The interaction between polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) and silver cation has been studied in water at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The PVP and PVP/Ag composite was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and oxygen/carbon dioxide analyzer. We identified silver cations interacting with nonbonding electrons of the oxygen atom in the carbonyl group of PVP. It was shown that PVP/Ag formed stable composites.

가압경수로형(PWR) 원자력발전소에스는 원자로 출력조절을 위한 중성자 흡수체로 붕산(Boric Acid)을 사용하며, 불순물이 농축되는 것을 방지하기 위하여 이온교환수지로 수질 정화를 하고 있다. 그러나, 붕산으로 포화운전되는 이온교환수지에서 붕산보다 이온선택도가 낮은 실리카는 제거되지 않으므로, 원자력발전소의 운전년수 경과에 따라 1차계통수(원자로냉각재)의 붕산수중에 실리카 농도가 증가하게 된다. 한편, 실리카는 고온, 고압 운전조건에서 양이온불순물과 결합하여 핵연료피복재에 열전달을 방해하는 규석(Zeolite)층을 형성함으로서 국부가열(Hot Spot)에 의한 핵연료 손상을 일으킬 수 있으므로, 효율적인 실리카 제거기술이 요구된다. 따라서, 기존에 원전에서 사용하고 있는 Feed & Bleed에 의한 수질정화 방법은 다량의 폐기물 발생 및 붕산보충이 필요하므로, 역삼투막(RO)을 이용하여 붕소와 실리카의 최적 분리, 회수조건을 연구하고, 붕산저장 용량이 큰 SFP(Spent Fuel Pool)의 수질정화용 이동형 RO장치를 개발하기 위하여 붕산수중의 실리카에 대한 역삼투막의 선택적 제거특성을 검토하였다.

Water culture experiment with mulberry (Morus alba L.)was carried out to investigate the ionic composition in the exudate and the ionic content in the organs (leaves, petioles, stem cortex, and roots) of mulberry tree with three different nitrogen sources ($NO_3-N$, $NH_4-N$, and $NH_4NO_3$). 1. Amount of exudate was much lower for $NH_4-N$ than for $NO_3-N$. 2. Total nitrogen content in the exudate was the highest in the NH4-N, the order of 2.2 times than in the $NO_3-N$. However, total nitrogen amount absorbed by tree per hour was proportional with the exudate amount. As the result, total nitrogen amount was higher 1.6 times in $NO_3-N$ ($289.6\;me\;plant^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$ than in $NH_4-N$. 3. Ammonium nitrogen depressed $Ca^{2+}$ uptake critically and even all of the anions, whereas $Mg^{2+}$, $K^+$ and $Na^+$ affected little. 4. Reduction of $NO_3$ may occured both in root and in leaves. 5. Content of cations and anions was highest in petioles, except $Ca^{2+}$ which was highest in leaves. As the result, petioles may be the storage organ of nutrients. 6. By increasing $NH_4-N$, ionic balance (C-A) decreased proportionally. 7. Nutrients amount in the exudate were approximatelly proportional with the amount in the roots. This suggested that roots may be the part diagnosed for nutrients. Being the sum of anions (${\Sigma}A$) higher than that of cations (${\Sigma}C$) in the roots, the ionic balance showed negative value.

Superabsorbent poly(potassium acrylate-co-acrylamide)s were synthesized in particle form using inverse suspension polymerization technique. Mean diameter of the prepared polymer particles decreased from 300 to 50 $\mu\textrm{m}$ with increasing surfactant concentration. The dynamic and equilibrium swelling behaviors during water absorption and drying process were investigated by weight measurement. The swelling ratio of polymer particles in water changed according to not only polymer crosslinking density, but particle size, saline concentration of aqueous medium, and copolymer compositions. Water sorption amount was increased with decreasing particle size, crosslinking agent concentration, and ion concentration in bulk solution. Being different from the water sorption process, the drying process was not significantly affected by particle size, polymer composition, or crosslinking amount.

The L $i_{0.5}$F $e_{2.5-x}$A $l_{x}$ $O_4$ systems (x=0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.5) were investigated by X-ray diffraction and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The structure of all the samples is cubic spinel type and lattice constant decrease with increasing Al content x. The Moissbauer spectra reveal two sextet for 0$\leq$x$\leq$0.6, two sextet and a doublet for 0.9$\leq$x$\leq$1.2, and a doublet for x=1.5. The cation distribution of the samples is (L $i_{1-a}$$^{+}$F $e_{a}$ $^{3+}$)$^{A}$[L $i_{a-0.5}$$^{+}$A $l_{2.5-a-x}$$^{+}$F $e_{2.5-a-x}$$^{3+}$]$^{B}$ $O_4$$^{2-}$ and substituted $Al^{3+}$ ions decrease the covalency of F $e^{3+}$- $O^{2-}$ bond in B-sites and A-B super-exchange interactions.tions.s.tions.ons.s.

