A new approach for the determination of acrylamide (AM) in foods by solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography (SPME-GC) was established. AM was bromized and transformed to 2-bromoacrylamide (2-BAM). 2-BAM was then extracted by a commercial SPME fiber, $75-{\mu}m$ Car/PDMS fiber, for GC detection. The influence of extraction and desorption parameters such as extraction temperature and time, stirring rate, desorption temperature, and time were studied and optimized. The mass concentration was proportional to the peak area of 2-BPA from 1.0 to 8,000 ${\mu}g/L$. The detection limit of the SPME-GC for 2-BAM was found to be 0.1 ${\mu}g/L$, and the recoveries and relative standard deviations for different food samples were 74.5 to 102.0%, and 4.2 to 9.1%, respectively. The presented method was applied to the determination of AM in fried foods.

The removal of arsenic(V) using four different natural minerals were evaluated. Parameters like contact time, pH, adsorbent dosages, and As(V) concentration were optimized. The kinetics of adsorption was observed to be fast and reached equilibrium within 2h. As(V) adsorption on studied minerals was dependent on pH and followed a pseudo-second-order reaction model. For kaolin, maximum adsorption was found at pH 5.0. Whereas, in case of other three minerals, a pH range of 6.0-7.0 was found to be the best for As(V) adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity (Q) was calculated by fitting Langmuir equation to the adsorption isotherms obtained under a specified condition. From the slope of best fit, the Q values were calculated to be 2.07, 2.15, 1.95 and 0.86 mg As(V)/g of bauxite, wad, iron ore and kaolin, respectively. Desorption of As(V) from loaded materials was dependent on the type of leaching reagents used. Based on the results, it was found that among the studied natural minerals, wad was the best As(V) adsorbent.

A stainless-steel needle (Hamilton 90022, 22 gauge, 718-㎛ o.d., 413-㎛ i.d., 51-mm length, bevel tip) with an electrochemically coated polyaniline layer having a microbore tunnel was newly prepared as a device for headspace in-needle microextraction. For designing the needle, the polyaniline layer length was optimized, and to evaluate the extraction efficiency for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, numerous cyclic voltammetry scans were conducted. In addition, the optimization of the analytical conditions (including the adsorption and desorption parameters) and the validation of the analytical method were conducted. The optimized adsorption and desorption conditions were 40 ℃ for 30 min and 230 ℃ for 60 s, respectively. Finally, in this study, a polyaniline layer was electrochemically deposited on the in-needle surface, and it exhibited good thermal stability. The needle with the polyaniline layer was repeatedly used more than 200 times during this study. This method has some advantages in terms of the extraction time, extraction efficiency, and analysis cost.

An activated carbon was tested for its ability to remove transition metal ions from aqueous solutions. Physical, chemical and liquid-phase adsorption characterizations of the carbon were done following standard procedures. Studies on the removal of Ni(II), Cu(II) and Fe(III) ions were attempted by varying adsorbate dose, pH of the metal ion solution and time in batch mode. The equilibrium adsorption data were fitted with Freundlich and Langmuir and the isotherm constants were evaluated, equilibrium time of the different three metal ions were determined. pH was found to have a significant role to play in the adsorption. The processes were endothermic and the thermodynamic parameters were evaluated. Desorption studies indicate that ion-exchange mechanism is operating.

In many drinking water treatment plants, chlorination process is one of the main techniques used for the disinfection of water. This disinfecting treatment leads to the formation of haloacetic acid (HAAs). In this study, headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) was studied as a possible alternative to liquid-liquid extraction for the analysis of HAAs in drinking water. The method involves direct derivatization of the acids to their methyl esters without methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) extraction, followed by HS-SPME with a $2cm-50/30{\mu}m$ divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane fiber. The effects of experimental parameters such as selection of SPME fiber, the volume of sulphuric acid and methanol, derivatization temperature and time, the addition of salts, extraction temperature and time, and desorption time on the analysis were investigated. Analytical parameters such as linearity, repeatability and limit of detection were also evaluated. The $2cm-50/30{\mu}m$-divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane fiber, sulphuric acid of 1ml, methanol of 3ml, derivatization temperature of $50^{\circ}C$ derivatization time of 2hrs, sodium chloride salt of 10g, extraction time of 30 minutes, extraction temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ and desorption time of 1 minute at $260^{\circ}C$ were selected as the optimal experimental conditions for the analysis of HAAs. The linearities ($r^2$), relative standard deviations (%RSD) and limits of detection (LOD) for HAAs were 0.9978~0.9991, 1.1~9.8% and $0.05{\sim}0.2{\mu}g/l$, respectively.

