Despite of a long history of the sulfur on the disease healing effect, there were limited ways of applying sulfur to animal and human. We have developed the detoxified sulfur (non toxic sulfur) method to make it practical and mass production possible through laboring for many years. This study practiced scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) analysis to investigate the physicochemical aspect of detoxified sulfur. We also performed the oral toxicity experiment to mice, and anti-bacterial test of the detoxified sulfur. Based on the SEM, EDS and SIMS results, the united particles in the mass form with the similar component intensity with the raw sulfur were observed, and hydrogen sulfide ion (HS-) component which is regarded as a toxic matter, was decreased after detoxification. Indeed, toxicity test on the mice (10 males, 10 females) showed no clinical, histopathological changes with the 5 times amount (2,500 mg/kg) of the actual doses. However, the male-mice showed decreased in body weight by 23.6%, 24.3% in the 7th, 14th day, respectively, after detoxified sulfur. Moreover, the female-mice administered the detoxified sulfur showed decreased in body weight by 28.7% (P<0.05) than that in the control group on the 14th day. The result of antibacterial test on the detoxified sulfur showed antibacterial effect (27%) to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. It is shown that detoxified sulfur can be used as feed additive and has an affect on the farm perfomance.

Nitrogen and sulfur deposition was measured on Lake Pal dang from March 2002 to October 2003. Wet and dry depositions were separately measured using wet- and dry-only samplers, respectively. In order to measure the dry deposition to the water body, a dry deposition sampler composed of three pans filled with pure water, called the deposition water, was used. Since ammonium was generally in excess in ambient air, more than half of ammonium was present in the gaseous form. Ammonium concentration was also generally higher than the sum of major anion concentrations in the deposition water because gaseous species were much easily deposited than the species in fine particles. Nevertheless, the contribution of gaseous ammonia to the deposition of ammonium was not high as well as that of particulate ammonium while the contribution of gaseous nitric acid was much higher than that of particulate nitrate. Annual wet deposition fluxes of nitrogen and sulfur were five and six times higher than their dry deposition fluxes, respectively. Except for ammonium, the dry deposition flux estimated in the present work was a half of the previous results. This was mainly caused by much smaller dry deposition velocities over the water than over the ground.

Particulate sulfate in $PM_{2.5}$, sulfur dioxide ($SO_2$) and size-segregated aerosol particle number concentrations were measured at a site ($32^{\circ}19'N$, $129^{\circ}59'E$) on the southwestern Japan coast from 5 March to 10 April, 2010. Results show frequent episodic increases of sulfate and $SO_2$. Compared to the average concentration of sulfate $4.4{\pm}2.7\;{\mu}g\;m^{-3}$ in the whole observation period, episodic sulfate reached $10.5-20.1\;{\mu}g\;m^{-3}$. The variation of sulfate always synchronized with aerosol particles in the size range of $0.1-0.5 {\mu}m$, indicating the episodic sulfate was a consequence of the increase of the sub-micron particles. $SO_2$ did not have remarkable increase in any episodes of sulfate increase. During the passage of low pressure systems which loaded Asian dust in postfrontal air, concentrated sulfate appeared right behind the front but before dust arrival, suggesting the dominance of dust-free particulate sulfate. Weather and backward trajectory analyses revealed that air parcels with high sulfate passed eastern and northeastern China or Korean peninsula before arriving at the site. In contrast, those with high $SO_2$ passed an active volcano, Mt. Sakurajima, about 100 km in the south, suggesting the $SO_2$ was more likely from the volcanic emission. The ratio of sulfate to total sulfur compounds $({SO_4}^{2-})/({SO_4}^{2-}+SO_2)$ was 0.31-0.89 in continentally originated air while was 0.25-0.43 in the air having passed the volcano, showing more efficient conversions of $SO_2$ to sulfate in the air from the continent. The close dependence of the conversion on humidity in the continentally originated air was confirmed.

This study was conducted to determine the applicable loading rate and to evaluate the possibility of using limestones as an alkalinity source for the removal of ${NO_3}^{-}-N$ remaining after denitrification/nitrification process with the down-flow sulfur packed bed reactor(SPBR). The pretreated sewage was fed to SPBR. Three SPBRs were filled with elemental sulfur particles and limestones and the volumetric ratios of sulfur to limestone were 0%, 12.5% and 25% for R-0%, R-12.5% and R-25%, respectively. The applicable loading rate was evaluated increasing flow rate with influent ${NO_3}^{-}-N$ concentration of 20 mg/L. For R-0% with external alkalinity supply, denitrification efficiency was greater than 96% up to loading rate of $354.8g\;{NO_3}^{-}-N/m^3{\cdot}day$, and corresponding EBCT was 1.4hr. For R-12.5% and R-25%, where alkalinity was supplied by the limestone filled in the reactor, denitrification efficiency was greater than 94% up to loading rate of $283.8g\;{NO_3}^{-}-N/m^3{\cdot}day$, and corresponding EBCT was 1.7hr. The slightly better performance of R-12.5 compared to R-25 suggests that the volumetric sulfur to limestone ratio of 12.5% was enough for the supply of alkalinity required for sulfur-utilizing denitrification. DO was appeared not showing inhibitory effect on sulfur-utilizing denitrification. The clogging of SPBR caused by the produced gas can effectively be eliminated by regular introduction of treated water in up-flow mode.

