수지충전식 전해재생조내에서 바나듐-철-Picolinate 착화물이 함유된 모의 LOMI 제염폐액의 재생거동에 대한 공정변수의 영향을 조사하였다. 전기투석에 의해 양이온종이 제염 폐액으로부터 제거되는 재생 분리효율에 대한 전류밀도, 제염폐액 공급유량 및 재생조내 수지층두께 등 공정변수의 영향은 바나듐이온이 가장 크게 받는다. 공정변수의 영향을 총괄 파라미터인 공정변수비 $\alpha$로 정의하여 나타낼 때 재생 분리효율 95%이상을 얻기 위해서는 $\alpha$가 0.2 이하로 유지되어야 한다. LOMI 제염폐액의 재생시 전기투석 flux는 공정변수비, $\alpha$값이 증가함에 따라 철이온이 바나듐이온에 비해 더욱 커지는 경향을 보였다. 재생종료 후 발생되는 음극폐액내 철 및 코발트 등 방사성이온종은 음극액의 초기 수소이온 농도를 조절하면 침전제의 첨가 얼이 음극반응에 의해 음극액의 pH를 산성에서 알카리성으로 바꿀 수 있어, 수산화물 형태의 침전물 입자로 만들어 쉽게 제거할 수 있다. 재생시 바나듐이온은 대부분 $V^{III}$(Pic)$_2$$^{+}$ 착화물형태로 전기투석된다. 음극액으로 formate용액을 사용하면 철 및 코발트 등 방사성이온종을 제거한 음극액은 농축된 LOMI제염제로 회수하여 필요시 산화가를 조정한 후 재생된 착화제와 혼합하여 제염제로 재사용할 수 있어, 더욱 효과적으로 제염폐액을 재생하는 향상된 재생방법이다.다.

The free radical polymerization and copolymerization of N-acetyl ${\alpha}$-aminoacrylic acid were investigated. From the result of kinetic investigation of N-acetyl ${\alpha}$-aminoacrylic acid in DMF at $60^{\circ}C$, a rate equation of $R_p$ = $k_p[M]^{0.97}[I]^{0.59}$ was obtained. The overall activation energy for the polymerization was found to be 25.2 kcal/mole. Copolymerization of N-acetyl ${\alpha}$-aminoacrylic acid with acrylic acid and styrene was carried out for the determination of monomer reactivity ratios. The monomer reactivity ratios for the monomer pairs determined at 70.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$ using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator are; $r_1$(N-acetyl ${\alpha}$-aminoacrylic acid) = 0.49, $r_2$(acrylic acid) = 1.41, $r_1$(N-acetyl ${\alpha}$-aminoacrylic acid) = 0.44, $r_2$(styrene) = 0.91. The values of Alfrey-Price's Q and e parameters for N-acetyl ${\alpha}$-aminoacrylic acid were calculated to be 0.51 and 0.16 for the both systems. Differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry showed that acrylic acid copolymers have poorer thermal stability as compared with the homopolymer of N-acetyl ${\alpha}$-aminoacrylic acid.

The ligand, 2,10-dibenzyl-4,6,8-trioxo-3,9-diaza undecane dioic acid(DTDA) for the extraction of uranium was synthesized under dry nitrogen from phenylalanine and 3-oxoglutaric acid. Extraction was performed by stirring a solution of DTDA in dichloromethane for 1 hour with an aqueous solution of $UO_2(ClO_4)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$ at various pH values and at different $DTDA/UO_2{^{2+}}$ molar ratios. Extraction efficiency reaches a maximum when the pH of the aqueous phase was ca 8.0. The extraction percentage was affected by concentration of DTDA and increases with the $DTDA/UO_2{^{2+}}$ molar ratio to complete extraction with a 4 fold excess of DTDA. The high selectivity of the DTDA for uranium was ascertained by competition experiments with other cations. The bound uranyl ion was quantitatively liberated within few minutes from the organic phase by treatment with an aqueous 1M HCI solution and DTDA was recovered very satisfactorily from the organic phase. The values of the over-all formation constants of the complex between uranyl ion and DTDA were determined to be the following : ${\beta}_1=1.20{\times}10^5\;,\;{\beta}_2=1.01{\times}10^8$.

In this study, the students' responses on the items of chemistry II in the College Scholastics Ability Test (CSAT) implemented for the past 3 years since 1999 was investigated. The number of applicants and mean score of chemistry II, average percent correct by contents and inquiry process, and the items with high and/or low percent correct are analysed and discussed. The percentage of applicants for natural science track is reduced each year. However, more than 25% of natural science track applied to chemistry II, which ranked second to biology II. The mean score of chemistry II was increased in 2001 along with those of other subjects. There is no difference in average percent correct either by contents or inquiry process. Students performed generally poor at solving test items relating to 'colligative properties of solution' such as 'boiling point elevation' or 'osmotic pressure', and very well at solving test items relating to 'reaction rates'. Educational implications are discussed.

