Effect of several nitrogen fertilizer sources on the chlorine absorption by the burley tobacco plants was investigated under the field and pot condition. The nitrogen sources included compound fertilize.(containing 3.9% NH4-N and 6.1% NH2-N), (NH4)2SO4, NaNO3. (NH2)2CO and NH4NO3. The chlorine content of leaf during growing stage was high in (NH4)2SO4 plot , and the differences among nitrogen sources was remarkable at maximum growing stage. The chlorine content of cured leaf was high in (NH4)2SO4 plot. When the (NH4)2SO4 was applied, the total alkaloid content of cured leaf was increased and the color of cured leaf became undesirable with the increment of leaf chlorine. The yield, quality and value of cured leaf were high in NaNO3 plot , while low in (NH4)2SO4 plot.

A bacterial strain AE-1-3, isolated from soil and wastewater identified as Pseudomonas strain, removed $NH_4^+\;and\; NO_3^-$ simultaneously in anaerobic cultivation in a medium containing $0.1\%\;NH_4NO_3\;and\;3.0\%$ glucose. The strain removed $NH_4^+\;,\;NO_3^-\;and\;NO_2^-$ completely in 15 days of anaerobic cultivation. Though N03- removed completely, $33\%\;of\;NH_4^+$ remained in 15 day of incubation in $1\%$ glucose and $0.1\%\;NH_4NO_3$ medium. The bacterium could remove $0.1\%\;NH_4NO_3$ completely in a short time by addition of $Cu^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;Sn^{2+}\;in\;0.5\%$ glucose medium. By chaning the metal concentration, $0.3\%\;NH_4NO_3$ could be removed completely.

Effect of NO$_3$:NH$_4$ratio and pH of nutrient solution on nitrate content of leaves was investigated for leaf lettuce(Lactuca sativa L.) grown by a deep flow technique. Ratios(in me.L$^{-1}$ ) of NO$_3$:NH$_4$tested were 12:1, 10:3 and 8:5. The treatment of 8:5 NO$_3$:NH$_4$ratio had two solutions, one with uncontrolled pH and the other with automatically controlled pH. Solution pH continuously increased in 12:1 NO$_3$:NH$_4$treatment. Solution pH decreased gradually more as NH$_4$ratio increased. Treatment of 8:5 NO$_3$:NH$_4$with automatic pH control satisfactorily maintained the solution pH in the range of pH 5.5-6.0. Nitrate content in leaves was the greatest in treatment of 12:1 NO$_3$:NH$_4$ and the least in treatment of 8:5 NO$_3$:NH$_4$with automatic pH control. Fresh weight decreased in treatments of 10:3 and 8:5 NO$_3$:NH$_4$, whereas it increased in treatments of 12:1 and 8:5 NO$_3$:NH$_4$with pH control. It was concluded that the growth and leaf nitrate content were the greatest in high NH$_4$treatment with automatic pH control.

The tetranuclear complexes, $X_2[M_{O4}O_12{R'C(NH_2)NO}_2](X= n-Bu_4N^+$, $R'=(CH_3)_2CH$, $CH_3CH_2CH_2$, $CH_3SCH_2$; $X=(CH_3)_2CHC(=NH_2)NH_2^+$, $R'=(CH_3)_2CH$; $X = CH_3CH_2CH_2C(=NH_2)NH_2^+$, $R'=CH_3_CH_2CH_2$; $X=CH_3SCH_2C(=NH_2)NH_2^+$, $R'=CH_3SCH_2)$ have been synthesized by the reactions of monomeric and polynuclear complexes with isobutyl-, butyl- and thiomethylacetamidoxime. The prepared complexes were identified by elemental analysis, infrared, $^1H$ NMR and $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopy. The structure of complex ${(CH_3)_2CHC(NH_2)_2}_2[M_{O4}O_{12}{(CH_3)_2CHC(NH_2)NO}_2]$ was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. Crystal data are follows: Monoclinic, $P2_{1/c}$, $a=10.168(3){\AA}$, $b=11.768(1){\AA}$, $c=13.557(1){\AA}$, ${\beta}=102.08(1)^{\circ}$, $V=1586.2(5){\AA}^3$, Z=2, final R=0.026 for 2951($F_0>3s(F_0)$). This complex is composed of a planar cyclic $[Mo_4({\mu}-O)_4]$ and two ${\mu}_4$-amidoximate.

The adsorption of $NH_4\;^+$ and $Zn^{2+}$ by four Korean zeolites, the major species of which are clinoptilolite, clinoptilolite with mordenite, mordenite with clinoptilolite, and mordenite was measured in different concentrations of solutions of $NH_4\;^+$ and $Zn^{2+}$, and their mixtures. The adsorption of $NH_4\;^+$ was greater than that $Zn^{2+}$ far all samples at the concentrations of the added solutions from $1\;to\;7{\times}10^{-3}N$ and this difference was greater at the higher concentrations. Also, $Zn^{2+}$ adsorption by samples was decreased by the presence of $NH_4\;^+$, but that of $NH_4\;^+$ by the presence of $Zn^{2+}$ was not. The extent of $NH_4\;^+$ selectivity among samples was increased in order of clinoptilolite with mordenite$NH_4\;^+$ adsorbed by six successive equilibrations with the solution containing both $NH_4\;^+$ and $Zn^{2+}$ each at a concentration of $3{\times}10^{-3}N$ were in range from 43.7 to 50.4 me/100g, whereas those amounts of $Zn^{2+}$ were in the range from 6.6 to 17.0 me/100g. It was suggested from these results that mordenite and clinoptilolite, particularly the former, can be used for removal of $NH_4\;^+$ from municipal wastewater and those zeolites treated with wastewater can be applied to agricultural land.

