In this study, the model cognition level of high school science-gifted students about the two types of acid-base models taught in secondary schools was analyzed. In order to find out the model cognition level of students, 12 items were developed based on the acid-base reaction and the dissociation reaction of acids and bases. The subjects of the study were 95 students of two science-gifted schools. As a result of the questionnaire analysis, model cognition levels were analyzed 6 levels in the context of consistency, inconsistency, and unexplainable scope of the two models. In the acid-base reaction item, the largest percentage of students cognized only understanding of the two models. In the acid-base dissociation reaction item, they understood the two models and perceived the 'Known Ignorance' that cognizes the limitations of one model. However, there was only one student who perceived the limitations of both models and all of the 'Unknown Ignorance' that the model could not explain. Through this, we argued that there is a need for educational efforts to raise the model cognition level of science-gifted students.

Acid/Base buffer capacity of soil is very important in prediction of contaminant transport for its direct impact on pH change of the system composed of soil-contaminant-water, In this research, diffuse double layer theory as well as two layer electrostatic adsorption model are applied to develop a theoretical model of buffer capacity of soil. Model application procedures are presented as well. Buffer capacity of Georgia kaolinite and Milwhite kaolinite was measured by acid-base titration. Model prediction and experimental results are compared.

This study analyzed the level of chemistry teachers' cognition related to two types of acid-base models taught in secondary schools. For the purpose, a questionnaire was developed to identify teachers' cognitions based on previous studies that analyzed the 'Ignorance' of each model. The questionnaire consisted of two items, one related to acid and base reactions and one related to acid and base dissociation, which suggested inconsistencies between the two models. The subjects were 15 chemistry teachers, and as a result, teachers' cognitions were analyzed at four levels. The four levels are: if they don't know the two models, if they only understand one model, if they understand the two models, and perceived the 'Ignorance' of one model, and if they understand the two models and perceived the 'Ignorance' of the two models. The largest proportion of teachers understood the two models and perceived the 'Ignorance' of one model. However, the proportion of understanding the two models and perceiving the 'Ignorance' of the two models was very small. Through this, we argued that efforts to increase the level of chemistry teachers' cognition of the model and 'Ignorance' were necessary.

This study investigated the perceptions of the relationship among the three acid-base models of chemistry teachers. In addition, we examined how the perception of the relationship between models affected on the interpretation of concepts in each model. To investigate teachers' perceptions and interpretations, a questionnaire and interviews were conducted for 24 chemistry teachers. As results, most of the chemistry teachers recognized the three models as cumulative extension relationships. The perceptions were related to the contents of textbooks. The perception of the relationship of these models influenced on interpretations of the models' acid-base concept. In this study, we suggested that science teachers need to be aware of diverse models' roles.

과학 모델은 복잡한 자연현상을 단순화하고 패턴화한 것이다. 따라서 과학 모델은 특정한 알고리즘을 가지며, 과학 모델에 대한 이해는 모델이 갖는 특정한 알고리즘에 대한 이해와 직접적으로 관련되어있다. 본 연구에서는 많은 학생들이 대안 개념을 가지고 있는 산-염기를 주제로 하여, 이 모델이 가지는 알고리즘을 학습하기 위한 프로그램을 설계하고, 알고리즘을 학습 하였을 때 과학 학습에 미치는 효과를 확인하였다. 고등학생 3학년을 대상으로 4차시로 수업을 진행하였으며, 수업의 사전과 사후 검사를 실시하여, 학생들의 모델에 대한 이해를 분석하였다. 수업 결과, 학생들은 모델의 정의와 화학반응 및 화학평형의 정성적인 부분에서는 이해의 향상을 보였으나, 정량적인 부분에는 효과를 보이지 못하였다. 이는 화학이 많은 수의 입자를 고려해야 하는 독특한 과목의 특성에 기인하며, 이를 보완하기 위하여 추후 컴퓨터프로그램을 교육 도구로 사용하는 수업을 통해 후속연구를 진행하고자 한다.

