This work carried out experiment to change characteristics of hydrate formation using various chemicals which are acetone, dimethylbutane, polyvinylalcohol, methanol and ethlyene glycol as additives in gas hydrate formation. Gas storage ability of formed hydrate with acetone, firnethylbuthane and polyvinylalcohol in gas hydrate formation increased higher than that obtained with pure water. Among them polyvinylalcohol showed best gas storage ability, so it is a more useful promoter Methanol and Ethylene gl?col in using additives showed the characteristics of inhibitor and methanol is lower gas storage ability than ethylene gl)rcol as a inhibitor in hydrate formation, so it is a more useful inhibitor. But, low concentration of methanol and ethylene glycol showed considerably higher gas storage ability of hydrate than that obtained with Pure water and showed the characteristics of promoter in gas hydrate formation.

Effective way of cooking oil fire extinguishment is using water mist system which has cooling and smothering effects. Low pressure water mist system has advantage because it is compatible with existing sprinkler systems. To increase the effectiveness of low pressure water mist system, additives can be used which increase the momentum of water particle and the chemical effect. In this experiment, aqueous film forming form(AFFF) agent is used as additive and the effect of additive concentration and water pressure are experimented. For the extinguishment of cooking oil fire such as soybean and olive oils, AFFF agent is effective and can decrease the fire extinguishing time and water consumption.

Physico-chemical properties of asphalt, aggregate, and asphalt-aggregate mixture that might influence stripping were summarized in Table 1, based on the fundamental theories concerning stripping. It was found that although physical properties of aggregate affected stripping, there was no strong correlation between the physical properties of aggregate, such as pore volume and surface area, and the stripping propensity of the aggregate. Chemical and electrochemical properties of aggregate surface in the presence of water were most important factors for stripping. All mineral aggregates tested in this study imparted distinctive pH values to the contacting water and possessed distinctive electrochemical properties as measured by zeta potential. It was found that aggregates which had relatively higher surface potential in water and/or which imparted relatively higher pH to the contacting water were more susceptible to stripping. The functionalities contained in antistripping additives tested were primary and secondary amines and those of organic nitrogen compounds. The functionalities were determined by examining their infrared spectra. Based on the interfacial energy concept, the contact angle of an asphalt drop on an aggregate surface immersed in water related to the stripping propensity. The contact angle and stripping propensity were markedly reduced by the presence of an antistripping additive. In general, all the additives tested improved stripping resistance to some extent, depending on their concentration in the asphalts. The optimum dosage of an additive varied with different asphalts, as well as different aggregates. All antistripping additives tested in this study lost their effectiveness and failed to function to some extent when maintained for hours in a hot asphalt.

This paper is studied about the character of mixed soil which is applied lime and water-glass The effectiveness of mining such as cut-off effect and shear strength increasement of the chemically treated soils are investigated. For the main purpose of this study is to develope economical and practical method in chemical mixing method. The principal contents are described as follow. (1) Lime and water-glass series are used as chemical stabilizer and secondary additives in this experiment. (2) This study was analized and compared with engineering properties by the quantity of additives and by the character of chemical stabilizer. (3) And the effects of improvement in those treated soils are investigated as below; the increasement of shear strength, cut.off effect and consolidation character.

This study evaluated the fermentation characteristics and protein degradation dynamics of wet green tea grounds (WGTG) silage. The WGTG was ensiled with distilled water (control), or lactic acid bacteria (LAB), enzyme (E), formic acid (FA) and formaldehyde (FD) prior to ensiling. Three bag silos for each treatment were randomly opened at 0, 3, 7, 14, 28 and 60 days after anaerobic storage. For all the treatments, except for FA, there was a rapid decline in pH during the first 7 days of ensiling. LAB treatment had higher lactic acid content, lower ammonia-N ($NH_3$-N) and free-amino nitrogen (FAA-N) contents than other treatments (p<0.05). E treatment had higher lactic acid, water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) and non-protein nitrogen (NPN) content than the control (p<0.05). FA treatment had higher $NH_3$-N and FAA-N content than the control (p<0.05). FD treatment had lower NPN and FAA-N content than the control, but it did not significantly inhibit the protein degradation when compared to LAB treatment (p>0.05). Results indicate that LAB treatment had the best effect on the fermentation characteristics and protein degradation of WGTG silage.

Until recently, disposal to landfill has been the most convenient way to deal with the increasing amount of residues the shredding industries produce. But the shortage of such disposal sites and the risk that liquid drained from these waste dusts may pollute ground water have increased the environmental pressures to find more effective solutions. The present study is an alternative approach that suggests identifying waste dusts characteristics and selecting an appropriate binder for hazardous materials to reduce the amount of contaminants (mainly lead) that were leaking into the soil. Investigations on the characteristics of automobiles waste dusts show that these materials are composed mainly of cottons and sponge like substances, plastics, rubber, glasses and gravel, metals, and electric wires. Besides, the percentage in weight of organic (inflammable) materials is about 70% and the lead contamination, which has not a ionic but a particulate nature, is particularly remarkable in cottons and sponge like materials. Binding additives such as K-20 and sodium carbonate were not effective but the addition of 5 % of cement (in weight of the investigated sample) followed by a 3-minute stirring and a 4-hour storage could drastically reduce the run off of lead below the maximum authorized level. No addition of water was necessary in this method.

Experiments have carried out to investigate the effects of parameters, such as mass ratio of R141b-to-water, stirrer speed, brine inlet temperature, brine flowrate, and additives, on the performance of the cool storage system using R141b clathrate. The cool storage system in this experiment was composed of storage tank, refrigerator, and heater. The results show that the mass ratio of R141b-to-water, 1 : 3~1 : 3.5 gives the best performance and the stirring speed has optimum point as 600rpm. At this speed impeller Reynolds number is $1.01{\times}10^5$. The lower the inlet brine temperature and the highter the brine flowrate, the better performance. The addition of metal powder turned out to reduce the degree of supercooling. The supercooling reduction was proportional to the amount of the metal power. However when metal powder was added more than 0.1 wt%, there was no additional supercooling reduction. The surfactants shortened the time consumed for cool storage to the half of no surfactant added case.

Catechin compounds from the Green tea cultivated in Bosung (Chollanamdo) were extracted using supercritical fluid and various additives, and analyzed by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The chromatographic column was packed with LiChrospher 100RP-18(15 $\mu$m), and water was used as the mobile phase with 0.05% phosphoric acid and acetonitrile. Gradient election was applied to separate EGCG by changing the mobile phase compositions. Comparing the extraction yield of three different types of supercritical fluids, pure CO$_2$, with additives of water and ethanol (5 wt,%), the extraction amount of EGCG was most abundant in the suprcritical CO$_2$with ethanol. However, more was extracted and pure higher purity was achieved by solvent extraction using ethanol.
