This study is to evaluate the performance of draw solutions in the water reuse of sewage discharge water using fertilizer drawn forward osmosis. Feed water used in all experiments was the effluent from secondary sedimentation tank in activated sludge process. Considering osmotic pressure, solubility, and pH, $NH_4H_2PO_4$, KCl, $KNO_3$, $NH_4Cl$, $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, $NH_4NO_3$, $NH_4HCO_3$, and $KHCO_3$ were screened from a comprehensive lists of fertilizer. Their performances were evaluated in terms of water permeate flux and reverse solute flux. KCl showed the highest average water flux followed by $NH_4Cl$, $NH_4NO_3$, $KNO_3$, $KHCO_3$, $NH_4HCO_3$, $NH_4H_2PO_4$, and $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$. Using KCl as draw solution, the average water permeate flux was 13.49 LMH. There was no big difference in osmotic pressure between the effluent from secondary sedimentation tank and deionized water. $NH_4H_2PO_4$ showed the lowest reverse solute flux followed by $NH_4Cl$, $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, $KNO_3$, $NH_4HCO_3$, and $NH_4NO_3$. Using $NH_4H_2PO_4$ as draw solution, the reverse solute flux was $4.96{\times}10^{-3}mmol/m^2{\cdot}sec$.

The layered organic-inorganic hybrid compounds($C_6H_5CH_2NH_3)_2CuCl_4$ and ($NH_3C_6/H_4C_2H_4_6/H_4NH_3)CuCl_4$ have been directly synthesized. From the X-ray diffraction data and the organic guest size, the orientation of the intercalated organic amine was determined. The inorganic sheets consist of $CuCl_4^{2-}$layers of comer-sharing octahedra copper chloride. The protonated organic amine was intercalated into the $CuCl_4^{2-}$layers with bilayer structure for ($C_6H_5CH_2NH_3)_2CuCl_4$ and monolayer structure for ($NH_3C_6/H_4C_2H_4_6/H_4NH_3)CuCl_4$.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ on pH stabilization in deep flow culture system using tap water, and to determine the optimum range of NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ in culture solution. The pH of tap water is 7.5. The higher the concentration of NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ was, the more the pH of nutrient solution was decreased. In NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ 4/3-5/3 me/$\ell$, the pH of nutrient solution was 6-7.5 during the experiment. The highest brix(%) was obtained in NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ 5/3-6/3 me/$\ell$. Leaf length, leaf width and stem-base diameter were highest in NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ 2/3 me/$\ell$. The L and b＊ values were highest and the a＊ value was lowest in NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ 8/3 me/$\ell$. Toxicity symptom of ammonium appeared in NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ 8/3 me/$\ell$. It suggests that there was the relationship between leaf color and growth condition. It was concluded that NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ 2/3 me/$\ell$ was good before harvest stage and NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ 5/3-6/3 me/$\ell$ at harvest stage.

건축 구조재료로 사용되는 소나무의 화재조건을 알아보기 위하여 콘칼로리미터(ISO 5660-1)를 이용하여 연소성질을 분석하였다. 자연 건조된 소나무에 $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, $NH_4H_2PO_4$, $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ 등의 암모늄염을 이용하여 난연성을 부가하였다. 소나무의 함수율은 10.2%였으며 초기 열방출 곡선은 $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$인 경우 완만하게 증가하였으며 가장 좋은 난연성을 보였다. $HRR_{peak}$ 값은 무처리된 경우 $217\;kW/m^2$, $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, $NH_4H_2PO_4$, $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$인 경우에는 각각 $190\;kW/m^2$, $188\;kW/m^2$, $166\;kW/m^2$로 나타났다. 즉 $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$로 처리된 경우 23.5%의 감소현상이 관찰되었다. $HRR_{peak}$ 도달 시간은 무처리된 시험편(290s) 및 $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, $NH_4H_2PO_4$, $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$으로 처리된 시험편은 각각 298s, 263s, 313s로 나타났다. 연기 발생속도는 사용한 암모늄염 중 $(NH_4)_2SO_4$로 처리된 시험편이 가장 작게 관찰되어 저발연성 감연제 역할을 하는 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to examine the adsorption capacity of $NH_4\;^+-N$ by natural zeolite for the purpose of investigating the possibility for $NH_4\;^+-N$ eliminator of Korean natural zeolite. The dominant clay minerals of zeolite were clinoptilolite and mordenite. The reaction of $NH_4\;^+-N$ adsorption by zeolite reached equilibrium after 4hrs. The amount of $NH_4\;^+-N$ adsoption by zeolite was not significantly affected by the particle size of zeolite. The order of $NH_4\;^+-N$ adsorption by zeolite according to exchangeable cations was Na-> Ca> K-saturated zeolite. The amount of $NH_4\;^+-N$ adsorption by zeolite was increased with increasing pH of solution and the ratio of zeolite to the volume of solution. The isothermal curvel of $NH_4\;^+-N$ adsorption by zeolite was conformed to Langmuir equation.

