Objectives: Antivenom serums have been used extensively for over a century and are the only effective treatment option for snake bites and other dangerous animal envenomations. In therapeutic serum centers, a wide range of antivenoms is made from animal serum, mainly equine and sheep, that are immunized with single or multiple venoms. This work aimed to use caprylic acid (CA) to purify therapeutic snake antivenom. Methods: Plasma was obtained from equine immunized with a mixture of venoms. Immunized plasma was obtained by precipitation of different concentrations (2-5%) of CA. This methodology was compared to that based on ammonium sulfate (AS) precipitation. Sediment plasma proteins were purified by ion-exchange chromatography. Protein assay, SDSPAGE, and agar gel diffusion were performed. Results: The total protein precipitation with AS was higher than precipitation with CA, but the best results were obtained when CA was added to the plasma until a final CA concentration of 5% was reached. Chromatography and electrophoresis indicated a stronger band for the 5% CA, and the gel diffusion assay showed antigen-antibody interaction in the purified serum. Conclusion: The use of CA compared to the routine method for purifying hyperimmune serums is a practical and cost-effective method for preparing and producing therapeutic serums. It constitutes a potentially valuable technology for alleviating the critical shortage of antivenom in Iran.

Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis ML8(L.lactis ML8)의 nisin 생산과 저항 특성을 구명하기 위하여 배지의 종류 및 pH가 nisin의 역가에 미치는 영향, 균체의 생육에 따른 nisin의 생산특성, nisin이 균체생육에 미치는 영향 및 $Ca^[2+}$ 이온의 존재가 균주의 nisin 저항성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Nisin의 역가를 Micrococcus flacus에 대하여 항생효과를 나타내는 성질을 이용하여 agar diffusion법으로 측정하였을 때, M.flavus 생육에 대한 저해직경은 nisin 농도 (0.5`20 unit/ml)의 log치에 비례하였다.

Interaction occuring among the different Ca concentrations, pH and temperatures in the promotive effect of Ca in pollen growth was studied by using pollen from Crinum asiaticum and Cryptostegia grandiflora. Data for pollen tube elongation were found to be more indicative of representing the promotive action of Ca ion in pollen growth than those for pollen germination, and were served to evaluate the experimental results. The pollen growth increased as the concentration of Ca increase. The optimal pH range for pollen growth shifted from the lower pH to the higher as the concentration of Ca increase. The characteristic Ca effect was disappeared, and no pH effect at various ranges was observed when pollen grains were grown at the low temperature(8$^{\circ}C$). The Ca effect became quite pronounced if temperature were raised. The Ca effect became even mroe striking if the condition was in higher pH ranges (weak alkaline). Higher pH ranges were found to be more favorable for the Ca action, whereas higher temperature was required to bring about more pronounced Ca effect. Thus, the longest pollen tube was obtained with the highest pH, temperature adopted for the medium supplemented with Ca in the present experiment, and the shortest tube with the lowest temperature applied at the highest pH. Pectin synthesis in pollen tube was considered as a metabolic process, whereas Ca binding in pectin of the pollen tube wall as non-metabolic in nature. Disappearance of Ca effect at the low temperature was probably brought about by blocking the metabolic synthesis of pectin, and nonmetabolic Ca binding seems to take place more extensively with higher concentrations of Ca and at higher pH levels than the lower.

High voltage impulse(HVI) has been gained attention as an alternate technique controlling $CaCO_3$ scale formation. Investigation of key operational parameters for HVI is important, however, those had not been reported yet. In this study, the effect of temperature and applied voltage of HVI on $Ca^{2+}$ concentration was studied. As the applied voltage from 0 to 15kV and the temperature increased from 20 to $60^{\circ}C$, the $Ca^{2+}$ concentration decreased, indicating that the aqueous $Ca^{2+}$ precipitated to $CaCO_3$. The $Ca^{2+}$ concentration decreased up to 81% under the condition of 15kV and $60^{\circ}C$. Rate constant for the precipitation reaction, k was determined under different temper1ature and voltage. The reaction rate constant under the 15kV and $60^{\circ}C$ condition was evaluated to $66{\times}10^{-3}L/(mmol{\cdot}hr)$, which was 5 times greater than the k of the reaction without HVI at same temperature. The increases in k by HVI at higher temperature region(40 to $60^{\circ}C$) was much greater than at lower temperature region(20 to $40^{\circ}C$), which implies temperature is more important parameter than voltage for reducing $Ca^{2+}$ concentration at high temperature region. These results show that the HVI induction accelerates the precipitation to $CaCO_3$, particularly much faster at higher temperature.

