  • The effects of microbial iron reduction and oxidation on the immobilization and mobilization of copper were investigated in a high concentration of sulfate with synthesized Fe(III) minerals and red earth soils rich in amorphous Fe (hydr)oxides. Batch microcosm experiments showed that red earth soil inoculated with subsurface sediments had a faster Fe(III) bioreduction rate than pure amorphous Fe(III) minerals and resulted in quicker immobilization of Cu in the aqueous fraction. Coinciding with the decrease of aqueous Cu, $SO_4{^{2-}}$ in the inoculated red earth soil decreased acutely after incubation. The shift in the microbial community composite in the inoculated soil was analyzed through denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. Results revealed the potential cooperative effect of microbial Fe(III) reduction and sulfate reduction on copper immobilization. After exposure to air for 144 h, more than 50% of the immobilized Cu was remobilized from the anaerobic matrices; aqueous sulfate increased significantly. Sequential extraction analysis demonstrated that the organic matter/sulfide-bound Cu increased by 52% after anaerobic incubation relative to the abiotic treatment but decreased by 32% after oxidation, indicating the generation and oxidation of Cu-sulfide coprecipitates in the inoculated red earth soil. These findings suggest that the immobilization of copper could be enhanced by mediating microbial Fe(III) reduction with sulfate reduction under anaerobic conditions. The findings have an important implication for bioremediation in Cu-contaminated and Fe-rich soils, especially in acid-mine-drainage-affected sites.

  • 점토 광물의 구조 내에 들어 있는 철의 산화수는 퇴적환경의 산화/환원 조건에 대한 정보를 제공하여 준다. 이러한 광물형성의 메커니즘을 밝히기 위해서는 고해상도를 가진 전자현미경을 이용한 나노 스케일 분석이 불가피하다. 투과전자현미경에 장착되어있는 전자에너지 손실분광 분석법(EELS)을 이용하여 정량적 철 산화수 분석을 논트로나이트 점토광물 구조 내 철의 환원으로 인한 K-논트로나이트의 형성의 예를 들어 설명하고자 한다. 철 산화/환원의 정량적 분석을 통하여 퇴적물의 위치에 따른 철 산화도 측정은 광물변화에 대한 연구를 용이하게 해준다. 따라서 본 논문은 전자에너지 손실분광의 분석방법 및 장점을 소개함을 목적으로 한다.

  • 본 연구에서는 황철석과 흑운모를 이용한 회분식반응조실험(batch reactor experiment)을 통하여 수용성 Cr(Ⅵ)의 제거 및 반응속도를 살펴보았으며 이에 따른 산화환원 반응기작을 고찰하였다. 황철석 실험군이 흑운모실험 군에 비해 산화환원반응속도가 100배정도 빨랐으며, pH 3의 실험군이 pH 4 실험군에 비해 Cr(III)으로의 환원반응속도가 빠르게 나타났다. 황철석 실험군에서 Cr(Ⅵ) 초기농도치 90%이상이 제거되는데 걸리는 시간은 pH가 4일때 4시간, pH가 3일 때 40분 이내였다. 반면에, 흑운모 실험군의 경우 pH가 3인 조건에서도 Cr(Ⅵ) 초기농도의 90%이상이 제거되는데 400시간 이상이 걸렸다. 모든 조건에서 Cr(III)치 농도는 초기에 증가하는 경향을 보이다가 일정시간이 지나면 안정한 농도로 고정되었다. 산성의 반응용액에서 Cr(Ⅵ)의 환원반응속도는 이 두 광물이 포함하고 있는 2가 철의 해리속도와 관련이 있음을 의미한다. pH 4의 조건인 실험군에서는 용액 내 Cr(Ⅵ)이 Cr(III)으로 환원되고 Fe(II)가 Fe(III)로 산화된 후, (Cr, Fe)(OH)$_3$$_{ (s)}$와 같은 침전물을 생성하여 상대적으로 용액내 Cr(III)과 Fe(III)농도가 낮은 것으로 여겨진다. pH 3의 실험군을 화학양론적 고찰하였으며, 흑운모의 실험에서는 수용성 Fe(II)의 감소된 양과 Cr(Ⅵ)의 환원된 양의 이론적인 몰비가 [3Fe(II) : 1Cr(Ⅵ)]임에도 그 몰 비가 약 1:1로서 1 mole의 Cr(Ⅵ)을 환원시키는데 Fe(II)이 적게 소비되었으며, 이는 광물에서 해리되는 Fe(II)에 의한 Cr(Ⅵ)의 환원뿐만 아니라 흑운모 구조 내 Fe(II)이 용액 내 Fe(III) 이온을 Fe(II) 이온으로 환원시키는 불균질산화환원반응이 발생하고 이 반응으로 생성된 Fe(II) 이온이 다시 Cr(Ⅵ)의 환원반응에 기여하였기 때문이다. 그러나 황철석 실험의 경우, 그 몰비가 약 2.90:1 로서 3에 가까우며, 이는 황철석의 빠른 산화를 통하여 급속한 Fe(II) 이온이 공급됨으로서 Cr(Ⅵ)의 환원반응이 이론적 화학양론의 반응 몰비에 부합한 결과를 보인 것으로 판단된다.

