This study examined effects of the fermented leachate of food waste (FLFW) on nitrogen and phosphorous removal for domestic wastewater containing a low carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio in sequencing batch reactor (SBR). When the FLFW was not supplied in the process, release of phosphorus and excessive intake was not observed at both anaerobic and aerobic stages. On the other hand, when the FLFW was gradually added, active release of phosphorus and intake of phosphorus was noticed at an anaerobic stage and aerobic stage, respectively, resulting in improved phosphorus removal efficiency. The removal efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus was increased from 75% and 37% (R-1, control test) to 97% and 80% (R-4, the highest substrate ratio test), respectively. In addition, although activity of the nitrogen oxidizing microorganisms was reduced when the reaction temperature was decreased to $10^{\circ}C$, the phosphorus removal efficiency was shown to increase with the addition of FLFW, indicating an independence from temperature. Overall, this study suggests that an efficient nutrients removal process can be successfully employed into a SBR when the FLFW is added to a wastewater which has a low C/N ratio.

질산성 질소는 대표적인 지하수 오염물질로써 우리나라를 비롯한 여러 국가들이 음용수 중의 질산성 질소 농도를 WHO 권고기준인 10 mg/L as N 이하로 규제하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 처리하고자 하는 물질과의 접촉면적을 극대화 시켜줄 수 있는 영가철 충진 복극전해조를 이용하여 지하수 중의 질산성 질소를 처리하기 위해 다양하게 실험조건을 변화시켜 최적의 효율을 얻고자 하였다. 실험결과로서 영가철을 환원제로 사용할 때, 질산성 질소는 산성조건에서 좋은 제거효율을 보여주었으며, 산성조건을 유지시켜주지 않았을 때 암모니아성 질소로 환원되는 과정에서 수산화기 발생으로 pH가 증가하여 환원반응에 필요한 수소이온이 감소함으로 효율이 점차 감소하는 문제가 발생하였다. 복극전해조에서, 영가철과 주문진규사의 충진비는 0.5~1:1에서 제거효율이 가장 좋았으며 이는 각각의 영가철 입자가 미세전극으로 작용했기 때문이라고 판단된다. 충진비 2:1 이상에서는 점진적인 침전물의 형성 및 clogging의 가속화로 제거효율이 감소하였다. 인가전압이 상승할수록 제거효율이 높아졌으나 반응기 내 bypass current가 증가하는 것으로 확인되었으며 소비되는 전력량이 비례 이상으로 증가하였다. 본 실험에서는 최적 인가전압을 50 V로 결정하였고 그 때 질산성 질소를 94.9% 제거할 수 있었다.

During the past ten years, Near Infrared Spectroscopy has been successfully applied to the analysis of a great variety of agriculture products. Previous works (Morra et al., 1991; Salgo et al., 1998) have shown the potential of this technology for soil analysis, estimating different parameters just with one single scan. The main advantages of NIR applications in soils are the speed of response, allowing the increase of the number of samples analysed to define a particular soil, and the instantaneous elaboration of recommendations for fertilization and soil amendment. Another advantage is to avoid the use of chemical reagents at all, being an environmentally safe technique. In this paper, we have studied a set of 129 soil samples selected from representative glasshouse soils from Southern Spain. The samples were dried, milled, and sieved to pass a 2 mm sieve and then analysed for organic carbon, total nitrogen, inorganic nitrogen (nitrate ammonium), hygroscopic humidity, pH and electrical conductivity in the 1:1 extract. NIR spectra of all samples were obtained in reflectance mode using a Foss NIR Systems 6500 spectrophotometer equipped with a spinning module. Calibration equations were developed for seven analytical parameters (ph, Total nitrogen, organic nitrogen, organic carbon, C/N ratio and Electric Conductivity). Preliminary results show good correlation coefficients and standard errors of cross validation in equations obtained for Organic Carbon, Organic Nitrogen, Total Nitrogen and C/N ratio. Calibrations for nitrates and nitrites, ammonia and electric conductivity were not acceptable. Calibration obtained for pH had an acceptable SECV, but the determination coefficient was found very poor probably due to the reduced range in reference values. Since the estimation of Organic Carbon and C/N ratio are acceptable NIIRS could be used as a fast method to assess the necessity of organic amendments in soils from Mediterranean regions where the low level of organic matter in soils constitutes an important agronomic problem. Furthermore, the possibility of a single and fast estimation of Total Nitrogen (tedious determination by modifications of the Kjeldahl procedure) could provide and interesting data to use in the estimation of nitrogen fertilizer rates by means of nitrogen balances.

