This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (wild yeast mutant), Saccharomyces cerevisiae hFeHLC (ferritin containgig yeast) and chelated Fe diets on the Productivity and egg qualify of laying hens. A total of 245 'Brown Tetra' layers 35 weeks aged was randomly alloted to seven dietary treatments : 1) control diet no iron added, 2) diet supplemented $0.1\%$ wild yeast mutant (YM03), 3) diet supplemented $1.0\%$ wild yeast mutant (YM03), 4) diet supplemented $0.1\%$ ferritin with yeast (YF04), 5) diet supplemented $1.0\%$ ferritin with yeast (YF04), 6) diet supplemented $0.01\%$ chelated Fe and 7) diet supplemented $0.1\%$ chelated Fe. The egg Production rate was significantly increased in layers 134 Fe supplemented diets (p<0.05). Egg weight was significantly reduced in layers fed $0.1\%$ chelated Fe diet (P<0.05). Fe content of egg yolk was significantly increased in $1.0\%$ YF04 and $0.1\%$ chelated Fe treatments (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in shape index, albumin index and yolk index of eggs of layers fed diets Fe supplementation (P>0.05). The haugh unit of eggs was significantly increased in layers fed YM03, YF04 and chelated Fe supplemented diets (p<0.05). TBA value of egg was significantly increased in different iron Fe treatments except of $0.1\%$ YM03 (P<0.05). The yolk cole. of eggs was significantly increased in $1.0\%$ YF04 diet (P<0.05).

The present study was attempted to find the effects of structural properties of phosphorus on the water quality of Gyehwa reservoir in Saemangeum. Relationship of phosphorus fractions between water and sediment properties was closely examined, and a few types of phosphorus were found from the sample sediment as : Saloid-P, Al-P, Fe-P, Ca-P, Red-P and Occd-P. Saloid-P (1.4%), Al-P (0.5%), Fe-P (39.8%), Ca-P (56.6%), Red-P (0.4%), Occd-P (1.3%) were extracted in a mass basis from the sediment of Gyehwa reservoir. Approximately more than 97% of phosphorus were calcium related phosphorus (Ca-P, 56%) and iron bound phosphorus (Fe-P, 39.8%). The Fe-P closely relates with water quality of T-N (r=0.761, p<0.05), $NO_3$-N (r=0.754, p<0.05), $NH_4$-N (r=0.728, p<0.05), T-P (r=0.774, p<0.05) and $PO_4$-P (r=0.767, p<0.05) while the Ca-P did not show any consistent dependency on the water quality. On the other hand, the correlation of Ca-P with $P_2O_5$ was high with r=0.783 (p<0.05) in the sediment. The Fe-P was affected significantly on the Ignition Loss (r=0.569, p<0.05), T-N (r=0.715, p<0.05) and T-P (r=0.983, p<0.01). In the research of correlation between phosphorus fraction and heavy metals in the sediment, Ca-P did not show any specific relationships with heavy metals. The Fe-P showed a significant correlation with As (r=0.817, p<0.01), Cu (r=0.793, p<0.05), Cd (r=0.786, p<0.05), Zn (r=0.738, p<0.05), so that it can be stated that the presence of Fe-P may implicate the volume of various metallic elements.

We examined the effect of simultaneous application of phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) on the phytotoxicity of lettuce in arsenic (As) contaminated soil using response surface methodology (RSM). To stabilize As and supply nutrient into soil, Fe and P were treated, respectively. Water soluble As and P was decreased by Fe application but increased by P application. Through phytotoxicity test, the result showed that only the addition of P affected lettuce root elongation even though both P and Fe were added. The correlation coefficients between root elongation and other indices indicated that the As content in the roots seemed to be the main reason that root growth was impeded. We could verify that the former result was not a passing phenomenon and Fe was necessarily needed to protect secondary pollution by exclusive usage of P fertilizer.

