The interactions of 11 kinds of primary and secondary alkylammonium ions with cyclic (12C4, 15C5, 18C6, DT18C6 and DA18C6) and acyclic$(Q_2O_5)$ polyethers were investigated by NMR titration and conductometry. All of the alkylammonium ions under investigation form the relatively stable 1 : 1 complexes with crown ethers and acyclic polyether by H-bond. The interactions of alkylammonium ions with analogeous hosts having different size were in the order of 18C6 > 15C5 > 12C4, and the strengthes of donor atoms toward the alkylammonium ions were in the order of N > O > S. 18C6 forms more favorable interactions with primary alkylammonium ions than secondary alkylammonium ions, otherwise DA18C6 shows the opposite behaviors. The stability constants for complexations of 18C6 with the alkylammonium ions were determined conductometrically in methanol at 25$^{\circ}C$. The major factors affecting the stability of complexes were the type of alkylammonium ions, the length of alkyl-chain and the steric hindrance due to the structure of alkyl groups on complexation.

We developed a procedure that can effectively separate and determine tertiary amines and quaternary ammonium salts in some samples with reverse phase ion-pair high performance chromatography, employing indirect spectrophotometric detection method. Detection and ion-pairing reagents used in this study were benzyl trimethylammonium chloride (BTMACl) and sodium dodecyl sulfate(DDSANa), respectively. Eluting the electrolyte solutions of some commercial electrolytic capacitors with a MeOH(40):water(60) eluent (pH 8.5 adjusted with NH4Cl-NH3 buffer) containing 0.010M DDSANa and 0.004 M BTMACl through Supelco LC-18 or ${\mu}$-Bondapak phenyl column, amines and ammonium salts contained in the sample were successfully separated and determined. Varying the composition, especially the content of quaternary ammonium salts, of electrolyte solutions based on this analysis. we could prepare the low impedance(0.08~0.13) electrolytic capacitors with excellent electrical properties and it was a confirmation that the analysis is favorable.

The aim of this study was to investigate the change of microbial contamination levels in the different areas and at the different time points after application of a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) that has mechanical antimicrobial effect. The microbial contamination levels were measured in three different areas; unit chair handle, spit sink area and hand piece holder at different time points using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) monitoring system and ATP surface test kit. Hand piece holder showed the highest level of microbial contamination. In most of the clinics, QAC significantly reduced the levels of microbial contamination, and maintained antimicrobial activity for 4 to 6 months. QAC may be used effectively in dental clinics due to the duration of antimicrobial effect and the minimal exposure of chemicals and further studies are needed with large sample size.

Quaternary ammonium salt terminated silane was prepared from aminopropyldimethylethoxysilane with methyliodide and ionized 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane $(Li^+TCNQ^-)$ was prepared from TCNQ with methyliodide and lithium iodide. Quaternary ammonium salt silane-TCNQ adduct (ST) was prepared by reacting quaternary ammonium salt terminated silane with $Li^+TCNQ^-$ solution. Poly (dimethylsiloxane)-ST adduct (PST) was prepared by condensation of $\alpha,\omega-hydroxyl$ group terminated poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) with ST. Maleated polyethylene modified with PDMS (PST-g-MPE) was prepared by melt polymerization of maleated PE and PST in internal mixer and PST-g-MPE/carbon black (CB) and MPE/CB composites were prepared by compounding PST with MPE and PST-g-MPE, respectively. The thermal and mechanical properties of the composites were measured and dispersion characteristics of CB in matrix rosins show that the dispersion of CB in PST-g-MPE/CB was better than that of MPE/CB composite.

In order to utilize incineration fly ash of industrial wastes as resources, we present the recovery and separation of metals included in the fly ash by leaching with aqueous solution A great quantity of Cu, Pb, and Zn as well as a small amount oftoxic heavy metals are contained in the leach liquor of the fly ash, and the concentration of the ingredients of the fly ash depends on the industrial wastes which are fed into incinerators. In this paper, sequential Ieachiog operations are conducted using $H_2O$, $H_2SO_4$, $(NH_4)_2CO_3$ and NaOH as Icachants. Water soluble copper salt was leached by $H_2O$, Zn and Pb were separated by the NaOH leach liquor, and water insoluble copper was selectively leached as chelate ion with the $(NH_4)_2CO_3$ leach liquor of the third Ieaehant. Results show that the reduction percent of the fly ash in the leaching steps using $H_2O$, $H_2SO_4$, and $(NH_4)_2CO_3$ is 77%, and the other leaching procedures lose the weight of fly ash by above 60%.

