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.

Centella asiatica (C. asiatica) has been widely used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industry as a functional material. In a previous study, we have investigated not only pharmacological effects such as antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects, but also analyzed various functional ingredients. In this study, triterpenoids were analyzed using HPLC-DAD to determine marker compounds among functional ingredients. When triterpenoids were analyzed, asiaticoside from C. asiatica was determined as an optimal marker compound. Next, specificity, linearity, limited of detection (LOD), limited of quantification (LOQ), precision, accuracy, and range were evaluated using HPLC-DAD to determine asiaticoside contents in C. asiatica juice and extracts. The specificity was elucidated by chromatogram and retention time using an established analytical method. The coefficient of correlation obtained was 0.9996. LOD was 4.99 ㎍/mL and LOQ was 15.12 ㎍/mL. Intra- and inter-day precision of asiaticoside were determined to be 0.48~1.68% and 0.08~1.09%, respectively. Furthermore, the recovery rate of asiaticoside was 98.88% and the analytical range of Field-70E was determined to be 0.625~10 mg/mL. As a results of evaluating ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP antioxidative effect, Field-70E showed potent antioxidant activities. Results of this study could be used as basic data for quality standardization of C. astiatica juice and extracts.

Humic and fulvic acids present in soil of different depth were extracted and their characteristics were analyzed as a basic study to evaluate the effect of humic substances on the behaviour of radioactive elements deposited on soil. Molecular size distribution of the humic and fulvic acids was measured by stirred cell ultrafiltration technique and the structural informations were obtained from their UV-Vis., IR and synchronous fluorescence (SyF) spectral analysis. Main molecular size ranges of the soil 1) humic and fulvic acids were 30~100 kDa (46~56%) and 10~30 kDa (33~43%) respectively, and their overall molecular sizes were found to became smaller with increasing the soil depth. Absorptivities measured at 280 nm in the UV-Visible spectra of humic acids were 1.4~1.5 times higher than those of fulvic acids, and increased with increasing the soil depth. SyF spectral data showed two distinct peak components having maximum peak positions of 428 nm (type I) and 498 nm (type II) for the soil humic and fulvic acids. From the analysis of the peak components, it was found that humic molecules are mainly made up of aromatic compounds corresponding to longer wavelength (type II), and the molecular components increased with increasing the soil depth. Analysis of IR spectral data indicated that the humic molecules contain a higher relative concentration of carboxylic groups than those of fulvic molecules, and the carboxylic group contents are seen to increase as the soil depth increase.

A new polystyrene-divinylbenzene chelating resin containing 4,5-dihydroxy-naphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid (chromotropic acid : CTA) as functional group has been synthesized and characterized. The sorption and desorption properties of this chelating resin for Cr(III) ion and Cr(VI) ion including nine metal bloodstain. As a results, FOB test kit could be effectively applied to identification of human blood at chelating resin was stable in acidic and alkaline solution. The Cr(VI) ion is selectively separated from Cr (III) ion at pH 2 and the maximum sorption capacity of Cr(VI) ion is 1.2 mmol/g. In the presence of anions such as $F^-$, $SO{_4}^{2-}$, $CN^-$, $CH_3COO^-$, $NO{_3}^-$, the sorption of Cr(VI) ion was reduced but anions such as $PO{_4}^{3-}$ and $Cl^-$ revealed no interference effect. The elution order of metal ions obtained from breakthrough capacity and overall capacity at pH 2 was Cr(VI)>Sn(II)>Fe(III)>Cu(II)>Cd(II)${\simeq}Pb(II){\simeq}Cr(III){\simeq}Mn(II){\simeq}Ni(II){\simeq}Al(III)$. Desorption characteristics for Cr(VI) ion was investigated with desorption agents such as $HNO_3$, HCl, and $H_2SO_4$. It was found that the ion showed high desorption efficiency with 3 M HCl. As the result, the chelating resin, XAD-16-CTA was successfully applied to separation and preconcentration of Cr (VI) ion from several metal ions in metal finishing works.