Crisphead lettuce(Lactuca sativa L.) was grown in NFT to investigate the effects of NO$_3$-N and NH$_4$-N ratio in nutrient solution and elevated $CO_2$ treatment in the crisphead lettuce growth. This experiment has been conducted under three different ratios of NO$_3$-N:NH$_4$-N(100:0, 75:25, 50:50) with two $CO_2$ concentration (control, 1500ppm ). The results are as follows; 1. In the case of not controlling pH and EC in nutrient solution, pH was gradually increased in NO$_3$-N:NH$_4$-N=100:0 treatment but rapidly decreased in the nutrient solution 2. Daily changes of NO$_3$-N and NH$_4$-N were observed without controlling the nutrient solution. In the treatments of NO$_3$-N:NH$_4$-N ratios were 75:25 and 50:50, NO$_3$-N absorption rates were 27.7% and 26.1%, while NH$_4$-N absorption rates were 87.9% and 71.2%, respectively. 3. There was little differences in total nitrogen of leaves. However phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium contents were highly shown in the treatment of $CO_2$ 1500ppm and 100:0 ratio of NO$_3$-N:NH$_4$-N. 4. Higher $CO_2$ assimilation rate was shown in plants grown under $CO_2$ 1500ppm and 100:0 ratio of NO$_3$-N:NH$_4$-N. It dropped significantly with the increase of NH$_4$- N rates in nutrient solution. 5. Fresh weight, leaf number, root length and root weight of crisphead lettuce were far better in the treatment of $CO_2$ 1500ppm and 100:0 ratio of NO$_3$-N:NH$_4$-N. Growth differences by $CO_2$ elevation were not shown in other NO$_3$-N:NH$_4$-N treatments. 6. The highest nitrate contents of leaves were shown in NO$_3$-N single treatment but shown the lowest vitamin C contents. Nitrate contents of leaves were decreased by $CO_2$ but the effect was slight treatment.

Glucose - induced arginine transport system was induced by a exogenous application of NH$_4$^+ ion. The uptake rate of arginine (Arg) depended on the external NH$_4$^+ ion concentration. The uptake rate was inhibited by the presence of NH$_4$^+ ion within 1 min, whereas it increased maximally after 30 min. Glucose and NH$_4$^+ ion induced the same arginine transport system. Km value of Arg transport systems was 2 $\mu$M, and V_(max) was 60 $\mu$mol^(-1) . h . g fresh weight^(-1) for NH$_4$^+ ion and 174 $\mu$mol^(-1) . h . g fresh weight^(-1) for glucose induced transport system. But, the transport system of Glu for glucose and NH$_4$^(-1) ion induced had different Km values. Km value of Glu was 285 $\mu$M for glucose - and 58 $\mu$M for NH$_4$^+ ion induced transport system. Thus, NH$_4$^+ ions play a important role as inducer for the glutamine transport system. NH$_4$^+ ion induced glutamine system was inhibited over 90% by cycloheximide. We concluded that a new carrier protein for glutamine was induced by NH$_4$^+ ion.

