The photochemical transformation of carbon monoxide in aqueous ammonia solution has been investigated at 25${\pm}$0.1$^{\circ}C$ using 184.9 nm UV light. Amination and carbonylation processes were carried out by irradiating the aqueous ammonia solution saturated with carbon monoxide, and the formation of formamide, urea, hexamethylenetetramine, formaldehyde, glyoxal and hydrazine was observed. The formation of hydrazine was affected by the presence of ammonia, and the formation of carbonyl compounds such as formaldehyde and glyoxal was influenced by the presence of carbon monoxide. The formation of formamide, urea and hexamethylenetetramine was affected by both ammonia and carbon monoxide. The initial quantum yields of the products were determined and probable mechanisms for the photochemical reaction were presented on the basis of product analysis.

In an attempt to define the early biochemical determinants that participate in the pathogenesis of glycerol-induced nephrotoxicity, especially focusing on oxygen free radicals, we studied malondialdehyde (MDA) level and the activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase in the renal cortex of rats, and the concentrations of blood urea nitrogen(BUH) and serum creatinine of rats at 24hr after the injection of a 50% solution of glycerol. Sprague-Dawley albino rats weighing 240 to 260 mg were injected intramuscularly with a 50% solution of glycerol(2 mι/kg, 4 mι/kg and 8 mι/kg). The group treated with glycerol showed significantlv higher MDA level and catalase activity, lower SOD activity and higher BUN and serum creatinine concentrations at 24 hr after the injection as compared to those of control group. These results suggest that the excessive oxygen free radicals resulting from the depression of SOD activity is an important determinant in the pathogenesis of glycerol-induced nephrotoxicity.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of SCR reactor on the exhaust emissions characteristics in order to develop a urea-SCR aftertreatment system for reducing $NO_x$ emissions. The experiments are conducted by using a flue tube LPG steam boiler with the urea-SCR aftertreatment system. The urea-SCR aftertreatment system utilizes the ammonia converted from 17% aqueous urea solution injected in front of SCR catalyst as a reducing agent for reducing $NO_x$ emissions. The equivalence ratio, urea injection amount, ammonia slip and $NO_x$ conversion efficiency relative to boiler load are applied to discuss the experimental results. In this experiment, the average equivalence ratio is calculated by changing only the fuel consumption rate while the intake air amount is constantly fixed at $25,957.11cm^3/sec$. The average equivalence ratios are 1.38, 1.11, 0.81 and 0.57 when boiler loads are 100, 80, 60 and 40%. The $NO_x$ conversion efficiency is raised with increasing urea injection amount, and $NH_3$ slip is also boosted at the same time. Consequently, the $NO_x$ conversion efficiency relative to boiler load should be examined in combination with urea injection amount and $NH_3$ slip. The results are calculated by 89, 85, 77 and 79% for the boiler loads of 100, 80, 60 and 40%. The appropriate amount of urea injection for the respective boiler load can be not discussed by only $NO_x$ emissions, and should be determined by considering the $NO_x$ conversion efficiency, $NH_3$ slip and reactive activation temperature simultaneously. In this study, the urea amounts of 230, 235, 233 and 231 mg/min are injected at the boiler loads of 100, 80, 60 and 40%, and the final $NH_3$ slips are measured by 8.48, 5.58, 11.97 and 11.34 ppm at the same conditions. THC emission is affected by the SCR reactor under other experimental conditions except 100% engine load, and CO emission at only 40% engine load. The rest of exhaust emissions are not affected by the SCR reactor under all experimental conditions.

An experiment was conducted to obtain the quantitative data on the transformation and loss of applied urea-N in waterlogged soil columns. The soil columns were pre-incubated for 35 days to develop oxidized and reduced soil conditions prior to urea application. After urea application at the rate of $150kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$(29.5 mg N), the amounts of nitrogen which were volatilized, leached, and remained in soil column were measured during 38 days of incubation period. On 2 and 4 days of incubation, 54.1%(15.9 mg N) and 98.4%(29.0mg N) of the applied urea was hydrolyzed, respectively. Most of the applied urea was completely hydrolyzed within 6 days. After urea application, the rates of ammonia volatilization were increased with the floodwater pH when the floodwater pH were higher than 7.0. The maximum rate of ammonia volatilization was $0.3mg\;d^{-1}$ when pH of the floodwater showed maximum value of 7.6. The total amount of volatilized nitrogen was 6.1% (1.8mg N) of the applied urea-N. A 63.2 % (18.6mg N) of the applied urea was remained in soil as $NH_4{^+}-N$ and 28.0% (8.2mg N) of the applied urea was leached as $NH_4{^+}-N$ at the end of the incubation. Amount of $NO_3{^-}-N$ in soil was smaller than 2.0 mg throughout the incubation period. The total amount of $NO_3{^-}-N$ leached was very small, which value was 1.8 mg. It suggested that nitrification process was not significant in waterlogged soil column of this study due to high infiltration rate of urea solution applied to the soil column. Therefore only small amount of $NO_3{^-}-N$ was lost by denitrification and leaching process.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of slow-release nitrogen fertilizer (SRNF) on the growth of radish plants. Wastepaper was deinked by alkaline solution and SRNF was produced from fertilizer impregnated wastepaper, which applied to an experimental plot compared with a urea fertilized plot. The plant height and total chlorophyll content of the radishes were higher while they were treated with SRNF than with urea. Some agronomic and chemical components were also observed and significant differences between the two fertilizers were found. When the soil was treated with SRNF, the pH, organic matter and total nitrogen content were higher than in the soil which was treated with urea.

