The purpose of the study was to investigate the quality characteristics and sensory properties of fresh and boiling pork shoulder at different feed ration of zeolite (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0%). All of the dietary zeolite groups had significantly higher pH than the control; 0.5% zeolite (6.14) had the highest pH. Cooking loss was significantly higher in the control compared to other treatments; further, the loss, increased as the feed ratio of zeolite addition increased. The cooking loss of fresh pork shoulder fed with 0.5% zeolite (22.47%) was significantly lower than other treatments. The dissolution crude lipid of 0.5% zeolite was the lowest, but was not significant. In the Hunter's color value of fresh pork shoulder, the L and a values were significantly higher in 0.5% zeolite compared to other treatments, whereas the b value was significantly higher in 2.0% zeolite. In the Hunter's color value of boiling pork shoulder, the L and b values with 0.5% zeolite were significantly higher compared to other treatments; however, the a value was not significantly different between groups. The hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness of fresh pork shoulder were significantly increased as the feed ration of zeolite increased. These properties, except for springiness in boiling pork shoulder were significantly increased as the feed ration of zeolite increased. Furthermore, sensory characteristics of color, taste, flavor, appearance and overall preference were significantly higher in boiling pork shoulder with 0.5% zeolite compared to other treatments. Also, texture preference, which was decreased as the feed ratio of zeolite increased, was higher in the control compared to other treatments. In conclusion, the quality characteristics and sensory properties of pork shoulder meat were enhanced with the dietary supplementation of zeolite.

Stabilization behavior of Cr, Cd, Cu, Pb, Fe and Zn heavy metals in the EAF dust was investigated by adding EAF dust to clay or white clay, respectively, up to 50 wt% with 10 wt% intervals and sintering at temperatures between 200 and $1200^{\circ}C$ with $200^{\circ}C$ intervals with an aid of ICP-AES followed by TCLP test to evaluate heavy metal cation exchange capacity of the clay or the white clay. The clay or the white clay had a better Cr ion exchange capacity than that of zeolite. The TCLP leaching test for the sintered specimens showed that Cr and Fe were rarely detected for all the specimens and the concentration of Cd and Zn decreased with increasing sintering temperature and decreasing EAF dust contents respectively. When the clay or the white clay were mixed with EAF dust, cation exchange may occur between the clay and the EAF dust so that the first stabilization of the mixtures containing semistabilized heavy metals may happen. Stabilization of heavy metals in the ceramic bodies was further completed probably due to the eutectic reaction caused by the sintering of semi-stabilized mixtures. It was conceivable that the white clay rather than the clay may be a better stabilizer for the EAF dust containing heavy metals.

In this study, $CO_2$ adsorbent was developed for removing low concentration of $CO_2$ in multiple-use facilities. The efficiency of the adsorbent which was improved selective $CO_2$ adsorption capabilities was evaluated. The pellet type adsorbent was modified from a commercial zeolite with mixing LiOH, binder, additives, and $H_2O$. Column tests showed over 90 % of $CO_2$ was adsorbed within 400min. Chamber tests including batch and continuous types were performed for evaluating the adsorbent module. By batch tests, it was evaluated that about 92% of $CO_2$ was removed within 30 min. By continuous tests, 70% of $CO_2$ was removed within 30 min. It was analyzed that over 2,500 ppm of $CO_2$ was continuously removed as shown chamber tests. The reproducibility tests repeatedly performed for 15 days shows that over 1,000 ppm of $CO_2$ was continuously removed. Adsorption capacity of the developed adsorbent was 5.0mmol $CO_2/g$ adsorbent which was analyzed by TGA. It was estimated that the modified adsorbent was applicable to low $CO_2$ concentration and low temperature of indoor environment.

