A Weibull statistical analysis of the mechanical properties of SiC ceramics was carried out by immersion in acidic and alkaline solutions. The heat treatment was carried out at 1373 K. The corrosion of SiC was carried out in acidic and alkaline solutions under KSL1607. The bending strength of corroded crack-healed specimens decreased 47% and 70% compared to those of uncorroded specimens in acidic and alkaline solutions, respectively. The corrosion of SiC ceramics is faster in alkaline solution than in acid solution. The scale and shape parameters were evaluated for the as-received and corroded materials, respectively. The shape parameter of the as-received material corroded in acidic and alkaline solutions was significantly more apparent in the acidic solution. Further, the heat-treated material was large in acidic solution but small in alkaline solution. The shape parameters of the as-received and heat-treated materials were smaller in both acidic and alkaline solutions.

The effectiveness of physiological or chemical acid - alkali solution was investigated as the method to control pH value of nutrient solution in hydroponics dynamically. Lettuces were cultivated using NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ as physiological acid and NaNO$_3$ as physiological alkali or H$_2$SO$_4$ as chemical acid in dynamic control system. The pH of nutrient solution was controlled satisfactorily in the range of pH 5.5-6.5, regardless of treatments. Chemical acid changed pH of solution faster than chemical acid when supplied to the nutrient solution. Any of them did not show any harmful symptom. It is recommended that chemical acid is preferred during the growing stage and physiological acid like as NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ is preferred from several days before harvest stage.

Physicochemical properties of chicken feet gelatin produced under acidic and alkaline conditions were investigated. Amino acid content of chicken feet gelatin was different from that of commercial gelatin due to the differences in raw materials and production process. Yield and hardness of chicken feet gelatin reached maximum at 24 h under acidic condition and at 1 week under alkaline condition, respectively. As the soaking period increased, viscosity and clarity increased under acidic condition, while decreased under alkaline condition. Color of the acid-treated chicken feet gelatin gel was more desirable than that of the alkali-treated on based upon L, a, b values. From gel permeation chromatography of the chicken feet gelatin, 12 subunits were detected. The amount of high molecular weight subunits, which is related to viscosity and hardness, of the alkali-treated chicken feet gelatin was twice as much as that of the acid-treated one.

Disinfecting contaminated swine manure with FMD (Foot-and-Mouth Disease) and pathogenic viruses is very important for maintaining sanitized environment. However, very few research reported on this subject, especially post-disinfection to utilize the wastes as a renewable resource. This research is carried out to obtain basic information for chemical treatment in FMD SOP (Standard Operating Procedure, Korea) of contaminated swine manure. Using lime, sodium hydroxide, citric acid and hydrochloric acid, described in FMD SOP, the effects of chemical treatments on livestock manure were compared in this paper. Four combinations of alkali-acid treatments and four kinds of acid-alkali combinations were tested to find out the effective method. Total coliform bacteria in contaminated swine manure, $1.6{\times}10^4$ CFU/100 ml, decreased to the range of 1/1000~1/100 in all treatments. Some specific disinfectants increases BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and EC(Electric Conductivity), especially, alkaline treatments increases ammonia level than acid treatments. These findings suggest that the treatment methods should be considered as an important environmental factor in post-disinfection of contaminated animal manure with pathogenic microorganisms.

Surimi yields from acid and alkaline processing of 5 fishes were compared to those from conventional processing Effect of sarcoplasmic protein and NaCl on heating gel from acid and alkaline surimi were also investigated by punch test and color. Yield of alkaline surimi was higher than that of conventional surimi. However, the breaking force, deformation and whiteness of heating gel from alkaline surimi were lower than those of heating gel from conventional surimi. The sarcoplasmic protein increased a breaking force and a deformation of gel. A breaking force was decreased, but deformation not significantly with NaCl concentration. Myosin heavy chain (MHC) and actin were greatly degraded in acid processing. Alkaline process for surimi is a valuable way of increasing the utilization of frozen and pelagic fishes, and making kamaboko-type products.

The dietary fiber was extracted from apple pomace with various concentrations of acidic, alkaline solvents and water in $24.4{\sim}29.3%$ yield. The extractions of water-soluble dietary fiber with acidic(6.85%) and alkaline solvent(6.55%) were more effective than the water extraction(6.0%). The higher extraction yield was obtained with increased concentration of acidic or alkaline solvents. The content of galacturonic acid was higher in the order, 0.01 M HCl(77.5%)>0.05 M HCl(76.8%)>$H_2O(76.1%)$>0.05 M NaOH(73.8%)> 0.01 M NaOH(69.0%) and the extraction with acidic solvent showed the highest pectin yield. The color value increased by extraction with solvent in higher concentration. And at equal concentration, the color value of alkaline extract was higher than that of acidic exctract. There was no relationship between the color value and the extraction yield of dietary fiber. In the investigation on the rheological properties, the shear stress increased in proportion to galacturonic acid contents. While water-soluble dietary fiber extracted with acid and water represented Newtonian rheological properties, the alkaline extract was inclined to have converting property from pseudoplastic to Bingham pseudoplastic with increment of alkaline concentration. In the studies on the time-dependence of apparent viscosity, the thixotropic property with hysteresis loop was observed in alkaline extract.

Gilding process make thin membrane with other metals to surface of metal and metalloid. It control the hydrogen ion and oxalic acid density with rinsing work since the process used to acid and alkali. Therefore, in this study, several control method applied the gilding process. It desired to the optimal controller and their results can be save on water resource by useful feed of rinsing. And there is quite a possibility of uniform production due to fixed control of acid and alkali. Also it can be contributed the competition power because of lower production unit cost. Especially, this control method to be developed can be applied to any process without mathematical model. And it can be changed their algorithm more easily, if control object is changed.
