The adsorption characteristics of methyl iodide generated from the simulated off-gas stream on various adsorbents such as silver ion-exchanged zeolite (AgX), zeocarbon and activated carbon were investigated. An extensive evaluation was made on the optimal silver ion-exchanged level for the effective removal of methyl iodide at temperature up to 38$0^{\circ}C$. The degree of adsorption efficiency of methyl iodide on silver ion-exchanged zeolite is strongly dependent of silver ion-amount and process temperature. The influence of temperature, methyl iodide concentration and silver ion-exchanged level on the adsorption efficiency is closely related to the pore characteristics of adsorbents. It would be facts that the effective silver ion-exchanged level was about 10 wt%, based on the degree of silver utilization for the removal of methyl iodide.

A water treatment agent with antimicrobial activity(Ag-Os) was created by exchanging silver ion($Ag^{+}$) on calcined oyster shell powder. The desorption of the exchanged silver ion was negligible, thereby indicating a stable antimicrobial water treatment agent. The sterilization effect of Ag-Os on underwater microorganisms was then investigated. An MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) test result indicated that Ag-Os had an excellent sterilization effect on G-germs, such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Most germs were annihilated with an Ag-Os concentration of 200 ppm and contact time of 60 minutes. The sterilization effect was mainly dependent on the contact time. The zeta potential of the Ag-Os powder adsorbed on sand was measured relative to the concentration of exchanged silver ion. As the concentration of the exchanged silver ion increased, the surface charge density of the anions on the surface of the Ag-Os powder adsorbed on sand also increased. Accordingly, this result indicated that a higher silver ion than ion exchange capacity was present on the particle surface due to adsorption. Consequently, this increased concentration of exchanged silver ion would appear to significantly enhance the sterilization power.

The effect of silver ion solution on the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa UTEX 2388 (cyanobacterium) and Chlorella sp. KCTC AG20136 (green alga) was investigated using separated and mixed culture in filtered natural water and BG11 medium. In separated culture, M. aeruginosa UTEX 2388 and Chlorella sp. KCTC AG20136 were found to be sensitive to 0.01 and 0.1 mg L$^{-1}$ of silver ion, respectively. Also, the silver ion concentrations for the growth inhibition of M. aeruginosa UTEX 2388 and Chlorella sp. KCTC AG20136 in the mixed culture were same in separated culture. Cyanobacteria were more sensitive to the silver ion solution than green algae. In bloom sample, the minimal inhibition concentration of silver ion solution for the low Chl-${\alpha}$ sample (110$\sim$190 ${\mu}g$ L$^{-1}$) and high Chl-${\alpha}$ sample (1,500$\sim$1,900 ${\mu}g$ L$^{-1}$) was about 0.1 and 3.0 mg L$^{-1}$, respectively. The silver ion concentration for the inhibition of algal bloom sample was affected by the algal biomass. In order to use silver ion solution for the control of algal bloom, the silver ion concentration must be determined in consideration of a minimal effect on the environment.

The objective of this study was to evaluate bacteria removal ability of the metallic silver which was baked silver ion impregnated ceramic filter at heating condition. Silver leaking from baked ceramic filter was tested to sustain bacteria removal for a long time. Silver impregnated ceramic filter could remove E. coli completely at $10^{12}$ MPN/100ml to $10^{13}$ MPN/100ml of influent. However, ceramic filter without silver did not remove E. coli completely under the same condition. After baking, the silver impregnated ceramic filter almost didn't leak out the silver ion from filter. Photo of TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) showed that absorbed silver ions remained in ceramic filter after baking process and most of silver were less than 10 nm. According to the increase in the amount of silver in the ceramic filter, removal efficiencies of E. coli were increased but turbidity removal was decreased. It can be accounted that increased removal efficiency of E. coli was from disinfection of silver that is in the ceramic filter. Simulated concentrations of bacteria agree well with the observed experimental effluent concentration data. Moreover, first-order decay coefficients increased to 0.0034/min after silver was added in the ceramic filter. Increase of first-order decay coefficient proves that silver-added ceramic filter can remove bacteria easily.

식중독 미생물 Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028, Staphylococcus aureus KCTC 2199, Vibrio parahaemolyticus ATCC 17802에 대한 은 이온의 항균력을 PAper Disk 방법과 액체 배양법에서 조사하였다. S. typhimurium와 V. parahaemolyticus의 경우 각각 2,10ppm의 은 이온 농도에서 생육저해환이 발견되었으며 농도가 증가함에 따라 생육 저해의 정도가 증가하였다. 그러나 S.aureus는 20 ppm의 은 이온 농도에서도 생육 저해환이 관찰되지 않았다. 액체 배양에서 은 이온의 항균 능력은 S. typhimurium, V.parahaemolyticus, S.aureus에 대해서 각각 03 ppm, 0.5 ppm, 5 ppm 이상에서 관찰되었고, 은 이온의 농도가 증가함에 따라 생육 저해는 크게 나타났다.

