$AlPO_4$-type material was synthesized by a reaction of $Al(OH)_3$ and H3PO4 with organic templates from wastewater of detergent manufacturer. The surface of material was coated with carboxylate groups by the reaction of succinic anhydride with surface amino groups which were formed by treatment of the material with APTMS. Powder XRD patterns showed the characteristic patterns of $AlPO_4$. Morphology of the material was examined using a SEM and the functional groups were investigated by FT-IR analysis. The surface charge of a aqueous suspension was analyzed: $AlPO_4-NH_2$ has positively charged surface while $AlPO_4$-COOH has negatively charged one. They were used for the removal of toxic metals from aqueous solution. The lead ions were adsorbed on the surface by the formation of complexes with carboxylate of surface and $K_d$ was 91.1 mL/g. In conclusion, the $AlPO_4$-COOH might be applicable in the removal of toxic metal ions from aqueous system.

We developed a liquid-liquid extraction method using an inorganic salt to dramatically improve the recovery efficiency of the anticancer agent paclitaxel from plant cell cultures. As a result of liquid-liquid extraction using a diverse types of inorganic salt (NaCl, KCl, $K_2HPO_4$, $NaH_2PO_4$, $NaH_2PO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$), NaCl gave the highest yield (~96%) and lowest partition coefficient (0.053) of paclitaxel. The optimal NaCl/solvent ratio, methylene chloride/MeOH ratio, and pure paclitaxel content for liquid-liquid extraction using NaCl were 1% (w/v), 26% (v/v), and 0.066% (w/v), respectively. Under the optimal conditions developed in the present method, most of the paclitaxel (~96%) was recovered from biomass by a single extraction step. In addition, this method facilitated 3-fold higher recovery efficiency of paclitaxel in a shorter extraction number than the conventional liquid-liquid extraction method.

The polarizability tensor components for $NH_3,\;BH_3,\;HCN,\;C_2H_4,\;PO,\;PO^-$ and CO molecules are calculated by the variation method. The parallel components of the polarizability are closer to the experimental values than those of CNDO/2, MINDO/1 and MINDO/2, but the perpendicuar components of the polarizability are not closer to the experimental values than those of the other methods.

Orthophosphate crystals were grown by the hydrothermal method and the properties of grown crystals were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction. Vickers hardness tester, etc. The starting powders of $AIPO_4 and GaPO_4 $were prepared as a single phase by the solid state reaction of stoichiometric mixture of $AI_2O_3 or Ga_2O_3$ and $NH_4H_2PO_4$ and the subsequently by the hydrothermal treatment. The hydrothermal conditions for high growth rates of the orthophosphate crystals are as follows: $AlPO_4$ crystal; temperature ranges, between $170$~$200^{\circ}C$; temperatures difference, $15$~$20^{\circ}C;$, hydrothermal solvent, 4m HCl, $GaPO_4 crystal; temperature ranges, between $210 and 240^{\circ}C;$; temperature difference, $25$~$30^{\circ}C; $, hydrothermal solvent, 4m HCl. Morphologies of grown crystals tended to be bounded by (1010), (1011) and (0111) faces at low temperatures, and grew with well developed (0001) faces by increasing the growth temperature. On the other hand, the properties of orthophosphate crystals $(AlPO_4/GaPO_4)$ were as follows: lattice parameters (nm); a=0.494, c=1.094/a=0.490, c=1.105, density (gcm-3); 2.62/3.56, Vickers hardness (Nm^2); $1.02{\times}10^1^0/7.06{\times}10^9$, refractive indices; $ne=1.529{\pm}0.003, no=1.519{\pm}0.003/ne=1.611{\pm}0.006, no=1.599{\pm}0.006, birefringence; {\pm}0.01/{\pm}0.012$, dielectric constant (Fm-1); 6/7.

