  • Alginate를 농도 별로 용액상태로 제조한 후 필름 메이커를 이용하여 필름 형태로 만든 후 3 wt%의 $ZnCl_2$ 수용액에 필름을 고화시킨 후 수세하여 $60^{\circ}C$의 건조기에서 약 20분 동안 건조시켜 zinc alginate 필름을 제조하였다. 필름의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 항균성 및 점도와 FTIR, TGA, SEM, EDS 및 접촉각, 인장측정, 용해도분석 등을 측정하였다. 항균성 시험 결과, zinc alginate 필름에서는 두 균주(포도상구균, 폐렴간균) 모두 우수한 항균력이 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 9 wt%의 sodium alginate로 제조한 zinc alginate 필름의 표면은 다른 농도별 필름보다 균일한 형태를 나타내었으며, $ZnCl_2$ 응고액에 잘 고화될 때 단단하고 거친 느낌의 단면 형태를 확인하였다. Zinc alginate 필름의 인장강도는 가교결합에 의해 sodium alginate 용액의 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, 초기 열 분해 온도가 점차적으로 높아지고 있는 형태를 보였다.

  • The maximum relative growth rate of algae treated with Zinc was shown as follows: 15, 8, 6, 3 and -5% per day for the rather sensitive Chlorella sp. populations, or 14, 7, 5 and 4% per day for the Pleurococcus sp. populations, and 22, 20, 13, 9 and 7% per day for the more resistant Scenedesmus spinosus populations, respectively for the culture medium with 0, 1, 5, 10 and 20 ppm of Zinc treatment. With mixed cultures of Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus spinosus populations, the growth of the Chlorella sp. population overcame that of the S. spinomsus population from the cultures treated with relatively low concentration of Zinc. On the contrary, the population growth of the latter resistant species overcame that of the former sensitive species when the concentration of Zinc was above 5 ppm Zn of the medium. This paper describes the results of further investigations of the effects evaluated by direct cell counts method, optical density comparisons, oxygen production and consumption determinations and the measurements of the fate of Zinc treated in the solutions.

  • This work investigated the influence of concentration and applied potential on the characteristics of zinc powder (purity, apparent density, morphology, particle size distribution, and particle zeta potential) produced by the electrochemical process from waste brass. High-purity zinc powder is obtained using selective leaching of industrial brass waste in acidic, neutral, and alkaline solutions. The free immersion method with and without voltage using linear polarization technique is used. In the electrochemical process, hydrochloric acid HCl in three different concentrations (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3) M is used. The time and the distance between the electrodes are set to be 30 min and 3 cm, respectively. It has been found that the percentage purity is 98%, 96%, and 94% for the acidic, neutral, and alkaline solutions, respectively. In addition, the morphology of zinc powder analyzed by SEM was dendritic and mossy. It has been recorded that the purity of zinc increases with the increase of the concentration and applied potential. The highest value of purity for zinc powder was %98.58 in 1000 mV and 0.3M concentration for graphite cathode.

  • One hundred thirty-four putative Bacillus isolates were recovered from soybean rhizosphere soils of Nimar region to select effective zinc solubilizers for increased assimilation of zinc (Zn) in soybean seeds. These isolates were screened in vitro for zinc-solubilization ability on Tris-minimal agar medium supplemented separately with 0.1% zinc in the form of zinc oxide, zinc phosphate, and zinc carbonate. Of all, 9 isolates and a reference Bacillus cereus ATCC 13061 were characterized and identified as Bacillus species based on Gram-positive reaction, endospore-forming cells, and the presence of iso-$C_{15:0}$ and anteiso-$C_{15:0}$ as predominant fatty acids. On plate assay, two isolates KHBD-6 and KHBAR-1 showed a greater diameter of solubilization halo and colony diameter on all the three zinc compounds. The isolates KHBD-6, KHBAR-1, BDSD-2-2C, and KHTH-4-1 and the reference strain ATCC 13061 had higher soluble zinc concentration in liquid medium supplemented with zinc phosphate and zinc carbonate compounds as compared with the other isolates and uninoculated control. Evaluation under microcosm conditions showed that inoculation of isolates KHBD-6 (57.34 ${\mu}g/g$), KHBAR-1 (55.67 ${\mu}g/g$), and strain ATCC 13061 (53.10 ${\mu}g/g$) significantly increased the Zn concentration in soybean seeds as compared with the other isolates and uninoculated control (47.14 ${\mu}g/g$). This study suggests the occurrence of zinc-solubilizing Bacillus in soils of Nimar region and isolates KHBD-6 and KHBAR-1 were found to be promising zinc solubilizers for increased assimilation of Zn in soybean seeds.

