A two parameter model of a single fictitious weak acid with unknown dissociation constant has been successfully applied to design a neutralization system for many multi-component acid streams. But there are some processes for which above two parameter model is not satisfactory due to poor approxmation of the nonlinearity of pH process. Here, for etter control of wide class of multi-component acid streams, a three parameter model of a strong acid and a weak acid with unknown dissociation constant is proposed. The model approximates effectively three types of largest gain variation nonlinearities. Based on this model a nonlinear pH control system is designed. Parameters can eeasily estimated since their combinations appear linearly in the model equations and nonlinear adaptive control system may also be constructed just as with the two parameter model.

The glass electrode was empirically calibrated in methanol-and 2-propanol-water mixed solvents, by means of which the pH-meter reading could be converted to stoichiometric hydrogen ion concentration. The thermodynamic dissociation constants of hydrogen cupferrate in methanol-and 2-propanol-water solution were potentiometrically determined with the changes in composition of organic solvents at 0.01 and 0.05 of the ionic strength and 25$^{\circ}C$. The empirical formula of the constants with mole fraction (n) of the organic solvent are as follow: methanol-water solution $pK_a$= 2.24n + 4.29 at ${\mu}$ = 0.01 n = 0.0476∼0.642 $pK_a$ = 2.35n + 4.38 at ${\mu}$ = 0.05 n= 0.0446~0.642 2-propanol-water solution $pK_a$= 5.50n + 4.48 at ${\mu}$ = 0.05 n = 0.0253~0.259 The relationships between $pK_a$ of acetic acid, propionic acid and HCup and dielectric constant of some mixed solvents were discussed. It would be considered that the factors effecting $pK_a$ value of weak acid in mixed-solvent are not only dielectric constants but acid-base character and solvation effect of the solvent, etc.

The protonation parameters, dissociation constants ($pK_{BH^+}$) of conjugate acid, slope values (m, ${\phi}$ and $m^*$) and correlation coefficients (r) of hydroxamic acids were determined by Hammett acidity function method, Bunnett-Olsen method and excess acidity method in hydrochloric and perchloric acid solutions. Effect of acid concentration on partition and percentage protonation was also studied. $pK_{BH^+}$ values show that hydroxamic acids do not behave as Hammett bases, but hydroxamic acids behave as weak bases in strong acidic solutions. The values of $pK_{BH^+}$ obtained through Bunnett-Olsen method and excess acidity method were compared with the Hammett acidity function. ChemAxon's MarvinSketch 6.1.5 software was also used for determining $pK_a$, pI and microspecies distribution (%) of hydroxamic acids with pH. Hydrogen donor and acceptor values and logD were also obtained. The results show that N-p-chlorophenyl-4-bromobenzohydroxamic acid has the highest $pK_a$ and lowest logD values. On the contrary, N-phenyl-3,5-dinitrobenzohydroxamic acid has lowest the $pK_a$ and highest logD values.

Physical properties of water, such as dielectric constant and ionic product, significantly vary with the density of water. In the supercritical conditions, since density of water widely varies with pressure, pressure has a strong influence on physical properties of water. Dielectric constant represents a character of water as a solvent, which determines solubility of an inorganic compound including metal oxides. Dissociation equilibrium of an acid is also strongly dependent on water density. Dissociation constant of acid rises with increased density of water, resulting in drop of pH. Density of water and the density-related physical properties of water, therefore, are the major governing factors of corrosion and environmentally assisted cracking of metals in supercritical aqueous solutions. This paper discusses importance of "physical properties of water" in understanding corrosion and cracking behavior of alloys in supercritical water environments, based on experimental data and estimated solubility of metal oxides. It has been pointed out that the water density can have significant effects on stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of metals in supercritical water, when dissolution of metal plays the key role in the cracking phenomena.