A stone seated bodhisattva (Sinsu5971) was discovered in Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do in 1974 and was transferred to the Chuncheon National Museum upon its opening in 2002. The statue had damage to wide areas and was thus difficult to restore. This study utilized 3D scanning and 3D printing technologies to identify the overall form of the statue and the degree of damage, which allowed the restoration of lost portions that otherwise could not have been accurately restored to their original shape. Prior to the conservation treatment, the pigments used to decorate the surface were investigated using an optical microscope, and their main components were analyzed with a p-XRF (Potable X-ray Fluorescence Analyzer). The deteriorated lacquered surface was stabilized using animal glue and consolidated with stone strengthener (OH-100). The investigation found that the surface of the statue was made of zeolite that was lacquered and then gilded. As for pigments, white lead was used for the white color and red lead and cinnabar were used for red. The lost portions were redesigned by mirroring the remaining parts with 3D technologies. However, it was difficult to affix the 3D printing outputs to the statue without visible gaps since the damaged parts suffered flection. The portions of the outputs to be connected to the statue were thus modified and supplemented. It was also difficult to collect data on the properties of 3D printing materials due to the lack of previous in-depth study. These obstacles are subjects for further study.

The geochemical partitioning of arsenic in contaminated soils from a of wet land and tailing of the abandoned mine is examined. Chemical analysis and sequential extraction method by ultrasound-sonication extraction are applied to investigate the mobility and chemical existence conditions of arsenic as well as heavy metals. The results of this study showed that heavy metals concentration of tailings showed as a following order: Fe > As > Cu > Pb > Cr. The highest metal concentration was recognized in samples less than $63\;{\mu}m$ fraction in their particle sizes. Exchangeable and carbonate fractions in soil samples showed following Cu > As > Pb > Fe > Cr for tailings, and Fe > Pb > Cu > As > Cr for reservoir soils, respectively. Arsenic was bound as exchangeable fraction in tailings and its concentration appeared higher than those of the other metals. Thus, As can be easily dispersed into soil and water environments. The obtained results can be used to design soil remediation plan in the study area and require further detailed study to investigate severe environmental pollution of surface water as well as rivers with respect to heavy metals in terms of speciation analysis of toxic elements such as As and Cr.

The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics of nitrate removal by conducting the column test in order to see the performance of surfactant modified zeolite (SMZ) as a permeable reactive barrier material. The prediction of nitrate removal was tested using the one-dimensional advective-dispersive model fitted to the experimental breakthrough curve. A methodology for scaling up to in-situ permeable reactive barrier was also proposed. The breakthrough of nitrate in the column packed with SMZ was well predicted using linear equilibrium adsorption model. The breakthrough time and half-life obtained by breakthrough experiment with variation of flowrates were decreased with the increase of flowrates. When 10㎥/day of groundwater containing the 50 mg/l of nitrate is to be treated to satisfy the potable water quality criteria (10 mg/l) by SMZ reactive barrier, 300 tons of SMZ and about 6 years of breakthrough time will be required, suggesting that 165 million wons are needed as barrier material expenses in each 6 years besides the initial design and construction expenses and the minimal monitoring and maintenance expenses.

In the high-Ca limestone zone of the Pungchon Formation of the Lower Chosun Supergroup, cryptocrystalline alterations with reddish brown color occur as fissure-fillings or coatings, which was originated from the upper formation, i. e., the Hwajeol Formation. The precipitates result in degradation and contamination of the high-Ca limestone ore in grade and quality, showing characteristic occurrence and mineral composition typical of suggesting a supergene origin. Chalcedonic quartz, kaolinite, illite, goethite and hematite are constituting a characteristic authigenic mineral assemblage and, in places, smectite is less commonly included in the weathering product. In addition to these authigenic phases, some detrital minerals such as mica and orthoclase constituting relatively coarser grains are also rarely present in the supergene alterations. A rather complex clay facies consisting of kaolinite, illite and smectite in the alterations seems to correspond to the typical clay composition of the reported residual pedogenic soils by limestone weathering. The cryptocrystalline weathering product is partly altered to stilbite, a characteristic hydrothermal zeolite, in places, by the hydrothermal contact of late stage. The time of formation and infiltration of the supergene alterations seems to correspond to the stage just after the epithermal alteration of the Pungchon Limestone, i. e., an early Jurassic age. The supergene alteration, which may imply the stage of uplifting, weathering and erosion of the Chosun Supergroup, appears to have undergone at an oxygen-rich environment in descending water of meteoric origin by means of a chemical leaching and diffusion.