Among various reactions which metal sulfides can undergo in the reducing environment, the lattice exchange reaction was examined in a attempt to selectively remove heavy metal ions contained in the Fe-Coagulants acid solution. We have examined Zeta potential along with pHs to investigate surface characteristics of ${FeS}_{(s)}$. As a result of this experiment, zero point charge(ZPC) of FeS is pH 7 and zeta potential which resulted from solid solution reaction between Pb(II) and ${FeS}_{(s)}$ is similar to that of ${PbS}_{(s)}$. Solubility characteristics of ${FeS}_{(s)}$ is appeared to that dissolved Fe(II) concentration increased in less than pH 4, and also increased with increasing heavy metal concentration. Various heavy metal ions(Pb(II), Cu(II), Zn(II)) contained in Fe-coagulants acid solution were removed selectively more than ninety-five percent in the rang of pH 2.5~10 by ${FeS}_{(s)}$. From the above experiments, therefore, We could know that the products of reaction between heavy metal ions and $FeS_{(S)}$ are mental sulfide such as $PbS_{(S)}$, $CuS_{(S)}$ and $ZnS_{(S)}$.

Fe-22Cr-5AI-X(X=Zr, Y)합금을 1143K, 고온 황화(P$s_{2}$=1.11x$10^{-7}$atm, P$O_{s}$ =3.11x$10^{-20atm}$) 및 황화/산화 (P$s_{2}$=8.31x$10^{-8}$atm, P$O_{s}$ =3.31x$10^{-18atm}$) 환경의 복합가스 분위기에서 1-30시간동안 노출하여 합금표면에 형성된 부식층을 관찰하여 SEM/EDS로 분석하였다. Fe-22Cr-5AI합금은 고온 부식환경에서 부식 생성물의 성장은 포물선법칙을 따르고 주요 성분은 결함이 많고 다공질인 철과 크롬의 황화물[(Fe, Cr)Sx]이므로 고온 내식성이 감소하였다. Zr을 1wt%첨가한 Fe-22Cr-5AI합금의 고온 부식거동은 Y을 1wt%첨가한 합금과 비슷한 거동을 나타내었다. 황화환경에서는 Cr의 선택 황화에 의한 크롬 황화물(CrS)이 생성되고 노출시간의 경과에 따라 (Fe, Cr)Sx나 (Cr, Fe)Sx 등의 황화물의 성장으로 고온 내식성이 감소하였다. 그러나 황화/산화환경에서는 초기에는 알루미늄산화물(A $I_{2}$ $O_{3}$)및 지르코늄산화물(Zr $O_{2}$)등이 생성되어 보호적이었으나 15시간이후 부터 (Fe, Cr)Sx나 (Cr, Fe)Sx 의 황화물의 성장으로 고온 내식성이 감소하였다.

Pure ZnFe₂O₄ and Fe₂O₃-ZnFe₂O₄ hetero-composite spheres were prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis of a solution containing Zn- and Fe-nitrates. Additionally, the sensing characteristics of these spheres in the presence of 5 ppm ethanol, benzene, p-xylene, toluene, and CO (within the temperature range of 275-350 ℃) were investigated. The Fe₂O₃-ZnFe₂O₄ hetero-composite sensor with a cation ratio of [Zn]:[Fe]=1:3 exhibited a high response (resistance ratio = 140.2) and selectivity (response to p-xylene/response to ethanol = 3.4) to 5 ppm p-xylene at 300 ℃, whereas the pure ZnFe₂O₄ sensor showed a comparatively lower gas response and selectivity. The reasons for the superior response and selectivity to p-xylene in Fe₂O₃-ZnFe₂O₄ hetero-composite sensor were discussed in relation to the electronic sensitization due to charge transfer at Fe₂O₃-ZnFe₂O₄ interface and Fe₂O₃-induced catalytic promotion of gas sensing reaction. The sensor can be used to monitor harmful volatile organic compounds and indoor air pollutants.

