A new method of cobalt determination has been developed by employing ethylenediamine tetrabutyl acetate(EDTA-butyl ester) synthesized from EDTA and Butyl alcohol. The synthesized EDTA ester dissolved in butyl alcohol extracts various metal ions from aqueous solutions. Cobaltous ion extracted into organic phase containing EDTA ester to form Co (II)-EDTA butyl ester complex is back extracted into alkaline aqueous phase forming a stable pink colored complex of Co (III). The optimum condition for spectrophotometric determination of cobalt via the new complex has been established. The absorption peak occurs at 540$m{\mu}$ and Beer's law was obeyed over the concentration range of 0∼50 ${\mu}g/ml$ of cobalt.

A method for the determination of cobalt(Ⅱ) by differential pulse voltammetry using a carbon paste electrode constructed by incorporating 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol(PAN) into a conventional carbon paste mixture composed of graphite powder and Nujol oil has been developed. Several influencing factors for the determination of cobalt(Ⅱ) were studied in detail and the optimum analytical conditions were found to be as follows: pH, 4.6; composition of electrode, 20%; temperature of deposition, 43 ℃; time of preconcentration, 15 min. Regeneration of the electrode surface for the continuous uses of the electrode was achieved by exposing the carbon paste electrode to an acidic solution. Response of the electrode was reproducible for the uses of five times and the relative standard deviations were 6.7 and 4.6% for 2.0×10-5 M and 4.0×10-6 M cobalt(Ⅱ), respectively. The calibration curve for cobalt(Ⅱ) obtained by differential pulse voltammetry was divided into two linear ranges of 1.7× 10-6-1.3×10-4 M and 2.0×10-7-8.0×10-7 M. The detection limit was estimated to be 1.3×10-7 M. The effects of coexisting ions were also investigated to test the applicability of the proposed method to the determination of cobalt(Ⅱ) in real samples.

It has been known that transport characteristics of ions are very complicated in CEDI system due to the inter-relations between ion exchange media and solution. Thus, this study sought to determine the ionic mobility of cobalt ion through cation exchange textile under electroregeneration and consequently verify the transport mechanisms of cobalt ion in a CEDI system.(omitted)

In this study, zeolitic materials were synthesized from Jeju Volcanic Rocks (JVR) using a fusion/hydrothermal method at NaOH/JVR ratios of 0.6 and 1.2. The crystallinities of the zeolitic materials at NaOH/JVR ratios of 0.6 and 1.2 were 25.5% and 59.0%, respectively. It was confirmed through the SEM image that the zeolitic materials covered the zeolite particle with a cube-shaped crystals. The Co ions adsorption by the zeolitic materials were to reach the adsorption equilibrium at 120 min. It could be better simulated in the pseudo-second order adsorption kinetic equation than in the pseudo-first order adsorption kinetic equation. The adsorption capacities (q_m) of Co ions could be to estimate Langmuir isotherm better than Freundlich isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacities (q_m) at NaOH/JVR ratios of 0.6 and 1.2 were 55.3 mg/g and 68.7 mg/g, respectively. It was found that there was a high correlation between the crystallinity of zeolitic materials and the adsorption capacity of Co ions adsorption.

Oryzalin is a herbicide that disrupts the arrangement of microtubules by binding to tubulin, thereby blocking the anisotropic growth of plant cells. Microtubules and microfilaments are cytoskeleton components that have been implicated in plant growth through their influence on the formation of cell walls. Microtubules also play roles in the sedimentation of amyloplasts in the root tip columella cells; this sedimentation is related to gravity sensing and results in downward root growth in the soil for absorption of water and minerals. However, the orientation of microtubules changes depending on the level of ethylene in plant cells. A recent study reported that oryzalin stimulated ethylene production via 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase and ACC oxidase and caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of root growth and gravitropic responses. The aim of the present study was to investigate the possibility that oryzalin-induced inhibition might be recovered by the application of inhibitors of ethylene production, such as 10-4 M cobalt ions and 10-8 M aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG). The inhibition of root growth and gravitropic response was overcome by 10-20% by an 8 hr treatment with cobalt ions or AVG. These results suggest that ethylene levels could regulate root growth and gravitropic responses in Arabidopsis.

