The relationships between the cover of herbaceous species and 15 soil chemical properties (organic carbon contents, total N, available P, exchangeable K, Na, Ca and Mg, HCl-extractable Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) in nine poorly controlled waste landfill sites in Korea were examined by correlation analysis and multiple regression equations. Species showed different patterns of correlation between their cover values and soil chemical properties. The cover of Ambrosia artemisiifolia var. elatior, Aster subulatus var. sandwicensis and Erechtites hieracifolia were negatively correlated with the contents of Fe, Mn and Ni within landfill soils. Total cover of all species in quadrats was positively correlated with the contents of Cd and negatively correlated with the contents of Mn and Fe from stepwise regression analysis with 15 soil properties. Canonical correspondence analysis demonstrated that the distribution of native and exotic plants on poorly controlled landfills was significantly influenced by the contents of Na and Ca in soils, respectively.

HTPB/AP/Al이 주성분인 2종의 혼합형 추진제를 대상으로 4종의 금속선(Ag, Cu, Al, Ni-Cr)윰 각각 삽입하여 금속선의 직경(0.1~0.8mm)과 연소 압력에 따른 금속선에 인접한 고체 추진제의 연소 속도 증가비($r_w$/$r_sb$)와 압력 지수(n)의 변화를 고찰하였다. 금속선을 추진제에 삽입함으로써 추진제의 $r_w$/$r_sb$ 는 크게 중가하였고, 1000 psia의 압력에서의 최대 6.59배 증가하였다. 그러나 녹는 점이 비교적 낮은 Al 선이나 Ag선은 금속선 직경이 작아짐에 따라 한계 직경에서 $r_w$가 급격히 감소하는 최대값이 존재하였다. 자연 발화 온도와 금속선으로 전달되는 열원인 연소 기체 불꽃 온도로 구성된 무차원군을 Buckingham pi 정리에 의해 구해진 $r_w$/$r_sb$ 에 대한 기존의 무차원 실험식에 추가로 적용하여 계산해 본 결과, 자연 발화 온도는 고려하지 않고 금속선의 녹는 점과 연소 기체의 불꽃 온도를 무시한 Hsing 의 실험식에 의해 계산된 결과보다 표준 편차가 45%이상 줄어듬을 알 수 있었다.

According to our secondary school curriculum for natural science and technical circles, there be used 353 of chemical reagents including 24 kinds of harmful and toxicant components. At present, most school are discharging their school laboratory waste water without any chemical and physical treatments. So as to solve the environmental problem for water pollution, this study tried to research a kind of adsorbant utilizing saw dust, wasted wood sources and designed the simple processing system using the adsorbent. This adsorbent was made by extracting lignin substances from raw saw dust under the solution of 0.5N-NaOH at the temperature of $100^{\circ}C$. Their metal removed rates was measured not only by processing of column and vessel. but also by comparing the standard solution and real waste water. The results were proved as more than 90(%) of the adsorptive efficiency on the average from Pb, Cd, Cu except Cr(VI)in case of the school experimental waste water soaked in vessels a long with 4g of the adsorbent for 24 hours. The new processing system enables to remove most harmful and toxicant metals by filtering, sedimenting and adsorbing at the low cost.

Environmental quality regulations are used to establish the maximum permissible concentrations of heavy metals before a site can be deemed to be polluted or contaminated. This paper compares the results obtained by 0.IN HCl extraction and acid extraction method(HNO$_3$+HClO$_4$.HCl). The leaching efficiency of 0.1N HCl extraction is directly proportional to the final pH of leachate, due to the different solubilities of the heavy metals at different pH values, The severe differences between 0.1N HCl-extractable and total metal contents result mainly from the buffering effect of carbonates, present in sediment. samples. Application of sequential extraction experiments to some sediments collected from gully pot in Seoul illustrates a much stronger scavenging effect by Fe and Mn-hydroxides, carbonates and organic phases. As deduced from both sequential extraction and leaching experiments, the relative mobility of heavy metals is found to be: Mn>Zn>>Co>Cd>>Cu>Pb>Cr>Fe, in spite of large differences in heavy metal content and localization. Changes in the physicochemical environments (such as acidification) caused by a traffic accident may result in the severe environmental pollution of heavy metals of surrounding area( surface water and rivers).

To investigate the effects of paper sludge, by-products of paper manufactory, on the chemical properties of paddy soil and growth of paddy rice, paper sludges were applied to the pots at the rates of 300, 600, 900 and 1,200㎏/l0a which were either pread-justed C/N ratio to 30 : 1 or not adjusted. The effects were compared with those of control. Seasonal variations of various forms of soil organic nitrogen, the mineralization of organic nitrogen and the contents of soil minerals were analyzed. The results were summarized as follows: 1) The contents of soil organic nitrogen, especially amino sugar-N and amino acid-N, organic matter, CEC and available $SiO_2$ were increased by application of paper sludge compared with that of control. 2) The mineralizations of organic nitrogen after 6 weeks of incubation at $30^{\circ}C$ were 12. 2, 12.6, 15.1, 9.7 and $15.2^{\circ}C$ in the control, 300㎏/l0a sludge treatment, 300㎏/l0a sludge treatment(C/N ratio adjusted), 600㎏/l0a sludge treatment and 600㎏/l0a sludge treatment(C/N ratio adjusted), respectively. 3) Cu and Pb contents in the soil were in the range of $0{\sim}0.2100$ and $0{\sim}0.0013$ ppm, respectively. Cr and Cu in the soil were not detected at all. There were no differences in the contents of all the heavy metals among all the treatments in the soil.

