Oxidative degradation of phenol, three monochlorophenols (2-chlorophenol, 2-CP; 3-chlorophenol, 3-CP; 4-chlorophenol, 4-CP), four dichlorophenols (2,3-dichlorophenol, 2,3-DCP; 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4-DCP; 2,5-dichlorophenol, 2,5-DCP; 2,6-dichlorophenol, 2,6-DCP), and two trichlorophenols (2,4,5-trichlorophenol, 2,4,5-TCP; 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, 2,4,6-TCP) was conducted with heat activated persulfate. As the number of chlorinations increased, the reaction rate also increased. The reaction rate was relatively well fitted to the zero-order kinetic model, rather than the pseudo-first order kinetic model for the reactions at 60℃, which can be explained by insufficient activation of the persulfate at 60℃, and the oxidation reaction of 2,4,6-TCP at 70℃ was relatively well fitted to the pseudo-first order kinetic model. The oxidation reaction rate generally increased with increase of persulfate concentration in the solution. 2,6-dichloro-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione was found as a degradation product in a GC/MS analysis. This compound is a non-aromatic compound, and one chlorine was removed. This result is similar to the result of previous studies. The current study proved that heat activated persulfate activation could be an alternative remediation technology for phenol and chlorophenols in soil and groundwater.

산업화와 경제 발전에 따라 생산량, 사용량, 보관량, 운반량이 늘어난 산 물질들의 누출 사고가 빈발하고 있다. 지중 환경으로 유입된 누출 산은 지질매체와의 반응에 의해 궁극적으로 중화될 것으로 예상된다. 하지만 누출 산이 영향을 주는 공간적 및 시간적 범위는 산에 노출된 지질매체의 특성에 따라 달라질 것으로 예측된다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 가장 사용량이 많은 황산을 한국의 지질을 대표할 수 있는 모델 지질매체들과 반응시켰다. 용액의 pH 변화를 지시자로 회분식 실험을 통해 모델 지질매체들의 산 완충능을 평가하였다. 그리고 산 중화에 기여하는 광물성분을 X-선회절분석을 통해 확인하였다. 실험 결과는 평가한 지질매체 중 사암이 가장 큰 중화능을 가졌으며, 캐올리나이트가 가장 낮은 중화능을 가졌음을 보여준다. 이 연구 결과는 지질매체에 대한 누출 산의 영향을 정량화하고 따라서 누출 산에 대한 지질매체들의 취약성을 예측하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

This research provides an analysis of experiments on sulfuric acid resistance of alkali-activated slag mortar with dolomite powder. The results show that the longer the bedding time, the lower the mass change in all specimens. Among them, the mass change in a dolomite replaced specimens are shown to be less than that of a non-dolomite specimens. Since the composition of dolomite reacts with sulfuric acid solution to produce a product, it is thought to play a role in reducing mass reduction.

This study investigates the changes in ammonia fluxes, pH and total nitrogen of liquid ferrous sulfate-treated litter over 5 weeks. A total of 200 broiler chicks (Arbor Acres, 1 d old) was separated into two treatment groups (0 g and 100 g liquid ferrous sulfate/kg litter) with four replications of 25 birds in each group. Liquid ferrous sulfate was sprayed on the litter by using a small sprayer. There was no difference (p>0.05) in the ammonia fluxes observed between the control and liquid ferrous sulfate treatment groups at 0, 1, and 5 weeks, except for 2, 3 and 4 weeks. At 5 weeks, the litter pH and total nitrogen content did not show any difference (p>0.05) between the control and liquid ferrous sulfate treatment groups. In conclusion, the use of liquid ferrous sulfate is not a suitable for use in poultry litter to reduce ammonia and pH or improve the total nitrogen content.

There is growing concern over the effects of global warning. In response, the power generation sector must consider a wider range of systems and fuels to generate power. One of the classes of solid fuels that is being increasingly developed is biomass. However, one of the most serious problems that biomass plants face is severe corrosion. To mitigate the problem, various approaches have been proposed in terms of additive utilization. This study is based on the results obtained during the co-combustion of wood chip and waste wood in a circulating fluidized bed boiler (CFBC boiler). The KCl concentration was reduced from 59.9 ppm to 3.9 ppm during the injection of ammonium sulfate, and NOx was reduced by 25.5 ppm from 30.6 ppm to 5.1 ppm. However, SOx increased by 110.2 ppm from 33.2 ppm to 143.4 ppm, and HCl increased by 71.5 ppm from 340.5 ppm to 412.0 ppm. Thus, we confirmed that the attitude of the superheater tube was reduced by 87 ~ 93%, and the injection of ammonium sulfate was effective in preventing high-temperature corrosion.

