High concentrations of HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ (bicarbonate ion) in hydroponic water lead to high pH and to change in solubility, and consequently inhibition of absorption of available iou. An adequate and practical method is needed to remove HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ in the water fur hydroponics. to compare the efficiency of HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ removal, the effect of injecting HNO$_3$, H$_3$PO$_4$ or H$_2$SO$_4$ was tested. Acid injection was effective to remove HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ Based on the assumption that an equivalent of HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ ion is neutralized by an equivalent of acid, KHCO$_3$ was dissolved in a double distilled water at 50, 100, 150, 200 or 250 mg.L$^{[-10]}$ concentration and either HNO$_3$, H$_3$PO$_4$ or H$_2$SO$_4$ was injected at a certain ratio, and the resulting pH change and HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ ion removal was measured. According to the results obtained, HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ in hydroponic water was titrated, and concentration of the residual HCO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ ion well correlated with the amount of acid injected.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of surface treatments on the shear bond strength between new and old composites. Circular cavities prepared on the center of acrylic resin mold and the prepared cavities were filled with composite resin. They randomly assigned into control group and 8 groups according to the difference in surface treatments of old composites; Control group: no surface treatment, Group 1: surface treated with #120 SiC paper & bonding agent, Group 2: surface treated with #400 SiC paper & bonding agent, Group 3: surface treated with #120 SiC paper, 32% $H_3PO_4$ & bonding agent, Group 4: surface treated with #400 SiC paper, 32% $H_3PO_4$ & bonding agent, Group 5: surface treated with #120 SiC paper, primer & bonding agent, Group 6: surface treated with #400 SiC paper, primer & bonding agent, Group 7: surface treated with #120 SiC paper, 32% $H_3PO_4$, primer & bonding agent, Group 8: surface treated with #400 SiC paper, 32% $H_3PO_4$, primer & bonding agent. New composites were applicated on the old composites of experimental groups. The shear bond strengths for the experimental specimen were measured and the results were analyzed by using one way ANOVA. The observations of surface morphology after SiC paper roughening and debonded surface morphology after shear bond strength test were done by SEM. The results were as follows; 1. Shear bond strengths for specimens roughened with #120 SiC paper matching with the particle size of coarse diamond bur were significantly higher than those for the specimens with #400 SiC paper(P<0.05). By SEM, the surface of the specimens roughened with #120 SiC paper was more irregular than the specimens with #400 SiC paper. 2. Shear bond strengths for specimens treated with 32% $H_3PO_4$ etchant, primer, bonding resin were significantly higher than those for specimens treated with 32% $H_3PO_4$ and bonding resin(P<0.05). 3. Shear bond strengths for the specimens treated with 32% $H_3PO_4$ etchant and bonding resin were significantly higher than those for specimens treated with only bonding resin(P<0.05). There was no remarkable change of surface morphology after 32% $H_3PO_4$ etching. 4. It was possible to observe mixed fracture patterns (the cohesive fracture of old composite and the adhesive fracture between old and new composite) in the specimens roughened with #120 SiC paper, but almost adhesive fracture in the specimens roughened with #400 SiC paper.

In this study, nanosized TPA-silicalite-1 was synthesized with a suitable molar composition of TPAOH: $SiO_2$: $H_2O$ for the development of zeolite ceramic membranes to utilize as gas separation. As silica sources, TEOS, LUDOX AS-40 and CAB-O-SIL were used with the starting material of TPAOH. $NaH_2PO_4$, and a variety of acids and bases were used as promoters after TPAOH, $SiO_2$, $H_2O$ gel synthesis. To decrease synthesis time, a two step temperature change method was applied to the synthesis of TPA-silicalite-1 at a low temperature. TPA-silicalite-1 synthesized was analyzed with XRD, SEM, BET and TGA. As a result, TPA-silicalite-1 powders with a particle size of 100 nm and a specific surface area of $416m^2/g$ were obtained as optimum synthesis conditions when the two stage temperature change method was used with $NaH_2PO_4$ as promoter.

In order to treat paddy soils contaminated by Pb, Cd, and As near the abandoned mine, $H_2PO_4$ was used for stabilization of Pb ($PO_4$/Pb mole ratio of 2/1). In addition, $CaCO_3$ and $FeSO_4$ were used as stabilizers for treating Cd and As (2% w/w), respectively. Leaching tests were conducted with artificial rain in the column to assess the heavy metal stabilization efficiency. The mass of heavy metals in the effluents passed through the columns were analyzed. The remaining heavy metals in the soils were also analyzed as Korean soil standard method, phytoavailability test and sequential extraction test. Lead in the effluent was not detected when $H_2PO_4$ was used as a stabilizer. This result suggests that $H_2PO_4$ is efficient for Pb stabilization. In addition results of sequential extraction scheme suggest that heavy metals are present as residual forms which is not easily extracted.

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.

