The epilithic algal communities on the artificial substrata (unglazed ceramic tiles) were investigated from 5th July to 24th July 1999 with two or three days intervals for elucidating the effects of the experimental acidification. They were harvested inside the mesocosm with and without the acid treatment on Togyo reservoir within the Civilian Passage Restriction Line near Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in Korea. After the colonization of epilithic algal community, their standing crops revealed different patterns outside and inside the mesocosm. However the time lapse of 5 days was observed on the inside with acid treatment. The dominant species were different: Achnanthes minutissima was outside but Coenochloris polycocca was inside and inside with acid treatment. The differences in floral composition were also found. Achnanthes minutissima which has been the most important species in the colonization by the epilithic algal community of the mesocosm was less important at the lower pH. Coenochloris polycocca is a species well adapted to low pH.

토양의 산중화 반응 결과로 나타나는 염기성 양이온의 유실과 Al의 가동성 증가는 산림 쇠퇴징후가 나타난 대기오염 지역의 공통된 특징이다. 따라서 산림토양의 산성화 민감도를 결정짓는 산중화 반응을 보다 용이하게 평가하기 위하여 토양산성도 인자를 이용한 산중화 반응 예측모형을 개발하였다. 조사대상지인 남산, 강화, 울산, 홍천의 토양산성도는 동일 지역순으로 높았으며(P<0.05), 이는 토양칼럼 실험에서 추가 산유입($16.7mmol_c/kg$)에 대한 지역별 총 산중화능($ANC_H$)과 상반된 결과였다. 모든 지역에서 염기치환과 Al 용해가 주된 산중화 기작이었으며, 총 산중화능이 낮은 지역일수록 염기치환 산중화능은 낮은 반면 Al 용해 산중화능이 높게 발휘되었다. 황산이온 흡착에 의한 산중화능은 대조지역인 홍천에서 가장 높았으나 산중화율은 6.4%로 매우 낮은 수준이었다. 토양산성도 인자를 이용하여 토양산중화 반응을 예측하기 위한 단순회귀모형과 다중회귀모형의 수정결정계수는 각각 0.52(P<0.04)와 0.89(P<0.01) 이상으로 이들 회귀모형이 토양산성화 민감도와 관련된 산중화 반응을 예측하는데 보다 용이하게 활용될 것으로 판단되었다.

The treatment characteristics of leachate produced from pretreatment facilities like composting and feeding were investigated in a mesophilic anaerobic treatment. Experiments were performed in two phase which were acidification and methane fermentation. The acidification step was optimized for OLR from 1 to $4.5kg\;COD/kg\;VS{\cdot}day$ without adding NaOH. As experiment dates became longer, the solubilization ratio of particles increased up to 30% over 70 days. TVA was generated up to maximum 9,970mg HAc/L at OLR of $2kg\;COD/kg\;VS{\cdot}day$. But TVA was generated to minimum 6,519mg HAc/L at OLR of $4.5kg\;COD/kg\;VS{\cdot}day$. The acidification ratio was analyzed from 10.9% to 3.8% at OLR of $2kg\;COD/kg\;VS{\cdot}day$ and $4.5kg\;COD/kg\;VS{\cdot}day$ respectively. After 55 days, salt contents in the acid fermenter were accumulated and stabilized at the concentration of 3,150mg/L. Sodium ion($Na^+$) concentration was stabilized at 1,300mg/L. At methane fermentation step, biogas was generated up to 750ml and 937.5ml at the feeding volume of 20ml and 25ml respectively for acid fermented liquid during 25 days. About 80% of total biogas was generated during early 15 days and 95% were generated during 18 days respectively. After 25 days of the BMP test, acetic acid was removed approximately 97% and 98%, in case of those two experimental conditions.

