Intensive animal industries create large volumes of nutrient rich effluent, which, if untreated, has the potential for substantial environmental degradation. Aquatic plants in aerobic lagoon systems have the potential to achieve inexpensive and efficient remediation of effluent, and to recover valuable nutrients that would otherwise be lost. Members of the family Lemnaceae (duckweeds) are widely used in lagoon systems, but despite their widespread use in the cleansing of sewage, only limited research has been conducted into their growth in highly eutrophic media, and little has been done to systematically distinguish between different types of media. This study examined the growth characteristics of duckweed in abattoir effluent, and explored possible ways of ameliorating the inhibitory factors to growth on this medium. A series of pot trials was conducted to test the tolerance of duckweed to abattoir effluent partially remediated by a sojourn in anaerobic fermentation ponds, both in its unmodified form, and after the addition of acid to manipulate pH, and the addition of bentonite. Unmodified abattoir effluent was highly toxic to duckweed, although duckweed remained viable and grew sub optimally in media with total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) concentrations of up to 100 mg/l. Duckweed also grew vigorously in effluent diluted 1:4 v/v, containing 56 mg TAN/L and also modified by addition of acid to decrease pH to 7 and by adding bentonite (0.5%).

Cotton is the major fiber crop in Pakistan that accounts for 2% of total national gross domestic product (GDP). After picking of cotton, the dry stalks are major organic waste that has no fate except burning to cook food in villages. Present research focuses use of cotton stalks as feedstock for biochar production, its characterization and effects on soil characteristics. Dry cotton stalks collected from agricultural field of Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan were combusted under anaerobic conditions at $450^{\circ}C$. The physicochemical analysis of biochar and cotton stalks show higher values of % total carbon, phosphorus and potassium concentrations in biochar as compared to cotton stalks. The concentration of nitrogen was decreased in biochar. Similarly biochar had greater values of fixed carbon that suggest its role for carbon sequestration and as a soil amendment. The fourier transformation infrared spectroscopic spectra (FTIR) of cotton stalks and biochar exposed more acidic groups in biochar as compared to cotton stalks. The newly developed functional groups in biochar have vital role in increasing surface properties, cation exchange capacity, and water holding capacity, and are responsible for heavy metal remediation in contaminated soil. In a further test, results show increase in the water holding capacity and nutrient retention by a sandy soil amended with biochar. It is concluded that cotton stalks can be effectively used to prepare biochar.

Unmodified abattoir effluent was highly toxic to duckweed, even at dilutions of 3:1. Duckweed remained viable and grew sub-optimally in simplified media with total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) concentrations of up to 100 mg/L. Duckweed grew vigorously in effluent diluted 1:4 v/v, containing 56 mg TAN/L when modified by addition of acid (to decrease pH to 7) and bentonite at 0.5%. The results of this study suggest that bentonite plays an important role in modifying the toxicity of abattoir effluent to duckweed.

In the United States (U.S.), the monitored natural attenuation (MNA) approach has been used as an alternative remedial option for organic and inorganic compounds retained in soil and dissolved in groundwater. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines the MNA as“in-situ naturally-occurring processes include biodegradation, diffusion, dilution, sorption, volatilization, and/or chemical and biochemical stabilization of contaminants and reduce contaminant toxicity, mobility or volume to the levels that are protective of human health and the environment”. The Department of Soil Environment. National Institute Environmental Research (NIER) is in the process for demonstrating the MNA approach as a potential remedial option for the BTEX contaminated site in Uiwang City. The project is charactering the research site in terms of the nature and extend of contamination, biological degradation rate, and geochemical and hydrological properties. The microbial-degradation rate and effectiveness of nutrient and redox supplements will be determined through laboratory batch and column tests. The geochemical process will be monitored for determining the concentration changes of chemical species involved in the electron transfer processes that include methanogenesis, sulfate and iron reduction, denitrification, and aerobic respiration. Through field works, critical soil and hydrogeologic parameters will be acquired to simulate the effects of dispersion, advection, sorption, and biodegradation on the fate and transport of the dissolved-phase BTEX plume using Bioplume III model. The objectives of this multi-years research project are (1) to evaluate the MNA approach using the BTEX contaminated site in Uiwang City, (2) to establish a standard protocol for future application of the approach, (3) to investigate applicability of the passive approach as a secondary treatment remedy after active treatments. In this presentation, the overall picture and philosophy behind the MNA approach will be reviewed. Detailed discussions of the site characterization/monitoring plans and risk-based decision-making processes for the demonstration site will be included.

