Nitrogen fertilizers applied to agricultural lands for crop cultivation can be volatilized as ammonia. The released ammonia can catalyze the formation of ultrafine dust (particulate matter, PM2.5), classified as a short-lived climate change pollutant, in the atmosphere. Currently, one of the prominent methods for fertilizer application in agricultural lands is soil surface application, which comprises spraying the fertilizers onto the soil surface, followed by mixing the fertilizers with the soil. Owing to the low nitrogen absorption rate of crops, when nitrogen fertilizers are applied in this manner, they can be lost from land surfaces through volatilization. Therefore, investigating a new fertilization method to reduce ammonia emissions and increase the fertilizer utilization efficiency of crops is necessary. In this study, to develop a method for reducing ammonia emissions from nitrogen fertilizers applied to soil surfaces, deep fertilization was conducted using a newly developed deep fertilization device, and ammonia emissions from barley, garlic, and onion fields were examined. Conventional fertilization (surface application) and deep fertilization (soil depth of 25 cm) were conducted for analysis. The fertilization rate was 100% of the standard fertilization rate used for barley, and deep fertilization of N, P, and K fertilizers was implemented. Ammonia emissions were collected using a wind tunnel chamber, and quantified subsequently susing the indole-phenol blue method. Ammonia emissions released from the basal fertilizer application persisted for approximately 58 d, beginning from approximately 3 d after fertilization in conventional treatments; however, ammonia was not released from deep fertilization. Moreover, barley, garlic, and onion yields were higher in the deep fertilization treatment than in the conventional fertilization treatment. In conclusion, a new fertilization method was identified as an alternative to the current approach of spraying fertilizers on the soil surface. This new method, which involves injecting nitrogen fertilizers at a soil depth of 25 cm, has the potential to reduce ammonia emissions and increase the yields of barley, garlic, and onion.

For the reduction of ammonia ($NH_3$) volatilization from the cow manure composting process, a cow manure pile was covered with vinyl (white polyethylene) and the ammonia emissions were evaluated using the dynamic chamber system for 47 days. Nitrogen and phosphorus loss from cow manure pile by rainfall was also measured in this study. In the cow manure pile without covering, the amount of $NH_3$ emission was 0.78 N kg/Mg which accounted for 9.4% of total nitrogen contents in the cow manure. Eighty nine percent of the total $NH_3$ emission during experimental period from the cow manure pile without covering was emitted for the first 21 days. The vinyl covering of cow manure pile reduced 91% of $NH_3$ emission compared to the pile without covering. The amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus loss by rainfall from cow manure pile without covering were 1.27 N kg/Mg and 0.23 P kg/Mg for 47 days, respectively. Results from this study demonstrated that vinyl covering of cow manure pile could reduce $NH_3$ emission and loss of nitrogen and phosphorus by rainfall during composting.

음식쓰레기, 슬러지 등과 같이 C/N비가 낮은 폐기물을 호기성으로 퇴비화하는 경우 질소 성분이 많이 손실될 수 있으며, 이는 비료성분의 손실, 악취를 비롯한 환경오염 발생 등을 유발할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 퇴비화 공정에서 질소성 물질의 보존방법을 도출하기 위한 기초 연구로 음식쓰레기를 실험실 규모로 퇴비화하면서 일반적인 호기성 퇴비화 공정에서 일어나는 질소의 거동을 분석하였다. 음식쓰레기는 종이나 나무조각과 혼합하여 퇴비화하였으며, 질소성 물질의 거동을 평가하기 위해 퇴비시료에 포함된 암모니아, 산화성 질소, 유기성 질소를 측정하였다. 배가스로 손실되는 질소도 황산으로 흡수시켜 정량하였다. 퇴비화 반응의 활성화 여부가 유기성 질소의 무기화에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 활성이 좋은 퇴비를 식종한 경우 반응 초기부터 유기성 질소의 무기화가 활발히 진행되어 많은 양의 질소가 손실된 반면 초기의 낮은 pH 기간이 길어지면 유기성 질소의 분해가 지연되는 것으로 나타났다. 암모니아 손실량은 주입된 공기량의 영향이 큰 것으로 판단되며, 암모니아 손실이 증가하면 퇴비의 암모니아 함량이 크게 감소하였다. 질소에 대한 물질수지 분석을 통하여 초기 질소의 28~38%가 암모니아로 전환되었으며, 전환된 암모니아의 77~94%가 가스로 손실된 것으로 나타났다.

Budgets for water, nitrogen, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were determined in two 0.012 ha earthy-bottom ponds stocked with Israeli strain common carp at an initial stocking density of $20\;fish/m^3$. Total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) concentrations increased continuously but later decreased in pond A as a consequence of high nitrification. COD concentrations increased during the experimental period due to the accumulation of feed input. Nutrient budgets showed that feed represented $94-95\%$ of nitrogen input and about 99% of organic matter input. Fish harvest accounted for $40\%$ of nitrogen and organic matter input. Seepage and water exchange removed $15-17\%$ of nitrogen input but only $1-2\%$ of organic matter. Draining of the ponds removed $20-26\%$ of input nitrogen, mostly in inorganic forms, but removed only minus organic matter. Fish and water column respiration accounted for $39\%$ of organic matter input, and benthic respiration accounted for $7-12\%$ of organic matter input. No significant change of nitrogen and organic matter in both pond bottoms were found during the three-month growth period. The unrecovered input nitrogen, about $6.3-13\%$, was lost through denitrification and ammonia volatilization. On a dry matter basis, fish growth removed $31\%$ of total feed input and left $69\%$ as metabolic wastes.

