Ash ball 배지의 이화학적특성과 사용배지의 염류집적 및 제거효과를 펄라이트 및 입상암면과 비교하였다. ash ball의 가비중, 진비중, 공극율은 각각 0.93 g.cm-3, 2.29 g.cm-3, 40.6%, 59.4%로서 그중 가비중은 펄라이트 및 입상암면에 비해 현저히 높았고 가공율은 낮았다. 배지의 포화수분함량(saturation moisture capacity)은 ash ball이 52%, 펄라이트가 71%, 입상암면이 90%로 나타났고, 배수 1시간 후 수분율은 ahs ball이가 21%, 펄라이트가 27%, 입상암면이 80%로 낮아졌다. Ash ball의 입도별 수분율은 소립(3~5 mm)이 대립 (7~15mm)에 비해 5% 정도 높았다. Ash ball의 배드내 수분율은 수직 및 수평방향의 분포가 균일하여 수분확산성이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. ash ball의 pH는 7.6으로 약염기성을 나타내었다. 배지를 침지한 배양액의 pH는 7.6으로 약염기성을 나타내었다. 배지를 침지한 배양액의 pH는 다소 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 EC는 거의 변호가 없었으며, 배지내 무기이온의 흡착은 ash ball과 입상암면은 인산의 흡착이 비교적 많았다. 토마토 재배에 사용된 ash ball의 염류집적은 펄라이트와 비슷하였고 8회 정도의 침수처리로 배지표면에 흡착된 무기염을 대부분 제거할 수 있었다. 위의 결과로부터, ash ball 배지는 보수력은 다소 낮지만 통기성 및 수분확산성이 우수하여 배지내의 수분조절이 용이한 배지임을 알 수 있었다.

가압 경수형 원자로 (pressurized light water reactor) 냉각재 계통 내의 주된 분식 생성물로 알려져 있는 nickel ferrite의 거동에 대해 고찰하기 위해 모의 nickel ferrite(Ni0.75Fe2.25O4)를 공침법으로 제조하였다. 수용액-pH-조절로는 am-monia 또는 potassium carbonate를, 공침물-세척제는 ammonia 수용액이나 potassium carbonate 수용액 또는 2차 증류수를 사용하였다. Nickel ferrite의 생성 및 수용액-pH-조절제와 공치물-세척제가 최종 생성물의 Ni-Fe 몰 비에 따른 수율 및 특성에 미치는 영향은 EDX, XPS, XRD 및 SEM으로 고찰하였다. 반응 전.후 Ni/Fe 몰 비에 따른 수율은, pH를 potassium carbon-ate로 조절한 후 2차 증류수로 공침물을 세척한 경우가 0.994로 가장 높이 나왔으며, pH-조절제로 potassium carbonate를 사용한 경우가 ammonia를 사용한 경우에 비해 높은 수율을 나타냈다. 이러한 차이는 공침 시에 수용액 내에서 ammonia가 보여주는 상대적으로 큰 Na2+←NH3 착화 효과와 더불어 공침물-세척제의 pH에 기인하는 것으로 해석하였다.

Effect of storage temperature, washing, and cooking on postharvest-treated pesticide residues in polished rice was investigated. After being traeted with each 500 mg/kg of captan, carbaryl, phenthoate, fenthion, fenitrothion, chlorpyriphos-methyl, pirimiphos-methyl, the polished rice was stored for 8 weeks at 4 and 30℃, respectively. The penetation rate of carbaryl was the highest as 27.5% and the others, 13 to 18%. The half lives of pesticide residues were estimated as 30 to 230 weeks at 4℃, but 1 to 12 weeks at 30℃. The residues were reduced faster at 30℃ than at 4℃. The half lives of pesticide residues by water washing were estimated as 0.7 to 4.6 trials and the residues were removed with the washing trials. The residues of captan and carbaryl in cooked rice were removed 100 and 98%, respectively, comparing to initial residues concentration in treated rice but those of other 5 pesticides were removed 80%.

Washing water volume of rice for cooking and rice weight for one person per meal in one household were surveyed for confirming pollution by the washing water and total losses by rice washing procedures. The mean size of a family was 4.64 persons and the mean consumption weight of rice per capital per meal was 138.43g. It is used 0.782 L of water for washing the rice per capital share. The washing water of rice was composed of 0.32% of total solid, 0.11% of soluble solid and 1.65% of solid loss to rice, and COD and BOD of it were 2.400 and 3.564 ppm respectively. Based on total population in Korea, 41 miliion, excepting age below 4, total cost for washing water of rice summed up about 1,495 billion won including 8.8 billion won for tap water cost, 11.7 billion won for waste water treatment, and 129 billion for solid loss of rice.

