미생물에 의한 6가이온 크롬의 3가이온으로의 환원은 세균에게 크롬내성을 제공할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 가설을 확인하기 위하여 크롬오염 토양과 오염되지 않은 토양으로부터 형태적으로 다른 20종의 세균을 순수분리하고 각각의 균주에서 크롬내성과 크롬환원능을 상호 비교하였다. 전자의 공여체로 glucose를 사용했을 때 세포현탁액에 의한 크롬의 환원은 시간당 0.014-0.305mM Cr(VI)의 범위로 관찰되었으며, 액체배지에서 2mM의 크롬에 대한 내성은 크롬을 첨가하지 않은 배지에서 배양한 경우와 혼탁도를 비교한 결과 전혀 저해를 받지 않는 경우부터 93.4%의 성장저해를 받는 경우까지 다양하게 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과로부터 상관관계를 분석한 결과 크롬내성과 크롬환원은 전혀 상관이 없는 것으로 계산되었다. 한편 군집수준에서의 크롬내성비교는 크롬오염 토양과 오염되지 않은 토양에서 각각 19.1%와 0.4%로 나타나 크롬의 존재는 내성균주의 선택적 성장을 유도하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그러나 이때 획득된 크롬에 대한 내성은 크롬의 환원에 의해서 제공되는 것이 아님을 상관관계 분석으로부터 알 수 있었다.

해양환경에 노출된 콘크리트는 육상에서 건설되는 콘크리트와 달리 해풍, 조력, 파도, 파랑 등에 의한 물리적 작용과 해수의 $SO_4{^{2-}}$, $Cl^-$ 및 $Mg^{2+}$ 이온 등에 의한 화학적 침식작용 및 동결융해 등 가혹한 환경에 노출되어 콘크리트의 내구성을 크게 저하시킨다. 해중 콘크리트의 대규모 시공은 콘크리트의 강도손실은 물론 알칼리(pH) 및 중금속 등 환경유해물질이 용출될 수 있어 이에 대한 충분한 검토와 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 전기로 환원슬래그로부터 CSA 자극제를 개발하고 전기로 산화슬래그를 콘크리트용 골재로 활용하여 인공리프용 친환경콘크리트를 개발하였다. 초기강도는 Normal concrete보다 낮게 나타나 친환경콘크리트의 초기강도 품질향상을 위한 추가적인 연구가 필요하였으며, 친환경콘크리트의 해수저항성은 양생일 1년 대비 평균 강도손실이 8~9% 발생하였다. 고함량 고로슬래그 미분말과 고비중 전기로 산화슬래그 골재를 사용한 친환경콘크리트를 동결융해저항성 재료로써 충분히 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다. 친환경콘크리트의 중금속 용출특성은 콘크리트의 수화반응을 통한 경화과정에서 중금속 성분은 화학적 결합을 통해 고정화되기 때문에 환경유해성 기준 이하이거나 검출되지 않아 유해물질 용출에 안전하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Separator of stack in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is high cost and heavy. If we make it low cost and lighter, it will have a great ripple. In this study, low carbon steel is used as base metal of separator because the cost of low carbon steel is very cheaper commercial metal material than stainless steels, which is widely used as separator. Low carbon steel has not a good corrosion resistance. In order to improve the corrosion resistance and electrolytic conductivity, low carbon steel needs to be surface treated. We made Chromium electroplated layer of $5{\mu}m$, $10{\mu}m$ thickness on the surface of low carbon steel and it was nitrided for 2 hours at $1000^{\circ}C$ in a furnace with 100 torr nitrogen gas pressure. Cross-sectional and surface microstructures of surface treated low carbon steel are investigated using SEM. And crystal structures are investigated by XRD. Interfacial contact resistance and corrosion tests were considered to simulate the internal operating conditions of PEMFC stack. The corrosion test was performed in 0.1 N $H_2SO_4$ + 2 ppm $F^-$ solution at $80^{\circ}C$. Throughout this research, we try to know that low carbon steel can be replaced stainless steel in separator of PEMFC.

습지의 갈대토양으로부터 중금속에 내성이 있는 세균이 분리되었다. 분리된 균주는 16S rDNA 염기서열분석에 의거하여 Alcaligenes sp.로 동정되었다. 납, 크롬, 카드뮴, 아연 및 구리와 같은 중금속을 배지에 첨가하였다. 분리균주 Alcaligenes sp. KC-1을 구리가 0 mM에서 20 mM의 농도로 첨가된 배지에서 배양하였을 때 균주의 생장에 미치는 독성을 알아보았다. 분리균주는 구리가 존재할 때 42시간 배양된 후 7.34 mM의 $EC_{50}$값과 $OD_{600\;nm}$에서 0.83의 흡광도 값을 보여주는 구리 내성균주였다.

