According to the statistics of the Ministry of Environment, the amount of food waste generated in Korea is 15,903 tons, which accounts for about 30% of the daily household waste. Food waste in Korea is on the rise, and various odors, greenhouse gases, and leachate generated in the process of discharging, transporting, and processing are emerging as social problems. Accordingly, there is a need for a method for recycling food waste. Therefore, this study was carried out to establish an appropriate limiting dose by manufacturing fertilizer mixed with food waste powder and treating it on tomatoes to investigate the growth and yield of crops. The experiment was carried out with continuous cultivation in 2021 (1st year) and 2022 (2nd year), and the treatment groups were set to No Treatment (NT), Chemical Fertilizer (CF), Mixed Fertilizer (MF), and Mixed Fertilizer×2 (MF×2). As a result of the 1st year growth survey, shoot and root length did not show a significant difference between the treatment groups, and the fresh weight showed a significant difference between the MF and MF×2. As a result of the 2nd year growth survey, there was no significant difference in shoot length, root length, and dry weight between the treatment groups, and the fresh weight of the CF was significantly greater than that of the MF×2. The yield of 1st year, MF×2 increased significantly compared to other treatment groups. In the case of 2nd year, CF, and MF×2 show significantly high values compared to NT. Judging from these results, continuous cultivation using food waste powder mixed fertilizer did not have a significant effect on crop growth and yield. However, it is considered that several studies including continuous cultivation experiments are needed to accurately set the appropriate application amount and limit the application amount of the mixed fertilizer for food waste.

A new device to detect methamphetamine (MA), amphetamine(A) and its metabolites in urine was developed using the paper strip method and the test tube method of dry chemical reagents. The reagent containing tetrabromophenolphthalein ethyl ester (TBPE) and borax. For the TBPE paper strip method, a device was prepared with a window at each end of the reagent paper strip ; one window is for the sample application, and the other window is for the methylene chloride. The diffused sample from one window reacts with reagent in the paper and produces color at the point where it meets with methylene chloride which has diffused form the other side. A positive smaple produces as red-purple color and the negative sample a greenish color, with a detection limit of 5-10 ppm. The result can be obtained within one minute. For the TBPE test tube method which contains dry reagents, the detection limit is 5 ppm and the result can be obtaineed within 30 seconds, however the carry-on is not as convenient as the paper strip method. The performance of both methods were evlauated by comparing with the results of gas chromatography (GC) and fluorescence polarizaiton immunoassay (FPIA). The results were proven that both methods were useful as primary screening reagents to detect MA in urine and in dry powder.

[ $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ ](123) powders were synthesized by the solid state reaction method using two different purity $BaCO_3$ powders (99.75% and 99.7% purity) and $Y_2O_3$ (99.9%) and CuO (99.9%) powders. The effect of $BaCO_3$ purity on the formation of a 123 phase and the superconducting properties were investigated. The mixtures of raw powders were calcined at temperature ranges of $800^{\circ}C-880^{\circ}C$ in air and finally made into a single grain samples by a melt processing with top seeding. It was found that a 123 phase was well formed at temperature above $870^{\circ}C$, but the purity effect on the 123 formation was negligible. The single-grain 123 samples prepared from the different $BaCO_3$ powders showed the same $T_c$ value of 90.5 K and similar $J_c$ values about $10^4\;A/cm^2$ at 0 T and 77 K, and $10^3\;A/cm^2$ at 2 T and 77 K. This result indicates that the low purity, cheap price $BaCO_3$ powder can be used as a raw material for the fabrication of single-grain, high-$J_c$ superconducting levitator.

Nano sized ZnO particle as 20-30nm applies for material, pigments, rubber additives, gas sensors, varistors, fluorescent substance as well as new material such as photo-catalyst, sensitizer, fluorescent material. ZnO with a particle size in the range 20-30nm has provided to be an excellent UV blocking material in the cosmetics industry, which can be used in sunscreen product to enhance the sun protection factor and natural makeup effect. But pure ZnO particles application limits for getting worse wearing feeling. We make high-functional inorganic-composite that coated with nano-ZnO on the plate-type particle such as sericite, boron nitride and bismuthoxychloride. In this experiment, we synthesized composite powder using hydrothermal precipitation method. The starting material was ZnCl$_2$ Precipitation materials were used hexamethylenetetramine(HMT) and urea. We make an experiment with changing as synthesis factors that are concentrations of starting material, precipitation materials, nuclear formation material, reaction time, and reaction temperature. We analyzed composite powder's shape, crystallization and UV-blocking ability with FE-SEM, XRD, FT-IR, TGA-DTA, In vitro SPF test. The user test was conducted by product's formulator. In the results of this study, nanometer sized ZnD was coated regardless of the type of plate-powder at fixed condition range. When the coated plate-powders were applied in pressed powder product, the glaze of powder itself decreased, but natural make-up effect, spreadability, and adhesionability were increased.

