Transition metal (Me = Cu, Fe, Ni) doped (Pr, Ba)Co₂O_5+𝛿 (PBCO) material were investigated in terms of electronic structure change and electrochemical properties. It was confirmed that (Pr, Ba)(Co, Cu)O_5+𝛿 (PBCCu) and (Pr, Ba)(Co, Fe)O_5+𝛿 (PBCFe) showed cubic and orthorhombic structures, respectively, but (Pr, Ba)(Co, Ni)O_5+𝛿 (PBCNi) showed secondary phases. PBCCu has an average particle diameter of 1093 nm, and PBCO and PBCFe have an average particle diameter of 495.1 nm and 728 nm, respectively. The average oxidation values of B site ions in PBCMe were calculated to be 3.26 (PBCO), 2.48 (PBCCu), 3.32 (PBCFe), and valence band maximum (VBM) was -0.42 eV (PBCO), -0.58 eV (PBCCu), -0.11 eV (PBCFe). It is expected that PBCCu easily interacts with adsorbed oxygen due to the lowest oxidation value and the highest VBM. The polarization resistance was 0.91 Ω cm² (PBCO), 0.77 Ω cm² (PBCCu), 1.06 Ω cm² (PBCFe) at 600℃, showing the lowest polarization resistance of PBCCu.

With the rapid development of highways and railways, series of traffic safety issues emerged because of mudstone disintegration. To research on the mechanism and further guarantee the stability and safety of transportation infrastructure built on or near mudstone formations, the mudstone disintegration test of mudstone was carried out based on mudstone and sandy mudstone. The element types, cementation characteristics and pore characteristics of the tested specimens were studied by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Image Pro Plus (IPP). The disintegration index of mudstone was approximately 1%, and even some specimens were difficult to be calculated, while the disintegration index of sandy mudstone is approximately 8.7%. According to the results, the two mudstones belong to grade II and III disintegration respectively, of which the sandy stone presents more extensive disintegration than mudstone. This phenomenon was distinguished that, the clay minerals of mudstone are approximately 25% more abundant than those of sandy mudstone, and the unit pore area is 20 ㎛² larger, which result in different microstructure and water absorption capacities. In the liquid phase, the ions in the mudstone specimens were exchanged and combined with water molecules in the environment during the whole disintegration process. This results in continuous spalling and fragmentation of clay minerals, the emergence of secondary fractures, and the deepening of primary fractures.

본 연구에서는 오리멀젼(orimulsion)을 연소하는 발전소에서 배출되는 가시백연의 가시도 증가를 확인하고, 그 원인을 파악하고자 하였다. 오리멀젼을 연료로 사용하는 발전소에서는 미세 먼지입자와 황화합물이 포함된 연기를 발생한다. 발전소 공정데이터를 바탕으로 미세 먼지입자의 영향에 대해서는 모니터링을 통한 로그정규분포로 배출입자의 입도분포를 대입하였고, 황화합물 에어로졸 2차 입자의 주성분$(NH_4)_2SO_4$의 생성 화학방정식을 고려하였다. 연기에 의한 가시도를 정량적으로 평가하고자 미국의 EPA에서 개발된 대표적 시정모델인 PLUVUE-II 모델을 응용하였다. PLUVUE-II 모델이 단파장에만 모사되는 문제를 개선하여 가시광선 전 영역에서 계산이 가능하도록 하여 가시도에 따른 최대 연기거리를 광학적 방법으로 계산하였다. 모델링 결과로써 미세입자의 분포와 황화합물의 농도에 따른 최대 연기거리의 변화를 평가하였다. 연구 결과로 오리멀젼의 연소로 발생된 가시백연이 미세입자와 황화합물의 2차 입자에 의해 유발될 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 이러한 가시백연의 저감을 위해서는 미세입자의 크기와 황 화합물의 배출에 대한 제어가 필요하다고 판단된다.