본 연구에서는 폐수중에 함유된 철이온을 제거하기 위하여 2가와 3가 칠이온을 함유하는 용액의 pH를 침전점이상으로 조절함으로서 형성된 수산화철 침전의 침강 특성을 조가하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 수산 이온의 농도 증가는 수산화철 침전의 침강 속도를 빠르게 하고 이때 CaO가 효과적이었다. 고분자 엉김제는 수산화철 침전의 초기 침강 속도를 빨라지게 하지만 과량은 침강 속도를 저하시킨다. 수산화철 침전의 농도가 높아지면 침강 속도가 크게 감소되므로 수산화물로서 침전시켜 제거할 철이온의 농도는 $10^{-2}$mol/ㅣ이하로 조절됨이 바람직하다.

본 연구에서는 산업용수의 처리 및 운용 과정에서 중요한 문제점으로 지목되고 있는 탄산칼슘에 의한 스케일 형성을 제어하기 위해 고전압 임펄스 (High Voltage Impulse, HVI) 기술의 활용 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 전원부, 고전압발생부, 축전기, 스위치 및 임펄스발생기로 구성된 HVI를 제작하여 17kV의 고전압 펄스를 생성시켰다. 반응조에 $Ca^{2+}$을 포함하고 있는 인공 시료를 투입한 후 HVI를 인가하였다. HVI 접촉시간 5분 후에는 $Ca^{2+}$ 초기값의 3.0% 가량만 감소하였으나, 접촉시간 60분 후에는 약 13.7% 가량 감소하였다. HVI 인가로 인해 용액의 온도와 pH는 증가하였고 전기전도도는 탄산칼슘 석출로 인해 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 칼슘 이온의 감소가 충분하지는 않았지만 전계의 세기 및 접촉시간에 따른 제거율에 간한 구체적인 정보가 얻어진다면, HVI 기술을 적용하여 $Ca^{2+}$ 이온을 탄산칼슘으로 미리 석출시켜 제거하는 연수화 (softening) 공정이나 탈염 기술로 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

The present study was conducted for the purpose of analyzing the growth response of Dracaena braunii treated with chloride ions and to evaluate its salt tolerance. Distilled water (CON) was spiked with 1 (C1), 2 (C2), 5 (C5), 10 (C10) and 15 g/L (C15) $CaCl_2$, respectively. Acidity (pH) and electrical conductivity of hydroponic solution, and leaf width, leaf length, root length, number of leaves, fresh weight, dry weight and the water content of Dracaena braunii were measured. Acidity and electrical conductivity remarkably increased commensurate with increasing concentrations of $CaCl_2$. Growth in the C1 treatment was better than that in CON, whereas the C10 or C15 treatments caused either slow growth or withering of the plants. Fresh weight, dry weight and water content were significantly decreased in response to $CaCl_2$ concentration, compared with those in the control. These results showed that $CaCl_2$ concentration less than 1 g/L may be used as a hydroponic solution for D. braunii, as long as the water quality is not too saline. The chlorine ion has a negative effect on the growth.

본 연구는 제강슬래그로부터 인성분을 추출하여 농업용 비료의 자원으로서 사용하기 위한 침출공정을 연구하였다. 일반적으로 제강 슬래그에 함유되어 있는 인성분은 $C_2S-C_3P$상에 고용되어 있고, 이 고용체는 슬래그 내의 free-CaO 다음으로, 다른 상들보다 수용해성이 크다. 본 실험에서는 다원계 슬래그를 이용하여, 다양한 원소들의 용해거동에 미치는 pH의 영향을 알아보았다. 낮은 pH에서 제강슬래그로부터 수용액 중 Ca, Si, P, Fe의 농도는 증가되었다. pH가 3인 경우, 수용액 중 P 이온의 농도는 시간에 따라 감소하였고, P이온과 Fe이온과의 침전 반응을 감소 원인으로 고찰하였다.

Characteristics of biosorption of lead by marine algae, Laminaria japonica, were examined. The biosorption capacity of lead by L. japonica was achieved up to 30％ of its own weight and proportional to the initial lead concentration. However, the opposite result was shown in different initial weight of biomass. Ion exchange reaction between lead ions and calcium ions was observed on lead biosorption with Ca-Ioaded biomass. Stoichiometric coefficient, which can represent the exchange ratio between metal ions and protons during elution process, was determined as 1.39. Therefore, it was concluded that the reaction between lead ions already attached in biomass and protons in bulk solution was not fully stoichiometric ion exchange relation at elution process.

Due to its efficient red emission, $Eu^{3+}$ ion has been doped in various host materials. $GdCa_4B_3O_{10}:Eu^{3+}$ phosphor for red emission has been prepared by solid state reaction. Photoluminescence properties for the phosphor under UV and VUV excitation were investigated. The $GdCa_4B_3O_{10}:Eu^{3+}$ phosphor under both excitation conditions shows typical red emission spectrum centered at 611 nm with several weak peaks due to energy transfer from $^5D_O\;to\;^7F_J(J=1,2,3,4)$ of $Eu^{3+}$ ion. On the other hand, the activator content exhibiting the concentration quenching under UV and VUV irradiation is 10 mole% and 2.5 mole%, respectively.
