Struvite(MAP) 및 hydroxyapatite(HAP) 결정화로 질소 및 인을 제거하기 위한 최적조건을 평가하기 위한 실험을 실시하였으며, $Mg^{2+}$, $NH_4^+$, $PO_4^{3-}$ 및 $Ca^{2+}$용액을 이용하여 인공폐수를 조제하였으며 각 이온의 몰비 조건을 1:1:1에서 실험을 수행하였다. $Ca^{2+}$ 및 $PO_4^{3-}$를 이용한 HAP 결정화는 알칼리조건의 pH 범위에서는 pH에 큰영향을 받지 않고 HAP가 형성되었으며, MAP 및 HAP 동시 결정화를 위한 실험에서는 pH가 증가하면서 $NH_4^+$, $PO_4^{3-}$ 제거효율은 감소하며 $Ca^{2+}$ 및 $Mg^{2+}$는 모든 pH에서 99% 이상 제거되었다. 폐수중에 $Ca^{2+}$이 포함되어 있다면 pH 9.5에서 $Mg^{2+}:NH_4^+:PO_4^{3-}:Ca^{2+}$는 1.2:1.0:1.2:2.0의 몰비로 존재했을 때 MAP 및 HAP 생성 최적조건인 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 pH가 10이상이 되면 부반응으로 인해 각종 무정형 결정체가 생성되므로 MAP 생성을 위해서는 pH 9.5로 운영을 하는 것이 가장 바람직하다.

We studied the interaction of 3,3',3'',3'''-ethylenetetrakis-4-hydroxycoumarin (EHC) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) in acetate buffer and phosphate buffer with different pH values by UV-vis absorption spectrometry and fluorescence spectrometry respectively. It was found that the pH values of the buffer solutions had an effect on the interaction process. In acetate buffer of pH 4.70, the carbonyl groups in EHC bound to the amino groups in BSA by means of hydrogen bond and van der Waals force, which made the extent of peptide chain in BSA changed. By contrast, in phosphate buffer of pH 7.40, hydrophobic force played a major role in the interaction between EHC and BSA, while the hydrogen bond and van der Waals force were also involved in the interaction. The results of spectrometry indicated that BSA could enhance the fluorescence intensity of EHC by forming a 1:1 EHC-BSA fluorescent complex through static mechanism at pH 4.70 and 7.40 respectively. Furthermore, EHC bound on site 1 in BSA.

This study was carried out to clarify the change characteristics of stream water quality by land-use of forest from July to September, 2000 in three stands(Pinus densiflora, Castanea crenata (I), Castanea crenata (II) stand) of Jeongpyeong-ri, Jinju-si, Gyeongnam. The mean pH of rainfall results in acid rain of 5.3. The pH of stream water in three stands was high in order of Pinus densiflora (pH 6.59), Castanea crenata (II)(pH 6.53) and Castanea crenata (I) stand(pH 6.47). The electrical conductivity of stream water was high in order of Castanea crenata (I), Pinus densiflora and Castanea crenata (II) stand. Cations contents of three stands in stream water were high in order of $Ca^{2+}$, $Na^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $K^+$ and ${NH_4}^+$. But anions of stream water in Pinus densiflora stand and Castanea crenata (II) stand were high in order of ${SO_4}^{2-}$, $Cl^-$ and ${NO_3}^-$. In Castanea crenata (I) stand cations of stream water were high in order of ${NO_3}^-$, ${SO_4}^{2-}$ and $Cl^-$. The level of pH, ${NH_4}^+$, ${NO_3}^-$, $Cl^-$ and ${SO_4}^{2-}$ of stream water in Pinus densiflora stand and Castanea crenata (II) stand reached within the level of domestic use standard for drinking water But the level of ${NO_3}^-$ of stream water in Castanea crenata (I) stand was higher than that of domestic use standard. Therefore, non-point sources like forest watersheds which are fertilizer application lands should be taken to the appropriate mitigation measures.

Effects of the simulated acid rain on the growth response and the structural features were studied with the 3 month old seedlings of G. biloba and P. thunbergii treated with acid rain of pH 5.6, 4.0, 3.2, and 2.4. The diameter and area of tracheid cells in the transectioned stem of G. biloba decreased with acidity of simulated acid rain. The wall thickness of tracheid cells was the thinest at pH 2.4, but there was no different at other levels of pH. Increasing of the acidity, the height of tracheid cells were reduced steadily. The diameter and area of tracheid cells of the transectioned root reduced with decreasing pH of acid rain, but those at pH 3.2 were larger than those at control. The wall thickness and height of tracheid cells of root were gradually decreased with acidity of acid rain. The size variation of the fusiform cambial initials in the stem of G. biloba sections tangentially showed a shortening tendency with treatment of acid rain. The length of ray initials was the shortest at pH 2.4 and reduced with decreasing pH of acid rain. The diameter, area, wall thickness, and height of the tracheid cells in P. thunbergii stem and root decreased with decreasing pH of acid rain. The areas of the pith, cortex, and xylem in P. thunbergii treated with acid rain decreased, but the cortex and pith areas increased significantly after exposure to acid rain of pH 3.2 compared with control.