To understand the distribution characteristics of PM_2.5 concentration in the Saemangeum Reclamation Area and nearby areas, three points of the background area, the occurrence area, and the affected area were selected and samples were collected for each season. The chemical composition was determined. As a result of analyzing the chemical composition contained in PM_2.5, NO₃^- (7.2 ㎍/m³), SO₄^2- (4.3 ㎍/m³), NH₄+ (4.3 ㎍/m³), OC (2.5 ㎍/m³), Si (1.3 ㎍/m³) m³) and EC (0.5 ㎍/m³) seemed to be the main components, and NO₃-, SO₄^2-, NH₄⁺, which are components that form secondary particles, occupied a large proportion. The composition ratio of PM_2.5 was investigated in the order of ion component (56.8%) > Unknown (27.4%) > carbon component (11.8%) > heavy metal component (4.0%). During the PM_2.5 high concentration case days, the ionic component accounted for 90.7% during atmospheric stagnation cases, whereas the chemical composition ratio was in the order of ionic component (51.7%) > heavy metal component (41.5%) > carbon component (6.8%) during yellow dust cases. It was found that the characteristic of PM_2.5 in the Saemangeum reclaimed land and surrounding areas is mainly influenced by outside (domestic and overseas) throughout the year. Ion components accounted for the largest portion of PM_2.5 components in this area, but there were few sources of SOx and NOx emission in the Seamangeum area, which are precursors for secondary particle formation. Therefore, it is judged that most of these are generated and influenced as a secondary reaction in the atmosphere from the outside.

A severe haze event occurred in October 2015 in Gwangju, Korea. In this study, the driving chemical species and the formation mechanisms of $PM_{2.5}$ pollution were investigated to better understand the haze event. Hourly concentrations of $PM_{2.5}$, organic and elemental carbon, water-soluble ions, and elemental constituents were measured at the air quality intensive monitoring station in Gwangju. The haze event occurred was attributed to a significant contribution (72.3%) of secondary inorganic species concentration to the $PM_{2.5}$, along with the contribution of organic aerosols that were strongly attributed to traffic emissions over the study site. MODIS images, weather charts, and air mass backward trajectories supported the significant impact of long-range transportation (LTP) of aerosol particles from northeastern China on haze formation over Gwangju in October 2015. The driving factor for the haze formation was stagnant atmospheric flows around the Korean peninsula, and high relative humidity (RH) promoted the haze formation at the site. Under the high RH conditions, $SO{_4}^{2-}$ and $NO_3{^-}$ were mainly produced through the heterogenous aqueous-phase reactions of $SO_2$ and $NO_2$, respectively. Moreover, hourly $O_3$ concentration during the study period was highly elevated, with hourly peaks ranging from 79 to 95ppb, suggesting that photochemical reaction was a possible formation process of secondary aerosols. Over the $PM_{2.5}$ pollution, behavior and formation of secondary ionic species varied with the difference in the impact of LTP. Prior to October 19 when the influence of LTP was low, increasing rate in $NO_3{^-}$ was greater than that in $NO_2$, but both $SO_2$ and $SO{_4}^{2-}$ had similar increasing rates. While, after October 20 when the impact of haze by LTP was significant, $SO{_4}^{2-}$ and $NO_3{^-}$ concentrations increased significantly more than their gaseous precursors, but with greater increasing rate of $NO_3{^-}$. These results suggest the enhanced secondary transformation of $SO_2$ and $NO_2$ during the haze event. Overall, the result from the study suggests that control of anthropogenic combustion sources including vehicle emissions is needed to reduce the high levels of nitrogen oxide and $NO_3{^-}$ and the high $PM_{2.5}$ pollution occurred over fall season in Gwangju.

