Ion exchange membrane is widely used in various fields such as electro dialysis, diffusion dialysis, redox flow battery, fuel cell. PVC cation exchange membrane using ultrasonic modification was prepared by sulfonation reaction in various sulfonation times. Sulfuric acid was used as a sulfonating agent with ultrasonic condition. We've characterized basic structure of sulfonated PVC cation exchange membrane by FT-IR, EDX, water uptake, ion exchange capacity (IEC), electrical resistance (ER), conductivity, ion transport number and surface morphology (SEM). The presence of sulfonic groups in the sulfonated PVC cation exchange membrane was confirmed by FT-IR. The maximum values of water uptake, IEC, electrical resistance and ion transport number were 40.2%, 0.87 meq/g, $35.2{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ and 0.88, respectively.

The continuous experiments were carried out using fixed-bed column packed with strong-acid cation exchange resin for the removal of lithium ions from aqueous solution. The parameters such as bed height, flow rate and inlet concentration were investigated. Breakthrough time ($t_{0.05}$), saturation time ($t_{0.95}$), and total amount of lithium ion removed (mtotal) were obtained from the breakthrough curves. The results showed that $t_{0.05}$ and $t_{0.95}$ decreased with decreasing bed height, and decreased with increasing inlet concentration and flow rate. mtotal increased with increasing inlet concentration and bed height, but decreased with increasing flow rate. Thomas model and Yoon-Nelson model equations were applied to the experimental data, the results showed that the breakthrough data gave a good fit to Thomas model equation.

Recently, various curriers prepared by the modification both cationic polymers and liposomes have been examined. In this work, we prepared the lipid with polyethylenimine (PEI) to investigate the possibility as effective DNA carrier. Cationic lipid (PEI-DSPE) was synthesized by the reaction of PEI and 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoetha-nolamine (DSPE). The liposomes were prepared by the concenoation changes of PEI-DSPE for a mixture of 1,2-disteanyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC), L-$\alpha$-phosphatidylcholine, hydrogenated (HSPC) and cholesterol (CHOL). Particle size decreased as PEI-DSPE concentration increased. In addition, the charge of liposome surface increased to positive value according to increasing the relative of PEI-DSPE concentration. The complexation of DNA was confirmed by gel retardation assay and fluorescence measurement. The surface charge of liposome/DNA complexes increased as the liposome concentration or surface charge of liposome increased. In conclusion, we confirmed that the prepared liposomes have the possibility as a DNA carrier.

Ion exchange equilibria in bulk and rhizosphere soil collected from peach seedlings were studied to find exchange equations that could be used in chromatographic models dealing with movement and distribution of fertilizer ammonium and exchangeable cations in soil profiles. Soil samples were equilibrated with mixtures of $NH_4Cl$, KCI, and $CaCl_2$ solutions and then extracted with $Sr(NO_3)_2$ solution to determine exchangeable cation compositions at equilibrium. Exchange data were fitted to Vanselow's, Gapon's, and Kerr's equations, but those formulations did not adequately describe the equilibria. An empirical equation of the form : ${\frac{\alpha_i^m}{a_j^n}}=K{\frac{(iX)^{mPi}}{(jX)^{nPj}}}$ which has an exponent on each of the exchangeable cation concentrations could describe the equilibria very well over the range of treatments. In this equation ${\alpha}^i$ and ${\alpha}^j$ are activities of cation i and j with valences m and n respectively. (iX) and (jX) are concentrations of exchangeable cations. Mole or equivalent fractions can be considered as the exchangeable ion concentration unit. Arbitrary constants $P_i$ and $P_j$, and distribution coefficient K can be found with multiple regression for the logarithmic form of the equation.

The ionic composition of soil solution is related to a nutrient uptake by plant. Many models for estimating ionic composition of solution have been developed, and most of them have been used for calculating a content of mineral and ionic species in a geochemical point of view. An approximation model considering both cation and anion in soil solution was developed. Variables such as pH, Eh, EC, cations(K, Ca, Mg. Na, Fe, Mn, Al, $NH_4{^+}$), anions(Si, S, P, CY, $NO_3{^-}$, $HCO_3{^-}$ and chemical equilibria of ionic species in soil solution were input into Excel sheet. The activities of soluble ion, ionpairs and complexes of input element were estimated by Newton-Raphson method using conditional equilibrium constant calculated by Davies equation and special models. Equilibrium contents of insoluble minerals and complexes were also calculated.

본 연구에서는 양이온 교환반응에 의해 Na-Mont와 R$_{11}$SO$_4$로부터 R$_{11}$SO$_4$-Mont 층간화합물을 합성한 후, 이 R$_{11}$SO$_4$-Mont 층간화합물을 다시 제 4차 유기 양이온인 (Et)$_4$N$^{+}$ 이온 및 (Bu)$_4$N$^{+}$ 이온과 반응시켜 그 거동을 살펴보았다. R$_{11}$SO$_4$-Mont를 (Et)$_4$N$^{+}$이온과 반응시켰을 대보다 (Bu)$_4$N$^{+}$ 이온과 반응시킨 경우에 좀 더 큰 층간거리가 얻어졌다. R$_{11}$SO$_4$-Mont를 (Et)$_4$N$^{+}$이온 및 (Bu)$_4$N$^{+}$과 반응시켜 얻은 층간화합물을 다시 아세토니트릴, 에탄올 및 디옥산과 팽윤반응을 수행한 결과 층간거리가 확장되었으나, 이는 Na-Mont를 R$_{11}$SO$_4$와 48시간 교환 반응시킨 후에 교환용액 하에서 얻은 R$_{11}$SO$_4$-Mont의 층간거리에 불과했다. 원소분석결과, R$_{11}$SO$_4$-Mont와 (Bu)$_4$N$^{+}$를 반응시킬 경우 반응이 반응식 b에 의거 진행되고, (Bu)$_4$N-Mont를 R$_{11}$SO$_4$와 반응시킬 경우에는 반응식 c에 의거 진행됨을 예측할 수 있었다.의거 진행됨을 예측할 수 있었다.

