In this study, the redox state of iron in sodium silicate glasses was varied by changing the melting conditions, such as the melting temperature and particle size of iron oxide. The oxidation states of the iron ion were determined by wet chemical analysis and UV-Vis spectroscopy methods. Iron commonly exists as an equilibrium mixture of ferrous ions, $Fe^{2+}$, and ferric ions $Fe^{3+}$. In this study, sodium silicate glasses containing nanoparticles of iron oxide (0.5% mol) were prepared at various temperatures. Increase of temperature led to the transformation of ferric ions to ferrous ions, and the intensity of the ferrous peak in 1050 nm increased. Nanoparticle iron oxide caused fewer ferrous ions to be formed and the $\frac{Fe^{2+}}{Fe^{3+}}$ equilibrium ratio compared to that with micro-oxide iron powder was lower.

Mango shell (MS) and mango shell activated carbon (MSAC) was used to adsorb crude oil from water at various experimental conditions. The MSAC was prepared by carbonization at $450^{\circ}C$ and chemical activation using strong $H_3PO_4$ acid. The adsorbents were characterized with Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. Investigations carried out included the effects of parametric variations of different adsorbate dose, adsorbent dose, time, temperature, pH and mixing speed on the adsorption of crude oil. The equilibrium isotherm for the adsorption process was determined using Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin Radushkevich isotherm models. Temkin isotherm was found to fit the equilibrium data reasonably well than others. The result demonstrated that MSAC was more effective for crude oil adsorption than raw mango shell. Optimum conditions were also presented. The enhanced effect from activation was justified statistically using Analysis of Variance and Bonferroni-Holm Posthoc significance test. The pseudo first order kinetics gave a better fit for crude oil adsorption with both MS and MSAC.

The binding of heavy metals by a biosorbent with binary functional groups was mathematically modeled. An FT-IR spectrophotometer analysis was employed to determine the stoichiometry between the protons in the functional groups of alginic acid and lead ions as a model system. The results calculated using an equilibrium constant agreed well with the experimental results obtained under various operating conditions, such as pH and metal ion concentration. It was also shown that the overall adsorption phenomenon of alginic acid was mainly due to its carboxyl groups. The equilibrium constants for each functional group successfully predicted the lead adsorption of ${\alpha}$-cellulose. Furthermore, the biosorption model could predict the adsorption phenomena of two metal ions, lead ions and calcium ions, relatively.

A complex chemical equilibrium analysis was performed to study the hot-wall CVD process of the SiC/C functionally gradient materials (FGM). Thermochemical calculations of the Si-C-H-Cl system were carried out, and the effects of process variables(deposition temperature, reactor pressure, C/[Si+C] and H/[Si+C] ratios in the source gas) on the composition of deposited layers and the deposition yield were investigated. The CVD phase diagrams of the SiC/C FGM deposition were obtained, and the optimum process windows were estimated from the results.

This investigation is the studies on the solubility analysis for several pharmaceuticals. The equilibrium reactions leading to complex formation of Caffeine and Nicotinamide with Lidocaine and Saccharin have been studied. The equilibrium constant of each complexes have also been calculated. It is shown that complex formation may lead to an increase in the solubilities of the reactants, and that Nicotinamide has more complexing activity than Caffeine. The influence of chemical structure of each components on interaction is also discussed.

Isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium data have been measured for binary systems n-dodecane-1-defanol, n-doderane-1-dodecanol, and 1-decanoi-1-dodecanol at 140$^{\circ}C$ by using head space gas chromatography (H.S.G.C) as a static method. The activity coefficients, calculated taking into acount the nonideality of the liquid phase, were correlated with the conventional g$\^$E/ model, Margules, van Laar, Wilson, NRTL equations. These equilibrium data were thermodynamically consistent by Rrdlich- kister test, among these data, system n-dodecane-1-detanoi has minimum azeotrope.

This research compared and analyzed safety ratio of slope with Talren97 and SoilWorks based on limit equilibrium analysis and Midas GTS based on finite element analysis. For the analysis variables, there are slope height, berm condition, soil parameter, groundwater level, slope inclination. All of slope stability analysis were performed by dividing into dry season and rainy season. As the result of the analysis of Talren97 and SoilWorks based on same theory, safety ratio of slope shows same value, so there was no difference between the programs. In comparison with limit equilibrium analysis, the result of finite element analysis showed somewhat high ratio of safety and it was higher by about 2.4% averagely. The difference between the result of limit equilibrium analysis and that of finite element analysis is in the range which can ignored in practical work.

Thermodynamic analysis on silicon consumpton during the chemical vapor deposition of tungten was carried out by calculation equilibrium concerations of all possible product species utilizing a computer progrom according to VCS.(Villars-Cruise-Smith) algorithm. The calculation could show various reaction paths which dominate the tungsten deposition under different process conditions. According to the calculation, the consumption of silicon can also be reduced at a lower total pressure SiH4 without H2 as the reacting gas is most effective for suppression of the excessive consumption of silicon during the deposition process.

A theoretical model for the calculation of chemical equilibrium composition of propellant combustion product is briefly presented for the performance analysis of monopropellant hydrazine rocket engine. Analysis result is compared to that of test and evaluation of 1-lbf class thruster and is scrutinized primarily from the view point of ammonia dissociation fraction. Chemical equilibrium composition and average molecular weight is additionally depicted according to the variation of propellant inlet pressures and the varying nozzle area ratio. The theoretical analysis is tried as a way of derivation of design parameters for mid- and large-thrust class of monopropellant rocket engines.
