In this study, a phenomenon of saltwater intrusion was monitored under various conditions regarding recharge and pumping rate using time domain reflectometry for a laboratory scale unconfined aquifer to verify the basic theory behind seawater intrusion and to investigate movement of salt-freshwater interface in accordance with the ratio of pumping and recharge rate. Results showed that a thick mixing zone was formed at the boundary instead of a sharp salt-freshwater interface that was assumed by Ghyben and Herzberg who derived an equation relating the water table depth $(H_f)$ to the depth to the interface $(H_s)$. Therefore our experimental results did not agree with the calculated values obtained from the Ghyben and Herzberg equation. Position of interface which was adopted as 0.5 g/L isochlor moved rapidly as the Pumping rate $(Q_p)$ increased for a given recharge rate $(Q_r)$. In addition, interface movement was found to be about 7 times the ratio of $Q_p/Q_r$ in our experimental condition. This indicates that Pumping rate becomes an important factor controlling the seawater intrusion in coastal aquifer.

The geochemical studies on groundwater in the borehole, which is straddled by multi-packer (MP) system, were carried out from a volcanic terrain in the Yeosu area. The pH of groundwater collected from selected sections in the MP-installed borehole is much higher (up to 9.6) than that of the borehole groundwater (7.0-7.9) collected using conventional pumping technique. Hydrochemistry shows that the groundwater has a typical chemical change with increasing sampling depth, suggesting that the groundwater is evolved through water-rock interaction along the fracture-controlled flow paths. The groundwater from the deeper part (138-175 m below the surface) in borehole KI is characterized by the Ca-C11 type with high Ca (up to 160 mg/L) and Cl (up to 293 mg/L) contents, probably reflecting seawater intrusion. The groundwater also has high sodium and sulfate contents compared to the waters from other boreholes. These observed groundwater chemistry is explained by the cation exchange, sulfide oxidation, and mixing process with seawater along the flow path.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the relations between the bacterial concentration and the environmental factors in the water soluble metal working fluids at factories. Methods: The bacterial concentrations for airborne and fluid samples of 7 factories were quantified during the summer season. And we statistically analysed the relations between the bacterial concentrations and the factors such as temperature, relative humidity, usage quantity, mixing ratio and exchange interval. Results: The geometric mean levels of the airborne bacterial concentrations were 79.1(range : N.D.~686) $CFU/m^{3}$ and 68.1(range: N.D.~919) $CFU/m^{3}$ in the process and outdoor. The airborne bacterial concentrations showed no statistical difference by process, usage quantity, mixing ratio and exchange interval. The airborne bacterial concentrations had negatively weak correlations with air temperature and relative air humidity(p<0.05). The bacterial concentrations and pH showed significantly negative correlations in the fluids(p<0.05). And the airborne bacterial concentrations in factories and those in metal working fluids showed no statistical relationship. Conclusions: In the water soluble metal working fluids using factories, the airborne bacterial concentrations of the process were related to those of the outdoor and environmental factors, rather than the onsite contaminated metal working fluids.

Two methods, precipitation and ultrafiltration, were applied in order to recover platinum group metals(PGM) by complexing them with water-soluble polyelectrolytes, e.g., polyethyleneimine [PEl], poly(2-vinylpyridine) [2-PVP], poly (4-vinylpyridine) [4-PVP], and poly (styrene sulfonic acid) [PSSA]. In the precipitation method, the PGM-polyelectrolyte complex that was formed by mixing first with polybase, e.g.,4-PVP at pH 1 was precipitated by further mixing with polyacid, e.g., PSSA. However, the recovery of PGM obtained by this method was not quantitative(less than 70%). The "sandwiching" binding between the metal anions and two polyelectrolytes was examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The XPS studies indicated that the PGM atom was bound with the acdic and basic polyelectrolyte via its oxygen and nitrogen atom, respectively. The recovery of PGM using polyelectrolyte was further studied by ultrafiltration methods as follows : The PGM ions, eomplexed at pH 1 with polyelectrolyte, allowed the applicntion of membrane filtration by virtue of the great differences in molecular weights between PGM and other low molecular weight species. By applying this method, Pd and Pt (ca. $10^{-4}M$) were selectively separated almost quantitatively from coexisting metal ions, e.g., $Cu^{2+}$ and $Ni^{2+}$. The EPR spectra and viscosity measurements indicated that these polyelectrlytes were not bound to $Cu^{2+}$ and $Ni^{2+}$ ions at this pH, which provided the basis for selective separation of PGM(Pd, Pt and Rh) from these coexisting ions.