Hydrotalcite, layered double hydroxides (LDH), with hexagonal morphology has been rapidly synthesized by microwave reaction within 1 hour by urea hydrolysis from homogeneous solution. Different synthesis parameters, Mg/Al molar ratio, microwave reaction temperature and microwave power were systematically investigated. Pure hydrotalcite phase was obtained for Mg/Al ratios of 2:1 and 3:1, and higher reaction temperature gave higher crystallinity. The hydrotalcite synthesized at 600W power shows the highest crystallinity and more homogeneous crystal size distribution. The hydrotalcite samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), simultaneous thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Scanning electron micrograph (SEM).

Sodium hydroxide-urea 수용액을 이용한 다공성 셀룰로오스계 에어로겔은 용해, 겔화, 재생, 유기용매 치환과 동결건조과정에 의해 제조되었다. 에어로겔의 구조적 특성과 다공성은 주사전자현미경과 질소흡착장치를 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 용해펄프는 완전히 용해되었지만, 여과지와 홀로셀룰로오스는 원심분리과정에서 수용액에 용해된 부분과 용해되지 않은 부분으로 구분되었다. 용해펄프 에어로겔의 표면은 다공성 공극, 내부는 그물모양의 망목상 구조가 관찰되었다. 여과지와 홀로셀룰로오스 에어로겔은 표면이 압축된 다공성 네트워크 형태였고, 내부는 open-pore 구조의 나노피브릴 네트워크로 구성되었다. 홀로셀룰로오스 에어로겔에서 수용액에 용해되지 않는 형태의 섬유들이 관찰되었다. 용해펄프로부터 만들어진 에어로겔의 비표면적은 260~326 $m^2/g$ 범위였고, 농도 증가와 함께 감소하였다. 그러나 여과지 에어로겔의 비표면적(198~418 $m^2/g$)은 농도 증가와 함께 증가하였다. 홀로셀룰로오스 에어로겔은 2% 농도에서는 137 $m^2/g$로 농도의 증가와 함께 증가하여 4% 농도에서 401 $m^2/g$로 최댓값을 보여주었고, 5% 농도에서 감소하였다.

질소산화물($NO_x$) 저감을 위한 선택적 무촉매 환원(SNCR; selective non-catalytic reduction) 공정의 성능은 유속, 반응온도 그리고 반응물간의 혼합과 같은 공정변수에 민감하다. 따라서 효율적인 SNCR 공정의 설계와 운전을 위하여 속도장, 온도장, 및 화학물질들의 농도 분포에 대한 이해가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 150 kW LPG 버너가 장착되고, 요소용액을 환원제로 사용하는 파일럿 규모 SNCR 공정에 대하여 액적모델과 결합된 2차원 난류반응흐름 전산유체역학(CFD; computational fluid dynamics) 모델을 개발하고, 이 모델은 실험결과를 통하여 검증된다. 난류반응 CFD 모델에서는 $NO_x$저감율과 $NH_3$-slip을 예측하기 위하여 7개 반응식으로 이루어진 요소용액과 $NO_x$와의 반응기작을 이용한다. 이러한 모델을 이용한 CFD 모사결과는 온도와 NSR(normalized stoichiometric ratio)에 따른 $NO_x$ 저감율에서 실험결과와 최대 20% 이내에서 차이를 보여주고 있으며, $NH_3$-slip에 대하여는 실험결과와 모사결과 사이에 유사한 경향성을 얻었다.

환원상태가 발달된 담수상태의 토양이나 습지생태계에서 ${NO_3}^-$는 환원상태의 진전을 지연시키는 완충역할을 할 수 있다. 논토양에서 ${NO_3}^-$가 Fe(III) 환원과 그에 따른 P의 가용화에 미치는 영향과 함께 질산화작용억제가 벼의 N, P 흡수 및 생육에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 담수 후 10 cm 깊이 토양의 산화환원전위 변화는 N 비료처리별로 현저하게 달리 나타났으며, 질산화작용이 억제된 요소+N-serve 처리에서는 -100 mV 이하로 낮아졌으나 $KNO_3$처리의 경우에는 0 mV 이상으로 유지되었다. 이러한 현상은 질소비료 처리별로 ${NO_3}^-$에 의한 redox buffer 작용 유무에 따라서 결정되는 것이다. N-serve 처리를 통하여 질산화작용을 억제시키면 ${NO_3}^-$에 의한 redox buffer 작용이 없어지므로 토양의 환원현상이 크게 촉진될 수 있는 것이다. 따라서 요소+N-serve 처리에서는 다른 처리에 비하여 Fe(III)의 환원과 함께 토양 용액의 ${PO_4}^{3-}$ 함량이 현저히 증가하였다. 질산화저해제와 함께 요소를 처리한 경우 토양 용액중의 N 및 P 함량과 함께 벼 유묘 지상부의 N과 P 함량이 가장 높았음에도 불구하고 그 생장은 가장 불량하였다. 이와 같이 요소+N-serve 처리에서 나타난 벼 유묘 생장 저해 현상은 과도한 Fe(II)의 용출과 그에 따른 벼 유묘의 Fe 과잉흡수에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 질소산화물 제거용 환원제로 사용하는 요소 수용액을 암모니아로 전환하는데 있어 SCR 상용촉매의 활용가능성을 확인하기위해 촉매조성에 따른 반응온도, 공간속도의 영향에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과 SCR 촉매로 널리 사용되는 $V_2O_5/TiO_2$ 촉매는 $TiO_2$ 및 $WO_3-V_2O_5/TiO_2$ 촉매에 비해 암모니아 생성이 우수함을 보였다. 활성금속을 담지하지 않은 $TiO_2$ 촉매는 $V_2O_5$ 혹은 $WO_3-V_2O_5$를 담지 한 촉매에 비해 공간속도에 따른 암모니아 전환에 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, 활성금속을 담지 한 촉매는 공간속도가 증가함에 따라 암모니아 생성 농도가 감소됨을 확인하였다.
