Horseradish peroxidase(HRP) in organic solvent can be reactivated by evaporation. In order to measure the evaporation effect, the enzyme solutions were obtained by evaporation and dilution of organic solvent, respectively. Although two situations were thermodynamically identical, the activity from evaporation was higher than that from dilution. From the UV absorbance and the fluorescence intensity mesurements, it can be explained that reactivation of enzyme activity might be caused by reversible folding, and the enzyme obtained by evaporation was more refolded than that obtained by dilution.

정밀화학, 제약산업 등에 필요한 에탄올, IPA 등과 같은 유기용매를 고순도로 농축하는 공정은 유기용매와 물과의 혼합물이 일정 농도에서 공비점을 형성하여 일반 증류로는 분리하기 힘들어 Benzene, Cycloheaxane 드의 Entrainer를 첨가하여 상대휘발도를 변화시켜 분리하는 공비증류가 이용되고 있다. 그러나 공비증류는 에너지 사용량이 많고 유독한 물질을 사용하므로 투과증발법과 같은 저에너지 소비형, 환경 친화적인 공정에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 투과증발법에 의한 유기용매 농축공정은 물과의 친화성이 높은 비다공성 막을 이용하여 선택적으로 물을 투과하여 유기용매를 탈수하는 방법으로 투과를 위한 Driving force는 Feed side와 Permeate side사이의 Chemical potential gradient로 이는 물에 대한 Partial vapor pressure differnece로 다음과 같이 표시된다. $\Delta \mu_{F/P.W} = RT ln\frac{y_WP_P}{x_W\gamma_WP_{o.W}}$ 따라서 투과속도를 높이기 위해서 Permeate side를 진공상태로 하여 투과하는 물질을 기화시키고 이를 다시 응축하여 Permeate side의 압력을 낮게 유지시켜야 한다.

A poly(amic acid) (PAA) was prepared by reaction of 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) and 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]hexafluropropane (BAPP) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). The cast films of the synthesized PAA were thermally treated at different temperatures to create polyimide (PI) films. The heat treatment temperature varied between 80 and $230^{\circ}C$ to investigate the imidization index in relation with the solvent evaporation rates. The progress of PAA imidization was examined using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and a Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR) at various time and temperature. The experimental results showed that the imidization index was fast at the initial stage in the presence of solvent, DMAc, reaching the final imidization. When the imidization temperature is high over $200^{\circ}C$, the imidization index decreased because the solvent was evaporated too fast.

In-situ photolysis is one of the most promising ways to clean up a soil contaminated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). This study focuses on the mathematical description and model development of the convective upward transport of an organic solvent driven by evaporation and photodecomposition at the surface as the major transport mechanism in the clean up process. A finite-element-based numerical model was proposed to incorporate effects of multiphase flow on the distribution of each fluid, gravity as a driving force, and the use of van Genutchen equation for more accurate description of k-S-p relations. This paper presents results of extensive numerical calculations conducted to investigate the various parameters that play a role in the solvent migration through a laboratory-scale unsaturated soil column. The numerical results indicate that gravity affects significantly on the fluids distribution and evaporation for highly permeable soils. The soil texture has a profound influence on the fluid saturation profile during evaporation process. The amount of solvent convective motion increases with increasing evaporation rates and decreasing initial water saturation. Simulations conducted in this study have shown that the developed model is very useful in analyzing the effects of various parameters on the convective migration of an organic solvent in the soil environments.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate bonding efficacy by means of measuring the effect of remained solvent on Degree of conversion(DC) and ${\mu}TBS$ and FE-SEM examination. Materials and Methods: Two 2-step total etching adhesives and two single-step self etching adhesives were used in this study. First, volume weight loss of 4 dentin adhesives were measured using weighting machine in process of time in normal conditions and calculate degree of evaporation (DE). Reaction/reference intensity ratio were measured using micro-Raman spectroscopy and calculate DC according to DE. Then 2 experimental groups were prepared according to air-drying methods (under, over) and control group was prepared to manufacturer's instruction. Total 12 groups were evaluated by means of micro tensile bond strength and FE-SEM examination. Results: Degree of evaporation (DE) was increased as time elapsed but different features were observed according to the kind of solvents. Acetone based adhesive showed higher DE than ethanol and butanol based adhesive. Degree of conversion (DC) was increased according to DE except for $S^3$ bond. In ${\mu}TBS$ evaluation, bond strength was increased by additional air-drying. Large gaps and droplets were observed in acetone based adhesives by FE-SEM pictures. Conclusions: Additional air-drying is recommended for single-step self etching adhesive but careful consideration is required for 2-step total etching adhesive because of oxygen inhibition layer. Evaporation method is carefully chose and applied according to the solvent type.

Some methods used for the recovery of osmium and ruthenium from primary/secondary sources are reviewed. Both Ru and Os could form volatile oxides which enable their separation from the other PGMs by distillation as a traditional method. In hydrochloric acid solution, they also form chloro-complexes with different valence states. Amines or amine based mixture have been used to extract Ru. Solvating extractants are employed to separate Ru and Os. The detailed extraction and stripping conditions of several solvent extraction processes have been reviewed. As an alternative to solvent extraction, solid-liquid method can be applied to recover trace amount of these metals.

TEvaporator is key component in food, seawater distillation and waste water treatment system, which is basically to concentrate the raw liquid by evaporating the pure water under vacuum condition. The liquid concentration is performed through the membrane, electro-dialysis and evaporation. In this study, only the evaporating type was treated for evaluating the economic analysis with the various operating conditions. The results of this study showed that the performance of the OT-MSF desalination system is increased with decreasing the temperature difference between the neighboring evaporators, which means that the number of evaporators is increased, under the determined design conditions.

투과증발법은 증류법에 비해 에너지 소비가 더 적기 때문에 공업적인 응용 측면에서 유용한 분리공정이다. 대부분의 투과증발법에 대한 연구는 공비혼합물, 비점이 서로 비슷한 혼합물, 이성질체증을 분리, 특히 물과 에탄올과의 공비혼합물의 분리와 물로부터 희박 방향족 화합물을 회수하는데 행해져 왔다. 친수성막은 유기용매의 탈수에 사용되어져 왔고 반면에 소수성막은 유기수용액으로 부터 유기물을 분리하는데 사용되어져 왔다. 천연소재인 키토산은 친수성기들을 가지고 있기에 물과 에탄올의 분리에서 물을 선택적으로 투과시켜 효과적인 투과증발막으로 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 키토산을 복합막화하여 실제 상업화에 적합한 선택도와 투과유량을 가진 투과증발막으로 개발하고자 하였다. 도한 키토산 복합막의 물에 의한 팽윤현상을 제어하기 위해 두가지 가교방법으로 글루타르알데히드 가교를 설치하였으며, 이에 따른 투과성능의 영향을 평가하였다.

Polymeric membranes consisting of poly(d,1-lactide) as a polymer matrix and crystallizable progesterone as a drug were prepared by coagulating polymeric solutions. The homogeneous casting solutions in dimethyformamide were solidified by using three different coagulating processes : solvent evaporation under vacuum, solvent extraction via immersion into the nonsolvent bath, or vapor exposure at high humidity condition. With solvent removal via evaporation under vacuum, the cast solution film was vitrified to form a homogeneous film containing progesterone of spherical shape distributed evenly in the film. Being prepared by solvent extraction via immersion into a water bath, the resulting membrane showed an asymmetric structure, with progesterone of big crystallites distributed unevenly in the structure. On the other hand, the coagulation under high humidity transformed the cast film into a sponge-like structure, where progesterone took a shape like flake.
