Time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) and excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy were used to study the interaction of U(VI) and natural organic matters (NOMs) in groundwater. Various types of groundwaters (DB-1, DB-3 from KURT site and OB-1, OB-3 from a U deposit in Ogcheon metamorphic belt) were used as samples. Pulsed Nd-YAG laser at 266 nm (Continuum Minilite) was used as the light source of TRLFS. The laser pulse energy of 1.0 mJ was fixed for all measurements. The luminescence spectrum was recorded using a gated intensified chargecoupled device (Andor, DH-720/18U03 iStar 720D) attached to the spectrograph (Andor, SR-303i). EEM spectra were measured using a spectrofluorometer (Horiba Scientific, Aqualog) equipped with a 150 W ozone-free xenon arc lamp. Excitation spectra were recorded by scanning the excitation wavelength from 200 to 500 nm. Emission spectra were measured using a CCD in the wavelength range of 242–823 nm. In the case of the recently collected DB-1 samples, it was observed that the U and NOM quantities decreased compared to the samples collected before 2016. For some DB-1 samples, the amount of dissolved organic carbon indicating the presence of NOM was significantly reduced, and changes consistent with this phenomenon were observed in the EEM spectrum. The time-resolved luminescence characteristics (peak wavelengths and lifetime) of U(VI) in the DB-1 samples agree well with those of Ca2UO2(CO3)3(aq). This U(VI) species remains stable, even in samples taken five years ago. The estimated amounts of U and NOM from the spectroscopic data of DB-3, OB-1, and OB-3 samples are relatively low compared to DB-1 samples. When a known amount of U(VI) was mixed in each groundwater, the time-resolved luminescence spectrum exhibited a characteristic spectral shape different from the expected luminescence intensity. This phenomenon is presumed to be due to the interaction between U(VI) and NOM in groundwater. The results of this study suggest that the chemical speciation of NOM as well as U(VI) is required to understand U behavior in groundwater.

최근 비풀러렌 전자수용체 소재 개발로 태양전지 및 광검출기 등 유기광다이오드 분야의 상당한 진보를 나타내고 있 다. 비풀러렌 소재의 자유로운 구조 개질 가능성을 바탕으로 흡광대역 자유 제어가 가능한 장점으로, 기존 태양전지 에서 구현이 힘들었던 고성능 반투명 태양전지, 실내 저조도 태양전지, 파장선택적 광검출기 등 다양한 응용을 가능 하게 한다. 본 리뷰에서는 유기태양전지를 비롯한 유기광다이오드의 광활성층에 활용되는 유기반도체 소재의 최신 연 구동향에 대해 다루고자 한다.

본 연구는 극지 식물플랑크톤의 자외선 영향을 파악하기 위해, Phaeocystis antarctica와 Phaeocystis pouchetii를 대상으로 유색 용존 유기물의 생산과 광반응성을 평가하였다. 강한 자외선에 노출 배양 시, 가시광선 파장대에서 유색 용존 유기물의 흡광도는 두 식물플랑크 톤 모두 배양 초기에 비해 48시간 동안 감소하였다. 반면, 자외선 파장에서는 P. antarctica는 48시간 배양 후, 유색 용존 유기물의 흡광도는 초기 농도에 비해 약 30% 감소하였지만, P. pouchetii의 흡광도는 오히려 10% 증가한 경향을 보였다. 이 결과들은 강한 자외선에 노출될 경 우, P. antarctica이 생산한 유색 용존 유기물은 광분해에 의한 감소로 인해 해수 중 수중 생태계에 자외선 차단 효과는 감소하는 반면, P. pouchetii가 생산한 유색 용존 유기물에 의한 광보호 효과가 더 효율적임을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 자외선 영향 하에서 배양된 P. pouchetii의 배 양액에서 시간에 따라 증가한 유색 용존 유기물의 형광 특성이 지구 거대물질로 알려진 humic-like (C-peak)와 일치하여, 이는 자외선 차단 물질로 알려진 MAAs 생물 생산에 의한 것임을 확인하였다. 이는 기후변화에 의한 성층화가 강화되는 극지 해양환경에서, 광반응성이 낮은 P. pouchetti가 용존 유기물의 증가에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The team has studied the relationship between the ability of the coals to be dissolved in crude anthracene oil and their composition. The coal samples taken from different deposits in Russia and Mongolia were characterized by different stages of metamorphism and tested by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance. The data of a correlation analysis enabled us to find out that an amount of aromatic structures in coal macromolecules provided the main influence on the thermal dissolution of the coals. The middle-rank coals had the highest rates of coal organic matter transfer to liquid products. The data showed that the dissolution process was accompanied by destruction of weak bonds among aliphatic groups. The amount of methylene groups in the aliphatic part of coal macromolecules had a direct impact on conversion of the coal organic matter into soluble products.

