This study was to verity that the uptake inhibition and accumulation of nitrogen in different potassium levels. Lettuce was used as model plant in this study and grown in pot of 10cm's in diameter and depth with mixture media of vermiculite and perlite under supply of different culture solution for three weeks. Nitrogen absorption at root was inhibited by increased potassium concentration in nutrient solution, and nitrate accumulation of plant was depended on absorption of nitrogen because nitrate content of 0 K level was 4-5 times higher than that of 2 K level, Concentration of ascorbic acid was decreased by increasing the nitrogen absorption, since ascorbic acid (AsA) content of 2K level was higher than those of OK level in both of old leaf and flesh leaf.

This article explains the experimental results of ferroelectric polarization switching (FPS) of potassium nitrate ($KNO_3$) with different polymers such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) using simple melt-press techniques. To analyze the ferroelectric polarization switching in potassium nitrate ($KNO_3$) composite films at room temperature, we applied the Ishibashi and Takagi theory (based on Avrami model) to the switching current transient. To investigate the dimensionality of domain growth, the ferroelectric polarization switching current (FPS current) was observed from the square - wave bipolar signals across a resistance of $0.1k{\Omega}$ in series with the composite films. The existence of a switching current transient pulse confirmed the ferroelectricity and indicated the stability of the ferroelectric phase (phase III) of $KNO_3$ at room temperature. Polarization hysteresis (P-E) characteristics supported the prominent features of ferroelectric polarization switching in the composite films at room temperature.

This article presented two-staged chemical precipitation for radioactive wastewater decontamination by using chemical agents. The total amount of radioactive wastewater was $35m^3$, and main radionuclides were Cs-137, Cs-134, and Co-60. Initial radioactivity concentration of the liquid waste was 2264, 17, and 9 Bq/L for Cs-137, Cs-134 and Co-60, respectively. Potassium ferrocyanide, nickel nitrate, and ferrum nitrate were selected as chemical agents at high pH levels 8-10 according to the laboratory jar tests. After the process, radioactivity was precipitated as sludge at the bottom of the tank and decontaminated clean liquid was evaluated depending on discharge limits. By this precipitation method decontamination factors were determined as 66.5, 8.6, and 9 for Cs-137, Cs-134, and Co-60, respectively. By using the potassium ferrocyanide, about 98% of the Cs-137 was removed at pH 9. At the bottom of the tank, radioactive sludge amount from both stages was totally $0.98m^3$. It was transferred by sludge pumps to cementation unit for solidification. By chemical processing, 97.2% of volume reduction was achieved. The potassium ferrocyanide in two-staged precipitation method could be used successfully in large-scale applications for removal of Cs-137, Cs-134, and Co-60.

The purpose of this study was to achieve the reduction of the galvanic current between the dental amalgam alloy and gold alloy. In order to measure the galvanic current between these two metals a prep in the size of $4{\times}13mm$ which was filled with amalgam and another prep of $4{\times}2mm$ was filled with gold alloy was made in the acrylic resin. These two preps were then connected to a 2mm diameter copper wire. Using an ammeter to measure the galvanic current, six different kinds of amalgam and gold alloy were immersed in saline solution with approximately 10mm distance between the two alloys. Chemical agents that are thought to reduce the galvanic current such as hydrazine. silver nitrate, potassium chromate, and bonding agents such as Scotch bond 2(3M) and All bond 2(Bisco) were applied to the alloy surface. Cathodic inhibitor such as hydrazine was applied to gold alloy where as anodic inhibitor such as silver nitrate and potassium chromate were applied to amalgam. Both bonding agents, Scotch bond 2(3M) and All bond 2 (Bisco), were applied to amalgam. The following results were obtained when the currency on the coated alloy surface was compared to the uncoated surface. 1. The galvanic currency went down as the time elapsed and after 30 minutes no change was detected. 2. Initial currency was higher in low copper amalgam compared to high copper amalgam. Intitial currency was the highest in low copper lathe-cut amalgam. 3. Group of gold coated with hydrazine had the most reduction in galvanic currency. 4. Group of amalgam coated with silver nitrate or potassium chromate also showed significant reduction in galvanic currency. 5. The bonding agents also helped reduce galvanic currency. 6. Of all the agents used to reduce galvanic currency, silver nitrate showed the best result.

