This study was performed to improve many problems of leaching test of industrial waste sludge analysis. We analyze sludges by variation of leachant, pH and leaching time.The results were as follows: 1. As leaching at pH 5.8 by our leaching test without control of pH during leaching, the leaching rates were very low as below 1%. 2. As leaching at pH 5.8 continuously by hydrochloric acid every 2 hour, the leaching rates were higher than before 1. 3. As leaching at pH 5.0 continuously by acetic acid every 2 hour, the leaching rates were higher than 1, 2. 4. The variations of leaching rate by leaching time were smaller increase after 10 hours than before. 5. It will be recommendable that the pH of leachant maintain constantly during leaching as level of acid rain, and the acetic acid is more effective than hydrochloric acid as leachant.

For the separation of neodymium from NdFeB permanent magnet scrap, the scrap was roasted for oxidizing, and leached with acetic acid followed by fractional crystallization for selective separation. From the analysis results of the leached solution, the optimum condition for the recovery of neodymium was found that leaching temperature, leaching time and pulp density are 80$^{\circ}C$, 3 hours, and 35%, respectively. At this optimum condition, more than 90% of neodymium could be recovered. Concentration of neodymium acetate in acetic acid. The optimum condition for the recovery of neodymium acetate crystal from the leached solution was that the initial leaching solution was evaporated until the remaining volume was about 1/5 of the initial volume. At this condition, 67.5% of neodymium was recovered from the leached solution. The neodymium remaining in the concentrated solution was recovered by reacting it with oxalic acid.

This study was to understand leaching characteristics with pH controlling agents and Temp. control, and investigate leaching characteristics with pH control from opening a leaching test to an end for reassessing leaching test of heavy metals with environmental conditions in landfill. Because leaching of heavy metals was increased in low pH, pH must control for leaching in existing leaching test. Generally, regulation time(6hr) of leaching was confirmed reasonablely, except for Cu in plating sludge. In pH controlling solution, there was nearly not difference between Acetic acid and HCl and if considering Cu, the former was appropriate. In a part of heavy metal, leaching rate was increased in high Temp., and normal Temp. in existing leaching test would be revaluated.

The effects of the ratio of 45% alcohol and Maesil(Prumus mume) (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, w/v) on quality changes of Maesil liqueur during leaching and ripening for 5 months were examined. Total acidity increased with an increase ratio of Maesil and leaching and ripening periods. The pH increased as increase ratio of alcohol. The color of liqueur became dark as an increase ratio of Maesil and leaching and ripening periods. The contents of alcohol after leaching and ripening for 2 months were 24.3%(1:1), 32.2%(1:2), and 36.0%(1:3), respectively and decreased as an increase the ratio of Maesil. The contents of reducing sugar and polyphenol in the liqueur increased with an increase ratio of Maesil and leaching and ripening periods. The major components of free sugar in the liqueur were fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose but sucrose and maltose did not detect regardless the ratio of Maesil after leaching and ripening for 2 months. The major components of organic acid in the liqueur were citric, lactic, malic, and acetic acids. The total amount of organic acid increased as an increase the ratio of Maesil but the changes of individual organic acid in the liqueur contained different ratio of Maesil showed the different tendency each other.

This study was Performed to evaluate the effective solidification of Cd sludge using cement and power plant fly ash as cement admixture, to identify the leaching characteristics of the heavy metal Cd sludge solidified, and to develope proper KLT(Korean Leaching Test) of hazardous waste. KLT was compared with EPT(Extraction Procedure Toxicity) and TCLP(Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure). Fly ash contents ranged from 0% to 30% of cement weight. The experimental results showed that the optimum amount of fly ash replaced was 10% to 15% and KLT was less appropriate than EPA and TCLP. Also the purpose of the study was to suggest the modification factors on the leaching test currently used, based on the above mentioned aspects. The effects of pH, leaching time, leaching for agitating intensity, and leaching solvent were investigated. As the result of test, the leaching potential was relatively high when the pH and agitation intensity of leaching solution were 5 and 150rpm, respectively. Leaching time of six hours was found to be sufficient and the use of acetic acid as a leaching solvent is more useful in landfill site particularly.