The development of flexible transparent electrode has been paid attention for flexible electronics. In this study, we have developed transparent electrode based on silver nanowires with improved electrical property and stability through ion-beam treatment. The energetic particles of ion-beam could sinter junctions of each silver nanowires and etch out polyvinylpyrollidone(PVP) coated on silver nanowires. The sheet resistance of silver nanowire transparent electrode was reduced by 74%, and the resistance uniformity was increased about 3 times after exposure of ion beam. Moreover, the stability at $85^{\circ}C$ of temperature and 85% of relative humidity could be also improved.

최근 항균 성능이 뛰어나면서도 인체에 유해하지 않은 나노 사이즈 은 입자를 이용한 항균 제품 개발 및 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있음에 따라, 나노 사이즈의 은 입자를 보다 쉬운 방법으로 균일하게 제조하고, 그 특성을 평가하는데 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 은 이온의 광환원을 통해 나노 은 입자를 $15{\sim}20\;nm$ 크기로 균일하게 제조한 뒤, 나노 은 입자의 농도, pH, 온도가 변화함에 따른 항균 특성을 살펴보고 이를 정량적으로 평가, 은 이온의 항균 특성과 비교하였다. 또한 주사 전자 현미경과 투과 전자 현미경을 통하여 나노 은 입자의 미생물 불활성화 특성을 은 이온의 미생물 불활성화 특성과 비교하였다. 주요 결과로는 나노 은 입자의 항균 효과는 동일한 은 농도를 기준으로 하였을 때 은 이온의 항균 효과에 비하여 약 20배 정도 적은 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 나노 은 입자의 농도, 온도가 높을수록 항균 성능은 향상됨을 알 수 있었으며 이는 은 이온의 실험 결과와 일치한다. 그러나 나노 은 입자의 항균 성능은 높은 pH에서 향상된 반면, 은 이온의 경우 pH 변화에 따른 항균 성능 변화가 관찰되지 않았다. 나노 은 입자와 은 이온에 의해 불활성화된 미생물을 주사 전자 현미경과 투과 전자 현미경으로 관찰한 결과, 나노 은 입자는 미생물 세포막을 크게 손상시키는 반면, 은 이온은 그렇지 않았다. 은 이온의 경우 은 이온이 미생물 안으로 흡수되어 세포질막을 손상시켜 미생물을 불활성화 시키는 것으로 알 수 있었다.

To compare the effects of nanometer-sized silver ions and support materials (nano-silver coating material, NM-silver) and silver ions, we exposed zebrafish embryos to both types of nano-silver ions and compared the acute responses during embryogenesis. The amount of silver in the NM-silver (17.16%) was greater than that in the silver ion (4.56%). Both of these materials have different atomic compositions. The silver ion-exposed groups (10 and 20 ppt) showed lower survival rates than the NM-silver-exposed groups (10 and 20 ppt). NM-silver penetrated the skin and blood tube of zebrafish larvae as aggregated particles, whereas, silver ions penetrated the organelles, nucleus and yolk in a spread-out pattern. Micro-array analysis of RNA from zebrafish larvae (72 hours post-fertilization) that were treated with either NM-silver or silver ions, showed alteration in expression of the BMP, activin, TGF-$\beta$, and $GSK3{\beta}$ genes pathway. Additionally, $GSK3{\beta}$ gene pathway for apoptosis that was related with left-right asymmetry. Gene expression changes in the NM-silver or silver ions-treated zebrafish embryo led to phenotypic changes in the hatched larvae, reflecting increased apoptosis and incomplete formation of an axis.

목적: 이 실험의 목적은 장석계 도재에 항균성을 부여하기 위해 은을 다양한 농도로 첨가하였을 때, 은 첨가가 장석계 도재의 색조에 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위함이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 대조군은 은을 포함하지 않은 일반 장석계 도재를 이용하고, 은이 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%의 농도로 첨가된 장석계 도재를 4개의 실험군으로 하여 총 5개의 그룹을 이용하였고, 각 그룹당 각 5개씩 디스크 형태로 시편을 제작하였다. 각 시편은 색차계를 이용하여 L, a, b값을 2번씩 측정하였다. 각 값은 SPSS를 이용하여 일원분산 통계 분석을 시행하였다. 결과: 은의 함량이 높아짐에 따라 각 그룹간 L값은 거의 비슷하였고, a값은 점차 증가하고, b값은 점점 감소하는 양상을 보여주었다. 은의 함량이 높아짐에 따라 ${\Delta}E$ 값은 유의하게 증가하였다. 5% 은 이온이 함유된 도재와 10%의 은 이온이 함유된 도재는 ${\Delta}E$값이 3.7 이하였다. 결론: 장석계 도재에 은을 첨가하는 것은 도재의 색조에 영향을 준다. 하지만 10% 이하의 이온을 첨가한 장석계 도재는 임상적으로 받아들여질만 하다.
