Regarding to the ecotourism for environmental conservation, tourists's consciousness and attitude on environment should be dealt with importantly more than the mass tourism. The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of the tourist's environmental consciousness on the ecotourism attitudes. As a result, it was analysed that the more people had interested in environmental problems, positive activities in the environment, the more people had the ecotourism attitudes. This suggested that for development of the ecotourism, it were needed to change tourist's attitude to friendly environment, to make higher consciousness about environmental conservation.
The purpose of this study is to present the model of ecological restoration through analysis on the condition of hydrach succession process in brackish water lake. To this study, we investigate and research the present condition of brackish water lake in South Korea. Most brackish water lake in South Korea have characteristics that is come into being malignant hydrach succession. Many lakes were reclaimed to increase foodstuff production. And river conservation work seperate lakes from the ocean. In a embryological view, most lakes based on the brackish water lakes. But present lakes show many different types such as a fresh water lake, a salt lake, a brackish water lake, a swamp, and a marshland. As a result, brackish water lakes have greatly damaged by diverse artificial interventions to promote people's activities. Therefore, in order to manage brackish water lakes systematically, criteria of lake preservation must be coincide with the present conditions of hydrach succession in each lake.
The purpose of the study was to construct a forecast system of flood inundation area at natural stream channels. The study built the system to interpret the flood inundation area in four stages ; constructing topography data around the stream channel, interpreting flood discharge, interpreting flood elevation in the stream channel, and interpreting the flood inundation and mapping. According to the result of the analysis, as for the characteristic of flood inundation around the area within the purview of this study, although there were areas where flood inundation over a bank caused a flooded area, the failure of the internal drainage in the ground lower than flood elevation caused more serious problems. Rather than the existing method where only the estimated flood elevation data is used based on the hydrographical stream channel trace model(such as the HEC-RAS model) to establish the flood inundation area, if the procedure introduced in this study was applied to interpret the floodplain, actual flood inundation area could be visibly confirmed.
체계적으로 분석된 대구지역의 PM10 오염도의 시간적 및 공간적 특성과 대조지역에서 측정된 PM10 오염도에 근거하여 대구지역의 PM10 오염에 대한 저감 방안이 다음과 같이 제시된다. 대구시의 지역특성에 따른 PM10 관리의 관점에서 볼 때 대구지역의 PM10 관리는 다른 지역보다는 도로변 또는 도로변 인근지역, 그리고 공업지역에서 우선적으로 이루어져야 하고 지역적으로 PM10 관리 전략을 달리하여야 함을 제시하고 있다. 남산동, 삼덕동 및 대명동을 포함하여 도로변 또는 도로변 인근의 주택에 거주하는 주민의 PM10으로부터 건강 위해성을 줄이기 위해서는 자동차 교통 관리가 가장 우선적으로 수행되어야 한다. 한편, 노원동과 중리동을 포함한 공업지역 또는 인근에 거주하는 주민의 PM10으로부터 건강 위해성을 줄이기 위해서는 자동차 교통 관리 보다는 공단 배출 PM10 관리가 가장 우선적으로 수행되어야 한다. 나아가, 본 연구결과에 기초할 때, 비록 만성영향과 밀접한 관련이 있는 평균농도는 모든 지역에서 PM10 대기환경 기준치 이하로 나타났지만, 급성영향과 밀접한 관련이 있는 최대 농도와 결코 낮지 않은 PM10 대기환경 기준치를 초과하는 빈도수를 고려할 때, 대구지역의 PM10 관리는 지속적으로 수행되어야 함이 강조된다.
대구지역의 시간대 별 PM10 관리 관점에서 볼 때, 대구의 일반 주거지역의 PM10 관리는 오전 10시에서 오후 1 3시에 집중되어야 효율적인 PM10 관리가 될 수 있음을 의미한다. 공업지역인 중리동과 노원동의 경우, 다소 이른 오전 7시부터 오후 1 2시 사이에 PM10 관리가 집중되어야 효율적인 PM10 관리가 될 수 있을 것이다. 반면에 상업/주거 지역인 삼덕동과 대명동 그리고 도로변 지역인 남산동의 경우, 특정 시간대가 아닌 거의 전 시간대에 걸쳐 PM10 관리해야 하고 특히 자동차 배출 PM10 관리대책 수립이 시급하다.