Chitosan is the deacetylation product of chitin. Chitosan was converted to N-alkyl chitosan derivatives using proper aldehyde having different alkyl chains, then chitosan derivatives with quaternary ammonium salt were producted by quaternization with methyl iodide. Their antibacterial activities aganst S. aureus(ATCC 6538P) and E. coli (ATCC 14339), gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria, respectively, as introduced alkyl length were evaluated by shake flask method using colony count. The antibacteiral activity was found to be increased as alkyl chains. hydrophobic goups. These antibacterial agents were more active against S. aureus than E. coli. It may be due to the different of structure of cytoplasmic membrane.

This study is related to the investigation of the direct incorporation of $CO_2$ to polymer using quaternary ammonium salt catalysts. Quaternary ammonium salts showed good catalytic activity of $CO_2$ fixation in the synthesis of poly[(1,3-dioxolane-2-oxo-4-yl)methyl methacrylate] [poly(DOMA)] by the direct incorporation of $CO_2$ to poly(glycidyl methacrylate)[poly(GMA)]. Among the salts tested, the ones with higher alkyl chain length and with more nucleophilic counter anion showed higher catalytic activity. The yield of carbon dioxide addition increased with the reaction temperature. Kinetic study was carried out by measuring the variation of $CO_2$, pressure in a high pressure batch reactor. The reaction rate was first order to the concentration of poly(GMA) and $CO_2$, respectively. The rate constant was $0.69L/mol{\cdot}h$ and Henry's constant of $CO_2$ in DMSO at $80^{\circ}C$ was $6.8{\times}10^{-4}mol/L{\cdot}KPa$.

Consumption of nickel is continuously increasing and the wastes of secondary battery, ferrite and catalyst containing Ni are also generated periodically. Among those wastes, the aim of this research is the recovery of nickel from used Ni-Cd recharge battery. Battery consisted of Ni 24 wt%, Fe 30 wt% and Cd 18.5 wt%. Metal was recovered by solvent extraction after leaching. Cadmium was leached completely in 1N-HCl and Ni was recovered above 70%. 30 vol% MSP-8 separated Cd and Ni completely from acidic leaching solution. In addition $NH_4NO_3$ as one of ammonium salt type leachants showed an excellent leaching selectivity to Ni and Cd. Ni in leached solution was recovered completely by LIX-extractant and more than 70% of Cd in raffinate was by D2EHPA.

Berthlot's reaction spectrophotometric method is generally used for the analysis of dissolved ammonium in seawater, but in recent years, a fluorescence method using an orthophthaldialdehyde-sulfite (OPA) fluorescent reagent is actively used internationally. In this study, we investigated the effects of the detection limit between the analysis methods, the reagent refractive index inherent in the spectrophotometric method, and the use of different calibration curves to understand the cause of the difference in dissolved ammonium concentration (about 0.31 𝜇M) observed in the seawater samples and a nutrient reference material between two institutions (KIOST (spectrophotometric method, one-order linear regression gradient only), Australia CSIRO (fluorescence method, quadratic formula)) conducted onboard the Australian R/V Investigator in 2017. The method detection limit (0.063 𝜇M) and the reagent refractive index background value (0.054 𝜇M) of the spectrophotometric method measured in this study could explain the difference in dissolved ammonium concentration values of the two institutes about 20% and 17%, respectively. However, when the concentration of the calibration curve of the spectrophotometric method was calculated using the same quadratic as the fluorescence method or the slope and intercept of linear regression, the difference in the dissolved ammonium concentration between the two institutions was reduced to less than the detection limit of the spectrophotometric method. Therefore, the difference in the concentration of dissolved ammonium between the two institutions, found in the nutrient reference materials and the seawater field sample during the international onboard nutrient inter-comparison experiment, may be attributed to be the effect of the different calibration curves used in the two methods rather than the effect of the difference in two analytical methods. When comparing the dissolved ammonium data from seawater samples in the future, it is recommended to pay attention to the information on the baseline, number of standard solutions, and calibration curve used in the analysis.
