The antibacterial effect amino acid-copper(Ⅱ) surfactant on fish pathogens was studied. Fish pathogens of Edwardsiella tarda, Vibrio anguillarum, Aeromonas hydrophila and Streptococcus sp. were selected, cultured in nutrient agar and adjusted at 2 × 10 5∼106 CFU/㎖ in phosphate buffer saline before the addtion of amino acid-copper(Ⅱ) surfactant with different concentrations. All tested pathogens died within 1 hour with 1 ppm of amino acid-copper(Ⅱ) surfactant. In comparison with formalin and ET, amino acid-copper(Ⅱ) surfactnat was more effective in antibacterial capacity.
The estuary of Nakdong river is very influenced by the freshwater contained nutrients and organic materials. The response results of these influences are eutrophication and red tide outbreak in this region.
Concentration of chlorophyll a was 0.78∼62.55㎍/L in February, 1.20∼21.29㎍/L in April, 1.88∼188.35㎍/L in June, and 0.78∼11.21㎍/L in August, respectively. The decrease of chlorophyll a is considered that residence time is shorten by increase of freshwater discharge, and unfavorable growth condition of phytoplankton is created by diffusion of low salinity and increase of turbidity.
The phytoplankton maximum region located inner side of this estuary during winter season, whereas it was moved to outer side when mean discharge of the Nakdong river was increased. Therefore, the variation of phytoplankton maximum region was affected by input discharge from the Nakdong river basin.
It is very important to interprete and simulate the variation of phytoplankton maximum region for the prediction and control of red tide.
This study was composed of two parts, first, the hydrodynamic simulation such as residual current and salinity diffusion, and second, the ecological simulation such as phytoplankton distribution according to freshwater discharge and pollutant loads.
Without the Nakdong river discharge, residual current was stagnated in inner side of this estuary, and surface distribution of salinity was over 25psu. On the contrary, with summer mean discharge, freshwater stretched very far outward and some waters flowed into Chinhae Bay through the Kadok channel, and low salinity extended over coastal sea and salinity front occurred.
From the result of contributed physical process to phytoplankton biomass, the accumulation was occurred at the west part of this estuary and the Kadok channel with the Nakdong river discharge. When more increased input discharge, the accumulation band was transported to outer side of this estuary. The frequently outbreak of red tide in this area is caused by accumulation of physical processes.
The phytoplankton maximum region located inner side of this estuary without the Nakdong river discharge and with mean discharge of winter, but it was moved to outer side when mean discharge of the Nakdong river was increased. The variation of input concentration from the land loads was not largely influenced on phytoplankton biomass and location of maximum region. When discharge was increased, phytoplankton maximum region was transferred to inner side of the Kadok channel. On the other hand, when discharge was decreased, phytoplankton maximum region was transferred to inner side of this estuary and chlorophyll a contents increased to over 20㎍/L. Therefore, if any other conditions are favorable for growth of phytoplankton, decrease of discharge causes to increase of possibility of red tide outbreak.
Visibility reduction is a barometer of air pollution, which people can notice easily. First of all, we need to measure quantified visibility continuously in order to examine visibility reduction. Prevailing visibility is not practical to measure visibility depending on observer's expertness.
Scattering visibility using Forward Scattering Meter (Belfort Visibility Sensor 6230) has been measured at Kwangan-Dong in Pusan and analysed since July, 1998. According to the analysis, the correlation coefficient(R) between prevailing visibility and scattering visibility was 0.7235.
The visibility appeared that each frequency of poor visibility (under 6㎞) and good visibility(over 25㎞) was 10.6%, 9.7% on summertime in Pusan and the visibility range from 10km to 20km ranked high frequency as a half of whole ranges.
The order of correlation coefficients between visibility and air pollutants are ranking CO, PM10 and NO2, that values are 0.5878, 0.5369, 0.5284 respectively. In meteorological factor, the case of poor visibility presented more weakly wind speed and higher relative humidity than the case of good visibility.
The correlation coefficient between calculated visibility of multiple linear regression model and observed visibility was 0.7215. But the trend of calculated and observed visibility variation was similar with the exception of several good visibility cases.
In this study a packed tower was selected for the treatment apparatus of NH3 gas produced in industry. Formerly, latticework packing has been used in preventive facility of treatment of NH3 gas. However, recently metallic Ralu-Pack 250YC, structured packing, is usually being used in petrochemical production plant. This study is for the application the packing to the NH3 gas treatment in wet scrubbing process. In Air/water system, hydraulic pressure drop dependent of specific liquid load and gas capacity factor was continuous and parallel from graph. The tower height can be determined by the number of transfer unit and the height of transfer unit influenced on liquid distribution.
Packing tower has been used in the chemical industry and the protection of environment for a long time. In the view of environmental protection, purification of exhaust gas can be performance effective by gas absorption in counter-current packing tower. In this study, characteristics of hydraulic and mass transfer were investigated in D. 0.3m × H. 1.4m packing tower with 50mm plastic Hiflow-ring. This study was carried out "Test systems were experimented in conditions of Air, Air/H2O, NH3-Air/H2O, NH3-Air/H2O- H2SO4, and SO2 -Air/H2O-NaOH under steady state". The extent of test included dry and wetting pressure drop, physical law, separation efficiency, and hold-up as function of gas and liquid load.
Numerical simulation model using nesting method and considering topographic features was developed to predict atmospheric environments, atmospheric flow, temperature and diffusion of air pollutants in Kwangyang bay where having complex areas of point sources, Korea.
In addition, developed simulation model was used tracing of spreading range of pollutants when a gas leaks suddenly from Yeo-cheon industrial complex.
By comparing the measured and calculated data on atmospheric flow, temperature and diffusion of air pollutants, the results showed that this model can be well applied and complicated topography affected the diffusion of air pollutants.
