The purpose of this study was to determine the inhibitory effect of heavy metals [Cd(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II)] on the growth of Rhodobacter species (Rhodobacter blasticus, Rhodobacter sphaeroides, and Rhodobacter capsulatus) and their potential use for Cd(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) bioremoval from liquid media. The presence of toxic heavy metals prolonged the lag phase in growth and reduced biomass growth for all three Rhodobacter species at concentrations of Cd, Ni, and Zn above 10 mg/L. However, all three Rhodobacter species also had a relatively high specific growth rate against each toxic heavy metal stress test for concentrations below 20 mg/L and possessed a potential bioaccumulation ability. The removal efficiency by all strains was highest for Cd(II), followed by Ni(II), and lowest for Zn(II), with the removal efficiency of Cd(II) by Rhodobacter species being 66% or more. Among the three strains, R. blasticus showed a higher removal efficiency of Cd(II) and Ni(II) than R. capsulatus and R. sphaeroides. Results also suggest that the bio-removal processes of toxic heavy metal ions by Rhodobacter species involve both bioaccumulation (intracellular uptake) and biosorption (surface binding).

Cyclic sweep voltametry was performed to investigate the electrochemical behavior of heavy metal ions and the organic additives in surface finishing process. And electrolysis using parallel plate electrode electrolyzer was carried out to simulate the treatment of real waste water. Results showed that more than 99 percent of Cu was recovered and selective recovery of Cu in mixed waste water was possible, but the possibility of economical recovery of Ni and Cr were very low due to the evolution of hydrogen gas. Electrochemical oxidation of cyanide and organic additives on anode showed very excellent removal rate. The complete removal of several hundred ppm of cynide was possible within several tens minutes and organics within 2 or 3 hours. Even in case of concentrate waste water, the complete removal of COD by using NaCl and air stirring seemed to be possible.

The application of plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) supports the growth of plants in contaminated soil while ureolytic bacteria can immobilise heavy metals by carbonate precipitation. Thus, dual treatment with such bacteria may be beneficial for plant growth and bioremediation in contaminated soil. This study aimed to determine whether the PGPR Pseudomonas fluorescens could work in synergy with ureolytic bacteria to assist with the remediation of cadmium (Cd)- and lead (Pb)-contaminated soils. Pot experiments were conducted to grow radish plants in Cd- and Pb-contaminated soils treated with PGPR P. fluorescens and the results were compared with dual inoculation of P. fluorescens combined with ureolytic Staphylococcus epidermidis HJ2. The removal rate of the metals from the soil was more than 83% for Cd and Pb by the combined treatment compared to 17% by PGPR alone. Further, the dual treatment reduced the metal accumulation in the roots by more than 80%. The translocation factors for Cd and Pb in plant tissues in both treatments remained the same, suggesting that PGPR combined with the carbonate precipitation process does not hamper the transfer of essential metal ions into plant tissues from the soil.

Lead(II) removal efficiency by natural kaolinite was investigated through laboratory experiments. This study was conducted in two phases-sorption and desorption. In the adsorption study, the influence of sorption kinetics and sorption isotherm and various parameters such as pH, temperature, coexisting other heavy metal ions on the lead adsorption was investigated. And desorption study was carried out in order to find the re-usability of kaolinite as an adsorbent. The results of the study are as follows. 1. Sorption kinetics was investigated under the condition of 2.5 mg/l adsorbent concentration, pH 6.5$\pm$0.05, temperature $30\pm 0.5\circ$C, initial lead(II) concentration 25 mg/l. Adsorption rate was initially rapid and the extent of adsorption arrived at adsorption equilibrium with 73% adsorption efficiency in an hour. 2. The sorption isotherm experiment was made with different initial lead(II) concentration. A linearized Freundlich equation was used to fit the acquired experimental data. As a result, Freundlich constants, the sorption intensity (1/n) was 0.47 and the measure of sorption (k) was 2.44. So, it was concluded that sorption of lead(II) by kaolinite is effective. 3. The effect of pH on lead(II) sorption by kaolinite shows that at a pH of 3, only 6% of the total lead(II) was adsorbed and at a pH 9, 97% of the lead(II) was removed. And the effect of temperature on lead(II) sorption by kaolinite shows that as the temperature increased, the amount of lead(II) sorption per unit weight of kaolinite increased. But the effect was minor (p<0.05). 4. Sorption isotherm of lead coexisting cadmium (II) or zinc (II) was lower than that of lead itself. It was caused by the result of competitive sorption to adsorption site. And there was no difference between the sorption isotherm of cadmium and zinc. 5. In desorption studies, only 5.12% desorption took place in distilled water, while 52.08% in 0.1 N hydrochloric acid. Consequently used kaolinite could be regenerated by hydrochoric acid.

Cassava peelings waste, which is both a waste and pollutant, was chemically modified using mercaptoacetic acid (MAA) and used to adsorb $Cu^{2+}\;and\;Cd^{2+}$ from aqueous solution over a wide range of reaction conditions at $30^{\circ}C$. Acid modification produced a larger surface area, which significantly enhanced the metal ion binding capacity of the biomass. An adsorption model based on the $Cu^{2+}/Cd^{2+}$ adsorption differences was developed to predict the competition of the two metal ions towards binding sites for a mixed metal ion system. The phytosorption process was examined in terms of Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich models. The models indicate that the cassava waste biomass had a greater phytosorption capacity, higher affinity and greater sorption intensity for $Cu^{2+}\;than\;Cd^{2+}$. According to the evaluation using Langmuir equation, the monolayer binding capacity obtained was 127.3 mg/g $Cu^{2+}$ and 119.6 mg/g $Cd^{2+}$. The kinetic studies showed that the phytosorption rates could be described better by a pseudo-second order process and the rate coefficients was determined to be $2.04{\times}10^{-3}\;min^{-1}\;and\;1.98{\times}10^{-3}\;min^{-1}\;for\;Cu^{2+}\;and\;Cd^{2+}$ respectively. The results from these studies indicated that acid treated cassava waste biomass could be an efficient sorbent for the removal of toxic and valuable metals from industrial effluents.