The hybridization of graphene with magnetic nanoparticles has endowed graphene with increasing interest as the adsorbent for wastewater treatment. However, its fabrication often involves a multi-stepped chemical synthesis process. In this work, we demonstrate a facile, one-step, and solvent-free approach to fabricate Fe3O4 nanoparticle-anchored Laser-Induced Graphene ( Fe3O4@LIG) as an efficient adsorbent by direct laser irradiation on a ferric acetylacetonate containing polybenzoxazine film. Raman and X-ray diffraction analysis confirm the graphene component in the adsorbent, and the morphology characterizations show that Fe3O4 nanoparticles are distributed uniformly on LIG with hierarchical meso- and macro-porous structures. Adsorption experiments indicate that Fe3O4@ LIG can adsorb methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions in a fast and effective manner, with a maximum adsorption capacity up to 350.9 mg/g. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms are also investigated, which are well-described by the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model, respectively. Additionally, Fe3O4@ LIG is also demonstrated with the efficient removal of a variety of organic solvents from water. The favorable adsorption behavior of Fe3O4@ LIG is attributed to its unique porous structure and the molecular interactions with adsorbates. On the other hand, Fe3O4@ LIG has high magnetic property, and therefore, it could be easily recovered from water and well regenerated for repeated use. With the efficient adsorption of organic pollutants, magnetic separability, and good

We investigated physicochemical properties and isotopic compositions of organic matter (δ13CTOC and δ15NTN) in the old fish farming (OFF) site after the cessation of aquaculture farming. Based on this approach, our objective is to determine the organic matter origin and their relative contributions preserved at sediments of fish farming. Temporal and spatial distribution of particulate and sinking organic matter (OFF sites: 2.0 to 3.3 mg L-1 for particulate matter concentration, 18.8 to 246.6 g m-2 day-1 for sinking organic matter rate, control sites: 2.0 to 3.5 mg L-1 for particulate matter concentration, 25.5 to 129.4 g m-2 day-1 for sinking organic matter rate) between both sites showed significant difference along seasonal precipitations. In contrast to variations of δ13CTOC and δ15NTN values at water columns, these isotopic compositions (OFF sites: -21.5‰ to - 20.4‰ for δ13CTOC, 6.0‰ to 7.6‰ for δ15NTN, control sites: - 21.6‰ to - 21.0‰ for δ13CTOC, 6.6‰ to 8.0‰ for δ15NTN) investigated at sediments have distinctive isotopic patterns (p<0.05) for seawater-derived nitrogen sources, indicating the increased input of aquaculture-derived sources (e.g., fish fecal). With respect to past fish farming activities, representative sources (e.g., fish fecal and algae) between both sites showed significant difference (p<0.05), confirming predominant contribution (55.9±4.6%) of fish fecal within OFF sites. Thus, our results may determine specific controlling factor for sustainable use of fish farming sites by estimating the discriminative contributions of organic matter between both sites.

