A novel copper(II) membrane electrode based on diphenylisocyanate bis(acetylacetone) ethylenediimine (DIBAE), as a new hexadentates Schiff's base was prepared. The electrode exhibited a Nernstian response for Cu$^{2+}$ ions over a wide concentration range (1.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-1}$ to 1.0 ${\times}$ l0$^{-6}$ M) with a limit of detection of 6.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-7}$ M (39 ppb). The sensor shows a fast response time (15s) and the membrane can be used for more than 4 months without observing any major deviation. The electrode revealed very good selectivity with respect to many cations including alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions. The proposed sensor could be used in a pH range of 3.0-7.5. It was applied to the direct potentiometric determination of copper in black tea, and in wastewater of copper electroplating samples. The electrode was also used in potentiometric titration of the copper(II) ion with EDTA.

A new PVC membrane potentiometric sensor that is highly selective to Hg2+ ions was prepared, using bis(2-hydroxybenzophenone) butane-2,3-dihydrazone (HBBD) as an excellent hexadendates neutral carrier. The sensor works satisfactorily in the concentration range of 1.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-1 mol L-1 (detection limit 4 × 10-7 mol L-1) with a Nernstian slope of 29.7 mV per decade. This electrode showed a fast response time (~8 s) and was used for at least 12 weeks without any divergence. The sensor exhibits good Hg2+ selectivity for a broad range of common alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions (lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc, cadmium, lead and lanthanum). The electrode response is pH independent in the range of 1.5-4.0. Furthermore, the developed sensor was successfully used as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of mercury ions with potassium iodide and the direct determination of mercury in some binary and ternary mixtures.

The selective transport characteristics of $K^+$ and $Na^+$ of cell membrane model which irradiated by 60Co ${\gamma}$-ray was investigated. The cell membrane model used in this experiment was a Na+ type sulfonated copolymerized membrane of styrene and divinylbenezene. The initial flux of the ion was increased with increase of both $H^+$ ion concentration. In this experiment range(pH 0.5-3, temperature $15-65^{\circ}C$), first, the selectivity of $K^+$ and the ratio K+/Na+ of membrane which was not irradiated was about 1.06 - 1.13 and second, that of K+ and the ratio $K^+/Na^+$ of membrane which was irradiated was near about 0. And the driving force of pH of irradiated membrane was significantly increased about 4-5 times than membrane which was not irradiated. As selective transport of K+ and Na+ of cell membrane model were abnormal, cell damages were appeared at cell.

The ion selective membrane electrode made of calix[4]arene-based host 1 as ionophore, poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) as matrix and dioctylsebacate (DOS) as a plasticizer was studied. The potential responses of this membrane electrode to alkali, alkaline earth and transition metal cations were investigated. Especially this membrane electrode was turned out to be affinitive for $Pb^{2+}$ in the deionized water. It was observed that the response was linear in the concentration range from $1.0 \times 10^{-1} M to 1.0 \times 10^{-6} M of Pb^{2+}$ and its slope (26.5 mV/decade) was near to the sub-Nernstian response in deionized water. Also, the potential was maintained constantly in the range of pH $4.00 \sim 12.00$, which supports the potential usage as $Pb^{2+}$ affinitive electrode in the deionized water.

A new potassium sensitive field effect transistor modified with 4'-aminobenzo-15-crown-5 was prepared and its response characteristics were evaluated. The response slope of $K^{+}-ISFET$ for pH was 30.0 mV/decade and the response time was mere than 3 minutes. And the response slope and time of the $K^{+}-ISFET$ for potassium ion as $19.5{\pm}0.2{\;}mV/decade$ and about 3 minutes, respectively. The linear response range of the sensor for potassium ion was $2.0{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}1.0{\times}10^{-2}M$. The selectivity coefficients of the $K^{+}-ISFET$ for the alkali and alkaline earth metal ions were also evaluated. Sodium, ammonium and calcium ions exhibited relatively significant interference. The long term stability of the sensor was remarkably improved and it could be used for more than 50 days.

