In order to obtain basal data for industrial application of inulinase from Bacillus sphaeicus 188-1, its intracellular inulinase was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation and column chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and Sephadex G-100. The enzyme was homogeneous as judged by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, with an apparent molecular weight of 29 kDa. Inulinase activity was optimal at pH 6.5 and 4$0^{\circ}C$. The enzyme activity was significantly inhibited by Cu$^{2＋}$, Cd$^{2＋}$ and Hg$^{2＋}$. The inulinase exhibited an apparent Km value of 0.014% for inulin.

A method has been described for the determination of Cu(Ⅱ), Pb(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ), Cd(Ⅱ), Mn(Ⅱ) and Fe(Ⅲ) by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) after preconcentration on Amberlite XAD-16 resin, using hexamethyleneammonium-hexamethylenedithiocarbamate (HMA-HMDTC) as a chelating agent, and NH3/NH4Cl buffer solution (pH 9). Influences of various analytical parameters such as pH, concentration of nitric acid, amount of analytes, diverse ions and sample volume were investigated. The relative standard deviation (RSD) and the detection limit (LOD) were found in the range of 0.8-2.9% and 0.006-0.277 ㎍/mL,respectively. Recoveries obtained by the column method were quantitative ( >95%) at optimum conditions.The method was applied to the determination of some metal ions in seawater and wastewater samples. A high preconcentration factor (about 150 for seawater and 75 for wastewater samples) and simplicity are the main advantages of this suggested method.

The physical and chemical characteristics of ALC were analyzed and showed 2.2 of specific gravity and 9.05 of pH. The results of leaching tests with standard method for soil and waste indicated heavy metals(Cu, Cd, Pb, $Cr^{6+}$) were under maximum concentration level. The anaerobic digestion sludge was attached in the surface of ALC within 90 hours. As the results of batch test, pH of the ALC and Bio-ALC were decreased from initial pH of ALC to 8.7 and 7.8 respectively Also, the concentration of heavy metals was rapidly eliminated in the solution with the batch test. The result of column experiment indicates that the removal efficiency of ALC was showed 66% of T-P, 60% of T-N, and 67% of CODcr. Also, removal efficiency of Bio-ALC was slightly higher than that of ALC in T-N (64%) and CODcr (74%).

This study was performed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of silymarin against human low density lipoproteins(LDL) oxidation. Silymarin extracted from Silybum marianum was successively purified with solvent fractionation and followed by silica gel column chromatography. The active substances were separated by HPLC and the isolated active substances, silymarin were identified by IR, NMR, GC-MS as silymarin. Silymarin inhibited at the 5 $\mu$M Cu2+-mediated oxidation of human low density lipoprotein (LDL) in a dose dependent manner. Silymarin completely inhibited LDL oxidation at 50 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ concentration. These findings suggest that silymarin may protect LDL against oxidation in atherosclerotic lessions.

This study was initiated to antioxidant activity of silybin on oxidation of human low density lipoproteins(LDL). Siltbin was extracted from Silybum marianum by the combination of fractionation and it was futher purified by silica gel column chromatography, and isolated active substances were identified silybin by IR, NMR and GC-MS. siltbin inhibited the ozidation of human low density lipoprotein(LDL) mediated by 5$^{\mu}$m CU $^{2+}$ ion in a dose dependent manner. LDL oxidation by congugated dines formation was completely inhibited by silybin at a concentration of 5$^{\mu}$M. The results provide a possibility that silybin might protect LDL against oxidation in atherosclerotic lessions.

According to our secondary school curriculum for natural science and technical circles, there be used 353 of chemical reagents including 24 kinds of harmful and toxicant components. At present, most school are discharging their school laboratory waste water without any chemical and physical treatments. So as to solve the environmental problem for water pollution, this study tried to research a kind of adsorbant utilizing saw dust, wasted wood sources and designed the simple processing system using the adsorbent. This adsorbent was made by extracting lignin substances from raw saw dust under the solution of 0.5N-NaOH at the temperature of $100^{\circ}C$. Their metal removed rates was measured not only by processing of column and vessel. but also by comparing the standard solution and real waste water. The results were proved as more than 90(%) of the adsorptive efficiency on the average from Pb, Cd, Cu except Cr(VI)in case of the school experimental waste water soaked in vessels a long with 4g of the adsorbent for 24 hours. The new processing system enables to remove most harmful and toxicant metals by filtering, sedimenting and adsorbing at the low cost.

This research was done for possible treatment of impermeable surfaces rainwater runoff containing heavy metal ions by manganese oxide coated on polypropylene support. Manganese oxide was coated by Birnessite Coating Methods(BCM)and the coating analyzed by SEM and FT-IR techniques. The efficiency of heavy metal ions adsorption was also assessed via both batch and column tests. Adsorption efficiencies of Cd, Zn, Cu, and Pb were 99.4%, 98.9%, 96.7%, and over 95.7%, respectively. The adsorption progress pattern reveals quite fast adsorption at initial periods of treatment and change to slower rates at later times.

The cation exchange chromatographic studies for the analysis of transition metals have been described. The quantitative separation of a mixture of Fe(Ⅲ), Cu(II), Zn(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Co(II) and Mn(II) has been obtained by elution, through a 28cm column of the resin, Dowex 50 ${\times}$ 4 (100∼200 mesh), using 0.45 M $NaNO_3$+0.05 M Na-tartrate solution as eluent, starting with the eluent of pH 3.5, followed stepwise by pH 4.0 and 4.5. A comparison between the calculated and the observed peak positions in the elution curve has been shown. The relative stability constants for tartrate complexes of some transition metals have been calculated by using distribution ratios obtained in this separation procedure.

Avicelase, CMCase and salicinase of A.phoenicis K.U. 175 were purified from wheat bran culture by salting out with ammonium sulfate, dialysis and successive column chromatography Sephadex G-100. Optimum pH and temperature of avicelase were pH 3.8-4.8, $35-55^{\circ}C$ and that of CMCase, salicinase were pH4.5-5.5, $45-60^{\circ}C$ and pH 4.5-6.0, $45-60^{\circ}C$ respectively. These enzymes were relatively thermostable, alkali unstable and inhibited by $Ca^{++},\;Mn^{++},\;Cu^{++},\;and\;Hg^{++}$. Km values of avicelase, CMCase and salicinase were calculated to be $1.5{\times}10^{-4}M,\;5.5{\times}10^{-4}M\;and\;2.75{\times}10^{-5}M$ and Vmax values $1.66{\times}10^{-4}mM/min,\;3.33{\times}10^{-4}mM/min\;and\;1.14{\times}10^{-4}mM/min$, respectively.

A fibrinolytic enzyme was purified to homogeneity from Bacillus sp. S19 using DEAE and CM column chromatograhies, and gel filtration with a recovery yield of 13%. Its molecular mass was estimated to be 42 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The pH and temperature optima were 8.0 and $40^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was stable up to $45^{\circ}C$ and over a pH range of 6-9. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was determined as Alsa-Gln-Asp-Ala-Thr-Val-Asn-Ile-Ser-Ala-Glu-Arg-Gln-Val-Ile. The fibrinolytic activity was increased by $Cu^{2+}$ while it was strongly inhibited by metal ions such as $Cd^{2+}$ and $Ba^{2+}$ . In addition, the enzyme was inhibited by EDTA, but not by PMSF, suggesting that it is a metallorprotease.
