This study was carried out to investigate removal character of nitrogen and phosphorus with injection time of acetic acid on SBR, which is one of the biological treatment process. Wastewater used in experiment period was swine wastewater with character, relatively lower organic material concentration than nitrogen concentration. In the experiment with injection time of acetic acid, run 1 wasn't injected acetic acid during the anoxic period, and run 2 was injected intermittently acetic acid during the anoxic period of 15 hours. And run 3 was injected intermittently during the anoxic period of 3hours from end of wastewater filling. And filing time of the wastewater was 20hour from run 1 to run 3. In the study, the highest removal efficiency of organic and nitrogen were obtained by the operating condition of Run 2(the ratio of mixing/aeration time : 16.5/5.5, injection time of acetic acid : 15hours) and T-P was obtained by the operation condition of Run 3(the ratio of mixing/aeration time : 16.5/5.5, injection time of acetic acid : 3hours),and removal efficiency of $BOD_5$, $COD_{Mn}$, $COD_{Cr}$, T-N and T-P in the treated water was 96.1%, 87.7%, 90.6%, 86.6% and 84.5%, respectively.

This study were conducted to evaluate the N mineralization and nitrification rates and to estimate the losses of total carbon and nitrogen by runoff water in soils cooperated with organic composts and bio-char during corn cultivation. For the experiment, the soil texture used in this study was clay loam, and application rates of chemical fertilizer and bio-char were $230-107-190kg\;ha^{-1}$($N-P_2O_5-K_2O$) as recommended amount after soil test and 0.2% to soil weight. The soil samples were periodically taken at every 15 day intervals during the experimental periods. The treatments were consisted of cow compost, pig compost, swine digestate from aerobic digestion system, and their bio-char cooperation. For N mineralization and nitrification rates, it was shown that there were generally low in the soil cooperated with bio-char as compared to the only application plots of different organic composts except for 47 days after sowing. Also, they were observed to be highest in the application plot of swine digestate from aerobic digestion system. For loss of total carbon by run-off water, it was ranged from 1.5 to $3.0kg\;ha^{-1}$ in the different organic compost treatment plots. However, Loss of total carbon with bio-char could be reduced at $0.4kg\;ha^{-1}$ in PC treatment plot. Also, with application of bio-char, total nitrogen was estimated to be reduced at 4.2 (15.1%) and $3.8(11.8%)kg\;ha^{-1}$ in application plots of pig compost and swine aerobic digestate, respectively.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of bone waste on the conservation of nitrogen in aerobic composting process by inducing the struvite crystallization, which was known as a powerful method for conservation of nitrogen in composting reaction. Bone waste was dried at oven and crushed to less than 3 mm prior to use. It was found phosphorus content in bone waste was about 20.9% of the fixed solids from the leaching experiments using sulfuric acid. Addition of seed compost affected the progress of composting reaction substantially. In case seed compost was not used, the duration of initial low pH was greater than seed compost was added. This prolonged acidic pH may have a beneficial effect on the leaching of P from the bone waste and struvite crystallization. The struvite crystallization and resulting conservation of nitrogen by addition of bone waste was confirmed by both reduction in ammonia loss and increased ammonia content in compost. However the level of struvite crystallization observed with bone waste addition may be less than the cases water-soluble phosphate salts were used.

The objective of this study was investigated the effect of organic fertilizer(OF) application on the grain yield, protein content, and soil chemical properties in rice cultivation to evaluate the replacement ratio of OF based on basal fertilization of inorganic(nitrogen) fertilizer, In case of soil 1 with optimum range of organic matter for rice growth, the grain yield of rice in 70% and 100% treatments of OF were higher than the other treatments. In soil 2 with higher than the optimum range of soil organic matter, the grain yield of rice of NPK, 30%, 70%, 100%, and 300% treatments of OF showed no significant difference. When the protein criteria of rice quality was below 7%, the treatment of 30%, 70%, and 100% using OF in soil 1 were satisfied with protein criteria of rice. In case of soil 1, ammonium nitrogen content, electrical conductivity, and the organic matter in 30%, 70%, 100%, 300% treatments of OF showed similar tendency to NPK treatment. These results suggested that the substitution ratio of OF 70~100% could be appropriate to increase the yield and commercial quality for rice.

Physical property changes of printed circuit board (PCB) according to heat treatment conditions were investigated. The heat treatment was carried out in air and nitrogen atmosphere at temperature range from $200^{\circ}C$ to $325^{\circ}C$. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the PCB was pyrolyzed in two steps. The thickness of PCB expanded by 11~28% at about $300^{\circ}C$ in both air and nitrogen atmosphere as layer disintegration occurred. Mechanical strength of PCB decreased from 338.4 MPa to 20.3~40.2 MPa due to the delamination caused by the heat treatment. The heated printed circuit boards were crushed and sieved for analysis of density distribution and liberation degree of copper according to particle size. As a result of the density distribution measurement, non metallic particles and copper particles were concentrated into different size range, respectively. The liberation degree of copper was improved from 9.3% to 100% at size range of $1,400{\sim}2,000{\mu}m$ by heat treatment.