The adsorption of $NH_4\;^+$ and $Zn^{2+}$ by four Korean zeolites, the major species of which are clinoptilolite, clinoptilolite with mordenite, mordenite with clinoptilolite, and mordenite was measured in different concentrations of solutions of $NH_4\;^+$ and $Zn^{2+}$, and their mixtures. The adsorption of $NH_4\;^+$ was greater than that $Zn^{2+}$ far all samples at the concentrations of the added solutions from $1\;to\;7{\times}10^{-3}N$ and this difference was greater at the higher concentrations. Also, $Zn^{2+}$ adsorption by samples was decreased by the presence of $NH_4\;^+$, but that of $NH_4\;^+$ by the presence of $Zn^{2+}$ was not. The extent of $NH_4\;^+$ selectivity among samples was increased in order of clinoptilolite with mordenite$NH_4\;^+$ adsorbed by six successive equilibrations with the solution containing both $NH_4\;^+$ and $Zn^{2+}$ each at a concentration of $3{\times}10^{-3}N$ were in range from 43.7 to 50.4 me/100g, whereas those amounts of $Zn^{2+}$ were in the range from 6.6 to 17.0 me/100g. It was suggested from these results that mordenite and clinoptilolite, particularly the former, can be used for removal of $NH_4\;^+$ from municipal wastewater and those zeolites treated with wastewater can be applied to agricultural land.

This research was conducted to evaluate the impact of various pre-planting $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ ratios on the growth of plug seedlings of 'Bool-am No.3' Chinese cabbage. With fixation of the pre-planting N concentrations to $300mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ in a peatmoss+coir dust+perlite (3.5:3.5:3, v/v/v) medium, the $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ ratios were varied to 0:100, 27:73, 50:50, 73:27, 100:0. Then, the each of root media containing various ratios of $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ as well as equal concentrations of other essential nutrients was packed into 72-cell plug trays. After seeds of 'Bool-am No.3' Chinese cabbage were sown, the seedling growths were measured 2 and 4 weeks after sowing. The weekly analysis of root media and end-crop tissue analysis for mineral nutrients 4 weeks after seed sowing were also conducted. As the seedlings grew up, the pH of the root media increased, however ECs in all treatments of $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ ratios decreased. The concentrations of K, Ca and Mg in root media were higher in the treatments of $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ (100:0) and $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ (73:27) than those of $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ (0:100) and $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ (27:73) 2 weeks after seed sowing. But the concentrations of K, Ca, Mg and Zn were get lowered in all treatments and the differences among treatments were not significant 4 weeks after sowing. The highest $NH_4{^+}$ and lowest $NO_3{^-}$ concentrations of the root media were observed in the $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ (100:0) among all treatments. Contrary to these, the treatment of $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ (0:100) had the lowest $NH_4{^+}$ and highest $NO_3{^-}$ concentrations. The seedling growth in terms of fresh and dry weights of aerial part were the highest in the treatment of $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ (23:73) at 2 weeks after sowing and those of $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ (50:50) at 4 weeks after sowing. The survival rate of seedlings in $NH_4{^+}:NO_3{^-}$ (100:0) treatment were 19% and the growth of aerial part 4 weeks after sowing was the poorest among all treatments tested. The results mentioned above indicate that the pre-planting $NH_4{^+}$ ratio in inert media should not exceed 25% in plug stage 1 through 3 (until 2 true leaf development) and 50% in plug stage 4 (after 2 true leaves to transplant).

The purpose of this research was to investigate the characteristics and the cleaning efficiency on HN(sub)4OH solutions added with H(sub)2O(sub)2 and surfactants. NH(sub)4OH solutions added with surfactants did not show much changes in pH and redox potential (Eh) as a function of NH(sub)4OH concentration compared with NH(sub)4OH solution. However H(sub)2O(sub)2 added NH\ulcornerOH solutions showed the decrease of pH and the increase of Eh as the concentration of NH(sub)4OH increased. The decrease of surface tension from 72 dynes/cm to 38 dynes/cm was observed in solutions added with surfactant but not in H(sub)2O(sub)2. The etch rates of silicon in NH(sub)4OH solutions(NH(sub)4OH:H(sub)2O= 1 : 5) showed at least 50 times higher than those in H(sub)2O(sub)2 and surfactant added NH(sub)4OH solutions(NH(sub)4OH:H(sub)2O(sub)2= 1 : 1 : 5) solution removed the PSL particles (0.67$\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter) on Si wafers effectively at all temperatures investigated. NH(sub)4OH solution added with a surfactant could not remove particles at room temperature, however it was possible to remove particles at higher temperatures, 5$0^{\circ}C$ and 8$0^{\circ}C$.