  • Purpose: Zinc is known to be associated with osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Osterix as zinc-finger transcription factor is also related to osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether zinc modulates osterix gene and protein expression in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Methods: MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in zinc-dependent concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, 5, or 15 µM Zn), along with osteogenic control (normal osteogenic medium) for 1 and 3 days. The gene and protein expression levels of osterix were analyzed by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting, respectively. Results: Zinc increased osteoblast proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner at day 1 and 3. Similarly, zinc increased the activity of osteoblast marker enzyme alkaline phosphatase in cells and media in a zinc concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, our results showed that the pattern of osterix gene expression by zinc was down-regulated within the low levels of zinc treatments (0.5-1 µM) at day 1, but it was up-regulated after extended culture period at day 3. Osterix protein expression by zinc showed the similar pattern of gene expression, which down-regulated by low zinc levels at day 1 and up-regulated back at day 3 as the early stage of osteoblast differentiation. Conclusion: Our results suggest that zinc modulates osterix gene and protein expression in osteoblasts, particularly in low level of zinc at early stage of osteoblast differentiation period.

  • EAF's dust has been treated mainly by pyrometallurgical reduction process in rotary kiln furnace to recover valuable metal elements such as Zn and to avoid the disposal of hazardous materials to waste. Recently, hydrometallurgical eletrowinning of zinc from a zinc-amino chloride solution obtained by the leaching of EAF's dust was developed to recover high grade zinc metal from EAF’s dust. But there are some disadvantages in each process such as difficulty of operation condition control and sticking problem in kiln process and low extractability and recovery of zinc owing to insoluble zinc-ferrite in electrowinning process. We propose a new combined process of pyrometallurgical one and hydrometallurgical one to treat EAF's dust efficiently and economically. In this study, ammonium chloride solution leaching of crude zinc oxide recovered from reduction of EAF's dust was carried out to find out the efficiency of zinc extraction from it and the possibility for performance of eletrowinning in the proposed process. Effects of various leaching variables ruck as leaching temperature, concentration of leaching solution and leaching time were investigated. And the leaching results of the crude zinc oxide were compared with those of EAF's dust. The extraction percents of zinc in ammonium chloride solution leaching of the crude zinc oxide recovered from reduction of EAF's dust were above 80% after 60 minutes of leaching under the leaching condition of 4M NH$_4$CI concentration and above leaching temperature of 7$0^{\circ}C$. And the concentrations of zinc in the leached solution were obtained above 50g/$\ell$. The activation energy calculated for zinc extraction in NH$_4$CI leaching was 58.1 KJ/㏖ for EAF's dust and 15.8 KJ/㏖ for the crude zinc oxide recovered from reduction of EAF's dust.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of several zinc solutions including Artemisia asiatica-containing zinc solution on concentration of oral volatile sulfur compounds(VSCs). We determined the VSCs concentration of breath of human subjects before and after use of zinc solutions(O.25% $ZnF_2$ Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnCl_2$ and Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnCl_2$ solutions) The results were as follows : 1. 0.25% $ZnCl_2$ solution was more effective than 0.25% $ZnF_2$ solution in reducing the concentration of oral VSCs and the maintenance duration of effectiveness. 2. Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnCl_2$ solution was more effective than Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnF_2$ solution in reducing the concentration of oral VSCs and the maintenance duration of effectiveness. 3. Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnF_2$ solution and 0.25% $ZnF_2$ solution showed no significant difference in reducing the concentration of oral VSCs and the maintenance duration of effectiveness but, Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnF_2$ solution was slightly more effective. 4. Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnCl_2$ solution and 0.25% $ZnCl_2$ solution showed no significant difference in reducing the concentration of oral VSCs and the maintenance duration of effectiveness but, Artemisia asiatica-containing 0.25% $ZnF_2$ solution was slightly more effective.

