This study was conducted to develope the new solid separating system which can be efficiently and economically removed the solid parts in high pollutants concentration of pig slurry. The pollutants concentration, BOD$_{5}$ , COD and SS of the slurry used in this study was 15,990($\pm$2,389)mg/l, 20,004($\pm$5,512)mg/l and 26,486($\pm$5,935)mg/l, respectively. After removal of solid part in slurry, the pollutants concentration, BOD$_{5}$, COD and SS was change into 5,617($\pm$690)mg/l, 5,553($\pm$633)mg/land 1,456($\pm$341)mg/l, respectively in the Fixed biological membrane tank. The reduction of the pollutants concentration of suspend liquid through membrane will be allowed to greatly improve the water purification by an Activated sludge method. This separating system consisted of a temporary storage, a circulating tank and a Fixed Biological membrane tank. A temporary storage which has a draining system of screw type and an aeration device played a tremendous role in draining the solid by filled an aeration of 0.3 l/min. A Fixed Biological membrane tank of which a styrofoam filled in a 2/3 volume as a Biological media was fixed by a stainless steel net (pore size : 0.5mm) to separate the liquid layer of influx in them. The separating system efficiency factors were the speed of screw motor, cycle number of slurries in a circulating tank and moisture contents of solid effluent through the screw path. Although the pollutants concentration was very variable in temporary storage, the final concentration of $BOD_5$ and SS, except COD of the suspended liquid in a Fixed biological membrane were not different regardless of cycle number of a circulating tank. Moisture contents of effluent from temporary storage was 73% under the speed 1 ppm of screw motor and 62% under the 1/4rpm of it.

To investigate the textural and physical characteristics of WSF(whole soybean flour) tofu affected by coagulant and its concentration, $CaCl_2$, $CaSO_4$, $GDL(glucono-{\delta}\;lactone)$, $MgCl_2$, and some mixed coagulants were used in this study. Yields of WSF tofu coagulated with $CaSO_4$ and GDL were ranged 4.3-4.5(g/g WSF), but common tofu was 2.2-3.0(g/g soybean). As the water addition ratio increased, L and a value were increased while heating time increased, b value increased. L value of WSF tofu was lower and b value was higher than conventional tofu and 4 commercial tofus. Kinds of coagulant and its concentration significantly affected to textural properties of WSF tofu. As the concentration of coagulant increase, the hardness increased in most all coagulants. WSF tofu coagulated with $CaSO_4$ and GDL recorded low hardness and adhesiveness, and high springiness among the used coagulants at the same concentration. As the hardness increased, the gumminess and chewiness increased in most all coagulants. As coagulation temperature and molding pressure increase, hardness also increased. WSF tofu coagulated with 0.3% $CaSO_4+GDL$ was the most similar in the textural properties with conventional tofu and 4 commercial tofus. WSF tofu coagulated with 0.3% of $CaSO_4+GDL$ at $85^{\circ}C$, 10 times water addition, 5min. heating and $25.0g/cm^2$ molding pressure recorded the highest score in the sensory evaluation.

This study was carried out estimating the dry deposition flux of $SO_2$at eight urban areas in Korea during one year of 1996. To calculate the deposition flux, deposition velocities were calculated by turbulence parameters estimated from routine meteorological data. Also, hourly averaged $SO_2$concentrations which calculated from air pollution monitoring data of each city were used. The dry deposition velocities were mostly higher in the coastal areas than the other areas, which would be caused by relatively strong wind. And, they were high in the daytime because of turbulence activities. The deposition flux of $SO_2$is mainly related to the atmospheric concentration. The annual average $SO_2$concentration and the deposition flux were 22.62ppb and 1510.52g/$\textrm{km}^2$/hr at Pusan respectively. Also, the flux was higher in winter than other season, which was a significant contribution of exhausted fuel for heating. While the deposition velocity was high to 0.688cm/sec at Yosu in case of strong wind and small cloud cover, the deposition flux was high to 1597.4g/$\textrm{km}^2$/hr at Pusan in case of weak wind and small cloud cover.

Low-salinity water based polymerflooding (LSPF) is one of promising enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method that has the synergetic effect of combining polymer injection method and low-salinity water injection method. In order to maximize EOR efficiency, it is essential to design low-salinity water appropriately considering the properties of polymer. In this aspect, the main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of pH and $SO_4{^{2-}}$ ion which one of PDI (Potential Determining Ion) on oil production when applying LSPF to carbonate oil reservoir. First, the stability and adsorption of polymer molecule were analyzed in different pH of injection water and $SO_4{^{2-}}$ concentration in injection water. As a result, regardless of pH and $SO_4{^{2-}}$ concentration, when $SO_4{^{2-}}$ ion was contained in injection water, the stability of polymer solution was obtained. However, from the result of polymer retention analysis, in neutral state of injection water, since $SO_4{^{2-}}$ interfered the adsorption of polymer, the adsorption thickness of polymer was thinner as $SO_4{^{2-}}$ concentration was higher. On the other hand, when injection water was acidic as pH 4, the amount of polymer adsorption increased with the injection of polymer solution, so the mobility of polymer solution was greatly lowered. From the results of wettability alteration due to low-salinity water effect, in the case of neutral injection water injected, as $SO_4{^{2-}}$ concentration was increased, more oil which attached on rock surface was detached, altering wettability from oil-wet to water-wet. On the other hand, in acidic condition, due to complex effect of rock dissolution and polymer adsorption, wettability of the entire core system was less altered relatively to neutral condition. Therefore, it was evaluated that better EOR efficiency was obtained when injecting low-salinity water based polymer solution containing high concentration of $SO_4{^{2-}}$ with neutral condition, enhancing the oil production up to 12.3% compared to low-salinity water injection method.

