Purpose: In-situ water quality monitoring based on ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) is a promising technique because ISEs can be used directly in the medium to be tested, have a compact size, and are inexpensive. However, signal drift can be a major concern with on-line management systems because continuous immersion of the ISEs in water causes electrode degradation, affecting the stability, repeatability, and selectivity over time. In this study, a computer-based nitrate monitoring system including automatic electrode rinsing and calibration was developed to measure the nitrate concentration in water samples in real-time. Methods: The capabilities of two different types of poly(vinyl chloride) membrane-based ISEs, an electrode with a liquid filling and a carbon paste-based solid state electrode, were used in the monitoring system and evaluated on their sensitivities, selectivities, and durabilities. A feasibility test for the continuous detection of nitrate ions in water using the developed system was conducted using water samples obtained from various water sources. Results: Both prepared ISEs were capable of detecting low concentrations of nitrate in solution, i.e., 0.7 mg/L $NO_3-N$. Furthermore, the electrodes have the same order of selectivity for nitrate: $NO_3{^-}{\gg}HCO_3{^-}$ > $Cl^-$ > $H_2PO_4{^-}$ > $SO{_4}^{2-}$, and maintain their sensitivity by > 40 mV/decade over a period of 90 days. Conclusions: The use of an automated ISE-based nitrate measurement system that includes automatic electrode rinsing and two-point normalization proved to be feasible in measuring $NO_3-N$ in water samples obtained from different water sources. A one-to-one relationship between the levels of $NO_3-N$ measured with the ISEs and standard analytical instruments was obtained.

In this study, it was attempted to remove nitrate and carbon in a single-stage reactor using acetate as substrate. Hybrid type upflow sludge baffled filter reactor was adopted using anaerobic sludge. Sludge bed in the bottom of reactor was intended to remove carbon and nitrate by denitrification and methanogenesis. And floating media in the upper part of reactor were intended to remove remaining carbon which was not removed due to the inhibition of nitrogen oxide on methane producing bacteria. The reactor removed over 96% of COD and most of nitrate with volumetric loading rate of $4.0kgCOD/m^3{\cdot}day$, hydraulic retention time of 24hr, 4,000mgCOD/L, and $266mgNO_3-N/L$. Nitrate in anaerobic sludge was converted to nitrogen gas(denitrification) or ammonia (ammonification) according to pH of influent, COD removal efficiency was easily affected by the change of volumetric loading rates and nitrate concentration. And when influent pH was about 4.7, most nitrate changed to ammonia while when influent pH was about 6.8~7.0, most nitrate denitrified independent of $COD/NO_3-N$ ratio. Most granules were gray and a few were black. In gray-colored granule, black inner side was covered with gray substance and SEM illustrated Methanoccoci type microorganisms which were compact spherical shape. Anaerobic filter removed residual COD effectively which was left in sludge bed due to the inhibition of nitrogen oxide.

토양과 수질시료 중에서 nitrite, nitrate 그리고 ammonia성 질소를 빠르고 연속적으로 정량할 수 있는 방법에 관하여 연구하였다. 실제시료를 측정하기전에 각 성분의 표준시료를 사용하여 FIA의 구조적 인자(주입 양, 반응코일 길이 그리고 흐름속도)를 결정하였다. Nitrite는 Griess reaction에 의해 sulfanilamide와 반응 후 N-(1-naphthylenediamine dihydrochloride)과 결합하여 azo 색소를 형성시킨 후 540 nm에서 측정하였고, nitrate는 hydrazine을 사용하여 nitride로 환원시킨 후 측정하였다. Ammonia는 Nessler법을 사용하여 440 nm에서 측정하였다. 최적 조건에서 $N(NO_2^-),\;N(NO_3^-)와\;N(NH_4^+)$의 검출한계(S/N=3)는 0.1 ㎍/ML, 0.4 ㎍/mL 그리고 0.3 ㎍/ML이었다. 실제시료를 비색법, ion chromatography 및 FIA로 측정하여 비교한 결과 상호 일치성이 80~125%로 나타내어 만족스러웠다. 시료의 주입횟수는 30회/시간 이상으로 조절할 수 있었다.

Utilization of organic waste as a renewable energy source is promising for sustainability and mitigation of climate change. Pyrolysis converts organic waste to gas, oil, and biochar by incomplete biomass combustion. Biochar is widely used as a soil conditioner and adsorbent. Biochar adsorbs/desorbs metals and ions depending on the soil environment and condition to act as a nutrient buffer in soils. Biochar is also regarded as a carbon storage by fixation of organic carbon. Phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) are strictly controlled in many wastewater treatment plants because it causes eutrophication in water bodies. P and N is removed by biological and chemical methods in wastewater treatment plants and transferred to sludge for disposal. On the other hand, P is an irreplaceable essential element for all living organisms and its resource (phosphate rock) is estimated about 100 years of economical mining. Therefore, P and N recovery from waste and wastewater is a critical issue for sustainable human society. For the purpose, intensive researches have been carried out to remove and recover P and N from waste and wastewater. Previous studies have shown that biochars can adsorb and desorbed phosphates implying that biochars could be a complementary fertilizer. However, most of the conventional biochar have limited capacity to adsorb phosphates and nitrate. Recent studies have focused on biochar impregnated with metal salts to improve phosphates and nitrate adsorption by synthesizing biochars with novel structures and surface properties. Metal salts and metal oxides have been used for the surface modification of biochars. If P removal is the only concern, P adsorption kinetics and capacity are the only important factors. If both of P and N removal and the application of recovery are concerned, however, P and N desorption characteristics and bioavailability are also critical factors to be considered. Most of the researches on impregnated biochars have focused on P removal efficiency and kinetics. In this study, coffee waste is thermally treated to produce biochar and it was impregnated with Mg/Al to enhance phosphates and nitrate adsorption/desorption and P bioavailability to increase its value as a fertilizer. Kinetics of phosphates and nitrate adsorption/desorption and bioavailability analysis were carried out to estimate its potential as a P and N removal adsorbent in wasewater and a fertilizer in soil.