Recently, due to narrow margin on design factor of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems or aging of systems, some problems such as decrease of $SO_2$ removal efficiency and difficulty on coping with unstable state are arising on FGD systems. On this study, to cope with these problems several methods such as adjustment of reagent pH, inlet $SO_2$ concentration, variation of units of operation pump, installation of liquid distribution ring (LDR) were attempted to increase the $SO_2$ removal using spray type simulated FGD system. Also, sulfite and Al/Fx ion effects on limestone blinding were experimented. When three absorber recirculation pumps were operated, $SO_2$ removal was increased by 12% in comparison with that of two pumps operation. $SO_2$ removal was increased by 2~7% after installation of LDR. Dissolved oxygen increased up to 0.5 ppm and limestone binding effect was alleviated after injection of dibasic acid (DBA) with the concentration of 500 and 1,000 ppm. When $Al^{3+}$ and $F^-$ ions were coexisting, the dissolution rate of limestone was decreased by 20%.

A total of 129 surface(upto 30 cm depth) soil samples were selected from the profile samples collected during reconnaissance soil survey in 1967, for the determination of phosphorus absorption co-efficient. The distribution range for each soil association has been established. The physicochemical factors affecting the phosphorus absorption coefficient have also been examined. The following general conclusions can be drown: 1. In general, the phosphorus absorption coefficient of the soil association of presently arable land are lower than the soils which are not in cultivation. 2. The higher the cation exchange capacity of soils, the higher is the phosphorus absorption coefficient. The factors governing phosphorus absorption coefficient in various soil associations are as follows: Parent Material Soil Association Governing Factor Fluvio marine Low Humic Gley Fluvio marine Alluvial Complex Narrow valley Siliceo mafic materials Red-yellow podzolic Redish Siliceo mafic materials Brown Lateritic Clay content Siliceous crystalline materials Lithosols C.E.C. & Clay content Alluvium Low Humic Alluvium Gley Alluvial Organic matter Siliceous crystalline materials Red-Yellow Podzolic Organic matter and clay content 4. The relation between phosphorus absorption coefficient determined by $(NH_4)_2HPO_4(y)$ and by the P 700 ppm $NaH_2PO_4(x)$ is $Y=2.716X+37(r=0.96^{**})$ which shows highly significant positive correlation and linear regression.

A new absorption spectrometric method for the determination of the Cr$_2O_7^{2-}$ ionin acidic media has been developed. The new method is based on the oxidation-reduction reaction of the HCr$O_4^-$ ion with H$_2$O$_2$forming a deep blue CrO(O$_2$) $_2$ andis coupled with a technique of flow injection analysis(FIA). The new method provides a linear calibration curve which accurately follows the Beer's law over a wide range of the analytical concentrations(2.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-6}$M~8.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-3}$M) of K$_2$Cr$_2$O$_2$. The sensitivity of the new method is approximately two times greater than the current method and the effects of the interfering substances such as V, Co, Ni, Fe, and Mn are almost negligible except Cu.

The interaction between pyronine G(PG) and surfactants has been examined by the absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The optimum condition for ${\gamma}$-band in PG-AOT system was found when S/D(concentration of surfactant / concentration of PG) was in the vicinity of 80. The disassociation of stacking conformation occured gradually at S/D>80. In PG-cationic and nonionic surfactant systems the absorptivity of monomeric PG increased. With the increment of the concentration of NaCl in PG-AOT system, the absorptivity of ${\gamma}$-band decreased at S/D<10 but, increased remarkably at S/D>20. PG-AOT system with the addition of NaCl showed greater dissociation than that without the addition of NaCl.

$M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectra of the $Ni_{1+x}Ti_xFe_{2-2x}O_4$ systems ($0{\leqq}x{\leqq}0.7$), which appear as single phase spinel structure, were examined at RT. The $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectra reveal two sextet for $0{\leqq}x{\leqq}0.3$, two sextet and a doublet for $0.4{\leqq}x{\leqq}0.6$, and a doublet for x=0.7 As x increases, the area ratio of B-site and A-site($A_B/A_A$) of the sextet decreases, and the area ratio of the doublet and the total areas($A_{doublet}/A_{tot.}$) increases. The isomer shift(I.S.) of A-site slightly increases and magnetic hyperfine fields($H_{hf}$) of two sites decrease as the increasing x. From these results, we have obtained the cation distributions of the samples and concluded that the increasing x leads to the decrease of covalency of $Fe^{3+}-O^{2-}$ bond in A-sites and A-B superexchange interactions.eractions.
