Understanding effects of thermal pollution and acidification has long been a concern of aquatic ecologists, but it remains largely unknown in Korea. This study was performed to elucidate the effects of thermal wastewater effluent (TWE) and acid rain on water quality and attached algae in a small mountain stream, the Buso Stream, a tributary located in the Hantan River basin. A total of five study sites were selected in the upstream area including the inflowing point of hot-spring wastewater (HSW), one upstream site (BSU), and three sites below thermal effluent merged into the stream (1 m, 10 m and 300 m for BSD1, BSD2, and BSD3, respectively). Field surveys and laboratory analyses were carried out every month from December 2015 to September 2016. Water temperature ranged 1.7~28.8°C with a mean of 15.0°C among all sites. Due to the effect of thermal effluent, water temperature at HSW site was sustained at high level during the study period from 17.5°C (January) to 28.8°C (September) with a mean of 24.2±3.7°C, which was significantly higher than other sites. Thermal wastewater effluent also brought in high concentration of nutrients (N, P). The effect of TWE was particularly apparent during dry season and low temperature period (December~March). Temperature effect of TWE did not last toward downstream, while nutrient effect seemed to maintain in longer distance. pH ranged 5.1~8.4 with a mean of 6.9 among all sites during the study period. The pH decrease was attributed to seasonal acid rain and snow fall, and their effects was identified by acidophilic diatoms dominated mainly by Eunotia pectinalis and Tabellaria flocculosa during March and August. These findings indicated that water quality and periphyton assemblages in the upstream region of Buso Stream were affected by thermal pollution, eutrophication, and acidification, and their confounding effects were seasonally variable.

나노실리카가 코팅된 유리 표면은 나노실리카 표면에 존재하는 친수성 수산기로 인해 방담성 이 매우 증가하나, 실외에 설치된 유리에 코팅된 경우는 비에 의해 씻겨 나가 방담 특성의 내구성이 급 격히 감소한다. 또한 나노실리카가 코팅된 유리 표면의 토폴로지는 광투과율 또는 반사방지 특성을 좌우 하는 매우 중요한 인자이다. 이러한 나노실리카 코팅의 특성에 관한 내구성을 향상시키기 위하여 가교제 로 테트라에틸오르소실리케이트 (TEOS)를 사용하여 나노실리카 (Ludox) 현탁액으로 친수성 나노실리카 피막을 제조하였다. 산성 또는 염기성 수용액 중에서의 TEOS의 가수 분해 최적 조건도 물에 대한 접촉 각 측정을 통하여 조사하였다.산성 또는 염기성 수용액 중에서의 TEOS의 가수 분해 최적 조건도 물에 대한 접촉 각 측정을 통하여 조사하였다. pH=4의 산성 조건에서 1.5 wt% 나노실리카-TEOS 코팅액으로 얻은 최종 투명한 친수성 코팅층은 매우 향상된 친수성에 대한 내구성뿐만 아니라, 코팅하지 않은 유리에 비해 약 2 % 포인트 정도 높은 가시광투과율을 나타내었다.
