This work provides an overview of the steel production process, pretreatment and tramp elements of scraps and recycling technology of dust generated from steelmaking process. Steel is the most common metal used by mankind, with the world production of crude steel in 2018 exceeding 1.8 billion tonnes. Recycling of ferrous scraps reduces CO₂ emissions by about 42 % and saves about 60 % of energy, compared to production steel from iron ore. Steel scraps are usually recycled to both an electric arc furnace (EAF), scrap-based steelmaking and the basic oxygen furnace (BOF), in ore-based steelmaking. EAF steelmaking, which uses iron scrap as a main raw material, is changing to an energy-saving type with a device for preheating scrap. Dust generated from the steelmaking process is recycled in various ways in the steel mill to recover iron and zinc.

The reductive amination of three ${\alpha}$,${\beta}$-unsaturated aldehydes, cinnamaldehyde, crotonaldehyde, and acrolein are carried out successfully by tetracarbonylhydridoferrate in the presence of various primary amines. In a typical reaction, a mixture of potassium tetracarbonylhydridoferrate (22 mmole), an amine (22∼44 mole) and ${\alpha}$,${\beta}$-unsaturated aldehyde (22 mmole), in ethanol (30∼50 ml) was stirred for 9∼60 hours at room temperature under carbon monoxide atmosphere. All the products were characterized as secondary amines by mass, infrared, and nmr spectra as well as gas chromatographic data.

Corrosion is a complex series of oxidation/reduction reactions between at the water-metal surfaces and materials in which the water is stored or transported. With respect to the corrosion potential of drinking water, the primary concerns include the potential presence of toxic metals, such as lead and copper; deterioration and damage to the household plumbing, and aesthetic problems such as stained laundry, and bitter taste. This study was performed to evaluate the effects of corrosion inhibitors on corrosion rates, Fe and Cu release concentration in water distribution pipes. Decrease of corrosion rates were strongly related to phosphate corrosion inhibitors. Considering that typical corrosion processes consists of a series of electrochemical reaction at the metal surface in contact with water, corrosion rates were positively correlated with Fe release.

A process has been studied to recover gallium from steelmaking dust which had several hundreds ppm of gallium. Aqueous solution containing 38 mg/l gallium was obtained by leaching of dust with 2.25 mol/l sulfuric acid. The leach liquor contained iron and zinc about 1,000 times greater than gallium. Gallium was then concentrated by ion exchanger of chelating resin with functional group of amino carboxylic acid after reduction of ferric ion to ferrous ion and pH adjustment. Gallium was concentrated to be 13 g/l in the resulting eluate by double ion exchanges. The liquor was further treated to remove impurities by solvent extraction technique empolying TOMAC as extractant. The galluim with 99% purity was finally obtainable.

The regeneration of the iron powders in the treatment of $FeCl_3$ etching solution containing nickel by ball-mill and ultrasonic treatments has been studied. When the unreacted iron powders were treated twice, the removal efficiency of nickel was 94.0% for the ball-mill treatment and 82.1% for the ultrasonic treatment. But the removal efficiency of nickel was 40.0% for the untreated iron powders. As the treatment time was increased, the particle size of iron powders was decreased for ball-mill treatment and almost not changed for ultrasonic treatment.

Due to rapid consumption of hydrogen peroxide, large amount of hydrogen peroxide is required when Fenton reaction is applied to the contaminated soil. In this study, acetate was employed as a ligand of $Fe^{2+}$ to enhance the efficiency of removal of phenanthrene by securing the stability of hydrogen peroxide. 0.5 ${\sim}$ 3 times of acetate (2${\sim}$12mM) was added to compare with molar concentration of $Fe^{2+}$. Low initial concentration of hydrogen peroxide was 0.7% to eliminate side effect of removal efficiency. The results showed that hydrogen peroxide lifetime was lasted up to 72 hours, or more than 50 times of normal lifetime. Phenanthrene removal efficiency was improved up to 70% due to stabilized hydrogen peroxide. Ferrous ion was oxidized to ferric ion and oxidation-reduction was repeated during the reaction. Finally ferric ion was reduced to ferrous by $HO_2$. It was confirmed that, due to the influence of hydrogen peroxide, pH was acid region and it remained at the range of 4 ${\sim}$ 5 when 8 mM or more of acetate was added. Acetate which was used as the ligand of Fe was also decomposed by Fenton reaction. The decomposition time of acetate was slower than phenanthrene. Therefore, it was able to come to the conclusion that phenanthrene was superior to acetate at the competition for decomposition. Through the results of this study, it was able to identify the possibilities to improve the efficiency of Fenton reaction in the contaminated soil and its economic feasibility, and to move to more realistic technique through research expanded to neutral pH region.

