고온형 고분자 전해질 막 연료전지 (HT-PEMFC)는 100°C 이하의 저온 고분자전해질 운영 시스템에 비해 개선된 전극 반응 동역학, 뛰어난 물 및 열 관리, 연료 불순물에 대한 내성 및 폐열 이용과 같은 많은 이점을 제공한다. 그러나 HT-PEMFC는 구동 중 발생하는 물의 증발과 함께 분리막 내 인산이 증발하여 성능이 낮아진다는 단점이 있다. 때문에 본 연구에서는 이러한 인산의 유출에 대한 핫 프레스 유무, 전극 GDL 종류, 분리막 가수분해 조건, 셀 성능에 따른 영향을 인산의 비색정량을 통해 분석하였다. 그 결과 인산의 유출량은 주로 셀성능에 영향을 받으며 GDL이 치밀할수록 억제됨을 확인하였다.

In order to investigate the runoff characteristics of nonpoint source pollutants in the Lake Doam watershed, water quality and flow rate were monitored for 38-rainfall events from 2009 to 2016. The EMC values of SS, COD, TN and TP were in the range of 33~2,169, 3.5~56.9, 0.09~7.65 and 0.06~2.21 mg L-¹, respectively. As a result of analyzing the effect of rainfall factor on the nonpoint source pollutant load, EMCs of SS, COD and TP showed a statistically significant correlation with rainfall (RA) (p<0.01) and SS showed highly significant correlation with maximum rainfall intensity (MRI, R=0.48). The load ranges of SS, COD, TN and TP were 10.4~11,984.6, 1.1~724.4, 0.6~51.6 and 0.03~22.85 ton event-¹, respectively, showing large variation depending on the characteristics of rainfall events. The effect of rainfall on the load was analyzed. SS, COD and TP showed a positive correlation, but TN did not show any significant correlation. The annual load of SS was the highest with 88,645 tons year-¹ in 2011 when rainfall was the highest with 1,669 mm. The result of impact analysis of nonpoint source pollution reduction project and land-use change on runoff load showed that pollutant load significantly reduced from 2009 to 2014 but SS and TP loads were increased from 2014 to 2016 due to increase in construction area. Therefore, we suggested that nonpoint source pollution abatement plan should be continued to reduce the soil loss and pollutants during rainfall, and countermeasures to reduce nonpoint source pollution due to construction need to be established.

It is not cost effective to raise the density of catch basins in preparation for heavy rainfall in terms of construction and maintenance. Our researchers have developed the new catch basin for increasing interception capacity of runoff with internal filtration structure. To compare interception capacity of an existing catch basin with the invented catch basin, a hydraulic experiment device with 4% of road gradients and 0.2% of road gradients was constructed. For runoff conditions of 4.4 l/s, 6.7 l/s and 10.4 l/s, capability of runoff and separation capability of debris (sand and leaves) were evaluated. As the main experimental results, the effectiveness of the developed catch basin has been verified with an increase in interception rate of approximately 22% for the runoff of 6.7 l/s as heavy rainfall. However, the results of invented catch basin showed only 4.5% of settlement rate of debris regarding sand. Therefore, the authors proposed an improved tilted screen structure additionally. After reviewing the performance of improved catch basin, application of the invented catch basin is expected to drain runoff effectively when it is applied to the faulty road drainage section.

Rivers continuously transport terrestrial organic carbon matter to the estuary and the ocean, and they play a critical role in productivity and biodiversity in the marine ecosystem as well as the global carbon cycle. The amount of terrestrial organic carbon transporting from the rivers to ocean is an essential piece of information, not only for the marine ecosystem management but also the carbon budget within catchment. However, this phenomenon is still not well understood. Most large rivers in Korea have a well-established national monitoring system of the river flow and the TOC (Total Organic Carbon) concentration from the mountain to the river mouth, which are fundamental for estimating the amount of the TOC flux. We estimated the flux of the total terrestrial organic carbon of five large rivers which flow out to the Yellow Sea, using the data of the national monitoring system (the monthly mean TOC concentration and the monthly runoff of river flow). We quantified the annual TOC flux of the five rivers, showing their results in the following order: the Han River (18.0×109 gC yr-1)>>Geum River (5.9×109 gC yr-1)>Yeongsan River (2.6×109 gC yr-1)>Sumjin River (2.0×109 gC yr-1)>>Tamjin River (0.2×109 gC yr-1). The amount of the Han River, which is the highest in the Korean rivers, corresponds to be 4% of the annual total TOC flux of in the Yellow River, and moreover, to be 0.6% of Yangtze River.