  • 2가 금속인 구리와 아연을 다양한 농도로 각각 담배모자이크 바이러스(TMV)에 처리하여 감염성에 어떤 영향을 주는 가를 조사하였다. TMV의 감염성은 아연의 첨가에 의해 활성화된 반면, 구리의 첨가에 의해 감소되었다. 아연을 첨가한 바이러스 접종원을 담배 잎에 처리한 결과 바이러스만을 접종한 잎보다 더 많은 국부반점이 생성되었다. TMV의 감염성을 감소시키는 구리의 효과는 구리의 농도에 관련되는 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 전기영동으로 다양한 농도의 구리와 아연에 처리된 TMV를 분석한 결과 그 특성이 변화됨이 관찰되었다. 아연 200mM 이상의 농도에 노출시 바이러스는 완전히 분해되었고, 40-20 mM 농도에서는 간신히 바이러스의 흔적을 찾을 수 있으나, 2 mM 농도에서는 상당히 안정되었다. 구리의 경우 20 mM 이하의 농도에 처리되었을 때 구조적으로 완전하게 남아있으나, 100 mM 이상의 처리에서는 완전히 분해되었다.

  • The study was conducted to determine the effect of Salmonella typhymurium lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge on egg-laying performance, inflammatory response, zinc metabolism in layer fed diets supplemented with organic or inorganic zinc since 3-wk-old. The three dietary treatments were corn-soybean meal basal diet without supplemental zinc or with supplemental zinc at 60 mg/kg zinc from $ZnSO_4$ or zinc amino acid complex (ZnAA). At the age of 58 wk-old, twelve hens from each dietary treatment were allotted into two sub-groups. On day 1, 3, 5, 7 of the $58^{th}$ week of age, six birds of one sub-group were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 2 ml LPS (1.0 $\ell$/ml) or sterile saline. Neither zinc source ${\times}$ immune challenge interaction nor zinc source effect on egg production performance was observed (p>0.05), LPS-challenge decreased egg production (p<0.04) and increased percentage of cracked eggs (p <0.01). With LPS challenged, the fever response of hens fed ZnAA peaked and subsided earlier than in hens fed $ZnSO_4$ or basal diet. Serum IL-1$\beta$ at 3 h was higher (p<0.01), but lower (p<0.001) at 12 h post-challenge with LPS in hens fed ZnAA than $ZnSO_4$. In salinetreated groups, serum IL 1$\beta$ was higher in hens fed ZnAA than the basal diet at 3 h post-injection (p<0.01). LPS-challenged birds had lower serum zinc and higher zinc sequestered in liver and spleen (p<0.001). In saline-treated birds, there was no difference in zinc concentration of serum, liver and spleen among different dietary treatments (p>0.05). Supplementation of 60 mg/kg zinc from either ZnAA or $ZnSO_4$ significantly (p<0.05) elevated metallothionein (MT) concentration in liver and spleen. MT concentration in liver of birds fed ZnAA diet was higher than in those fed $ZnSO_4$ diet (p<0.05). The magnitude of increase of hepatic and splenic MT due to LPS challenge was higher by supplementation of ZnAA than $ZnSO_4$. The results suggest that zinc amino acid complex enhanceed MT synthesis and zinc sequestered in liver and spleen and increased the sensitivity to immune response due to LPS challenge.