The chlorination of reagent PbS and natural ore galena with $NH_4Cl$ was investigated to find a new extraction metallurgical process of lead. The proper conditions for the chlorination of galena were that reaction temperature ; $425^{\circ}C$, $NH_4Cl$ weight ratio to galena ; 4.0 and reaction time ; 2hrs. Under these conditions, PbS was successfully chlorinated to $PbCl_2$ and the conversion was 90%. And also $NH_4Cl$ was effectively decomposed and was separated $NH_3$ and HCl. HCl was a chlorinating agent and 90% of $NH_3$ was recovered through this chlorination reaction.

Concentration of volatile particulate nitrate(NH$_4$NO$_3$) in TSP in ambient air was determined from Feb. to Oct 1993. Sampling was carried out using a two-stage Andersen air sampler at the top of a five-story building located at Kon- Kuk University in Seoul Concentration of NH$_4$NO$_3$ in TSP was measured by Pyrolysis of sample filters at 16$0^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. Concentration of NH$_4$NO$_3$ was higher in winter time compared with that in summer time. Also, concentration of NH$_4$NO$_3$ was higher in fine particles compared with that in coarse particle. The range of NH$_4$NO$_3$concentration was between 2.99 and 9.86 $\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥. Weight fraction of NH$_4$NO$_3$ in total particulate nitrate was 31.1~59.5%, and weight fraction of NH$_4$NO$_3$ in YSP was 2.1~11.2%.

This experiment was carried out to find optimum ratio of $NO_3^-$ to $NH_4^+$ in nutrient solution for the growth of Phalaenopsis hybrid and find the effect of the ratio of $NO_3^-$ to $NH_4^+$ on the flower stem (inflorescence) quality. The ratio of $NO_3^-$ to $NH_4^+$ of nutrient solution used in this experiment was 100% : 0%, 90% : 10%, 80% : 20% and 70% : 30%. Phalaenopsis showed better growth when $NH_4^+$ was supplied concurrently with $NO_3^-$ as nitrogen source than supplied with only $NO_3^-$. Especially, increasing the ratio of $NH_4^+$ from 0% to 10% the fresh weight and dry weight of Phalaenopsis hybrid was highest. But, the growth of shoot and root was diminished when the proportion of $NH_4^+$ in nutrient solution was increased from 10% to 30%. Inflorescence length, the number of inflorescence and flower per plant all increased as $NH_4^+$ increased from 0% to 10% but, decreased from 10% to 30%. These results suggest that the optimal ratio of $NO_3^-$ and $NH_4^+$ in nutrient solution for the growth of Phalaenopsis including inflorescence was founded to be 90%:10%.

The effect of NO$_3$-N and NH$_4$-N ratio on the growth of Perilla frutescens in deep flow culture was studied in winter season. NO$_3$-N and NH$_4$-N were treated in the ratios of 12 : 0, 9 : 3, 6 : 6(me/ $\ell$ ). The pH of the nutrient solution was increased an NO$_3$-N:NH$_4$-N=12 : 0 treatment, and decreased in the treatments containing NH$_4$-N, greatly in NO$_3$-N : NH$_4$-N = 6 : 6 treatment. The EC was increased regardless of treatments, but more increased in the treatments containing NH$_4$-N. The stem-base circumference, plant height, root weight, shoot weight, and yields of leaves were by far the highest in NO$_3$-N:NH$_4$-N=6 : 6 treatment and the lowest in NO$_3$-N:NH$_4$-N= 12 : 0 treatment. Among the mineral contents of leaves, N, K, Fe and P were higher in the treatments containing NH$_4$-N. Ca, Mg and Mn were higher in NO$_3$-N :NH$_4$-N= 12 : 0 treatment.

This study is to evaluate the performance of draw solutions in forward osmosis desalination using fertilizer as draw solution. Considering osmotic pressure, solubility, and pH, $NH_4NO_3$, $NH_4H_2PO_4$, $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, KCl, $KNO_3$, and $KHCO_3$ were screened from a comprehensive lists of fertilizer. Their performance were evaluated in terms of pure water permeate flux, reverse solute flux, and specific reverse solute flux for nitrogen and phosphorus. KCl showed the highest pure water permeate flux among the selected fertilizers while $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ draw solution had the lowest flux. $NH_4H_2PO_4$ showed the lowest reverse solute flux and specific reverse solute flux for nitrogen followed by $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, $KNO_3$, and $NH_4NO_3$. Although the pure water permeate flux of $NH_4H_2PO_4$ is lower than the other draw solutions, because it contains both nitrogen and phosphorus, and have the lowest reverse solute flux and specific reverse solute flux, it is a promising candidate as draw solution for forward osmosis desalination.