본 연구는 맥주제조공장에서 발생하는 주정오니의 영양염류 용출특성 및 폐수중 존재하는 카드뮴(Cd)이온에 대한 흡착특성을 알아보고 이를 통하여 생물흡착제의 적용가능성을 알아보기 위하여 수행하였다. 흡착실험에 사용된 흡착제는 회화를 하지 않은 원시료(M-Raw)와 $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$로 회화된 시료를 준비하여 증류수를 이용하여 용출실험을 하였으며 그 결과 원시료(M-Raw)의 경우 수중에 용출된 인 질소의 양은 $400^{\circ}C$로 회화시킨 시료(M-400)에 비해 각각 7배, 11배 이상의 용출량을 나타내었으며 이는 회화로 인하여 시료를 구성하고 있는 관능기가 대기중으로 방출되어 수중에 용출되는 양이 감소한 결과로 생각된다. TGA를 이용한 회화 실험결과 $260^{\circ}C\sim380^{\circ}C$범위에서는 급격한 무게감량이 일어 났으며, $380^{\circ}C$ 이후에는 완만한 무게감량이 일어나는 것을 볼 수 있는데 이는 생물흡착제를 구성하고 있는 성분들(cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin)의 서로 다른 분해온도로 인한 결과 로 생각된다. 또한, 회화 전 후의 표면변화를 관찰한 결과 회화를 거치지 않은 시료는 표면이 거칠고 불순물이 존재하는 반면, 회화를 끝낸 시료의 경우 표면의 불순물이 제거되고, 동시에 표면의 갈라짐을 관찰할 수 있었다. 회화 전 후의 생물흡착제 표면변화 및 특성을 알아보기 위하여 미세영상장비와 FT-IR을 사용한 결과, 회화온도가 올라갈수록 흡착제표면의 갈라짐이 관찰되었으며 관능기의 개수는 점차로 줄어드는 결과를 나타내었다. 회화 전 후 시료의 FT-IR 분석결과 회화전 시료의 경우 3300 $cm^{-1}$ 부근에서 hydroxyl group 이 나타났으며 1080~1730 $cm^{-1}$ 범위에서는 여려종류의 관능기를 관찰할 수 있었다. 회화 전 1600~1080 $cm^{-1}$ 부근에서 관찰된 primary amine, secondary amine, aliphatic nitro compounds, aromatic phosphate 등의 작용기는 회화 온도가 증가할수록 spectrum이 점차로 줄어드는 결과를 나타내었다. 중금속 흡착 실험결과 본 실험에서 사용된 생물흡착제의 카드뮴이온 제거율은 농도위 20 mg/L 이하에서 60~91%로 나타났으며, 흡착 평형을 이루는 시간은 3시간이 소요되었다. 실험결과를 Freundlich 및 Langmuir 모델에 적용시킨 결과 Langmuir 모델에 더 잘 부합되는 결과를 나타내었으며, 최대흡착량($Q_{max}$)은 회화를 시키지 않은 시료(M-Raw)의 경우 28.17 mg/g으로 매우 높은 수준을 나타내었다.

Almost five million citizens a day are using subways as a means of traffic communication in the Seoul metropolitan. As the subway system is typically a closed environment, indoor air pollution problems frequently occurs and passengers complain of mal-health impact. Especially $PM_{10}$ is well known as one of the major pollutants in subway indoor environments. The purpose of this study was to compare the indoor air quality in terms of $PM_{10}$ and to quantitatively compare its source contributions in a Seoul subway platform before and after installing platform screen doors (PSD). $PM_{10}$ samples were collected on the J station platform of Subway Line 7 in Seoul metropolitan area from Jun. 12, 2008 to Jan. 12, 2009. The samples collected on membrane filters using $PM_{10}$ mini-volume portable samplers were then analyzed for trace metals and soluble ions. A total of 18 chemical species (Ba, Mn, Cr, Cd, Si, Fe, Ni, Al, Cu, Pb, Ti, $Na^+$, $NH_4^+$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Cl^-$, and ${SO_4}^{2-}$) were analyzed by using an ICP-AES and an IC after performing proper pre-treatments of each sample filter. Based on the chemical information, positive matrix factorization (PMF) model was applied to identify the source of particulate matters. $PM_{10}$ for the station was characterized by three sources such as ferrous related source, soil and road dust related source, and fine secondary aerosol source. After installing PSD, the average $PM_{10}$ concentration was decreased by 20.5% during the study periods. Especially the contribution of the ferrous related source emitted during train service in a tunnel route was decreased from 59.1% to 43.8% since both platform and tunnel areas were completely blocked by screen doors. However, the contribution of the fine secondary aerosol source emitted from various outside combustion activities was increased from 14.8% to 29.9% presumably due to ill-managed ventilation system and confined platform space.

