Background level of heavy metals In soils (316 points by 15 classifications of land use) was investigated by two test methods, 0.1N HCl(1N HCl for As) extraction and aqua regia extraction methods. The average concentrations of aqua regia extractable heavy metals in soil(n=316) was 6.24(As), 0.25(Cd), 37.99(Cr), 24.10(Cu), 0.04(Hg), 25.68(Pb), 22.59(Ni), 106.11(Zn) mg/kg, respectively. Also the average concentrations of 0.1N HCl extractable heavy metals was 0.06(As), 0.08(Cd), 0.27(Cr), 3.78(Cu), 4.02(Pb), 12.5(Zn), 0.58(Ni) mg/kg, respectively. The ratio of soluble contents and total contents were 2.6%(As), 32.7%(Cd), 0.7%(Cr), 15.7%(Cu), 15.7%(Pb), 2.6%(Ni), 11.8%(Zn), and the correlation coefficient of soluble contents and total contents were 0.26(As), 0.27(Cd), 0.22(Cr), 0.57(Cu), 0.42(Pb), 0.23(Ni), 0.72(Zn).

This study was carried out to select the most effective extractant for Cd analysis in the condition of Korean paddy soil. The various extractants were compared with 0.1 N-HCL common extractant used in Korea. Soil and rice samples were collected at same plot from paddy field adjacent to zinc mining sites. The results ob.tained are as follows. 1. The extractants were able to be arranged in order of higher extractability of cadmium content; 1N-HCL > 0.1N-HCL > 0.075N-Mixture > $1N-NH_4OAC(pH4.8)$ > $DTPA-CaCl_2$ > 5% Acetic acid> $1N-NH_4OAC(pH7.0)$ > $1N-NH_4NO_3$. 2. Although all extractants showed highly significant correlation between Cd content in soil and that in brown rice, $1N-NH_4OAC(pH7.0)$ was considered to be best. 3. The relationship between Cd concentration in soil by extractants and that in brown rice was varied depending on the levels of total Cd content and soil texture. 4. The best extractant under the soil corntions such as total Cd contents and soil texture believed to be $1N-NH_4OAC(pH7.0)$ but Cd concentration extracted in soil was low. 5. The extractant of 0.075N-Mixture was found to be a recommendable one, because it was simillar to 0.1N-HCL in extracting capacity and showed the better correlation between Cd content in soil and brown rice compared to the latter.

Heavy metal contents in commercial horticultural growing media were investigated Fifty-three samples were collected nationwide during 2000 to 2001 and heavy metals in the samples were analyzed by ICP-OES after acid digestion and 0.1N HCl extraction. Average contents of total Cd, Cr, Co, Ni, Pb, and Zn by acid digestion in the growing media were 0.69, 35.7, 14.9, 15.5, 12.7, and 54.8 mg/kg DW, respectively. The ranges of heavy metal in the growing media were $0{\sim}1.82$, $0{\sim}259.8$, $1.6{\sim}69.5$, $0{\sim}60.7$, $0{\sim}36.5$, $12.9{\sim}124.0\;mg/kg$ DW for Cd, Cr, Co, Ni, Pb, and Zn, respectively. Heavy metal contents in the commercial horticultural growing media were showed lower levels than the permitted levels for quality control described by Korean Standard Analytical Method for Growing Media. Average contents and ranges of 0.1 N HCl extractable heavy metals were 0.08 and $0{\sim}0.20$ for Cd, 0.38 and $0{\sim}2.10$ for Cr, 1.45 and $0{\sim}4.03$ for Cu, 0.85 and $0{\sim}3.31$ for Ni, 0.84 and $0{\sim}2.21$ for Pb, and 30.68 and $0.18{\sim}88.45\;mg/kg$ DW for Zn, respectively. These concentrations by 0.1 N HCl extraction showed much less levels than those of total heavy metals by acid digestion.