Biomass-fired power plants produce electricity and heat by burning biomass in a boiler. However, one of the most serious problems faced by these plants is severe corrosion. In biomass boilers, corrosion comes from burnt fuels containing alkali, chlorine, and other corrosive substances, causing boiler tube failures, leakages, and shorter lifetimes. To mitigate the problem, various approaches implying the use of additives have been proposed; for example, ammonium sulfate is added to convert the alkali chlorides (mainly KCl) into the less corrosive alkali sulfates. Among these approaches, the high temperature corrosion prevention technology based on ammonium sulfate has few power plants being applied to domestic power plants. This study presents the results obtained during the co-combustion of wood chips and waste in a circulating fluidized bed boiler. The aim was to investigate the characteristics of pollution load in domestic biomass power plants with ammonium sulfate injection. By injecting the ammonium sulfate, the KCl content decreased from 68.9 to 5 ppm and the NOx were reduced by 18.5 ppm, but SO2 and HCl were increased by 93.3 and 68 ppm, respectively.

In this study, the resistance of chloride penetration and sulfate attack of mortar substituted heavyweight waste glass were evaluated. As a result, chloride penetration depth and diffusion coefficient decreased with the substitution of waste glass, chloride penetration resistance is increased. For sulfate attack resistance, the effect of heavyweight waste glass was little.

Background : Zinc (Zn) is one of dietary micronutrients and it is second highest trace element in the body. Over 95% of Zn is located in the cells, but its dominant storage site is absent in the body. Deficiency of Zn may result in anorexia, dysgeusia, dysosmia, skin rash, infection, alopecia, growth failure, and impaired wound healing. Therefore, adequate supplementation of Zn is very important to maintain normal physiological conditions. Methods and Results : Zinc sulfate monohydrate (ZnSO4)-loaded nanocomposites (NCs) were fabricated by using a hot-melt extruder (HME) system. Soluplus (SP) was adopted as an amphiphilic polymer matrix for HME processing. The micro-size of ZnSO4 dispersion was reduced to nano-size by HME processing with the use of SP. ZnSO4 could be homogeneously dispersed in SP through HME processing. ZnSO4/SP NCs with a 75 ㎚ mean diameter, a 0.1 polydispersity index, and a -1 mV zeta potential value were prepared. The physicochemical properties of ZnSO4/SP NCs and the existence of SP in ZnSO4/SP NCs were further investigated by solid-state studies. Nano-size range of ZnSO4/SP NC dispersion was maintained in the simulated gastrointestinal environments (pH 1.2 and 6.8 media). No severe toxicity in intestinal epithelium after oral administration of ZnSO4/SP NCs (at 100 ㎎/㎏ dose of ZnSO4, single dosing) was observed in rats. Conclusion : These results imply that developed ZnSO4/SP NC can be used as a promising nano-sized zinc supplement formulation. In addition, developed HME technology can be widely applied to fabricate nano formulations of inorganic materials.

A continuous process of persulfate oxidation and citric acid washing was investigated for ex-situ remediation of complex contaminated soil containing total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPHs) and heavy metals (Cu, Pb, and Zn). The batch experiment results showed that TRPHs could be degraded by Fe2+ activated persulfate oxidation and that heavy metals could be removed by washing with citric acid. For efficient remediation of the complex contaminated soil, two-stage and three-stage processes were evaluated. Removal efficiency of the two-stage process (persulfate oxidation - citric acid washing) was 83% for TRPHs and 49%, 53%, 24% for Cu, Zn, and Pb, respectively. To improve the removal efficiency, a three-stage process was also tested; case A) water washing - persulfate oxidation - citirc acid washing and case B) persulfate oxidation - citric acid washing (1) - citric acid washing (2). In case A, 63% of TRPHs, 73% of Cu, 60% of Zn, and 55% of Pb were removed, while the removal efficiencies of TRPHs, Cu, Pb, and Zn were 24%, 68%, 62%, and 59% in case B, respectively. The results indicated that case A was better than case B. The three-stage process was more effective than the two-stage process for the remediation of complex-contaminated soil in therms of overall removal efficiency.

Oxidative degradation of chlorinated ethenes was carried out using heat-activated persulfate. The activation rate of persulfate was dependent on the temperature and the activation reaction rate could be explained based on the Arrhenius equation. The activation energy of persulfate was 19.3 kcal/mol under the assumption that the reaction between the sulfate radical and tricholoroethene (TCE) is very fast. Activation could be achieved at a moderate temperature, so that the adverse effects due to high temperature in the soil environment were mitigated. The reaction rate of TCE was directly proportional to the concentration of persulfate, indicating that the remediation rate can be controlled by the concentration of the injected persulfate. The solution was acidized after the oxidation, and this was dependent on the oxidation temperature. The consumption rate of persulfate was high in the presence of the target organic, but the self-decomposition rate became very low as the target was completely removed.

