In this study, the effects of ammonium concentration ($117.5-1155.0mg-N{\cdot}l^{-1}$), nitrite concentration ($0-50.0mg-N{\cdot}l^{-1}$), and temperature ($15-35^{\circ}C$) on nitrification performance and its functional genes (amoA-arc, amoA-bac, hao) in an enriched consortium inoculated with humic acid were determined. Notably, the maximum nitrification rate value was observed at $315mg-N{\cdot}l^{-1}$ of ammonium, but the highest functional gene copy numbers were obtained at $630mg-N{\cdot}l^{-1}$ of ammonium. No inhibition of the nitrification rate and functional gene copy numbers was observed via the added nitrites. The optimum temperature for maximum nitrification performance was observed to be $30^{\circ}C$. The amoA-bac copy numbers were also greater than those of amoA-arc under all test conditions. Notably, amoA-arc copy numbers and nitrification efficiency showed a positive relationship in network analysis. These results indicate that ammonium-oxidizing archaea and bacteria play important roles in the nitrification process.

The present study aims to investigate the fluorination of thorium oxide ($ThO_2$) by ammonium hydrogen difluoride ($NH_4HF_2$). Fluorination was performed at room temperature by mixing $ThO_2$ and $NH_4HF_2$ at different molar ratios, which was then left to react for 20 days. Next, the mixtures were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) at the intervals of 5, 10, 15, and 20 days, followed by the heating of the mixtures at $450-750^{\circ}C$ with argon gas flow. The characterization of $ThF_4$ was established using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy-dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). In this study, ammonium thorium fluoride was synthesized through the fluorination of $ThO_2$ at room temperature. The optimum molar ratio in synthesizing ammonium thorium fluoride was 1.0:5.5 ($ThO_2:NH_4HF_2$) with 5 days reaction time. In addition, the heating of ammonium thorium fluoride at $450^{\circ}C$ was sufficient to produce $ThF_4$. Overall, this study proved that $NH_4HF_2$ is one of the fluorination agents that is capable of synthesizing $ThF_4$.

Alumina extraction from raw Hadong kaolin with sulfuric acid was studied to obtain relatively pure alumina. Factors as acid concentration, heating temperature and conditions of ammonium alum crystal formation from extracted solution are also surveyed and most of iron oxide in kaolin is eliminated in crystallization of ammonium alum. Pure crystal obtained from the extracted solution with ammonium sulfate is relatively free from iron containment in mother liquor. Alumina in ammonium alum crystal is converted to gibbsite form after complete hydrolysis in ammonia gas.

Environmental risk evaluation of transgenic Brassica napus introduced with glufosinate$.$ammonium-tolerance gene was carried out in a field. It is revealed that there was no difference between transgenic and non-transgenic B. napus for characteristics of ecology and morphology. Transgenic plants did not fertilize to any related Brassica species.

An efficient synthesis of spiroannulated dihydrofurans is achieved from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and exocyclic alkenes in the presence of cerium ammonium nitrate(IV) in moderate yields. In the case of entries 3-9, as a single product was seen. Especially, reaction of 15 with methylenecyclohexane afforded the two regioisomeric cyclo adducts 21 and 22. The structures of these adducts were confirmed by IR and NMR-Spectra.

본 연구에서는 바나듐을 회수하기 위하여 수용액의 바나듐과 염화암모늄 침전반응에 관하여 고찰하였다. 바나듐 함유 수용액 pH 9.2 ~9.4에서는 결정구조가 [$NH_4VO_3$]인 암모늄메타바나데이트가 침전되었고, 바나듐 함유 수용액의 pH를 황산으로 조절하면 결정구조가 [$(NH_4)_2V_6O_{16}$]인 암모늄폴리바나데이트가 침전되었다. 암모늄폴리바나데이트[$(NH_4)_2V_6O_{16}$]는 바나듐 함유 수용액 pH 2에서는 침전온도 $80{\sim}90^{\circ}C$에서, 그리고 수용액 pH 6 ~ 8에서는 침전온도 $40^{\circ}C$에서 침전되었다. 또한 수용액 pH 2인 산성 영역에서 99% 이상의 침전률을 얻기 위해서는 수용액의 바나듐 함량이 3,000 mg/L 이상은 되어야 하며, 침전온도는 $80^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 유지해야 한다. 알칼리 영역에서 암모늄메타바나데이트를 침전시킬 때, 바나듐 함량은 10,000 mg/L 이상 그리고 침전온도는 $40^{\circ}C$로 유지해야 침전률을 높일 수 있었다. 알루미늄은 수용액의 바나듐 함량 및 pH에 상관없이 거의 침전이 일어나지 않았으나, 철 성분은 염화암모늄과 반응하여 암모늄 자로사이트 형태로 침전되며, 따라서 바나듐의 회수율을 높이기 위해서는 Fe 성분을 우선적으로 제거해야만 한다.

