Suppression of nitrate accumulation in vegetables through foliar application of micronutrients was investigated. Spinach and lettuce were grown in pots under greenhouse condition. Micronutrient solutions containing Cu, Mn, Mo, and Zn were used; chitosan was added into one and the other contained chitosan oligomers. The micronutrient solutions were sprayed on the leaves at 3 and 4 weeks after transplanting of 20-day-old seedlings. Plants were harvested at 5-weeks after transplanting. Yield, contents of chlorophyll, Brix value, micronutrient, and nitrate, and nitrate reductase activity were measured. Fresh weights of lettuce and spinach were significantly increased by the foliar application of micronutrients. Contents of chlorophyll and micronutrients were higher in micronutrient-treated plants, while those of nitrate were reduced by about 10 and 14-23% in lettuce and spinach, respectively. Compared to the control plants, nitrate reductase activity was higher in plants treated with micronutrients. Results of this study indicate the effect of micronutrients on the suppression of nitrate accumulation was relatively small in comparison to the contents of nitrate in leaves of spinach and lettuce. To maximize the effect, nutrient composition in solution, application time, and frequency should be further examined, taking into consideration nitrogen level in soil and other environmental factors including light condition.

In this paper, to satisfy the temperature requirement of turbopump-inlet condition, the cooling of cryogenic propellant is performed at the simulated suction-line of the Launch Vehicle. The cooling method is by using gas helium injection. This paper investigates the effect of helium injection on liquid nitrogen, which simulates the liquid oxygen. By using helium injection, subcooling of liquid nitrogen can be achieved and in the condition of v/vL≒0.8min-¹ approximately in four minutes subcooling temperature can be achieved.

TAO system and solid-liquid separation (28mesh filter and 200mesh filter) were applied in processing piggery slurry to see the reduction of N and P and to draw the efficiency in reducing manure application area. The results are as follows; 1. The amount of N and P in slurry of $4.6m^3/day$ was 22.5kg/day ($4,893mg/{\ell}$) and 7.32kg/day ($1,592mg/{\ell}$). 2. Reduction rate of N and P by TAO reactor was 9.9 kg/day (46.0%) and 3.47kg/day(34.0%). 3. Reduction rate of N and P by Solid-liquid separation was 10.5kg/day (46.6%) and 5.12kg/day (69.8%). 4. One the basis of the amount of nitrogen composting, the square size of liquid manure sprinkled area was reduced from 74.6ha/y to 39.0ha/y in rice paddy, and from 63.2ha/y to 33.0ha/y by the treatment.

In this study, VOC analysis method of vehicle interior materials and parts treated to visible-light responsive photocatalyst was tested by sample bag filled with air instead of nitrogen. As a result, when analyzed VOC of vehicle interior materials and parts, sample bag filled with the nitrogen was not confirmed of effect reducing VOCs and formaldehyde. However, VOCs and formaldehyde of sample bag that was filled with air instead of nitrogen, decreased significantly. Reaction effect for visible light-responsive photocatalyst was confirmed that sample bag of vehicle interior materials and parts should be filled with air instead of nitrogen.

축산업의 규모가 커짐에 따라 가축분뇨의 발생이 집중화되고 있으며 이 축산폐기물은 올바르게 처리하지 않을 경우 대기 및 수질환경의 오염원이 될 수 있다. 축산농가에서는 분뇨처리의 문제가 가축사육의 중요한 부분으로 대두되고 있다. 가축분뇨를 퇴비화 처리하는 과정에서 발생하는 암모니아가스는 악취의 주요성분을 이루고 있을 뿐만 아니라 퇴비 내에 존재하는 질소성분을 밖으로 유출하는 결과를 초래한다. 따라서 퇴비화하는 과정에서 악취발생의 저감과 또한 발생된 악취의 탈취는 퇴비 내에 포함되어 있는 질소 비료성분의 유출을 방지하고 작업장의 불쾌감과 환경오염을 방지한다는 측면에서 매우 중요한 과제이다.

BACKGROUND: About 81% of nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emissions from agricultural land to the atmosphere is due to nitrogen (N) fertilizer application. Mitigation of $N_2O$ emissions can be more effective in controlling biochemical processes such as nitrification and denitrification in the soil rather than decreasing fertilizer application. The use of urease inhibitors is an effective way to improve N fertilizer efficiency and reduce $N_2O$ emissions. Several compounds act as urease inhibitors, but N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) has been used worldwide. METHODS AND RESULTS: Hot pepper and chinese cabbage were cultivated in five treatments: standard fertilizer of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium(N-P-K, $N-P_2O_5-K_2O$: 22.5-11.2-14.9 kg/ha for hot pepper and $N-P_2O_5-K_2O$: 32.0-7.8-19.8 kg/ha for chinese cabbage), no fertilizer, and NBPT-treated fertilizer of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 times of nitrogen basal application rate of the standard fertilizer, respectively in Gyeonggi-do Hwaseong-si for 2 years(2015-2016). According to application of NBPT-treated fertilizer in hot pepper and chinese cabbage, $N_2O$ emission decreased by 19-20% compared to that of the standard fertilizer plot. CONCLUSION: NBPT-treated fertilizer proved that $N_2O$ emissions decreased statistically significant in the same growth conditions as the standard fertilization in the hot pepper and chinese cabbage cultivated fields. It means that NBPT-treated fertilizer can be applied for N fertilizer efficiency and $N_2O$ emissions reduction.

The purpose of this study is to understand the characteristics of unburned carbon (UBC) and NOx emissions for pulverized coal when air staging combustion is applied. A two-staged drop tube furnace capable of applying air staging combustion was designed and installed. The combustion of sub-bituminous (Tanito) has been investigated. UBC and the NOx concentration were measured under various temperatures and stoichiometric ratios in unstaged and staged combustion. As a result, UBC decreased and the NOx concentration increased with an increase in stoichiometric ratio and temperature. In particular, the NOx reduction mechanism was activated when the temperature in the fuel rich zone increased. Both UBC and the NOx concentration decreased as the temperature increased in the fuel rich zone. A high NOx reduction effect was obtained, compared to the UBC increase, when the air staging technique was applied.
