Montmorillonite is one of representative inorganic clay particles. As the characteristics of clay particulate matter in aqueous environment determine the efficiencies of wastewater treatment and some industrial operations, it is essential to understand its aquatic behavior in relation with turbidity. The change of electrokinetic potential of montmorillonite suspension shows that it tends to negatively increase as the pH of suspension increases. In addition, it is observed that its potential is around 0mV when the solution pH is ca. 5. The turbidity of suspension is shown to be very low when pH is lower than its isoelectric point. However, the turbidity gradually enhances according to beyond isoelectric point. These results reveal that the correlation between electrokinetic potential and turbidity for clay mineral suspension is peculiar which should be fundamentally considered for systematic treatment of wastewater.

Organic matters that comprise a tiny part of seawater generally occur over 50% of membrane fouling in Reverse Osmosis Process. This study evaluates Foundation efficiency of reverse osmosis membranes under brackish and seawater conditions and resistance of organic fouling. Moreover, analyzing the membrane surface through roughness, contact angle and zeta potential results in roughness and contact angle are proportional to flux decline rate (FDR), yet FDR has high value when zeta potential is low level. Furthermore, with various membrane fouling of different raw water conditions, the flux tends to improve when pH value is high and raw water which is complex with organic and cation pollutes membrane faster than organic separated raw water condition.

횡단 전위 배열(cross potential array)과 동일열 전위배열(direct potential array) 자료를 뒷받침하여 다양한 수변 구조물의 누수 경로 예측을 가능하게 하는 배열을 제시하고 이를 D-Lux array 라고 명명하였다. 또한 D-Lux array 자료를 색으로 가시화한 하나의 행렬로 정리하여 D-Lux view라고 제시하고 D-Lux view에서 관찰되는 저 전위차 이상대의 위치로 누수 구역의 위치를 해석하였다. D-Lux view의 보다 직관적인 해석을 위해서 D-Lux array 자료와 동일열 전위 배열 자료를 함께 사용하여 각 지점들 사이의 전위차 자료를 각 지점의 전위값으로 역산하고 이를 이용하여 등전위 분포도를 작성하였다. 등전위 분포도는 그래프나 D-Lux view에서 알 수 없었던 누수의 유입구, 유출구 뿐만 아니라 경로까지 예측 가능하게 하였다. 수조 실험과 수치 해석으로 예비 탐사를 실시한 후 현장 탐사로 콘크리트 보와 필 댐에 대한 적용이 이루어졌다. 그 결과, 콘크리트 보와 필 댐에 대해 누수 경로 탐지가 가능함을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate characteristics of total phosphorus (TP) and phosphate phosphorous ($PO_4$-P) concentrations in ponded water and redox potential (Eh) in paddy soil during the growing season. The TP and $PO_4$-P concentrations showed twice peak values after basal dressing and tillering fertilization. The ratio of $PO_4$-P to TP showed low values (0.07~0.18), indicating that most of phosphorus is particlulate. The $PO_4$-P concentrations significantly decreased with dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations. The Eh showed high values (179~636 mV) under non-ponded aerobic condition, but low values (74~112 mV) under ponded anaerobic condition The TP and $PO_4$-P concentrations in ponded water increased shortly after tillering fertilization even if phosphorus was not applied. This may be due to the release of dissolved phosphorus from the bottom sediment and its associated algal and water flea blooms under anaerobic condition. Therefore, proper water management should be needed shortly after tillering fertilization.

As impermeable layer continues to increase with the urbanization process, direct input of nonpoint source pollutants into water bodies via stormwater has caused serious effects on the aquatic ecosystem. Potential applications of rain gardens are increasing not only as best management practices (BMP) for reducing the level of nonpoint source pollutants but also as an ecological engineering alternative for low impact development (LID). In this study, remediation performance of various planting types, such as a mixed planting system with shrubs and herbaceous plants, was assessed quantitatively to effectively manage stormwater and increase landscape applicability. The mixed planting system with Rhododendron lateritium and Zoysia japonica showed the highest removal performance of $76.9{\pm}7.6%$ and $58.4{\pm}5.0%$ for total nitrogen and $89.9{\pm}7.9%$ and $82.4{\pm}5.2%$ for total phosphorus at rainfall intensities of 2.5 mm/h and 5.0 mm/h, respectively. The mixed planting system also showed the highest removal performance for heavy metals. The results suggest that a rain garden with the mixed planting system has high potential applicability as a natural reduction system for nonpoint source pollutants in order to manage stormwater with low concentrations of pollutants and will increase water recycling in urban areas.

