As the costs of carbon-footprinetd fuels grow continuously and simultaneously atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration increases, solar fuels are receiving growing attention as alternative clean energy carriers. These fuels include molecular hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide produced from water, and hydrocarbons converted from carbon dioxide. For high efficiency solar fuel production, not only light absorbers (oxide semiconductors, Si, inorganic complexes, etc) should absorb most sunlight, but also charge separation and interfacial charge transfers need to occur efficiently. With this in mind, this talk will introduce the fundamentals of solar fuel production and artificial photosynthesis, and then discuss in detail on photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting and CO2 conversion. This talk largely divides into two section: PEC water oxidation and PEC CO2 reduction. The former is very important for proton-coupled electron transfer to CO2. For this oxidation, a variety of oxide semiconductors have been tested including TiO2, ZnO, WO3, BiVO4, and Fe2O3. Although they are essentially capable of oxidizing water into molecular oxygen, the efficiency is very low primarily because of high overpotentials and slow kinetics. This challenge has been overcome by coupling with oxygen evolving catalysts (OECs) and/or doping donor elements. In the latter, surface-modified p-Si electrodes are fabricated to absorb visible light and catalyze the CO2 reduction. For modification, metal nanoparticles are electrodeposited on the p-Si and their PEC performance is compared.

Fast-paced industrial and agricultural development generates large quantities of hazardous heavy metals (HMs), which are extremely damaging to individuals and the environment. Research in both academia and industry has been spurred by the need for HMs to be removed from water bodies. Advanced materials are being developed to replace existing water purification technologies or to introduce cutting-edge solutions that solve challenges such as cost efficacy, easy production, diverse metal removal, and regenerability. Water treatment industries are increasingly interested in activated carbon because of its high adsorption capacity for HMs adsorption. Furthermore, because of its huge surface area, abundant functional groups on surface, and optimal pore diameter, the modified activated carbon has the potential to be used as an efficient adsorbent. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a novel organic-inorganic hybrid porous materials, sparked an interest in the elimination of HMs via adsorption. This is due to the their highly porous nature, large surface area, abundance of exposed adsorptive sites, and post-synthetic modification (PSM) ability. This review introduces PSM methods for MOFs, chemical modification of activated carbons (ACs), and current advancements in the elimination of Pb²⁺, Hg²⁺, and Cd²⁺ ions from water using modified MOFs and ACs via adsorption.

[ $PM_{10}$ ]measurements were made at two coastal sites, i.e., Taean and Gangneung, for summer to examine the characterization of water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) and inorganic ionic species, and to investigate their difference between the sites. The fractions of three major inorganic water-soluble components ($NO_3^-$, $SO_4^{2-}$, and $NH_4^+$) at Taean and Gangneung sites were 30.6% (16.2~62.0%) and 25.6% (13.0~52.5%) of the $PM_{10}$, respectively. $SO_4^{2-}$ is the most dominant species of water-soluble ions at both sites, accounting for up to 20.5% (9.1~44.9%) and 16.3% (5.5~34.2%) of their respective PM10 mass concentrations. Using the paired T-test, $PM_{10}$ (p<0.01), $NO_3^-$ (p<0.05), $SO_4^{2-}$ (p<0.01), $NH_4^+$ (p<0.001), and WSOC (p<0.05) concentrations exhibited strong fluctuations on a daily basis between Taean and Gangneung sites. Relationship between the concentrations of $SO_x$ ($SO_4^{2-}+SO_2$) and CO indicates that the slopes of $SO_x$ /CO were 0.007 and 0.019 in the Taean and Gangneung sites, respectively. The smaller $SO_x$/CO slope in the Taean site could be related to the aged air with wet scavenging of $SO_x$ during transport. The correlation between the concentrations of CO and WSOC suggests that WSOC observed in the Gangneung ($R^2$=0.82) be transported from combustion-related sources, while the WSOC at the Taean site could be formed through atmospheric processing of primary volatile organic species during transport.