Acid sulfate soils occur in the Gimhae plain where they have been formed from brackish alluvial sediments along the sea coast and river estuary. Acid sulfate soils suffer extremely acidity as a result of oxidation of pyrite. Total sulfur content of the soils was the highest in B horizon of Gimhae series and the lowest in A horizon of Deunggu series. The dominant fractions of sulfur in the soils were jarosite-S for Gimhae series, pyrite-S for Bongrim and Haecheog series, and organic-S for Deunggu series. The essential chemical processes of acid sulfate soils are, firstly, the formation of pyrite in waterlogged environment, and subsequently, the oxidation of this pyrite following natural or artificial drainage. Jarosite [K Fe3(SO4)2(OH)6] is a common sulfur mineral of the oxidation condition. Jarosite shows cubic particles with tetrahedral faces.

본 연구는 단축질소제거(SBNR) 공정의 후속 공정 목적으로 황이용 독립영양탈질을 이용하여 유출수 내 아질산성질소를 제거하고자 황 이용 아질산성질소의 제거특성을 파악하였다. 이를 위하여 알칼리도가 이론적인 양보다 충분한 조건과 부족한 조건에서 아질산성질소와 질산성질소의 황탈질 회분식 실험을 수행하면서 메탄올의 영향을 파악하였다. 충분한 알칼리도와 완전독립영양 조건에서 초기 아질산성질소, 질산성질소 농도가 각각 100 mg N/L에서 배양 27시간 이내에 99% 이상의 질소가 제거 되었다. 탈질 속도는 질산성질소 탈질에 비해 아질산성질소 탈질이 약 1.3배 빨랐다. 아질산성질소 탈질 시 1 g 당 황산염 이온 생성량은 약 4.8 g ${SO_4}^{2-}/g$ ${NO_2}^-$-N 이었고, 질산성질소 탈질의 경우 13.5 g ${SO_4}^{2-}/g$ ${NO_3}^-$-N이었다. 알칼리도가 충분하지 않은 조건에서 아질산성질소는 95% 이상 높은 효율을 보였으나 15시간 정도의 긴 유도기가 관찰되었고, 질산성질소 탈질의 경우 배양기간 동안 전혀 탈질이 이루어지지 않았다. 아질산성질소 탈질에서 제거된 아질산성질소 1 g 당 황산염 이온 생성량은 약 2.6 g이었고 알칼리도 소비량은 1.2 g $CaCO_3$이었다. 모든 알칼리도 조건에서 투여한 메탄올의 아질산성질소 제거 영향은 없었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 황이용탈질의 특성을 파악하여 하수 및 폐수의 특성에 맞게 반응조 운전이 이루어지면 기존 탈질 방법의 단점을 보완한 효율적인 탈질 방법이 될 것으로 판단된다.

The paper deals with the proper design of GGH(gas-gas heater) panel elements of desulfurization equipments in a thermoelectric power plant. When fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum et cetera are burnt to ashes, sulfur oxide compounds are produced, and calcareous sludges are deposited at GGH panel elements. In this case, operation of a power plant equipments is interrupted, and a tremendous economic loss comes into existence. One of the purposes of the paper is to find flow velocity distributions and regions of depositions when calcareous sludges pile up on the GGH panel elements through the fluid analysis. In the fluid analysis, flow velocity and position distributions of particles between GGH panel elements are demonstrated according to time variation for ammonia and calcium hydroxide particles.

폐타이어의 처리방법으로서는 recycling이 가장 최선의 방법 중의 하나이다. 하지만 재활용의 어려움 중에는 경제성의 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 폐타이어의 입자 크기를 줄이는 방법과 표면처리를 통하여 제품의 물성을 향상시키는 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 두 방법을 동시에 응용한 방법으로 폐타이어의 입자크기를 작게 하고 ultrasonic 처리를 하였다. 그 결과로 폐타이어 가황 시스템의 변화를 가져옴으로서 물성의 향상을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 기술은 재활용의 경제성을 높이는 기초기술임을 알 수 있었다.

축산폐수는 고농도의 유기물 및 질소를 함유하고 있으므로 적절한 처리 방법이 요구된다. 본 연구는 황을 이용한 독립영양 탈질 방법으로 질산성 질소에서 질소가스로의 탈질이 아닌 아질산성질소에서의 황산화 탈질을 연구하였으며 탈질 미생물의 최적 성장 조건을 찾고자 하였다. 초기 알칼리도가 충분한 조건에서는 아질산성질소 탈질 저해가 관찰되지 않았으며 실험온도가 $20^{\circ}C$인 경우에도 $30^{\circ}C$와 비교할 때 큰 저해 없이 탈질이 진행되었다. 하지만 초기 아질산성질소의 농도 300 mg/L 이상에서 lag phase가 늘어나 기질저해가 나타났다. 알칼리도가 충분하지 않은 조건에서 질산성질소의 탈질효율은 10%인 반면 아질산성질소의 탈질의 95% 이상이었다. 산소가 존재할 경우 산소를 이용하여 탈질이 이루어지지 않았음에도 불구하고 황산화 미생물이 산소를 이용하여 황산염의 농도가 증가하였다. 아질산성질소 탈질 시 알칼리도의 소모가 관찰되었으나 질산염 탈질시 보다 알칼리도의 소모가 적었으며 황산염 생성 또한 적었다. 황이용 아질산성 질소 탈질은 외부탄소원의 추가적인 주입 없이 저렴한 황입자를 이용하며 질산성질소 황산화 탈질의 단점인 알칼리도 파괴, 황산염이온 생성의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 효과적인 탈질 방법이 될 것으로 기대된다.