We studied on preparation of nanoparticles modified surface using biodegradable polymer, poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA). Two kinds of PLGA nanoparticles were prepared by a spontaneous emulsification solvent diffusion (SESD) method using cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) as a cationic surfactant and polyethylene glycol-block-polypropylene glycol copolymer (Lutrol F68) as a nonionic surfactant. Model protein was coated on the surface of nanoparticles by the ionic complexation. The model protein was that influenza vaccine ($H_3N_2,\;H_1N_1$, B strain) labeled with NHS-fluorescein. The sizes of cationic nanoparticles were 140-160 nm and the surface charges were 50-60 mV. The sizes of nonionic nanoprticles were 80-90 nm and the surface charge was -10 mV. After coating vaccine on the surface of nanoparticles, the sizes of cationic nanoparticles were increased to 380-400 nm and the size of nonionic nanoparticles was not increased. The amount of coated vaccine on the cationic nanoparticles was 22.73 ${\mu}g$/mg.

Mineralogical and chemical characterization of some domestic bentonites, such as quantitative XRD analysis, chemical leaching experiments, pH and CEC determinations, were done without any separation procedures to understand their relationships among mineral composition, characteristics, and cation exchange properties. XRD quantification results based on Rietveld method reveal that the bentonites contain totally more than 25 wt% of impurities, such as zeolites, opal-CT, and feldspars, in addition to montmorillonite ranging 30～75 wt%. Cation exchange properties of the zeolitic bentonites are deeply affected by the content of zeolites identified as clinoptilolite-heulandite series. Clinoptilolite is common in the silicic bentonites with lighter color. and occurs closely in association with opal-CT. Ca is mostly the dominant exchangeable cation, but some zeolitic bentonites have K as a major exchangeable cation, The values of cation exchange capacity (CEC) determined by Methylene Blue method are comparatively low and have roughly a linear relationship with the montmorillonite content of the bentonite, though the correlated data tend to be rather dispersed. Compared to this, the CEC determined by Ammonium Acetate method, i.e.‘Total CEC’, has much higher values (50～115 meq/100 g). The differences between those CEC values are much greater in zeolitic bentonites, which obviously indicates the CEC increase affected by zeolite. Other impurities such as opal-CT and feldspars seem to affect insignificantly on the CEC of bentonites. When dispersed in distilled water, the pH of bentonites roughly tends to increase up to 9.3 with increasing the alkali abundance, especially Na, in exchangeable cation composition. However, some bentonites exhibit lower pH (5～6) so as to regard as ‘acid clay’. This may be due to the presence of $H^{＋}$ in part as an exchangeable cation in the layer site of montmorillonite. All the works of this study ultimately suggest that an assesment of domestic bentonites in grade and quality should be accomplished through the quantitative XRD analysis and the ‘Total CEC’measurement.

텅스텐브론즈 세라믹스의 결정구조는 산소 팔면체를 뼈대로 각각 다른 형태의 A, C, B 양이온 자리로 이루어져 있다. A, C의 양이온 자리는 알카리 이온 또는 알카리 토금속 이온으로 채워지며, B 자리는 Nb 또는 Ta 이온으로 채워지게 된다. 이 중 A와 C 자리가 채워지는 정도로 unfilled, filled, completely filled 텅스텐브론즈로 나누어지게 된다. completely filled 텅스텐브론즈의 대표적인 물질인 $K_3Li_2Nb_5O_{15}$(KLN)는 전광특성, 비선형 광학특성으로 인하여 다양한 광소자로의 응용과 압전 특성, 초전 특성을 이용한 압전 소자로의 응용이 가능한 재료로 보고되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 꽉 찬 결정구조로 인하여 KLN의 경우 한정된 고용영역을 가지고 있어 물리적 성질의 변화가 제한되어 있는데, 이를 극복하기 위한 여러 가지 시도가 있었다. 이 중 A 자리와 C 자리를 치환하는 연구는 많이 알려져 있으나 치환시 빈 자리를 수반하는 경우가 대부분이다. 반면, B 자리를 치환하는 연구는 Nb를 Ta로 치환하는 경우가 알려져 있는데 이 경우 결정내에 빈자리가 생성되지 않는다. 이들 연구는 모두 단결정의 경우에 국한되어 있으며 단결정 제조시에는 조성을 정확히 조정하기 어렵고, 냉각시 crack이 발생하는 등의 문제를 가지고 있어 그 응용이 제한되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 KLN 다결정 세라믹스에서 Nb를 Ta으로 치환하여 치환에 따른 상변화와 치밀화 거동, 그리고 이에 따른 전기적 특성을 조사하여 이들 간의 상관관계를 조사하였다.
