Physicochemical properties and mineral compositions of seaweed salts prepared with various seaweeds and concentrated sea water were determined. Ash content of sea mustard was highest (22.7%) and that of laver the lowest (9.8%). Sea mustard contained high amount of Na, while sea tangle and seaweed fusiforme contained high amounts of K and Ca. When insoluble solids were removed after incineration of dried salt, surface color of the salt whitened more due to increase in salt purity with resulting decreases in pH and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), pH and ORP of the ashed salt decreased, and K and Ca contents increased, while Mg content decreased. Yield of seaweed salt was the highest in sea mustard, ORP was lowest in sea tangle and seaweed fusiforme, and K and Ca contents increased significantly in sea tangle and seaweed fusiforme salts. As the concentration of sea water increased, yield and purity of the salts increased with decrease in pH and ORP and increase in Ca and Mg contents. Seaweed salt showed the characteristic crystalline structure as viewed by SEM.

To understand the influences of NaCl concentration and fermentation temperature on the ripening process of low salt fermented squids, squid with 5%, 7% and 9% salt were fermented at 10$\^{C}$ and 20$\^{C}$. The result of the changes of volatile basic nitrogen and free amino acids during the fermentation of squids are as follows. As a result of the observations on the changes of physicochemical components during the fermentation process of the low-salted squids, all the pH, VBN and NH$_2$-N were increased and therefore the fermentation was promoted. Considering the changes of net components according to the fermentation, ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) and ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) lost and could not be detected among the nucleotides and their related compounds. Besides, AMP (Adenosine monophosphate) existed only in the initial stage and inosine, hypoxanthine were the main components of nucleotides and their related compounds. Nonvolatile organic acids are mainly lactic acid, acetic acid and also they occupied more than 80%. Seeing the composition of free amino acid, the major amino acids are proline, arginine, methionine, alanine and glutamic acid.

In those six kinds of diamine salt crystal of which their structures had already been determined up to date, commonly one molecule of diamine and two molecules of acid were combined; although the crystal of benzidine perchlorate, only one molecule each of benzidine and perchloric acid were combined. At the case of benzidine perchlorate, one molecule acts as the role of two molecules by coincidence of the center of symmetry point of both the lattice and molecule, and perchlorate ion is locating symmetrically between two -$NH_2$ groups of different benzidine molecule, therefore benzidine and acid could be combined together with 1:1 by mole ratio. When forming the salt with diamine and acid, the combining mole ratio would be determined in accordance with the relationship between the symmetry element that presented by the space group and the symmetry element of diamine salt melecule.

The dominant species of the sand vegetation in the western coast of Korea were Carex pumila, Ischaemum antheporoides, Calystegia soldanella, Carex kobomugi and Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii. The salt content of the sand dune soil and of the atmosphere of surveyed areas ranged from 3.93 to 13.86 mg% and from 25.81 to 168.86mg% respectively. Between the salt content of the atmosphere and that of the soil positive relationship was found. Species density and Simpson's index increased with the distance from the coast, the former was exponential, however, the latter was linear. The composition of biological types in the investigated stands were H-D4-R1-3-e or H-D4-R1-3-t. Relative numbers of psammophytes and rhizome psammophytes decreased with the distance from the coast, but those of other plants increased. The standing crop of the sand dune vegetation ranged from 0.04 to 491.64g/m2 and the average 27.77g/m2. This was varied as the stands and showed a linear increment as the distance from the coast was increased. The salt content of atmosphere significantly affected the density, T/R ratio in the standing crop and Simpson's index. The salt content of soil showed similar tendency on the density and the T/R ratio.

High salinity and sodicity of soils play a negative role in producing crops in reclaimed tidal lands. To evaluate the effects of soil ameliorants on salt removal in a highly saline and sodic soil of reclaimed tidal land, we conducted a column experiment with treating gypsum, compost, and phosphate at 0-2 cm depth and measured the salt concentration of leachate and soil. Electrical conductivity of leachate was $45-48dSm^{-1}$ at 1 pore volume (PV) of water and decreased to less than $3dSm^{-1}$ at 3 PV of water. Gypsum significantly decreased SAR (sodium adsorption ratio) of leachate below 3 at 3 PV of water and soil ESP (exchangeable sodium percentage) below 3% for the whole profile of soil column. Compost significantly decreased ESP of soil at 0-5 cm depth to 5% compared with the control (20%). However, compost affected little the composition of cations below a depth of 5 cm and in leachate compared with control treatment. It was concluded that gypsum was effective in ameliorating reclaimed tidal lands at and below a soil layer receiving gypsum while compost worked only at a soil layer where compost was treated.

