On the basis of 200 ppm of Ag and 120 l/h of feed flow rate, we built a pilot plant of an ion exchange fiber system having an double tube type ion exchange chamber with strong base ion exchange fiber (FIVAN A-6) which was designed to replace fibers easily and to eliminate the need for a fixture. The following results were obtained for the double tube type of ion exchange fiber system with an ion exchange capacity of 4.6 meq/g for Ag. The adsorption process was operated in the range of 40~90 l/h after confirming the effect of the flow rate and, pH did not affect formation of complex ion of Ag in the range of pH 7~12. In the case of backwash process, the recovery rate of Ag was tested in the range of 60~120 l/h and comparative experiments were carried out using NaOH, $NH_4Cl$, and NaCl as the chemicals for backwash. Although the desorption time was shortened at higher concentration, the desorption efficiency per mol was lowered. Therefore, it was confirmed that the desorption time and the concentration should be well balanced to operate economically. The desorption pattern of the backwash process is slower than the adsorption process and takes a lot of time. The results showed that the Ag adsorption ratio was 99.5% or more and the Ag recovery ratio was 96% or more, and commercialization was possible.

The behavior of optical properties of ion exchanged glasses was investigated inthis study. The used glasses were soda-lime-silica glasses that were produced by float process. The coloring effect by Ag colloids is measrued by spectral transmittance, color coordinates, dominant wavelength and excitation purity resulting from silver ions exchange of glasses immersed into the mixed molten salt with AgNO3. Ion exchange coloring of glasses made it possible to obtain glasses with a range from yellow to brown, and transmittance was decreased with increasing the amount of Ag colloids which reduced from Ag+ions. Also, obtain from yellow to reddish brown with increasing purity by reheating treatment in air for ion exchanged glasses. The size of Ag colloids are 0.02~0.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with ion exchange conditions.

Carbon paste electrodes, modified with podands containing more than two sulfur atoms, have been employed for the voltammetric determination of Ag(I) ion from aqueous solution. The voltammetric response was characterized with respect to paste composition, preconcentration method, kind of anion, variation of pH, Ag(I) ion concentration, and possible interferences. Linear calibration curves were obtained for Ag(I) ion concentration ranging from $1.0{\times}10^{-6}$ to $9.0{\times}10^{-5}M$, and detection limit was $5.0{\times}10^{-7}M$.

Carbon paste electrodes, modified with 5,6,14,15-dibenzo-1,4-dioxa-8,12-diazacyclopentadeca-5,14-diene containing different ligating atoms of oxygen and nitrogen, have been employed for the voltammetric determination of Ag(I) ion from aqueous solution. The voltammetric response was characterized with respect to paste composition, preconcentration method, kind of anion, variation of pH, Ag(I) ion concentration, and possible interferences. Linear calibration curves were obtained for Ag(I) ion concentration ranging from $3.0{\times}10^{-6}M$ to $8.0{\times}10^{-5}M$, and detection limit was $8.5{\times}10^{-7}M$.

The influences of $LiNO_3\;and\;AgNO_3$ on the N-C(O) rotational barrier of N,N-dimethylacetamide and N,N-dimethylpropionamide have been investigated. The rotational activation free energy $({\Delta}G^{\neq})\;for\;Li^{+}$-amide complexes is found to increase with increasing salt concentration. On the other hand, that for $Ag^+$-amide complexes increases in the presence of $Ag^+$ ion up to 0.25 M ion concentration and then decreases as the concentration of $Ag^+$ ion is further increased. Such an unusual behavior of $Ag^+$-amide complexes has been interpreted in terms of ion-pairing and diluent effect on the amides. However, $^{13}C$ nmr chemical shift data for the amides have shown that both of these ions interact primarily with the carbonyl group in amides.

