The cyanobacterium Anabaena doliolum Ind1 isolated from a coal mining site was tested for removal of cadmium at optimum pH 7.0 and temperature $25^{\circ}C$. The organism recorded high percentage of metal removal (92-69%) within seven days of exposure to 0.5-2.0 ppm cadmium. Biosorption onto the cell surface was the primary mode of metal removal. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) established hydroxyl, amides, carboxyl, sulphate and carbonyl groups to be the major functional groups on the cell surface involved in cadmium binding. Cellular ultrastructure and a range of vital physiological processes (i.e., photosynthetic pigments, respiration, photosynthesis, heterocyst frequency and nitrogenase activity) remained unaffected upon 0.5 ppm treatment; higher concentrations of cadmium exerted visible adverse effects. Amongst the five photosynthetic pigments tested, phycocyanin was the most targeted pigment (inhibition was 15-89%). Both respiration and photosynthetic activities were inhibited by cadmium with more severe effect seen on respiration. 2.0 ppm cadmium exposure also had drastic negative effect on nitrogenase activity (87% decreased).

Spiral-wound woven wire meshes packed bed rotating cylinder electrode was used for the simultaneous removal of cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) from a binary solution. The effects of weight percent of each metal on the removal and current efficiencies were studied at an operating current of 345A, while the effect of current on the removal efficiency of both metals was investigated at three levels of current (240, 345.and 400 mA). The experiments were carried out at constant rotation speed 800 rpm, pH = 3, and a total concentration of metals (500 ppm). The results showed that the removal efficiency of copper increased from 89% to 99.4% as its weight percent increased from 20% to100%. In a similar fashion, the removal efficiency of cadmium increased from 81% to 97% as its weight percent increased from 20% to100%. The results confirmed that the removal efficiency of any metals declined in the presence of the other. Increasing of current resulted in increasing the removal efficiency of both metals at different weight percents. The results confirmed that current efficiencies for removing of copper and cadmium simultaneously decline with increasing of electrolysis time and weight percent of cadmium or with decreasing the weight percent of copper. Current efficiency was higher at the initial stage of electrolysis for all weight percents of metals. The results showed that the decay of copper concentration was exponential at all weight percents of copper, confirming that the electrodeposition of copper is under mass transfer control in the presence of cadmium. While the decay of cadmium concentration was linear at lower weight percent of cadmium then changed to an exponential behavior at high weight percent of cadmium in the presence of copper.

The removal efficiency of cadmium by chitosan complex isolated from Aspersillus oryzae was investigated through laboratory experiments. The results of the study are as follows. The adsorption kinetics of cadmium was reached the adsorption equilibrium in approximately 20 minutes and the removal efficiency was showed 95.8%. The effect of temperature on cadmium adsorption by chitosan complex shows that as the temperature increased, the amount of cadmium adsorption per unit weight of chitosan complex increased. The correlation between amount of cadmium adsorption per unit weight of chitosan complex and temperature was obtained through the coefficient of determination($R^2$). $R^2$ values was 0.854(p<0.05). A linearized Freundlich equation was used to fit the acquired experimental data. As a result, Freundlich constant, the adsorption intensity(1/n) was 0.550, and the measure of adsorption(k) was 2.181. So, it was concluded that adsorption of cadmium by chitosan complex is effective.

This study was to investigate the cadmium removal effect of Korean green tea, black tea and oolong tea beverage on Cd administered rat, tissues and their excretions. Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 143±3.2g were divided into control and experimental groups. The control group were fed standard diet without cadmium . The experimental groups, which were fed standard diet containing 40 ppm Cd, were divided into 4 subgroups again , which were the groups given distilled water (CD group), 5% black tea (BT group), oolong tea (OT group ) and green tea (GT group), respectively. Five days before to sacrifice the rats, all 4 cadmium fed groups were supplied 1 ml of water with 600ppm Cd and control group were fed 1 ml of distilled water without Cd under the same dietary condition. After that, their excretion were collected separately for 3 days. In rat liver and kidney, accmulation of cadmium in 4 Cd administered groups were more than in control group and that of GT group was significantly less than CD group. In bone , also, accumulation of cadmium in 4 Cd administered groups was more than in control group and that of GT, OT,BT groups were much less than that of CD group. GT group was excreted more Cd in urine than Cd group. In feces, 3 tea feeding groups (BT, OT, GT group) were excreted Cd 1.7, 2.1, 2.4 times more than that of the CD group, respectively. We conclude that cadmium accumulations of GT feeding group in rat's liver, kidney and bone were much less than CD group , and the absorption and retention rate of GT group was significantly lower than CD group.