In this study, binderless consolidation processes of ultra foe Si powder, by-products of making high purity poly-Si in the current method, were systematically investigated for use as economical solar-grade feedstock. The average diameter of the silicon powder was $7.8{\mu}m$. The main contaminants of the fine silicon powder were $SiO_2$ type oxide and humidity. The chemical pretreatment using the HF solution was observed to be effective for the improvement of the compactability of the silicon powder and the density ratio and the strength of the silicon powder compacts. The yield of the binder-free consolidation process increased by 20% under a vacuum condition. In as-received state, the silicon powder were not pure enough to be used as solar grade feed-stock material. After the dry chemical treatments, a sufficiently high purity above solar-grade was able to be achieved.

In this study, we have prepared pure planar-type ZnO and calamine powder containing both ZnO and Fe₂O₃ components as a raw material for cosmetics with UV and blue band blocking functions. The planar-type ZnO ceramic powder having a high aspect ratio in the range of 20:1 to 50:1 was synthesized by precipitation method in a zinc acetate and sodium citrate mixed solution with the electrolyte obtained by power generation with a zinc-air battery. The content of Fe₂O₃ in the artificial calamine ceramic powder could be increased by increasing the amount of iron chloride solution added, and in this case, some of the blue region of visible light and ultraviolet light were remarkably absorbed. When potassium acetate was added, the decomposition of the Zn(OH)₄^2- anion in the solution was promoted to facilitate the growth of ZnO crystal in the form of a barrier wall in the vertical direction on the (0001) plane, which could increase UV absorption by providing more opportunities. By controlling the amount of iron chloride solution and potassium acetate solution added, the composition and shape of the thin film plate-shaped artificial calamine ceramic powder can be optimized, and when applied to cosmetic formulations, the light transmittance of the blue region can be greatly reduced.

Powdery mildew of pepper is one of the most devastating diseases which is occurring all the year under greenhouse condition. In this study, control efficacy against powdery mildew was evaluated by mixed culture solutions of two chitinolytic bacteria, Lysobacter enzymogenenes strain C-3 and Chrornobacterium sp. strain C-61, cultivated in the chitin-supplemented medium. In all experiments, white powder on the reverse side of pepper leaves perfectly disappeared 3 days after application of mixed culture solutions. However, periods required for formation of new white powder on the same sites after application (control-lasting period) were largely differed according to environmental conditions. In particular, the control-lasting period was much longer when sprayed on 6 PM than 9 AM and especially, on rainy days than sunny days. This indicates that control efficacy of culture solution may be largely affected by environmental conditions after application. The undiluted culture solution resulted in a perfect control with control value more than 95% by application of 5-day-intervals under severely diseased field and 7-day-intervals under disease-started field. A ten-fold diluted product also showed control value more than 81% by application of the same method. These results suggest that this culture solution can be practically used to control powdery mildew disease in pepper plants.

In this study, biochar-bead, prepared from biochar powder derived from woody biomass, was used for removal cadmium ion in aqueous solution. Various mixing ratios of alginate solution and biochar powder were used for the production of round shape biochar-bead. An optimum mixing ratio was selected as 1.5% alginate solution and 20 wt% biochar. The produced biochar-bead was characterized by SEM, FT-IR, and XRD analyses. The adsorption capacity of Cd(II) by biochar-bead was found to be 9.72 mg/g which was higher than that by GAC and PAC. According to this study, round shape biochar-bead is expected to be used as a media for reactive barrier or water filtration.

To improve the filtration efficiency of porous materials used in filters, an extensive specific surface area is required to serve as a site for adsorption of impurities. In this paper, a method for creating a hybridized porous alloy using a powder metallurgical technique to build macropores in an Al-4 wt.% Cu alloy and subsequent surface modification for a microporous surface with a considerably increased specific surface area is suggested. The macropore structure was controlled by granulation, compacting pressure, and sintering; the micropore structure was obtained by a surface modification using a dilute NaOH solution. The specific surface area of surface-modified specimen increased about 10 times compare to as-sintered specimen that comprised of the macropore structure. Also, the surface-modified specimens showed a remarkable increase in micropores larger than 10 nm. Such a hybridized porous structure has potential for application in water and air purification filters, as well as membrane pre-treatment and catalysis.

In this study, the ZnS composite powders for host material in phosphor was synthesized in situ by mechanical alloying. As the mechanical alloying time increases, particle size of ZnS decreases. ZnS powders of $1.85\;\mu{m}$ in a mean size was fabricated by mechanical alloying for 10h. The crystal structures of ZnS powders were investigated by X-ray diffraction and the photo-luminescence properties was evaluated with the optical spectra analyzer. The steady state condition of mechanically alloyed ZnS was obtained as a mean particle size of $2\;\mu{m}$ in 5h milling. The sphalerite and wurtize structures coexist in the ZnS mechanically alloyed for 5h. The ZnS powder mechanically alloyed for 10h grows to the sphalerite structure. And the strong emission peaks of ZnS are observed at 480 nm wave length at the powders of mechanically alloyed for 10h, but the sphalerite and wurtize structures in ZnS coexist and emission peaks are not appeared at the powders of mechanically alloyed for 10h.
