The characteristics of ammonia-nitrogen (NH4+-N) adsorption by a zeolitic material synthesized from Jeju scoria using the fusion and hydrothermal method was studied. The synthetic zeolitic material (Z-SA) was identified as a Na-A zeolite by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence analysis and scanning electron microscopy images. The adsorption of NH4+-N using Jeju scoria and different types of zeolite such as the Z-SA, natural zeolite, and commercial pure zeolite (Na-A zeolite, Z-CS) was compared. The equilibrium of NH4+-N adsorption was reached within 30 min for Z-SA and Z-CS, and after 60 min for Jeju scoria and natural zeolite. The adsorption capacity of NH4+-N increased with approaching to neutral when pH was in the range of 3-7, but decreased above 7. The removal efficiency of NH4+-N increased with increasing Z-SA dosage, however, its adsorption capacity decreased. For initial NH4+-N concentrations of 10-200 mg/L at pH 7, the adsorption rate of NH4+-N was well described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model than the pseudo first-order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherm was well fitted by the Langmuir model. The maximum uptake of NH4+-N obtained from the Langmuir model decreased in the order of Z-CS (46.8 mg/g) > Z-SA (31.3 mg/g) > natural zeolite (5.6 mg/g) > Jeju scoria (0.2 mg/g).

Embryogenic callus induces from shoot tip and leaf segment of Zanthoxylum piperitum for producing somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration were cultured in vitro on Murashige and Tucker's(MT) medium treated with casein hydrolysate $NH_4NO_3$, $KNO_3$ and plant growth regulator. The most effective somatic embryogensis was observed in the medium added by two fold $NH_4NO_3$(3300mg/l)+2. 4-D 0.1mg/l and $KNO_3$(3800mg/l)+2.4-D 0.1mg/l. Also, MT medium supplemented with casein hydrolysate 700mg/l added by 2, 4-D 0.1mg/l were effective in obtainingn somatic embryos from embryogenic callus The effect ofm MT medium supplemented with casein hydrolysate without 2, 4-D was lower than that with (3300mg/l) 2, 4-D for the formation of somatic embryos.

We show that a combined technique of Cs$^{+}$ reactive ion scattering (Cs$^{+}$ RIS) and low-energy secondary ion mass spectrometry (LESIMS) provides a powerful means for probing molecular films and their surface reactions. Simple molecules, including HCI, NH$_3$, D$_2$O, and their mixtures, were deposited into a thin film of several monolayer thickness on Ru(001) at low temperature in vacuum, and the surface was characterized by Cs$^{+}$ RIS and LESIMS. On pure films, D$_2$O, HCI, and NH$_3$ existed in the corresponding molecular states. When HCI and NH$_3$ were co-deposited, ammonium ion(NH$_4$$^{+}$) was readily formed by proton transfer from HCI to NH$_3$. In the presence of water molecules, HCI ionized first to hydronium ion(H$_3$O$^{+}$), which subsequently transferred proton to NH$_3$ to form NH$_4$$^{+}$. The proton transfer, however, did not occur to a completion on ice, in contrast to the complete reaction in aqueous solutions.s solutions.

The direct determination of lead in the whole-blood by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometric analysis was carried out by using the sample which was diluted five-fold with 1% Triton X-100. Matrix modification was tried to remove the interferences of blood matrix and also to get the optimum analytical condition. Good agreement with certificated values in reference materials(bovine blood) supplied by comparison program in Japan was obstained when 1% $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ as matrix modifier and ashing temperature, $700^{\circ}C$ were used or 1% $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ and 0.1% $PdCl_2$ as matrix modifier and ashed at $700^{\circ}C$. Standard deviations were appeared as 2.2~6.3% for 1% $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ and 3.1~9.1% for 1% $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ and 0.1% $PdCl_2$ in the range of $31{\sim}624{\mu}gPb/l$.

This study was conducted to find out the effect for removal of $NH_3$ gas, one of the offensive odor. The removal efficiencies of $NH_3$ gas through zeolie column increased with the decreased percolation velocity. The effect of zeolite colum in removing $NH_3$ gas was influenced by the water content of zeolite and the added amount of zeolite, but was not influenced by the setting method of zeolite. The $NH_3$ gas removing sequence of saturated cation species on zeolite was in order of Ca->Na->$NH_4$ ->Natural->K-zeolite. Consequently the effect of zeolite on $NH_3$ gas removal efficiency is consided by the water content, added amount and saturated cation of the zeolite.