빠른 시간내에 적은 시료로(mg 단위) FIA와 Diode Array Spectrophotometry를 이용하여 해리상수를 구할 수 있는 방법을 개발하는 데 실험의 비중을 두었고, 그 대상으로 Bromo Cresol Green을 사용하였다. 소량의 산 염기를 가할 때 제일 sensitive한 발색반응을 보이는 지시약의 pK는 7.0임이 컴퓨터에 의해 계산되었다. Spectrophotometry를 이용한 Bromothylmol Blue와 Bromocresol Green은 Kielland 방법에 의한 Activity를 보정해 준 후 pKa가 각각 7.31과 4.82를 얻었다(Reported value by Bishop 7.30, 4.79). FIA에 의한 Bromocresol Green의 pKa값은 4.78을 얻어 다른 방법과 유사함을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of using the buffer index curve as a criterion of silage quality evaluation. The buffer index (or buffer capacity, $\beta$) value is the amount of 0.1N NaOH consumed in titrating from the beginning to the end of the chosen pH step. This value equals the slope of the titration curve at the chosen pH range (${\beta}={\Delta}NaOH/{\Delta}pH$). There were two patterns of buffer index curve. Poorly preserved silages had a peak at pH 5.0, whereas with well preserved silages the peaks tended to rise to the pH 3.75 or 4.00. Well preserved, wilted silages with high pH also appeared to have peak values at pH 3.75 or 4.00. There was a high positive correlationship between the concentration of lactic acid and peak value of good quality silage (r = 0.994, p < 0.01). Also a high positive correlationship (r = 0.899, p < 0.001) was found between the sums of concentration of acetic and butyric acids and the peak values of poor quality silages. The results of these experiments verified the value of the buffer index method as a criterion of silage quality evaluation.

25$^{\circ}$C 때 벤조산과 메타 및 파라위치에 할로겐(F, Cl, Br)이 치환된 $pK_a$값을 메탄올-물 혼합용매(0∼80% 메탄올) 중에서 Fuoss-Kraus 식에 근거한 전도도법과 Gelb의 전도도법을 이용하여 결정하였다. 할로겐 치환기에 따른 벤조산의 $pK_a$ 변화를 전자받게 유도효과와 전자주게 공명효과로 복합시킨 치환기 상수(${\sigma}_1$ 및 ${\sigma}_R$)로써 논의하였다. ${\sigma}_1$가 $D^{-1}$에 대하여 양(+)의 기울기를 갖는 직선성을 보인 반면 ${\sigma}_R$은 $D^{-1}$에 대하여 음(-)의 기울기를 갖는 직선성을 보이고 있는데, 이를 field effect의 유전상수 의존성과 할로겐 치환기의 ${\pi}$-고립쌍 전자와 이온화 중심간의 through-space ${\pi}$-상호작용으로 해석하였다.

Hemolymph SHBP (hJHBP) was partially purified from last instar larvae of Bombyx zori by gel filtration and their optimal reaction conditions of dextrin coated charcoal binding assay were determined. Dissociation constant (KD) of hJHBP for JH III was calculated to be 1.45 $\times$ 10-7 M at $4^{\circ}C.$ The molecular weight of hJHBP was estimated to be 30 kDa by gel filtration on a calibrated Sephadex G-100 column and 33 kDa by SDS-PAGE. These results indicate that hSHBP consists of a single polvpeptide chain. Isoelectric point of hJHBP was found to be pH 5.1 and 19 of the first 20 amino acid residues were determined from N-terminus of purified hJHBP.

The interaction of ${\alpha}-ketoglutarate$ dehydrogenase complex (${\alpha}-KGDC$) with a hydrophobic fluorescent probe [1,1'-bi(4-aniline)naphthalene-5,5'-disulfonic acid] (bis-ANS) was studied. The punfied ${\alpha}-KGDC$ was potently inhibited by bis-ANS with an apparent half maximal inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) of 9.8 ${\mu}m$ at pH 8.0. The catalytic activities of both the E1o and E2o subunits were predominantly inhibited while that of the E3 component was hardly affected. The binding of bis-ANS to the enzyme caused a marked enhancement and blue shift from 523 nm to 482 nm in the fluorescence emission spectrum. The dissociation constant ($K_d$) and the number of binding sites (n) were calculated to be 0.87 mM and 158, respectively. Allosteric regulators such as purine nucleotides and divalent cations further increased the fluorescence intensity of the $bis-ANS-{\alpha}-KGDC$ binary complex. These data suggest that the binding of these allosteric regulators to ${\alpha}-KGDC$ may cause the conformational changes in the enzyme and that bis-ANS could be used as a valuable probe to study the interaction of the multi-enzyme complex and its allosteric regulators.
