Remediation of groundwater using zero valent iron filings has received considerable attention in recent years. However, zero valent iron is gradually transformed to iron(III) oxides at permeable reactive barriers, so the reduction of iron(III) oxides can enhance the longevity of the reactive barriers. In this study, microbial reduction of Fe(III) was performed in anaerobic condition. A medium contained nutrients similar to soil solution. The medium was autoclaved and deoxygenated by purging with 99.99% $N_2$ and pH was buffered to 6, while the temperature was regulated as 2$0^{\circ}C$. Activity of iron reducing bacteria were not affected by chlorinated organics but affected by iron(III) oxide. Although perchloroethylene(PCE) was not degraded with only ferric oxide, PCE was reduced to around 50% with ferric oxide and microorganism. It shows that reduced iron can dechlorinate PCE.

Effect of tension coating on reducing iron losses of thin grain-oriented 3% Si-Fe steel sheets was investigated. Conventional grain-oriented electrical steel sheets have a forsterite coating layer and a tension coating layer in order to apply tensile stress to the rolling direction of the sheets. However the proposed coating method in this paper is to form only a tension coating layer on the both surfaces of the sheets. Iron losses with the tension coating were reduced by 8% under the condition of 1.7 T and 60 Hz. Consequently the proposed tension coating is applicable to $80{\mu}m$-thick 3% Si-Fe steel sheets.

토양 중에 존재하는 철환원능력을 갖춘 세균은 철제유물의 부식생성물을 에너지원으로 이용할 수 있다. 이러한 세균의 활동은 부식생성물의 변화를 초래하여 유물의 부식을 촉진시키는 부식생성물의 판단을 어렵게 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 철환원세균이 부식생성물에 일으키는 변화를 조사하여, 철제유물의 부식에 관한 이해를 높이고자 한다. 실험은 출토철제유물을 재현하기 위해서 부식촉진인자 중에서 가용성염류(염화물이온, 황산이온)를 이용하여 부식시킨 철편을 준비하였다. 이 부식철편을 세균이 존재하는 배지에서 42일간 배양하였다. 실험 후, 부식철편의 부식생성물은 SEM, EDS, XRD를 이용하여 관찰, 분석을 실시하였다. 관찰결과, 부식철편이 세균의 활동으로 인해 녹색으로 변화하였으며 부식철편에 판상 결정과 마름모꼴 결정이 새롭게 생성된 사실을 알게 되었다.

혼합균에서 분리 배양한 황환원균에 의해 발생되는 황화수소가 염소계유기오염물질인 트리클로로에틸렌의 환원에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지, 또한 염소계유기오염물질에 대한 환원력이 있다고 알려진 2가철은 황화수소가 존재할 경우 트리클로로에틸렌의 환원과 어떠한 관계에 있는지를 알아보기 위하여 본 실험을 수행하였다. 황환원균에 독성을 나타내지 않는 수준의 트리클로로에틸렌의 농도에서 황화수소 발생 및 트리클로로에틸렌의 분해 실험을 수행한 결과 황산염의 환원으로 발생한 황화수소의 농도는 4.38 mM, 트리클로로에틸렌의 농도는 큰 변화가 없는 것으로 관찰되었으며 이를 통하여 황환원균에 의해 발생되는 황화수소의 농도가 트리클로로에틸렌을 환원시키기에는 부족하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 황화수소의 농도가 위 실험에서 발생된 농도보다 100배 정도 높을 경우(438 mM)에는 트리클로로에틸렌에 대한 환원력이 있음을 확인하였다. 대표적인 산화철인 $Fe_2O_3$(3가철)를 첨가하였을 경우, 황환원균의 생장에 따라 황화수소, 2가철 및 트리클로로에틸렌의 농도변화를 관찰하였으며 이를 통하여 황환원균에 의해서 발생된 황화수소가 산화되면서 3가의 산화철을 2가철로 환원시키고 황화수소에 의하여 환원된 2가철이 트리클로로에틸렌을 분해하여 농도를 감소시키는 것을 확인하였다. 위의 실험결과를 바탕으로 낮은 농도의 황화수소는 트리클로로에틸렌의 환원에 영향을 미치지 못하며 다만, 황화수소에 의해 환원된 2가철이 트리클로로에틸렌을 분해시키는 주요한 요인임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 실제 해수중에서 황환원균과 $Fe_2O_3$가 공존할 경우의 트리클로로에틸렌의 제거 효과를 살펴보기 위한 실험을 한 결과 황환원균이 황화수소를 생성하여 트리클로로에틸렌의 제거에 영향을 줄 수 있는 반응들은 황환원균 생장에 필수적인 탄소원의 농도가 확보될 때 가능하다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performances of zero-valent iron (ZVI) combined SBR (Z-SBR) process in decolorization and organic removal of synthetic dye wastewater. The batch test for optimizing the operation parameters of ZVI column showed that the appropriate EBCT was around 11 min and the pH of the dye wastewater was below 7.0. During the step increase of influent color unit from 300 to 1,000cu, about 53 to 79% decolorization efficiency could be achieved in control SBR (C-SBR, without ZVI column), which resulted from destroying azo bond of synthetic dye in anaerobic condition. For the same influent color loading, Z-SBR showed always higher decolorization efficiency than C-SBR with an aid of ZVI reducing power. The TCOD concentration in Z-SBR effluent was 20-30mg/L lower than C-SBR effluent although the TCOD before and after ZVI column was nearly same. It means that breakdown of azo bond by ZVI reducing power could increase biodegradability of synthetic dye wastewater.