Local structure refinement of the BaFe1-xSnxO3-y system (x=0.00-0.50) has been carried out with Fe K-edge x-ray absorpion spectroscopic studies. It is found out that the Fe ions are placed in two different symmetric sites such as tetrahedral and octahedral sites in the compounds by comparison with Fe K-edge x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectrum of the γ-Fe2O3 compound as a reference. Small absorption peaks of dipole-forbiden transitions appear at a pre-edge region of 7111 eV due to the existence of Fe ions in the tetrahedral and octahedral sites. The peak intensity decreases with the substitution amount of Sn ion. Three different absorption peaks of 1s→4p dipole-allowed transition appear on the energy region between 7123 and 7131 eV. The peaks correspond to 1s→4p main transition of Fe ions in tetrahedral and octahedral sites and 1s→4p transition followed by the shakedown process of ligand to metal charge transfer. The bond distances between Fe ions in the tetrahedral site and nearest neighboring oxygen atom (Fe-4O), and those in octahedral site (Fe-6O) are determined with the extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis. Two different interatomic distances increase with the substitution amount of Sn ion and also the bond lengths of Fe-4O are shorter than those of Fe-6O in all compounds.

Objective: This study aimed to compare therapeutic efficacy and technical outcomes between adjustable electrode (AE) and conventional fixed electrode (FE) for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of benign thyroid nodules. Materials and Methods: Between 2013 and 2021, RFA was performed on histologically proven benign thyroid nodules. For the AE method, AE length ≥ 1 cm with higher power and < 1 cm with lower power were utilized for ablating feeding vessels and nodules, especially those near anatomical structures, respectively. The therapeutic efficacy (volume reduction rate [VRR], complication rate, and regrowth rate) and technical outcomes (total energy delivery, ablated volume/energy, RFA time, and ablated volume/time) of FE and AE were compared. Continuous parameters were compared using a two-sample t-test or Mann-Whitney U test, and categorical parameters were compared using a chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test. Results: A total of 182 nodules (FE: 92 vs. AE: 90) in 173 patients (mean age ± standard deviation, 47.0 ± 14.7 years; female, 90.8% [157/173]; median follow-up, 726 days [interquartile range, 441-1075 days]) were analyzed. The therapeutic efficacy was comparable, whereas technical outcomes were more favorable for AE. Both electrodes demonstrated comparable overall median VRR (FE: 92.4% vs. AE: 84.9%, P = 0.240) without immediate major complications. Overall regrowth rates were comparable between the two groups (FE: 2.2% [2/90] vs. AE: 1.1% [1/90], P > 0.99). AE demonstrated a shorter median RFA time (FE: 811 vs. AE: 627 seconds, P = 0.009). Both delivered comparable median energy (FE: 42.8 vs. AE: 29.2 kJ, P = 0.069), but AE demonstrated higher median ablated volume/energy and median ablated volume/time (FE: 0.2 vs. AE: 0.3 cc/kJ, P < 0.001; and FE: 0.7 vs. AE: 1.0 cc/min, P < 0.001, respectively). Conclusion: Therapeutic efficacy between FE and AE was comparable. AE demonstrated better technical outcomes than FE in terms of RFA time, ablated volume/energy, and ablated volume/time.

The glass formation and the dissolution property in $P_2O_5-K_2O$-FeO-CuO system were studied. In the batch process, the content of P2O5 was fixed at 60mol% and the other elements were varied from 10~40mol%. The prepared glasses were soaked in the D.I. water up to 13hr and the dissolution properties were investigated with the solutions sampled every 2 hr. The result shows that the $P_2O_5$ was leached out firstly from Phosphate glass system and then Cu and Fe ions were observed according to atmosphere change in solution. ICP shows that the dissolution amount in Phosphate was depended on the glass structure and the highest dissolution amount of CuO and FeO ions was observed when the 10mol% $K_2O$ was added in batch process.

A basic study on the recovery of heavy metals such as Zn, Ni, Cu and Fe ions from wastewater was carried out with the spent iron oxide catalyst, which was used in the Styrene Monomer(SM) production company. The heavy metals could be recovered more than 98％ with the spent iron oxide catalyst. The alkaline components of the spent catalyst could be precipitated the metal ions of the wastewater as metal hydroxides at the higher pH 10.6 in Ni, pH 8.0 in Cu, pH 6.5 in Fe, pH 8.5 in Zn. But the metal ions are adsorbed physically on the surface of the spent catalyst in the range of the pH of the metal hydroxides and pH 3.0, which is the isoelectric point of the iron oxide catalyst.