To investigate the seasonal variations of carbonaceous aerosol in Daejeon, OC (organic carbon), EC (elemental carbon) and WSOC (water soluble organic carbon) in $PM_{2.5}$ samples collected from March 2012 to February 2013 were analyzed. $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were estimated by the sum of organic matter ($1.6{\times}OC$), EC, water-soluble ions ($Na^+$, $NH_4{^{+}}$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Cl^-$, $SO_4{^{2-}}$, $NO_3{^{-}}$). The estimated $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were relatively higher in winter ($29.50{\pm}12.04{\mu}g/m^3$) than those in summer ($13.72{\pm}6.92{\mu}g/m^3$). Carbonaceous aerosol ($1.6{\times}OC+EC$) was a significant portion (34~47%) of $PM_{2.5}$ in all season. The seasonally averaged OC and WSOC concentrations were relatively higher in winter ($6.57{\times}3.48{\mu}gC/m^3$ and $4.07{\pm}2.53{\mu}gC/m^3$ respectively), than those in summer ($3.07{\pm}0.8{\mu}gC/m^3$, $1.77{\pm}0.68{\mu}gC/m^3$, respectively). OC was correlated well with WSOC in all season, indicating that they have similar emission sources or formation processes. In summer, both OC and WSOC were weakly correlated with EC and also poorly correlated with a well-known biomass burning tracer, levoglucosan, while WSOC is highly correlated with SOC (secondary organic carbon) and $O_3$. The results suggest that carbonaceous aerosol in summer was highly influenced by secondary formation rather than primary emissions. In contrast, both OC and WSOC in winter were strongly correlated with EC and levoglucosan, indicating that carbonaceous aerosol in winter was closely related to primary source such as biomass burning. The contribution of biomass burning to $PM_{2.5}$ OC and EC, which was estimated using the levoglucosan to OC and EC ratios of potential biomass burning sources, was about $70{\pm}15%$ and $31{\pm}10%$, respectively, in winter. Results from this study clearly show that $PM_{2.5}$ OC has seasonally different chemical characteristics and origins.

The purpose of this study was to extensively identify $PM_{10}$ sources and to estimate their contributions to the study area, based on the analysis of the $PM_{10}$ mass concentration and the associated inorganic elements, ions, and total carbon. The contribution of $PM_{10}$ sources was estimated by applying a receptor method because identifying air emission sources were effective way to control the ambient air quality. $PM_{10}$ particles were collected from May to November 2007 in the Yongin-Suwon bordering area. $PM_{10}$ samples were collected on quartz filters by a $PM_{10}$ high-volume air sampler. The inorganic elements (Al, Mn, V, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Si, Ba, Ti and Ag) were analyzed by an ICP-AES after proper pre-treatments of each sample. The ionic components of these $PM_{10}$ samples ($Cl^_$, $NO_3^-$, $SO_4^{2-}$, $Na^+$, $NH_4^+$, $K^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, and $Mg^{2+}$) were analyzed by an IC. The carbon components (OC1, OC2, OC3, OC4, OP, EC1, EC2 and EC3) were also analyzed by DRI/OGC analyzer. Source apportionment of $PM_{10}$ was performed using a positive matrix factorization (PMF) model. After performing PMF modeling, a total of 8 sources were identified and their contribution were estimated. Contributions from each emission source were as follows: 13.8% from oil combustion and industrial related source, 25.4% from soil source, 22.1% from secondary sulfate, 12.3% from secondary nitrate, 17.7% from auto emission including diesel (12.1%) and gasoline (5.6%), 3.1% from waste incineration and 5.6% from Na-rich source. This study provides information on the major sources affecting air quality in the receptor site, and therefore it will help us maintain and manage the ambient air quality in the Yongin-Suwon bordering area by establishing reliable control strategies for the related sources.

본 연구에서는 고탁도의 사육조건에서 탁수가 어류의 조직과 생리에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 참갈겨니의 아가미와 신장을 사용하였다. 탁도가 높고 사육기간이 길어질수록 아가미에서는 이차 새변의 간격이 불규칙해지고, 곤봉화, 부종, 상피세포의 박리가 나타났으며 새변 사이에는 이물질의 부착이 두드러지게 관찰되었다. 신장조직에서도 탁도의 증가에 따라 사구체가 수축되고 있으며 보우만 주머니의 공간이 넓게 관찰되었다. 고탁도의 탁수가 아가미와 신장 조직 내 항산화효소의 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사해 보면 SOD활성은 아가미와 신장 조직에서 고탁수로 감에 따라 활성이 증가하였으나 CAT와 GPX의 활성은 주로 신장에서 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 즉 고탁수의 스트레스에 의해 생성되는 유해한 라디칼은 주로 신장 조직의 항산화효소에 의해 제거하는 것으로 사료된다. 탁도 변화에 따라 어체에 축적되는 미량 중금속 농도의 경우 탁도가 매우 높은 1,000 NTU에서는 대조실험군 어류에 비해 중금속의 함량이 급격히 증가되는 경향을 보이고 있다. 이러한 결과로 보아 장기간 고탁도가 유지된다면 아가미와 신장 조직은 비정상적인 형태로 변형되고 중금속은 체내에 급격히 축적됨으로 치명적인 유해 작용을 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
