Nitrosation of phenol (POH) was studied by adding hydrochloric acid and sodium nitrite to phenol solution with reaction temperature and time change. The optimum condition of nitrosation was found from the effects of hydrochloric acid and sodium nitrite concentration, reaction temperature, and reaction time changes on the production of nitrosophenol (POHNO). As a result, it was found that the optimum conditions were $5.0{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}2.0{\times}10^{-3}M$ range of $NO{_2}^-$ concentration, more than 0.10 M of HCl concentration, temperature of $80^{\circ}C$, and 3 hrs. of reaction time. In this condition, 10 U.S. E.P.A. classified priority environmental pollutant, phenols, were nitrosated. Nitrosated phenols were: POH, 2-Chlorophenol (2ClPOH), 2,4-diChlorophenol (2ClPOH), 2,4-dimethylphenol (24diMPOH), and 4-Chloro -3-methylphenol (4Cl3MPOH), and a small part of 2-nitrophenol (2NPOH). The ${\lambda}_{max}$ values of nitrosated phenols in acidic solution were around 300 nm, and those in basic solution were around 400 nm. Molar absorptivities (${\varepsilon}$) at the 400 nm of the nitrosated phenols in the basic solution were 1.5~2.0 times larger than those at 300 nm in acidic solution. It was also found by Capillary-HPLC chromatograms of the nitrosated phenol solutions that the production of the nitrosophenols were interfered by the excess concentration of nitrite (more than $3.0{\times}10^{-3}M$).

Comparative fining trials were conducted in a laboratory to study the effects of fining treatments including polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) and bentonite on the color and clearness of apple wine. The wines were subjected to three different fining treatments: PVPP, PVPP+bentonite (applied at the same time), and PVPP+bentonite (24 h later). Based on the results, all treatments induced noticeable decreases in wine color (APHA value) and turbidity. The treatment including PVPP and bentonite at the same time provided the best results in relation to wine color and clearness. PVPP was the most effective in the reduction of phenolic compounds, which means it helped wine obtain a paler color. Organic acids and aromatic profile were not altered by the fining treatments.

Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has been effectively applied for environmental remediation due to its ability to reduce various toxic compounds. However, quantification of nZVI reactivity has not yet been standardized. Here, we adapted colorimetric assays for determining reductive activity of nZVIs. A modified indophenol method was suggested to determine reducing activity of nZVI. The method was originally developed to determine aqueous ammonia concentration, but it was further modified to quantify phenol and aniline. The assay focused on analysis of reduction products rather than its mother compounds, which gave more accurate quantification of reductive activity. The suggested color assay showed superior selectivity toward reduction products, phenol or aniline, in the presence of mother compounds, 4-chlorophenol or nitrobenzene. Reaction conditions, such as reagent concentration and reaction time, were optimized to maximize sensitivity. Additionally, pretreatment step using $Na_2CO_3$ was suggested to eliminate the interference of residual iron ions. Monometallic nZVI and bimetallic Ni/Fe were investigated with the reaction. The substrates showed graduated reactivity, and thus, reduction potency and kinetics of different materials and reaction mechanism was distinguished. The colorimetric assay based on modified indophenol reaction can be promises to be a useful and simple tool in various nZVI related research topics.

Solvent extraction using aqueous solutions is presumed as one of the most effective methods applicable to in situ conditions without excavation of contaminated soils. Laboratory permeameter soil flushing test is performed to describe the process of solvent extraction of contaminants absorbed on soil particles. When the permeameter tests conducted, diffusion of contaminants through the permeameter flexible-wall was considered for adjusting the remediation percentage. Input and output balance for concentration was well matched in the permeameter tests. Nitrobenzene diffused so excessively (approximately 75%) that it was not suitable for the permeameter desorption tests. No biodegradation was detected in the soil samples.

