This study was carried out to find the optimum treatment condition for the improving germination using the plant growth regulators with $GA_3$ and BAP, to Kentucky bluegrass and Tall fescue showing low germination. $GA_3$ treatment was more effective on the germination of Kentucky bluegrass than BAP single treatment or the combination treatment of $GA_3$ and BAP, regardless of their treatment concentration. Seed germinability was 6 days treatment was significantly better than that of 3 days treatment in the experiment for treatment period of the plant growth regulators. When seeds were treated with $1000{\mu}M$ of $GA_3$ for 6 days, on the percent germination was improved as much as between 10% and 38% comparing with the control. In Tall fescue seed, the percent germination was not significantly improved, although it was slightly increased when the plant growth regulators were treated. For the optimum condition, on percent germination was improved as much as 10% comparing with the control of Tall fescue treated with $1000{\mu}M$ of $GA_3$ for 3 days. Percent emergence fur the seeds of Kentucky bluegrass and Tall fescue treated $GA_3$ in the field was improved as much as $8{\sim}9%$ comparing with the control, and mean emergence time $(E_{50})$ was also faster for $1{\sim}2$ days than that of the control. However, dry weight, plant height and root length showed no significant effects, although those were slightly improved more than those of the control.

This study has been investigated the influence of solid solution treatment on the microstructure of Mg-6Al-xZn(x=0,1,2) alloys fabricated by squeeze casting process. The products having clean surface and fine microstructure are fabricated by adopting the liquid metal forging method. The microstructures of as-fabricated state show ${\beta}(Mg_{17}Al_{12})$ precipitates between the dendrite boundaries. It is found that the hardness of the alloys is increased with increasing amount of zinc due to the solid solution hardening effect of zinc. In the changes of microstructure upon solid solution treatment time at $405^{\circ}C$, ${\beta}$ phases are dissolved in ${\alpha}$ matrix up to 1hr and the microstructure are coarsened rapidly after 2hrs. The microhardness are decreased rapidly until 1hr of solution treatment time and then stabilized. From the above results, it is concluded that the optimum solid solution treatment condition for Mg-6Al-xZn alloys is at $405^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. The solution treatment time is greatly reduced comparing to conventional casting(at $385{\sim}418^{\circ}C$ for 10~14hrs) due to the formation of the super-saturated solid solution by liquid metal forging.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of aldehyde compounds and ploysulfide as accelerating agents on removal of heavy metals and CN in plating wastewater. As a results of the experiments, the removal efficiency of cyanide using the formaldehyde type of aldehydes was the highest at pH 9. Next types were sodium formaldehyde bisulfite addut> paraldehyde> paraformaldehyde. Also, optimum pH and dosage for treating the residual heavy metals by using polysulfide were pH 9 and 30 mg/L, respectively. The removal efficiencies of cyanide, chromium, zinc and copper were above 96.7% at optimum condition.

This work elucidates the effects of pretreatment of the sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plant by microwave irradiation on elutriated acid fermentation. These experiments typically fell into two process; pretreatment as microwave irradiation and elutriated acid fermentation for hydrolysis and acidification as main process of primary sludge. The results of maximum solubilization rate of B, D primary and secondary sludge were 0.042, 0.086 and 0.15 gSCODprod./gICODin and the optimum irradiation time of microwave on 2,450 MHz and 900 W were 5 min. for primary sludge and 7 min. for secondary sludge. From batch tests on elutriated acid fermentation that was used the pretreated primary sludge as microwave, the optimum pH and HRT (hydraulic retention time) were 7 and 5 days at $35^{\circ}C$ condition.

Iron and manganese problems in ground water affect far more water systems than almost any other water quality concern. The purpose of this study is to find the optimum condition of ozonation for the removal of dissolved iron, manganese and other organics in the polluted ground water. We proposed 4mg/l, 8mg/l as optimum ozone dose for the removal of $Fe^{2+},{\;}Mn^{2+}$, respectively. The removal efficiencies of $COD_{Mn}$ and $COD_{Cr}$ in ozone dose of 2mg/l - 6mg/l were about 40-50%. The removal efficiency of $NH_{3}-N$ was about 30-40% at pH8.5. In conclusion, it needs further systematic study and research concerned to treatability of $Fe^{2+},{\;}Mn^{2+}$ and biodegradability of organic compounds using Ozonation followed by biological filtration process in ground water treatment train.

