염소로 소독된 음용수에서 수백 ng/L의 농도까지 검출되는 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone(MX)를 시료 농축 후 액-액 추출(LLE), 메틸 유도체화 및 GC-MS로 정량 분석하였다. 4 L의 물 시료를 감압회전증발기를 사용해 30 ℃에서 0.4 L로 농축하였다. 물 중의 MX는 ethyl acetate(100 mL × 2)를 용매로 사용하여 추출하였으며, 추출액 중 MX는 10 % H₂SO₄ in methanol로 methyl 유도체를 만들었다. MX의 회수율은 73.8 %이었으며, 이는 수지 흡착법의 38.1 %보다 높았다. 정량한계와 반복성(RSD)은 각각 10 ng/L와 2.2 %로 추정되었다. 이 결과는 시간이 더 많이 소요되는 수지 흡착법의 대체 방법으로 LLE가 사용될 수 있다는 것을 보여 주었다.

In this study, Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with GC/FID was studied as a possible alternative to liquid-liquid extraction for the analysis of BTEX and MTBE. Experimental parameters affecting the SPME process (such as kind of fibers, adsorption time, desorption time, volume ratio of sample to headspace, salt addition, and magnetic stirring) were optimized. Experimental parameters such as CAR/PDMS, adsorption time of 20 min, desorption time of 5 min at $250^{\circ}C$, headspace volume of 50 mL, sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration of 25% combined with magnetic stirring were selected in optimal experimental conditions for analysis of BTEX and MTBE. The general affinity of analytes to CAR/PDMS fiber was high in the order p-Xylene>Toluene>Ethylbenzene>MTBE>Benzene. The linearity of $R^2$ for BTEX and MTBE was from 0.970 to 0.999 when analyte concentration ranges from $30{\mu}g/L$ to $500{\mu}g/L$, respectively. The relative standard deviation (% RSD) were from 2.5% to 3.2% for concentration of $100{\mu}g/L$ (n=5), respectively. Finally, the limited of detection (LOD) observed in our study for BTEX and MTBE were from $7.5{\mu}g/L$ to $15{\mu}g/L$, respectively.

Livestock manure is generally beneficial to soil and crop production when appropriate amount is applied, but excessive application may be detrimental to soil and water environments. A proper protocol of livestock waste treatment is required to manage the quality of soil and water. A trickling filter system using rice straw media was employed to treat piggery wastewater from small-scaled livestock farms as an alternative to the currently available methods. Batches of piggery wastewater were treated with this system, and the byproducts of rice straw media and trickling filtrate were applied to the soil with cultivating rye (Secale cereale L.). Objective of this research was to characterize these byproducts for the sustainable soil amendments and rye production. Both the treated straw medium and filtrate were proven to be effective organic fertilizers for rye plant development, with the enhanced but balanced absorption of nutrients. The synergistic effects of filtrate in addition to straw application did not show, but the filtrate appeared to lead to a higher water content of the plant. No specific nutrient deficiency or toxicity symptom was shown due to the salts derived from the byproducts applied. Chemical parameters of the soil quality were significantly improved with the application of straw medium either with or without the filtrate. Judging from parameters relating to the salt accumulations, such as sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), electrical conductivity (EC), exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP), potassium adsorption ratio (KAR), and residual P concentrations, the byproducts from piggery wastewater exhibited no detrimental effects on soil quality within the ranges of treatments used. In addition to the effectiveness of the rice straw trickling filter system for the small-scaled swine farms, both rice straw medium and filtrate could be recycled for the sustainable soil amendment and plant nutrition.

The goal of this study was to estimate the possible scattering distance of deicer from the highway and the impact range of deicer on soil quality in terms of plant growth. Among the major elements (Ca²⁺, Cl^- and Na⁺) of deicer, Ca²⁺and Cl^- are usually applied as fertilizer to soil. Therefore both elements (Ca²⁺and Cl^-) were not appropriate for a tracer of deicer at the agricultural area. In this study, SAR (sodium adsorption ratio) of soil was proposed as an alternative tracer to confirm the distribution of the deicer around the highway areas. Because deicer is the main anthropogenic source of Na⁺ around the highway areas and does harm to the physical properties of soil and plant growth through the destruction of soil aggregate, SAR would be an recommendable tracer to access the distribution of deicer as well as adverse effect on soil quality at highway areas. The influence range of deicer based on SAR of soil was estimated to be less than 20 m distance from the highway even though the possible flying distance of deicer was found to be more than 100 m from the highway. However the deicer seriously deposited within 10 m from the highway.

