Natural red colorants were extracted from Phytolacca americana Linne by using 50% ethanol solution at room temperature for 12 hours. The colorant components were partially purified as yellow and deep red colorants by thin layer chromatography. Natural red colorants were consisted of major water-soluble red colorant, having maximum absorbance at 538nm and alcohol-soluble yellow colorant, having maximum absorbance at 664nm. Concentration of red colorants were calibrated by the equation of dye(mg/ml) $A_{538nm}\times{1.284}$. Red colorants were changed to yellow at extreme alkali pH and repaired 55% color intensity by neutralization of pH and stabled below $55^\circ{C}$. Dyeability of red colorants against wool fabrics was mainly operated by red pigment having 538nm absorbance without big color differences. Below $55^\circ{C}$, color differences $(\Delta{E}^*_{ab})$ were not changed in spite of big difference of chroma$(c^*)$, having higher scores at higher temperature. The effect of mordants were not drastically changed parameters of color difference without copper ion. Citric acid was big changes of color difference$(\Delta{E}^*_{ab})$ in spite of similar chroma$(c^*)$ values. From these experimental results, red colorants from Phytolacca americana Linne is available for wool fabric dyeing.

This study aimed to review the performance stability of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) fiber reinforcing materials among the synthetic fiber types for which the application of performance reinforcing materials to fiber-reinforced concrete is being reviewed by examining short-term and long-term performance changes. To this end, the residual performance was analyzed after exposing the PET fiber to an acid/alkali environment, and the flexural strength and equivalent flexural strength of the PET fiber-reinforced concrete mixture by age were analyzed, and the surface of the PET fiber collected from the concrete specimen was examined using a scanning microscope (SEM). The changes in were analyzed. As a result of the acid/alkali environment exposure test of PET fiber, the strength retention rate was 83.4~96.4% in acidic environment and 42.4~97.9% in alkaline environment. It was confirmed that the strength retention rate of the fiber itself significantly decreased when exposed to high-temperature strong alkali conditions, and the strength retention rate increased in the finished yarn coated with epoxy. In the test results of the flexural strength and equivalent flexural strength of the PET fiber-reinforced concrete mixture, no reduction in flexural strength was found, and the equivalent flexural strength result also did not show any degradation in performance as a fiber reinforcement. Even in the SEM analysis results, no surface damage or cross-sectional change of the PET reinforcing fibers was observed. These results mean that no damage or cross-section reduction of PET reinforcing fibers occurs in cement concrete environments even when fiber-reinforced concrete is exposed to high temperatures in the early stage or depending on age, and the strength of PET fibers decreases in cement concrete environments. The impact is judged to be of no concern. As the flexural strength and equivalent flexural strength according to age were also stably expressed, it could be seen that performance degradation due to hydrolysis, which is a concern due to the use of PET fiber reinforcing materials, did not occur, and it was confirmed that stable residual strength retention characteristics were exhibited.

The flue gas desulfurization (FGD) process is one of the most effective methods to reduce the amount of $SO_2$ gas (up to 90%) generated by the use of fossil fuel. Limestone is usually used as a desulfurizing agent in the wet-type FGD process; however, the limestone reserves of domestic mines have become exhausted. In this study, limestone sludge produced from the steel works process is used as a desulfurizing agent. Seven different types of additives are also used to improve the efficiency of the desulfurization process. As a result, alkaline additive is identified as the least effective additive, while certain types of organic acids show higher efficiency. It is also observed that the amount of FGD gypsum, which is a by-product of the FGD process, increases with the used of some of those additives.

THF-based crown-4 of 16-membered rings having tetrahydrofuran unit was synthesized by an acid-catalyzed condensation of furan and acetone followed by hydrogenation in an effort to obtain highly elective ionophores for lithium ions. The new ionophore was compared with previously reported ionophores under similar measurement conditions with the same plasticizer, tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate in poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC) membrane electrodes. Separate solution method was used to determine relative selectivity coefficients for the electrode. The selectivity coefficients($K_{LiM}^{POT}$) of lithium over ammonium, alkali and alkaline earth metal ions go from about $2.4{\times}10^{-1}$ to $2.3{\times}10^{-4}$ to working range and pH dependence have also been studied.

Proteolytic enzymes produced by filamentous fungi can degrade various fibrous and globular proteins along with other metabolites that may also find application in biotechnology. In this study, the effect of proteolytic enzymes of 22 Aspergillus strains on various proteins was investigated using protein-containing diagnostic media. Subsequently, a new parameter estimating secreted proteinases specificity towards fibrous or globular proteins without its advanced biochemical research - index of severity of proteolytic action (ISPA) - was suggested. This index determines mycozymes specificity in following manner: its value increases with greater affinity to fibrous proteins, decreases if there is higher affinity to globular proteins. ISPA value was the lowest (0.52) for Aspergillus domesticus, indicating the highest specificity to globular proteins, the highest one (1.26) for A. glaucus, whose proteinases best hydrolyzed fibrous proteins. However, the highest overall proteolytic potential was observed for Aspergillus melleus. The ability to produce acid, alkali and extracellular pigments was evaluated for all isolated strains as well.
