Mutual interferences of alkali and alkali-earth metals in atomic absorption were examined. For determination of Na or K interfering elements increase the absorbancy, and for Ca or Mg decrease. Since influences of coexisting elements become nearly constant by addition of large amount of same coexisting element, could be use mixed standard solution for alkali or alkali-earth metal determination in the presence of other alkali and alkali-earth metals. The metals can be readily incorporated into scheme of rapid silicate analysis. Precision and accuracy are good.

Oxidation of alkylaromatics including toluene and p-methoxytoluene has been carried out over alkali metal (AM)-containing catalysts such as AM-V/TiO2 and AM-VSb/Al2O3 in vapor-phase using oxygen as an oxidant. The selectivity for partial oxidations increases with incorporation of an alkali metal or with increasing the basicity of alkali metals (from Na to Cs), irrespective of the supports or reactants. However, the conversion is nearly constant or slightly decreasing with the addition of alkali metals in the catalyst. The increased selectivity may be related with the decreased acidity even though more detailed work is necessary to understand the effect of alkali metals in the oxidation. The AM-VSb/Al2O3 may be suggested as a potential selective catalyst for vapor-phase oxidations.

Adsorption of alkali metals (Li, Na, and K) on the surface of magnesium oxide nanotubes (MgONTs) with different diameters was investigated using density functional theory. According to the obtained results, the most stable adsorption site was found to be atop the oxygen atom of the tube surface with adsorption energies in the range of -0.25 to -0.74 eV. HOMO-LUMO gap ($E_g$) of the tubes dramatically decreases upon the adsorption of the alkali metals, resulting in enhancement of their electrical conductivity enhancement. The order of $E_g$ decrement caused by the metal adsorption is as follows: K > Na > Li. The results suggest that the MgONTs were transformed from semi-insulator to semiconductor upon the alkali metal adsorption. Increasing the tube diameter, the HOMO/LUMO gap of the pristine tube is enhanced and adsorption energies of the alkali metals are decreased.

Nano-assisted inclusion separation of alkali metals from basic solutions was reported by inclusion-facilitated emulsion liquid membrane process. The novelty of this study is application of nano-baskets of calixarene in the selective and efficient separation of alkali metals as both the carrier and the surfactant. For this aim, four derivatives of $p-tert-calix$[4]arene bearing different sulfonamide moieties were synthesized and their inclusion-extraction parameters were optimized including the calixarene scaffold $\mathbf{3}$ (4 wt %) as the carrier/demulsifier, the commercial kerosene as diluent in membrane, sulphonic acid (0.2 M) and ammonium carbonate (0.4 M) as the strip and the feed phases, the phase and the treat ratios of 0.8 and 0.3, mixing speed (300 rpm), and initial solute concentration (100 mg/L). The selectivity of membrane over more than ten interfering cations was examined and the results reveled that under the optimized operating condition, the degree of inclusion-extraction of alkali metals was as high as 98-99%.

단결정 실리콘 태양전지 제조 공정이 진행되는 과정에서 각종 오염물에 의해 표면이 오염된다. 태양전지의 효율 개선을 위한 표면 texturing 공정은 주로 wet etch을 주로 사용한다. Wet etch 공정 시 주로 사용되는 KOH 용액은 texturing 후 실리콘 웨이퍼 표면에 K+ 이온을 남기고 이는 태양전지 표면에서의 불순물로 작용하여 효율을 저하시키는 요인이 된다. 이를 제거하기 위해 불산 및 오존에 의한 세정 공정이 추가로 필요로 하게 된다. 이러한 공정을 최소화 하며 잔존하는 알칼리 금속도 제거하기 위해, etchant로 알카리 용액이 아닌 ethylenediamine을 사용하여 texturing 후 KOH 용액과 비교해 보았다.

The competitive solvent extractions of alkali and alkaline earth metals by di-ionizable calix[4]arene nano-baskets were studied using nine conformers of calix[4]arene nano-baskets. The objective of this work is to assess the variation of macrocycle conformation, orientation and position of pendant moieties upon the extraction parameters (efficiency, selectivity and $pH_{1/2}$) of the complexes. The results revealed that alternation of ring conformation in calixarene scaffold affects the solvent extraction parameters towards alkali and alkaline earth metals, while changing the orientation of pendant moieties from ortho- to para- as well as cis- to trans-analogues depicted no changes in those extraction parameters.

For the first time we have synthesized thiabenzene radical by the reaction of thiopyrylium cation with alkali metals. As might be expected for a free radical, ESR-spectrum of 2,4,6-triphenylthiabenzene radical shows the single signal with g-value of 2.0045. The proton signal of 2,4,6-triphenylthiabenzene radical in nmr spectrum shifts to the higher field than that of 2,4,6-triphenylthiopyrylium cation by ca. 0.5 ppm. From the UV-spectrum of thiabenzene radical the presence of 6${\pi}$ non-benzenoid aromatic system was observed as in the case of thiopyrylium cation. The reactivity of alkali metals with thiopyrylium cation increases in the order of decreasing ionization energy, Li

본 연구에서는 전기 제강로 분진(EAFD)으로부터 고 순도의 아연회수를 위한 산 습식법 중 알칼리 금속 및 염화물(Na, K, Cl) 제거를 위한 적정 수 세척공정의 운영조건에 대해 조사하였다. 서로 다른 성상을 가지는 두 종류의 EAFD 시료를 대상으로 원소분석, XRD, 입도 분석 등의 물리화학적 특성을 분석하였고, 세척액의 pH, 세척시간, 고액비(mL/g) 및 세척반복횟수 등에 따른 알칼리 금속 및 염화물의 세척효율(%)을 비교하였다. 연구 결과, EAFD 내 알칼리 금속과 염화물은 고액비 3, 세척시간>30, pH 10~11의 조건에서 아연과 철의 손실을 최소화하면서(<~0.1%) 효과적으로 제거할 수 있었으며, 1회 세척시 Na-78%, K-76%, Cl >99%의 세척효율을 보였다. Na와 K는 3회 반복 세척 시 각각 97%, 89%까지 제거 가능하였다. 두 종류의 EAFD 혼합(1:1)시료를 대상으로 시료 용량을 늘려(10배) 수행한 실험 결과에서도 세척액의 최종 pH 10~11에서 Zn의 손실 없이 Na, K, Cl 등을 효과적으로 제거 가능함을 확인하였다.

The alkali-aggregate reaction is a reaction between the alkali metals in the pore water of a concrete and an unstable mineral of the aggregate. There are three types of alkali-aggregate reation which causes deterioration of concrete, such as alkali-silicate reation, alkali-carbonate reaction and alkali-silica reation. Deterioration due to alkali-silica reation is more comon than that due to either the alkali-silicate or alkali-carbonate reaction. The alkali-silica reation is a reaction between the hydroxyl ions in the pore water of a concrete and silica which exists in signigicant quantities in the aggregate. In this PAPER, Alkali-aggregate reactions of mortar made with various abroad aggregate were investigated using XRD, microscope, chemical and physical tests. In additions, the effects of the texture of aggregate, Na, K, CI ion concentrations added to the mortar, on these reactions were studied.
