The $(NH_4)_2\;SO_4$ (70%) treated crude enzymes from the culture filtrates of the$C-7^{+t}$ strain of Pyricularia oryzae which was grown on 2% CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose) for 8 days at $28^{\circ}C$ were chromatographied on Sephadex G-150 and DEAE-Sephadex A-25 columns. From the chromatography, three fractions of CMCase$(C_x)$ was examined using Na-CMC as substrate. The $C_x$ enzyme activity was optimal at pH 6.0 and $40^{\circ}C$, stable up to $40^{\circ}C$. The values of Km and Vmax of the enzyme were $2.8{\times}10\;mM$ and 5.9m moles/hour, respectively. The molecular weight determined by Sephadex G-150 column chromatography was around 80,000. Approximately sevenfold purified $C_x$ enzyme gave a single protein band on the polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

The containment retardation capacities of four different aquifers were evaluated in a preliminary study for development of bank filtration in the Young San river area. $NO_3-N$, $NO_2-N$, $NH_4^+-N$, Fe, Mn, phenol, and chloride were selected as the target contaminants and a nonreactive tracer, respectively. Batch isotherm tests were conducted to measure the partition coefficients of the target contaminants. The mass transport parameters of nonreactive tracer were estimated from column tests. From the results of bath isotherm tests, it was shown that lower stream aquifer materials have greater partition coefficients of $NO_3-N$, $NH_4^+-N$, Mn, and phenol than the upper stream aquifer materials; however, there was no significant position-dependent trend for Fe. All aquifer materials tested have the same range of partition coefficients for $NO_2-N$. Column tests showed that the molecular diffusion of Cl- was much less than the mechanical dispersion; and there was no significant difference between the estimated dispersivities of tested aquifer materials. Consequently, it seems that the difference in the containment retardation capacities between four aquifers tested in this study would primarily result not from hydrodynamic dispersion but from partitioning.

A large equilibrium and kinetic data set for multi-component cation exchanges was obtained and tested with mass action law and surface complexation model. The systematic batch equilibrium and column experiments of cation adsorption were conducted for binary, ternary, quaternary, and quinary cation exchanges involving $ H^{+}, Li^ {+}, Na^{+}, NH$_4$^{+}, Mg^{2+} $ on a strongly acidic cation exchange resin IRN 77. The mass action law and surface complexation model were tested against both data set to investigate the consistency of ion selectivity and their predictability for competitive cation exchanges. Surface complexation model provided more accurate predictions for both equilibrium and kinetic experimental data than mass action model.

Inhibitory compounds of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) were separated from Doenjang (traditional Korean fermented soybean paste). Water extracts from Doenjang which showed ACE inhibitory activity were separated with gel permeation chromatography (GPC), in which two fractions with high ACE inhibitory activities were obtained. The first fraction from GPC was further isolated by semi-preparative reverse phase preparative-HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) and 2-dimensional electrophoresis/thin layer chromatography (TLC). The purified spot had molecular weight of 759 daltons and ninhydrin-positive non-peptide. The second fraction from GPC was also further isolated by semi-preparative reverse phase HPLC and $NH_2-column$ HPLC. One fraction with high ACE inhibitory activity was purified and characterized. Molecular weight of this fraction by LC-MS was 272.34 daltons. The active fraction was identified as Arg-Pro with ACE $IC_{50}$ of $92\;{\mu}M$.

Ginseng saponins have been known as main active principles and are quantified as the index components of ginseng and its products for quality control. However ginseng saponins are easily hydrolyzed in acidic solutions of crude drug preparations. Due to the hydrolysis of saponins in acidic condition, it is generally difficult to determine ginseng saponins In crude drug preparations. Ginseng saponins, prosapogenins and sapogenins of crude drug extracts were quantified by HPLC. Ginseng saponins were quantified by HPLC on $Lichrosorb-NH_2$ column with acetonitrile/water/1-butanol(80:20:10, v/v). Ginseng $prosapogenin-Rg_2$ and $-Rg_2$ were extracted with ethyl acetate from $50\%$ acetic acid hydrolyzates of saponin fractions and quantified by HPLC on $Lichrosorb-NH_2$ column with acetonitrile/water(90:10, v/v). Ginseng sapogenins, panafadiol and panaxatriol, were extracted with diethyl ether from $7\%-sulfuric$ acid hydrolyzates of saponin fractions and quantified by HPLC on ${\mu}-Bondapak\;C_{18}$ column with acetonitrile/methano1/chloroform(83:10:7, v/v). These methods of analyses of sapogenins and prosapogenins were more useful for quality control than those of ginseng saponins in some of crude drug preparations.