The size, morphology and composition of nanoparticles are regarded as the most important factors to the efficiency of catalytic reduction of various chemical compounds. In order to make a systematic comparison, gold, platinum and palladium nanoplates with 100 nm diameter with rough surface morphology were manufactured through the galvanic replacement reaction, and the reaction kinetics of the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol and 4-nitroaniline was systematically analyzed by spectroscopic measurement. According to the observation, the catalytic reduction efficiency was significantly different against the constitutional elements in order of Pd > Au > Pt, and it was additionally influenced by the type of substrate.

This article focuses how the materials of hatstrings of the 19th to 20th century gat, the Korean top hat for men among the collections of National Folk Museum of Korea, was transformed after port opening treaties with overseas since 1876. As a result of analyzing the materials of the hatstrings, amber, tortoiseshell, wood and bamboo as the traditional materials were used, and ivory, glass (soda glass, lead glass, alkali mixed glass) and plastics (cellulose nitrate, phenol-formaldehyde, polystyrene, acryl) were newly used for the hatstrings. Bamboo, wood and amber were the most frequently used materials. Bamboo was mainly used for the pipe of hatstring and were combined with beads and central decorations of other materials. This shows the trend of bamboo hatstring according to the simplification of the clothing and the culture by Regent Heungseon Daewongun. Ambers were used in the central decorations and beads and the origin of ambers was baltic amber just like the amber relics found in Korea. Compositions of glass were soda glass and alkali mixed glass which were excavated or handed down in Korea from ancient times to Joseon dynasty. But in the case of lead glass, Na2O was detected and it is considered to be a new type lead glass for crafts which came from overseas after port opening since 1876 because it showed the characteristic that it deviates from the lead glass component found in Korea. Plastics such as cellulose nitrate and phenol-formaldehyde were used as new synthetic materials to replace traditional materials such as tortoiseshell, amber, and coral as in the West. Cracks, crazing, crumbly and yellowing of cellulose nitrate of hatstrings were observed by deterioration. The survey of the materials of the 19th to 20th century hatstrings among the collections of National Folk Museum of Korea showed that the introduction of new materials such as glass and plastics were used to replace natural materials such as tortoiseshell and amber along with the use of traditional materials after port opening since 1876.

The effects of pH on the sequential sorption/desorption of chlorinated phenols (2-chlorophenol, 2.4-dichlorophenol and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol) in HDTMA-montmorillonite were investigated by maintaining pH 4.85 or 9.15 in the sequential batch sorption and desorption experiments. The chlorinated phenols are hydrophobic ionizable orginic compounds; they can exist as either neutral (pH << pKa) or anionic (pH >> pKa) forms. Among the tested chlorinated phenols, 2,4,5-trichlorophenol showed the highest sorption affinity at pH 4.85 as expected by the $K_{ow}$ . Neutral speciation at pH 4.85 exhibited higher sorption affinity than anionic speciation at pH 9.15. Our results indicates that desorption of chlorinated phenols is strongly dependent on pH of the aqueous phase. Freundlich model was used to analyze the single-solute sorption/desorption results. The ideal adsorbed solution theory(IAST) was employed to predict the hi-solute sorption/desorption equilibria.

In this paper, to investigate the effect of the offset ink formulation on deinking of Korean old newspaper, the samples printed with five different types of offset ink were aged naturally for 10, 30, 90, 180 days, and then yield, brightness, fiber length, physical properties(tensile, tear, burst index) were evaluated according to aging time. As the aging time increased, the yield and brightness of respective samples decreased. Particially, as the addition amounts of linseed oil increased, those of samples decreased. Therefore, linseed oil is thought to reduce the deinkability of ink. Also, containing rosin-modified phenolic resin and gilsonite seem to reduce brightness of samples according aging time. In physical properties, tensile index and burst index were roughly decreased, but tear index was increased according to aging time. However, the three indexes of the sample containing only linseed oil as the vehicle component were considerably reduced in comparison with those of other samples, as once crosslinked a strong bond between the ink and fibers was produced and made it difficult to defibrate in producing sheets.