대구지역의 요일 별 PM10 관리 관점에서 볼 때, 모든 지역에 대하여 일요일과 월요일의 PM10 농도가 낮게 나타났으므로 화요일에서 토요일까지 집중되는 것이 PM10관리가 효율적으로 수행될 수 있음을 의미한다.
대구지역의 월 별 PM10 관리 관점에서 볼 때, 모든 지역에서 하절기인 7월, 8월 및 9월에 낮은 농도를 나타내었고, 동절기인 11월 2월 보다는 오히려 이른 봄인 3월에 최대 농도를 나타내고 있으므로 모든 지역에서 3월에는 특별한 PM10 관리가 이루어져야 하고, 특히 근본적인 문제점인 중국의 황사현상을 저감하기 위한 중국과의 외교적인 노력이 요구된다.
대구지역의 계절 별 PM10 관리 관점에서 볼 때, 계절적으로는 모든 지역에서 봄철에 가장 PM10 농도, 그 다음이 겨울, 가을 그리고 여름의 순으로 나타났다. 봄철의 가장 높은 PM10 농도와 여름철의 가장 낮은 PM10 농도는 앞의 월별 PM10 농도 변화에서도 설명된 바와 같이 각각 황사와 장마의 영향 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 여름과 가을 보다 높은 PM10 농도를 나타내는 겨울철의 경우, 난방 연료 사용의 증가로 인한 영향을 받는 것으로 사료되므로 청정연료 사용의 확대가 권장된다.
대부분의 경우, 대조지역에서 측정된 PM10 농도가 대구의 여섯 개 대기오염측정 지점에서 측정된 PM10 농도 보다 낮게 나타났고, 일부는 일반주거지역인 만촌동과 유사하게 나타났다. 따라서, 대구의 PM10 측정망 중에서 만촌동이 주위 PM10 오염원의 영향을 가장 적게 받는 주거지역임을 함께 고려할 때 대구시의 PM10 관리목표는 만촌동의 PM10 수준으로 유지함이 바람직한 것으로 제안된다.
In this study, the decomposition of gas-phase TCE, Benzene and Toluene, in air streams by direct UV Photolysis and UV/TiO2 process was studied.
For direct UV Photolysis, by regressing with computer calculation to the experimental results the value of reaction rate constant k of TCE, Toluene and Benzene in this work were determined to be 0.00392s-1, 0.00230s-1 and 0.00126s-1, respectively. And the adsorption constant K of TCE, Toluene and Benzene in this work were determined to be 0.0519mol-1 ,0.0313mol-1 and 0.0084mol-1, respectively. For UV/TiO2 system by regressing with computer calculation to the experimental results the value of reaction rate constant k of TCE, Toluene, and Benzene in this work were determined to be 5.74g/ℓ․min, 3.85g/ℓ․min, and 1.18g/ℓ․min, respectively. And the catalyst adsorption constant K of TCE, Toluene, and Benzene in this work were determined to be 0.0005m3/mg, 0.0043m3/mg and 0.0048m3/mg, respectively.
In this study, The decomposition of gas-phase Benzene and Toluene, Xylene in air streams by direct UV Photolysis, UV/TiO2 and UV/TiO2/A.C process was studied. The experiments were carried out under various UV light intensities and initial concentrations of B.T.X to investigate and compare the removal efficiency of the pollutant. B.T.X was determined by GC-FID of gas samples taken from the a glass sampling bulb which was located at reactor inlet and outlet by gas-tight syringe.
From this study, the results indicate that UV/TiO2/A.C system (photooxidation-photocatalytic oxidation-adsorption process) is ideal for treatment of B.T.X from the small workplace. Although the results needs more verifications, the methodology seems to be reasonable and can be applied for various workplace (laundry, gas station et al.).
A biofiltration system using activated carbon/polyurethane composite as solid support inoculated with Bacillus sp. was developed for treating a gaseous stream containing high concentrations of H2S. The effects of operating condition such as the influent H2S concentration and the empty bed contact time (EBCT) on the removal efficiency of H2S were investigated. The biofilter showed the stable removal efficiencies of over 99 % under the EBCT range from 15 to 60 sec at the 300 ppmv of H2S inlet concentration. When the inlet concentration of H2S was increased, the removal efficiencies decreased, reaching 95 and 74%, at EBCTs of 10 and 7.5 sec, respectively. The maximum elimination capacity in the biofilter packed with activated carbon/polyurethane composite media was 157 g/m3/hr.