A synthesis process for PZT powder using NH$_3$ gas as a precipitator in a bubble column reactor was experimentally successful in develope a production process of Piezoelectric ceramic PZT powder. Also as a reaction by coprecipitation, the crystalized PZT ceramic powder at the condition of over pH 9 could be attained. The time needed for reaction on the condition of NH$_3$ gas flow rate=0.5 1/min, Ar gas flow rate=2.0 1/min, Feed flow rate=2.33 ml /sec was less than five minutes, so it could synthesize PZT powder for such a few moments. And the synthesized PZT powder was 0.17${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in diameter on an average.

We isolated a calcium-binding substance from Smilacis rhizoma hot-water extract using ion exchange, normal phase HPLC, and gel filtration chromatography; fractions were analyzed for calcium-binding activity. Fractions (F6) with the highest calcium-binding activity from the resource Q coulmn were pooled and further purified on an $NH_2$ column. Two major peaks were separated and the fraction (F61) with the higher calcium-binding activity was then loaded onto a $Superdex^{TM}$ column. A single peak (F611) with calcium-binding activity was finally obtained. These results suggest that the isolated calcium-binding fraction could be used as a functional food additive, similar to a calcium supplement, in the food industry.

A new high performance liquid chromatographic procedure is described for the analysis of ginseng saponins. Ginseng saponins were separated on Lichrosorb $NH_2$ column and anthraquinone-2, 6-disulfonate (AQDS) solution was added to the column effluent. The effluent was passed through 1.5m-PTFE capillary coiled around 10 W-UV lamp to reduce AQDS to highly fluorescent 9. 10-dihydroxyanthracene-2, 6-disulfonate which was detected by fluorescence detector. The detection limit for the ginsenoside $Rg_1$ by this method was found to be about 350 ng, the dynamic linear range was $10^2$ and the correlation coefficient of the calibration curve was 0.9999.

Lysine produced during microbial fermentation is usually recovered by an ion-exchange process, in which lysine is first converted to the cationic form (by lowering the pH to less than 2.0 with sulfuric acid) and then fed to a cationexchange column containing an exchanger that has a sulfone group with a weak counterion such as NH;. Ammonia water with a pH above 11 is then supplied to the column to displace the purified lysine from the column and allow its recovery. To enhance the adsorption capacity and for a possible reduction in chemical consumption, monovalent lysine fed at pH 4 was investigated in comparison with conventional divalent lysine fed at pH 1.5. The adsorption capacity increased by more than 70% on a mass basis using pH 4 feeding compared with pH 1.5 feeding. Lysine adsorbed at pH 4 started to elute earlier than that adsorbed at pH 1.5 when ammonia water was used as the eluant solution, and the extent of early elution became more notable at lower concentrations of ammonia. Moreover, the elution of monovalent lysine fed at pH 4 displayed a stiffer front boundary and higher peak concentration. However, when the ammonium concentration was greater than 2.0 N, complete saturation of the bed was delayed during adsorption and the percent recovery yield from elution was lowered., both drawbacks that were considered inevitable features originating from the increased adsorption of monovalent lysine.

This study was conducted to supplement limit of previous study, The objectives of this study were to select optimal conditions of high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) operation for detecting urinary 2-thiothiazolicline-4-carboxylic acid(TTCA) and thiocarbamide simultaneously, and to evaluate recovery rates for various liquid-liquid extration method of these metabolites, The results are as follows : 1. The urinary TTCA and thiocarbamide were separate sharply when flow rate is $0.7m{\ell}/min$, using a series $C_8$ and $C_{18}$ column, 50 mM $KH_2PO_4$ : acetonitrile (93.5 : 6.5) and pH 3.5 as a mobile phase. The retention time was TTCA, $12.07{\pm}0.11$(mean${\pm}$SD, n=06), thiocarbamide, $7.85{\pm}0.01$ (mean${\pm}$SD, n=6), respectively. The calibration curve for TTCA and thiocarbamide was linear within the range 0.05 to $30{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. 2. By the liquid-liquid extration, butanol extration with $(NH_4)_2$ as a salting-out reagent was used as a simultaneous extration method for these metabolites in acid state, and recovery rates of this method are urinary TTCA, $49.6{\pm}17.7$ (mean${\pm}$SD, n=16), thiocarbamide, $43,9{\pm}5.50$ (mean${\pm}$SD, n=16), respectively 3. The precision(pooled coefficients of variation for 4 concentration) of the urinary thiocarbamide analysis was 0.03754 by butanol liquid-liquid extraction with $(NH_4)_2$ as a salting-out reagent, and TTCA was 0.04082 by ethyl acetate liquid-liquid extration with $(NH_4)_2$ as a salting out reagent The above results show that the butanol liquid-liquid extraction with $(NH_4)_2$ as a salting-out reagent in acid state, and using a series $C_8$ and $C_{18}$ column, 50 mM $KH_2PO_4$ : acetonitrile (93.5 : 6.5) and pH 3.5 as a mobile phase are suitable for the analysis of urinary TTCA and thiocarbamide simultaneously. The detection limit of TTCA and thiocarbamide was about $0.17{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $0.07{\mu}g/m{\ell}$.
