The electrochemical reduction of (2,4-difluoro-phenyl)-(2-phenyl-1H-quinolin-4-ylidene)-amine was investigated in 0.1 M tetrabutylammoniumbromide in N,N-dimethylformamide at glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using the technique of cyclic voltammetry at the room temperature (290 K). The reduction of imines occurs in two successive steps, involving one electron in each. In this medium the first peak was observed at about -0.793 V (vs Ag/$Ag^+$) at the glassy carbon electrode surface, which is more stable and well defined as compared to the second peak. The diffusion coefficient ($D_0$) of imine in the investigated solvent media has been calculated using the modified Randles-Sevcik equation. The electron transfer coefficient ($\alpha$) of the reactant species has also been calculated.

The solvolysis rate constants of di-n-butyl phosphorochloridate ((CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂O)₂POCI, 1) in 28 different solvents are well correlated with the extended Grunwald-Winstein equation, using the N_T solvent nucleophilicity scale and Y_Cl solvent ionizing scale, with the sensitivities values of 1.40 and 0.42 for l and m, respectively. These l and m values can be considered to support an S_N2 reaction pathway. This interpretation is further supported by the activation parameters, i.e., relatively small positive ΔH^≠ (8.0 to 15.9 kcal·mol⁻¹ ) values and large negative ΔS^≠ (−25.8 to −53.1 cal·mol⁻¹ ·K⁻¹ ) values, the Kivinen’s n values (0.9~1.7), and the solvent kinetic isotope effect (1.62).

The linear combination of bond orbitals method is used to investigate the reactivity of halomethanes in abstraction reactions by atoms. The activation energy is evaluated on the assumption that, in an activated complex, two electrons in a bond to be broken become completely isolated from the rest of the ${\sigma}$-electron systems. Such a model leads to an intuitively attractive concept that the interactions between the reactive bond and the neighboring bonds govern the reactivity of ${\sigma}$-electron systems. The resulting equation for the activation energy, ${\varepsilon},\;is:\;{\narepsilon}= ${\varepsilon}={\zeta}+$$${\sum}_{i=1}^3$${\eta}c-I,$ c-4 Here, subscript C-4 indicates the bond to be broken, while C-i represents the other three bonds surrounding the reactive bond; ξ is the activation energy of a hypothetical reaction of an isolated C-4 bond and an attacking atom; and ${\eta}$C-i,C-4 stems from the stabilizing interacting of C-4 bond with neighboring C-i bonds. A choie of η′s consistent with bond strength data simplifies the above equation to a form ${\varepsilon}={\zeta}\;+\;N{\eta}c$-H, C-4 where N denotes the number of C-H plus C-F bond in halomethanes. In agreement with this equation, experimental -values increase linearly with increasing N.

Biomass and coal are great potential energy sources for gasification process. These solids can be gasified to produce syngas and bio-oil which can be upgraded further to transportation fuel. Two biomass and three coals have been gasified with steam in a thermobalance reactor under atmospheric pressure in order to evaluate their kinetic rate information The effects of gasification temperature ($600{\sim}850^{\circ}C$) and partial pressure of steam (30~90 kPa) on the gasification rate have been investigated. The three different types of gas-solids reaction models have been applied to the experimental data to compare their predictions of reaction behavior. The modified volumetric reaction model predicts the conversion data well, thus that model was used to evaluate kinetic parameters in this study. The gasification reactivity of five solids has been compared. The obtained activation energy of coal and biomass gasification were well in the reasonable range. The expression of apparent reaction rates for steam gasification of five solids have been proposed as basic information for the design of coal gasification processes.

The adsorption of methyl green dye using an activated carbon from an aqueous solution was investigated. Adsorption experiments were carried out as a function of the adsorbent dose, initial concentration, contact time and temperature. The Langmuir isotherm model showed a good fit to the equilibrium adsorption data. Based on the estimated Langmuir separation factor, ($R_L=0.02{\sim}0.106$), this process could be employed as the effective treatment (0 < $R_L$ < 1). It was found that the adsorption was a physical process with the adsorption energy (E) value range between 316.869 and 340.049 J/mol obtained using Dubinin-Radushkevich equation. The isothermal saturation capacity obtained from brunauer emmett teller (BET) model increased with increasing the temperature. The kinetics of adsorption followed a pseudo second order model. The free energy and enthalphy values of -5.421~-7.889 and 31.915 kJ/mol, respectively indicated that the adsorption process follows spontaneous endothermic reaction. The isosteric heat of adsorption increased with the increase of equilibrium adsorption amounts, and the total interaction of the adsorbent - adsorbate increased as the surface coverage increased.

The equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction is related to the standard Gibbs free energy change. Since equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of the activities of the chemical species, it is necessary to consider the non-ideal behavior of the solutes as ionic strength of the solution increases. In this paper, the derivation of Debye-$H{\ddot{u}}ckel$ limiting law and its modification by which the activity coefficient of an ion can be calculated was explained. Moreover, the method to obtain the activity coefficient of an ion from the experimentally determined mean activity coefficients of an electrolyte was explained.

A hydrothermal process was used to synthesize dioctahedral smectite from dickite [$A1_2$$Si_2$$O_{5}$ $(OH)_4$], Dickite was previously activated by heating at $800^{\circ}C$ far 4 hours with $Na_2$$CO_3$. After the heat-treatment, $SiO_2$ was added for stoichiometry, The autoclaving was carried out in closed stainless steel vessel (about 1 liter) at the condition of various temperature, pressure, time etc. High quality smectite could be obtaind by heating at $290^{\circ}C$ under the pressure of 60 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for 48 hours. This experiment reveals that pH of the solution was an important factor and should be maintained at 10 to 11 for the formation of dioctahedral smectite. The synthesized smectite was identified as Na-beidellite by the treatment of ethylene glycol and Greene-Kelly test.

유사는 오염물질을 저장 또는 운반하는 매개체로 하류 수체의 물리적, 화학적, 생물학적 과정에 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서 유사 발생 및 운송 양의 추정은 수질개선을 위한 유역관리계획을 수립하는데 중요한 자료가 된다. 이러한 유사량 및 운송과정은 주로 모형에 의해 계산되고 모의되는데, 많은 유사운송모형들이 유사이송용량 (sediment transport capacity)식을 이용하여 유사 발생량, 이송량 및 퇴적량을 산정한다. 유출에 의한 유사이송용량을 산정하기 위한 기존의 식들은 각기 다른 목적과 환경에서 개발되어 보편적으로 적용할 수 있는 식은 전무한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 유사이송용량을 계산하기 위해 사용되는 식들의 개발 목적과 환경을 검토하고, 경사, 유량, 유사입경 및 토성에 따른 민감도를 조사하여 각 식의 적용성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 적용한 8개의 유사이송용량 산정식은 모두 경사도에 가장 민감하게 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. Abraham과 Yalin식 이외의 산정식을 이용하여 계산된 유사이송용량은 경사도가 0.1 % 보다 작을 때는 0 mg/l, 경사도가 100 % 보다 클 때는 이론최대치인 2,650 mg/l 을 넘는 것으로 나타나, 이들 산정식의 적용 가능한 경사도 범위를 0.1 %-100 %로 추정할 수 있었다. Abrahams식은 유량에, Bagnold식은 유사입경 및 토성에 민감한 것으로 나타났다. Low, Rickenmann, 및 Schoklitsch식은 유량에 민감하게 반응하지 않았고, Low와 Schoklitsch식은 토성에도 민감하지 않은 것으로 나타나, 이들 식의 제한된 적용성을 확인하였다. 한편, Yang식은 계산식에 포함된 로그항으로 인해 그 적용범위가 제한되는 경우가 있었다. Abrahams과 Yalin식을 이용하여 산정된 유사운송용량은 모든 인자들에 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타났으며, Yalin과 Low식의 경우, silt와 clay에 적용되었을 때 유량이 클수록 유사운송용량이 다소 작아지는 경향을 보임에 따라, 전체적으로 Abraham식의 적용성이 가장 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 본 연구결과는 향후 모형을 이용한 유사량 모의 시 적용대상 지역의 특성에 가장 적합한 유사운송용량 산정식을 선정하는데 유용한 정보를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

The rate-constants of the nucleophilic addition reaction of n-butylmercaptan to 3,4-methylenedioxy-${\beta}$-nitrostyrene were determined at various acidic pH and a rate equation which can be applied over wide pH range was obtained. From this equation, one may conclude that this reaction is started by addition of mercaptan molecule below pH 3, while above pH 6, the overall rate of addition is almost only depend upon the concentration of nitrostyrene and the mercaptide ion. At pH 3∼6, the complex mechanism of this addition reaction can also be fully explained by the rate equation.