The water soluble components were analyzed in the $PM_{2.5}$ fine particles collected at the 1100 site of Mt. Halla for the spring seasons between 1998 and 2004. The $PM_{2.5}$ mass concentrations were within $13.4{\pm}9.6{\sim}21.7{\pm}20.0{\mu}g/m^3$, and the concentrations of ionic components were in the order of nss-$SO{_4}^{2-}$ > $NH{_4}{^+}$ > $NO{_3}{^-}$ > $Ca^{2+}$ > $K^+$ > $Na^+$ > $Cl^-$ > $Mg^{2+}$, in which the concentration of nss-$SO{_4}^{2-}$($3.41{\pm}2.42{\mu}g/m^3$) was the highest. The concentrations of $NH{_4}{^+}$, $SO{_4}^{2-}$, and $NO{_3}{^-}$, the secondary pollutants, were respectively 0.60~1.50, 2.86~4.42, and $0.24{\sim}1.57{\mu}g/m^3$, which had occupied 88 % of the total ionic components, on the other hand, the concentrations of marine species were less than 5 %. The nss-$SO{_4}^{2-}$ showed the high correlation with $NH{_4}{^+}$, $K^+$, so that $NH{_4}{^+}$ and nss-$SO{_4}^{2-}$ might exist in the form of $(NH_4)_3H(SO_4)_2$ and $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ in fine particles. From the backward trajectory analysis, in case of high concentrations of $NH{_4}{^+}$ and nss-$SO{_4}^{2-}$ simultaneously, the air masses were originated and stagnated at the east region of China for a while, then moved into the atmosphere of Jeju. However, in case of $NO{_3}{^-}$ and nss-$Ca^{2+}$, the air masses originated at China and Siberia were moved into Jeju via the eastern China.

In this study, model-based $NH_4-N$ predictive control algorithm by using influent pattern was developed and evaluated for effective control application in $A^2/O$ process. A pilot-scale $A^2/O$process at S wastewater treatment plant in B city was selected. The behaviors of organic, nitrogen and phosphorous in the biological reactors were described by using the modified ASM3+Bio-P model. A one-dimensional double exponential function model was selected for modeling of the secondary settlers. The effluent $NH_4-N$ concentration on the next day was predicted according to model-based simulation by using influent pattern. After the objective effluent quality and simulation result were compared, the optimal operational condition which able to meet the objective effluent quality was deduced through repetitive simulation. Next the effluent $NH_4-N$ control schedule was generated by using the optimal operational condition and this control schedule on the next day was applied in pilot-scale $A^2/O$ process. DO concentration in aerobic reactor in predictive control algorithm was selected as the manipulated variable. Without control case and with control case were compared to confirm the control applicability and the study of the applied $NH_4-N$control schedule in summer and winter was performed to confirm the seasonal effect. In this result, the effluent $NH_4-N$concentration without control case was exceeded the objective effluent quality. However the effluent $NH_4-N$ concentration with control case was not exceeded the objective effluent quality both summer and winter season. As compared in case of without predictive control algorithm, in case of application of predictive control algorithm, the RPM of air blower was increased about 9.1%, however the effluent $NH_4-N$ concentration was decreased about 45.2%. Therefore it was concluded that the developed predictive control algorithm to the effluent $NH_4-N$ in this study was properly applied in a full-scale wastewater treatment process and was more efficient in aspect to stable effluent.

It has been reported that a biocement obtained by mixing CaO-SiO2-P2O5 glass powder and ammonium phosphate solution has biocompatibility as well as high strength. However, the compositional dependence on its hardening and hydroxyapatite formation phenomena has not been studied. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to study the effects of P2O5, MgO in CaO-SiO2 system glass on the hardening and hydroxyapatite formation. When more than 50 mole% of CaO containing CaO-SiO2 glasses was reacted with ammonium phosphate solution, CaNH4PO4.H2O crystal was formed, but the glass with less than 50 mol% of CaO formed (NH4)2HPO4 and NH4H2PO4 crystals which are derived from ammonium phosphate solution without reacting with the glasses. As the amount of P2O5 in CaO-SiO2-P2O5 glass system was increased, the formation of CaNH4PO4.H2O crystal was enhanced. When those hardened samples were reacted with tris-buffer solution, hydroxyapatite was obtained only for the sample with CaNH4PO4.H2O. While the substitution of MgO for CaO decreased the formation of CaNH4PO4.H2O crystal. MgNH4PO4.H2O crystla was formed in high MgO containing glass, which did not react with tris-buffer solution.

The preparation of AlN powder by SHS in the system of $Al-AlN-NH_4Cl$ was investigated in this study. In the preparation of AlN powder, the effect of gas pressure and the composition such as Al, AlF, and additive in mixture on the reactivity were investigated. At 60 atm of the initial inert gas pressure in reactor, the optimum composition for the preparation of pure AlN was 35 wt%Al+5 wt% $NH_4Cl+60wt%$AlN. The AlN powder synthesized in this condition was a single phase AlN with a whisker morphology.

Acrylic acid was graft-copolymerized on polyethylene film in the presence of additives such as acid and $FeSO_4(NH_4)_2SO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$ using peroxide grafting technique by ${\gamma}$-ray and electron beam, and the effect of $FeSO_4(NH_4)_2SO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$ and acid on the grafting yield was evaluated. The grafting mechanism and the physical property of grafted films were also examined. The results showed that the inclusion of $FeSO_4(NH_4)_2SO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$ in acidified acrylic acid grafting solution was extremely beneficial and led to a most unusual enhancement effect in the radiation grafting. In the other hand, inclusion of mineral acid in the grafting solution in the absence of $FeSO_4(NH_4)_2SO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$ could not lead to he suitable grafting reaction by the severe homopolymerization of acrylic acid. The addition of $H_2SO_4$, and HCl led to much higher grafting yield than $HNO_3$and $CH_3COOH$. It was shown that grafting yield of ${\gamma}$-ray irradiated-polyethylene was higher than that of electron beam irradiated polyethylene.