Zerovalent iron (ZVI) is one of the most commonly used metallic reducing agents for the treatment of toxic contaminants in wastewater. Traditional ZVIs are less effective than nanoscale ZVI (nZVI) due to prolonged reaction time. However, the reactivity can be significantly increased by reducing the size of ZVI particles to nanoscale. In this study, nZVI particles were synthesized under laboratory condition and their efficiency in removing hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) from aqueous solutions were compared with commercially available ZVI particles. The results showed that the synthesized nZVI particles (SnZVI) reduced >99% of Cr(VI) at the application rate of 0.2% (w/v), while commercial nZVI (CnZVI) particles resulted in 59.6% removal of Cr(VI) at the same application rate. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) and energy dispersive spectra (EDS) of the nZVI particles revealed the formation of Fe-Cr hydroxide complex after reaction. Overall, the SnZVI particles can be used in treating chromium contaminated wastewater.

Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is recognized to be carcinogenic and toxic and registered as a contaminant in many drinking water regulations. It occurs naturally and is also produced by industrial processes. The reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) has been a central topic for chromium remediation since Cr(III) is less toxic and less mobile. In this study, fermentative Fe(III)-reducing bacterial strains (Cellu-2a, Cellu-5a, and Cellu-5b) were isolated from a groundwater sample and were phylogenetically related to species of Cellulomonas by 16S rRNA gene analysis. One selected strain, Cellu-2a showed its capacity of reduction of both soluble iron (ferric citrate) and solid iron (hydrous ferric oxide, HFO), as well as aqueous Cr(VI). The strain Cellu-2a was able to reduce 15 μM Cr(VI) directly with glucose or sucrose as a sole carbon source under the anaerobic condition and indirectly with one of the substrates and HFO in the same incubations. The heterogeneous reduction of Cr(VI) by the surface-associated reduced iron from HFO by Cellu-2a likely assisted the Cr(VI) reduction. Fermentative features such as large-scale cell growth may impose advantages on the application of bacterial Cr(VI) reduction over anaerobic respiratory reduction.

방사성 폐기물을 지하에 장기 보관하는 금속 용기에 관한 생지화학적 부식 특성을 알아보기 위해 주철과 구리로 된 금속재료를 환원조건 하에서 디설프리칸스 황산염환원미생물과 3개월간 반응시켰다. 금속재료의 화학적/광물학적 변화를 알아보기 위해 주기적으로 용존 금속이온들의 농도를 측정하였으며, 실험이 종료된 이후 금속 시편 및 표면 이차생성물들을 전자현미경을 이용하여 분석하였다. 디설프리칸스가 없는 조건에서는 금속재료의 부식이 매우 미약하였으나, 미생물이 있는 경우에는 부식이 상대적으로 컸다. 관찰된 생지화학적 부식 산물은 주로 맥키나와이트와 황화구리 같은 검은색의 금속황화물이었으며, 표면에서 쉽게 분리되거나 콜로이드화되어 부유하였다. 특히, 구리 시편의 경우 용액 상에 용존 철이 존재할 때 세균에 의한 구리 부식의 가속화가 관찰되었는데, 이는 구리 표면에 다른 종의 황화철이 성장하면서 구리 간의 결속력을 약화시켰기 때문인 것으로 보인다.

A method for degradation of the perchlorate anion ($ClO{_4}^-$) has been studied using electrochemically generated zero-valent iron (ZVI) deposited on a porous carbon electrode. The first strategy of this study is to produce the ZVI via the electrochemical reduction of iron (II) on a porous carbon electrode coated with a conducting polymer, instead of employing expensive $NaBH_4$. The present method produced well distributed ZVI on conducting polymer (polypyrrole thin film) and increased surface area. ZVI surface can be regenerated easily for successive reduction. The second strategy is to apply a mild reducing condition (-0.3 V) to enhance the efficiency of the degradation of perchlorate with ZVI without the evolution of hydrogen. The electrochemically generated ZVI nanoparticles may offer an alternative means for the complete destruction perchlorate without evolution of hydrogen in water with high efficiency and at low cost.

Consortia demonstrated the high capacities of anaerobic degradation of various aromatic compounds, which were successfully enriched from gley paddy soils under different conditions. Phenol and cresol was decomposed anaerobically using nitrate, ferric oxide or sulfate as electron acceptors. Biphenyl was degraded to $CO_2$, especially without addition of external electron acceptor. Alkylphenols with middle length of alkyl chain, were co-metaboliocally degraded with the presence of hydroxylbenzoate as the co-substrate under nitrate reducing conditions. The microorganisms responsible for the anaerobic co-metabolism was Thauera sp. Reductive dechlorination activity was also observed for polychlorophenols, fthalide, polychlorinated biphenyls, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins with the presence of lactate, formate or $H_2$ as electron donor. The fthalide dechlorinator was classified as Dehalobacter sp. Coupling of two physiologically-distinct anaerobic consortia, aromatic ring degrader and reductive dechlorinator, resulted in the mineralization of pentachlorophenol under anaerobic conditions. These results suggested that gley paddy soils harbored anaerobic microbial community with versatile capacity degrading aromatic compounds under anaerobic conditions.