원자력을 이용하는 시설 및 그와 관련한 연구개발실험실로부터 각종 화학폐수가 다량으로 발생되고 있으며 이들 폐수를 화학폐수 전용처리시설로 처리하고 있으나 최종 건조 케이크내에 함유된 우라늄의 농도가 규제면제농도인 10 Bq/g을 약간 초과하므로서 방사성폐기물로 분류하여 별도로 저장하고 있다. 화학폐수 처리후 침전된 슬러지내의 우라늄 농도를 분석한 결과 우라늄이 용액상이 아닌 침전물상에 존재함을 알았으며, 이들 우라늄을 침전물로부터 용액상으로 용해하기 위하여 강질산으로 용해시켰다. 그 결과 대부분의 우라늄이 슬러지의 침전물로부터 용액상으로 용출되었으며, 용해후 얻어진 슬러지 산용해액에 대해 IRN-77과 비드형으로 새로 제조한 다이포실 수지를 실 폐액처리에 적용하기 위한 흡착실험을 수행하였다. IRN-77과 다이포실 비드를 단독, 혼합 또는 단계적으로 사용한 결과, 80%이상의 우라늄 흡착효율을 얻기 위해서는 산용해액과 동등량 또는 그 이상의 다량의 수지가 소요되었다. 한편 침전 슬러지를 압착하여 부피가 더욱 축소된 탈수케이크를 산용해한 결과, 탈수케이크 대 질산의 비율이 3:2에서 우라늄의 함량을 최대 11 mg/L을 얻었으며 슬러지 용해시보다 적은 양으로 산용해가 가능하였다. 탈수 케이크 산용해액의 방사능 농도는 6.97E-01 Bq/ml 로서 기존의 자연증발처리시설에서 처리가 가능한 수준이었으며, 건조케이크의 비방사능은 11.2 Bq/g로서 최종 폐기물로 발생될 폐증발천의 비방사능이 4.3 Bq/g으로 평가되어 우라늄 동위원소의 규제면제치인 10 Bq/g 미만이므로 자체처분이 가능한 수준이었다. 결론적으로 화학폐수를 처리한 후 부피가 최소화된 탈수케이크에서 우라늄을 산용해시키고 최종 산용해액은 기존의 자연증발시설로 증발처리하면 방사성 건조케이크의 발생 없이 또한 자연증발천도 자체처분이 가능한 최적의 방안을 도출하였다.

This research investigated the preparation of activated carbon derived from Krabok (Irvingia malayana) seed shells to improve the quality of crude glycerol obtained during biodiesel production. The activated carbon was prepared using a dry chemical activation method with NaOH, utilizing an innovative biomass incinerator. The results revealed that the resulting KC/AC-two-step exhibited favorable physicochemical adsorption properties, with a high surface area of 758.72 m²/g and an iodine number of 611.10 mg/g. These values meet the criteria of the industrial product standard for activated carbon No. TIS 900-2004, as specified by the Ministry of Industry in Thailand. Additionally, the adsorption efficiency for methylene blue reached an impressive 99.35 %. This developed activated carbon was then used to improve the quality of crude glycerol obtained from biodiesel production. The experimental results showed that the KC/AC-two-step increased the purity of crude glycerol to 73.61 %. In comparison, commercially available activated carbon (C/AC) resulted in a higher crude glycerol purity of 81.19 %, as analyzed by the GC technique. Additionally, the metal content (Zn, Cu, Fe, Pb, Cd, and Na) in purified glycerol using KC/AC-two-step was below the standards for heavy metals permitted in food and cosmeceuticals by the Food and Drug Administration of Thailand and the European Committee for Food Contact Materials and Articles. As a result, it can be inferred that Krabok seed shells have favorable properties for producing activated carbon suitable as an adsorbent to enhance crude glycerol purity. Furthermore, the improved crude glycerol from this research has potential for various industrial applications.

The efficiency of powdered activated carbon (PAC) for removing taste and odor (T&O) in drinking water supplies is dependent on the contact time, quality of mixing, and the presence of competing compounds. All of these are strongly influenced by the stage in the treatment process at which the PAC is added. In conventional water treatment plants (WTPs), PAC is commonly added into the rapid mixing basin where chemicals such as coagulants, alkaline chemicals, and chlorine, are simultaneously applied. In order to prevent interference between PAC and other water treatment chemicals, alternative locations for addition of PAC, such as at transmission pipe in the water intake tower or into a separated PAC contactor, were investigated. Whatever the location, addition of PAC apart from other water treatment chemicals was more effective for geosmin removal than simultaneous addition. Among several combinations, the sequence 'chlorine-PAC-coagulant' produced the best result with respect to geosmin removal efficiency. Consequently, when PAC has to be applied to cope with T&O problems in conventional WTPs, it is very important to prevent interference with other water treatment chemicals, such as chlorine and coagulant. Adequate contact time should also be given for adsorption of the T&O compounds onto the PAC. To satisfy these conditions, installation of a separated PAC contactor would be the superior alternative if there is space available in the WTP. If necessary, PAC could be added at transmission pipe in the water intake tower and still provide some benefit for T&O treatment.

The amount of petroleum consumption has been Increased according to the industrialization and It leads to the increase of the possibility of marine oil pollution. In Korea, some countermeasures including oil skimmer, gelling agent and herding agent of oil have been used for the remediation of the pollution. However, most of them have lets of shortcomings in the application under in-situ condition, because they are sensitive to the situation such as geographical feature, the wind and the tide. In reported literature, the natural powdered oil absorbent which is made of peat moss is an effective mean to clean spilled oil from lake or coast. However, the peat moss is a natural resource which is only Produced from a specific cold weather are like Canada. This indicates that the alternative materials which is readily obtained from everywhere are needed for powdered oil absorbent. Therefore. in the study, same natural materials including pine leaves and straw are tested as the alternative materials for the absorbent. The raw materials were dried and treated by heat at various temperature during several Periods and then. shattered by a grain cracking machine. The oil sorption capacity of the prepared materials was compared according to the methods of heat treatment and their sizes. The proportion of hydrogen cyanide to combustion of the absorbents was measured to confirm their final disposal methods. The biodegradability test of the absorbents was carried our to evaluate possibility of a side pollution in the coast. In was found that the heat treatment of pine leaves enhanced the capacity of oil sorption and decreased the water sorption. The maximum oil sorption was observed for the material treated at 18$0^{\circ}C$for 60 min. The amount of hydrogen cyanide from the combustion were 0.09ml/g, 0.07ml/g for pine leaves and straw respectively meaning that the final disposal by combustion might be feasible. The amount or organic carbon extracted from pine leaves during 7 days was up to 0.015g organic carbon from one gram of pine leaves. but the degradation was as fast as for glucose. It is concluded that the pine leaves can be served as a good raw material for the powdered oil absorbent like peat moss.