  • Structural changes of an iron phthalocyanine (FePC) monolayer induced by adsorption and externally applied potential on high area carbon surface have been investigated in situ by iron K-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) in 0.5 M $H_2S0_4.$ Fine structures shown in the X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) for microcrystalline FePC decreased upon adsorption and further diminished under electrochemical conditions. Fe(II)PC(-2) showed a 1s ${\rightarrow}$ 4p transition as poorly resolved shoulder to the main absorption edge rather than a distinct peak and a weak 1s ${\rightarrow}$ 3d transition. The absorption edge position measured at half maximum was shifted from 7121.8 eV for Fe(lI)PC(-2) to 7124.8 eV for $[Fe(III)PC(-2)]^+$ as well as the 1s ${\rightarrow}$ 3d pre-edge peak being slightly enhanced. However, essentially no absorption edge shift was observed by the 1-electron reduction of Fe(Il)PC(-2), indicating that the species formed is $[Fe(II)PC(-3)]^-$. Structural parameters were obtained by analyzing extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) oscillations with theoretical phases and amplitudes calculated from FEFF 6.01 using multiple-scattering theory. When applied to the powder FePC, the average iron-to-phthalocyanine nitrogen distance, d(Fe-$N_p$) and the coordination number were found to be 1.933 $\AA$ and 3.2, respectively, and these values are the same, within experimental error, as those reported ( $1.927\AA$ and 4). Virtually no structural changes were found upon adsorption except for the increased Debye-Wailer factor of $0.005\AA^2$ from $0.003\AA^2.$ Oxidation of Fe(II)PC(-2) to $[Fe(III)PC(-2)]^+$ yielded an increased d(Fe-Np) (1 $.98\AA)$ and Debye-Wailer factor $(0.005\AA^2).$ The formation of $[Fe(II)PC(-3)]^-$, however, produced a shorter d(Fe-$N_p$) of $1.91\AA$ the same as that of crystalline FePC within experimental error, and about the same DebyeWaller $factor(0.006\AA^2)$.

  • The carbon nanofibers (CNFs) used in this study were synthesized with an iron catalyst and ethylene as a carbon source. A concentration of 30 wt % iron(III) acetylacetonate was dissolved in resol type phenol resin and polyurethane foam was put into the solution. The sample was calendered after being cured at $80^{\circ}C$ in air for 24 h. Stabilization and carbonization of the resol type phenol resin and reduction of the $Fe^{3+}$ were completed in a high-temperature furnace by the following steps: 1) heating to $600^{\circ}C$ at a rate of $10^{\circ}C/min$ with a mixture of $H_2/N_2$ for 4 h to reduce the $Fe^{3+}$ to Fe; 2) heating to $1000^{\circ}C$ in $N_2$ at a rate $10^{\circ}C/min$ for 30 minutes for pyrolysis; 3) synthesizing CNFs in a mixture of 20.1% ethylene and $H_2/N_2$ at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 h using a CVD process. Finally, the structural characterization of the CNFs was performed by scanning electron microscopy and a synthesis analysis was carried out using energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Specific surface area analysis of the CNFs was also performed by $N_2$-sorption.

  • Investigations of the commercial aircraft impact effect on nuclear island infrastructures have been drawing extensive attention, and this paper aims to perform the safety assessment of Generation III nuclear power plant (NPP) buildings subjected to typical commercial aircrafts crash. At present Part I, finite element (FE) models establishment and validations for both the aircrafts and NPP buildings are performed. (i) Airbus A320 and A380 aircrafts are selected as the representative medium and large commercial aircrafts, and the corresponding fine FE models including the skin, beam, fuel and etc. are established. By comparing the numerically derived impact force time-histories with the existing published literatures, the rationality of aircrafts models is verified. (ii) Fine FE model of the Chinese Zhejiang Sanao NPP buildings is established, including the detailed structures and reinforcing arrangement of both the containment and auxiliary buildings. (iii) By numerically reproducing the existing 1/7.5 scaled aircraft model impact tests on steel plate reinforced concrete (SC) panels and assessing the impact process and velocity time-history of aircraft model, as well as the damage and the maximum deflection of SC panels, the applicability of the existing three concrete constitutive models (i.e., K&C, Winfrith and CSC) are evaluated and the superiority of Winfrith model for SC panels under deformable missile impact is verified. The present work can provide beneficial reference for the integral aircraft crash analyses and structural damage assessment in the following two parts of this paper.

