Conversion and oil-yield of a used automotive tire sample in supercritical decomposition and extraction for three solvents such as water, 28% ammoina solution and ammonia, were compared. Supercritical extraction with ammonia gave the highest conversion and oil-yield at the same temperature and pressure. In this paper, supercritical ammonia was used as major solvent and tetralin acting as hydrogen-donor, was used as cosolvent. As the amount of tetralin increased, oil-yield was Increased. When a tire sample was extracted by supercritical ammonia, oil-yield was 48.8% at $280^{\circ}C$, 22.3MPa. But when the weight ratio of tetralin to tire sample (weight of tetralin/weight of tire sample) was 5, oil-yield was 61.2% at $280^{\circ}C$ and 22.3 MPa. These phenomena indicate that as radicals produced in supercritical decomposition become stable, the polymerization and the second decomposition of products may be inhibited. Supercritical extraction of a tire sample swollen by tetralin gave high oil-yield although the amount of tetralin was a little.

The rate constants for the hydrolysis of the derivatives of N-(p-nitrophenyl)-benzohydrazonyl azide (p-$CH_3,\;p-CH_3O,\;p-NO_2$, p-Cl, p-Br) have been determined by UV spectrophotometry in 50% dioxane-water at $25^{\cicr}C$ and a rate equation which can be applied over wide pH range was obtained. Below pH 5, the rate of hydrolysis of hydrazonyl azides is accelerated by electron-donating group ($\rho$ = -0.47), whereas at the pH values greater than 7, the $\rho$-value is 0.68. The effect of salt, solvent, substituent and azide ion on the rate of hydrolysis are rationalized in terms of $S_N1$ and $S_N2$ mechanism; below pH 5, the hydrolysis proceed through $S_N1$, however, above pH 7, the hydrolysis is started by the attack of hydroxide ion and in the range of pH 5∼7, these two reactions occur competitively.

The kinetics of hydrolysis of ${\alpha}$-nitrobenzaldehydephenylhydrazone derivatives (p-$NO_2$, m-$NO_2$, p-Cl, p-$CH_3$) have been investigated by UV spectrometry in 25% dioxane-water at $25^{\circ}C$ and a rate equation which can be applied over wide pH range was obtained. From the rate equation and the effect of solvent, substituent and pKa on the rate equation, the following reaction mechanisms were proposed. Below pH 3.0 the hydrolysis of ${\alpha}$-nitrobenzaldehydephenylhydrazone proceeds by $S_N1$ mechanism, while above pH 4.0 the hydrolysis proceeds through 1,3-dipole ion mechanism. In the range of pH from 3.0 to 4.0 these two reactions occur competitively.

This study was carried out to discuss a colorimetric method for the determination of nitrite in meat products issued by the Ministry of Health and Social Affaires of Korea (1985). 1) The recovery rates of nitrite of test solution extracted in the room temperature were higher than those obtained by the heating extraction. 2) In the room temperature, samples prepared with the sUce were more effective than the blendina method and the distlled water as extractina solvent for nitrite was more effective tban tbe phospbate buffer solution. 3) The extracting time showed that thirty minutes were enough to extract nitrite and the diazotizingcoupling reagents, 30% of sulfanilamide and N-l-naphthylethyienediamine were better than others. 4) The nitrite in a test soiution greatly decreased when the solution was distilled. In this case, the test solution should be used as a control. 5) Ten minutes were enough to couple nitrite.

The rate of hydrolysis of insecticidal $O,O-diethyl-{\alpha}-cyanobenzylideneamino-oxyphosphorothioate\;(Volaton^{\circledR})$ has been studied in 25% (v/v) aqueous dioxane. On the basis of solvent effect (pH 6.0; m=0.21, n=1.55, pH 12.0; m=0.42, n=3.14 & $|m|{\ll}|l|$), general base catalysis, hydrolysis product analysis, calculation of molecular orbital (MO) and rate equation, it may be concluded that the hydrolysis of Volaton proceeds through the $A_{AC}2$ mechanism via trigonal bipyramidal $(sp^3d^2)$ intermediate below pH 7.0, while above pH 9.0 the hydrolysis proceeds through the $B_{AC}2$ mechanism. Hydrolysis reactivity of Volaton depends on positive charge strength $(p{\gg}{\alpha}C_2)$ rather than steric hindrance. In the range between pH 7.0 and pH 9.0, these two reactions occur competitively.

$TiO_2$ fine powders were synthesized via hydrolysis reaction of titanium isopropoxide in isopropanol solvent and the reaction rates were studied by use of UV spectroscopic method. The reactions were controlled to proceed to pseudo-first-order reaction in the presence of excess water in isopropanol solvent. The rate constants which varied with temperature and concentration of water were calculated by Guggenheim method. Reactions using $D_2O$ were also carried out to determine the catalytic character of water. n value of water molecules in transition state and the thermodynamic parameters showed that the reaction proceeded by $S_N2$ mechanism. $TiO_2$ powders synthesized in this reaction were almost spheric forms and had average particle size of $0.3{\mu}m$ diameter.

The Yeongheungdo shipwreck was excavated in the sea of Seomeopbeol, Ongjin-gun, Incheon, Korea. Chemical characterization of timbers from the shipwreck occurred via maximum moisture content, chemical composition, FT-IR, solid state $^{13}C$ NMR, and XRD analyses. As maximum moisture content of the outer part of the timbers averaged 623%, a phenomenon in that lignin increased relatively, according to the decrease in cellulose, and the ash content increased, which is typical of waterlogged archaeological wood was shown. The results from the FT-IR and solid state $^{13}C$ NMR analyses showed that the cellulose band of the outer part had disappeared or had remarkably decreased. In addition, the bands assigned to lignin dramatically increased. However, regarding the inner part of the timbers, hemicellulose and some crystalline cellulose and amorphous cellulose bands decreased. Therefore, a large difference exists between the degradation levels of the outer and inner parts of the timbers of the Yeongheungdo shipwreck.

Screening of a strain was carried out to produce an enantioselective lipase toward the precursor of ltraconazole as azole-containg compounds, which are well known as antifungal drug agents. An Acinetobacter sp. SY-01 strain which can selectively hydrolyze the racemic substrates was isolated and the racemic substrate was resolved to the S-ester in 95.6% enantiomeric excess after 74.8% hydrolysis. The optimum temperature and pH for the conversion were $50^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0. However, the temperature and pH had no effect on the enantiomeric excess. Addition of solvents decreased the conversion and slightly increased the enantiomeric excess. However, the kind of solvents had no effect on enantiomeric excess. The substrate concentration decrease enantiomeric excess and this is confirmed by the products generated from hydrolysis, and also enantiomeric excess could be increased by the removal of reaction products.