이 연구에서는 침수식생 조건에서 식생 형태 별 frontal area, solid volume fraction이 유속 분포에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 흐름측정결과로부터 식생 형태에 따른 난류흐름특성을 분석하기 위하여 수행 되었다. 식생흐름 구현을 위하여 5 cm의 간격으로 총 257개의 모형식생을 전체 영역에 배치했다. 유속측정위치는 수위측정결과에 따라 흐름이 안정화되는 구간에서 연직방향으로 17개 지점에서 측정한 후 앙상블 평균하여 분석했다. Branch의 유무에 따라 Type I과 II로 구분하여 각 식생에 대해 유속의 연직분포를 측정한 결과, Branch가 없는 Type I에서는 유속이 지속적으로 감소하는 반면, Type 2에서는 Frontal area가 급격히 증가하는 Branch 구간에서 유속이 급격히 감소한 후 Trunk 구간에서 유속이 다시 증가하는 변화를 보였다. Velocity Spectrum 분석 결과, 모든 지점에 대해 평균한 결과 고주파수 영역에서 -5/3 law를 따르는 것으로 나타나 전체 영역에서 isotropic & homogeneous 난류흐름이 발생함을 확인했다. 난류흐름특성 계산결과, Turbulent kinetic energy(k)를 mean kinetic energy(K)로 무차원화하여 연직분포를 비교했을 때 -k/K는 모두 식생에 근접하며 증가했다. Shear production(P_s)의 계산결과로부터 전단흐름에 의한 난류운동에너지 생성영향분석결과, Type I과 II가 식생경계의 mixing interface 부근에서 급격히 증가하는 분포를 보였으며, 이는 시간평균유속분포에서 분석한 결과와 일치한다. Wake production(P_w)의 연직분포계산결과, P_s와 유사하게 식생경계 부근에서 상승하는 결과가 나타났으며, 이는 식생경계에서 발생하는 Large scale eddy로 인해 발생함을 알 수 있다. 마지막으로 x-방향 난류확산계수로부터 scale factor(α_x)의 연직분포를 계산한 결과, 식생경계부근의 mixing interface에서 증가한 후 식생영역 내에서 감소하는 분포를 나타냈다. z-방향 난류확산 계수의 scale factor(α_z)는 α_x에 비해 작게 계산되었다. 이러한 결과는 오염물질의 연직확산이 식생경계에서 증가한 후 식생 내부에서 감소하여 오염물질, 부유사 등의 축적이 이뤄질 것으로 예상된다. 이는 가지로 인해 식생저항이 증가할 경우 용존성 물질의 혼합이 감소하여 식생의 저장대 효과가 증가함을 의미한다.

The present study was conducted to provide basic data for environmentally friendly treatment of manure using vermicomposting. This was done by investigating the influence of physiochemical property change during the composting period on the survival of earthworms after mixing cow manure in different levels (0(CRH0), 10(CRH10), 20(CRH20), 30(CRH30), and 40%(CRH40)) with the rice hull that is generally added for composting manure. As composting proceeds, earthworms were able to survive in all conditions after 3 weeks. In terms of the C/N ratio by treatment groups, the rice hull mix treatments were significantly higher than the CRH0 treatment. Among rice hull mix treatments, the treatments with 30~40% rice hull level (CRH30 & CRH40) showed the highest ratio out of all composting periods (p<0.05). The C/N ratio in the 3rdweek when earthworms started surviving was 23.26~34.44. As composting progressed, pH and electrolytic conductivity (EC) were the highest in the CRH0 treatment (p<0.05) and tended to decrease with higher proportion of rice hull in the mix. It was found that pH and electrolytic conductivity (EC) that earthworms start to survive are 7.58~7.74 and 0.41~1.17 mS/cm, respectively. To summarize, when composing cow manure with various levels of rice hull mix, all physiochemical property changes turned out to allow the survival of earthworms, but the results suggest that efficient vermicomposting requires the tests to examine the growth and reproduction according to the rice hull mix ratio.

In order to study bread properties utilizing extracts of pine needle, various mixing percentage were applied to select appropriate ratio between water and extracts. Dough pH, dough pH after first fermentation, dough volume, bread volume and baking loss rate were tested to investigate bread properties after adding extracts of pine needle to bread. The results were summarized as follows; The effects of extracts percentage on pH value of dough according to preparation method were the lowest in the method of hot air drying of pine needle powder. After first fermentation, dough pH was tended to have a the same tendency as above. Dough volume and bread volume were tended to be increased as extracts percentage of pine needle were increased. The percentage of baking loss tended to be a little increased as addition level of extracts was increased. Strength of hardness were increased as storage time passed away. In conclusion, the taste and texture of bread were tended to be decreased as storage time goes, but the strength of pine needle flavour were tended to be increased as addition level of extracts were increased, irrespective of preparation method.

The performance of polymer photovoltaic cells based on blends of poly(3-hexylyhiophene) (P3HT) and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) is strongly influenced by blend composition and thickness. Polymer photovoltaic cells based on bulk-heterojunction have been fabricated with a structure of ITO/poly(3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)-pentacene/poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)/Al. We have prepared PEDOT:PSS by dissolving pentacene in N-methylpyrrolidine (NMP) and mixing with PEDOT:PSS. Pentacene was added a maximum concentration of approximately 5.5mg to the PEDOT:PSS solution and sonicated for 10 min. Active layer (P3HT:PCBM) (1:1) was strongly influenced by PEDOT:PSS-pentacene. We have investigated the performance of photovoltaic device with different concentration of P3HT:PCBM (1:1) 2.0wt%, 2.2wt%, 2.4wt% and 2.6wt%, respectively. The photocurrent and power conversion efficiency (PCE) showed a maximum between 2.0wt% and 2.2wt% concentration of P3HT:PCBM. This implied that both morphology and electron transport properties of the layer influenced the performance of the present photovoltaic cells. As the concentration of P3HT:PCBM blends as an active layer was increased, the power conversion efficiency was decreased. P3HT:PCBM layer and PEDOT:PSS-pentacene layer were characterized by work function, UV-visible absorption, atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM).