A more efficient use of nutrients can benefit both farmers and water quality. To propose an establishment scheme for official standards for liquid fertilizer from swine manure slurry, we evaluated previous and present data related to swine manure as well as analyzed 101 swine manure samples collected from 28 public livestock recycling centers throughout the nation. From these investigations, we found that the official standards for byproduct fertilizers set by the Rural Development Administration (RDA), especially for a liquid swine manure fertilizer, should be revised due to nutrient content requirements having to meet at least 0.3% content for the sum of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Otherwise, most of the swine manure cannot be utilized as a liquid fertilizer because the result of the 101 samples' analysis showed fewer than 28% of them met the minimum standard of ${\geq}0.3%$ content for the sum of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, while the contents of heavy metals as indicators of toxicity met the standard requirements. Therefore, it is suggested that official standards for byproduct fertilizers set by RDA should be revised as follows: no limit for nutrient contents and addition of chloride as homogeneity. Also, NaCl should be changed to Na because NaCl cannot be analyzed by instrument.

Objective of this study was to develop an organic fertilizer utilizing domestic livestock horn meal and to investigate the application effect of rice and eggplant. The possibility of utilization of livestock horn meal as an organic resource to replace imported expeller cake fertilizer was examined. In order to select domestic organic resources with high nitrogen content, 8 kinds of organic matter such as chicken manure, fish meal, soybean meal, sesame meal, perilla meal, blood meal, livestock horn meal, and beer sludge were analyzed and organic resources with high nitrogen content were selected. In addition, the conditions for the production of organic fertilizers that can be used in organic agriculture were established by mixing of the rice husk biochar and the rice bran as the supplements with the raw materials for mixing ratios. The content of total nitrogen (T-N) in the livestock horn meal was 12.0 %, which was the next low in 13.5 % blood meal. The content of total nitrogen was 5.9 ~ 7.9 % in fish meal and oil cakes. Total nitrogen content of non-antibiotic chicken manure for organic farming was 3 % and nitrogen content in beer sludge was 3.5 %. Organic fertilizer was produced by using biochar, rice bran as a main ingredient of non-antibiotic chicken manure, livestock horn meal and beer sludge. Compared to nitrogen content (4.0 to 4.2 %) of imported expeller cake fertilizer (ECF), the nitrogen content of organic fertilizer utilizing domestic livestock horn meal is as high as 7.5 %. The developed organic fertilizer is met as Zn 400 mg/kg, Cu 120 mg/kg the quality of organic agricultural materials such as or less. To investigate the effect of fertilizer application on the crops, prototypes of developed organic fertilizer were used for the experiment under selected conditions. As a result of application the developed organic livestock horn meal fertilizer (LHMF) for cultivation of the rice and eggplant, the application quantity of the developed organic LHMF 100 % was decreased by 40 % compared to that of the mixed expeller cake fertilizer (MECF). The application of LHMF, which refers to the application rate corresponding to the nitrogen fertilization recommended by the soil test, was reduced by 40% compared to the application rate of MECF, but the same results were obtained in crop growth and yield. The selection of a new high concentration nitrogen source utilizing domestic organic resources and the development of organic fertilizer is the starting point of the research for substitution of imported ECF using domestic local resources at the present time that the spread of eco-friendly agriculture is becoming increasingly important. If it is expanded in the future, it is expected to contribute to the stable production of eco-friendly agricultural products.

A study on the characteristics of ammonia desorption from aqueous solutions has been performed by air stripping as the first stage of ammonia recycling for the preparation of ammonium sulfate from it. For air stripping experiments, a stripping column made with acrylic tube of 40 mm diameter was employed and compressed air was injected into solutions through air sparger equipped at the bottom of stripping column. As a result of experiments, the stripping efficiency was increased with the aqueous pH and it was found that the appropriate pH for air stripping of ammonia was between pH 10 and 12. As far as the effect of air flow rate on ammonia stripping was concerned, ammonia stripping was not proportional to the air flow rate although it was affected by the air flow rate to some extent. Moreover, when more than 20 cm of water height was maintained, total ammonia desorbed from solution was not varied with the water height. Stripping temperature was also found to play an important role in ammonia desorption and about 90fo of initial ammonia was desorbed in 14 hours at pH 12.8 and at $60^{\circ}C$ Finally, it was believed that stripping temperature as well as the aqueous pH was one of the most important factors in air stripping of ammonia.