Reed (Phragmites spp.) is a rhizomatous plant of the Poaceae family and is known as high tolerant plant to heavy metal contaminants. This plant is widely recognized as a Cd root-accumulator, but improved heavy metal tolerance and uptake capacity are still required for phytoremediation efficiency. To enhance capacity of hyperaccumulator plants, ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) as chemical mutagen has been introduced and applied to remediation approaches. This study aimed to select EMS-mutagenized reeds representing high Cd resistance and large biomass and to investigate their ability of Cd accumulation. After 6 months cultivation of M₂ mutant reeds under Cd stress conditions (up to 1,500 µM), we discovered seven mutant individuals that showed good performances like survivorship, vitality, and high accumulation of Cd, particularly in their roots. Compared to wild type (WT) reeds as control, on average, dry weight of mutant type (MT) reeds was larger by 2 and 1.5 times in roots and shoots, respectively. In addition, these mutant plants accumulated 6 times more Cd, mostly in the roots. In particular, MT8 reeds showed the greatest ability to accumulate Cd. These results suggest that EMS mutagenesis could generate hyperaccumulator plants with enhanced Cd tolerance and biomass, thereby contributing to improvement of phytoremediation efficiency in Cd-contaminated soil or wastewater. Further studies should focus on identifying Cd tolerance mechanisms of such EMS-mutagenized plants, developing techniques for its biomass production, and investigating the practical potential of the EMS mutants for phytoremediation.

Three horticultural herbaceous plants and a natural herbaceous plant were tested to determine the growth responses, biomass and uptake of cadmium(cd), lead(pb) by application of cd and pb soil treatment in pot culture. The ecological effects on the growth of the plants were investigated to determine the tolerance for the heavy metal pollutants cd and pb. the marginal concentrain of cd treatment on the growth of the each plant was below the 1, 000 ppm treatment of cd. The marginal concentration of pb treatment was below the 1, 000ppm treatment of pb in cultivation of salvia splendens ker., celosia cristata l. and below the 3, 000ppm treatment of pb in cultivation of portulaca grandiflora hook., sedum saramentosum bunge. the resistance for cd of sedum saramentosum bunge, celosia criastata l., portulaca grandiflora hook. and salvia splendens ker. was in the listed order. The resistence for pb was in order of sedum saramentosum bunge, portulaca grandiflora hook. Salvia splendens ker.and celosia criastata l.stems. The flowering of portulaca grandiflora hook. was sustained in the pb 1, 000ppm treated group only. The higher the concentration of pb in the soil cultivated the plants was, the less the content of leaf chlorophy11 in each plant was. The number of stomata per unit leaf area was the highest in salvia splendens ker. and in order of celosia l., sedum saramentosum bunge., portulaca grandiflora hook., the higher the cd and pb concentration of cd and pb treatment was, the more the concent of cd and pb in the part of each plant increased. the content of cd and pb in the stems of salvia spiendens ker. was the highest in the 1, 000ppm-treated ground and in order of the roots, the leaves and the flowers.

In this study, we prepared a sample of AISI 409L weld metals using automotive exhaust manifolds and evaluated their corrosion properties by conducting an anodic polarization test after 10 minute of heat treatment at $900^{\circ}C$. The specimens of AISI 409L transformed fully ferrite. Weld metal was refined more than base metal. Specimen of heat treatment at $900^{\circ}C$ and as weld specimen was formed precipitation. However heat treatment specimen was bulkly formed and coarser than the as weld specimen. The strength measured by 10 Hv highly at heat treatment specimens in comparison with as weld. The increase in strength is attributed to the precipitation of Ti. The result of heat treatment suggest that there was a decrease of current density and high corrosion potential. Following heat treatment process produced Ti precipitation and for this reason, it can restrain Cr-carbide so that steel will have more corrosion resistance.

Caballeronia sordidicola strain PAMC 26592 was isolated from Umbilicaria sp., a lichen material collected from Svalbard Archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. We report the draft genome sequence of the strain PAMC 26592, a metabolic generalist. As we have observed in previous genomic studies in the genus Caballeronia draft genomic sequences of PAMC 26592 had an assortment of genes of ecological importance and of bio-technical potentials, which include diverse metabolic genes for carbohydrates, aromatic compounds, amino acids, and vitamins, and genes for nitrogen / sulfur metabolisms, stress responses, membrane transporters, antibiotic resistance, and heavy metal resistance.

In this investigation, reservoir sediment and municipal sewage sludge were sintered to form the artificial lightweight aggregates. The sintered aggregates were compared with the commercialized lightweight aggregates to in terms of potential alkali-silica reactivity and chemical stability based on analyses of their physical and chemical properties, leaching of heavy metal, alkali-silica reactivity, crystal phase species and microstructure. Experimental results demonstrated that the degree of sintering of an aggregate affected the chemical resistance more strongly than did its chemical composition. According to ASTM C289-94, all potential alkali-silica reactivity of artificial lightweight aggregates were in the harmless zone, while the potential reactivity of artificial lightweight aggregates made from reservoir sediment and municipal sewage sludge were much lower than those of traditional lightweight aggregates.