The new chelating resins, XAD-2, 4, 16-TAC and XAD-2, 4, 16-TAO were synthesized by Amberlite XAD-2, XAD-4, and XAD-16 macroreticular resins with 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-p-cresol(TAC) and 4-(2-thiazolylazo)orcinol(TAO) as functional groups and were characterized by elemental analysis and FT-IR spectrometry. It was found that the content of functional group in chelating resin was 0.60mmol/g in XAD-16-TAC and 0.68mmol/g in XAD-16-TAO respectively. The chelating resins were stable in acidic and alkaline solution and can be reused over 10 times. The sorption behavior of some metalions to two chelating resins was investigated by batch method, which included batch equilibrium, effect of pH, coexisting ions and masking agent. For the optimum condition of sorption, the time required for equilibrium was about 1 hour and optimum pH was 5. In the presence of anions such as ${SO_4}^{2-}$ and $CH_3COO^-$, the sorption of U(VI) ion was slightly reduced but other anions such as $Cl^-$ and $NO{_3}^-$ revealed no interference effect. Also, sorption capacity of U(VI) ion was decreased by addition of $CO{_3}^{2-}$ ion because of complex formation of $[UO_2(CO_3)_3]^{4-}$, but alkali metals and alkali earth metals including Na(I), K(I), Mg(II), and Ca(II) were not affected for the sorption extent. Masking agent, NTA showed better separation efficiency of U(VI) ion from coexisting metal ions such as Th(IV), Zr(IV), Hf(IV), Cu(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Mn(II) than EDTA, CDTA.

There are several steps such as slicing, lapping, chemical etching and mechanical polishing in the silicon wafer production process. The chemical etching step is necessary to remove damaged layer caused In the slicing and lapping steps. The typical etching liquor is the acid mixture comprising nitric acid, acetic acid and hydrofluoric acid. At present, the waste acid is treated by a neutralization method with a high alkali cost and balky solid residue. A solvent extraction method is applicable to separate and recover each acid. Acetic acid is first separated from the waste liquor using 2-ethlyhexyl alcohols as an extractant. Then, nitric acid is recovered using TBP(Tri-butyl phosphate) as an extractant. Finally hydrofluoric acid is separated with the TBP solvent extraction. The expected recovered acids in this process are 2㏖/l acetic acid, 6㏖/1 nitric acid and 6㏖/l hydrofluoric acid. The yields of this process are almost 100% for acetic acid and nitric acid. On the other hand, it is important to recover and reuse the metal values contained in various industrial wastes in a viewpoint of environmental preservation. Most of industrial products are made through the processes to separate impurities in raw materials, solid and liquid wastes being necessarily discharged as industrial wastes. Chemical methods such as solvent extraction, ion exchange and membrane, and physical methods such as heavy media separation, magnetic separation and electrostatic separation are considered as the methods for separation and recovery of the metal values from the wastes. Some examples of the application of solvent extraction to the treatment of wastes such as Ni-Co alloy scrap, Sm-Co alloy scrap, fly ash and flue dust, and liquid wastes such as plating solution, the rinse solution, etching solution and pickling solution are introduced.

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.

The dealuminated and alkali/alkaline-earth metal exchanged Y-zeolites were prepared as a catalyst. Elemental compositions and structures of the prepared catalysts were analyzed by the various spectroscopic techniques such as inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy(ICP-AES), X-ray fluorescence(XRF) and X-ray diffraction(XRD), and the desorption behaviors of adsorbed species on the catalyst surfaces were investigated via NO-TPD experiment. Comparing with the composition of the starting material of NaY zeolite, the magnitudes of Si/Al ratio in catalytic materials were increased after dealumination. The Si/Al ratio of catalytic materials after dealumination followed by Cs and Ba cation exchange were additionally decreased. Dealumination to catalysts induced a destruction of basic frame due to a detachment of aluminum, which results in reducing framework structure, while increasing non-framework structure. This phenomenon becomes more serious with increasing time of steam treatment and even more significant for the cation exchanged catalysts. In NO-TPD experiments, the desorption peaks of NO which indicates an activity point of catalysts shifted to the low temperature region after dealumination and cation exchange. The desorption peaks of the NO-TPD profiles taken after steam treatment also shifted to the low temperature region as the steam treatment time increased. In dealuminated and cation exchanged Y-zeolites, the catalytic activities were more influenced by exchanged cation and the formation of non-framework structure.