The structure of partially $Ag^+$-exchanged zeolite 4A, $Ag_{7.6}Na_{4.4}-A$, vacuum dehydrated at $370^{\circ}C$, has been determined by single-crystal x-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group, Pm3m (a = 12.311(1)${\AA}$) at $24(1)^{\circ}}C$. The structure was refined to the final error indices $R_1$ = $R_2$ (weighted) = 0.064 using 266 independent reflections for which $I_0$>$3{\sigma}(I_0)$. Three $Na^+$ ions occupy the 3 8-ring sites, and the remaining ions, 1.4 $Na^+$ and 6.6 $Ag^+$, fill the 8 6-ring sites; each $Ag^+$ ion is nearly in the [111] plane of its 3 O(3) ligands, and each $Na^+$ ion is 0.9${\AA}$ from its corresponding plane, on the large-cavity side. One reduced silver atom per unit cell was found inside the sodalite unit. It was presumably formed from the reduction of a $Ag^+$ ion by an oxide ion of a residual water molecule or of the zeolite framework. It may be present as a hexasilver cluster in 1/6 of the sodalite units, or, most attractively among several alternatives, as an isolated Ag atom coordinated to 4 Ag ions in each sodalite unit to give $(Ag_5)^{4+}$, symmetry 4mm.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) analysis of nonpolar polymeric materials is affected by the sample preparation as well as the matrix and cationizing agent. This study examined the influence of silver salt types on the MALDI analysis of polybutadiene (PB). Silver trifluoroacetate (AgTFA), silver benzoate (AgBz), silver nitrate ($AgNO_3$), and silver p-toluenesulfonate (AgTS) were used as the silver salts to compare the MALDI mass spectra of PB. The mixture solution of PB and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB), as a matrix dissolved in THF, was spotted on the sample plate and dried. A droplet of the aqueous silver salt solution was placed onto the mixture. The mass spectrum with AgBz showed the clear $[M+Ag]^+$ ion distribution of PB while the mass spectrum with AgTFA did not show $[M+Ag]^+$ ions but only silver cluster ions. The mass spectra with $AgNO_3$ and AgTS did not show a clear $[M+Ag]^+$ ion distribution. The difference in the formation of $[M+Ag]^+$ ions of PB depending on the silver salts was attributed to the silver cation transfer reaction between the silver salt and the matrix (DHB). The mass spectrum showed a clear $[M+Ag]^+$ ion distribution of PB when the conjugate acid of the silver salt was less acidic than the matrix.

Remarkably high and stable separation performance for olefin/paraffin mixtures was previously reported by facilitated olefin transport through ${\pi}$-complex membranes consisting of silver ions dissolved in poly(hexamethylenevinylene) (PHMV). In this study, the ${\pi}$-complex formation of $AgBF_4,\;AgClO_4\;and\;AgCF_{3}SO_3$ with PHMV and their ionic interactions were investigated. FT-Raman spectroscopy showed that the C=C stretching bands of PHMV shifted to a lower frequency upon incorporation of silver salt, but the degree of peak shift depended on the counter-anions of salt due to different complexation strengths. The symmetric stretching modes of anions indicated the presence of only free ions up to [C=C]:[Ag]=1:1, demonstrating the unusually high solubility of silver salt in PHMV. Above the solubility limit, the ion pairs and higher-order ionic aggregates started to form. The coordination number of silver ion for C=C of PHMV was in the order $AgBF_4$ > $AgClO_4$ > $AgCF_{3}SO_3$, but became similar at [C=C]:[Ag]=1:1. The different coordination number was interpreted in terms of the different transient crosslinks of silver cations in the complex, which may be related to both the interaction strength of the polymer/silver ion and the bulkiness of the counteranion.

The complexation of co-contaminant mixtures between Ag(I) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules (naphthalene, pyrene, and perylene) were investigated to quantify the equilibrium constants of their complexes and elucidate the interactions between Ag(I) and PAH molecules. The apparent solubilities of PAHs in aqueous solutions increased with increasing Ag(I) ion concentration. The values, K$_1$ and K$_2$ of equilibrium constants of complexes of Ag(I)-PAHs, were 2.990 and 0.378, 3.615 and 1.261, and 4.034 and 1.255, for naphthalene, pyrene, and perylene, respectively, The K$_1$and K$_2$ values of PAHs for Ag(I) increased in the order of naphthalene ＜ pyrene ＜ perylene and naphthalene ＜ pyrene ≒ perylene, respectively, indicating that a larger size of PAH molecule is likely to have more a richer concentration of electrons on the plane surfaces which can lead to stronger complexes with the Ag(I) ion. For the species of Ag(I)-PAH complexes, a 1:1 Ag(I) : the aromatic complex, AgAr$\^$＋/, was found to be a predominant species over a 2:1 Ag(I) : aromatic complex, Ag$_2$Ar$\^$＋＋/. The PAH molecules with four or more aromatic rings and/or bay regions were observed to have slightly less affinity with the Ag(I) ion than expected, which might result from inhibiting forces such as the spread of aromatic $\pi$ electrons over o wide molecular surface area and the intermolecular electronic repulsion in bay regions.

New approach for the determination of Ag(I) ion was performed by using a carbon paste electrode (CPE) containing N,N'-Diphenyl oxamide (DPO) with anodic stripping voltammetry. The CMEs have been prepared by making carbon paste mixtures containing an appropriate amount of DPO salt coated onto graphite particles to analyze trace metal ions via complexation followed by stripping voltammetry. Various experimental parameters affecting the response, such as pH, deposition time, temperature, and electrode composition, were carefully optimized. Using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry, the logarithmic linear response range for the Ag(I) ion was 1.0 × $10^{-7}$ - 5.0 × $10^{-9}$ M at the deposition time of 10 min, with the detection limit was 7.0 × $10^{-10}$ M. The detection limit adopted from anodic stripping differential pulse voltammetry was 7.0 × $10^{-10}$ M for silver and the relative standard deviation was ± 3.2% at a 5.0 × $10^{-8}$ M of Ag(I) ion (n = 7). The proposed electrode shows a very good selectivity for Ag(I) in a standard solution containing several metals at optimized conditions.
