Solvent extraction is an important process to recover pure gold and silver from various leaching solutions. The present work reviews the aqueous chemistry and solvent extraction separation of gold (I, III) and silver (I) from several leaching systems such as cyanide, thiocyanate, thiosulfate, thiourea and chloride medium. The extraction and separation behavior of gold (I, III) and silver (I) by various single and mixtures was compared on the basis of extraction reaction and the selectivity from these mediums. The chloride medium is recommended for the separation of gold and silver by solvent extraction in terms of extraction and stripping efficiency.

Silver nanowire-based transparent electrodes are very attractive as a next-generation flexible and transparent electrode that can replace ITO-based flexible electrodes because they have excellent conductivity, transmittance and mechanical flexibility. However, weak understanding of the silver nanowire solution for the fabrication of silver nanowire-based transparent electrodes often cause abnormal operation of the electrical device or peeling problem of the electrode films when applied to electronic devices. Here, we studied a Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) adhesion promoter, which is one of the additives for silver nanowire solution, to improve the understanding of silver nanowire solution. In detail, it is characterized how the HPMC changes the properties of silver nanowire solution and silver nanowire film, which is fabricated with silver nanowire solution including the HPMC adhesion promoter. As the characteristics of solution, polar surface tension and dispersive surface tension were measured. As the film characteristics, surface energy, surface morphology, silver nanowire density, and sheet resistance were analyzed.

Effects of grapefruit seed extract and Ag ion solution on the keeping quality and shelf life of mungbean sprouts were investigated in terms of weight loss, gas composition, hardness, color, ascorbic acid content, and viable cell counts during storage. Packages with $30\;{\mu}m$ polypropylene(PP) film was applied for mungbean sprouts dipped in Ag ion solution, 50 ppm and 100 ppm GFSE, 50 ppm and 100 ppm GFSE in Ag ion solution and stored $5^{\circ}C$. Totally weight loss exceeded $1\%$ and no visible signs of shrivelling of mungbean sprouts were observed. GFSE in Ag ion solution treatment, resulting in mungbean sprouts of better visual quality, weight loss, color, ascorbic acid as compared to the control without dipping. A shelf life of 6 days was achieved with 100 ppm GFSE in Ag ion solution treatment.

전위차 측정형 바이오 센서는 기준전극에 대한 센서 전극의 전기화학적 전위를 정확하게 측정하여야 하므로 기준전극의 안정성이 매우 중요하다. 기준전극의 전위는 전해질 용액 내의 염소 음이온 농도에 영향을 받으나 다행히도 혈액 내의 염소 음이온 농도는 거의 변화가 없으므로 혈액 속에서의 은/염화은 기준전극의 전위도 거의 변화가 없다. 본 연구에서는, 사진석판 (Photolithography) 공정을 이용하여 실리콘 표면 및 다공질 실리콘 표면에 은/염화은 박막 기준전극을 제작하고 시료 용액에서의 drift, 안정성, 재현성 등에 대한 특성을 고찰하였고, SEM, AES, EDX 스펙트럼 등을 이용하여 전극의 표면을 분석하였다. 시료 용액의 염소 음이온 농도를 $10^{-4}$M에서 1M까지 변화시켜가며 기준 전극의 전위를 측정한 결과 약 50mV/pCl의 기울기를 얻었으며 이것은 Nernst식을 잘 따르는 결과이다.

In order to exclude the effect of uneven distribution of gold in anode slime, the dissolution of gold and silver from the metal mixture was investigated in different systems, such as the mixture of hydrochloric acid and oxidizing reagents ($H_2O_2$, NaClO and $HNO_3$), thiosulfate and thiourea. In the mixture of HCl and either $HNO_3$ or $H_2O_2$, Au was completely dissolved but the leaching percentage of Ag was around 1%. In both thiosulfate and thiourea solution, gold was not dissolved at all. The presence of ferric ion in acidic thiourea solution showed a favorable effect on the leaching of silver but further study is necessary to elucidate the combined effect of ferric ion and sulfuric acid.

Leaching experiments of anode slime were performed with several inorganic acids (HCl, $HNO_3$ and $H_2SO_4$) together with thiourea and thiosulfate solution to recover gold and silver. Gold was not dissolved at all into these inorganic acids in the absence of any oxidizing agents. At the same concentration of inorganic acid, the leaching of percentage of Ag was the highest in the sulfuric acid solution. The leaching percentage of silver increased with the increase of HCl concentration owing to the formation of $AgCl_2{^-}$. Copper, nickel and zinc except tin was almost dissolved in these inorganic acids but no tin was dissolved in nitric acid solution. Most of Au and Ag were dissolved into the mixture of sulfuric acid and thiourea solution. Thiosulfate could dissolve some silver from the anode slime but no gold was dissolved by this agent.

This study is to investigate the effects of the draw solution concentration on forward osmosis desalination performance using blended fertilizer as draw solution. As the concentration of blended fertilizer solution (draw solution) increased, the water permeate flux increased nearly linearly, but PR (performance ratio) was reduced. Using sea water and deionized water as the feed solution, respectively, at the blended fertilizer solution of 600 g/L $H_2O$, the PR obtained were 5.39 and 6.50, respectively. And as the concentration of blended fertilizer solution increased, the reverse solute flux for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) increased nearly linearly, but specific reverse solute flux for them was reduced. The reverse solute flux and specific reverse solute flux became higher in the order of N > K > P.

Ag/polystyrene(PS) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ reduction of silver 2-ethylhexylcarbamate (Ag-CB) complex and follwing radical polymerization only by heating at 110 $^{\circ}C$. In contrast to this conventional heating method, the microwave irradiation afforded well-dispersed silver nanoparticles(NPs) in styrene monomer without polymerization. The synthesis of Ag NPs proceeded uniformly throughout the reaction vessel only under microwave irradiation, completing the reaction simultaneously in the whole reaction solution. Successive polymerization of the monomer containing the resultant NPs has successfully produced a hybrid of the silver NPs dispersed in PS matrix. Ag/PS (0.1/100) nanocomposites were prepared successfully by melt-mixing process using Ag/PS(4.0/100) as a master-batch. UV-VIS spectroscopy, TEM, and X-ray diffraction techniques were used to investigate the process of formation of Ag/PS nanocomposites.

감자절편을 고농도용액에 침지하여 탈수시킨 결과 침지용액을 구성하는 용질의 분자량에 따라 탈수형태가 다르게 나타났다. 저분자 용액인 NaCl, PEG 400 용액에 침지한 경우 조직의 뒤틀림현상(cytorrhysis) 은 나타나지 않고 부피의 감소와 수분의 탈수현상이 나타난 반면 고분자 용액인 PEG 4000, PEG 6000용액에 침지한 경우 cytorrhysis 현상을 동반한 부피의 감소와 탈수현상이 나타났다. 초기 탈수속도는 저분자 용액에 침지시 더 빨랐으나 최종 탈수량은 고분자 용액에 침지시 더 컸다 고장성 용액에 감자절편을 침지시켜 탈수되는 기작이 두가지 압력(삼투압 분자압착력)에 의해 진행된다고 가정하고 모델을 제안하여 감정한 결과 제안된 모델은 고분자 용액에 침지시의 탈수현항을 설명하는데 적합하였다. 모델에서 구해진 압력인자(ΔP)와 농도인자(a)는 온도(T)와 농도(C) 의 함수로 표현되며 계수의 탄력성 검정결과 농도에 대한 의존성이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.
