Visible-light-driven wide bandgap semiconductor photocatalysts were commonly developed via doping or coupling with another narrow bandgap metal oxide. However, these approaches required extra processing. The aim of study was to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of narrow bandgap $WO_x$ nanoparticles. A mixture of $WO_2$ and $WO_3$ nanoparticles were synthesized using solution precipitation technique. The photodegradation of RhB by these nanoparticles more effective in UV light than in visible light. In antibacterial susceptibility assay, $WO_x$ nanoparticles demonstrated good antibacterial against Gram-positive bacteria. The cell wall of bacterial was the main determinant in antibacterial effect other than $W^{4+}/W^{6+}$ ions and ROS.

This paper presents a breakdown voltage and a process of breakdown progress in mineral oil under an quasi-uniform field with decomposition products which occur after the oil discharge. The breakdown voltage in the oil revealed the characteristics of dispersion regardless of an electrode gap. The cumulative probability distribution was used to analyze the dispersion of the breakdown voltage. In addition, the process of breakdown progress in the oil can be reasonably described by the electron breakdown theory based on both electrons emitted from the cathode and ions by field-aided dissociation of the oil. The proposed breakdown process will be used for the basic data to explain the behavior pattern of the decomposition product to cause the dispersion of the breakdown voltage.

In this paper, the increase in chloride resistance of footing concrete at coastal area was evaluated by replacement of Mineral Admixture. In KBC 2009, the footing concrete's minimum specific concrete strength at coastal area is determined to 35MPa. However, this is criteria only based on the strength aspect. Thus, it is not considered to increase the chloride resistance by replacement of Mineral Admixture. According to the test results of chloride ions penetration resistance, 35MPa class concrete with OPC 100% shown inaccessible state. Low-strength (24~30MPa class) concretes with Mineral Admixture, however, presented better performances. In addition, chloride diffusion coefficient tests showed identical appearance. Therefore, the current KBC's chloride resistance criteria based on only concrete strength has to review for the reason it can cause many problems (ex. cost increases by growing concrete strength and the environmental issues by a lot of cement use).

The present study was undertaken to investigate the crystal growth onto enamel mineral and synthetic hydroxyapatite seeds in media resembling the enamel fluid composition. Effects of fluoride at low concentrations on the precipitation were also examined in a benchtop crystal growth model adopting a miniaturized reaction column. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), as well as chemical analyses, were employed for characterization of both seed materials before and after experimentation. Remarkable findings were that (1) both biological and synthetic seeds at the same total surface areas yielded rather similar precipitation rates at all levels of fluoride concentration in solution and (2) the precipitation rate was accelerated in a manner depending on fluoride concentrations in media. FTIR differential analysis disclosed that the precipitating phase was characterized as poorly crystallized apatite, which incorporated subtle carbonate. Most of the fluoride ions in soution were readily incorporated into crystals. The overall results support the view that the seeded crystal growth model is of value to gain insight into the mechanism of enamel crystal growth under fluoride regimens.

The present study is focused on the mechanical and durability properties of ternary blended cement concrete mix of different grades 30 MPa, 50 MPa and 70 MPa. Three mineral admixtures (fly ash, silica fume and lime sludge) were used as a partial replacement of cement in the preparation of blended concrete mix. The durability of ternary blended cement concrete mix was studied by exposing it to acids HCl and $H_2SO_4$ at 5% concentration. Acid mass loss factors (AMLF), acid strength loss factor (ASLF) and acid durability factor (ADF) were determined, and the results were compared with the control mix. Chloride ions penetration was investigated by conducting rapid chlorination penetration test and accelerated corrosion penetration test on control mix and ternary blended cement concrete. From the results, it was evident that the usage of these mineral admixtures is having a beneficiary role on the strength as well as durability properties. The results inferred that the utilization of these materials as a partial replacement of cement have significantly enhanced the compressive strength of blended concrete mix in 30 MPa, 50 MPa and 70 MPa by 42.95%, 32.48% and 22.79%. The blended concrete mix shown greater resistance to acid attack compared to control mix concrete. Chloride ion ingress of the blended cement concrete mix was low compared to control mix implying the beneficiary role of mineral admixtures.

Acid mine drainage occurrence is a serious environmental problem by mining industry, it usually contains high levels of metal ions, such as iron, copper, zinc, aluminum, and manganese, as well as metalloids of which arsenic is generally of the greatest concern. An indigenous plant extract was used to produce calcium carbonate from Canavalia ensiformis as effective biomaterial, and its ability to form the calcium carbonate under stable conditions was compared to that of purified urease. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were employed to elucidate the mechanism of calcium carbonate formation from the crude plant extracts. The results revealed that urease in the plant extracts catalyzed the hydrolysis of urea in liquid state cultures and decreased heavy metal amounts in the contaminated soil. The heavy metal amounts were decreased in the leachate from the treated mine soil; 31.7% of As, 65.8% of Mn, 50.6% of Zn, 51.6% of Pb, 45.1% of Cr, and 49.7% of Cu, respectively. The procedure described herein is a simple and beneficial method of calcium carbonate biomineralization without cultivation of microorganisms or further purification of crude extracts. This study suggests that crude plant extracts of Canavalia ensiformis have the potential to be used in place of purified forms of the enzyme during remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil.