본 연구는 부유 식물 물상추를 이용하여 수질 개선과 무기양분 흡수 특성을 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 초기 Sonneveld-2S 처리에서 물상추는 $NH^+_4$를 $NO^-_3$보다 더 많이 흡수하여 초기 pH 값이 가장 낮았으나 시간이 지남에 따라 pH가 올라갔다. 대부분 빗물로 구성된 연못은 EC가 생육시기 전반에 걸쳐 낮았다. 식재 30일에서 50일 사이에 총 부유물질이 모든 처리에서 급격하게 증가하다가 그 이후 다시 감소하였다. 생육기간 동안 DO는 낮아졌으며 동시에 COD 값은 이와 상반된 결과를 보였다. 식재 100일 후 물상추의 초장, 초폭, 분지수와 생체중은 Sonneveld-2S 처리에서 가장 높았으며 연못물에서 가장 낮았다. 연못물 처리를 제외한 모든 처리에서 분지수는 급격히 증가하였다. 특히 생활하수에서 초장과 초폭은 Sonneveld-2S와 Sonneveld-1S 처리와 거의 비슷할 정도로 식물 생장이 왕성하였다. Yamazaki의 공식으로 무기 양분의 흡수량을 계산한 결과 총질소는 Sonnveld-2S에서 $112.5me{\cdot}L^{-1}$, Sonnveld-1S에서 $56.6me{\cdot}L^{-1}$, Sonnveld-1/2S에서 $17.4me{\cdot}L^{-1}$, 연못물에서 $3.7me{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 그리고 생활하수에서 $31.8me{\cdot}L^{-1}$로 다른 무기 이온에 비해 질소를 가장 많이 흡수하였다. 총 질소의 흡수량은 각각 식물체 분석 결과 물상추 내 총 질소는 모든 처리에서 지하부가 지상부에 비해 더 높았다. 생활하수 처리에서 총 질소는 지상부와 지하부가 비슷한 수준을 보였다. 인은 Sonnveld-2S에서 $15.6me{\cdot}L^{-1}$, Sonnveld-1S에서 $1.72me{\cdot}L^{-1}$, Sonnveld-1/2S에서 $3.13me{\cdot}L^{-1}$, 생활하수에서 $5.0me{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 흡수하였다. 물상추가 식물 양분 형태로 질소와 인을 흡수 및 제거하여 부영양화된 수질을 정화할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 소하천형 호수의 수질개선 및 친환경적 생태공원조성을 위한 퇴적저니 처리방안을 수립하기 위하여 기존에 실시된 기본계획의 타당성 및 퇴적저니의 오염도 등을 검토하고 이를 토대로 최적의 퇴적저니 처리.처분계획을 수립하는데 목적이 있다. 퇴적저니의 정확한 오염도 분석을 위하여 총 9개 지점에 대해 저니층별로 23개소에 대한 퇴적저니를 채취하여 오염도를 분석한 결과 Cu의 경우 4개 시료가 지정폐기물 기준(3mg/L)을 초과하였다. 거의 전 지점의 시료가 농경지에 대한 Cu의 토양오염우려기준(50 mg/kg)을 초과한 것으로 조사되었다 그외 Pb및 Hg은 모두 기준이하로 분석되었다. 퇴적저니의 적정 처리방안을 수립하기 위하여 유기물 및 영양염류 오염도에 따른 퇴적저니의 준설필요성 여부를 국내 팔당호 및 한강하류 적용기준과 일본 동경만 및 요코하마만 적용기준에 의거 검토하고, 또한 중금속 오염도에 따른 퇴적저니의 처리여부를 일본, 미국 및 캐나다 기준을 적용하여 검토한 결과, 유기물 및 영양염류에 대한 오염도는 심각한 수준은 아니었으며, 유해물질에 의한 오염도는 일본기준에는 대부분 만족하나 저서생물에 미치는 악영향을 기준으로 설정된 미국 및 캐나다 기준에 대해서는 모두 중간오염 또는 심한오염에 해당하는 것으로 판정되었다. 그래서 퇴적저니 처리방안을 검토하기 위하여 선진국에서 많이 사용되고 있는 퇴적저니 정화방안중 중금속 안정화에 효과적인 고형화/안정화 방안을 검토한 결과 저니내의 Cu의 용출농도를 줄일 수 있었다. 또한 혼합된 시멘트 고화체는 높은 압축강도를 나타내어 건설용 토사나 제방성토용으로 사용 가능할 것으로 생각되었다. 나타내는 결과이다. 특별히 토양내 흡착력이 약하고 지하수내에 쉽게 용해될 수 있으며 독성 및 발암성물질로 알려진 사염화탄소와 같은 염소계 유기화합물의 제거에 효과적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.3}$C(PDB)값은 -6.2~0.0$\textperthousand$범위이며, 그 기원은 대수층인 지층내 탄산염암 또는 탄산염 광물의 용해에서 유래한 무기기원 탄소로 해석된다.다.으로 변화하였으며 치료 전에 반응하지 않던 항원에 새롭게 반응하는 항체가 나타나는 경우는 드물었다.ms of chlorophyll-a concentration estimation, however, the accuracy stays very similar compared to that of the CZCS-type algorithm. This is considered to be due to the nature of in-water algorithm which relies on spectral ratio of water-leaving radiances.ethanol의 혈중농도(血中濃度)가 높을수록 더 심(甚)한 혈압강하작용(血壓降下作用)을 나타내며, ethanol 로 인(因)한 이뇨작용(利尿作用)도 ethanol 량(量)이 증가(增加)함에 따라 뇨량(尿量)도 증가(增加)함을 보여 주었다.ults showed that the overall quality of Sullungtang significantly decreased as the parity increased for Hanwoo cows.