Waste newspapers was used as an amendment to adjust the moisture of household food wastes for composting. The mixture of household food wastes and waste newspapers was composted in an especially designed small home composter, where the early fed composting materials were discharged early. The temperature inside composting materials was influenced very much by that of outside, because the composter was not insulated. Accordingly, the higher the outside temperature was, the higher the decomposition rate was. The temperature inside composting materials did not reach to optimum, because the amount of composting materials added in the composter everyday was too little, and it caused too high water content of discharged compost after 15 weeks. Therefore, it was required that the composter must be insulated to maintain the higher temperature. The inorganic compounds$(K_2O,\;CaO,\;MgO,\;P_2O_5)$ and heavy metals(Zn, Cu, Cr, Cd, Hg, As) were accumulated obviously in produced compost, when dry recycled compost was reused as the amendment for adjusting the moisture.

Mass reduction and physicochemical properties of the produced compost were investigated during composting domestic food wastes without additive. A small composter used in this study had the height of 15 cm from the center of bottom half circle (diameter 24 cm) up to under the lid, the side length of 50 cm and the horizontal lid angle of $50^{\circ}$ and was operated at the heating unit temperature of $85^{\circ}$. It was mixed by the rotating arm for two minutes in every half hour while supplied with air flow at 3 L/min for 10 minutes in every half hour. This condition was found in a preliminary experiment as optimal for keeping the water content of composting material in the optimal range without adding any bulking materials. The domestic food wastes were added into the composter at the rate of 1 kg/day without additives during composting. The results were as follows; during the composting process, water content maintained in the range of $51.0{\sim}53.5%$. Hemicellulose and lignin contents did not show any tendency, but cellulose content decreased. During the composting process, $NH_3-N$ and $NO_2-N$ were not detected due to nitrification. The contents of inorganic compounds did not increase during the composting process. They were in the range of $1.32{\sim}1.71%\;P_2O_5$, $1.29{\sim}1.48%\;CaO$, $0.41{\sim}0.49%\;MgO$, and $0.38{\sim}0.74%\;K_2O$. For 20 days, weight reduction rate was 67.5% in wet basis, and decomposition rate was 48% in dry basis. Concentration of heavy metals (Cu, Cr, Cd, Pb, Zn, Hg, As) was less than the limiting value of the compost. Maturity of the produced compost was 3 grade through reaching maximum temperature of $46{\sim}48^{\circ}C$.

Agricultural recycling of livestock wastes by composting has lots of beneficial effects on crop production and soil fertility. Most of composts are made from pig manure and water content controller such as saw dust, bark, rice hulls etc. by aerobic processing. But the insufficient supply of saw dust, bark etc. cause the indiscreet use of industrial waste having heavy metals and toxic synthetic chemicals. This research investigated the present quality status of organic by-product fertilizers, and suggested the way of quality interpretation under the statistical approaches based on median, mean and weighted average value. Since the data of one hundred of samples for heavy metal contents (Cd, Pb, Cu, and Cr) and OM/N showed extremely left-skewed distribution, the median was more useful than the mean in representing the characteristics of distribiition for each items. The weighted average value will be a useful index for the quality based on the total amount of producing.

The elution behaviors in reversed-phase liquid chromatography were investigated thermodynamically for 2-hydroxy-arylazopyrazolone chelates with Ni(II), Cu(II), Co(III), Cr(III) on Novapak $C_{18}$ column. There was a good linear dependence of the capacity factor(k') on the variations of column temperature in van't Hoff plot. From this result, it was confirmed that the retention mechanism of these chelates in the reversed phase liquid chromatography system was invariant under the condition of various temperatures. For the most cases of the chelates studied, the dependence of capacity factor(1n k') on enthalpy$(-{\Delta}H)^{\circ}$, calculated by van't Hoff plot showed a good linearity(r=0.980~0.999) except [Pm(2-OH_(5-Cl)PaPz](r=0.787) and also the compensation temperatures(${\beta}$) showed constant values. The range of compensation temperature values calculated from the slope of $-{\Delta}H^{\circ}$ vs 1n k' plots was 374.3~806.9K. It was suggested that the retention of metal-2-hydroxy-arylazopyrazolone chelates in the reversed phase liquid chromatography system was largely affected by the hydrophobic effect.
