Discoloration sensitivities of woods grown in this country haven't reported yet. Therefore we examined discoloration sensitivities of domestic wood specimens to iron (0.1 %, $FeCl_3.6H_2O$), alkali (pH 12.0, NaOH). acid (pH 1.0, $C_2H_2O_4$) and exposing to sunlight (40 hrs), Thirty-six hardwood species were collected and examined. All specimens were prepared from heartwoods of the collected species. But the specimens of 4 Betula species were divided into sapwoods and heartwoods. By iron stain, the color differences (${\Delta}E$) of 21 wood specimens including one Betula sapwood showed above 12.0, which means strong discoloration sensitivities, and of 3 specimens including one Betula sapwood showed below 2.5, which means weak discolorations. The most strong iron discoloration species was Jungkukgulpi-namu (Pterocarya stenoptera). By alkali stain, the color differences (${\Delta}E$) of 3 wood specimens showed above 9.0, which means strong discoloration sensitivities, and of 18 wood specimens including 4 Berula sapwoods showed below 2.5, which means weak discolorations. By acid stain, the color differences (${\Delta}E$) of 6 wood specimens showed above 10.0 which means strong discoloration sensitivities, and of 12 wood specimens including one Betula sapwoods showed below 2.5, which means weak discolorations. By exposing to sunlight, the color differences (${\Delta}E$) of 31 wood specimens including one Betula sapwoods showed below 6.5, which means, strong discoloration sensitivities, and of only one specimens showed below 2.5, which means weak discoloration. The most strong discoloration species by exposing to sunlight was Guirung-namu (Prunus padus). In general, it was shown that hardwoods grown in Korea were most subject to change of color by exposing to sunlight and next were by iron stain. Domestic hardwoods showed some differences in discoloration sensitivities from domestic softwoods previously reported.

The study has objective in raising value of the gray color as a meaningful color suiting sentiments of modern people by expressing the gray color in various perspective utilizing natural dyes that is natural at the same time having aesthetic color tones. For example, the main ingredient used for coloring black and gray color is the pyrogallol tannin and the gray tone dye can be acquired by combining the tannin with iron. In order to find the suitable condition for processing tannin, UV-Vis part absorption spectrum of Gallapple pyrogallol tannin, dye ability based on temperature and time, reflection rate based on concentration, color changes based on acid treatment and alkali treatment, changes on surface based on concentration or metal mordant condition, and lightfastness were measured. Maximum absorption wavelength (${\lambda}_{max}$) of Gallapple tannin was at around 273 nm, while strong absorption was also observed at below 350 nm. Dye ability of Gallapple tannin is done more easily on silk rather than cellulose fibers such as cotton, while the optimum condition for dyeing was observed to be at $60^{\circ}C$, for 20 minutes. As a result of acid treatment, the color of dye material consist highly of gray tones and showed red tone after the alkali treatment. While it was observed that as dye concentration and metal mordant concentration increased the color changed at counter-clockwise direction on the Y-scale of Munsell's scale of colors. Lightfastness was more on a normal fading. I hope this study opens up possibilities towards presenting gray color expressed from tannin as color with diversity and aesthetic value. In future, comparative study between dye expressed from catechol tannin dye materials will be helpful.

Various kinds of native herbage grasses like-Miscanthus sinensis, Arundinella hirta, Cymbopogen geirngii, Themeda japonica etc. are widely distributed in every Korean mountain. So we investigated the availability of native grass, Miscanthus sinensis as a substrate for the production of S. C. P. The results were obtained as follows. 1) At the alkali treatment, NaOH was the most effective with the exclusion of lignin, and pretreated Miscanthus with NaOH appeared to be a good substrate for the microbial growth. 2) When Miscanthus was treated with one to 10％ NaOH, the microbial growth increased in proportion to the increased alkali concentration. Beyond 4％ NaOH, a slight increase was observed. 3) Phosphoric acid, as a neutralizer, was the most effective in cell production after alkali treatment. 4) On the effect of incubation time, the productivity was best found at 60 hours, and the cell weight was 9.23 mg per 1 ml, and the microbial digestibility of substrate was 75.2％.

