A pot experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of a newly developed micronutrient fertilizer made of local mineral ores by the molten process. Chinese cabbage was used as the test crop and cultured on sandy loam soil to be highly responsive to applied micronutrients. The following results have been obtained from the experiment. 1. By the application of micronutrient fertilizer, the yield of chinese cabbage was increased about 30 to 40 percent compared to control. 2. Boron uptake by plants was remarkably increased in micronutrient fertilizer treatment, but the uptake of the others was not significantly. 3. After cultivation, boron content was high in micronutrient fertilizer treatment, however, the others was same as control.

During the commissioning period in Tonghae thermal power plant which is the largest circulating fluidized bed boiler in the nation, a considerable amount of clinker was formed at FBAC and seal pot. Various attempts, for example, concentration analysis, surface phenomena, thermal characterization, and crystal structure of ash, bed sand, limestone, clinker, and mixture of each gradients have been studied to identify the causes of clinker formed in circulating fluidized bed boiler. As the results, the characterization of black particles in which separated from the clinker is more similar to that of bed sand, on the other hand, white particles are more similar to ash. In addition, the sintering temperature of sand is over $1,200^{\circ}C$ and this temperature was decreased as limestone is added to bed material. The cause of clinker was proved that ash was sticked to molten or sintered sand or limestone in the area of high temperature in the circulating system.
