Inorganic ion exchange compounds (IECs) including hydrotalcites and bentonite clays are a well known classes of layered mixed metal hydroxides or silicates that demonstrate ion exchange properties. These compounds have a range of applications from water purification to catalyst supports. The use of synthetic versions of these compounds as environmentally friendly additives to paints for storage and release of inhibitors is a new and emerging application. In this paper, the general concept of storage and release of inhibiting ions from IEC-based particulate pigments added to organic coatings is presented. The unique aspects of the IEC structure and the ion exchange phenomenon that form the basis of the storage and release characteristic are illustrated in two examples comprising an anion exchanging hydrotalcite compound and a cation exchanging bentonite compound. Examples of the levels of corrosion protection imparted by use of these types of pigments in organic coatings applied to aluminum alloy substrates is shown. How corrosion inhibition translates to corrosion protection during accelerated exposure testing by organic coatings containing these compounds is also presented.

This paper provides an overview of the role of membranes in bioelectrochemical systems (BESs). Bioelectrochemical systems harvest clean energy from waste organic sources by employing indigenous exoelectrogenic bacteria. This energy is extracted in the form of bioelectricity or valuable biofuels such as ethanol, methane, hydrogen, and hydrogen peroxide. Various types of membranes were applied in these systems, the most common membrane being the cation exchange membrane. In this paper, we discuss three major bioelectrochemical technology research areas namely microbial fuel cells (MFCs), microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) and microbial desalination cells (MDCs). The operation principles of these BESs, role of membranes in these systems and various factors that affect their performance and economics are discussed in detail. Among the three technologies, the MFCs may be functional with or without membranes as separators while the MECs and MDCs require membrane separators. The preliminary economic analysis shows that the capital and operational costs for BESs will significantly decrease in the future due mainly to differences in membrane costs. Currently, MECs appear to be cost-competitive and energy-yielding technology followed by MFCs. Future research endeavors should focus on maximizing the process benefits while simultaneously minimizing the membrane costs related to fouling, maintenance and replacement.

The Cyt1Aa protein of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis is known to synergize mosquitocidal proteins of B. thuringiensis and Bacillus sphaericus strains. Cyt1Aa is highly lipophilic, and after binding in vivo to the midgut microvillar membrane serves as a "receptor" for mosquitocidal Cry proteins, which subsequently form cation channels that kill mosquito larvae. Here we report that Cyt1Aa can serve a similar function for lepidopteran-specific Cry proteins of B. thuringiensis in certain mosquito larvae. Engineering Cyt1Aa into the HD-1 isolate of B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki enhanced toxicity against $4^{th}$ instars of Aedes aegypti, but not against $4^{th}$ instars of Culex quinquefasciatus.

Urea intercalated into montmorillonite (MT) exhibits remarkably enhanced N use efficiency, maintaining its fast effectiveness. This study dealt with the release property of urea from metal-urea-clay hybrid with MT (MUCH) under continuous-flow conditions and the cumulative impacts of its successive application on physicochemical properties of soils. Releases of urea were completed within 4 hrs under continuous-flow condition regardless of the types and the leaching solutions. However, urea release property was significantly affected by both the form of fertilizer and the presence of electrolytes in solution. The fast release property of urea from MUCH in continuous-flow condition was not significantly affected by soil properties such as soil pH and soil texture. In addition, its successive application did not lead to any noticeable change in soil physicochemical properties, water stable aggregate rate, water holding capacity and cation exchange capacity in both sandy loam and clay loam soils. Therefore, this study strongly supported that urea intercalated into MT could be applied as fast-effective N fertilizer, in particular for additional N supply.

A zeolite material (ZCH) was synthesized from coal fly ash in an HD thermal power plant using a fusion/hydrothermal method. ZCH with high crystallinity could be synthesized at the NaOH/CFA ratio of 0.9. Ion-exchanged ZCH adsorbents for ammonia removal were prepared by ion-exchanging various cation (Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Fe³⁺, and Mn²⁺) on the ZCH. They were used to evaluate the ammonia adsorption breakthrough curves and adsorption capacities. The ammonia adsorption capacities of the ZCH and ion-exchanged ZCHs were high in the order of Mn-ZCH > Cu-ZCH ≅ Co-ZCH > Fe-ZCH > ZCH according to NH₃-TPD measurements. Mn-ZCH ion-exchanged with Mn has more Brønsted acid sites than other adsorbents. The ion-exchanged Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Fe³⁺, or Mn²⁺ ions uniformly distributed on the surface or in the pores of the ZCH, and the number of acidic sites increased on the alumina sites to form the crystal structure of zeolite material. Therefore, when the ion-exchanged ZCH was used, the adsorption capacity for ammonia gas increased.

해수나 염수에서 마그네슘을 추출하는 전해 반응은 마그네슘 이온을 주로 수산화마그네슘 형태로 마그네슘을 침전-회수하는 기술로, 양이온교환막, 음이온교환막, 전기투석, 비막 방식 등으로 분류된다. 최근 연구는 마그네슘 함유 해수나 염수를 사용하여 마그네슘의 회수 효율성 및 선택성 증진에 집중되며, 향후 일반 해수를 사용할 경우에도 효과적인 마그네슘 회수가 기대된다. 향후에는, 스케일업 시스템의 장기운전을 통해 마그네슘 및 다양한 유가물질에 대한 선택적 고효율 회수의 최적화와 더불어 경제성 및 환경성을 증진하는 것이 중요하다. 함께 막의 수명 및 교체주기를 고려하여 운전비용을 현실적으로 산정해야 하며, 다양한 인자에 대한 모니터링 데이터를 기반으로 상세하고 실용적인 공정 모델이 필요하다.