Thin films of polyaniline (PANI) salts were in situ deposited on a Pt plate during either chemical polymerization or electrochemical polymerization. The oxidation states of the salt films were controlled by the applied DC potential. AC impedance of the Pt/PANI electrode were measured in monomer-free 1 N HCl solution in order to investigate the electrodic properties of the films at the following applied DC potentials: 0, 0.45 and 0.75 V vs. SCE. Very small differences in film conductivity according to its oxidation state were observed by analysis of the impedance spectra, the reasons of which are complicated by enriched water content in the film and possible decrease in the film thickness during the measurements. The electrochemical activity of the film/solution interface varied with its oxidation state. Stability of the film in 1 N HCl solution was also evaluated by impedance and cyclic voltammetry measurements.

The objectives of this study are to investigate soil contamination in the vicinity of abandoned Au-Ag mine and to apply a remediation technique of liming to tailings. In the study area of the Imcheon Au-Ag mine, soils were sampled in and around the mine the analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry extracted by both 0.1N HCl and aqua regia. Elevated levels of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn concentrations extracted by 0.1N HCl were found in soils taken from tailings site. These high contents directly influenced metal concentrations in soils taken in the vicinity of the site. This is mainly due to clastic movement by wind and effluent of mine waste water. In addition, relatively enriched concentrations of the metals were found in soils extrated by aqua regia due to strong decomposition of the samples compared with 0.1N HCl extration. According to the statistical approach, metal concentrations in soils by 0.1N HCl had a positive correlation with those by aqua regia extraction. Mine waste waters and stream waters were also sampled around the mine in spring and summer and analyzed by AAS for Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn, and by Ion Chromatography for anions. Like soils developed over tailings, significant levels of metals and sulphates were found in the mine waste waters ranging of 0.2~0.3, 0.5~2.0, 0.2~2.8, 30~50 and 1,240~4,700 mg/l of Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn and $SO_4^{2-}$, respectively. These elevated levels influenced in the stream waters in the vicinity of the tailings site. In seasonal variation of metal and anion contents, relatively high levels were found in waters sampled on summer due to leaching the metals and anions from tailings by rain. This study also examined the possibility of lime treatment for remediation of acid mine tailings and assumed to be 46 tones of pulverized lime for neutralization of the tailings.

Freeze dried antler, heat dried antler, antler were extracted through processing step by water, protease and hydrochloric acid(HCl). Extraction rate of freeze dried antler at 50$^{\circ}C$ by water was 9.01％(8.82, absorbance at 280 nm), that of heat dried antler was 9.01％(4.45, absorbance at 280 nm), and that of antler was 1.10％(0.31, absorbance at 280 nm), respectively. Extraction rate of freeze dried antler by bacterial protease was 16.89％(4.50, absorbance at 280 nm), and that of heat dried antler was 17.29％(5.62, absorbance at 280 nm), and that of antler was 18.22％(0.64, absorbance at 280 nm), respectively. Extraction rate of freeze dried antler by 0.8N HCl was 72.25％(4.60, absorbance at 280 nm), that of heat dried antler was 71.14％(4.70 absorbance at 280 nm), and that of antler was 79.82％ (2.80, absorbance at 280 nm), respectively. Extraction rate of freeze dried antler through three processing steps was 98.15％, that of heat dried antler was 97.35％, that of antler was 99.14％, respectively. The result of analysis by HPLC shows that high molecular pe which appears in young antler and antler extraction was changed into a small molecular peak of about 1,000 by the reaction of protease, and protein of about MW 70,000 was extracted from their remaining residue by 0.8N HCl. The above result shows that water extraction and protease extraction in the freeze dried young antler, protease extraction and HCl extraction in dried young antler, and HCl extraction in antler are most effective.

