In order to investigate selective phase transformations and to determine the maximum Au leaching factors from microwave treated Au-bearing complex sulfides, a microscope, SEM-EDS analysis, and thiocyanate leaching tests were performed. When the Au-bearing complex sulfides were exposed to microwave heating, increasing the microwave exposure time increased temperature and decreased weight. Arsenopyrite was first selectively transformed to hematite, which formed a concentric rim structure. In this hematite, oxygen and carbon was detected and always showed high iron content and low arsenic content due to arcing and oxidation from microwave heating. The results of the leaching test using microwave treated sample showed that the maximum Au leaching parameters was reached with 0.5 g concentration thiocyanate, 2.0 M hydrochloric acid, 0.3 M copper sulfate and leaching temperature at$60^{\circ}C$. Under the maximum Au leaching conditions, 59% to 96.69% of Au was leached from the microwave treated samples, whereas only 24.53% to 92% of the Au was leached from the untreated samples.

On board comparison of pH and total alkalinity measurement in seawater was carried out during the JES expedition on R/V Roger Revelle in the East Sea using 550 real seawater samples from the surface to the bottom. Spectrophotometry and potentiometry without liquid junction were compared for pH measurement. The pH values of two methods are generally in a good agreement. Spectrophotometry with a pipette provides higher value compare with the potentiometry in the deep layer, where pH values are lower. However, spectrophotometry without a pipette shows same values with potentiometry within their precision range. The pipetting procedure may remove of $CO_2$ in the sample, which causes increase of pH. Potentiometric titration methods using a closed-cell and an open-cell were compared for the total alkalinity measurement. Values from open cell method are smaller by about 5~10 ${\mu}mol\;kg^{-1}$ than those from closed cell method. This may be caused by the bubble formed in the closed cell during the experiment. Although any analytical method compared in this study for the pH or TA measurement can be applied, special attentions should be paid for satisfactory results.

This study was undertaken to investigate the physicochemical properties of chitosans produced from chitins which were prepared from shrimp shell under the 4 different conditions(HCl concentration : 1 N, 4 N and reaction temperature $0^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C$). The effects of chitosan on the properties of Kakdugi during storage also were examined. Viscosity of chitosan was markedly different$(313.1{\sim}98.8\;cps)$ depending on the production conditon. Chitosan solution showed pseudoplastic property. The infrared(IR) spectrums of chitosans prepared under the conditions of this study were very simillar, and the degree of deacetylation of chitosan was relatively high$(92{\sim}96%)$ independent of the extraction conditions of chitin. As the storage period was extended, markedly lower pH and higher titratable acidity were resulted in all the groups. Throughout the storage period, pH and titratable acidity of kakdugies with chitosan were higher and lower, respectively than those of control. Viscosity of kakdugi juice was significantly different among the groups and as the storage period increased, the juice viscosity decreased. At the eighth day of storage, the juice of control group was more viscous than those of kakdugies containing chitosan. Throughout the storage period the numbers of total microorganisms and of microorgarnisms of Leuconostoc genus in control kakdugi tended to be higher and lower, respectively than those in kakdugies containing chitosan. The growth of Lac. plantarum was slightly lower in kakdugi containing chitosan C produced at low HCl concentration and high temperature compared to the others.

Flavonoids are bioactive plant metabolites that have a range of beneficial effects on human health. Quercetin 4'-glycoside (Q4'G), quercetin 3,4'-diglycoside (Q3,4'G), and quercetin aglycone (QA) are the main flavonoids found in onions. QA, in particular, is likely to have a greater biological effect than glycosides. To develop an onion extract with high quercetin content, the optimal extraction conditions for red onion powder containing the outer layer of the onion were determined. The effects of acid treatment on the concentration of quercetin glycosides and QA were evaluated. The flavonoids of red onion powder were optimally extracted under 60-70% ethanol at 70℃ for 2 h. The deglycosylation of Q3,4'G and an increase in Q4'G content occurred within 6 h of 0.2% acetic acid treatment. The QA content and deglycosylation of Q4'G eventually peaked at 24 h. In addition, QA content and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity were highly correlated, with a correlation coefficient of 0.90.