The development of bioenergy through biomass has gained importance due to the increasing rates of fossil fuel depletion. Biomass is important to increase the productivity of bioethanol, and production of biomass with high biomass productivity, low lignin content, and high cellulose content is also important in this regard. Inorganic salts are important in the cultivation of biomass crops for the production of biomass with desirable characteristics. In this study, the roles of various inorganic salts in biomass and bioethanol production were investigated using an in vitro tobacco culture system. The inorganic salts evaluated in this study showed dramatic effects on tobacco plant growth. For example, H₂PO₄ substantially improved plant growth and the root/shoot (R/S) ratio. The chemical compositions of tobacco plants grown in media after removal of various inorganic salts also showed significant differences; for example, lignin content was high after Mg²⁺ removal treatment and low after K⁺ treatment and H₂PO₄ removal treatment. On the other hand, NO₃^- and H₂PO₄ treatments yielded the highest cellulose content, while enzymatic hydrolysis yielded the highest glucose concentration ratio 24 h after NH₄⁺ removal treatment. The ethanol productivity after H₂PO₄ removal treatment was 3.95% (w/v) 24 h after fermentation and 3.75% (w/v) after 36 h. These results can be used as the basis for producing high-quality biomass for future bioethanol production.

KD₂PO₄ single crystals were grown from D₂O with reagent KH₂PO₄ and the crystal structure was determined by X-ray and neutron diffraction methods. The crystals are tetragonal at room temperature, I42d, with lattice parameters of a=7.4633(7), c=6.9785(5) Å and Z=4. Intensity data were collected on an Enraf-nonius CAD4 diffractometer with a graphite monochromated MoK/sub α/ radiation (λ=0.7107Å) and on the neutron four circle single crystal diffractometer with Ge(331) monochromated neutron beam (λ=0.997Å). The structure was refined by full-matrix least-square to final R and wR values of 0.030 and 0.072, respectively, for 204 observed reflections with I>2σ(I) by X-ray diffraction and to final R=0.041 and wR=0.096 for 144 observed relfecdtions by neutron diffraction. The O…O distance of 2.516(4)Å obtained by X-ray diffraction is the same as that of 2.515(4)Å by neutron diffraction. On the other hand, the O-D/H distance of 0.84(4)Å by X-ray diffraction is considerably shorter than 1.029(7) Åby neutron diffraction. Hydrogen and deuterium can be readily distinguished by neutrons. In this crystal 66% of H-positions were substituted by D and the rest 34% occupied by H. The phase transition temperature of DKDP obtained with deuteration levels is f193K. This value agrees fairly well with the result of DSC measurement. The nuclear density distribution by neutron diffraction provides an observation of the disordered state of D/H in KD₂PO₄ at room temperature.

The mechanism of charge flow has been probed by measuring the $^{1}H$ chemical shift on a proton-irradiated ${KH_2}{PO_4}$ (KDP) single crystal. The proton irradiation caused the increase in $^{1}H$ chemical shift. It can be interpreted as the electronic charge transfer from the proton to oxygen atom, accompanied with the proton displacement along the hydrogen bond. For the high resolution $^{1}H$ chemical shift measurement, CRAMPS (Combined Rotation And Multiple Pulses) technique is utilized.