본 논문에서는 반도체 특성의 단일벽 탄소나노튜브(semi-SWNTs)와 페로브스카이트(perovskite) 양자 점을 혼합하여 SWNT의 높은 전하 이동 특성과 양자점의 고효율 광전 특성을 동시에 가지는 용액공정 가 능한 기반 고성능 광센서를 개발하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 직경이 작은 SWNT를 공액 구조 고분자 반도체를 이용해 선택적으로 분리/분산하는 방법으로 제조하여 포토트랜지스터의 반도체 채널 층으로 활 용하고, 가시광 빛에 높은 흡광도를 가지는 양자점을 다양한 조성과 구조를 가지는 광활성층으로 제조하 여 그 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 이 결과 semi-SWNTs와 페로브스카이트 양자점 모두 단독으로 TFT에 사 용하였을 경우 우수한 트랜지스터 특성과는 별개로 광전효과가 크게 나타나지 않았으며, 두 종류 이상의 반도체 소재를 융합하여 사용할 경우 양자점에 흡수된 빛에 의해 엑시톤이 형성되고 이종 접합 계면에서 전자와 정공의 분리가 쉽게 이루어지도록 유도함으로써 낮은 광량에서도 높은 효율을 가지는 포토트랜지 스터를 개발할 수 있었다. 향후 지속적인 연구개발을 통해 고유연/저가 광 센서 제품 개발과 레이더, 이미 지 센서, 웨어러블 헬스케어 등의 다양한 분야에 하이브리드 반도체 포토트랜지스터가 응용될 수 있을 것 으로 기대한다.

고려엉겅퀴(Cirsium setidens Nakai)는 여러해살이 초본식물로서 식용이 가능하며 곤드레라고 부르기도 한다. 최근 고려엉겅퀴에 여뀌못 털진딧물(Capitophorus elaeagni, Del Guercio)의 발생이 확인되어 재배농가의 피해가 예상되고 있다. 이에 대한 친환경적인 방제방법 구명을 위 해 시판 유기농업자재를 이용하여 고려엉겅퀴 식물체에 발생한 여뀌못털진딧물에 대한 방제효과를 검정한 결과 pyrethrins+paraffinic oils 이 98% 수준의 방제가를 보여주었으며 pyrethrins+matrine+pyroligneous 가 약 95%의 방제가를, azadirachtin+rotenone 성분이 75% 이상의 방제효과를 보여주었다. 이중 pyrethrins 성분이 가장 좋은 효과를 주는 것으로 여겨지며 유기농업자재 살포로 인한 약해는 발생하지 않았다.

Organic reagent is considered as one of the most promising reductants for deeply removing vanadium (V) trichloride oxide ( VOCl3) from crude titanium tetrachloride ( TiCl4). Nevertheless, indeterminate active component and unclearly removal mechanisms appear to be the obstacles to separate VOCl3 from TiCl4 using organic reagent. Herein we conduct the experiment to explore it. Firstly, the organic reagents are obtained from enterprise (noted as EOR1– EOR7), and then it is determined that carbon aromatic ( CA) is the active component for removing VOCl3. Furthermore, modified organic reagents (noted as MOR1– MOR4) are prepared via adding aromatic hydrocarbon oil and stearic acid to EOR7, then indicating that MOR3 is endowed with the best capacity to remove VOCl3. In addition, the residues obtained from distillation experiment are comprehensively analyzed (using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) etc.), revealing that porous amorphous carbon that deriving from MOR, plays an excellent role in removing VOCl3 from TiCl4 system. Therefore, the removal mechanisms can be explained like that porous amorphous carbon reduces VOCl3 into insoluble vanadium (III) chloride ( VCl3) and vanadium (IV) oxide dichloride ( VOCl2), and then they are separated via adsorption process, with the help of porous amorphous carbon.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the organic forms, expressions, and characteristics of Alexander McQueen’s fashion design and to present various materials for understanding and utilizing this organic design style. The criteria for organic design expressions and characteristics were classified through a literature review, and the organic design characteristics of Alexander McQueen’s fashion were then analyzed. The results are as follows: First, the morphological characteristics of nature’s forms are used as objects in Alexander McQueen’s fashions to represent organic characteristics. Second, abstraction through the application of organic forms means creating an abstract representation of the object being represented. Abstracting organic forms occurs by partially modifying the structural features of the human body to show characteristics or by visualizing these characteristics within the surface of the natural object. Third, continuity through the expression of the formation process of organisms is characteristic of the expression of the gradual growth of organisms; this reinterpretation is based on the concept that the internal elements of natural objects affect their external forms. Fourth, the structure of using natural materials, as well as regional and cultural characteristics, is shown in the designs through use of the physical characteristics of expressions and materials that use natural elements. Fifth, symbolism through subjective thinking implies that the element of nature that an object expresses is the element that appears in nature; this includes created organisms along with environmental factors. These characteristics are best demonstrated in fashion designs that express themselves through creativity.
