An increased population and rapidly expanding industrial development have led to enormous amounts of various domestic and industrial wastes. The proper disposal of ever-increasing wastes is a growing global problem. Land treatment is one of the rational approaches that are environmentally safe and economically practical. It has long been practised in many sites. Recycling of industrial wastes on agricultural land can provide better possible means for maintaining environmental quality and utilizing waste-resources. Even though industrial wastes are beneficial as soil amendment and fertilizer, they have some limitation on land application because of wide variability as well as physicochemical problem in their composition. A direct application of solid and liquid wastes on land is being practised in Korea and some experimental results are presented. The direct application of fermentation waste on rice resulted in a 6 percent yield increase. Another organic residue from glutamic acid fermentation is widely used not only as a direct application as a liquid fertilizer but also for a raw material of organic compound fertilizer. These wastes are much promising as sources of plant nutrients, since they have large amounts of nutrients, especially nitrogen with few toxic metals. On the other hand, fertilizers developed from inorganic industrial wastes include calcium silicate, calcium sulfate and ammonium sulfate. The calcium silicate fertilizer simply produced from slag, by-product of iron and steel manufacturing plant is one of the most successful example of the conversion of wastes to fertilizer and slag production capacity totals to over three million MT/year. About 200,000 MT of calcium silicate fertilizer is currently applied in the paddy rice every year. Calcium sulfate, a waste from the wet phosphoric acid process is to some extent used as a filler of compound fertilizers but quite large quantites are directly applied for the reclamation of tidal flat.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of compound organic acid calcium (COAC) on growth performance, hepatic antioxidant status and intestinal barrier of male broilers under high ambient temperature (32.7℃). Methods: Nine hundred healthy one-d-old Cobb-500 male broiler chicks were randomly assigned into three groups with six replicates of 50 birds each. A basal diet supplemented with 0% (control), 0.4% and 0.8% COAC, respectively were fed to birds for 6 weeks. All treatments were under high ambient indoor temperature of 32.7℃, and had a constant calcium and available phosphorus ratio. Results: The results showed that, compared with control, the average daily gain of broilers in 0.4% and 0.8% was significantly increased and the ratio of feed to gain in in 0.4% and 0.8% was significantly decreased at 1 to 21, 22 to 42 and 1 to 42 days of age (p<0.05). Compared with control, 0.8% COAC slightly decreased (p = 0.093) the content of malondialdehyde in liver at 42 days of age while 0.4% COAC significantly decreased (p<0.05) the activity of alkaline phosphatase. Furthermore, 0.4% COAC significantly enhanced the intestinal barrier function via increasing jejunal and ileal ocln transcription, promoting jejunal mucin 2 transcription at 42 days of age (p<0.05), and decreasing jejunal toll-like receptor 2 (TLR-2) and ileal TLR-15, inducible nitric oxide synthase compared with control group (p<0.05). Whereas, no significant differences on the transcription of interleukin-1β in jejunum and ileum were observed among three treatments (p>0.05). Overall, heat stress caused by high natural environment temperature may induce the damage to hepatic antioxidation and intestinal barrier. Conclusion: Dietary inclusion of COAC can improve the tolerance of broilers to thermal environment through the modification of antioxidative parameters in liver and the mRNA expression of genes in intestinal barrier, resulting in an optimal inclusion level of 0.4%.

For recycling cement hydrate(CH) as waterproofers for mortar and concrete or a filler for rubber & plastics, the cement hydrates were treated with stearic acid(SA). And the bonding characteristics and the water repellency of the CH-SA compounds were investigated by using FT-IR, TGA, SEM, XRD, and contact angle measuring apparatus. Water tightness of the remitars used CH-SA compounds was also tested. The results are summarized as follows : 1) If the cement hydrates are treated with over 2.0% of stearic acid, the CH-SA compounds show very strong water repellency. 2) The stearic acids are solidified on the surfaces of cement hydrate in calcium stearate and aluminium stearate. 3) If CH-SA compounds which is cement hydrate treated with 5~10% of stearic acid are used 3%~6% in remitar, water absorption ratio and water permeatility ratio of remitar are decreased in below 30% of those of the ordinary remitar.

Introduction : Isothiazolinone product is one of new preservatives used in cooling tower, paper mill, and general industrial waters.l) It is also effective in controlling bacteria and fungi in the manufacture and storage of dispersed pigments, such as kaolin clays, titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate and others\ulcorner Its broad-spectrum activity, excellent physical and chemical compatibility with anionic, nonionic and cationic surfactants and most organic and inorganic compounds and low toxicity at recommended use levels provide formulators with an effective, economical, and environmentally acceptable alternative to other commercial biocides. It dose not contain or generate formaldehyde and is easy to formulate (1.5% solution is supplied as an aqueous solution), so that it gains advantage over the other preservatives. The active ingredients of the isothiazolinone product are unchlorinated compound (2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one) and chlorinated one (5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one). Methods preferred for the analysis of preservatives are chromatographic methods, especially high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC). Although several methods were satisfactory in respect to separation, no offical method has been published for the isothiazolinone components. This study was performed to search for an alternative method in order to show flexible operating conditions of HPLC and to reduce assay time.