Highly-siliceous dealuminated zeolite, silicalite(end member of ZSM-5) was synthesized from a batch composition of 2.55 $Na_2O-5.0$ TPABr-$100SiO_2-2800H_2O $ at $180^{\circ}C$ and at times ranging from one to seven days of reaction time. Autoclaves containing the synthesis mixture were centrifuged within the specially-equipped convection oven to provide an elevated gravitational force field like 30 and 50 G. Tests were also conducted at normal gravity. For synthesis performed under elevated gravities, average and maximum crystal sizes were substantially greater than those synthesized under normal gravity and product yields were also found to be affected by elevated gravity ; that is, product yields were substantially enhanced under elevated gravity from 4 % to 55 % with respect to normal gravity. The average crystal sizes of silicalite synthesized at normal gravity were 50 to $70{\mu}m$ over an entire range of reaction time, one to seven days while the average crystal sizes synthsized under elevated gravities, 30 and 50 G, were 160 to $190{\mu}m$ respectively. For the elevated gravity, in particular, two separate nucleations and growths were observed. For examples, at 50G, large crystals of $200{\mu}m$ were produced through the second growing stage after 5 days of reaction following the rapid first growing stage where fairly large crystals of $135{\mu}m$ were produced only in 2 days of reaction. The maximum crystal sizes obtained through the above two growing stages were 190 and $300{\mu}m$, respectively. A discussion of how elevated gravity affects nucleation, growth, yield and crystal size of silicalite is presented.

The mineralogical, physicochemical and thermal properties of the Myogi bentonite occurring in Japan were measured. A adsorption properties of U, Th, Ce and Eu ions on the Myogi bentonite were also investigated in different solution concentrations and pH conditions. The Myogi bentonite showed a strong alkaline character (pH 10.4), very high swelling, viscosity property and CEC, and a slow flocculation behavior due to the strong hydrophilic property. By the thermal analysis, the dehydroxylation of crystal water in bulk and clay fractions of the Myogi bentonite occur at $591^{\circ}C$ and $658^{\circ}C$, respectively, The adsorption experiments of ions such as U, Th, Ce and Eu were conducted for 0.2 g bentonites with 20mL solutions of various concentrations and different pH conditions with pH 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. As a result, the Myogi bentonite showed excellent adsorption capacities for Ce, Th and Eu ions, whereas U ion showed very low adsorption capacity. Generally, Ce, Th and Eu ions showed the similar adsorption properties for the different concentrated solutions and pH conditions. These adsorption properties seem to be affected by the formation of various forms of chemical species and precipitation as well as ionic exchange reaction and surface adsorptions on smectite. Some associated zeolite minerals perhaps have some effects on the adsorption of U, Th, Ce and Eu on Myogi bentonite.

In situ capping technology for marine sediment pollution control has never been applied in South Korea. In this study a pilot project for the capping was carried out in Busan N Harbor. Pipeline and clamshell capping technologies were implemented for the pollution control. Changes of capping shapes, sediment contamination, and the time and costs required for the two constructions were compared. Both the pipeline and clamshell technologies were found to satisfy the target thickness of 50 cm on average. However, the pipeline method did not operate sensitively in terms of change of the sea floor topography, resulting in an uneven shape and a thickness. Organic carbon and ignition loss quite decreased after the pipeline or the clamshell capping while pH showed no significant change. Organic and residual fraction of Cd, Ni, and Zn in the sediments appeared to decrease after all cappings. The pipeline method took a construction time four times as much as the clamshell method. The clamshell method was demonstrated to reduce the construction cost by about 40% compared with the pipeline method. However, a monitoring for all the parameters needs to be conducted at least two years in order to better evaluate an efficiency of the pollution control by these capping constructions.