Using our PM2.5 and PM10 concentration data obtained from Seoul and Busan during winter 2002, we conducted comparative analysis on the role of inorganic ions in constituting airborne particles in two distinctive urban areas. Whereas the mass concentration of fine particle was more significant in Seoul, no such pattern was found in Busan. In addition, when the major components were compared between different particle fractions and between different sites, clear pattern was apparent between those. Although the major components of fine particles were generally compatible each other ($NH{_4}^+$, $NO{_3}^-$, and NSSS), those of coarse fractions were clearly distinguished. Although anthropogenic signatures were still important in Seoul, the influence of oceanic sources was clear in coarse fraction of Busan ($Cl^-$ and $Na^+$). Detailed statistical analysis of our data consistently supports the importance of different source processes between particle modes and source processes.

An approximate analytical method to predict performance characteristics of the stirling engines in a preliminary design stage was investigated. In basic equations proposed by walker, typical temperatures of working fluids in expansion and compression spaces were treated the same as those of working fluids in heater and cooler respectively. While the temperature of working fluids in the expansion space was actually lower than that of working fluids in the heater, the temperature of working fluids in the compression space was higher than that of working fluids in the cooler. The aim of this study divided typical temperatures of working fluids in expansion and compression spaces into serval grades, and than evaluated the experimental engine. As the result, the case which working fluids temperature of expansion space was treated as lower than the heater temperature and which that of compression space was treated as higher than the cooler temperature, was much closer to the experimental value.

Twelve kinds (1set) standard materials of chemical ingredients of lead zirconate titanate[$Pb(ZrTi)O_3$] have been developed in order to determine fast and accurate measurement of X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Especially, we used diluted(ahout sixteen times) filling compound($Li_2B_4O_7/LiBO_2=4/1$) to consider removal effect of matrix, storage convenience, and homogenous characteristics. As a result from the four different laboratories, we obtained extremly good agreement about the standard curve on twelve standard materials which containing eleven elements, PbO, $ZrO_2$, $TiO_2$, SrO, $WO_3$, $La_2O_3$, $Cr_2O_3$, MgO, $Nb_2O_5$, and $MnO_2$. The correlation factor of standard curve was over 0.998. However, ZnO has relatively low correlation factor, 0.977, because the concentration was 10ppm lower than other original materials. This analysis reveals that ZnO has shown the poor linearity as well as low fluorescence intensity. In present work, XRF standard materials are useful for determining a rapid and accurate results for major and minor elements concentration among PZT.

Solvent extraction of Ni(II) into a chloroform by using salen[N,N'-Bis (salicylidene)-ethylenediamine] as a ligand has been studied. Salen was synthesized from ethylenediamine and salicylaldehyde by simple condensation reaction in an ethanol. Salen formed a 1 : 1 complex with Ni(II) and its extraction constant was $10^{5.12}$. For the determination of Ni(II) in sea water samples, some experimental conditions such as pH of solution, amount of salen, acid type and concentration for back extraction, extraction time, and influence of foreign ions were optimized by using a synthetic sea water. The sea water of which the composition was similar to a natural sea water was synthesized in this laboratory. Trace Ni(II) was extracted into the chloroform in the weak basic solution above pH 8. And the nickel could be quantitatively extracted with the concentration of salen higher than $1.2{\times}10^{-4}mol/L$. This concentration was more than 180 times of Ni(II) in the solution with a mole ratio. Real samples of Korean coastal sea water were analyzed under optimized conditions. Even though Ni(II) was not detected in these samples. Recoveries more than 98% were obtained in the samples which 40 ng/mL of Ni(II) was spiked. And detection limit of proposed method was 1.3 ng/mL. From these results, it could be known that salen of this type would be applied for the determination of trace metals as an organic chelating reagent.