칼륨(K)은 식물체 성장을 위한17가지 필수 영양소중의 하나이지만 식물체를 구성하는 필수 구성물질은 아니다. 그러나 칼륨은 식물체내에서 여러가지 효소작용과 효소와 관련된 여러가지 대사과정에 관여를 하는 중요한 영양소이다. 칼륨이 잔디의 성장에 영향이 있는 경우와 없는 경우의 결과들이 많은 연구결과를 통해서 보고가 되었음에도 불구하고, 우리나라에서는 다양한 칼륨의 종류에 따른 잔디의 생육에 관한 연구결과가 부족한 것이 현실이다. 본 실험의 목적은 6종류의 칼륨에 따른 켄터키블루그래스의 생육을 조사하기 위하여 수행되었다. 실험에 사용된 칼륨의 종류로 potassium nitrate (13-0-44, PN), potassium chloride (0-0-60, PC), potassium sulfate (0-0-50, PS), polymer-coated potassium sulfate (0-0-45, PPS), potassium thiosulfate (0-0-25, PT), potassium sulfate granulated with methylene urea (20-0-25, PSU) 등 6종류가 사용이 되었다. 실험을 위해 질소와 칼륨이 각각 20와 $30g\;m^{-2}\;yr^{-1}$의 양이 4번에 나누어 실험구에 적용되었다. 칼륨의 종류에 따른 처리에 의해 잔디의 색, 품질, 엽록소 지수, 예지물생산량등에 있어서 부분적으로 유의성이 발견되었지만, 일관성 있는 결과는 나타나지 않았다. 본 실험에서 칼륨의 종류에 따라 켄터키블루그래스의 생육에 미치는 영향은 발견되지 않았다.

본 연구는 제주도 백록담 담수호에서 해안변 용천수에 이르는 고도별로 대표적인 55개 용천수에 대한 지역적 수질특성과 그 진화과정을 연구하였다. 조사지역 55개 용천수의 수질분석 결과 관음사물은 수소이온농도에서, 유수암천, 장수물, 덕지샘물, 신촌큰물, 영천사, 운량천, 하원통물, 동해물, 색달생수, 안덕계곡, 화순곤물, 돗물, 화강물, 정금물은 주변 육상오염원들에 의해서, 삼양제3수원, 신촌큰물, 명법사, 서느렁물, 토산물, 정금물, 곽지물, 애월하물, 고내물, 녹고물은 해수침입에 의해 오염이 진행중인 용천수들로 분류되었다. 용천수내의 전기전도도, pH, 질산성질소, 중탄산이온은 강수량이 많았을 때 그 농도가 증가하였으며, 나트륨, 염소이온, 황산이온은 강수량이 많았을 때 그 농도가 감소하였고, 칼륨과 마그네슘, 칼슘은 영향이 미미하였다. Piper의 삼각다이어그램을 통한 조사지역 용천수의 수질특성을 보면 고산지역은 Sodium or Potassium type과 bicarbonate type의 군을 이루었고, 중산간지 역은 Sodium or Potassium type과 No dominant type의 군을 형성하였으며, 저지대지역은 No dominant type과 Sulfate or Nitrate type의 군을, 해안지역은 Sodium or Potassium type과 Chloride type 및 No dominant type의 복잡한 용천수군을 형성하고 있었다. 즉 제주도 용천수는 해발고도가 높은 고산 및 중산간지역에서는 bicarbonate type이 우세한 수질조성에서 저지대 및 해안지역으로 유동되면서 non-bicarbonate type 형태의 수질로 변질되어가고 있었다.

The leaching of nitrate from soil increases the concentration of elements, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, in water, causing eutrophication. In this study, the feasibility of using clinoptilolite as an ion-exchange material to reduce nitrate leaching in soil was investigated. Soil samples were collected from three soil depths (0 - 30, 30 - 90, and 90 - 120 cm), and their sorption capacity was determined using batch experiments. The effects of contact time, initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, pH, and temperature on the removal of NO₃^- were investigated. The results showed that an initial concentration of 25 mg L^-1, a contact time of 120 min, an adsorbent dosage of 5.0 g/100 mL, a pH of 3, and a temperature of 30 ℃ are favorable conditions. The kinetic results corresponded well with a pseudo-second-order rate equation. Intra-particle diffusion also played a significant role in the initial stage of the adsorption process. Thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption process is spontaneous, random, and endothermic. The results suggest that a modification of clinoptilolite effectively reduces the leaching of nitrate in soil.
