Natural gases generally consist of mainly $^{12}C$ and about 1.1% of $^{13}C$. It is well known that a stable carbon isotope, $^{13}C$, has been widely used for the applications of medical, pharmaceutical, and agricultural tracers. As a result, the development of the separation and concentrating technology of $^{13}C$ can cause of high value-added products and the possibility of the generation of new carbon materials, In general, there are two kinds of approaches to obtain a stable $^{13}C$ isotope by the separation of cryogenic distillation. One is to obtain a concentrated $^{13}CH_4$ isotope from natural gas. Another approach is to get concentrated $^{13}CO$ by distillation followed by a chemical reaction of $CH_4$ and $H_2O$. In this study, rigorous process simulations of the cryogenic distillation have been performed and analyzed for the concentrated separation of $^{13}C$ isotopes from LNG and NG by using commercial process simulator. Due to the very small differences of relative volatilities and separabilities of $^{12}C$ and $^{13}C$, the process design and operation of effective separation and concentration of $^{13}C$ need special strategies and feasibility studies. Utilization of vapor pressure data to acentric factor in SRK equation of state and optimized process conditions have been able to predict for the effective of the separation yield and concentration of $^{13}C$ for the cryogenic distillation. The various operation strategies for both batch and continuous cryogenic distillation are also studied and suggested for the basic design of the process. Development of this study can provide a tool for the effective design and operation of the cryogenic separation of $^{13}C$.

In this study, the separation of rare earths and aluminium from the dried powder of waste cerium polishing slurry was investigated. Since cerium oxide, 40％ of rare earths, is the most stable state in rare earth, the dissolution of cerium oxide in acid solution is not easy. Therefore the dissolution process of cerium oxide by sulfation was examined in order to increase the recovery of rare earth. The rare earths could be separated from aluminum by double salt precipitation using sodium sulfate.

본 연구는 대천 유성지역 유성천 소유역에서 강우시 유출수문곡선으로부허 기저유출성분과 강우성분을 분리하여 동적 평형에 의한 강우의 지하수 함양률을 추정하기 위해서 수행되었다. 보존적인 산소동위원소(18O) 추적자를 이용하여 2성분(기저유출성분과 강우성분) 유출수문곡선 분리하였으며 이로부터 추정된 지하수 함양률은 강우의 0.13이었다. 추적자를 이용한 유출수문곡선분리는 지하수 함양률을 정량적으로 나타낼 수 있다는데 의의가 있다.

백금족 원소인 Rhodium 과 Palladium 담지 SDBC 고분자촉매를 제조하여 삼중수소 분리반응 특성을 실험하였다. 수중에서도 고활성을 유지하는 소수성촉매 제조를 위하여 고수율의 벌크중합법에 의한 SDBC 고분자담체를 합성하였다. 삼중수소 분리반응실험은 수소유속과 반응온도를 촉매물질에 따라 변화 시켜서 반응효율을 측정함으로써 수행하였다. 실험결과 Rhodium-SDBC 와 Palladium-SDBC 공히 삼중수소 분리반응에 활성이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 Rhodium은 유망한 백금대체 촉매물질로 개발될 수 있음이 밝혀졌다.

Copper is an essential transition metal involving in various biogeochemical processes. With the recent advances in analytical techniques and mass spectrometry, such as MC-ICP-MS, it is possible to measure Cu isotopes, which allows us to understand various biogeochemical processes in detail. Nonetheless, few studies have been performed in South Korea. In this study, we compared two purification methods previously reported using an anion exchange resin ($AG^{(R)}$ MP-1M), developed the best method in our lab environment, and then verified it by measuring Cu isotopic compositions in two USGS geological reference materials (BHVO-2 and BIR-1a). Although all matrix cations causing mass bias were effectively removed through both two methods with the yield of better than 95%, the method using the mixture of HCl and $H_2O_2$ only displays Cu isotopic compositions, in excellent agreement with reported values within the error. The method developed in this study is expected to be commonly applied to earth and environmental sciences.

Strontium selective chromatographic material $(Sr-Spec^{TM})$ was investigated for separation of radiostrontium from environmental soil and water sample. This chromatographic material has great capacity of binding of strontium ion in nitric acid media, and has selectivity to permit the separation of stontium from bulk amount of calcium. But the extraction of strontium was reduced by the other interfering ions such as K and Ba. So, in order to apply this material to the soil sample, prior removal treatment of K and Ba was needed. But the Sr-Spec material could provides simple and effective methods for the separation and removal of radiostrontium from liquid sample.