The soil water characteristics curve (SWCC) represents the relation between soil water potential and soil water content. The shape and range of SWCC according to the relation could vary depending on soil characteristics. The objective of the study was to estimate SWCC depending on soil types and layers and to analyze the trend among them. To accomplish this goal, the unsaturated three soils were considered: silty clay loam, loam, and sandy loam soils. Weighable lysimeters were used for exactly measuring soil water content and soil water potential. Two fitting models, van Genuchten and Campbell, were applied. Two models entirely fitted well the measured SWCC, indicating low RMSE and high $R^2$ values. However, the large difference between the measured and the estimated was found at the 30 cm layer of the silty clay loam soil, and the gap was wider as soil water potential increased. In addition, the non-linear decrease of soil water content according to the increase of soil water potential tended to be more distinct in the sandy loam soil and at the 10 cm layer than in the silty clay loam soil and at the lower layers. These might be seen due to the various factors such as not only pore size distribution, but also cracks by high clay content and plow pan layers by compaction. This study clearly showed difficulty in the estimation of SWCC by such kind of factors.

참다래 과실의 생장은 2중 S자 곡선적으로 생장을 하지만, 그 곡선은 해에 불확실할 때가 있다. 이러한 원인을 과실조직의 수분상태에 의한 것으로 생각되어, 1995년과 1996년에 참다래 과실의 생장기간 중에 psychrometer를 사용하여 일중 과실조직의 수분상태 변화를 조사했다. 과실조직의 수분 포텐셀의 변화는 1996년의 과실생자의 제3기를 제외하고는 크지 않앗다. 1995년과 1995년 모두 과실의 수확기에 가까울수록 수분 포텐셜이 점진적으로 떨어졌다. 한편, 과실조직의 삼투 포텐셜은 수분 포텐셜과 비슷하게 변화를 했지만, 1995년 10월 14일의 동이 트기 전에 -1.5MPa로 급격히 떨어진 후, 3시간이 경과한 후 -1MPa로 회복되었고, 과실수확 적기에는 -1.7MPa까지 떨어졌다. 1996년의 과실은 1995년 과실보다 낮은 삼투 포텐셜을 나타냈다. 도관의 수분상태에 관계되는 잎의 수분 포텐셜은 1996년의 경우, 과실생장 제2깅 동이 트기 전에 불구하고 -1MPa 이하로 떨어졌다. 1995년은 과실수확 적기에만 1996년과 같이 -1MPa 이하로 떨어졌다. 1996년 과실은 과실생각 제2기에 과실의 삼투 포텐셜과 팽압의 상승이 1995년 과실보다 높았다. 이러한 요인들이 1996년 과실의 당 농도를 높게 하였다. 이들 parameter의 변화는 1996년 과실이 과실생장의 제3기에 수체가 수분 스트레스를 받았다는 사실을 암시하는 것이다. 따라서, 1995년 과실과 1996년 과실의 생장 차이는 기상변화에 따른 과실 조직의 수분상태에 의한 것으로 판단된다.

Flow accelerated corrosion(FAC) of the carbon steel piping in pressurized water reactors(PWRs) has been major issue in nuclear industry. Severe accident at Surry Unit 2 in 1986 initiated the worldwide interest in this area. Major parameters influencing FAC are material composition, microstructure, water chemistry, and hydrodynamics. Qualitative behaviors of FAC have been well understood but quantitative data about FAC have not been published for proprietary reason. In order to minimize the FAC in PWRs, the optimal method is to control water chemistry factors. Chemistry factors influencing FAC such as pH, corrosion potential, and hydrazine contents were reviewed in this paper. FAC rate decreased with pH up to 10 because magnetite solubility decreased with pH. Corrosion potential is generally controlled dissolved oxygen (DO) and hydrazine in secondary water. DO increased corrosion potential. FAC rate decreased with DO by stabilizing magnetite at low DO concentration or by formation of hematite at high DO concentration. Even though hydrazine is generally used to remove DO, hydrazine itself thermally decomposed to ammonia, nitrogen, and hydrogen raising pH. Hydrazine could react with iron and increased FAC rate. Effect of hydrazine on FAC is rather complex and should be careful in FAC analysis. FAC could be managed by adequate combination of pH, corrosion potential, and hydrazine.

Gas hydrate (GH)-based desalination process have a potential as a novel unit desalination process. GHs are nonstoichiometric crystalline inclusion compounds formed at low temperature and a high pressure condition by water and a number of guest gas molecules. After formation, pure GHs are separated from the remaining concentrated seawater and they are dissociated into guest gas and pure water in a low temperature and a high pressure condition. The condition of GH formation is different depending on the type of guest gas. This is the reason why the guest gas is a key to success of GH desalination process. The salt rejection of GH based desalination process appeared 60.5-93%, post treatment process is needed to finally meet the product water quality. This study adopted reverse osmosis (RO) as a post treatment. However, the test about gas rejection by RO process have to be performed because the guest gas will be dissolved in a GH product (RO feed). In this research, removal potential of dissolved gas by RO process is performed using lab-scale RO system and GC/MS analysis. The relation between RO membrane characteristics and gas removal rate were analyzed based on the GC/MS measurement.
