Recently, saw dust manure has been widely used in horticultural crop production in Korea. Animal manure is produced by decaying of livestock manure mixed with saw dust, and contained higher nutrients and ion concentration than the traditional manure made from rice straw and grasses. Therefore, a continuous application of the animal manure disregarding to soil characteristics may be ruined the soil conditions. This study was conducted to investigate the transportation of the nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, and ion concentration of the animal manure applied to volcanic and non-volcanic soils in Jeju islana Soil chemical analysis were done before and 180 days after animal manure application. After animal manure application, $NO_3$-N moved up to 90cm in volcanic soil, while the movement was limited to 60 cm in non-volcanic soil. Phosphate concentration was high up to 30 cm, where crop roots are mainly distributed, in volcanic soil, however, the phosphate moved up to 60 cm in volcanic soil. Exchangeable potassium moved up to 90 cm in volcanic soil, but the movement wns limited up to 60 cm in non-volcanic soil. For both soil types, no significant different in ion concentrations was observed up to 60 cm in soil depth, though the concentrations were higher in volcanic ash soils as compared to the non-volcanic ash soils.

Porous ceramics for water-permeable paving brick was prepared by the sintering of mixed materials comprising of sewage sludge ash, waste porcelain fragment, waste glaze and low-grade clay at 1,000$^{\circ}C$ for 2 h, and the physical $.$mechanical properties, the permeability and the freeze-thaw resistance of specimens with preparation parameters were investigated. The physical mechanical properties were increased in specimens while porosity and permeability were decreased with increasing sewage sludge ash content and sintering temperature on the properties of specimens showed the opposite results. The bulk density, porosity, compressive strength and permeability (passed charge) of 30A60F specimens with 30 wt% of sewage sludge ash content, waste porcelain fragment size with 1∼2 mm and sintered at 1,000$^{\circ}C$ for 2 h were 2.17, 46.2%, 221 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 3,150 coulombs, respectively. The permeability was increased with increasing waste porcelain fragment size, however compressive strength was decreased. The freeze-thaw resistance of 30A60F specimen with 1∼2 mm of fragment size was superior to that of the other specimens. The 30A60F specimens can be used for the water-permeable paving brick with the high permeability and adequate strength. The heavy metals included in the all specimens showed lower than the standard level.

Low density ceramic supporter was prepared by using fly ash as a starting mterial with borax or glass powders. Also the wheat powders were used by 30 wt% to increase the initial porosity of the supporter. The density of the supporter decreased as the amount of borax increased. The bulk density of $0.79g/\textrm{cm}^3$ and the apparent density of $1.10g/\textrm{cm}^3$ were obtained when the fly ash with 15% of borax was sintered at $1160^{\circ}C$ for 15 minutes. The density also decreased as the plate glass powders past through $212\mu\textrm{m}$ size were mixed. When the fly ash with 12% of glass powder was sintered at $1280^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes, the bulk and apparent density were $0.90g/\textrm{cm}^3$ and $1.00g/\textrm{cm}^3$, respectively.

In this study, It was carried out to evaluate the feasibility of recycled crushed concrete as aggregate used cement mortar replace sand and to investigate engineering properties of recycled aggregate for hazardous waste solidification. The compressive strength of cement mortar replaced 5-15% (wt.) recycled aggregate was over $163kgf/cm^2$ which is the standard of first grade concrete block class C. And cement mortar was examined to evaluate the stability by leaching test. Cu, Cd, Pb, Cr, and As as the heavy metals were proved very stable but mercury (Hg) was leached high concentration because it was simply tied to the cement surface. We investigated the crystal structures of cement mortar and they had shown the peaks of $Ca(OH)_2$, ettringite, and CSH (calcium silicate hydrate). As the result, the longer curing time, the higher CSH peak that means to increase compressive strength and the cement mortar was more stable. Therefore it was shown that it may be possible to apply hazardous waste solidification using recycled aggregate, fly ash and sewage sludge ash.

Industrial use of waste oyster shells is limited because of requiring excessive energy for converting natural oyster shells in the form of calcium carbonate ($CaCO_3$) into calcium oxide (CaO) for this purpose. This study aimed to develop energy-saving process for producing solidifying agent using waste oyster shells for backfill materials. It was suggested that oyster shells were converted to calcium sulfates which were mixed with sodium hydroxide solution and red clay, forming solid specimen. The optimal concentrations of sulfuric acid for sulfation of oyster shell and sodium hydroxide to generate calcium hydroxide ($Ca(OH)_2$), were determined. Unconfined compressive strength of solid specimen increased with increasing the content of solidifying agent while it increased also with increasing ratio of natural oyster shells to coal ash. The result clearly demonstrates that solidifying agent consisting of sulfuric acid-treated oyster shell, coal ash, and sodium hydroxide solution, can be effectively utilized for preparing backfill materials using natural oyster shell and coal ash. Sulfuric acid-treated oyster shell-based solidifying agent has not been previously developed and will contribute to broaden industrial application of waste oyster shells.