This paper investigates the strength properties of ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBFS) with magnesium sulfate(MgSO4). GGBFS was replaced with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5% MgSO4 by weight. Mixtures of sodium hydroxide(NaOH) and sodium silicate(Na2SiO3) were used as the alkaline activator; a mixture of 5% NaOH and 5% Na2SiO3, and a mixture of 10% NaOH and 10% Na2SiO3 by slag weight. The added activators were dissolved in the water, and the weight ratio of water to slag was 0.45. This study was performed using compressive strength testing, ultrasonic pulse velocity(UPV), water absorption and X-ray diffraction(XRD). In this study, the strength of hardened samples decreases with increasing MgSO4 content. In addition, the water absorption of samples increases and UPV decreases, with the increase of MgSO4 content. Brucite, gypsum and M-S-H(magnesium silicate hydrate) are present in the XRD patterns of the hardened samples.

Recently, self-healing concrete has been researched as maintenance and repair of concrete structures are important challenges we face. This paper focused on possibility of ion exchange resin as a novelty material directly and actively controlling harmful ions of concrete, whereas most self-healing concrete researches have been focused on methods to automatically filling and repairing internal crack of concrete. Because equilibrium properties between ion exchange resin and harmful ion is important before design of cement mixing proportion, it was conducted to remove chloride or sulfate in saturated Ca(OH)2 solutions containing NaCl or Na2SO4. The removal performance was analyzed using kinetic equation and isothermal equation. Consequently, the removal properties of anion exchange resin were relatively more dependent on pseudo second reaction equation and Langmuir equation than pseudo first reaction equation and Freundlich equation. And it was concluded that each chloride and sulfate can be removed to the maximum 1068 ppm and 1314 ppm.

본 연구는 플라이애시 및 고로슬래그 미분말을 활용하여 알칼리 활성화 결합재로 제조된 모르타르 및 페이스트 샘플의 황산염 저 항성을 평가하고 황산염 침투에 대한 고저항성 결합재를 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 플라이애시 및 고로슬래그미분말 등의 광물질 혼화재 를 결합재로 활용하여 고로슬래그미분말 치환율을 30, 50 및 100%로 제작하였다. 규산나트륨 모듈 Ms[SiO2/Na2O]은 1.0, 1.5 및 2.0으로 조정 하였으며, 10% 황산나트륨, 10% 황산마그네슘, 10% 질산마그네슘 및 5% 질산마그네슘+5% 황산나트륨 용액에 각각 침지시키고, 황산염 저 항성을 평가하기 위하여 압축강도, 질량변화율, 길이변화율 및 X선 회절분석을 측정하였다. 그 결과 10% 황산나트륨, 10% 질산마그네슘 및 5% 질산마그네슘+5% 황산나트륨에 침지한 경우에는 모든 시험조건에서 장기적인 강도발현과 질량 및 길이변화율이 작아 저항성이 우수한 것으로 나타났으나, 10% 황산마그네슘에 침지한 경우에는 장기적인 강도저하와 질량 및 길이변화가 크게 나타났으며, 그 경향은 고로슬래그 미분말 치환량 및 Ms비가 증가할수록 현저하였다. 이것은, X선 회절분석 결과 황산마그네슘 용액 침지에서는 gypsum(CaSO4 ․ 2H2O) 및 brucite(MgOH)생성되어 내부조직이 팽창하는 것에 의한 것으로 확인되었다. 결론적으로 일정 농도의 SO4 2-이 존재하는 조건에서 Mg2+가 추 가로 존재할 경우 열화현상은 가속화되는 것을 알 수 있다.

Sulfate produced during anaerobic reduction limits the activity of methanogens but it is not reflected in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) methodology for estimating CH4 emissions. In this study, CH4 emissions from the Sudokwon landfill site were estimated by adopting a methane correction factor, which was determined through the relationship between the COD/sulfate ratio and CH4 generation. Although the gas originating from the Sudokwon landfill site has not produced any environmental problems in recent years due to gas collection and soil cover maintenance activities, CH4 emissions estimated by the IPCC methodology indicated that only 60% of the CH4 was recovered and the remainder was emitted into the atmosphere, suggesting a potential environmental problem. Accordingly, CH4 estimates determined according to IPCC methodology must be modified by adopting the methane correction factor and considering the effect of sulfate concentration.