The aim of this study is to look into the metakaolin replacement ratio of blast furnace slag based alkali activated slag mortar and its mechanical characteristics according to changes in stimulant concentration. Metakaolin has high fineness, and therefore the fluidity becomes lower as the replacement ratio becomes higher. So in this study, a sufficient value of mixing water was provided to secure fluidity for the characteristic experiment, and a different W/B was derived for each specimen in order to make the fluidity identical. A characteristic experiment was conducted according to the mol concentration of NaOH, which was used as the mixing water that affects fluidity. Additionally, compressive strength measurement, observation of inner microstructure through SEM, acid resistance experiment, and neutralization resistance was conducted. The results of this study revealed that for a high concentration NaOH solution to have even fluidity, a high W/B is necessary, and the functions were enhanced, not degraded.

Three USGS rock standards (G-2, W-2, and BHVO-1) are decomposed by three different methods, such as open beaker, microwave oven, and alkali fusion method, to compare the effect of decomposition methods for trace elememt analysis in the rock samples. Solubilized trace elements are measured with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). Generally the analytical results of trace elements between open beaker and microwave digestion method are not different. In case of alkali fusion method, some volatile elements such as Pb, Cu, and Rb are considerably lost. Using acid digestion method, Zr and Hf concentrations are lowered in case that these elements are concentrated in refractory minerals. The concentrations of rare earth elements are generally consistent with the recommended values, but due to large dilution factor, there are some analytical problems in alkali fusion method.

Wool samples were treated by potassium tert-Butoxide(t-BuOK) in anhydrous tert-butanol to remove the bound surface lipid-layer, and the weight loss behaviors in protease solution and dyeabilities of the samples were studies. The C/N ratio of the surface of the t-BuOK-treated wool was shown to be 4.3 from XPS analysis. From SEM pictures any remarkable change in the shape of surface curticle during the proteasw treatment was not observed regardless of prior t-BuOK treatment. Dyeing rate and equilibrium adsorption of Orange II, a typical levelling type acid dye, on wool were not changed by protease or t-BuOK treatment, but those of Milling Cyanine 5R, a typical milling type acid dye, on wool were greatly enhanced by t-BuOK treatment in spite that, from alkali and urea-bisulfite solubilities, no damage on the inner part of wool fiber was expected by t-BuOK treatment.

To improve the quality of coated paper, the continuous research to the coating components and development of alternative latices is required. Recently, amphoteric latex is getting a great concern due to their changable properties of surface charge through controlling pH and some methods have been tried to prepare amphoteric latices. This study was carried out to synthesize amphoteric latex using seeding polymerization method with low concentration emulsifier. Styrene was used as a main monomer in addition to acrylonitrile for a hydrophilic comonomer. acrylic acid for a anionic comonomer and N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate for a cationic comonomer. Particle size and viscosity of latex were greatly affected by addition of acrylic acid and ammonium persulfate as an initiator. Negative charge of latex in alkali condition was changed to zero to positive charge in around pH 4.

The aim of the research is to suggest an economical and sustainable method of reducing pH of recycled aggregate as an embanking and a covering materials. Because of the unhydrated cement based materials on the surface of the recycled aggregate, it causes a severe problem on environment with leaked high alkali water from embankment and covering by using recycled aggregate. In this research, to reduce the pH of recycled aggregate, regarding the recycled fine aggregate, eight different methods were tested and analyzed with three different categorized: natural treatment, artificial treatment, and chemical treatment. From the results of experiment, it was considered that the most efficient method of reducing pH of recycled aggregate was the chemical treatment using acid such as $CO_2$ acceleration or monoammonium phosphate (MAP), and diammonium phosphate (DAP). Especially, using MAP and DAP, fertilizers, is the most efficient method of reducing pH with its time duration and performance.