A study on dyeing-rate for single and mixture dyeing of silk with acid dyes was carried out. Single and mixture dyeings were performed with levelling and milling dyes at 7$0^{\circ}C$ and at pH 3, pH 4 and pH 5, respectively. The results of this study were summerized as follows : 1. C. I. Acid Orange 7. A) At pH 3, dyeing-rate was more fast in the single dyeing than in mixture dyeing at the beginning of dyeing process. B) At pH 4 and 5, dyeing-rates tend to get very similar in single and mixture dyeing. 2. C. I. Acid Blue 138 A) At all pH value, dyeing-rates were more fast in the mixture dyeing than single dyeing at the beginning of dyeing. B) As the time increased, the difference of dyeing-rate and adsorption amounts between single and mixture dyeing was not shown.

The results obtained were as follow. 1. When bovine sperm was washed at 4 times with SHP solution and incubated, the difference of light absorbance between sperm-washing and sperm-washed solution(${\Delta}$Ao-${\Delta}$At) was higher in 2nd sperm-washed solution than that in the other washed solutions. 2. When sperm was thrice washed with SHP solutions of pH 5.99, 6.38, 6.78, 7.10, 7.40, 7.69, 8.15, 8.45, and 8.83, ${\Delta}$Ao-${\Delta}$At was significantly increased at pH7.69 to 8.83, and ${\Delta}$Ao-${\Delta}$At in 1st sperm washed solution was significantly higher than that in 2nd and 3rd sperm washed solution. 3.

Effect of temperature and initial pH were studied on the pH change of MSG solution during heating. The heating temperature and initial pH of 2% MSG solution were in the range of $100{\sim}120^{\circ}C$ and $pH\;2{\sim}9$, respectively. The results showed that the pH of MSG solution was more rapidly decreased as the temperature increased and the initial pH decreased due to pyroglutamic acid formation from MSG thermal degradation. A linear relationship was obtained between pH decreased and logarithmic value of heating time and the decreasing rate constant of pH were calculated from the slope. The pH decreased$({\Delta}pH)$ after 3 hrs of heating was 1.2 at the initial pH 4 and $120^{\circ}C$ and 0.33 at pH 5 and $120^{\circ}C$ while little pH change measured at the range of $pH\;6{\sim}9$. Activation energy calculated for pH decrease during heating was 11.77 and 22.26 kcal/mole at pH 4 and pH 5, respectively.

A mixture of aluminum isopropoxide (Al(OC3H7i)3) solution and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution was hydrolyzed in the range between pH 1~14. the powder obtained from sol-gel process was calcined at several temperatures and crystallization behaviors of various samples were investigated. The hydrolyzed sols of pH 1~6 wre clear, or near clear. On the other hand, powder precipitated from sols of pH 7~14. The sample obtained from pH 3 solution crystallized via complicated route, and $\beta$-Al2O3 and $\beta$"-Al2O3 phases appeared at lower temperature than samples from other pH conditions. And the quantity of remained $\beta$"-Al2O3 phase after heat treatment at 150$0^{\circ}C$ was more than samples from other pH conditions. After sintering, ionic conductivities were 1.3$\times$10-4S.cm-1 to 0.76$\times$10-4S.cm-1.0-4S.cm-1.

In this work, we studied the degree of hydrolysis of ion exchanger in $NH_4OH$ solution and sorption characteristics of $NH_3$ by potentiometric titration curves with using carboxylic acid ion exchanger Fiban K-4. We knew that the theoretical pH values agreed with the experimental pH values on the $NH_4OH$ concentrations in various concentrations of supporting electrolyte $(NH_4)_2SO_4$. The sorption values of $NH_3$ using the ion exchanger can be calculated from equivalent sorption curves for various pH. Also, the degree of hydrolysis increased with decreasing concentration of supporting electrolyte and pH. In order to obtain the mono ion form below 0.01 M as the decreasing concentration of supporting electrolyte, the pH values should be increased. From these results, therefore, the concentrations of supporting electrolyte and pH values were determined.