The composition of base glass was selected as MgO 8, Al2O3 24, SiO2 68 in weight percent. TiO2 and ZrO2 were added to the base glass to investigate their effects as nucleating agents. In the case of ZrO2 addition, the optimum temperature for nucleation, which was related to the precipitation of tetragonal ZrO2, was 80$0^{\circ}C$. The optimum growth condition for the crystal was 87$0^{\circ}C$ for 8 hrs, and the major crystal phases precipitated in the samples were $\beta$-quartz ss. and mullite. The light transmissivity turned out to be around 80 per cent. On the other hand, when the TiO2 was added, it was difficult to determine the nucleating temperature, because the samples turned easily into translucency during the heat treatment. Therefore, it was almost impossible to retain transparency in the samples. The light transmissivity was below 30 per cent.

Copper is a well known alloying element that is used to improve the resistance to general corrosion of stainless steel And also Cu cation have the anti-fouling effect to inhibit adhesion of the marine algae and shellfish to the surface of heat exchanger cooling pipe or outside wall of the ship, Therefore there are some anti-fouling methods such as anti-fouling Paint mixed with copper oxide or MGPS(Marine Growth Preventing System) by using Cu cation dissolved to the sea wather solution. Cu cation can be dissolved spontaneously by galvanic current due to Potential difference between Cu and cooling pipe of heat exchanger with Ti material, which may be one of the anti-fouling designs. In this study the effect of annealing heat treatment to galvanic current and Polarization behavior was investigated with a electrochemical points of view such as measurement of corrosion Potential, anodic polarization curve. cyclic voltammetric curve, galvanic current etc The grain size of the surface in annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ was the smallest than that of other annealing temperatures. and also the corrosion Potential showed more positive potential than other annealing temperatures. The galvanic current between Ti and Cu with annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ was the largest value in the case of static condition. However its value in the case of flow condition was the smallest than the other temperatures. Therefore in order to increase anti-fouling effect by Cu cation, the optimum annealing temperature in static condition of sea water is $700^{\circ}C$, however non- heat treated specimen in the case of flow condition may be desirable.

${\alpha}$-titanium alloy has a relatively low heat treatment characteristic and it is mainly subjected to heat treatment for residual stress, recovery or dynamic recrystallization. In this study, commercially pure titanium hollow castings was fabricated by gravity casting. Heat treatments were carried out at $750^{\circ}C$, $850^{\circ}C$ and $950^{\circ}C$ to investigate the effect of post-heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties. Beta-transus temperature ($T_{\beta}$) was about $913^{\circ}C$, and equiaxed microstructure was shown at temperature below $T_{\beta}$ and lath-type microstructure at temperature above $T_{\beta}$. Microstructure and mechanical properties did not show any significant difference in the direction of solidification for titanium hollow billet, so it can be seen that it was a well-made material for extrusion process. The optimum heat treatment condition of hollow billet castings for the seamless tube production was $850^{\circ}C$, 4 hr, FC, indicating a combination of equiaxed microstructure and appropriate mechanical properties.

Train of chemical and biological processes was investigated to treat leachate from industrial waste landfill. Organics and nitrogen concentrations of landfill leachate studied in this research were high and their BOD/COD ratio was 0.3. Biological process should be combined with chemical process for optimum treatment of leachate. PAC(Polyaluminium chloride) was the best coagulant among three chemicals tested, and the optimum condition of PAC coagulation was pH 6 and 1,250 mg/L of dosage. When SBR was operated for simultaneous removal of organics and nitrogen, removal efficiency of COD and T-N reached over $82\%,\;71\%,$ respectively and time distribution of 2/4/2/1 was most effective for one cycle of anoxic/aerobic/anoxic/aerobic.