The effect of ozone on the formation and the removal of disinfection byproducts(DBPs) of chlorination process was studied to elucidate the performance of water treatment process. The samples of raw water, prechlorination process, and preozonation process were analyzed quantitatively according to the Standard Methods for the Examination of drinking water. As a result, most of total trihalomethanes(THMs) which were formed in prechlorine treatment process was not removed in the preozonation process.
Most of haloacetic acids(HAAs), haloacetonitriles(HANs), and chloral hydrate(CH) was removed in sedimentation and biological activated carbon(BAC) filtration processes. However, DBPs were increased more or less by postchlorine step. In particular, the formation of THMs and HAAs depends on ozone more than chlorine, but, the formation of HANs and CH depends on chlorine more than ozone. The seasonal variation of DBPs concentration for the year needs to be investigated to study the temperature effect because DBPs strongly depend on temperature among various efficient factors.
Three kinds of toxic heavy metals, such as lead, copper, and cadmium, existing abundantly in contaminated soils were selected to investigate pH change, electroosmotic flow, and the removal rate in the application of electrokinetic process. In the change of pHs, they reached to about 12 and 2 at each cathodic and anodic region, respectively, and maintained for reaction being proceeded. Electroosmotic flow rates were not influenced by the kind of metal species but by electropotential gradient. On the soils contaminated by each metal, the removal rate of Cd was the fastest among three as in the order of Cd>Pb>Cu. While on the soils contaminated by mixed metal species, Cu was the fastest. Metal species transported by electrokinetic processes were distributed in between 0.9 and 1.0 of normalized region. In the case of soils contaminated by one kind of metal. the relative concentrations of Pb and Cd estimated in between normalized region 0.9 and 1.0 were 5.2 and 5.7, respectively.
In this study, sulfate reduction reaction was used to increase the decomposition of organics, which is the most critical factor for the stabilization of a landfill site. Composite of sewage sludge, papers, and incineration ashes was used in the column. The experimental results indicated that out of 10 reactors, the reactors 3, 4, 8, and 9 showed higher organics (i.e., TOC) removal rate than that in the absence of sulfate. The organics removal rates (K) in R3 and R9 were 8.65e-4/d and 3.82e-4/d, respectively. The times to reach 10% of initial concentrations in R3 and R9 was 7.3 and 16.5 years, respectively, showing faster organics decomposition rates in these reactors.
Esterification of soybean oil with methanol was investigated. First of all, liquid-liquid equilibriums for systems of soybean oil and methanol were measured at temperatures ranging from 40 to 65oC. Profiles of conversion of soybean oil with time were determined from the glycerine content in reaction mixtures for the different kinds of catalysts, such as NaOH, CaO, Ca(OH)2, MgO, Mg(OH)2, and Ba(OH)2. The effects of dose of catalyst, cosolvent and reaction temperature on final conversion were examined. Esterification of waste vegetable oil with methanol was investigated and compared to the case of soybean oil.
Solubility of methanol in soybean oil was substantially greater than that of soybean oil in methanol. When the esterification reaction of soybean oil was catalyzed by solid catalyst, final conversion was strongly dependent on the alkalinity of the solid catalyst, and increased with the alkalinity of the metal. Hydroxides from the alkali metals were more effective than oxides. When Ca(OH)2 was used for the esterification catalyst, maximum value of final conversion was measured at dose of 4%. When CHCl3 as a cosolvent, was added into the reaction mixture of soybean oil which catalyzed by Ba(OH)2, maximum value of final conversion was appeared at dose of 3%. When waste vegetable oil was catalyzed by NaOH and solid catalysts, high final conversion, over 90%, and fast reaction rate were obtained.
An author has been known that A-type zeolite supported with silver ions has excellent antibacterial activity. However, it is no research of concern in the antibacterial activity of eluted silver ions. This study tested the elution of silver ions from A-type zeolite silver ions in deionized distilled water and NaNO3 aqueous solution. In NaNO3 aqueous solution of 74mM to 588mM, it was found that the concentration of silver ions and electric conductivity increased with the increasing concentration of sodium ions, and equilibrated at 15 min, and the ion exchange equilibrium coefficient, k, is 1.3×10-3. However, deionized distilled water is not equilibrated to pass 6 months. A-type zeolite sodium ions showed no antibacterial activity. It was found that antibacterial activity was exhibited even at the concentration of 10 nM of eluted silver ions, and E-coli died with the incorporation of 2.43×108 Ag ion/cell. antibacterial activity of A-type zeolite silver ions were mainly attributed to hydroxyl radical.
