Though the tradition of Korean mathematics since the ancient time up to the "Enlightenment Period" in the late 19th century had been under the influence of the Chinese mathematics, it strove to develop its own independent of Chinese. However, the fact that it couldn't succeed to form the independent Korean mathematics in spite of many chances under the reign of Kings Sejong, Youngjo, and Joungjo was mainly due to the use of Chinese characters by Koreans. Han-gul (Korean characters) invented by King Sejong had not been used widely as it was called and despised Un-mun and Koreans still used Chinese characters as the only "true letters" (Jin-suh). The correlation between characters and culture was such that , if Koreans used Han-gul as their official letters, we may have different picture of Korean mathematics. It is quite interesting to note that the mathematics in the "Enlightenment Period" changed rather smoothly into the Western mathematics at the time when Han-gul was used officially with Chinese characters. In Koryo, the mathematics existed only as a part of the Confucian refinement, not as the object of sincere study. The mathematics in Koryo inherited that of the Unified Shilla without any remarkable development of its own, and the mathematicians were the Inner Officials isolated from the outside world who maintained their positions as specialists amid the turbulence of political changes. They formed a kind of Guild, their posts becoming patrimony. The mathematics in Koryo is significant in that they paved the way for that of Chosun through a few books of mathematics such as "Sanhak-Kyemong, "Yanghwi - Sanpup" and "Sangmyung-Sanpup." King Sejong was quite phenomenal in his policy of promotion of mathematics. King himself was deeply interested in the study, createing an atmosphere in which all the high ranking officials and scholars highly valued mathematics. The sudden development of mathematic culture was mainly due to the personality and capacity of King who took any one with the mathematic talent onto government service regardless of his birth and against the strong opposition of the conservative officials. However, King's view of mathematics never resulted in the true development of mathematics per se and he used it only as an official technique in the tradition way. Korean mathematics in King Sejong's reign was based upon both the natural philosophy in China and the unique geo-political reality of Korean peninsula. The reason why the mathematic culture failed to develop continually against those social background was that the mathematicians were not allowed to play the vital role in that culture, they being only the instrument for the personality or politics of the King. While the learned scholar class sometimes played the important role for the development of the mathematic culture, they often as not became an adamant barrier to it. As the society in Chosun needed the function of mathematics acutely, the mathematicians formed the settled class called Jung-in (Middle-Man). Jung-in was a unique class in Chosun and we can't find its equivalent in China of Japan. These Jung-in mathematician officials lacked tendency to publish their study, since their society was strictly exclusive and their knowledge was very limited. Though they were relatively low class, these mathematicians played very important role in Chosun society. In "Sil-Hak (the Practical Learning) period" which began in the late 16th century, especially in the reigns of King Youngjo and Jungjo, which was called the Renaissance of Chosun, the ambitious policy for the development of science and technology called for the rapid increase of the number of such technocrats as mathematicians inevitably became quite ambitious and proud. They tried to explore deeply into mathematics per se beyond the narrow limit of knowledge required for their office. Thus, in this period the mathematics developed rapidly, undergoing very important changes. The characteristic features of the mathematics in this period were: Jung-in mathematicians' active study an publication, the mathematic studies by the renowned scholars of Sil-Hak, joint works by these two classes, their approach to the Western mathematics and their effort to develop Korean mathematics. Toward the "Enlightenment Period" in the late 19th century, the Western mathematics experienced great difficulty to take its roots in the Peninsula which had been under the strong influence of Confucian ideology and traditional Korean mathematic system. However, with King Kojong's ordinance in 1895, the traditonal Korean mathematics influenced by Chinese disappeared from the history of Korean mathematics, as the school system was changed into the Western style and the Western matehmatics was adopted as the only mathematics to be taught at the schools of various levels. Thus the "Enlightenment Period" is the period in which Korean mathematics sifted from Chinese into European.od" is the period in which Korean mathematics sifted from Chinese into European.pean.

양돈 폐수로부터 NH₃를 제거하기 위해서 양돈 폐수의 무게 대비 MgO(wt. %)의 양을 변화시키면서 양돈 폐수에 주입하였다. 24시간 동안 폭기시키면서 MgO (0.8 wt. %)로 처리한 양돈 폐수는 미처리 양돈 폐수에 비하여 NH₃ 가스 발생량이 75.5% 감소하였으며, 1개월 동안 밀폐된 상태에서도 NH₃ 가스가 거의 발생하지 않았다. 본 연구에서 사용한 MgO는 양돈 폐수의 pH를 상승시켜 NH₃가 가스 형태로 탈기될 수 있는 조건을 제공해 주었으며, 과량 주입할 경우에도 호기성 미생물 활동에 악영향을 줄 수 있는 pH 10.5를 초과하지 않았다. 양돈 폐수에서 제거되지 않고 남아 있는 NH₄⁺는 인산과 MgO를 첨가하여 스트루바이트의 형태로 침전시켜 제거하였다. 스트루바이트를 합성하기 위해서 NH₄⁺의 몰비와 동일하게 인산과 MgO를 주입하고 황산을 첨가하여 양돈 폐수의 초기 pH를 5로 조정한 후 점진적으로 폐수의 pH를 상승시켰다. pH 6에서 흰 침전물 소위 스트루바이트가 생성되기 시작하여 pH 10까지 지속적으로 합성이 이루어졌다. 총 86.1%의 NH₄⁺ 제거 중에서 62.4%가 약산성인 pH 6에서 제거되었다. 침전물 중에 스트루바이트의 존재를 XRD로 조사하였고 그 결과 pH 6에서 침전물이 스트루바이트의 결정성을 갖는다고 확인되었다. pH 7~10인 조건에서는 스트루바이트가 비결정질 형태로 존재하며, pH가 11인 이상에서는 생성된 스트루바이트가 완전히 붕괴되었다. 침전물 내에서 스트루바이트의 수득률은 에너지 분산형 X-ray, 열중량분석기, 원소분석기의 결과치를 바탕으로 하여 68%~84%임을 확인할 수 있었다. 만약 NH₃가 제거된 양돈 폐수를 건조 퇴비에 뿌려 부숙하게 된다면 퇴비의 부숙 기간 동안 NH₃로 인한 악취를 상당히 감소시킬 수 있을 것이다. 이와 더불어, MgO로 처리한 양돈 폐수는 가축 퇴비에 인과 질소를 보충하는 역할을 담당할 수 있을 것이다. 앞으로도 본 연구를 계속적으로 진행하여 국내에서 친환경퇴비를 생산할 수 있는 기틀을 마련하고자 한다.