According to the revised version of Waste Control Act to enter into force in 2017, Wastes could only be recycled assuming that the use of recycled wastes is safe for the environment and human health by environmental safety assessment. Even before this revision of the law, inorganic sludges could have been recycled as alternative materials for filler and cover materials by mixing with soil. However, in case of inorganic sludge from car-washing facilities, the revised law provides that the waste has to be landfilled. To assess the possibility of recycling this waste, we investigate the characteristics of the generation and concentration level of hazardous substances and evaluate the safety of recycling this material to assess whether this process meets the environmental standards. We obtained a total of eight sludge samples from car-wash shops, such as those in gas stations, car-repair shops and car-wash facilities. According to the results of leaching tests, most of the samples(8) fell under the detection limit and thus could be legally treated as general waste. However, in the results of contents some heavy metals, such as hexavalent chromium, lead, copper and zinc, exceeded the standards for soil contamination. We can conclude that the recycling of inorganic sludge from car-wash facilities could cause pollution in soil media when recycled and should not be recycled for filler and cover 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.

Potato greening determines the shelf life and affects the marketability of this tuber. Various stresses during handling and storage interact to affect the tuber’s physiological status and can affect the rate of greening. This study investigated the effects of storage temperature on tuber greening and shelf life in unwashed and washed potatoes of the cultivar Superior. Physiological and biochemical changes were examined during 15 days at room temperature (23±2°C) under cool-white fluorescent light after storage for 1 month at different temperatures (4°C, 20°C). Hunter a values were negative (-) for washed potatoes after 3 days (-0.8) and 15 days (-2.5) at room temperature following 1 month of storage at 4°C while positive (+) values were observed for unwashed potatoes after 15 days at room temperature. The Hunter ΔE values of washed potatoes previously stored at 4°C for 1 month increased after 3 days at room temperature compared with those of unwashed potatoes. The total chlorophyll content of washed potatoes was higher than that of unwashed potatoes. The highest correlation was observed between the Hunter ΔE value and Hunter a value (-0.93506), while a positive correlation coefficient (0.89806) was observed between greening criteria and Hunter ΔE value by using colorimetry. We conclude, therefore, that there is a biosynthetic link between temperature-induced chlorophyll accumulation and tuber greening in storage.

A design methodology for parametric design optimization of washing machine door is presented. We develop a motion simulator and a robotic door to simulate the various motion of washing machine doors. The motion of the washing machine door is related to hinge parameters. Springs and dampers are usually used in the hinge of washing machine door for controlling motion of the door. A physical simulator of the door motion is used for finding candidate parameters of the hinge and a robotic door whose motion is controlled algorithmically is used for consumer tests. Through the consumer evaluation on the robotic motion, the optimized parameters are determined. We find the optimal parameters as a function of angle and angular velocity of the door.

This study was aimed at determining the changes in heavy metal removal efficiency at different acid concentrations in a micro-nanobubble soil washing system and pickling process that is used to dispose of heavy metals. For this purpose, the initial and final heavy metal concentrations were measured to calculate the heavy metal removal efficiency 5, 10, 20, 30, 60, and 120 min into the experiment. Soil contaminated by heavy metals and extracted from 0~15 cm below the surface of a vehicle junkyard in the city of U was used in the experiment. The extracted soil was air-dried for 24 h, after which a No. 10 (2 mm) was used as a filter to remove large particles and other substances from the soil as well as to even out the samples. As for the operating conditions, the air inflow rate in the micro-nano bubble soil washing system was fixed at 2 L/min,; with the concentration of hydrogen peroxide being adjusted to 5%, 10%, or 15%. The treatment lasted 120 min. The results showed that when the concentration of hydrogen peroxide was 5%, the efficiency of Zn removal was 27.4%, whereas those of Ni and Pb were 28.7% and 22.8%, respectively. When the concentration of hydrogen peroxide was 10%, the efficiency of Zn removal was 38.7%, whereas those of Ni and Pb were 42.6% and 28.6%, respectively. When the concentration of hydrogen peroxide was 15%, the efficiency of Zn removal was 49.7%, whereas those of Ni and Pb were 57.1% and 42.6%, respectively. Therefore, the efficiency of removal of all three heavy metals was the highest when the hydrogen peroxide concentration was 15%.