우리나라 갯벌과 농지내 유 ${\cdot}$ 무기 원소의 거동을 이해하기 위해 제한된 환경의 실험실 수조에서 예비실험을 수행하였다. 총 6개의 아크릴 투명 수조에 갯벌 퇴적물 3종 SW1&2(anoxic, silty mud), SW3&4(anoxic, mud), SW5&6(suboxic, mud)과 농지 토양 3종 FW1&2(벼 포기 포함), FW3&4(벼 포기 제외), FW5&6(간척 농지,펴 포기 제외)을 채운 후 오염물질(구리, 비소, 카드뮴, 크롬, 납, 수은, Glucose+Glutamic acid)이 주입된 해수와 담수를 각각 SW 및 FW수조에 넣고, 2주일에 걸쳐 상층수 및 표층 퇴적물/토양을 채취 ${\cdot}$ 분석하였다. 분석 결과 FW와 SW상층수 중 질산염 이온의 농도는 각각 700${\sim}$800 ${\mu}$M, 2${\sim}$5 ${\mu}$M로 FW에서 현저히 높았고, 인산염 이온의 농도는 각각 3${\sim}$4 ${\mu}$M, 1${\sim}$2 ${\mu}$M(SW1 제외)로 FW에서 약간 높았다. 특이하게 SW1에서 인산염 이온은 시간이 지남에 따라 수 십 ${\mu}$M에 이르는 높은 농도로 증가하였다. 한편, 표층 퇴적물/토양 중 박테리아 세포 수는 FW1&3에서 평균 2.5${\times}$10$^9$cells/g dry sediment으로 SW의 평균 3.0${\times}$10$^8$cells/g dry sediment 보다 약 10배가 높았다. FW5 토양 중 박테리아 세포 수(3.5${\times}$10$^8$cells/g dry sediment)는 SW 퇴적물 중 숫자와 유사하였다. SW 퇴적물 중 MUF-Phosphate 활성도는 100-200 nM/ml/hr이지만 FW5&6을 제외한 FW 토양에서는 약 2,000 nM/ml/hr로 현저히 크게 나타났다. ${\beta}$-D-Cellobiose, ${\alpha}$-D-Glucose, 그리고 ${\beta}$-D-Glucos의 활성도 또한 FW 퇴적물에서 큰 값을 보였다. 그러나 FW5&6 토양 중 효소활성도는 SW 퇴적물에서의 값과 유사했다. 수조 상층수 중 Cu, Cd, As 농도는 모든 FW, SW수조에서 시간이 지남에 따라 일관성 있게 감소하였고, 제거속도는 Cu가 다른 원소에 비해 빨랐다. 제거속도는 FW 3개 수조 중 FW5&6에서 세 원소 모두 가장 느렸고, SW 3개 수조 중에서는 SW1&2에서 가장 빨랐다. SW와 FW간 제거속도 차이는 세 원소 모두 명확치 않았다 Cr은 FW에서 전반적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였지만 SW에서는 실험 초기에 감소하다 24시간 이후에는 증가 후 일정한 양상을 보였다. Pb은 FW에서 전반적으로 감소했지만 SW에서는 초기에 급격히 증가 후 다시 급격히 감소하는 양상을 보였다 Pb 또한 Cu, Cd, As와 마찬가지로 SW1&2에서 제거속도가 가장 빠르게 나타났다. FW 상층수 중 Hg는 시간에 따라 급격히 감소했고, 제거속도는 Fw5&6에서 가장 느렸다. 이러한 결과에 근거할 때 벼가 자라고 있고 이분해성 유기물이 풍부한 FW1&2, FW3&4 토양과 상층수에서는 유기물의 분해 활동이 활발하였지만, 벼가 경작되지 않는 FW5&6과 SW 에서는 유기물이 상대적으로 결핍되어 유기물의 분해활동이 적었을 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 수조에 인위적으로 유기물을 첨가한 경우 박테리아 세포수는 SW1에서 164시간 동안 4배 증가하였으나 SW3과 SW5에서는 각각 2.7배, 1.5배 그리고 FW1&3&5의 경우 각각 약 2배, 1.7배, 0.6배 정도만 증가하였다. Cu, Cd, As등 친 유기성 원소들의 시간에 따른 농도 감소 그리고 이들 원소(Hg 포함) 농도 감소 속도가 유기물이 적은 FW5&6에서 상대적으로 느리게 나타난 결과 등은 이들 금속들이 부유 입자 표면의 유기물과 결합 ${\cdot}$ 침적되어 퇴적물로 제거되었기 때문에 나타난 결과로 생각된다. 한편, SW1&2에서 이들 원소의 제거 속도가 빨랐고 인산염 이온의 농도가크게 증가했던 원인은 SW3&4에 비해 상대적으로 공극이 큰 퇴적물로 채워진 SW1&2 퇴적물의 공극수 중 황화수소, 인산염 이온 등이 퇴적물 상층수로 쉽게 확산 ${\cdot}$ 공급되었고, 그 결과 Cu, Cd, As 등 금속 이온이 황화수소 이온과 결합 ${\cdot}$ 제거된 까닭으로 생각된다. 종합적으로 수조 상층수중 유 ${\cdot}$ 무기 원소의 거동은 주로 입자 표면의 유기물과 퇴적물/토양에서 공급된 황화물에 의해 조절된 것으로 생각된다.