In this study, Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with GC/FID was studied as a possible alternative to liquid-liquid extraction for the analysis of BTEX and MTBE. Experimental parameters affecting the SPME process (such as kind of fibers, adsorption time, desorption time, volume ratio of sample to headspace, salt addition, and magnetic stirring) were optimized. Experimental parameters such as CAR/PDMS, adsorption time of 20 min, desorption time of 5 min at $250^{\circ}C$, headspace volume of 50 mL, sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration of 25% combined with magnetic stirring were selected in optimal experimental conditions for analysis of BTEX and MTBE. The general affinity of analytes to CAR/PDMS fiber was high in the order p-Xylene>Toluene>Ethylbenzene>MTBE>Benzene. The linearity of $R^2$ for BTEX and MTBE was from 0.970 to 0.999 when analyte concentration ranges from $30{\mu}g/L$ to $500{\mu}g/L$, respectively. The relative standard deviation (% RSD) were from 2.5% to 3.2% for concentration of $100{\mu}g/L$ (n=5), respectively. Finally, the limited of detection (LOD) observed in our study for BTEX and MTBE were from $7.5{\mu}g/L$ to $15{\mu}g/L$, respectively.

Urea-SCR system is currently regarded as promising NOx reduction technology for diesel engines. SCR system has to achieve maximal NOx conversion in combination with minimal $NH_3$ slip. In this study, model based open loop control for urea injection was developed and assessed in the European Transient Cycle (ETC) for heavy duty diesel engine. On the basis of the transient modeling, the kinetic parameters of the $NH_3$ adsorption and desorption are calibrated with the experimental results performed over the zeolite based catalyst. $NH_3$ storage or surface coverage of SCR catalyst can not be measured directly and has to be calculated, which is taken into account as a control parameter in this model. In order to reduce $NH_3$ slip while maintaining NOx reduction, $NH_3$ storage control algorithm was applied to correct the basic urea quantity. If the actual $NH_3$ surface coverage is higher than the maximal $NH_3$ surface coverage, the urea injection quantity is significantly reduced in the ETC cycle. By applying this logic, the resulting $NH_3$ slip peak can be avoided effectively. With optimizing the kinetic parameters based on standard SCR reaction, it suggests that a simplified, less accurate model can be effective to evaluate the capability of model based control in the ETC cycle.

The adsorption and desorption of Pb, Cd, Co, Zn, Cr, Co, Ni, and Mo on the waste Undaria sp. were studied. Except for Pb. the mono adsorption rate for all heavy metals were lower than that of the heavy metals mixed. However, the adsorption capacity of the heavy metals by 1g of biosorption, in mixed heavy metals increased According to FT-IR analysis of the biosorbent after heavy metal biosorption, the replacement of the functional group by the heavy metals ions could be confirmed and the inverted peaks became larger after heavy metals adsorption. The adsorption equilibrium of heavy metals was reached in about 1 hour. The equilibrium parameters were determined based on Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The affinity of metals on the biosorbent decreased in the following order: Pb>Cu>Cr>Cd>Co. The desorption rate decreased in the following sequence: NTA>$H_2SO_4$>HCl>EDTA. The desorption rate of heavy metals by NTA increased with increase in the concentration from 0.1 to 0.3% but the desorption rate became constant beyond 0.3%. Therefore, it represented that desorption rate of heavy metals was suitable under optimized condition ($30^{\circ}C$, pH 2 and 0.3% NTA solution) and was fast with 80% or more the uptake occurring within 10 min of contact time.
