The fundamental experiments on the phosphorus removal from water were carried out by the batch and continuous reactors which used aluminium and copper plate. In this systems, the phosphorus was removed by aluminium ion generated with the electrochemical interaction (pitting corrosion) of aluminium and copper. In the batch experiments, the efficiencies of phosphorus removal increased when the surfaces of aluminium and copper plate were brushed. The phosphorus removal by aluminium ion was affected the copper plate and NaCI in this system. The optimal pH values were 5 and 6 for the phosphorus removal. The efficiency of phosphorus removal increased with increasing NaCI concentration, surface area of aluminium and copper plate. The $CUSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O$ instead of copper plate could be used as Cu source. The effluent $PO_4-P$ concentration as low as 2 $mg/{\ell}$ could have been obtained during the continuous experiment at HRT of 48 hrs.

In this study, a gas-liquid hybrid atmospheric pressure plasma reactor of the dielectric barrier discharge method was fabricated and characterized. The solubility of copper oxide in the organic acid solution was increased when argon having a larger atomic weight than helium was used during plasma discharge. There was no significant effect of mixing organic acid solutions under plasma discharge treatment on the variation of copper oxide's solubility. As the applied voltage for plasma discharge and the concentration of the organic acid solution increased, the dissolution and removal power of the copper oxide layer increased. Solubility of copper oxide was more affected by the concentration in organic acid solution rather than the variation of plasma applied voltage. The usefulness of hybrid plasma reactor for the surface cleaning process was confirmed.

Inhibition of pitting corrosion of the copper sprinkler tubes by removing dissolved oxygen in water with sodium sulfite was studied on the wet sprinkler systems operated in 258 household sites. First, air in the sprinkler tubing was removed by vacuum pumping. The tube was then filled with sodium sulfite dissolved in water. Sodium sulfite was very effective in maintaining a very low dissolved oxygen concentration in water in the sprinkler tube for the observation period of six months. Water leakage from the copper sprinkler tube was reduced significantly by using sodium sulfite. Both pitting corrosion process and pitting corrosion inhibition mechanism were investigated by examining microscopical and structural aspects of corrosion pits formed in failed copper sprinkler tube. Pitting corrosion was caused by pressurized air as well as sediments such as sand particles in copper tubes through oxygen concentration cells. It was confirmed microscopically that growth of corrosion pits was stopped by reducing dissolved oxygen concentration to a very level by using sodium sulfite.

The possibility of using carica papaya leaf powder for removal of copper from wastewater as a low cost adsorbent was explored. Different parameters that affect the adsorption process like initial concentration of metal ion, time of contact, adsorbent quantity and pH were evaluated and the outcome of the study was tested using adsorption isotherm models. A maximum of 90%-94.1% copper removal was possible from wastewater having low concentration of the metal using papaya leaf powder under optimum conditions by conducting experimental studies. The biosorption of copper ion was influenced by pH and outcome of experimental results indicate the optimum pH as 7.0 for maximum copper removal. Copper distribution between the solid and liquid phases in batch studies was described by isotherms like Langmuir adsorption and Freundlich models. The adsorption process was better represented by the Freundlich isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity of copper was measured to be 24.51 mg/g through the Langmuir model. Pseudo-second order rate equation was better suited for the adsorption process. A dynamic mode study was also conducted to analyse the ability of papaya leaf powder to remove copper (II) ions from aqueous solution and the breakthrough curve was described by an S profile. Present study revealed that papaya leaf powder can be used for the removal of copper from the wastewater and low cost water treatment techniques can be developed using this adsorbent.

A glassy carbon electrode(GCE) modified with nafion-DTPA (diethylene triamine-pentaacetic acid)-glycerol is used for the highly selective and sensitive determination of a trace amount of Cu(II). Various experimental parameters, which influenced the response of nafion-DTPA-glycerol modified electrode to Cu(II), are optimized. The Copper(II) is accumulated on the electrode surface by the formation of the complex in an open circuit, and the resulting surface is characterized by medium exchange, electrochemical reduction, and differential pulse voltammetry(DPV). The electrochemical response is evaluated with respect to concentration of modifier, pH and preconcentration time, quiet time, copper(II) concentration, and other variables. A linear range is obtained in the concentration range 1.0${\times}$10$^{-8}$ M-1.0${\times}$10$^{-6}$ MCu(II) with 7 min preconcentration time. The detection limit(3s) is as low as 2.36${\times}$10$^{-8}$ M (1.50 ppb).

