell$ nitrate-contained wastewater of 10,000 gallons per day to 2 mg/$\ell$, total capital cost and total annual cost are estimated to be 836 million wons and 211 million wons, respectively.y.