중금속에 의한 토양 오염이 국가적인 환경문제로 대두되면서 오염된 토양의 정화 기술 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근 (구) 장항제련소의 중금속 오염부지에 대한 1차 정화사업이 완료되었고, 2차 사업이 진행되면서 토양세척기술이 가장 현실적인 중금속 오염 토양을 정화할 수 있는 기술로 인식되고 있다. 그러나, 토양세척공정은 75μm 미만의 미세토양에 대해서는 중금속의 화학적 추출이 거의 일어나지 않는다고 알려져 있어, 논토양과 같이 미세토 함량이 높은 부지에 대해서는 적용하더라도 그 효율이 낮아 폐기물로 버려지는 토양의 양이 많은 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 미세토양에서 중금소의 추출 효율을 높이기 위해 중금속이 토양에서 어떠한 결합형태를 가지고 있는지와 중금속의 광물학적 특성을 고려하여 새로운 토양세척 공정을 제안하였다. 결합형태 분석을 통해 토양과 중금속의 결합강도에 대한 정보를 알 수 있으며, 기기분석을 통한 중금속의 광물학적 특성 분석을 통해 해당 중금속의 용해도에 대한 정보를 확인할 수 있다. 이 연구를 통해 제안된 공정을 비소, 납, 아연과 같은 중금속 오염 토양의 실험실 규모 정화에 적용하여 처리 효율 평가하였다. 비소의 경우 미세토만을 대상으로 실험한 결과 우려기준 이내로 정화할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The influence of seed maturity, stratification, and seed washing method on seed germination were investigated for establishment of seed propagation system in dropwort (Oenanthe stolonifera DC). Seed germination rate was increased as period of the seed ripening increased, especially the seed over 40 days after flowering showed the highest germination rate. The optimum period of cold stratification treatment to promote seed germination was about 8 weeks. The seed treated by a cold wet stratification with sand exhibited higher germination rate compared to the seed treated by a cold wet stratification without sand. The stratified seeds that were stored in the ground having fluctuating temperature were improved up to 19%, while stratification stored under constant temperature(4℃) did not improve germination rate. In addition, 8 weeks of stratification period under fluctuating temperature in the ground was most effective. Sodium hypochlorite, vital oxide, and distilled water were used as chemicals to remove the germination inhibitor of seed coat. Water washing of seed coat after soaking in 0.5% sodium hypochlorite and 0.0005% vital oxide for three minutes and 60 minutes respectively could effectively remove the germination inhibitors in the seed coat.

Many nuclear facilities will have to be decommissioned or dismantled in the near future. Great amounts of solid radioactive waste and waste solution are generated from there mediation of uranium-contaminated soil. If the uranium selectively removed in the waste solution by a resin and desorbed from the resin by a proper reagent, the solution would be reused without an increase of pH to precipitate uranium, and a very small amount of the 2nd waste would be generated. The sorption of uranium from the washing solutions by an ampholyte resin (S-950, Purolite Company) was tested. As a result, 97% of uranium was sorbed on S-950, and 90% of uranium was desorbed from the resin by a batch-type washing with 0.5 M Na2CO3 solution at 60℃.

Heat shock pretreatment, dark culture period and washing medium could have marked effects on microspore embryogenesis. A heat shock pretreatment of microspores at 32.5°C for 48 hours gave high production rate of microspore-derived embryo (MDE) when compare to shorter and longer period. The yield of MDE increased significantly when microspore cultured for 15 days at 25℃ in dark condition followed by heat shock pretreatment. MDE were browned and lost vitality when dark treatment period extended longer than 15 days. This is caused by an insufficient oxygen and light for growing embryo which already formed during dark treatment period. The vitality of a microspore isolated from flower bud stored at 4℃ become decreased at the very first day and the vitality of microspore stored at 4℃ in the form of flower bud itself become decreased from the 5th day after storage. This shows the possibility of getting a certain period of storage for a suitable flower bud in MDE formation. The yield of MDE was most effective when isolated microspore was had with MS medium compared to B-5 and NLN medium and also showed most effective result with sucrose 130 g􀂂L-1 in additional sucrose concentration. The above result is thought to be very useful for the development of a new cultivar of radish and other many crops including Brassica using haploid breeding technology.