Liquid-liquid extractions by use of hollow fiber membrane module are fast because of the large surface area per volume. In these membranes, the extractant and feed can be contacted at high speed and two flows are completely independent, so there are no problems with loading and channeling. In this paper, it was investigated the selectivities of extractants for extraction of heavy metals from aqueous solution into organic extractants by using the hollow fiber membrane. To identify the effect of distribution ratio on mass transfer in the membrane, we also compared the distribution ratio with mass transfer coefficient. From these experiments for the system with high distribution ratio, effect of the distribution ratio on mass transfer was weak compare with the low distribution ratio system in the hollow fiber membrane.

Novel membrane technologies that harness ordered nanostructures have recently received much attention because they allow for high permeability due to their reduced flow resistance while also maintaining high selectivity due to their isoporous characteristics. In particular, the opaline structure (made from the self-assembly of colloidal particles) and its inverted form (inverse-opal) have shown strong potential for membrane applications on account of several advantages in processing and the resulting membrane properties. These include controllability over the pore size and surface functional moieties, which enable a wide range of applications ranging from size-exclusive separation to catalytically-reactive membranes. Furthermore, when combined with multiscale architecturing strategies, inverse-opal-structured membranes can be designed to have specific pores or channel structures. These materials are anticipated to be utilized for next-generation, high-performance, and high-value-added functional membranes. In this review article, various types of inverse-opal-structured membranes are reviewed and their functionalization through hierarchical structuring will be comprehensively investigated and discussed.

A mathematical model was proposed to predict the predominant reactions and transport pathways of anthracene in a conventional activated sludge wastewater treatment system. The model consists of five differential equations with seven kinetic parameters and eighteen input variables. Volatilization, biodegradation, adsorption/desorption as well as the convective inputs and outputs are included in the model. The steady state calculations showed that volatilization (61%) in aeration tank and the withdrawal of primary sludge (33%) were two major pathways for removal of anthracene from the system. The overall removal was about 97%. The system reached a practical steady state at about 160 hours via dynamic modeling. The proposed model can give plausible predictions of the fate of priority organic pollutants in activated sludge processes.

$\beta$-ketohexanal as a chelating extractant was synthesized from the reaction of ethyl formate and methyl propyl ketone in the presence of sodium amide, and the equilibrium characteristics in the extraction of copper by $\beta$-ketohexanal-chloroform were investigated. The equilibrium constants such as the dissociation constant and the partition coefficients of $\beta$-ketohexanal, the stability constant and the partition coefficient of copper chelating complex, and the overall equilibrium constant in the extraction of copper were determined by spectrophotometric measurements, and the mechanism of extraction was proposed. The percent of extracted copper by $\beta$-ketohexanal-chloroform was near 100%, and the selective extraction of copper from Cu-Zn-Cd mixture was possible. Copper was found to be extracted as $CuR_2$ and the equilibrium reaction was expressed as $Cu^{2+}+2{\overline{HR}}{\rightleftarrows}{\overline{CuR{_2}}}+2H^+$.

Water balance is the major factor in forest ecosystem, and is closely related to the vegetation and topographic characteristics within a watershed. The hydrologic response of a forest watershed was investigated with the hydrological model. The deterministic, lumped parameter model (BROOK90) was selected and used to evaluate the applicability of the model for simulating daily runoff on the steep, forested watershed. The model was calibrated and validated against the streamflow data measured at the Bukmoongol watershed. The deviation in runoff volume $(D_v)$ was -1.7% for the calibration period, and the $D_v$ value for the validation period was 4.6%. The correlation coefficient (r) and model efficiency (E) on monthly basis were 0.922,0.847, respectively, for the calibration period, while the r- and E-value for the validation period were 0.941, 0.871, respectively. Overall, the simulated streamflows were close to the observations with respect to total runoff volume, seasonal runoff volume, and baseflow index for the simulation period. BROOK90 model was able to reproduce the trend of runoff with higher correlation during the simulation period.

To evaluate characteristics in spray flame, laminar counterflow is investigated on the effects of equivalence ratio and fuel by a two-dimensional DNS (direct numerical simulation). For the gaseous phase, Eulerian mass, momentum, energy, and species conservation equations are solved. For the disperse phase, all individual droplets are calculated by the Lagrangian method without the parcel model. n-Decane ($C_{10}H_{22}$) and n-heptane ($C_7H_{16}$) is used as a liquid spray fuel, and a one-step global reaction is employed for the combustion reaction model. As equivalence ratio increases, the fuel ignites early and the high temperature region spreads wider. The peak value of temperature, however, tends to once increase and then decreases with increasing equivalence ratio. The decrease in the peak value of temperature for the higher equivalence ratio condition is caused by the cooling effect associated with droplet group combustion. Since the evaporation of n-heptane is early, the high temperature region spreads wider than ndecane, but the peak values of temperature for both n-heptane and n-decane is almost same.
