A study on the solvent extraction of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions has been investigated. The results showed that the extraction efficiency of chromium increased in proportion to extractant concentration. Aliquat 336 of quarternary amine effectively extracted hexavalent chromium and was superior to Alamine 336. And the stabilizers like polyhydric alcohols of octanol, decanol and dodecanol showed the similar effect fur prevention of third phase and a little promotion of extraction efficiency in comparison with non-use of polyhydric alcohols. On the other hand, in solvent extraction of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions, the hexavalent chromium was completely extracted at pH range lower than 7 with 1% Aliquat 336 as extractant and 5% decanol as stabilizer and the hexavalent chromium in extractant was completely stripped with 1M sodium hydroxide solution in the stripping step.

Extraction behaviour of silver from nitric acid solutions by Cyanex 301 as an extractant was examined. Detailed studies have been conducted to evaluate the effect of different variables influencing the extraction such as concentration of nitric acid and extractant, phase ratio(O/A) and synergism of mixed extractant. The extraction behaviour of associated metals namely Ca, Al, Fe, Zn and Sr has been investigated. The extraction results show that Ag can be extracted effectively by Cyanex 301 and selectively extracted from 3.0M $HNO_3$ using 5% Cyanex 301. Impurity metals loaded in organic phase can be effective scrubbed by 4.0M HCl. Finally, pure silver solution can be obtained efficiently by thiourea as a stripping reagent.

A study on the behavior of boron extraction by TMPD(2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol) was carried out to find the optimum conditions for the boron extraction from brine. In case of boron extraction from 0.736 g/L boron-containing brine, typical optimum extractive conditions would be confirmed to be 0.75 mol/L of extractant concentration at 3.0 pH of brine with 1 of phase ratio and 20 min. of shaking time at 298 K respectively. And 1 mol/L sodium hydroxide of stripping agent was shown above 99 % of boron extraction and stripping efficiencies. Also, extraction equilibrium equation were obtained through experiments as follows : log D = 1.7 log $[TMPD]_O$ + constant at pH < 6.

Crop safety in heavy metal contaminated agricultural field has been a critical issue in Korea and various remediation methods are proposed for minimizing heavy metal transfer from soil to crops. The main objective of this research was to evaluate remediation efficiency of two chemical amendments, lime and steel slag, and to decide extractant for assessing bioavailability of heavy metals. In order to select optimum extractant for evaluating bioavailability of heavy metals, four different single extractants, HCl, DTPA, $CaCl_2$, $NH_4NO_3$, and sequential extraction method were examined. Both chemical amendments showed high immobilization effect for Cd (66%, $33.62mg\;kg^{-1}$) and Pb (74%, $27.65mg\;kg^{-1}$) in soil by HCl extractant. In terms of heavy metal concentration in rice grains, concentrations for Cd (77%, $0.023mg\;kg^{-1}$) and Pb (82%, $0.039mg\;kg^{-1}$) decreased, with addition of chemical amendments. HCl, DTPA, and sequential extractant showed the higher correlation between heavy metal concentration in soil and crops than others. These results indicated that they could be used for assessing bioavailability of heavy metals.

The extraction conditions for resveratrol production from grape fruit stem, which is a by-product of grape processing, were optimized to develop high-functional grape-based products. Additionally, the bioefficacy of grape fruit stem extract (GFSE) as an antioxidant agent was evaluated. Resveratrol was extracted using various experimental conditions such as extractant type, extractant concentration, raw material-extractant ratio, extraction time and temperature, and the results were analyzed using a statistical program (SPSS). The resveratrol yield was the highest when 80% ethanol with a raw-material-extractant ratio of 1:10 (w/v) was used. In addition, the optimal temperature and time were selected as $60^{\circ}C$ and 90 min, respectively. When the antioxidant activity was analyzed and expressed as DPPH radical scavenging activity and SOD-like activity, the antioxidant activity of GFSE was higher than that of BHT, BHA and L-ascorbic acid. Finally, it was found that GFSE could be used as a raw material for the production of high antioxidant agents.

PS-D2EHPA beads were prepared by immobilizing di-2-ethylhexyl-phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) with polysulfone (PSf). The removal experiments of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by the prepared PS-D2EHPA beads were conducted batchwise. The removal efficiency of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by PS-D2EHPA beads was increased with increasing pH of solution. The removal rate of Cu(II) and Pb(II) was well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum removal capacity of Cu(II) and Pb(II) obtained from Langmuir isotherm were 2.58 mg/g and 12.63 mg/g, respectively. External mass transfer coefficients for the removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by PS-D2EHPA beads were obtained $0.61{\times}10^{-2}{\sim}5.87{\times}10^{-2}/min$ and $1.55{\times}10^{-2}{\sim}8.53{\times}10^{-2}/min$, respectively and diffusion coefficients were obtained $1.32{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}3.98{\times}10^{-4}cm^2/min$ and $1.80{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}2.28{\times}10^{-4}cm^2/min$, respectively.

Lactic acid is of interested as the raw material of biodegradable polymer. In this study lactic acid was separated by reactive extraction with mixed tertiary amine extractant dissolved in 1-octanol/n-heptane. Mixed tertiary amine extractant was composed of tripropylamine(TPA) and trioctylamine(TOA). The concentration range of lactic acid is ca. 5wt% which is the concentration of lactic acid obtained from fermentation.Maximum distribution coeficient was obtained at 8:2 weight ratio of TPA/TOA and their extraction efficiencies were above 90%.

This study was carried out to explore the most sensitive and useful method for simultaneous determination of five sulfa drugs(sulfamethazine, sulfamerazine, sulfamonomethoxine, sulfadimethoxine, sulfaquinoxaline) in livestock productions(pork muscle, bovine muscle, chicken muscle, milk ) by HPLC with UV detector and reverse phase column. The results obtained were as follows：1. For mobile phase acetonitrile-0.01M ammonium acetate (23：77) showed more applicable sensitivity and retention times than acetonitrile-1% acetic acid(23：77). Thus acetonitrile-0.01M ammonium acetate(23：77) selected and applied to the modification test, from which it was found pH 6.75 was the most adequate. 2. Optimal wavelength of UV for SMT(sulfamethazine), SMR(sulfamerazine), SMM(sulfamonomethoxine), SD(sulfadimethoxine), and SQ(sulfaquinoxaline) were 266, 266, 265, 269 and 250nm, respectively, and that for simultaneous application it was 263nm. 3. The average recovery rate by extractant(chloroform, dichloromethane, chlorform+dich-loromethane) in the classic method was not significantly different(p>0.05) but that by chloroform higher than the others. Thus chloroform was found to be adequate as extractant in this classic method. 4. The average recovery rate was 86.5% by the MSPD(matrix solid phase disperse) method, which was significantly higher than that by the classic method(p<0.05). Also the recovery rates by method were significantly different(p<0.05) in accordance with sample and type of drug. The MSPD method was much superior to classic method on clean-up.
