The complex formation between diazocalix[4]dipropyl (1) and diazocalix[4]crown-6 ether (2) with alkali, alkaline earth and transition metal ions was investigated by voltammetry. Electrochemical properties of compounds 1 and 2 and their selectivity toward metal ions were evaluated in $CH_3CN$ solution by comparison of voltammetric behaviors of two phenols in each compound. Compounds 1 and 2 showed almost same voltammetric behavior which is two irreversible oxidation peaks caused by intramolecular hydrogen bonding between two phenols in 1 and 2. While, however, upon interacting with various metal ions, 1 with two propyl ether groups showed no significant changes in voltammetry, 2 with crown ether group caused significant voltammetric changes upon the addition of $Ba^{2+}$ to 2. Their behavior is closely related to the complex formation by entrapment of metal ion into crown ether cavity, and ion-dipole interaction between metal ion and two phenolic groups in calix[4]crown-6.

Recently, the development and spread of the new recyclable energy becomes urgent because of the depletion of fossil fuel and strengthening the environmental regulation. To recovery from the waste out of the many new recyclable energies has been proved as the most favorable when the potential value of energy source is compared. The RDF from the waste has been approved as the most economical method out of the other methods. However, the toxic gases (HCl, Dioxin etc) and heavy metals generated during the burning of the industrial wastes have been pointed out as problems. The PVC, alkali metal chloride, and alkaline earth metal chloride are major materials for emitting the chlorine and chlorine compounds have the problem such as the erosion on the heat collection device. This research has analyzed the heavy metal components containing in the industrial waste, and the concentration of Cl and S in the industrial waste generated in B industrial complex are slightly high than that of the A industrial complex. The results can be used to discuss the origin of inorganic components in industrial waste and utilized as a base data to improve the performance of the RDF as fuel.

The separation efficiency of metal ions by using silica gel bonded 15-crown-5 (SGBM) has been determined by column chromatography in aqueous solution at pH 1. Bindinng constants and separation factors for several SGBM-Metal interactions were measured in aqueous solution. The order of these binding constants and separation factors with metal ions was Li(Ⅰ) < Sr(Ⅱ) < Na(Ⅰ) < Cu(Ⅱ) < Mg(Ⅱ) < K(Ⅰ) < Ca(Ⅱ) < Bi(Ⅲ) < Sb(Ⅲ). These results were explained in terms of the size effect and electron density effect. This experimental results showed good efficiency for separation of $Sb^{3+}$ from mixtures of alkali, alkaline earth metal ions, and $Cu^{2+}$ in aqueous solution.

Sonoluminescence (SL) is the light emitting phenomenon accompanied with ultrasonic cavitation in liquid. It attracts many interests because physics behind it remains uncertain and few applications have appeared. It has been known that the color of SL changes in solutions which include metallic ions. In the present work, colors of SL in alkali metallic and alkaline earth metallic ions were considered. RGB component was used to analyze the color of SL. By using RGB component, it was found that color of SL in metallic solution can be resolved into color of SL in pure water and flame color of metal which is different from high intensity color of line spectrum of alkaline earth metal. From this result, influence of metallic ion on SL and the temperature on violent collapsing of cavitation bubble was discussed.

Isotopes of alkali and alkaline earth metals (AM and AEM) are the main contributors to the heat load and the radiotoxicity of spent fuel (SF) . These components are separated from the SF and dissolved in a molten LiCl in an electrolytic reduction process. A mass transfer model is developed to describe the diffusion behavior of Cs, Sr, and Ba in the SF into the molten salt. The model is an analytical solution of Fick's second law of diffusion for a cylinder which is the shape of a cathode in the electrolytic reduction process. And the model is also applied to depict the concentration profile of the oxygen ion which is produced by the electrolysis of Li$_{2}$O. The regressed diffusion coefficients of the model correlating the experimentally measured data are evaluated to be greater in the order of Ba, Cs, and Sr for the metal ions and the diffusion of the oxygen ion is slower than the metal ions which implies that different mechanisms govern the diffusion of the metal ions and the oxygen ions in a molten LiCl.

Economic U- and Th-bearing pegmatite deposits occur in the Kyemyeongsan Formation, and are spatially closely associated with the Carboniferous alkali granite. The pegmatite is lithochemically alkaline and peralumious, and consists mainly of potassic feldspar and quartz with allanite and U- and Th-bearing minerals. Paragenetic stages of mineralization in the pegmatite are divided as follows: early silicate mineralization, main rare metal mineralization, and late silicate mineralization. Thorite, euxenite, fergusonite and uranpyrochlore are the predominant U- and Th-bearing minerals. Both the enrichments of Nb, Y, Th, U, and Ta and the depletions of Hf, Ba, and Rb in the pegmatite were resulted from magmatic differentiation. The increases of Na and Ca in uranpyrochlore, of Th and U in fergusonite, of Si, Th, U and Pb in thorite, and of Nb and Y in euxenite were possibly resulted from both later internal fractionation and hydrothermal alteration. The variation of chemical composition in a mineral species reflects the different pysico-chemical conditions during the crystallization.

The main component governing selectivity in ion-selective electrodes and optodes is the ionophore. For this reason, a member of natural products that possess selective ion-binding properties have long been sought after. By applying this principle, the performance of cyclosporin used as neutral carriers for calcium selective polymeric membrane electrode was investigated. The calcium ion-selective electrode based on cyclosporin gave a good Nernstian response of 26.6 mV per decade for calcium ion in the activity range $1{\times}10^{-6}M$ to $1{\times}10^{-2}M$. The optimized calcium ion-selective electrode displayed very comparable selectivity for $Ca^{2+}$ ion against alkali and alkaline earth metal ions, $Na^{2+}$, and $Mg^{2+}$ in particular.

This investigation was made to evaluate the corrosion inhibiting effects of urotropine for mild steel in HCl. 1) Formaldehyde produced by the decomposition of urotropine also showed positive inhibiting effects. 2) In the presence of the ions, such as $Cu^+$, $Cu^{++}$, $Fe^{+++}$, $SO_3^=$, $SO_4^=$, $NO_2^-$, $NO_3^-$, $Cr_2O_7^=$, the inhibiting capacity of the urotropine was decreased. Alkali and alkaline-earth metal ions had no effects but the halogen ions improved it. 3) From measurements of polarization curves, it was assumed that the anode reaction was more retarded by the urotropine and the halogen.

In the combustion process, it is found that the addition of small amount of hydroxide of alkali and alkaline earth metal to the anthracite is more effective in order to suppress the evolution of $SO_2 gas, since the large portion of sulfur contained in anthracite is remained in the ash with a form of sulfide and sulfate. Under this experimental condition, however, it was observed that the SO_2$ gas corresponding to about 20 % of sulfur content in anthracite was released at $1000^{\circ}C$.

A simple propargylamide-fuctionalized chemodosimeter was prepared for the ratiometric fluorescence detection of mercuric ions in HEPES buffer. The chemodosimeter exhibited $Hg^{2+}$-induced propargyl amide-tooxazole transformation, with a significant accompanying ratiometric change in fluorescence. It afforded high selectivity for mercuric ion detection without any competitive inhibition by common alkali, alkaline earth, or other transition metal ions. The probe showed a $17{\times}10^{-6}M$ detection limit for $Hg^{2+}$ ions and potential applicability for detecting aqueous $Hg^{2+}$ ions.