This in vitro study was employed to clarify the effects of several pollutants i.e. $SO_2$, fluoride, cadmium(Cd), aluminum(Al) and NaCl, on the organogenesis and growth responses of shoot-tip, stem and multiple-buds segments derived from hypocotyl or cotyledon culture of petunia seedlings. ${Na_2}{SO_3}$levels of more than 200$\mu{g}$/ml had significantly reduced organogenesis, growth, and chlorophyll content. The injuries caused by ${Na_2}{SO_3}$, concentration of more than 400$\mu{g}$/ml were alleviated by increasing hydrogenion concentration of medium, indicating some relationship between two factors. Organogenesis was not affected by the fluoride concentration up to 100ppm in the media, but the growth and chlorophyll content were greatly reduced by the fluoride. The effect of Cd depended on the explant sources used for the culture; 1.0ppm was effective for fresh weight increase in shoot tip culture, and 3.0ppm in stem segments culture. Organogenesis and growth were greatly reduced by more than 10.0 Cd treatment. Growth and formation of shoots were better with Na conc. of 0.3% compared to control, but those of roots were inhibited. Na concentration goes over 1.0%, organogenesis and subsequent growth were inhibited, and chlorophyll synthesis was drastically reduced. Chlorophyll content was increased on the medium supplemented with Al 50$\mu{g}$/ml compared to control. However the formation and growth of shoots were greatly inhibited with more than 400$\mu{g}$/ml and roots were not produced at all.

In the briquet-burning hot water boiler the $SO_x$-dew point is calculated and found to be between $130^{\circ}C\;and\;154^{\circ}C$. The corrosion rate depends on the surface temperature and the concentration of the condensate on the surface. The concentration of the condensate is decided acoording to the difference detween $SO_x$-dew point and the surface temperature. When the surface temperature is $80^[\circ}C$, the concentration of the condensate is also high (0.15N). Therefore the high concentration and high temperature promote the high corrosion rate of $14{\times}13^{-3}g/100cm^2{\cdot}hr$ on the SS41 material. On the other hand, when the surface temperatures are $60^{\circ}C\;and\;40^{\circ}C$, the concentrations and the co..sion rates are reduced dramatically to $0.11\;N,\;8.6{\tiems}10^{-3}g/100cm^2{\cdot}hr$ and $5{\tiems}10^{-4}g/100cm^2{\cdot}hr$ respectively.

The concentration of air pollution in a large city such as Pusan has been increased every years due to the increase on fuel consumption at factories and by vehicles as well as the gravitation of the population. In this study, we have analyzed $NO_2$ concentration data and various data of meteorological factors during 1994-1997 to investigate the characteristics of $NO_2$ concentration and how the high $NO_2$ concentration is generated under the meterological condition. According to the study, $NO_2$ peak concentration at most sites occured about 1h later after the rush hour. In the characteristics of emissions in sites, sinpyeong-dong was highly contributed to point source while the other sites were highly contributed to line source. The high $NO_2$ concentration had high generation probability when temperature contained typical seasonal characteristics and wind speed was low. Using the relationship between meteorological factors and the daily average $NO_2$ concentration, correlation analysis was practiced. the seasonal variation of the daily average $NO_2$ concentration was correlated with air temperature, solar radiation and wind speed, but the correlation coefficient between meteorological factors and the daily average $NO_2$ concentration was not so much high. Thus we have known that the daily average $NO_2$ concentration is partially explained by meteorological factors.

The experiments were conducted to examine the injuries of $SO_2$, $NH_3$, and $SO_2$ and NH3 mixed gas to the germination and the growth of plants. Six kinds of plants were used as the material. These plants seeds were treated with the gases for five days. Rate of the germination and the growth in height of varying plants were different according to the components of the gases. The critical concentration of the gases for both the germination and the growth were in 5ppm of $SO_2$, 50ppm of $NH_3$, and 50ppm $SO_2$ and 50ppm $NH_3$ mixed gases. When a low concentration of $SO_2$ was treated together with NH3, especially it was reduced to 60 percent of the damage in the germination and the growth. In the treatemnt with $SO_2$, the germination of the seeds which soaked in water for 24 hours reduced the injuries more 40 percent than those which for one hour. It was observed that the seeds with thick coasts or with originally intact coats were suffered but little damaged by the gases, and the external symptoms of an injury were shown, at first, in water pore, and then, in guard cell on the leaves.

Gordona sp. MS6, desulfurizing petroleum, can convert dibenzothiophene (DBT) to 2-hydroxybiphenyl (2-HBP) and sulfate. In this study, the effect of DBT degradation product on DBT desulfurization activity was investigated. When $Na_2$SO$_4$ and DBT were simultaneously added in the medium sulfur sources, specific growth rate of strain MS6 was doubled compared to not adding $Na_2$SO$_4$. But, sulfate inhibited DBT desulfurization rate, furthermore, when 0.05 g/L $Na_2$SO$_4$ was supplied DBT desulfurization rate decreased down to 40%. When 2-HBP and its derivative, 2, 2'-dihydroxybiphenyl (DHBP) were not added, DBT desulfurization rate was 5.0 $\mu$mol L$^{-1}$ㆍh$^{-1}$. With the increase of 2-HBP and DHBP concentration, DBT desulfurization rate was decreased. No DBT desulfurization activity of Gordona sp. MS6 was observed when initial concentration was over 0.15 mM 2-HBP and 0.8 mM DHBP [Gordona sp., Desulfurization, Dibenzothiophene, 2-Hydroxybiphenyl, Sulfate].