The objective of this study is to investigate the vertical variation of heavy metals in tailings from the Sangdong W mine. Tailings samples were taken at 6 drilling sites with 50cm intervals up to 21 meters in depth and dried at room temperature. The pH value, loss-on-ignition and water contents were measured. In addition, chemical compositions of the samples were determined by AAS after 0.1 N HCl leaching and ICP-AES after aqua regia leaching. The pH values were in the range of 7.4 to 9.5 due to chemical reactions of carbonate minerals. The ranges of heavy metals (mg/kg) extracted by 0.1N HCl were from 0.17 to 0.93 for Cd, 0.04 to 4.39 for Cu, 0.03 to 10.9 for Pb and 0.06 to 14.1 for Zn and those extracted by aqua regia were $3.10\~10.5,\;23.61\~251,\;63.7\~337\;and\;42.6\~134$ for Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn, respectively. Generally, the metal concentrations in tailings extracted by 0.1N HCl decreased with depth, whilst those extracted by aqua regia have a tendency to increase with depth in some case. Those trends might be due to the change of oxidation-reduction condition of the tailings.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the feasibility of using oyster-shell and eggshell wastes for the stabilization of arsenic-contaminated soil. Artificial As(V) contaminated soil was mixed with 0~5% oyster-shell and eggshell wastes and each sample was incubated for 30 days in a controlled environment. The efficiency of each treatment was evaluated using various single extractants (1 N HCl, 0.1 N NaOH and 0.5 N $H_2SO_4$). The concentration of As(V) was reduced by 10% upon a 5% oyster-shell or eggshell waste treatments based on the Korea Standard Test method (1 N HCl extraction). Analogous trends were observed in the 0.1 N NaOH or 0.5 N $H_2SO_4$ extractions. In addition, the oyster-shell and eggshell waste treatments increased the pH of each soil from 6.54 (Control) to 7.62~7.94. The exchangeable Ca in each soil also sharply increased from 6.87 cmol(+)/kg (Control) to 12.77~20.18 cmol(+)/kg. Further research is needed to increase the effectiveness of the oyster-shell and eggshell waste for the stabilization of As(V) in the contaminated soil.

In order to develop the analytical method for the pharmaceutical tablets containing ranitidine HCl by square wave voltammetry (SWV), $5.00{\times}10^{-5}M$ ranitidine HCl solutions prepared with phosphate buffers of various pH values were investigated by SWV. The well defined main peak due to the electrochemical reduction of $-NO_2$ in the structure of ranitidine moved towards the cathodic direction by -70 mV/pH as the pH values were increased indicating the involvement of hydrogen in its reduction. The calibration curve, the plot of peak currents (Ip) vs. concentrations of ranitidine HCl in the range between $1.00{\times}10^{-7}M$ and $1.00{\times}10^{-5}M$ showed linearity with slopes of $232,530{\mu}A/M$ (pH 6.14), $289,015{\mu}A/M$ (pH 7.07) and $232,843{\mu}A/M$ (pH 8.01). When one pharmaceutical tablet was simply dissolved in the phosphate buffer with a pH value of 6.14 and determined by standard addition method using SWV, the within-day precision study (n=4) resulted in the contents of ranitidine HCl as $171{\pm}2.1mg$ ($102{\pm}1.3%$ of the specified contents, RSD of 1.2%) in a tablet of Curan$^{(R)}$. The inter-day precision for 5 days was 1.1% of RSD. For Zantac$^{(R)}$ the within-day precision study (n=4) showed the contents of ranitidine HCl as $167{\pm}0.8mg$ ($99{\pm}0.5%$ of the specified contents, RSD of 0.5%) in a tablet and the inter-day precision for 5 days was 0.3% of RSD.

The following new techniques have been developed: (A); To a 500ml of sample water, it was adjusted pH 10 with ammonia-anmonium citrate, added 10ml of 1${\%}$ sodium diethyldithiocarbamate and extracted three times with 10ml of CHCl3. The extract was shaken with 10ml of 0.05N $HCl-4{\times}10^{-4}M\;HgCl_2$. The aqueous solution was added 2ml of 2N KCl and washed two times with 10ml of pure $CHCl_3$, and then recorded square wave polarograms. (B); To a 500ml of sample water adjusted pH 10 with ammonia-ammonium citrate, it was added 2ml of 1${\%}$ 8-hydroxyquinoline and extracted three times with 10ml $CHCl_3$. The separated $CHCl_3$ phase was shaken with 10ml of 0.2 N HCl. The aqueous solution was recorded polarograms directly. These methods can be used for determination of the ppb order of metal in water with an error of ${\pm}10{\%}$. The method (B) can not be used for the determination of zinc on account of the free 8-hydroxyquinoline.