본 연구에서는 완전혼합 방식의 단일 반응기에서 동시 질산 탈질반응을 구현하여 유입수 내 질소를 효과적으로 제거하고자 하였다. 동시 질산 탈질반응 적용 시 반응조 내의 용존산소 농도와 유입수의 C/N비가 중요한 인자라는 점에 착안하여 적정 용존산소 농도와 C/N비를 규명하고자 하였다. 합성 폐수 실험 결과 0.5 mg/L의 용존산소 농도 및 7 이상의 C/N비에서 안정적인 질소 제거가 이루어짐을 알 수 있었다. 인근 하수처리장 실제 유입수를 이용한 실험결과 0.5 mg/L의 용존산소 농도의 유지만으로는 원래 가지고 있던 낮은 C/N비로 인해 안정적인 질소 제거가 어려웠으나 외부 탄소원(glucose)의 주입을 통해 C/N비를 7 이상으로(최대 14까지) 높여주었을 경우 70% 이상의 안정적인 질소 제거가 단일 반응조에서 가능하였다.

This research work aims at treating saline wastewater generated from a fish market using four Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBR) operated under different conditions. The effect of C/N ratio (3, 6) and salt concentration (0.5~2%) on organic and nitrogen removal was studied. The synthetic wastewater prepared with glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) as the primary carbon source along with ammonium chloride ($NH_4Cl$) was used in the three reactors. The fill, anoxic, aeration, settle and draw conditions were 2 hr, 4 hr, 4 hr and 2 hr respectively. The fourth reactor was operated at different conditions to investigate the practical feasibility of SBR application to handle fish market wastewater generated in Ulsan city that had fluctuating loading characteristics. Though the unacclimated sludge was initially affected by the salt concentration, the acclimated sludge removed 95% of the organics irrespective of the NaCl concentration and C/N ratio. However, the removal of nitrogen was affected more by C/N ratio than the salt concentration. While handling fish market wastewater, though the organic and nitrogen loading rate were varying between $0.009{\sim}0.259gCOD_{OH}/gVSS/day$ and 0.005~0.034 gN/gVSS/day, the effluent concentrations were far less than the effluent standard of $120mgCOD_{OH}/L$ and 60 mgN/L respectively, except when loading rates were fluctuating and 4 times higher than the average.

For developing the cryogenic air separation unit, it requires some technology such as basic process design. equipment design and manufacturing based on the cryogenic physical properties and separation theory. In this study, we developed a process and equipment for producing high purity nitrogen which has the production capacity of 1600N㎥/h under 1 ppm $O_2$ and $H_2O$. Also we found that the number of theoretical plate(NTP) of distillation column was 44 and maximum nitrogen recovery ration of this process was 42% from the process simulation. The performance test was also carried out for the nitrogen recovery ratio and equipment efficiency. The results showed that the optimum nitrogen recovery was 41% and the maximum equipment efficiency was attained.

It has been acknowledged that fertilizer, natural soil nitrogen and animal waste, municipal waste have different mass ratio of nitrogen which is presented as a symbol of $\delta^{15}$N. and that the values of $\delta^{15}$N for fertilizer and natural soil nitrogen and animal waste are placed less than +5$\textperthousand$ and higher than +10$\textperthousand$, respectively. thus, Nitrogen pollution sources and contribution can be interpreted in watershed through $\delta^{15}$N analysis and then, analysis is performed with Kjeldhl-Dumas method. In this study, The values of $\delta^{15}$N are between +1.46$\textperthousand$ and +8.97$\textperthousand$, and the nitrate concentration is placed less than 3.31mg/L and higher than 0.19mg/L, respectively. Thus, this watershed is noncontamination area at the present time. But as a result of $\delta^{15}$N, contribution of natural soil nitrogen be discovered in this watershed, presently.

$Li^+$ and $H^+$ co-exchanged LSXs (Li-H-LSX) with various ratios of $Li^+$ and $H^+$ were prepared, and those adsorption characteristics of nitrogen and oxygen were compared with Li-Na-LSX and Li-Ca-LSX. Li-H-LSX showed higher nitrogen capacity and selectivity than that of Li-Na-LSX in the wide range of Li-exchanged ratio. The nitrogen capacity of Li-Ca-LSX was slightly higher than that of fully Li- or Ca-exchanged LSX (Li- LSX or Ca-LSX). However, Li-Ca-LSX showed low nitrogen/oxygen adsorption selectivity until the Li content reached about 80%, which was a tendency near that of Ca-LSX.

This study was carried out to compare the protein quality of lamb and beef meat. by feeding to growing rats. Sixty weanling rats, 30 males and 30 females, were blocked into 12 groups(6 gruops of males and 6 groups of females). They were fed casein. beef, or lamb as a protein source at two levels, 6 and 15%, for 5 weeks. The amount of food intake. food efficiency ratio, protein efficiency ratio. body weight gain. and the weights of skeletal muscles and liver were measured. Nitrogen retention, protein content in the liver and skeletal muscles, and the levels of protein and cholesterol in the serum were also assayed. Summarzing the results, there were no significant differences between lamb and beef on the growth and nitrogen utilization in the rats fed same percentage of protein diet. However. rats fed 15% protein diet showed significantly higher growth rate than those fed 6%. Therefore, it can be concluded that lamb is as good a protein food as beef in terms of protein quality.