On the basis of theory of Bratsch's electronegativity equalization, the electronegativity equalization, the group electronegativities and the group partial charges for cationic and amphoteric surfactants could be calculated using Pauling's electronegativity parameters. From calculated output, we have investigated relationships between CMC(critical micelle concentration) and partial charge and group electronegativity of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, structural stability of micelle for cationic and amphoteric surfactants. As a result, CMC depends upon partial charge and electronegativity of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups for surfactants. In case of cationic surfactant, as the increment of carbon number in hydrophilic group, partial charge of hydrophilic group is increased, but CMC and electronegativity of hydrophilic group is decreased. With increasing the carbon number of hydrophilic group for cationic surfactant, its partial charge is increased, but CMC and its electronegativity are decreased. With increasing the carbon number of hydrophobic group for cationic and amphoteric surfactant, its partial charge is increased, but CMC and its electronegativity are decreased
In order to examine the availability and effectiveness of crab shell for the removal of heavy metals in aqueous solution, the crab shell was compared with cation exchange resin (CER), zeolite, granular activated carbon (GAC) and powdered activated carbon (PAC) on aspects of heavy metal removal capacity, rate and efficiency. In the removal of Pb, Cd and Cr, the heavy metal removal capacity of crab shell was higher than those of any other sorbents (CER, zeolite, GAC, PAC), and the order of heavy metal removal capacity was crab shell > CER > zeolite > PAC =~GAC. However, in the removal of Cu, the result of crab shell was slightly lower than that of CER. The initial heavy metal removal rate was affected by the sorts of sorbents and metals. In all heavy metals, the heavy metal removal rate of crab shell was higher than those of any other sorbents. Under the heavy metal concentration of 1.0 mmole/ℓ, the heavy metal removal efficiency of crab shell was maintained as 93∼100 %, which was much higher than those of any other sorbents.
In this study, the removal possibility of nutrients of T-P, NH3-N, NO3-N, and T-N is examined through a positive experimental study using submerged biofilter of media packing channel method. From the analysis of nutrients removal efficiency for each run of the collected sample, following results are obtained. Firstly, the result of N/P surveying for inflow shows serious value that excess the limit value of 20 as the values are in the range of 12.0∼42.7 and the average is 25.73. Secondly, the highest concentration of the incoming NH3-N reaches double of the standard since the concentrations of NH3-N, and NO3-N for inflow shows 0.06㎎/ℓ , and 2.5∼3.8㎎/ℓ respectively, and the average removal rate which passed the submerged biofilter adopted in this study is a satisfactory level. Next, the average removal rate of T-P of 51.5% shows the possibility of entrophication removal since the removal rate of T-P of 66.8∼68.8% in relative low temperature period of RUN 1∼2 appeared higher than in RUN 3∼6, and T-N shows relatively poor result with the average removal rate of 34.1%. And it is known that the bigger BOD/P and BOD/N are, the more removal rate increases from the examination result of the relation between BOD/P and BOD/N, and the treatment water T-P and T-N to decide the relation with the concentration of organic matters, and thought that the appropriate proportion is necessary for effective removal of nitrogen and phosphorus.
The characteristics of Far-infrared rays mineral water(FIR water) have been compared to the tap water by means of relationship between FIR water and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy(NMR), FIR water and thermography, FIR water and velocity of blood, FIR-water and pH, FIR water and dissolved oxygen(DO), FIR water and Oxidation-Reduction Potential(ORP), using the development FIR water purification of grand prix system. From the experimental result are quite satisfactory when compared with the tap water. Also, the FIR water were evaluated to see if those are tasty and healthy using the Hashimoto's Mineral Balance Index. As a result, FIR-water was found as tasty and healthy.
In order to study on the variational characteristics of water quality and chlorophyll a concentration, the water samples were collected daily or three times a week during the period from April 1990 to November 1991 at Kukdong port located in the Northern Kamak bay of Southern Korea
I made an analysis on biological factor as chlorophyll a concentration as well as physico-chemical factors such as water temperature, salinity, sigma-t, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, and silicate), N/P ratio and chemical oxygen demand.
In Northern Kamak bay seasonal variations in physical factors such as water temperature, salinity and sigma-t were very marked. On the other hand, chemical factors such as nutrients concentration and COD were not so. Chemical factors, in particular, silicate were influenced by input of freshwater. And the roles of silicate on the seasonal succession of phytoplankton species composition was very low.
Phytoplankton biomass as measured by chlorophyll a concentration was very high all the year round, and it was controlled by the combination of several factors, especially of N/P ratio determined by dissolved inorganic nitrogen.
A study on the removal of Pb ion from Pb-contaminated soil was carried out, using ex-situ extraction process. Tartaric acid (TA) and iminodiacetic acid sodium salt (IDA) as a washing agent were evaluated as a function of concentration, reaction time, mixing ratio of washing agent and recycling of washing agent. TA showed a better extraction performance than IDA.
The optimum washing condition of TA and IDA were in the ratio of 1 : 15 and 1 : 20 between soil and acid solution during 1 hr reaction. The total concentrations of Pb ion by TA and IDA at three repeated extraction, were 368.8 ppm and 267.5 ppm, respectively.
The recovery of Pb ion from washing solution was achieved by adding calcium hydroxide and sodium sulfide, form the precipitation of lead hydroxide and lead sulfide, and optimum amounts of sodium sulfide and calcium hydroxide were 7 g/ℓ for the TA washing solution and 4 g/ℓ , 5 g/ℓ for the IDA washing solution, respectively. The efficiency of recycle for TA and IDA washing solution were 78.8%, 95.1% and 89.2%, 96.6%, at third extractions under Na2S and Ca(OH)2, respectively.