말단기에 페닐(B), 벤질(Bz), 피리딘(Py), 퀴놀린(Q) 또는 나프탈렌(Np), 그리고 에테르 사슬에 산소(O) 또는 황(S) 주개원자를 갖는 몇 가지 포단드를 합성하여 1가 양이온과의 결합특성을 NMR 적정법과 용매추출법으로 조사하였다. NMR 적정에 의하면 대부분의 포단드는 1가 양이온과 1:1 착물을 형성하며, 특히 은이온과의 상호작용에서 에테르 사슬의 황 원자는 안정도를 증가시키는 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 포단드를 이용하여 에테르 수용액층에서 클로로포름층으로 알칼리 금속, 은, 탈륨 및 암모늄 등의 피크린산 1가 양이온염을 추출하였다. 은이온에 대한 추출률은 $Q_2O_4$, $Q_2O_5$ 및 $BQO_5$와 같이 퀴놀린을 포함하는 포단드의 경우 각각 86.8, 86.6 및 48.0%였으나 나프탈렌을 갖는 $Np_2O_4$ 및 $Np_2O_5$에 의해서는 거의 추출되지 않았다. 한편, $Bz_2O_3S_2$(89.4%), $B_2O_2S_2$(76.8%), $B_2O_3S_2$(58.9%), $Py_2O_2S_2$(58.8%), $Py_2O_3S_2$(42.1%) 및 $B_2O_4S$(15.0%)의 경우, 황 원자와 벤질기를 갖는 $Bz_2O_3S_2$가 가장 큰 은이온 추출 선택성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 HSAB 이론에 의한 황 원자와 은이온과의 강한 상호작용 뿐 아니라 페닐기 대신에 벤질기가 치환됨으로써 유연한 메틸렌기 공간에 의해 두 방향족 말단기 사이의 ${\pi}-{\pi}$ 스택킹 상호작용이 효과적으로 증가하기 때문이다. 추출계수는 안정도 및 추출률과 비슷한 경향성을 나타내었는데, 이로부터 추출계수에 주된 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 포단드의 구조와 밀접한 관계가 있는 안정도임을 알 수 있었다.

Biochar is the carbon solid produced through the pyrolysis of a biomass from organic sources such as agricultural waste, animal manure, and sludge under limited or anaerobic conditions. Biochar has the effect of reducing greenhouse gases through the carbon sequestration method; additionally, biochar is known to function as a soil amendment. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the application of biochar on the growth characteristics of Chinese cabbage at Chungnam National University in Daejeon, Korea. The Chinese cabbage was grown for 50 days in a glasshouse in pots. A pruning branch was used to produce the bead and pellet forms of biochar through pyrolysis. The biochar was added to the soil at 0, 2, and 5% by weight. The Chinese cabbage with the 2% treatment of the bead form of biochar had the highest fresh weight ($149.43{\pm}15.92g\;plant^{-1}$) which was increased by 10% compared to the control ($136.91{\pm}31.46g\;plant^{-1}$). Moreover, for the 5% treatment of the bead form of biochar ($60.91{\pm}9.82g\;plant^{-1}$), the growth decreased by 57% compared to the control. As the content of the bead form of biochar increased, the shoot dry weight, leaf number, leaf length and lead width that appeared decreased. An increase in the total organic matter, Avail. $P_2O_5$, Ex. cation and EC was observed when the biochar content was increased. Our results support the application of 2% biochar in the bead form for increased growth of Chinese cabbage.

사용후핵연료내 핵분열생성물중 Sm 동위원소 정량을 위한 분리 및 정제에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 일차적으로 핵분열생성물 대신 여러 비방사성 금속이온(Cs, Ba, Gd, Eu, Sm 및 Nd)들로 구성된 모의용액을 시료로 사용하였다. Sm은 AG $1{\times}8$ 음이온교환수지관에서 1 M $HNO_3$/90% MeOH 용액으로 세척 후 0.5 M $HNO_3$/80% MeOH 용액으로 용리하였다. 용출액에 함유되어 있는 미량의 Ba을 제거하기 위하여 0.2 M alpha-hydroxyisobutyric acid 용액(pH 4.5-4.6)으로 전처리한 AG $50W{\times}8$ 양이온교환수지관에서 정제하였으며, 순수한 Sm을 90% 이상 분리, 회수할 수 있었다. 실제 PWR 사용후핵연료에 함유되어 있는 Sm의 분리 및 정제에 적용하여 용출액을 질량분석한 결과 Gd, Eu, Pm, Nd 및 BaO에 의한 동중원소 영향이 나타나지 않았다. $^{154}Sm$ 스파이크를 이용한 동위원소희석 질량분석법으로 사용후핵연료 중의 Sm 및 각각의 성분 동위원소($^{147}Sm$, $^{148}Sm$, $^{149}Sm$, $^{150}Sm$, $^{151}Sm$, $^{152}Sm$ and $^{154}Sm$)들을 정량하였다.