It has been reported that aqueous indirect carbonation process of calcium silicate mineral could be one of the most promising methods for $CO_2$ sequestration. The process consists of two main steps, extraction of Ca from calcium silicate and carbonation of the extracted solution by $CO_2$. Many types of acids such as HCl and $HNO_3$ can be used in the extraction step of the process. In the case of using aqueous acetic acid solution as the extraction solvent, acetic acid can be reproduced at the carbonation step of the extracted solution by $CO_2$ and recycled to extraction step for reuse it. Industrial by-products such as iron and steel slags are potential raw materials of the indirect carbonation process due to their high contents of calcium silicate. In this study, in order to examine the extraction efficiency of domestic electric arc furnace steel slag by aqueous acetic acid solution, extraction experiments of the slag were performed by using the aqueous acetic acid solutions of varying extraction conditions ; acetic acid concentrations, extraction temperatures and times.

This study was carried out to examine the compressive strength characteristics of solids solidified with the lead sludge with mixture of cement and fly ashes as additive. And the additives are commercial fly ash and ESP(Electrostatic precipitator) fly ash. The compressive strength of solidified lead sludge solid was increased by adding fly ash up to 46~62%, which was the results of pozzolanic reaction. When replaced the cement with 10%of commercial fly ash, the solid showed the highest value $210{\;}kg/cm^2$, and the solidification conditions were 0.55 of the water/cement ratio and curing for 14 days. Also, the results of leaching test by EPT(Environmental Protection Agency-Toxicity Test) were showed that the solidified lead has leached out under 10%, which was less than 0.173 mg/L of EPA standard. As leaching solutions, the demineralized water, 0.1N acetic acid solution, and synthetic brine were used. and the observations by SEM of the solidified lead-laden solid after EPT leaching test were indicated the severe erosion on solid surface.

Silver tellurite glasses with melting temperature of approximately 700℃ were developed to immobilize ¹²⁹I wastes. Long-term dissolution tests in 0.1 M acetic acid and disposability assessment were conducted to evaluate sustainability of the glasses. Leaching rate of Te, Bi and I from the glasses decreased for up to 16 d, then remained stable afterwards. On the contrary, tens to tens of thousands of times more of Ag was leached in comparison to the other elements; additionally, Ag leached continuously for all 128 d of the test owing to the exchange of Ag⁺ and H⁺ ions between the glasses and solution. The I leached much lower than those of other elements even though it leached ~10 times more in 0.1 M acetic acid than in deionized water. Some TeO₄ units in the glass network were transformed to TeO₃ by ion exchange and hydrolysis. These silver tellurite glasses met all waste acceptance criteria for disposal in Korea.

This study was carried out to investigate functional quality characteristics of extract obtained after sugar-leaching for 12 weeks (SLE) and extract obtained after lactic acid fermentation for 8 weeks (LFE) of mulberry leaves. The yield, sugar content, pH, and total acidity of SLE were 27%, 43 $^{\circ}Brix$, 4.6, and 0.45%. The yield, sugar content, pH, and total acidity of LFE were 166%, 33 $^{\circ}Brix$, 3.6, and 1.17% respectively. The lactic acid bacteria viable numbers ($1.2{\times}10^{10}$ CFU/ml) of LFE were more than those of SLE ($2.8{\times}10^2$ CFU/ml). The LFE expressed activities of hydrolytic enzymes (amylase, cellulase, pectinase, protease), but SLE did not express. The contents of acetic acid, citric acid, and malic acid of SLE were higher than those of LFE, but lactic acid content of LFE was higher than that of SLE. The main free sugars of SLE were glucose (200.93 mg/g), fructose (236.32 mg/g), and sucrose (18.41 mg/g), but LFE did not detect all free sugars. The contents of polyphenol, anthocyanin, and piperidine alkaloid of LFE were higher than those of SLE. ${\alpha}$-Glycosidase activities were inhibited 3.4% and 16.2% by SLE and LFE. These results suggest that lactic acid fermentation extraction is an effective method to increase the yield and contents of functional quality of mulberry leaves extract.