We performed a density functional theory study to investigate the intercalation voltage and lithium ion conduction in lithium cobalt oxide for lithium ion battery as a function of the lithium concentration. There were two methods for the intercalation of lithium ions; the intercalation of a lithium ion at a time in the individual layer and the intercalation of lithium ions in all the sites of one layer after all the sites of another layer. The average intercalation voltage was the same value, 3.48 V. However, we found the former method was more favorable than the latter method. The lattice parameter c was increased as the increase of the lithium concentration in the range of x < 0.25 while it was decreased as increase of the lithium concentration in the range of x > 0.25. The energy barrier for the conduction of lithium ion in lithium cobalt oxide was increased as the lithium concentration was increased. We demonstrated that the decrease of the intercalation voltage and increase of the energy barrier as the increase of the lithium concentration caused lower output voltage during the discharge of the lithium ion battery.

The rates of aquation of sparteine cobalt(II) halide and sparteine copper(II) halide were investigated in the citrate buffer solutions. The aquation of cobalt(II) complexes proceeds via D-mechanism and the catalytic effect of halide ions is not observed. The aquation of copper(II) complexes proceeds via $I_d$-mechanism and is catalyzed by the presence of cyanide and halide ions, and the aquation rate is pH dependent. The different mechanistic behavior of cobalt(II) complexes from corresponding copper(II) complexes seems to be attributed to the weakness of Co-N bond in the coordination sphere.

Bioleaching behavior of metal ions for recovery of cobalt and copper from cobalt concentrate was investigated by employing three Aspergillus niger strains. Various factors, such as organic acid generation with fungi type, pH of the culture and pulp density were studied. The results showed that the best fungi for organic acid(citric acid and oxalic acid) generation was A. niger KCTC 6144 using Malt Extract Broth culture at initial pH 3.5. But A. niger KCTC 6985 was more effective for the leaching of cobalt and copper from cobalt concentrate. Our results showed that 82% cobalt and 98% copper was dissolved by A. niger KCTC 6985 at 10g/L pulp density, at pH 3.5 and $24^{\circ}C$ after 15 days incubation.

The incorporation of cobalt into mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-41 and MCM-48 was carried out. Co-PO/MCM41 and Co-PO/MCM48 were prepared using Co(II) acetate solution adjusted to pH = 3.0 with phosphoric acid by the incipient wetness method. Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) was used to study the local environments of Co(II) incorporated into mesopores. The band around 500 nm in PAS of as-prepared Co-PO/MCM41 and Co-PO/MCM48 with Co(II) acetate solution was changed to triplet bands around 600 nm. This could be assigned to the 4 A2(F)-> 4T1(P) transition of Co(II) surrounded tetrahedrally by oxygen ions after calcination. It may be attributable to that the octahedral cobalt species containing phosphate ligands in coordination sphere reacting with framework's silanol groups to be dispersed atomically onto the surface of mesoporous molecular sieves as a tetrahedral species. This is unlike that the Co in Co-Cl/MCM41 and direct-synthesized Co-MCM41 transforms to Co oxide phase upon calcination. Co-PO/MCM41 and Co-PO/MCM48 were stable while treated with water.

The various cobalt(Ⅱ) complexes were synthesized and characterized using tris-(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine (ntb) as a ligand where the ntb plays as a tripodal tetradentate ligand to form complexes with a trigonal pyramidal geometry. The complexes have 5 and 6 coordinate cobalt(Ⅱ) ions depending on the additional ligand used. In each complex the additional ligand, chloride anion, or acetate anion occupies the "open" site trans to the apical tertiary nitrogen atom of ntb ligand. Complex 1, [Co(Ⅱ)(ntb)Cl]Cl has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. This geometry was easily constructed using ntb as a tetradentate ligand and chloride as a monodentate ligand. The complex is isostructural to the corresponding manganese(Ⅱ) complex. Crystal data are as follows: [Co(Ⅱ)(ntb)Cl]Cl·MeOH, 1. triclinic space group P1; a=13.524(2) Å, b=14.037(2) Å, c=17.275(1) Å; α=78.798(9), β=84.159(8)°, γ=65.504(9)°; V=2929.6(6) Å3; Z=4; R1=0.0715, wR2=0.1461 for reflections of I > 2σ(I). Six coordinate complex 2 [Co(ntb)(OAc)](OAc) was synthesized using ntb as a tetradentate ligand and acetate as a bidentate chelating ligand.