본 연구는 제올라이트를 이용한 수중의 암모니아성질소 및 질산성질소 제거특성을 알아보고자 수중의 암모니아성질소 및 질산성질소의 흡착제거에 대한 흡착변화를 조사하였다. 연구결과 암모니아성질소 흡착제거에 대한 제올라이트의 최대흡착량은 120mg/g(암모니아성질소 / 제올라이트 무게)임을 알 수 있었고, 암모니아성 및 질산성질소의 흡착에 대해 Freundlich식과 Langmuir식을 비교해 보았을 때 Langmuir 등온흡착식에 더 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 이는 제올라이트가 피흡착제와 이온교환 및 단층흡착함을 의미한다. 또한, pH 변화에 따른 암모니아성질소의 처리효율은 pH 7 > pH 5 > pH 9 > pH 3 순임을 알 수 있었으며, 제올라이트가 암모니아성질소 인공폐수의 pH를 상승시킴을 알 수 있었다.

Glutamine and urea, abundant in body fluids or plasma, yield net ammonium ions upon hydrolysis by ${\gamma}-glutamyl$ transpeptidase (${\gamma}-GTP$) and urease, respectively, and these two enzymes are largely produced from Helicobacter pylori. To investigate bacterial potential of ammonium production, we first quantified those in whole-cell systems and found that the relative ratio of their amounts varied greatly, especially with pH values and the cell's aging. During the H. pylori cultivation, the ratio appeared to be inversely proportional to each other, showing a progressive increase of the ${\gamma}-GTP$ with decreasing of the urease. Under the urease-defective conditions due to low pH or coccoids, the bacterial cells still possessed a considerable amount of ${\gamma}-GTP$, which was found exclusively in the external compartment, therefore, the cell's ammonium production was found to be solely dependent upon glutamine, and the external ammonium concentration was constant without any contribution of urea concentration. Such ammonium constancy would definitely have an adverse effect on the host, because of its absolute requirement for vacuolar degeneration by H. pylori VacA, maximized at approximately 10 mM $NH_4Cl$. It was also found that, by using the metal-saturated membrane vesicles, ammonium ions were likely to be involved in the pH-dependent cation-flux across the H. pylori membrane, where the role of ${\gamma}-GTP$ in ammonium homeostasis around cells was suggested, especially under the hostile conditions against H. pylori.

A modified graphite felt electrode with neutral red (NR-electrode) was shown to catalyze the chemical oxidation of nitrite to nitrate under aerobic conditions. The electrochemically oxidized NR-electrode (EO-NR-electrode) and reduced NR-electrode (ER-NR-electrode) catalyzed the oxidation of $1,094{\pm}39$ mg/l and $382{\pm}45$ mg/l of nitrite, respectively, for 24 h. The electrically uncharged NR-electrode (EU-NR-electrode) catalyzed the oxidation of $345{\pm}47$ mg/l of nitrite for 24 h. The aerobic bacterial community immobilized in the EO-NR-electrode did not oxidize ammonium to nitrite; however, the aerobic bacterial community immobilized in the ER-NR-electrode bioelectrochemically oxidized $1,412{\pm}39$ mg/l of ammonium for 48 h. Meanwhile, the aerobic bacterial community immobilized on the EU-NR-electrode biochemically oxidized $449{\pm}22$ mg/l of ammonium for 48 h. In the continuous culture system, the aerobic bacterial community immobilized on the ER-NR-electrode bioelectrochemically oxidized a minimal $1,337{\pm}38$ mg/l to a maximal $1,480{\pm}38$ mg/l of ammonium to nitrate, and the community immobilized on the EU-NR-electrode biochemically oxidized a minimal $327{\pm}23$ mg/l to a maximal $412{\pm}26$ mg/l of ammonium to nitrate every two days. The bacterial communities cultivated in the ER-NR-electrode and EU-NR-electrode in the continuous culture system were analyzed by TGGE on the $20^{th}$ and $50^{th}$ days of incubation. Some ammonium-oxidizing bacteria were enriched on the ER-NR-electrode, but not on the EU-NR-electrode.