This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of slurry acidification in reducing ammonia emission from manure storage and application. The non-fermented cattle manure (NFC) and swine slurry (SS) were acidified by sulfuric acid and stored in an acryl chamber for 168 and 96 hours, respectively. Ammonia emitted from the chamber was collected using an acid trap system. The amount of ammonia emission was significantly reduced when the livestock manures were treated with sulfuric acid. The absolute amount of ammonia in NFC increased rapidly starting from 48 h and 72 h in the control (pH 8.6) and acidified NFC (pH 6.5), respectively. The absolute amount of ammonia was the highest at 96 h ($3.65g\;kg^{-1}h^{-1}$) in the control and at 144 h ($2.34g\;kg^{-1}h^{-1}$) in pH 6.5 NFC. The cumulative ammonia content in the control continuously increased until 96 h and was maintained until 168 h, whereas the increase rate of emission gas accumulation in acidified NFC was much less throughout the experimental period. Acidification of SS mitigated ammonia emission as proven in NFC. The cumulative amount of ammonia emission was decreased by 49.4% and 92.3% in the acidified SS at pH 6.5 and pH 5.5, respectively, compared to the control at 96 h after treatment. These results indicate that ammonia emission can be significantly reduced by sulfuric acid treatment of livestock manure during processing and the subsequent land application.

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is widely used to disinfect seawater in power plant cooling systems in order to reduce biofouling, and in ballast water treatment systems to prevent transport of exotic marine species. While the toxicity of NaOCl is expected to increase by ongoing ocean acidification, and many experimental studies have shown how algal calcification, photosynthesis and growth respond to ocean acidification, no studies have investigated the relationship between NaOCl toxicity and increased $CO_2$. Therefore, we investigated whether the impacts of NaOCl on survival, chlorophyll a (Chl-a), and effective quantum yield in three marine phytoplankton belonging to different taxonomic classes are increased under high $CO_2$ levels. Our results show that all biological parameters of the three species decreased under increasing NaOCl concentration, but increasing $CO_2$ concentration alone (from 450 to 715 ${\mu}atm$) had no effect on any of these parameters in the organisms. However, due to the synergistic effects between NaOCl and $CO_2$, the survival and Chl-a content in two of the species, Thalassiosira eccentrica and Heterosigma akashiwo, were significantly reduced under high $CO_2$ when NaOCl was also elevated. The results show that combined exposure to high $CO_2$ and NaOCl results in increasing toxicity of NaOCl in some marine phytoplankton. Consequently, greater caution with use of NaOCl will be required, as its use is widespread in coastal waters.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the biodegradability and performance of organic removal and methane production rate when treating piggery wastewater using a granule of two-phase anaerobic process applied UASB. BMP test was conducted as simple means to monitor relative biodegradability of substrate and to determine methane production of an organic material. The two-phase anaerobic process is consisted of a continuous flow stirred-tank reactor (CFSTR) for the acidification phase and an Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket reactor (UASB) for the methanogenesis. The acidogenic reactor played key roles in reducing the periodically applied shock-loading and in the acidification of the influent organics. A stable maximum biogas production rate was 400mL. The methane contents ranged from 73 to 80% during the experimental period. It is known that most of the removed organic matter was converted to methane gas, and the produced biogas might be high quality for its subsequent use.

산퇴적물에 대한 산림토양의 산성화 민감도를 평가하기 위하여 4개 지역 소나무림을 대상으로 토양내 추출성 황산이온 함량과 황산이온 흡착능을 정량하였다. 유기물층의 수용성 황산이온 함량은 강화와 홍천에 비해 울산과 남산에서 현저히 높아 황산화물의 지역적 유입특성을 반영하였다. 그러나 광물질 토양내 추출성 황산이온 함량은 황산화물의 유입량과 토양 흡착능의 상호작용으로 울산, 강화, 남산 및 홍천 순으로 높게 나타났다. 대기오염 우려지역인 남산, 강화 및 울산의 황산이온 특정흡착률(총 추출성에 때한 불용성의 비율)은 각각 16.6%, 56.8% 및 37.4%로써 산퇴적물에 대한 토양산성화의 상대적 민감도는 남산에서 가장 높았다. 황산이온 흡착등온식($RE=mX_i-b$)의 추가유입량($X_i$)과 흡착량(RE)간의 정의 상관성은 광물질 토양에서만 유의적으로(p<0.05) 나타났다. 흡착등온식의 회귀계수(m)로 나타낸 토심 30cm까지의 황산이온 흡착능은 남산, 강화, 울산 및 홍천에서 각각 0.16, 0.24, 0.25 및 $0.32mmol_c\;kg^{-1}$으로 이에 근거한 지역별 토양산성화 민감도는 남산에서 가장 높았다. 황산이온 영점흡착량(null-point adsorption)은 남산, 강화, 울산 및 홍천에서 각각 3.81, 2.17, 4.96 및 $0.65mmol_c\;kg^{-1}$으로 홍천을 제외한 나머지 지역은 현실적인 황산이온 퇴적량을 훨씬 초과하는 추정치이었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the biodegradability and performance of organic removal and methane production rate when treating piggery wastewater using a pilot scale two-phase anaerobic system operated up to a volumetric rate of $10m^3/day$. The pilot scale two-phase anaerobic process is consisted of a continuous-flow stirred-tank reactor (CFSTR) for the acidification phase and an Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket reactor (UASB) for the methanogenesis. The acidogenic reactor played key roles in reducing the periodically applied shock-loading and in the acidification of the influent organics. The acidogenic CFSTR was operated at organic loading rates (OLR) between 1.8 and $14.4kgCOD/m^3{\cdot}day$, and the UASB reactor was operated between 0.5 and $5.6kgCOD/m^3{\cdot}day$. A stable maximum biogas production rate was $81m^3/day$ and the methane conversion rate of the organic matter varied from 0.30 to $0.42L\;CH_4/g\;COD_{removed}$(0.40) at hydraulic retention time (HRT) above 3.5days. The methane contents ranged from 73 to 82% during the experimental period. It is known that most of the removed organic matter was converted to methane gas, and the produced biogas might be high quality for its subsequent use.