In this paper, the effect of compression levels on the strengths of porous concrete using bottom ash aggregates was analyzed. Coal bottom ash (CBA) was used as aggregate in porous concrete in this study. The aggregate size types used in the CBA concrete mixtures were catagorized into two different ones. One included only a single aggregate particle size and the other included hybrid aggregate particles mixed at a ratio of 8:2 volume proportion. The water-binder ratio was fixed at 0.30, and the compression levels were applied at 0.5, 1.5, and 3.0 MPa valu es to fabricate a porou s concrete specimen. The total porosity, compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural tensile strengths were tested and analyzed. When the compression level increased, the total porosity decreased, meanwhile the compressive, split tensile, and flexural tensile strengths increased. The total porosity of concrete using hybrid aggregate was lower and the strength was larger than those of concrete using single-type aggregate. Finally, the correlation between the total porosity, compressive, split tensile, and flexural tensile strengths of porous concrete were presented. The total porosity and strength characteristics showed an inversely proportional correlation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the properties of Seolgiddeok by mixed ratio of jujube powder and sugar. The proximate composition, water holding capacity, Hunter's color values, texture, and sensory evaluations were examined in this study. The results are as follows. Among the proximate composition of the Seolgiddeok that was made of different ratio of Jujube powder and sugar, moisture content of the control group was 43.93%. As the amount ratio of Jujube powder increased, moisture content slightly increased, and content of crude protein and crude ash was higher. The water holding capacity of Seolgiddeok by mixed ratio of jujube powder and sugar was lower as the amount ratio of Jujube powder increased. The L value, which is Hunter's color values of Seolgiddeok by mixed ratio of jujube powder and sugar, was the highest in the control group. The a and b value was the lowest in the control group and became high as the amount ratio of the jujube powder increased. As amount ratio of jujube powder increased, the hardness, the springiness, the cohesiveness, the gumminess, and the chewiness, of Seolgiddeok became high, but adhesiveness became low. In a sensory evaluation of Seolgiddeok by mixed ratio of jujube powder and sugar, the preference of texture, mouth-feel, and appearance was the highest in the control group. The preference of color, flavor and overall preference were the highest in Seolgiddeok by mixed ratio of jujube powder of 75.0g and sugar 57.6g.

This research was to investigate the invasion and diffusion properties of chloride ion on the concrete containing mineral admixtures by the electrically accelerated test. Mineral admixtures selected in mixes were fly-ash, ground granulated blast-furnace slag, silica fume, and meta-kaolin with 3 degrees of replacement ratios. Tang and Nilsson's test method was used to estimate chloride diffusion coefficients of that mixes. As a result, the total current passing charge and the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion were reduced with the use of mineral admixtures and the increase of replacement ratios. In addition, compressive strength was related with diffusion coefficient of chloride ion. Diffusion coefficients of concrete mixed with ground granulated blast-furnace slag showed relatively low value under the range of compressive strength of 400㎏f/㎠.

As the result of uniaxial compression strength test on the CLMS mixing BFS and SS with BFS 4000, it required to determine the desired strength through increasing unit quantity of cement in mixing process because of dramatic strength deterioration of strength according to increasing replacing rate. In this study's result, regardless of differences in fine aggregates used, in order to get uniaxial compression strength in the scope exceeding criteria of minimum strength for applying to the field, the most reasonable combination was to mix replacing BFS with fineness of 6000 in 30%. For the CLMS mixing BFS and SS, in order to improve flow ability by securing quantity of minimum unit and to repress bleeding rate with securing uniaxial compress strength considering the field applicability, regardless of differences in fine aggregates used, to mix BFS over 6000 in 30% was most effective.

The installation of light oil facilities or delayed cokers seems to be inevitable in the oil refinery industry due to the heavy crude oil reserves and the increased use of light fuels as petroleum products. Petroleum coke is a byproduct of oil refineries and it has higher fixed carbon content, higher calorific value, and lower ash content than coal. However, its sulfur content and heavy metal content are higher than coal. In spite of disadvantages, petroleum coke might be one of promising resources due to gasification processes. The gasification of petroleum coke can improve economic value of oil refinery industries by handling cheap, toxic wastes in an environment-friendly way. In this study, $CO_2$ gasification reaction kinetics of petroleum coke, various coals and mixing coal with petroleum coke have investigated and been compared by using TGA. The kinetics of $CO_2$ gasification has been performed with petroleum coke, 3 kinds of bituminous coal [BENGALLA, White Haven, TALDINSKY], and 3 kinds of sub-bituminous coal [KPU, LG, MSJ] at various temperature[$1100-1400^{\circ}C$].
