Spatial (radial and height) distribution of electron number density is measured for an inductively coupled plasma under five operating conditions: (1) no carrier gas, (2) carrier gas without aerosel, (3) carrier gas with aerosol, (4) carrier gas with desolvated aerosol, and (5) carrier gas with aerosol and excess lithium. A complete RF power mapping of electron density is obtained. The plasma electrons for a typical analytical torch are observed to be hollow at the radial center in the region close to the induction coil, but diffuse rapidly toward the center in the higher region of the plasma. The presence of excess Li makes no significant change in the electron density profiles. The increases in the RF power levels increase the values of electron density uniformly across the radial coordinate.

Al(III) and Cr(III) were determined selectively by colorimetry of Bismark Brown R {4,4'[(4-methyl-1,3-phenylene)bis(azo)]-bis(6-methyl-1,3-benzenediamine) dihydrochloride} in the presence of the various cations and anions without the using of any masking agents, but tartrate and citrate ions were interfered. The ligand of Bismark Brown R and complexes of Al(III) and Cr(III) were shown the maximum absorbance at the same wavelength together and both metallic ion were interfered to determine each other, but Al(III) were able to determine after oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(VI).

A sensitive adsorptive stripping voltammetric study was investigated on the complex of indium with morin at a hanging mercury drop electrode in 0.1 M acetate buffer (pH 3.20) solution. The adsorption phenomena were observed by differential-pulse voltammetry. The effects of various analytical conditions were discussed on the reduction peak current of the adsorbed complex on the surface of HMDE. Interferences by other trace metals and surfactant were also discussed. Detection limit was 2.6 nM of indium after 90 second deposition time, and the relative standard deviation (n = 7) at 4TEX>${\mu}g$/l indium was 2.0%.

Differential-pulse cathodic stripping voltammetry was applied to the Sn(II)-cupferron complex in 0.1 M acetate buffer solution (pH 4.20). Effects of solution pH, ligand concentration, accumulation potential, and accumulation time on the reduction peak current for the adsorptive complex of Sn(II)-cupferron were investigated. Interferences by other metal cations that affected on reduction peak current were also discussed. The detection limit was 3.1${\times}$10-9 M (0.37 ppb) of Sn(II) with 60 seconds accumulation time. The relative standard deviation (n=8) for 5${\times}$10-8 M Sn(II) was 3.0%.

Trace amount of cadmium was quantitatively extracted with 1% Aliquat 336-MIBK from 0.2M KSCN and 0.01M-HCl. Test tubes with a screw cap stopper were used for extraction in place of conventional separating funnels and organic solvents used were less dense than water. In this analysis, 22 times concentration effect was achieved with higher selectivity without interference. The detection limit of cadmium was 0.7ppb, therefore trace cadmium was easily analyzed by this method. The proposed method was applied to the determination of cadmium in blood serum and extraction mechanism was elucidated.

The remote real-time uranium concentration analysis using nitrogen laser, optode, photomultiplier and optical fiber is studied. The optode for the remote collection of uranium fluorescence is designed. The fluorescence intensity at time zero is calculated in order to exclude the quenching effect and the temperature fluctuation and used for more precise estimation. The fluorescence change is very sensitive to the uranium concentration change. The method shows the detection limit of 0.06ppm and the linearity between 0.1ppm and 2ppm of the aqueous uranium concentration.

The determination of trace selenium in milk powder has been studied by octopole reaction cell(ORC)-ICP-MS. The interferences by polyatomic ions and other concomitant molecular species could be removed remarkably by using $H_2$ as reaction gas in ORC. Compared to the normal mode (no cell gas), the $H_2$ cell gas mode improved the accuracy and precision. The quantitative result was average 102.7% and it was slightly higher than certified standard value of milk powder and the RSD was 7.6%.

Iron (hydro)oxides in aqueous environments are primarily formed due to mining activities, and they are known to be typical colloidal particles disturbing surrounding environments. Among them, hematites are widespread in surface environments, and their behavior is controlled by diverse factors in aqueous environments. This study was conducted to elucidate the effect of environmental factors, such as ionic composition and strength, pH, and natural organic matter (NOM) on the behavior of colloidal hematite particles. In particular, two analytical methods, such as dynamic light scattering (DLS) and single-particle ICP-MS (spICP-MS), were compared to quantify and characterize the behavior of colloidal hematites. According to the variation of ionic composition and strength, the aggregation/dispersion characteristics of the hematite particles were affected as a result of the change in the thickness of the diffuse double layer as well as the total force of electrostatic repulsion and van der Walls attraction. Besides, the more dispersed the particles were, the farther away the aqueous pH was from their point of zero charge (PZC). The results indicate that the electrostatic and steric (structural) stabilization of the particles was enhanced by the functional groups of the natural organic matter, such as carboxyl and phenolic, as the NOM coated the surface of colloidal hematite particles in aqueous environments. Furthermore, such coating effects seemed to increase with decreasing molar mass of NOM. On the contrary, these stabilization (dispersion) effects of NOM were much more diminished by divalent cations such as Ca²⁺ than monovalent ones (Na⁺), and it could be attributed to the fact that the former acted as bridges much more strongly between the NOM-coated hematite particles than the latter because of the relatively larger ionic potential of the former. Consequently, it was quantitatively confirmed that the behavior of colloidal hematites in aqueous environments was significantly affected by diverse factors, such as ionic composition and strength, pH, and NOM. Among them, the NOM seemed to be the primary and dominant one controlling the behavior of hematite colloids. Meanwhile, the results of the comparative study on DLS and spICPMS suggest that the analyses combining both methods are likely to improve the effectiveness on the quantitative characterization of colloidal behavior in aqueous environments because they showed different strengths: the main advantage of the DLS method is the speed and ease of the operation, while the outstanding merit of the spICP-MS are to consider the shape of particles and the type of aggregation.

Recently, carbon capture and storage (CCS) techniques have been globally studied. This study was conducted to use waste cement powder as an efficient raw material of mineral carbonation for $CO_2$ sequestration. Direct aqueous carbonation experiment was conducted with injecting pure $CO_2$ gas (99.9%) to a reactor containing $200m{\ell}$ reacting solution and the pulverized cement paste (W:C = 6:4) having particle size less than 0.15 mm. The effects of two additives (NaCl, $MgCl_2$) in carbonation were analyzed. The characteristics of carbonate minerals and carbonation process according to the type of additives and pH change were carefully evaluated. pH of reacting solution was gradually decreased with injecting $CO_2$ gas. $Ca^{2+}$ ion concentration in $MgCl_2$ containing solution was continuously decreased. In none $MgCl_2$ solution, however, $Ca^{2+}$ ion concentration was increased again as pH decreased. This is probably due to the dissolution of newly formed carbonate mineral in low pH solution. XRD analysis indicates that calcite is dominant carbonate mineral in none $MgCl_2$ solution whereas aragonite is dominant in $MgCl_2$ containing solution. Unstable vaterite formed in early stage of experiment was transformed to well crystallized calcite with decreasing pH in the absence of $MgCl_2$ additives. In the presence of $MgCl_2$ additives, the content of aragonite was increased with decreasing pH whereas the content of calite was decreased.