Objective: Our recent findings confirmed the effectiveness of sodium metabisulfite (SMB) in controlling the growth of undesirable microorganisms in fruit and vegetable discards (FVD); however, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are susceptible to its antibacterial effects. Two series of experiments were conducted to enable the survivability of LAB during silage fermentation of a total mixed ration (TMR) containing SMB-treated FVD. Methods: In Exp. 1, the objective was to isolate a strain of LAB tolerable to the toxic effect of SMB. In Exp. 2, the SMB load was minimized through its partial replacement with a chemical mixture (CM) based on sodium benzoate (57%), potassium sorbate (29%), and sodium nitrite (14%). FVD was treated with SMB + CM (2 g each/kg biomass) and added to the TMR at varying levels (0%, 10%, or 20%), with or without KU18 inoculation. Results: The KU18 was screened as a presumptive LAB strain showing superior tolerance to SMB in broth medium, and was identified at the molecular level using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis as Lactobacillus plantarum. Inoculation of KU18 in TMR containing SMB was not successful for the LAB development, biomass acidification, and organoleptic properties of the resultant silage. In Exp. 2, based on the effectiveness and economic considerations, an equal proportion of SMB and CM (2 g each/kg FVD) was selected as the optimal loads for the subsequent silage fermentation experiment. Slight differences were determined in LAB development, biomass acidification, and sensorial characteristics among the experimental silages, suggesting the low toxicity of the preservatives on LAB growth. Conclusion: Although KU18 strain was not able to efficiently develop in silage mass containing SMB-treated FVD, the partial substitution of SMB load with the CM effectively alleviated the toxic effect of SMB and allowed LAB development during the fermentation of SMB + CM-treated FVD in TMR.

해양에서 이산화탄소 증가에 따른 해양산성화가 넙치치어의 성장에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 현장 메조코즘 실험을 실시하였다. 동해 남부에 위치한 기장군 장안읍의 사질저질에서 실험군(이산화탄소 주입)과 대조군의 실험장비를 설치하여 43일 동안 총 447개체 (실험군 223개체, 대조군 224개체)를 대상으로 실시하였다. 실험군의 pH는 평균 $7.63{\pm}0.13$, 이산화탄소 ($fCO_2$)농도는 평균 $1660{\pm}540$ ${\mu}atm$로 2100년도에 예상되는 수준으로(IPCC 2007) 유지하였으며, 대조구는 현재 기장군 장안읍 해역의 해양환경으로 유지하였다. 실험기간동안 사망률은 실험군과 대조군 사이에서 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았고 시간이 지남에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 넙치치어의 체장과 체중은 대조군에서 더 큰 증가양상을 나타내어, 그 결과 대조군에서 더 큰 성장률(specific growth rate)을 보였다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 해양에서 이산화탄소 농도의 증가는 넙치 치어의 초기 성장에 영향을 줄 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.