Concern about green water problem has surfaced as a serious issue in Korea. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to research inhibition of green water and corrosion control of copper pipe in water service. This paper discovered that moderate corrosion inhibitors can solve the green water problem and copper corrosion in water service by adding the optimal concentration of corrosion inhibitors based on regulation. Firstly, in the case of phosphate based corrosion inhibitors, as dosage of the corrosion inhibitor increases from 1 mg/L to 5 mg/L, the relative effect of corrosion inhibitor declines rapidly. Secondly, except for 1 mg/L dosage of silicate based inhibitor, relative effects of the inhibitor displays a positive number depending on inhibitor concentration. The most significant result is that the amount of copper release shows a downward trend, whereas the phosphate based inhibitor accelerates copper ion release as the inhibitor dosage increases. Thirdly, as the dosage of mixed inhibitors increases to 10 mg/L, the copper release change shows a similar trend of phosphate based inhibitor. Lastly, according to the Langelier saturation index (LI), silicate based inhibitors have the most non corrosive value. Larson ratio (LR) indicates that phosphate based inhibitors are the least corrosive. Korea water index (KWI) represents that silicate based inhibitors are most effective in controlling copper pipe corrosion.

Short-term acute toxicity of mercury, cadmium and copper to arkshell, Anadara broughtonii, and to oyster, Crassostrea gigas, was determinedby static bioassays from 20 May to 27 June in 1977. During the observations of the opening rate of the shell mercury was the most sensitive toxicant of the three toxic substances to the test animals and caused them to close their shellvalves together after being exposed to a mercury solution for an hour during the test. Opening rate to cadmium and copper increased gradually at the higher concentration. the 96hr-LC50 values for the test animals are 4.84mg/l for mercury and 1.86mg/l for cadmium, while the 72hr-LC50 value for copper is 0.31mg/l. the death rate of oysters for cadmium showed lower than that of the mercury and copper test solutions. The 96hr-LC50 values of mercury, copper and cadmium were 1.1mg/l, 2.54mg/l and 19.5mg/l, respectively. For oysters mercury was the most toxic substance, and cadmium was the least toxic one. the medium lethal time (LT 50) value decreased gradually at higher concentration of heavy metals. The LT 50 of 2mg/l was found within 96 hours ofr copper, 104 hours for mercury and 121 hours for cadmium. The lethal threshold concentrations for 7 days were found to be about 1mg/l for mercury and copper, and 2mg/l for cadmium.

전자기파는 주변 매질의 전기전도도와 유전율에 민감한 영향을 받기 때문에 지반의 특성을 평가하는데 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 염수환경에서도 다양한 농도의 중금속을 검측하기 위하여 시간영역반사법을 이용한 전자기파 측정 프로브를 제작하였다. 중금속으로는 구리를 사용하였으며, 실내 실험을 통해 구리 농도에 따라 적용 가능한 프로브를 선정하였다. 실내 실험에서는 염도 3%의 염수에 용해된 구리의 농도가 0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 그리고 10mg/L가 되도록 8단계로 용액을 조성하였다. 프로브는 염수에서도 전자기파를 측정할 수 있도록 5가지의 각기 다른 절연재로 코팅하여 비교하였다. 코팅재로는 에폭시, 탑코트, 바니쉬, 아크릴페인트, 히팅튜브를 사용하였으며 코팅재에 따른 전자기파의 신호 특성을 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 아크릴페인트와 히팅튜브로 코팅된 프로브는 구리 농도에 따른 신호 변화가 관측되지 않았으며, 에폭시, 탑코트, 바니쉬의 경우 구리 농도가 증가함에 따라 반사된 전자기파의 전압의 크기가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 에폭시로 1회 코팅한 프로브와 탑코트로 코팅한 프로브는 구리의 농도가 5mg/L 이하일 때 민감한 반응을 보였으나 에폭시로 2회 코팅한 경우, 구리의 농도가 5mg/L보다 클 때 더 민감하게 반응하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 절연재로 코팅된 시간영역반사법을 이용한 전자기파 측정 프로브가 염수에 녹아있는 중금속의 농도를 평가하는데 활용될 수 있음을 보여준다.

ACQ 목재 방부처리 현장에서 약액의 농도관리에 필요한 기초 자료를 얻기 위하여 ACQ 약액을 회수하여 재사용하는 과정에서 일어나는 약액의 농도 변화, 처리 목재의 약제 흡수량 그리고 Cu (CuO로써)와 DDAC의 유효성분 비율변화 등을 조사하였다. 목재 수종은 낙엽송, 미송, 라디에타소나무를 사용하여 조사하였다. ACQ 약액을 회수하여 재사용하는 과정에서 재사용 횟수가 증가함에 따라 약액의 농도는 감소하였으며, 농도 감소경향은 유효성분의 종류별로 다르게 나타나 Cu보다는 DDAC의 농도 감소가 크게 나타났다. Cu의 농도감소는 처리 수종에 크게 영향을 받지 않았으나, DDAC의 경우에는 약액 흡수가 많은 수종에서 농도 감소의 폭이 크게 나타났다. 약액의 재사용 횟수에 관계없이 Cu의 목재 흡수량은 일정한 수준을 유지하였으나 DDAC 흡수량은 재사용 횟수의 증가와 함께 지속적으로 감소하였다. 약액의 재사용 횟수의 증가로 DDAC 농도가 감소하면 Cu의 흡수량이 증가하였으며, 이것은 처리 목재 내 흡착반응 과정에서 경쟁 관계에 있는 DDAC의 양이 감소함에 따라 상대적으로 Cu의 흡착량이 많아지기 때문인 것으로 판단하였다.