This study was conducted to obtain the fundamental data for the processing of carrot juices and know the effects of blanching conditions, acid and alkali treatments and sterilization on the quality factors of carrot juices. The result obtained was as follows. 1. Blanching condition, $100^{\circ}C$, 5min. was the most effective for the Brix, amino-N content, suspended solid, light transmittance and yield of carrot juices among $90^{\circ}C$, 15min., $95^{\circ}C$, 10 min., and $100^{\circ}C$, 5min. 2. 0.05N-acetic acid solution was the most effective blanching solution for the suspended solid, light transmittance, viscosity and yield of the juices compared to 0.05N-citric acid and 0.03N-hydrochloric acid solution. 3. The color changes during the processing of carrot juices caused by blanching process rather than sterilization process. 4. The ${\beta}$-carotene in carrot juices was very stable and about 80 % of it was remained in the carrot juice which had been blanched, extracted and sterilized at $115^{\circ}C$ for 30min. 5. Alkali treatment for the juice from acid - blanched carrots formed discoloration after sterilization. 6. Relative content (%) of sugars in raw carrot juice we re ribose, 8.51%; fructose. 10.15%; glucose, 12.25%; sucrose, 49.53% and oligosaccharide, 19.56%. When the carrots were blanched in boiling water, the contents of monosaccharide and disaccharide decreased slightly but that of oligosaccharide increased slightly, however, when the carrots were blanched in acid solution, and then neutralized and sterilized, relative contents of ribose and sucrose decreased remarkably but that of oligosaccharide increased considerably and those of glucose and fructose increased slightly. 7. Nineteen sorts of free amino acid were detected from the carrot juices and the mains of them were threonine+asparagine, alanine, serine+glutamine, aspartic acid, arginine, and glutamic acid.

Purpose [⁶⁸Ga]PSMA-11 is needed the high reproducibility, excellent radiochemical yield and purity. In term of radiation safety, the radiation exposure of operator for its production also should be considered. In this work, we performed a comparative study for the fully automated synthesis of [⁶⁸Ga]PSMA-11 between non-cassette type and cassette type. Materials and Methods Two different type of modules (TRACERlab FX N pro for non-cassette type and BIKBox for cassette type) were used for the automated production of [⁶⁸Ga]PSMA-11. According to the previously identified elution profile, Only 2.5 ml with high radioactivity was used for the reaction. After adjusting the pH of the reaction solution with HEPES buffer solution, the precursor was added and reacted with at 95 ℃ for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was separated and purified using a C18 light cartridge. The product was eluted with 50% EtOH/saline solution and diluted with saline. It was completed by sterilizing filter. In the non-cassette type, the aforementioned process must be prepared directly. However, in the cassette method, synthesis was possible simply by installing a kit that was already completed. Results Both total [⁶⁸Ga]PSMA-11 production time were 25±3(non-cassette type) and 23±3 minutes(cassette type). The radiochemical yield of the non-cassette type(65.5±5.7%) was higher than that of the cassette type(61.6±4.8%) after sterilization filter. The non-cassette type took about 120 minutes of preparation time before synthesis due to washing of synthesizer and reagent preparation. However, since the cassette type does not require washing and reagent preparation, it took about 20 minutes to prepare before synthesis. Both type of synthesizer had a radiochemical high purity(>99%). Conclusion The non-cassette type production of [⁶⁸Ga]PSMA-11 showed higher radiochemical yield and lower cost than the cassette type. However, The cassette type has an advantage in terms of preparation time, convenience, and equipment maintenance.