The purpose of this study was to identify $PM_{2.5}$ sources and to estimate their contributions to the border of Yongin-Suwon area, based on the analysis of the $PM_{2.5}$ mass concentration and the associated inorganic elements, ions and carbon components. The contribution of $PM_{2.5}$ sources were estimated by using a positive matrix factorization (PMF) model to identify air emission sources. For this study, $PM_{2.5}$ samples were collected from May, 2007 to April, 2008. The inorganic elements were analyzed by an ICP-AES. The ionic components in $PM_{2.5}$ were analyzed by an Ie. The carbon components were also analyzed by DRI/OGC analyzer. After performing PMF modeling, a total of 12 sources were identified and their contributions were quantitatively estimated. The contributions from each emission source were as follows: 11.3% from oil combustion source, 3.4% from bus/highway source, 5.8% from diesel vehicle source, 4.7% from gasoline vehicle source, 8.8% from biomass burning source, 15.1 % from secondary sulfate, 5.2% from secondary nitrate source, 13.4% from industrial related source, 4.1% from Cl-rich source, 19.6% from soil related source, 1.0% from aged sea salt, and 7.4% from coal combustion source, respectively. This study provides basic information on the major sources affecting air quality, and then it will help to effectively control $PM_{2.5}$ in this study area.

Soil respiration has been recognized as a key factor of the change of organic matter and fertility due to the carbon and nitrogen mineralization. In this study, we evaluated the effect of soil respiration on the light fraction-C and inorganic N content depending on temperature in soil applied with organic matter. Soil respiration was calculated by using total $CO_2$ flux released from soil applied with $2Mg\;ha^{-1}$ of rice straw compost and rye for 8 weeks incubation at 15, 25, $35^{\circ}C$ under incubation test. After incubation test, light fraction and inorganic N content were investigated. Rye application dramatically increased soil respiration with increasing temperature. $Q_{10}$ value of rye application was 1.69, which was higher 27% than that of rice straw compost application. Light-C and $NO_3-N$ contents were negatively correlated to soil respiration. Light-C in rye application more decreased than that in rice straw compost with temperature levels. These results indicate that temperature sensitivity of soil respiration could affect soil organic mater content and N availability in soil due to carbon availability. Also, light fraction would be useful indicator to evaluate decomposition rate of organic matter in soil under a short-term test.

Chelating agents have been proposed to improve the efficiency of phytoextraction of heavy metal hyperaccumulator. However, little studies to elucidate mechanism of chelating agents to increase cadmium (Cd) extractability have been conducted. The objectives of this study were to evaluate effect of different chelating agents on Cd extractability and to determine mechanism of Cd mobilization affected by these agents. An arable soil was spiked with inorganic Cd ($CdCl_2$) to give a total Cd concentration of $20mgCdkg^{-1}$. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and citric acid (CA) were selected and mixed with the arable soil at the rates of 0 and $5mmolkg^{-1}$. The mixture soils were incubated at $25^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks in dark condition. Concentration of F1 Cd fractions (water soluble) significantly increased with addition of EDTA but did not changed with addition of CA. Especially; concentration of F5 Cd fractions (residual) significantly increased with addition of CA. Increase in water soluble with EDTA might be attributed to complexation of Cd and EDTA. Dissolved organic carbon concentration significantly increased with EDTA addition, but did not with CA implying that considerable amount of CA was decomposed to inorganic carbon by microorganism. Log activity of carbonate ($CO_3{^{2-}}$) which might be generated from CA increased with addition of CA. Increase in residual Cd fraction might be due to precipitation of Cd as $CdCO_3$. As a result, EDTA was effective in increasing Cd extractability, by contrast CA had significant effect in reducing Cd extractability.

