석탄회의 시용은 토양의 pH를 증가시키는 경향을 보였으며, 무연탄회 보다는 유연탄회에서 그 효과가 더 현저하였다. 석탄회 시용에 의한 토양 pH 교정효과는 토양중 유효인산의 함량을 증대시켰으나 공시토양의 높은 pH와 고온, 건조한 환경으로 인하여 석탄회의 시용량이 증가하여 토양 중의 인산함량이 높을수록 식물체에 함유된 인산의 함량이 오히려 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 토마토의 수량은 식물체내의 인산함량이 높은 처리구에서 많아 식물체 중의 인산 함량의 증가가 식물의 수량을 증가시키는 요인이 된 것으로 생각된다. 수확기별로 보면 모든 처리구에서 제 2과방의 주된 수확시기인 7월 21일에서 7월 30일 사이에 주당 수확된 과실의 수가 많았고, 과실의 개별 무게가 무거워 수량이 가장 많았다. 결론적으로 석탄회의 시용은 토양의 물리화학성을 개량시키는데 기여하는 것으로 생각된다.

The advantage of CFBC(Circulating fluidized bed combustor) is that it can apply to various fuel sources including the lower rank fuel and remove SOx by means of direct supply of limestone to the combustor without additional desulfation facility. In this paper, we denote characteristics of fly and bed ash to reuse finer limestone usually abandoned(used spec[Coarse LS] 0.1mm under 25%, new spec[Fine LS] 0.1mm under 50%). According to the results, the chemical composition of fly ash was as follows; SiO2 40.8%, Al2O3 31.9%, CaO 10.7%, K2O 4.46% in the case of coarse limestone and SiO2 41.1%, Al2O3 31.3%, CaO 10.9%, K2O 4.66% in the case of fine limestone. The chemical composition of bed ash was as follows; SiO2 54.2%, Al2O3 33.1%, CaO 1.56%, K20 4.34% in the case of coarse limestone and SiO2 53.8%, Al2O3 32.6%, CaO 2.21%, K2O 4.45% in the case of fine limestone. It showed that there was no significant change in chemical composition. And it is conformed that there was no significant change in particle size and shapes.

The adsorption behaviors of strontium and cesium ions on fly ash, natural zeolites, and zeolites synthesized from fly ash were investigated. The zeolites synthesized from fly ash had greater adsorption capabilities for strontium and cesium ions than the original fly ash and natural zeolites. The maximum adsorption capacity of synthetic zeolite for strontium and cesium ions was 100 and 154 mg/g, respectively. It was found that the Freundlich isotherm model could fit the adsorption isotherm. The distribution coefficients (Kd) for strontium and cesium ions were also calculated from the adsorption isotherm data. The distribution coefficients decreased with increasing equilibrium concentration of strontium and cesium ions in solution. By studying the removal of cesium and strontium ions in the presence of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, sulfate, nitrate, nitrite, and EDTA (in the range of 0.01 - 5 mM) it was found that these coexistence ions competed for the same adsorption sites with strontium and cesium ions.