돈분 퇴비화 시 Alum 처리 수준이 증가함에 따라 전 퇴비화 과정에서 pH는 낮은 수준으로 유지되었지만, Alum-H 처리구는 퇴비화 초기 pH가 Alum-L와 대조구에 비해 현저히 낮았기 때문에 퇴비화 기간이 지연되었다. 퇴비화 35일 동안 누적 암모니아 휘산량은 Alum-L와 Alum-H 처리구에서 대조구에 비해 각각 31, 78% 감소되었다. Alum 처리는 돈분 퇴비 중 인산을 난용성 인산으로 전환시켜 수용성 인산의 함량을 현저히 감소 시켰다. 따라서 돈분의 퇴비화에 있어 Alum 첨가는 퇴비화 과정에서 질소 손실을 감소시키고, 농경지 활용시 인산 유출량을 저감 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Nitrogen applied to soil is highly prone to leaching and volatilization leading to gaseous emissions of nitrous oxide (N₂O) and ammonia (NH₃) which are of great environmental concern. Usage of biochar to reduce the discharge of nitrogen to the environment has attracted much interest in the recent past. Biochar is produced by pyrolyzing various biomasses under oxygen-limited conditions. Biochar is a carbonized material with high adsorptive powers for not only plant nutrients but also heavy metals. The objective of this study was to investigate the adsorption characteristics of NH₄-N onto biochar made from pine needles. The biochar was produced at various pyrolysis temperatures including 300, 400 and 500℃ and holding times of 30 and 120 minutes. The Langmuir isotherm was used to evaluate the adsorption test results. The chemical properties of the biochar varied with the pyrolysis conditions. In particular, the pH, EC and total carbon content increased with the increasing pyrolysis conditions. The rate of adsorption of NH₄-N by the biochar decreased with the increasing pyrolysis conditions. Of these conditions, biochar that was pyrolyzed at 300℃ for 30 minutes showed the highest adsorption rate of approximately 0.071 mg·g^-1. Thus, the use of biochar pyrolyzed at low temperatures with a short holding time can most efficiently reduce ammonia emissions from agricultural land.

Ammonia (NH₃) emitted from the use of fertilizers during agricultural practice generates particulate matter and odors. The application of carbonized rice husk, an eco-friendly material, is one of the measures used to reduce NH₃. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the application rate and pH of carbonized rice husk on NH₃ emissions and soil quality. An experiment to assess NH₃ emissions was performed in a glasshouse using a static chamber method. The pH of the carbonized rice husk was divided into acidic, neutral, and basic groups, and the carbonized rice husk application rates were 1, 3, and 5% of the soil weight. NH₃ emissions showed a sharp increase within three days after the inorganic fertilizer was applied. Subsequently, NH₃ emissions decreased rapidly after basal fertilization compared to primary and secondary top-dressing. When carbonized rice husks were applied to soil, NH₃ emissions decreased in all treatments, and neutral carbonized rice husk was the most effective in comparison with acidic and basic carbonized rice husk. The application rate of carbonized rice husk and NH₃ emissions showed a negative correlation, and the lowest emissions were found in units with a 5% application rate. Also, there was no statistically significant difference between NH₃ emissions according to the application rate of carbonized rice husk, and when carbonized rice husks were applied at a 5% rate, soil OM increased excessively. Therefore, it is recommended to apply only 1% neutral carbonized rice husk to most effectively reduce NH₃ emissions in the soil.

This study was conducted to estimate nitrogen discharge from Korea (southern part of Korean peninsula) as NPS(non-point source) by mass balance approach; input and output analyses of nitrogen using existing data available. The material flow was sectored into three different activities; agricultural (raising crop and animals), human and natural activities in forest and urban areas. Atmospheric deposition, biological nitrogen fixation, inorganic fertilizers and manures applied, animal feed and imported foodstuffs such as crops, meat and fish were the inputs in this study, while ammonia volatilization, denitrification, human and animal waste generation, crop and meat production, and discharge into river to ocean were the outputs. The estimated total nitrogen input was $1,194.5{\times}10^3$ tons N/year and the river discharge was 408 to $422{\times}10^3$ tons N/year, of which 66 to 71% was from NPS. In detail, the estimated NPS discharges were respectively $8,274\;kg\;N/km^2$/year from agricultural area, $730\;kg\;N/km^2$/year from forest and $7,657\;kg\;N/km^2$/year from the other land areas such as urban and industrial area.

본 연구는 돈분과 사과착즙박 혼합 혐기소화액의 호기성 처리 과정에서 황산(H₂SO₄)을 이용한 혐기소화액의 pH를 7.0과 6.5 조절 처리가 암모니아 휘발과 화학적 특성 변화에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 수행하였다. 혐기소화액은 0.3 ㎥ air/㎥·min 조건에서 60일 동안 폭기처리를 실시하였다. 무처리구의 혐기소화액은 호기성 액비화 과정 중 pH가 상승하고, EC와 T-N 함량이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 황산 무처리 혐기소화액은 pH가 높아 액비화 과정에 암모니아 농도가 172.6 mg/L로 높았으나 황산 처리 pH 조절 혐기소화액은 암모니아(NH₃) 발생이 유의적으로 감소되었다. 황산 무처리 혐기소화액은 액비화 과정 중 암모늄태 질소 함량이 47.2% 감소되었다. 혐기소화액의 pH 조절 처리구는 암모늄태 질소의 함량이 황산 처리 pH 조절 처리구에 비하여 높았다. 또한, 황산(H₂SO₄)처리는 혐기소화액에서 질소, 인산 함량의 증가에 영향을 주어 비료 성분이 높아지는 효과를 나타내었다. 따라서 혐기소화액의 황산 첨가에 의한 pH 조절은 호기성 액비화 공정에서 암모니아 휘산 저감과 질소 함량을 높이기 위한 유용한 방법으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