Gibbs' adsorption isotherms are studied to assay the structural effects of ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) moieties on the molecular area and the interfacial tension behavior of molecules at the interface. Several industrial alcohols and isomerically pure alcohols, which have a general stucture of C4H9O(EO)m(PO)nH, are examined for their cosurfactant properties. They are high molecular weight alcohols and more surface active than the cosurfactants usually used. Results show that the number and the sequence of EO and PO units significantly affect the molecular areas and the interfacial tension (IFT) behavior of these molecules at the water/oil interface. The following conclusions are drawn from the result: 1) PO is more efficient in lowering the IFT and less effective in adsorption than EO. 2) For molecules having the same molecular weight but different structures, smaller molecules are more efficient in lowering the IFT. 3) When more EO, PO, or both units are added to the same hydrophobe, the molecule become bigger and more efficient in lowering the IFT.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different sources of Ca and P on urine and ileal digesta pH, and ammonia ($NH_{3}$), methane ($CH_{4}$), and odor emission. In experiment 1, eight pigs (commercial three-way cross; initial BW 67$\pm$3 kg) were arranged in a repeated 4$\times$4 Latin Square design. All pigs were equipped with a T-cannula in the distal ileum. Four corn-soybean meal based diets were formulated. Diet 1 was the control in which dicalcium phosphate (DCP) and limestone ($CaCO_{3}$) were used as the sources of inorganic P and Ca. In Diets 2 and 3, ${H_{3}}{PO_{4}}$, monocalcium phosphate (MCP), and $CaSO_{4}$replaced DCP and $CaCO_{3}$ as the inorganic sources of P and Ca. Diet 4 was similar to Diet 1 except that it was fortified with HCl to provide an acid load similar to that of diet 2. Urine and ileal digesta pH were determined in pigs fed each of these diets. In Exp. 1, urine pH decreased (p<0.05) in animals consuming diets containing ${H_{3}}{PO_{4}}$-$CaSO_{4}$ (5.85$\pm$0.38) and MCP-$CaSO_{4}$(5.73$\pm$0.30) compared with the DCP-$CaCO_{3}$ diet (6.89$\pm$0.24). In the pigs consuming ${H_{3}}{PO_{4}}$-$CaSO_{4}$, ileal digesta pH decreased compared with the control (5.52$\pm$0.28 vs. 6.66$\pm$0.17; p<0.05). Based on the results of Exp. 1, a total of four trials were performed in environmental chambers for determining how $NH_{3}$, $NH_{4}$, and odor were affected by the different dietary Ca and P sources (Exp. 2). In Exp. 2, pigs fed the ${H_{3}}{PO_{4}}$-$CaSO_{4}$ diet had decreased (30%) $NH_{3}$ emissions compared with the control (p<0.05). Also, a combination of MCP-$CaCO_{3}$-$CaCl_{12}$ decreased $NH_{3}$ emission by 15% (p<0.05). Emission of $CH_{4}$ was decreased only with the ${H_{3}}{PO_{4}}$-$CaSO_{4}$ diet with 14% (p<0.05). Odorant emission of phenolics and volatile fatty acids increased roughly three-fold with the DCP-$CaSO_{4}$ diet but was not affected by other test diets. In conclusion, acidogenic Ca and P sources in swine diets can decrease the urinary pH and reduce $NH_{3}$ and $CH_{4}$ emission from swine facilities.

This experiment was performed to develop a model for nutrition ion concentration and EC in regard to change in pH from 4.0 to 8.0 in nutrient solution. The pH changes according to the variation of $HPO_4{^{-2}}$ and $H_2PO_4{^-}$ in the nutrient solution while variation of EC increased from pH 4.0 to 5.0, stabilized from pH 5.0 to 7.0 and increased again from pH 7.0 to 8.0. For the variance of major elements in the nutrient solution, K, Ca, N and P increased while pH was higher, especially the variables for K and P were increased largely. On the other hand, variables of Mg and S were stable. Based on analysis of the ion balance model of nutrient solution, the cation increased than anion over rising the variation of pH while balance point of ion moved from a-side to d-side. In addition, the imbalance increased while it moved away from the EC centerline as variance of pH increased. It was larger than effect of EC variance to correction values of equivalence ratios of K and Ca about variation of $HPO_4{^{-2}}$ and $H_2PO_4{^-}$ while as variance of pH increased, K decreased but Ca increased. These showed the result that variance of pH about correction values of equivalence ratios of K and Ca gave a second-degree polynomial model rating of 0.97. Through this research, it was identified the pH variable model about variance among pH, ion and EC according to gradient of phosphate.