베트남은 3,444 가 넘는 해안선, 수천 개의 섬 그리고 길이 4260 이상인 2,360개의 강과 수로가 있는 해양국이다. 선박 에 의한 유류수송의 빈도와 수송량이 증가하면서 기름유출사고의 가능성이 과거 어느 때보다 높아지고 있다. 해상에서의 연료유 및 화 물유의 유출은 해양생태계, 연안자원 및 인간건강은 물론 사회 경제에 대하여 광범위하고 장기적인 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는 20년 동안의 기름유출사고 건수와 유출량과 같은 베트남의 해양기름유출 현황 그리고 기름유출대응(OSR)에 대한 국가체제 등과 같은 국가 대응체계에 관한 전반을 보여줄 뿐만 아니라, 특히 베트남과 한국 사이의 국가기름유출대응체제를 비교함으로써 기름유출사고에 대응 하여 베트남의 국가역량을 강화하기 위한 권고안을 제시하고자 한다. 그 결과, 베트남의 해양기름유출사고 건수와 유출량은 한국의 하 락 추세와는 대조적으로 상승 추세를 보였다. 이는 베트남의 연안 해역에서 실제적 기름유출 가능성이 높다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 베트남의 국가기름유출대응역량을 강화하기 위한 3가지 주요 권고안을 다음과 같이 제안한다. 즉 OPRC협약의 수락 · 이행 그리고 유류오염으로 인한 피해 및 손실을 보상하는 국가기금의 조성과 같은 기름유출사고에 대비하고 대응하기 위한 법률제도를 포함한 국 가기름유출대응 시스템을 강화하기 위한 방안의 개발; 일관된 보고, 경보 및 모니터링 시스템의 강화; 표준 교육과정 내용으로 구성된 교육 및 훈련 프로그램의 개발을 제안하고자 한다.

점차 증가하는 해외병해충의 국내 침입 가능성에 대응하기 위한 선제적인 연구가 필요하다. 이를 위해 일부국가에서는 해충 전용 밀폐연구시설(physical containment)을 구축하여 생태계 교란을 방지하기 위한 해충 연구를진행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 밀폐연구 시설의 구축 시 필요한 망의 크기별 해충의 탈출능력과 풍력 및진공조건에서 해충의 이동능력을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 딱정벌레목의 거짓쌀도둑거저리, 나비목의 담배나방과 배추좀나방, 파리목의 오이꽃과실파리와 오이과실파리 모두 0.65m/s 이상의 풍속조건에서 성충의 이동에는 영향을 주었으나유충에는 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 또한, 진공조건에서는 모든 해충의 행동이 둔해지는 경향을 보였다. 0.25mm의망 크기에서 나비목과 딱정벌레목 해충의 경우 1령 단계에서유출이 가능하였으나, 2령부터는 몸의 크기가 증가하여유출이 되지 않았다.

The objective of this study was to quantify and characterize the inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus outflow loading from different water managements in paddy fields. We investigated the NO3-N, NH4-N, and PO4 in runoff from paddy fields in Iksan. The three different water management treatments were conventional continuous irrigation at 4 and 8 cm water levels, and intermittent irrigation at a 4 cm water level. The concentration of NO3-N at the early growth stage in surface water was 6.11 mg L-1, and then it gradually decreased. The downward curve increased slightly with additional nitrogen fertilization at the panicle initiation stage, and then it continued to decrease. The NH4-N concentration was 5.26 mg L-1, and that of PO4 was 0.70 mg L-1 at the early growth stage. However, the concentration of NO3-N peaked at 8.79 mg L-1 directly after transplantation and then decreased rapidly throughout the growing season. The amount of NH4-N runoff was 1.86 kg ha-1 in the plot with intermittent irrigation, and 2.0 kg ha-1 and 2.1 kg ha-1 in the plots with water depths of 4 and 8 cm, respectively. The NO3-N runoff was 7.43 kg ha-1 in the plot with intermittent irrigation, 8.62 kg ha-1 in the plot with a water depth of 4 cm, and 10.25 kg ha-1 in the plot with a water depth of 8 cm. In addition, the PO4 runoff was 0.42 kg ha-1 in the plot with intermittent irrigation, 0.48 and 0.55 kg ha-1 in the plots with water depths of 4 and 8 cm, respectively. The saving effect of irrigation water was 28.5% than that of conventional water management treatments, and the amount of nitrogen runoff was decreased by 18.5% with intermittent irrigation. However, the phosphorus runoff was not different between the different water management treatments in paddy fields.