본 연구는 녹차음료가 음용수나 식품에 오염된 중금속 (Pb, Cd)의 장내 흡수 억제효과가 있는지를 조사하기위해 장내 흡수 조건을 고려한 한외여과막을 이용한 in vitro 실험을 실시하였다. 납과 카드뮴이 수질기준의 10배 또는 100배로 오염된 음료수애서 단독오염의 경우 납은 녹차, 홍차에서 $50{\sim}70%$, 보리차에서 $30{\sim}40%$의 제거율을 보였으며 카드뮴은 녹차, 홍차에서 $30{\sim}40%$, 보리차에서 $10{\sim}20%$의 제거율을 나타냈다. 납과 카드뮴이 혼합오염된 경우는 단독오염보다 제거효과가 낮았는데 이는 다엽성분 및 여과막에 대한 두 금속원소의 흡착경합에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다. 다류 원료에서 음료틀 침출하는$70^{\circ}C$, 2분과 $95^{\circ}C$, 10분외 두 조건은 비슷한 중금속 제거율을 보였다. 녹차의 페놀성 물질인 tannic acid 와 gallicd acid도 비슷한 중금속 제거효과를 보였다.

To examine the possibility of biomonitoring of heavy metal removal ability and soil, a study was performed to investigate the heavy metal removal ability and metal-binding protein (MBP) as detoxification process using Oenanthe stolonifera. After O. stolonifera was exposed to individuals (cadmium, zinc) and mixture (cadmium+zinc)for 4 days, removal rate of heavy metal and pH in the treatment medium was measured. MBP was assayed by means of ion exchange column chromatography. The exposure to mixture (Cd:76.8%, Zn:75%) rather than individuals (Cd:82.9%, Zn:90.4%) showed a synergism raising the toxic effect. Initial removal rate was different for each heavy metal : in case of exposure to cadmium it was over 60% on day 1, while for zinc it was 75~90% on day 4. Throughout the experimental period, pH value of treatment medium continuously decreased, since cortex in the roots may secret organic acid to adjust and prevent toxicity of metals. The existence or MBP in the 70~80 fraction and the presence of Zn-enzyme pool was ascertained with the column chromatography. This study demonstrated a possibility that heavy utilized as a biomarker of heavy metal pollution.

Cadmium telluride (CdTe) is being developed for thin film of the X-Ray detector recently. But a rough surface of the CdTe should be improved for resolution and signal speed. This paper shows the study on the improvement of surface roughness and removal rate by applying Chemical Mechanical Polishing. The conventional potassium hydroxide (KOH) based colloidal silica slurry could not realize a mirror surface without physical defects, resulting in low material removal rate and many scratches on surface. In order to enhance chemical reaction such as form oxidized layer on the surface of cadmium telluride, we used hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) as an oxidizer. Consequently, in case of 3 wt% concentration of hydrogen peroxide, the highest MRR (938 nm/min) and the lowest surface roughness ($R_{p-v}=10.69nm$, $R_a=0.8nm$) could be obtained. EDS was also used to confirm the generated oxide of cadmium telluride surface.

생분해성 음이온 계면활성제인 deoxycholic acid(DCA)의 미셀을 이용한 한외여과에서 카드뮴의 제거 특성을 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서는 교반 한외여과 셀을 사용하였으며, 한외여과 막은 분획분자량(molecular weight cut-off)이 서로 다른 Millipore사의 YM1, YM3, YM10 및 YM30을 사용하였다. DCA와 카드뮴의 혼합용액에서 DCA의 임계미셀농도는 순수 DCA 용액에서 보다 낮아지고, 미셀의 크기는 증가되었다. 카드뮴이온의 제거율은 사용한 막의 분획분자량에 의해서는 거의 영향이 없었으나, 카드뮴이온에 대한 DCA의 몰 비의 증가에 따라서는 급격히 증가하였다. 카드뮴이온에 대한 DCA의 몰 비가 3일 때 카드뮴이온의 제거율은 사용한 막에 관계없이 99.6% 이상이었다. 순수 투과플럭스에 대한 혼합용액의 투과플럭스의 비로 정의한 상대 투과플럭스는 YM3 > YM1 > YM10 > YM30 막의 순서로 감소하였다.

Iron precipitating organisms play a significant role in the formation of ferric hydroxide precipitate, which acts as strong adsorbent for toxic metal. In this respect four different iron precipitating cultures were isolated from Hutti gold mine surface winze water sample on citrate agar medium. The best isolate was screened out for metal removal study on the basis of fast visual iron precipitation. The selected isolate was identified as Enterobacter sp. based on routine biochemical tests and Biolog GN microplate results and as Enterobacter cloacae subsp. dissolvens by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis (GenBank accession number EU429448). Influence of medium composition, medium initial pH, the influence of inoculum size, effect of various media and ferric ammonium citrate concentration were studied on metal removal in shake flask experiments. Under the optimized conditions studied, E. cloacae showed $94{\pm}2$, $95{\pm}2$ and $70{\pm}2%$ of cadmium, copper and mercury removal from a simulated waste in shake flask studies. In lab scale column reactor more than 85% of copper and mercury removal was achieved.