We investigated hydrochemical and stable isotope characteristics of groundwater in a large agricultural plain, the Honam plain, to evaluate the adequacy of agricultural water supply. For preliminary assessment for the area, we collected 23 groundwater samples from domestic wells and conducted hydrochemical and water stable isotope analysis. Groundwater in the study area is mainly Ca-HCO3 type resulting from water-rock interactions. Stable oxygen and hydrogen isotopic compositions indicated that recharge water is derived from precipitation while some sampling sites had evaporation signatures. Irrigation water quality using sodium absorption ratio and salinity hazard showed most of the groundwater samples were found to be suitable for irrigation. The groundwater in the southwestern part of the study area was affected by both seawater intrusion and agricultural activities, indicating a higher possibility of groundwater contamination near the coastal areas. Elevated concentrations of nitrate and phosphate ions in the groundwater are considered to be influenced by anthropogenic activities such as fertilizer application. It is expected that this study would be able to provide preliminary information on groundwater quality for agricultural water supply in the Mangyeong-Dongjin watershed.

일본의 묘기 광상에서 산출되는 벤토나이트를 대상하여 광물학적, 물리화학적 성질 및 열적성질을 측정하였으며, 이 연구의 주목적은 악틴족 원소인 U, Th과 란탄족 원소인 Ce, Eu에 대해 천연산 Na-형 벤토나이트의 흡착특성을 파악하기 위함이다 묘기 벤토나이트는 pH 10.4 정도로 높은 알카리성을 나타낸다. 또한 높은 점도, 팽윤도, CEC 값을 나타내고, 수용액과의 반응에서 짧은 시간에 안정화되어 균질한 상태를 유지하였다. 화학성분 분석결과 $Na_2O$가 CaO에 비해 상대적으로 높은 함량비를 보이는 것으로 보아 묘기 벤토나이트를 구성하는 스멕타이트는 Na-형에 속한다. 열분석 결과 벤토나이트의 전암시료와 점토입자 이하 시료는 각각 $591^{\circ}C$와 $658^{\circ}C$에서 분해됨이 확인되었다. 점토입자 시료 0.2g을 U. Th, Ce그리고 Eu의 각 여러 농도별, pH별 용액 20mL와 반응시킨 흡착실험을 행하였다. 그 결과, 농도 및 pH변화에 따른 흡착량의 변화는 Ce, Th과 Eu용액의 경우 비교적 일정한 흡착량의 감소를 보이나, U용액은 농도가 높아질수록, pH가 증가될수록 급격한 흡착량의 감소를 나타내었다. 흡착능력은 Ce, Th, Eu, U 순으로 나타난다. 벤토나이트의 Ce, Eu, Th, U 흡착은 스멕타이트의 양이온교환반응과 표면흡착반응 이외에도 수용액에 존재하는 이온들이 다양한 화학종의 형성과 침전물 형성이 흡착에 큰 영향을 끼치는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 수반되는 제올라이트가 이들 원소들의 흡착에 영향을 끼쳤을 것이다.

본 연구에서는 SCR 탈질 폐촉매의 소다배소-수침출 공정을 통해 얻은 침출액으로부터 강염기성 음이온교환수지인 Lewatit monoplus MP 600을 사용하여, V과 W의 분리/회수를 위한 흡착반응에 영향을 미치는 인자들에 대하여 알아보고, 이를 통하여 흡착 메커니즘을 조사하였다. V과 W 혼합용액의 경우 pH 2-6에서는 두 이온 모두 높은 흡착률을 보였지만, pH 8에서 W의 흡착은 크게 저하되었다. 흡착등온실험에서 V과 W 모두 Langmuir 흡착등온식에 적합하였고, 반응속도론적 고찰 결과 pseudo-second-order에 적합하였다. 침출액에서 V과 W의 흡착을 저해하는 Si를 제거하기 위하여 H₂SO₄로 pH를 조절하여 흡착실험을 수행한 결과, pH 8.5에서 가장 낮은 W 흡착률을 보였다. W의 탈착은 강산성 용액에서 거의 이루어지지 않았으며 V은 강산성 용액과 강염기성 용액 모두에서 탈착이 잘 이루어졌다.

본 연구에서는 바나듐광 염배소-수침출 과정을 거쳐 얻어지는 바나듐 함유 수용액으로부터 바나듐을 암모늄메타바나데이트로 침전시켜 회수할 때, 수용액에 존재하는 다른 성분의 이온들이 바나듐 회수에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 바나듐 함유 수용액은 pH가 13 정도인 강알칼리 용액으로서, 암모늄메타바나데이트 침전효율을 높이기 위해서는 수용액 pH를 9 이하로 낮춰야 한다. 그러나 황산으로 수용액 pH를 조절하는 과정에서 알루미늄 이온은 바나듐과 같이 공침되기 때문에 알루미늄 이온을 먼저 제거시켜야 한다. 본 연구에서는 소듐실리케이트를 사용하여 알루미늄-실리케이트 화합물 형태로 침전시킴으로서 알루미늄을 제거하였으며, 이 과정에서 바나듐 손실을 최소화하는 조건에 대하여 알아보았다. 알루미늄 제거 후, 황산을 이용하여 수용액 pH를 9 이하로 조절하는 과정에서 수용액의 실리케이트 성분을 침전시켜 제거하였다. 이 때 황산의 농도와 첨가속도가 바나듐 손실에 큰 영향을 미치며, 가급적 25% 묽은 황산을 사용하여 천천히 첨가함으로서 바나듐 손실을 최소화 하였다. 알루미늄 제거 그리고 수용액 pH 조절 과정을 통하여 얻은 바나듐 수용액에 3 당량의 염화암모늄을 첨가하여 상온에서 침전시킨 결과, 전체적으로 81% 이상의 바나듐을 암모늄메타바나데이트로 회수할 수 있었다. 회수된 암모늄메타바나데이트를 세척한 후 550℃에서 2시간 열처리하여 98.6% 순도의 오산화바나듐을 얻을 수 있었다