Spatial and temporal characteristics of nitrate contamination and hydrogeochemical parameters were investigated for springs and surficial and bedrock groundwaters in northeastern part of Hongseong. Two field investigations were conducted at dry and wet seasons in 2011 for 120 sites including measurement of field parameters with chemical analyses of major dissolved constituents. Nitrate concentrations were at background levels in springs while 45% of bedrock groundwater and 49% of surficial groundwater exceeded the drinking water standard of nitrate (10 mg/L as $NO_3$-N). The difference in nitrate concentrations between surficial and bedrock groundwater was statistically insignificant. Cumulative frequency distribution of nitrate concentrations revealed two inflection points of 2 and 16 mg/L as $NO_3$-N. Correlation analysis of hydrogeochemical parameters showed that nitrate had higher correlations with Sr, Mg, Cl, Na, and Ca, in surficial groundwater in both dry and wet season. In contrast, nitrate had much weaker correlations with other hydrogeochemical parameters in bedrock groundwater compared to surficial groundwater and had significant correlations only in wet season. Temporally, nitrate and chloride concentrations decreased and dissolved oxygen (DO) increased from dry season to wet season, which indicates that increased recharge during the wet season affected groundwater quality. Aerobic conditions were predominant for both surficial and bedrock groundwater indicating low natural attenuation potential of nitrate in the aquifers of the study area.

멸치에 일정량의 식염, 아질산염, 질산염 및 아스코르브산을 첨가하여 숙성시키면서, NA생성에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. pH는 담금직 후 7.1에서 숙성 110일 후 5.5로 산성화되었다. TMAO 질소는 숙성 중 감소한 반면, TMA 및 DMA질소는 증가하였다. 아질산염 첨가구는 숙성 중 NDMA 함랑이 증가하였고, 아스코르브산 첨가구는 NDMA 생성이 억제되었다. 모델계 실험 결과, 멸치젓의 니트로소화 최적 pH는 3.8이었고, 아스코르브산은 NDMA생성을 크게 억제시킨 반면 thiocyanate는 촉진시켰다. 본 실험 결 과, 멸치젓 자체에는 NDMA가 거의 검출되지 않았으나, 질산염이나 아질산염의 함량이 많은 물질과 함께 섭취된다면 위내에서 NDMA가 생성될 가능성이 충분한 것으로 판단되었다.

The interaction between commercial $Si_3N_4$ powder and two types of additives (nitrate and oxide additives) during the sintering of $Si_3N_4$ was investigated. The nitrates solution or oxide particles were added as a sintering additives. The surface of mixed powder was observed with FT-IR, TG, and HREM. DTA was used to characterize the reactivity of the powders. The formation of crystalline phases and phase transformation were analyzed by XRD. The adsorption of the additives on the surface of silicon nitride was confirmed in the nitrate salts. It was shown that the adsorption occurred by interaction between the amorphous $SiO_2$ layer on the $Si_3N_4$ surface and metal cations $(Al^{3++\; and \;Y^{3+})$ and anions $(NO_3\;^-\; or\; OH^-)$, resulting in a higher degree of homogeneous distribution of additives.

오이 시설재배지에서 질소 시비량 절감에 대한 호밀 환원 효과와 수량과 토양용액 중 질산태질소와의 관계를 평가하였다. 시험 처리구는 토양검정시비구 (NPK), 호밀을 $42.3Mg\;ha^{-1}$ 환원하여 질소비료 199 kg N $ha^{-1}$의 0, 50, 75, 100%의 4 수준으로 시비하여 시설재배지에서 오이 수량과 토양용액의 질산태질소 농도를 조사하였다. NPK의 오이수량은 $68.8Mg\;ha^{-1}$이었고, 호밀의 투입은 토양검정 질소시비량의 25-50%를 절감할 수 있었다. 오이재배 기간 중 NPK 토양용액의 평균 $NO_3$-N 농도는 $32.4mg\;L^{-1}$ 이었고, 호밀처리구의 0, 50, 75, 100%에서는 각각 26.0, 30.1, 41.4, $58.5mg\;L^{-1}$으로 질소시비량이 증가함에 따라 높아졌다. 이때 시설재배 오이수량과 토양용액 중 평균 $NO_3$-N 농도와의 수식 ($Y=49.3+0.63X-0.0034X^2$, $R^2=0.778^{**}$)은 유의성을 나타내었다. 따라서 오이 재배 중 토양용액 분석으로 질소 웃거름 시비량 결정이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 그러나 오이수량과 토양용액 $NO_3$-N 농도와의 관계에 대한 추가적인 실증연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