현재 반도체 공정에서 사용되는 세정기술은 대부분이 1970년대 개발된 RCA 세정법인 과산화수소를 근간으로 하는 습식 세정으로, 표면의 입자를 제거하기 위한 SC-1 세정액은 강력한 산화제인 과산화수소에 의한 표면과 입자의 산화와 암모니아에 의한 표면의 에칭이 동시에 일어나 입자를 표면으로부터 분리시킨다. 금속 불순물을 제거하기 위한 SC-2 세정액은 염산과 과산화수소 혼합액을 사용하며 금속 불순물을 용해시켜 알칼리나 금속 이온을 형성하거나 용해 가능한 화합물을 형성시켜 제거한다. 또한 황산과 과산화수소를 혼합한 Piranha 세정액은 효과적인 유기물 제거제로서 웨이퍼에 오염된 유기물을 용해 가능한 화합물로 만들거나 과산화수소에 의해 형성되는 산화막내에 오염물을 포함시켜 불산 용액으로 산화막을 제거할 때 함께 제거된다. 최근 금속과 산화막을 동시에 제거하기 위해 희석시킨 불산에 과산화수소를 첨가한 세정공정이 사용되고 있으며 불산에 의해 표면의 산화막이 제거될 때 산화막내에 포함된 금속 불순물을 동시에 제거시킬 수 있다. 그러나 이와 같이 습식세정액 내에 공통적으로 포함되어 있는 과산화수소의 분해는 그만큼 가속화되어 사용되는 화학 약품의 양이 그만큼 증가하게 되고 조작하기 어려운 단점도 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 환경친화적인 관점으로 화학약품의 사용을 최소화하는 등 RCA세정을 보완하는 연구가 계속 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 RCA세정법을 환경적으로 대체할 수 있는 세정에 사용되는 전리수의 pH변화에 따른 전리수 분석을 하였다. 전리수의 제조를 위하여 전해질로는 NH4CI (HCI:H2O:NH4OH=1:1:1)를 사용하였다. pH 11 이상, ORP -700mV~-850mV인 환원수와 pH 3 이하, ORP 1000mV~1200mV인 산화수를 제조하였으며, 초순수를 첨가하여 pH 7.2와 ORP 351.1mV상태까지 조절하였다. 이렇게 만들어진 산화수와 환원수를 시간 변화와 pH 변화에 따라 Clean Room 안에서 FT-IR과 접촉각 측정기로 실험하였다. FT-IR분석에서 산화수는 pH가 높아질수록, 환원수는 낮아질수록 흡수율이 낮아졌다. 접촉각 실험에서는 산화수의 pH가 높아질수록 환원수의 pH가 낮아질수록 접촉각이 커짐을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 전리수를 이용하여 세정을 하면, 접촉성을 조절할 수 있어 반도체 세정을 가능하게 할 수 있으며, 환경친화적인 결과를 도출할 것으로 전망된다.

Aluminium foil for electrolytic capacitors was anodized at the voltage of 100V and 140V for 10 minutes in ammonium adipate solution to form aluminum oxide layer on aluminum substrate as an dielectric film. The thickness, the stoichiometry and the crystal structure of the layer were investigated by using RBS and TEM . In addition EIS technique was employed to study the effects of addition of sulfuric acid on the increment of the foil surface area. It was found that the thickness values of the layers anodized at 100V and 140V were about 130 nm and 190 nm respectively and the stoichiometry of the elements of aluminum and oxygen was 2:3. The anodic oxide layer was shown to be amorphous. but the structure irradiated with electron beam resulted in the transformation into crystalline structure of $${\gamma}$-Al_2$$O_3$ . From a comparison of the impedance results and the capacitance variation to investigate the ef- fects of sulfuric acid addition to the etching bath of hydrochloric acid, the EIS techinque could be useful to analyze the capacitance variation.

Apricot Kernel, consumed as herbal medicine, contains amygdalin which generate HCN upon hydrolysis. Dyspnea was reported by ingesting large amount of apricot kernel, and neurological disorders such as tropic ataxic neuropathy or konzo were known as chronic toxicity of amygdalin. Other cyanogen containing plants, including flaxseed and almond, are consumed as food around the world. Moreover, some of them are promoted as functional food, leading to higher consumption, and posing health risk by cyanogenic components. The objective of this study was to find a method for the reduction of the cyanogenic compound, using apricot kernel as a model food. The most effective reduction was obtained by boiling the slices of the kernel for one hour in pH 1 HCl solution, showing 90% removal. However, the common process known to reduce the cyanogen contents, i.e., long incubation at the low temperature, did not show significant change in cyan concentration. Our data contribute to the safety of the plants containing cyanogenic compounds if they were to be developed as foodstuff.