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a representative dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) and has contaminated substance environments including soil and groundwater due to leakage and careless. DNPAL, has been treated by surfactant-enhanced aquifer remediation (SEAR). After application of SEAR, groundwater contains still surfactant as well as little amount of residual TCE. Permeable reactive barrier using zero-valent iron (ZW) is a very effective technology to treat the residual TCE in groundwater. In this study, the effect of the residual surfactant on the reductive dechlorination of residual TCE was investigated using ZVI. Mixed surfactant composed of nonioinic surfactant and cationic surfactant was used as a residual surfactant because of toxicity and enhancement of dechlorination rate. Structure of surfactant affected significantly the decrhlorination rate of TCE. Mixed surfactant system with relatively short polyethylene oxide (PEO) chain in nonionic surfactant, cationic surfactant did not affect TCE dechlorination rate. However, mixed surfactant system with relatively long PEO chain in nonionic surfactant shows that TCE dechlorination rate was significantly dependent on fraction of cationic surfactant and HLB of nonionic surfactant. Cationic surfactant with trimethyl ammonium group enhanced reductive dechlorination rate compared to that surfactant with pyridinium group.

야외 조건에서 생장한 한국산 들잔디(Zoysia japonica Steud)의 잎, 줄기, 뿌리, 지하경의 관부와 절간에 있어서 질산환원효소 활성도(NRA)와 전분분해효소의 활성도(AA)를 측정하였다. 각 기관에서의 효소 활성도는 4월 중순부터 증가하여 6월의 개화기때 최대값에 도달하였다. 그후 효소 활성도는 급격히 감소하여 겨울철에는 최소에 이르렀다. 이 결과는 잔디의 각 기관에서 NR과 Amylase는 계절적 활성변이를 가진다는 것을 제안한다. NR과 Amylase가 낮은 활성도를 가지는 1986년 7월 31일에 6cm의 높이에서 잔디의 지상부를 예초(cuting)한 결과, 모든 기관에서의 AA와 잎, 줄기에서의 NRA는 2일간의 지연기 후에 급격히 증가하여 7일째에 최대에 이르렀다. 이 값은 대조구의 효소 활성도 보다 약 3배 높았고, 계절적 변이에서의 최대 활성도의 약 90%에 도달하였다. 예초된 잎에서의 조단백질(CP)의 함량은 예초후 7일째 까지 증가하였으나, 건물생산량(DM)과 총가용성 탄수화물(TSC) 함량은 예초후 4,5일 동안 감소하다가 다시 증가하여 7일째에 예초전의 수준에 도달한 후 일정한 값을 유지하였다. 또한 각 기관에서의 NRA와 AA는 예초후 8일째에 정상 수준으로 급감하였다. 이 결과는 완전히 자란 잔디 자체는 NR과 Amylase의 활성에 대한 억제제로서 작용하며, cutting과 같은 외부 성처요인이 개체 수준에서 적용되었을때 손상된 물질을 회복하기 위하여 분자 수준에서 수준에서 효소가 활성화 된다는 것을 제안한다.

The content of petroleum ether extracts and ash was lower in hand suckered, maleic hydrazide and fatty alcohol plot, but the trends of reducing sugar, nicotine, and pH were in reverse. Reducing sugar was higher, nicotine and pH was lower in maleic hydrazide plot than in hand suckered or fatty alcohol plot. Filling value and combustibility was lower in maleic hydrazide plot than in hand suckered.

Nitrogen in the form of nitrate was electrochemically reduced with different cathode materials including Fe, Ni, Cu, and Zn. Zn cathode shows the greatest electrocatalytic activity on the transformation of nitrate ions into ammonia and the $NO_3^-$ removal efficiency has highest value at pH 8.5. Nitrogen in the form of nitrate was initially reduced into nitrite and sequentially, converted into nitrogen inside $NH_3$. Nitrogen in the form of ammonia was completely removed by the reaction with HOCl.