본 논문은 화학에서 사용되는 2가지 산, 염기 모델에 대한 이해를 높이고자 각 모델의 핵심 알고리즘가 반영된 단계별 교육용 콘텐츠를 개발하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 먼저 Arrhenius와 Brønsted-Lowry 모델이 갖는 핵심 알고리즘을 탐색하였으며, 이러한 핵심 알고리즘을 반영된 단계별 교육용 콘텐츠를 JAVA를 이용하여 개발하였다. 개발된 교육용 콘텐츠는 총 5단계로 구성되어 있다. 1단계는 화학에서 다루어지는 입자들이 개별적으로 무작위하게 운동함으로 표현하였으며, 2단계는 화학반응이란 이러한 무작위적 운동 중 입자 간 충돌에 의해 반응이 개시됨을 보여주었다. 3단계에서는 단일입자에 대해 정반응과 역반응을 동시에 고려한 진행되는 상황을, 4단계는 여러 입자가 동시다발적으로 정반응과 역반응에 참여한 상황을 구현하였다. 마지막 5단계는 정반응과 역반응의 공존의 비율이 다른 상황을 통해 평형상수의 의미를 고찰하도록 하였다. 창발적 사고의 핵심은 여러 입자를 생각하는 확률적 사고와 이러한 여러 입자가 개별적으로 움직인다는 사고가 반영되어야 한다. 이 연구에서 개발한 교육콘텐츠를 활용한다면 학생들이 보다 창발적 사고를 하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.

A novel multi-criteria decision making strategy is developed for the construction of industrial symbiosis network in eco-industrial park and the strategy is applied to the construction of acid/alkali wastewater neutralization network in Yeosu industrial complex. Acid (or alkali) wastewater is commonly generated in chemical industries, and it can be used as neutralizing agent for alkali (or acid) wastewater generated from another source. As a consequence, a large-scale industrial symbiosis network for wastewater neutralization can be constructed in petrochemical complexes where a large amount of acid/alkali wastewater is generated. In this study, substance flow model is constructed which describes the wastewater neutralization network and multi-criteria decision making strategy is applied to find a few candidate for industrial symbiosis network.

We analyzed the representations of acid-base models in 4 kinds of Chemistry I and 4 kinds of Chemistry II textbooks of the 2009 revised curriculum, and 9 kinds of Chemistry I textbooks and 6 kinds of chemistry II textbooks of the 2015 revised curriculum in this study. The problems of the textbook were divided into the problems of definitions and the representations of the logical thinking. As a result of the study, the lack of the concept of chemical equilibrium had a problem with the representation of reversible reactions in the definition of the Brønsted-Lowry model in the Chemistry I textbooks of 2009 revised curriculum, it also appeared to persist in Chemistry I textbooks of 2015 revised curriculum which contains the concept of chemical equilibrium. The representations of logical thinking were related to particle kinds of conservation logic, combinational logic, particle number conservation logic, and proportion logic. There were few problems related to representation of logical thinking in Chemistry I textbook in 2009 revision curriculum, but more problems of representations related to logics are presented in Chemistry I textbooks in 2015 revision curriculum. Therefore, as the curriculum is revised, the representations of chemistry textbooks related to acid and base models need to be changed in a way that can help students' understanding.

The purpose of this study was to identify the problems faced by students in sub-microscopic representation of acid-base reactions. Herein, we selected 30 students of 12^th grade science classes, who had studied various acid-base models. In order to investigate the sub-microscopic representation ability of the students, we developed nine items related to various contexts, such as one type of solute and solvent, two types of solutes and solvent, cases with water as solvent or with nonaqueous solvents. For all items, we consistently observed lack of concept of chemical change. In context of aqueous and nonaqueous solutions, the frequency of lack of concept of chemical bonding was high if ammonia was the solute or solvent. Moreover, the frequency of lack of concept related to the degree of electrolytic dissociation was high. Therefore, chemistry teachers should understand that students' ability to sub-microscopic representation of acid-base reactions can be enhanced by analyzing the difficulties faced by the students in solving diverse acid-base problems.

In steel factory, hot roller cleaning process produces a lot of iron oxide particles called as mill scale. Major components of these particles are wustite (FeO), magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$), and hematite ($Fe_2O_3$). In this study, we tried to produce pure magnetite from the mill scale because of the largest phosphate adsorption capacity of the magnetite. The mill scale was treated with acid (HCl+$H_2O_2$), base (NaOH), and acid-base ($H_2SO_4$+NaOH). Batch adsorption tests showed the acid and/or base treatment could increase the phosphate adsorption capacity of the iron oxides from 0.28 to over 3.11 mgP/g. Magnetite, which could be obtained by acid and base treatment of the mill scale, showed the best adsorption capacity. From the kinetic analysis, both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm well described the phosphate adsorption behavior of the magnetite. In Langmuir model, maximum phosphate adsorption capacity was found to be 5.1 mgP/g at $20^{\circ}C$.
