우리나라 영해 밖 EEZ내 침몰한 외국선박의 잔존유 제거작업이 국내 최초로 2019년 5월 이행되었다. 우리 관할수역이지만 기 름 제거작업은 홍콩 선주 측 P&I 보험사와 계약을 맺은 일본업체가 수행하고 국내 업무 대행은 S법무법인과 J해운이 맡았다. 해당 선박은 총톤수 4,433톤의 일반화물선으로 2015년 4월 제주도 남동방 약 48마일 해상에서 침몰하였다. 침몰 후 기름 제거 작업 개시까지 만 4년이 넘는 기간이 소요되었지만 잔존유 제거작업은 단 22일 만에 끝났다. 대형선박이고 잔존유량이 많았던 Erika호나 Prestige호 등 외국사례 등과 비교하면 기름 제거 결정까지 긴 시간이 걸렸다. 그 원인을 파악하고자 해당선박 침몰 시부터 잔존유 제거까지 생산된 모든 문서 93건을 확보하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 가장 우선적으로 이루어져야 할 행정적 절차 즉, 잔존유 제거에 대한 관할 행정기관의 의사결정이 지연 되었음이 확인되었다. 관할청에서 긴 시간 동안 많은 검토를 하였지만 최종 결과는 초기방안과 별로 달라지지 않았다. 4년의 시간이 흐르는 동안 선내 잔존유 상당량이 유출되고 화물 전체가 유실되었다. 의사결정 지연에 영향을 미친 원인으로 관할청의 사고 관련 기본 사실 이나 자료 확인 소홀부터 법률적, 기술적, 환경적 그리고 인적 측면 등 여러 문제점이 식별되었다. 연구 마지막에 식별된 문제점에 대한 개선안, 즉 의사결정 효율화 방안을 제시한다. 이 연구는 국내 최초 EEZ내 외국 침몰선박 잔존유 제거 사례를 고찰하여 향후 유사한 작업 계획이나 정책수립 등에 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.

최근 수십년간 크고 작은 대형 해난사고가 발생하였으며 2002년 6월 29일 제2연평해전에서 우리 해군 함정 참수리 357함이 이북 함정의 포탄에 피격되어 7시간 30분만에 침몰하였고 2007년 12월 7일 새벽 07시 태안 만리포 앞 해상에 정박 중이던 대형 유조선 허베이 스피리트호와 삼성중공업 타워 크레인과 충돌로 원유 12,547 톤이 유출하는 등의 크고 작은 사고가 빈번하게 발생되었다.

The interest of natural chemicals has been increased because of inflection of endocrine disruptor and fatal health danger originated from artificial chemical compounds. The essential oil is one of the representative natural chemicals which can be collected from the most plants and can be applied to high value‐added merchandise such as the antiseptics, anti‐oxidants and deodorants. In this study, essential oil was testified to remove odor such as NH3. In case of the essential oil of a pine leaf, removal efficiency of NH3 was about 100%. The NH3 removal efficiency of the mixed solution (mixture of essential oil and ethanol) was slightly lower than that of pure essential oil and this leads to the conclusion that use of mixture is more economical and effective to control the odor.

Increasing public concerns over odors and air regulations in nonattainment zones necessitate the remediation of a wide range of odorous compounds used for industrial purpose. Currently, spraying technique using neutralizing essential oils is utilized to treat ammonia odors. The chemical analysis was performed to analyze the composition of an essential oil by GC-MS. The monoterpenes in an essential oil react with ammonia by neutralization and their reaction mechanism was elucidated. However, little information is available on the neutralization reaction with rendering air pollutants in detail. The objective of this study was to clarify the possibility of the neutralization of odors sprayed in indoor and determine the removal efficiencies in the misty aerosol by different input odor concentration. It was found that an ammonia was significantly removed by the spraying technique, and the removal efficiency of ammonia was 98 %. The removal efficiencies of ammonia were also studied by the optimal conditions such as temperature and pH.

창포를 이용하여 질소와 인의 농도별, 식물의 생장단계별, 오염수의 체류시간별로 질소와 인의 제거효과를 분석하였던 바, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 체류 1시간 후에 수중의 질소와 인의 함량을 현저히 감소시켰으나, 2~4시간 후에는 감소율이 극히 낮았다. 이러한 현상은 식물의 생장초기, 생장기, 생장최성기에서 동일하였다. 수중에 질소와 인의 함량이 많을수록 제거율이 높았고, 인보다는 질소의 제거효과가 크게 나타났다. 생장최성기에 가장 많은 질소와 인을 제거하였고 다음으로 생장기, 생장초기의 순이었으나, 생장단계간의 차이는 극히 작았다. 동일 포트에 4일 동안 체류시킨 것보다 2일 체류 후에 다른 포트로 시험수를 옮긴 것이 질소와 인의 제거율이 약간 높았다.