Anchor Engraulis japonica was fermented with $10\%$ and $20\%$ salt at $10^{\circ}C$ ($10\%$ 5A) and $20^{\circ}C$ ($20\%$ SA), respectively, and the changes in lipid content, fatty acid composition and lipid oxidation was observed for 105 days. Peroxide value (POV) in $10\%$ SA reached to the maximum (46.4 meq/kg) on 30 days of fermentation, while in $20\%$ SA, it reached the maximum (54.7 meq/kg) on 45 days of fermentation, and then decreased in both samples during fermentation. Thiobarbituric acid values revealed a similar tendency with the change of POV during the fermentation. These results indicated that lipid of the anchovy was oxidized faster in lower salt than high salt in the early stage. Total lipid (TL) content during the fermentation for 105 days decreased approximately $16\%$ in $10\%$ SA and approximately $33\%$ in $20\%$ SA. Phospholipid (PL) content also decreased in both samples and the content of neutral lipid (NL) was unchanged in $10\%$ SA, while it decreased in the same amount as PL in $20\%$ SA. The prominent fatty acids in TL of the anchovy sample were 14 : 0, 16 : 0, 16 : In-7, 18 : in-9, 20 5n-3 and 22 : 6n-3. After fermentation for 105 days, approximately $87\%$ and $67\%$ of the prominent fatty acids remained in $10\%$ SA and $20\%$ SA, respectively, but the kind of the fatty acids was unchanged.

Waste salt generated from a pyro-processing for the recovery of uranium and transuranic elements has high volatility at vitrification temperature and low compatibility in conventional waste glasses. For this reason, KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) suggested a new method to de-chlorinate waste salt by using an inorganic composite named SAP ($SiO_2-Al_2O_3-P_2O_5$). In this study, the de-chlorination behavior of waste salt and the microstructure of consolidated form were examined by adding $B_2O_3$ and $Fe_2O_3$ to the original SAP composition. De-chlorination behavior of metal chloride waste was slightly changed with given compositions, compared with that of original SAP. In the consolidated forms, the phase separation between Si-rich phase and P-rich phase decreases with the amount of $Al_2O_3$ or $B_2O_3$ as a connecting agent between Si and P-rich phase. The results of PCT (Product Consistency Test) indicated that the leach-resistance of consolidated forms out of reference composition was lowered, even though the leach-resistance was higher than that of EA (Environmental Assessment) glass. From these results, it could be inferred that the change in the content of Al or B in U-SAP affected the microstructure and leach-resistance of consolidated form. Further studies related with correlation between composition and characteristics of wasteform are required for a better understanding.

Magnesium has been used as light and functional material, and its demand is increasing as a material for automobile engine and for mobile phone or notebook PC case. Fused salt electrolysis and thermal reduction are regarded as main methods for the extraction of magnesium, and choice for the method is firstly according to raw material. In this study, magnesium metal is obtained by an electrolysis of magnesium chloride. Two types of fused salt mixtures were used as electrolyte and electrolyzed at 7V with a graphite anode having the same depth, and their results were compared with each other. A mixed salt of $KCl/NaCl/MgCl_2$ was the more effective than $KCl/NaCl/CaCl_2/CaF_2/MgCl_2$ in current efficiency through the experiments at $760^{\circ}C$. Purity of the prepared magnesium metal was above 98%. Some basic data for scale-up of the magnesium electrolysis equipment, which would be necessary for a commercialization, could be obtained.

The aim of this study was to determine the nutritive value of some legume species in salt-affected soils of South-East Anatolian region using chemical composition and in vitro gas production kinetics. In this study, Lotus corniculatus, Trifolium alexandrinum, Medicago sativa were sown and tested in four different locations. A 3 by 4 factorial design with 3 legume species and 4 salt levels (non salty electrical conductivity (EC)<4 dS/m; low salt: 4 dS/m>EC<8 dS/m, medium saline: 8 dS/m>EC<16 dS/m and high salt: 16 dS/m>EC) was used in the study. Results indicated that salinity and plants had no significant effect on ash and ether extract. Dry matter (DM), acid detergent fiber, digestible dry matter, dry matter intake (DMI) were affected by plant, salinity and plant${\times}$salinity interaction. On the other hand neutral detergent fiber, relative feed value (RFV), and DMI were affected by salinity and plant${\times}$salinity interaction. Mineral contents were affected by plant species, salinity and salinity${\times}$plants interactions. In vitro gas production, their kinetics and estimated parameters such as were not affected by salinity whereas the gas production up to 48 h, organic matter digestibility, metabolizable energy (ME), and net energy lactation ($NE_L$) were affected by plant and plant${\times}$salt interaction. Generally RFVs of all species ranged from 120 to 210 and were quite satisfactory in salty conditions. Current results show that the feed value of Medicago sativa is higher compared to Lotus corniculatus and Trifolium alexandrinum.