${CO_3}^{2-}$ containing whisker-like hydroxyapatite powders were synthesized byhomogeneous precipitation method using urea, Dicalcium phosphate anhdrate[DCPA; $CaHPO_4$] and octacalcium phosphate [OCP; $Ca_8H_2(PO_4_)6\cdot5H_20$]were obtained as precursors and they transformed to high crystalline hydroxyapatites at pH 5.62, and 6.54 respectively. According to the condition of the final pH in the solutions for the solution products and urea contents OCP was remained. When the solution product of $Ca^{2-}$ and ${PO_4}^{3-}$ was $1.5\times 10^4$[$mM^2$] and the content of urea was 0.25 mol.$dm^{-3}$ well crystallized whisker-like hydroxyapatite tens of micrometer in length was obtained. By heat treatment DCPA and OCP were decomposed into $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate [$\beta$-TCP ; $\beta$-$Ca_3{PO_4}_2$] and $\beta$-dicalcium phosphate [$\beta$-DCP ;$\beta$-$Ca_2P_2O_4}_2$]. And well-crystallized hydroxyapatite was partially decomposed into $\beta$-TCP at $800^{\circ}C$.

Spherical $Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3$ (LVP) and carbon-coated LVP with a monoclinic phase for the cathode materials are synthesized by a hydrothermal method using $N_2H_4$ as the reducing agent and saccharose as the carbon source. The results show that single phase monoclinic LVP without impurity phases such as $LiV(P_2O_7)$, $Li(VO)(PO_4)$ and $Li_3(PO_4)$ can be obtained after calcination at $800^{\circ}C$ for 4 h. SEM and TEM images show that the particle sizes are $0.5{\sim}2{\mu}m$ and the thickness of the amorphous carbon layer is approximately 3~4 nm. CV curves for the test cell are recorded in the potential ranges of 3.0~4.3 V and 3.0~4.8 V at a scan rate of $0.01mV\;s^{-1}$ and at room temperature. At potentials between 3.0 and 4.8 V, the third $Li^+$ ions from the carbon-coated LVP can be completely extracted, at voltages close to 4.51 V. The carbon-coated LVP exhibits an initial specific discharge capacity of $118mAh\;g^{-1}$ in the voltage region of 3.0 to 4.3 V at a current rate of 0.2 C. The results indicate that the reducing agent and carbon source can affect the crystal structure and electrochemical properties of the cathode materials.

A study was carried out to investigate the control effect of sodium and potassium phosphates, sodium citrate and three different salts mixtures on kimchi fermentation when they were added into half-fermented kimchi in the concentration range of $0.001{\sim}0.01\;M$. The salts mixtures added were sodium phosphates mixture(CA-A), addition of $NaNO_2$, Ca-EDTA and BHA to CA-A(CA-B) and substitution of BHA with sodium citrate in CA-B. The results showed that sodium phosphates and sodium citrate significantly inhibited the kimchi fermentation while potassium phosphate had little effect. The order of control effect was $Na_3PO_4-Na_2HPO_4-sodium\;citrate-NaH_2PO_4-K_2HPO_4-KH_2PO_4$. Among the salts mixtures, CA-A showed the most reducing effect in the fermentation rate followed by CA-C and CA-A. The mixture of CA-C could extend the time of holding pH $4.2{\sim}4.4$ by approximately 6 times at $4{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ when it was compared to control. The microbial growth study of total and Leuconostoc mesenteroides also showed a very significant decrease in their numbers.

Spherical nanosized cobalt powder with an average size of 150-400 nm was successfully prepared at room temperature from cobalt sulfate heptahydrate ($CoSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$). Wet chemical reduction method was adopted to synthesize nano cobalt powder and hypophosphorous acid ($H_3PO_2$) was used as reduction agent. Both the HCP and the FCC Co phase were developed while $CoSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ concentration ranged from 0.7 M to 1.1 M. Secondary phase such as $Co(OH)_2$ and $CO_3O_4$ were also observed. Peaks for the crystalline Co phase having HCP and FCC structure crystallized as increasing the concentration of $H_3PO_2$, indicating that the amount of reduction agent was enough to reduce $Co(OH)_2$. Consequently, a homogeneous Co phase could be developed without second phase when the $H_3PO_2/CoSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ ratio exceeded 7.

Struvite의 최적 생성조건은 NH$_4$-N의 초기농도에 관계없이 모두 NH$_4^+$, PO$_4^{3-}$ 및 Mg$^{2+}$가 등몰비이고 pH 10.5이었다. Struvite 침전반응에서 NH$_4$-N 및 PO$_4$-P 제거율에 미치는 struvite seeding 효과는 습윤상태의 struvite를 seeding할 경우 그 효과가 거의 없었으나 건조된 struvite를 seeding할 경우 NH$_4$-N의 제거율은 증가되지만 PO$_4$-P의 제거율은 감소되는 경향을 나타냈다. 이는 건조과정에서 struvite의 NH$_4$-N가 휘산되어 소실되었기 때문이다. Mg와 P원으로서 struvite의 재이용을 위한 적정 건조온도는 100$^{\circ}C$ 이하였으며 그 이상 온도에서는 struvite가 $NH_4MgPO_4\cdot6H_2O$형에서 MgPO$_4$형으로 상전이점에 따라 struvite seeding에 의한 NE$_4$-N의 제거율이 현저히 감소되었다. 건조된 struvite는 초기 NH$_4$-N의 몰농도 대비 50%를 seeding할 경우 60% 이상의 NH$_4$-N를 제거하였으며, seeding량을 150%로 증가시킬 경우 90% 이상의 NH$_4$-N 제거율을 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 struvite를 반복 재사용할 경우 재사용 횟수에 비례하여 NH$_4$-N의 제거율은 감소하는 경향을 보여 재사용 횟수가 제한적임을 알 수 있었다.