This study was carried out to determine the pesticide residues in rice bran, crude rice bran oil and the oil of various stages of refining process. Each samples were analyzed for 41 pesticide residues by multiclass multiresidue methods with GC-ECD, NPD and identified by GC-MSD. Rice bran were detected cypermethrin, diazinon, dichlofluanid, and its level were ranged from 0.01-0.122 ppm. Crude rice bran oil were detected cypermethrin, diazinon, dichlofluanid, dimethoate, etrimfos, flucythrinate, and its level were ranged from 0.015-0.654 ppm. Crude rice bran oil has the higher level of pesticide residues and more varieties of pesticides than rice bran. But pesticide residues in the crude rice bran oil was found to be almost removed when pigment was decolorized by absorption using active carbon and clealy removed by thermolysis for deodorization.

Due to a world trend on renewable energy, biomass that is one of renewable energy resources has to be applied at thermochemical process, actively. However, in commercial plant, one of many problems is an agglomeration production at biomass thermochemical process, because it leads to disturb continuous operation on thermochemical process. Thus, in this study, the EFB (empty fruit bunch), one of palm oil industry by-products was used as a biomass fuel, and washed by water and nitric acid solution (0.1wt.%) with different total washing times for resolving this problem at biomass thermochemical process. After washing, ash content was decreased from 5.9wt.% to 1.53wt.% using all of the washing treatments, and the Alkali & Alkaline Earth Metallic (AAEM) was removed over 80wt.% of total AAEM, such as potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium. Additionally, SEM with XRD was analyzed to confirm the characteristics of produced agglomeration, and the agglomeration production ratio was measured: it revealed that the ratio was resulted in decrease over half, in the case of using all of washed EFBs.

We investigated usefulness of chicken feather as bioadsorbent for removal of hexavalent chromium[Cr(Ⅵ)] and oil from aqueous solution. Chicken feather was chemically treated with DTPA, EDTA, NaOH and SDS, respectively. Among them, EDTA was the most effective in adsorbing Cr(Ⅵ). Cr(Ⅵ) uptake by chicken feather was increased with decreasing pH; the highest Cr(Ⅵ) uptake was observed at pH 2.0. By increasing Cr(Ⅵ) concentration, Cr(Ⅵ) uptake was increased, and maximum Cr(Ⅵ) uptake was 0.34 mmol/g. Cr(Ⅵ) adsorption by chicken feather was well described by Freundlich isotherm than Langmuir isotherm and Freundlich constant(1/n) was 0.476. As the concentration of chicken feather was increased, Cr (Ⅵ) removal efficiency was increased but Cr(Ⅵ) uptake was decreased. Most of Cr(Ⅵ) was adsorbed at early reaction stage(1 h) and adsorption equilibrium was established at 5 h. On the other hand, chicken feather adsorbed effectively oils including bunker-A and bunker-C. In conclusion, our results suggest that chicken feather waste could be used to remove heavy metal and oil; it is a potential candidate for biosorption material.

Magnetite powder for kerosene-based ferrofluid was synthesized by air oxidation of waste acid containing Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions in the pH=11 at 60℃. Stable kerosen-based ferrofluid was prepared by addition of polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether(POENPE) to the magnetite containing water. Dispersion mechanism of an addition POENPE to the magnetite was examined by means of the fraction of solid dispersed FT-IR spectrum. And magnetic properties of kerosen-based ferrofluid were examined by method of Vibrating Sample Magnetometer. In order to remove oil on the water surface by an addition of kerosen-based ferrofluid, the optimum conditions were examined.

최근 중국에서 도입되어 경북 북부지방을 중심으로 재배면적이 확대되고 있는 백출의 재배기술확립 시험의 일환으로 화기제거가 생육과 수량에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 시험 수행 한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 백출의 화기제거에 따른 지상부 생육은 무제거에 비해 화기제거에서 초장은 1.7∼2.5cm정도 화기가 제거된 만큼 짧았으며 엽의 크기, 경수와 경직경은 차이가 없었으나 지상부 생체중은 48∼60% 감소되었다. 2. 백출의 화기제거시기별 화기생체중은 화기제거시기가 늦어질수록 무거워져 개화직후에는 주당 39g으로 지상부 생 체 중의 60%를 차지 하였다. 3. 화기제거에 따른 지하부 생육은 무제거에 비해 화뢰출현기제거(7월 15일)와 개화전제거(8월 20일)에서 근경장, 근경직경 등이 컷으며 건근경수량도 유의하게 증수되었는데 화뢰출현기제거구는 290.5kg/10a으로 무제거구보다 40% 증수되어 가장 많았다. 4. 정유함량은 무제거구 0.71m1/50g에 비해 화뢰출현기제거는 12% 개화전 제거는 9%증가한 것으로 나타났으나 개화후 제거는 차이가 없었다.