최근 기후변화의 가속화로 바다에 의한 탄소의 흡수 작용을 칭하는 '블루 카본(blue carbon)'에 대한 관심이 많아지고 있지만, 탄소 순환의 핵심이 되는 해양 생태계에 대한 우리의 이해는 아직 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 탄소 순환을 고려한 글로벌 해양 생태 권역(marine eco-province)을 k-means clustering 기법을 활용하여 분류·분석하였다. 지난 20년 간(2001-2020) 위성을 활용하여 생산된 Carbon-based Productivity Model (CbPM) 순 일차 생산량(Net primary production, NPP), particulate inorganic and organic carbon (PIC and POC), 위성 관측과 재분석모델을 결합하여 생산한 해수면 염분(sea surface salinity, SSS) 및 온도(sea surface temperature, SST) 총 다섯가지 자료를 활용하였다. 최적화 과정을 거쳐 총 9개의 생태권역을 도출하였으며, 각 권역의 공간분포와 특성을 분석하였다. 이 중 5개의 권역은 주로 대양의 특성을 반영하고, 4개의 권역은 연안 및 고위도 해역의 특성을 반영하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 기존에 알려진 해양 생태 권역과의 정성적 비교를 통하여 탄소순환을 고려한 해양 생태권역의 특징을 상세히 분석하였다. 마지막으로 과거 5년 단위(2001-2005, 2006-2010, 2011-2015, 2016-2020)로 생태 권역의 변화를 분석하였으며, 연안생태계의 빠른 변화와 특히 담수유입으로 인해 생산량이 높고 생태적으로 중요한 권역의 감소를 확인하였다. 이러한 연구 결과는 탄소 순환 및 기후변화를 고려한 해양 생태 권역 분류 및 연안 관리에 대한 중요한 참고자료로 활용 될 수 있으며, 기후 변화에 취약한 지역에 대한 체계적인 관리 지침 개발에 활용될 수 있다.

유기물과 무기물이 함께 오염되어 있는 합성 폐수처리에 대한 망간첨착활성탄(Mn-AC)의 적용성을 연구하였다. 유기물과 무기물의 대표물질로 페놀과 3가 비소를 각각 선정하였다. 산성조건에서 Mn-AC의 안정성을 평가하기 위해, 용액의 pH를 2, 3 및 4로 달리하여 시간경과에 따른 용존망간의 용출능을 평가하였을 때, pH 3보다 낮은 조건에서는 Mn-AC의 안정성이 떨어졌지만, pH 4에서는 반응시간동안 용출되는 망간의 농도는 무시할 수 있는 정도였다. 이러한 안정성 실험결과 Mn-AC는 pH 4 이상의 일반폐수 처리에 사용할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. AC와 비교하였을 때, 망간첨착에 의한 비표면적 감소로 인해 망간첨착활성탄의 페놀제거속도 및 페놀 흡착능은 일부 감소하였다. 페놀 농도 변화에 따른 등온흡착결과 Mn-AC의 최대흡착량은 AC의 75%에 해당하였다. 산성영역의 pH에서는 Mn-AC에 의한 3가 비소 산화효율이 AC보다 높았지만 pH 7 이상에서는 반대 경향을 나타내었다. 본 연구를 통하여 Mn-AC를 페놀과 3가 비소의 동시처리에 적용할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

결정성 aluminosilicate 광물의 일종인 천연 zeolite는 광물학적 특성과 화학적 표면활성으로 인하여 다방면의 공업화학적 이용가치가 매우 높고 광물중 특히 가장 높은 양이온교환능을 가지고 있어 기체분자에 대한 선택적 흡착력이 큰 molecular sieve로써 흡착분리제로는 물론, 건조제, 흡습제, 이온교환체, 촉매, 증량제 그리고 폐수처리제, 경수의 연화제등으로 이용도가 날로 증가하고 있다. 국내산 천연 zeolite를 IN HCL용액과 NaCl용액으로 화학처리하여 다공성을 증가시켜 column충전제로 사용한 결과, 혼합기체 Ar, $N_2$ CO및 $CH_4$의 분리특성에 관해서 HCL용액으로 처리한 mordenite 시료는 활성화온도가 $300^{\circ}C$일 경우, CO와 $CH_4$의 분리는 곤란하나 $350^{\circ}C$에서는 분리가 용이하였고 NaCl용액으로 처리한 시료는 미처리한 것과 거의 유사하였다. Ar과 $N_2$와의 분리에는 산 또는 알칼리로 화학처리한 시료에도 별로 효과가 없었으나 HCL용액과 NaCl용액을 연속적으로 처리한 천연 zeolite는 합성 zeolite의 특성에 견줄만한 정도로 기체분리효과와 HETP값을 보여주었다. 한편 시료의 화학처리에 의한 Ar과 CO의 흡착열의 변화는 극성기체인 CO의 경우, 별로 변화가 없지만 무극성기체인 Ar은 영향을 받기가 용이하였다. 또한 carrier gas He의 유속이 대략 20~30ml min범위일때 최소의 HETP값을 가지며 column의 효능이 좋았다.