  • The $[Fe_4S_4]^{2+}$ clusters with 2-, 3-, and 4-pyridinemethanethiolate (S2-Pic, S3-Pic, and S4-Pic, respectively) terminal ligands have been synthesized from the ligand substitution reaction of the $(^nBu_4N)_2[Fe_4S_4Cl_4]$ (I) cluster. The new $(^nBu_4N)_2[Fe_4S_4(SR)_4]$ (R = 2-Pic; II, 3-Pic; III, 4-Pic; IV) clusters were characterized by FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Cluster II was crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 24.530 (5) $\AA$, b = 24.636(4) $\AA$, c = 21.762(4) $\AA$, ${\beta}=103.253(3)^{\circ}$, and Z = 8. The X-ray structure of II showed two unique 2:2 site-differentiated $[Fe_4S_4]^{2+}$ clusters due to the bidentate-mode coordination by 2-pyridinemethanethiolate ligands. Cluster III was crystallized in the same monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 26.0740(18) $\AA$, b = 23.3195(16) $\AA$, c = 22.3720(15) $\AA$, ${\beta}=100.467(2)^{\circ}$, and Z = 8. The 3-pyridinemethanethiolate ligand of III was coordinated to the $[Fe_4S_4]^{2+}$ core as a terminal mode. Cluster IV with 4-pyridinemethanethiolate ligands was found to have a similar structure to the cluster III. Fully reversible $[Fe_4S_4]^{2+}/[Fe_4S_4]^+$ redox waves were observed from all three clusters by cyclic voltammetry measurement. The electrochemical potentials for the $[Fe_4S_4]^{2+}/[Fe_4S_4]^+$ transition decreased in the order of II, III and IV, and the reduction potential changes by the ligands were explained based on the structural differences among the complexes. The complex III was reacted with sulfonium salt of $[PhMeSCH_2-p-C_6H_4CN](BF_4)$ in MeCN to test possible radical-involving reaction as a functional model of the [$Fe_4S_4$]-SAM (S-adenosylmethionine) cofactor. However, the isolated reaction products of 3-pyridinemethanethiolate-p-cyanobenzylsulfide and thioanisole suggested that the reaction followed an ionic mechanism and the products formed from the terminal ligand attack to the sulfonium.

  • 스멕타이트-일라이트 (SI)의 전이 반응은 쇄설성 퇴적암 지역에 흔히 볼 수 있는 광물 반응이다. 지난 40여년 동안 SI 전이 반응의 중요성에 대한 논문들이 많이 출간되었는데 이는 스멕타이트가 일라이트로 변하는 정도 즉 "illitization" 이 석유의 개발, 퇴적물의 화학적 변화 및 물리적 성질변화 에 많은 연계성이 있기 때문이다. 기존의 S-I 상전이에 대한 메커니즘 연구에서는 layer-by-layer reaction 에 의한 solid state 반응 혹은 dissolution/precipitation 반응으로 집약되지만 박테리아 반응의 역할을 전혀 고려하지 않았다. 무산소 환경에서 박테리아와 점토광물의 반응에 대한 연구, 특히 스멕타이트와 철 환원 박테리아의 반응 작용에 대한 연구에서는 철 환원 박테리아가 스멕타이트 구조 속에 있는 철을 환원시켜 에너지를 얻는다고 밝혀졌다. 최근 발표된 논문들은 미생물의 철 환원 작용에 의하여 S-I 상전이가 일어날 수 있다고 보고되었는데, 이는 기존의 상전이에 대한 개념에 즉 고온, 고압, 오랜 시간이 S-I 전이의 필수 조건이라는 일반적인 해석에 반하는 것으로 새로운 연구 분야의 가능성을 시사하고 있다. 현재까지 발표된 논문에 의하면 박테리아가 S-I 반응을 촉진지킴으로 고온, 고압, 혹은 상당시간의 속성작용이 전제조건으로 작용하지 않을 수 있다는 가능성을 시사한다. 하지만 박테리아가 철을 환원함과 동시에 스멕타이트를 일라이트로 전이시킴에 있어서의 메커니즘에 대한 이해는 아직 미비하다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 현재까지 밝혀진 SI 반응을 살펴보고, 미생물 광물간의 반응작용에 있어서 연구 방법을 소개함을 목적으로 한다.

  • Investigations of the commercial aircraft impact effect on nuclear island infrastructures have been drawing extensive attention, and this paper aims to perform the safety assessment of Generation III nuclear power plant (NPP) buildings subjected to typical commercial aircrafts crash. At present Part II, based on the verified finite element (FE) models of aircrafts Airbus A320 and A380, as well as the NPP containment and auxiliary buildings in Part I of this paper, the whole collision process is reproduced numerically by adopting the coupled missile-target interaction approach with the finite element code LS-DYNA. The impact induced damage of NPP plant under four impact locations of containment (cylinder, air intake, conical roof and PCS water tank) and two impact locations of auxiliary buildings (exterior wall and roof of spent fuel pool room) are evaluated. Furthermore, by considering the inner structures in the containment and raft foundation of NPP, the structural vibration analyses are conducted under two impact locations (middle height of cylinder, main control room in the auxiliary buildings). It indicates that, within the discussed scenarios, NPP structures can withstand the impact of both two aircrafts, while the functionality of internal equipment on higher floors will be affected to some extent under impact induced vibrations, and A380 aircraft will cause more serious structural damage and vibrations than A320 aircraft. The present work can provide helpful references to assess the safety of the structures and inner equipment of NPP plant under commercial aircraft impact.
