In order to fad the most fitted biodegradation model, biodegradation kinetics model to the initial phenol and p-cresot concentrations were investigated and had been fitted by the linear regression. Bacteria capable of degrading p-cresol were isolated from soil by enrichment culture technique. Among them, strain Ml capable of degradillg p.rcresol has also degraded phenal and was identified as the genus Micrococcus from the results from of taxonomical studies. The optimal tonditlons for the biodegradation of phenal and p-cresol by Micrococcus sp. Ml were $NH_4NO_3$ 0.05%, pH 7.0, 3$0^{\circ}C$, respectively, and medium volume 100m1/250m1 shaking flask. iwicrococcus sp. Ml was able to grow on phenal concentration up to 14mM and p-cresol concelltration up to 0.8mM. With increasing substrate concentraction, the lag period increased, but the maximum specific growth rates decreased. The yield coefficient decreased with increasing substrate concentation. The biodegradation kinetics of phenol and p-cresol were best described by Monod with growth model for every experimented concentration. In cultivation of mixed substrate, p-cresol was degraded first and phenol was second. This result implies that p-cresol and phenol was not degraded simultaneously.

Room temperature kinetics of degradation of nerve agent simulants and sarin, an actual nerve agent at the surface of different carbon based adsorbent materials such as active carbon grade 80 CTC, modified whetlerite containing 2.0 and 4.0 % NaOH, active carbon with 4.0 % NaOH, active carbon with 10.0 % Cu (II) ethylenediamine and active carbon with 10.0 % Cu (II) 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate were studied. The used adsorbent materials were characterized for surface area and micropore volume by $N_2$ BET. For degradation studies solution of simulants of nerve agent such as dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), diethyl chlorophosphate (DEClP), diethyl cyanophosphate (DECnP) and nerve agent, i.e., sarin in chloroform were prepared and used for the uniform adsorption on the adsorbent systems using their incipient volume at room temperature. Degradation kinetics was monitored by GC/FID and was found to be following pseudo first order reaction. Kinetics parameters such as rate constant and half life were calculated. Half life of degradation with modified whetlerite (MWh/NaOH) system having 4.0 % NaOH was found to be 1.5, 7.9, 1206 and 20 minutes for DECnP, DEClP, DMMP and sarin respectively. MWh/NaOH system showed maximum degradation of simulants of nerve agents and sarin to their hydrolysis products. The reaction products were characterized using NMR technique. MWh/NaOH adsorbent was also found to be active against sulphur mustard.

Biodegradation of the endocrine-disrupting chemical di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) was investigated using a bacterium, Pseudomonas fluorescens B-1, isolated from mangrove sediment. The effects of temperature, pH, salinity, and oxygen availability on DBP degradation were studied. Degradation of DBP was monitored by solid-phase extraction using reversed-phase HPLC and UV detection. The major metabolites of DBP degradation were identified as mono-n-butyl phthalate and phthalic acid by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and a pathway of degradation was proposed. Degradation by P. fluorescens B-1 conformed to first-order kinetics. Degradation of DBP was also tested in seawater by inoculating P. fluorescens B-1, and complete degradation of an initial concentration of $100{\mu}g/l$ was achieved in 144 h. These results suggest that DBP is readily degraded by bacteria in natural environments.

가열에 의한 생배추 및 절임배추 조직의 동적변화를 Instron을 사용하여 puncture test로 측정연구하였다. $80^{\circ}C$ 범위의 저온에서 데치기와 살균하는 저온장시간 열처리 조작으로 배추 조직을 최대한 유지할 수 있을 것으로 생각되었다. 배추조직의 열에 의한 연화속도는 1차식으로 표현될수 있었다. 데치기 조작에서 $80^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 데치기한 경우 생배추 및 절임배추의 활성화 에너지는 각각 1.4 및 2.8kcal/mol, $80^{\circ}C$이상에서는 각각 31.5 및 42.4kcal/mol로서, $80^{\circ}C$ 이하에서는 배추조직의 연화속도가 온도의 영향을 크게 받지 않았다. 한편 예비열처리 조작인 데치기는 저온살균공정에서 배추조직의 연화에 큰 영향을 미쳐 $80^{\circ}C$이상에서 데치기한 배추는 다음 저온살균공정에서 열처리 온도에 민감하게 영향을 받았다.

3원계 U-Ce-O산화물의 소결거동을 연구하기 위하여 $UO_2$ 및 $CeO_2$분말을 ball-mill 방법으로 혼합한 (U, Ce)$O_2$의 영향이고, 나중에 나타나는 극대점은 $CeO_2$의 영향 때문이다. 또한 $Ceo_{2}$함량이 증가할수록 소결이 지연됨을 알수 있었다. 동일한 10wt. % $CeO_2$함량에서, 4시간동안 ball-milling을 하였을때가 소결속도는 가장 빨랐다.

Glycerol-3-phosphate cytidylyltransferase from Bacillus subtilis was modified with various chemical modifiers to determine the active sites of the enzyme. Treatment of the enzyme with group-specific reagents diethylpyrocarbonate, N-bromosuccinimide, or carbodiimide resulted in complete loss of enzyme activity, which shows histidine, tryptophan, and glutamic acid or aspartic acid residues are at or near the active site. In each case, inactivation followed pseudo first-order kinetics. Inclusion of glycerol-3-phosphate and/or CTP prevented the inactivation, indicating the presence of tryptophan and glutamic acid or aspartic acid residues at the substrate binding site. Analysis of kinetics of inactivation showed that the loss of enzyme activity was due to modification of a two histidine residues, single tryptophan residue, and two glutamic acid or aspartic acid residues.

The adsorption kinetics on a membrane filter have been studied by an introduction of acid or alkali in yttrium-90 solution. The change of the adsorption in the filtration process was determined by the filtrate activities with using a microsyringe filter holder connected with a syringe. The over all reaction rate obeyed a reversible first order reaction, and the rate constants thus obtained, showed the values of $k_1$ = 0.12 $sec^{-1}$ and $k_1'$ = 0.039 $sec^{-1}$. As a result of the present studies, it would be reasonable that the rate determining step of the adsorption reaction was the hydrolysis reaction of the adsorbed yttrium ions.

황산산성에서의 히드라진과 요오드의 반응에 대하여, 기체발생속도를 측정하였다. 이미 보고된 요오등의 소비속도의 경우와 마찬가지로, 히드라진 및 요오드의 농도에 관하여는 1차 반응이며, 반응속도는 요오드화이온의 농도에 역비례한다. 그뿐만 아니라, 요오드으이 소비속도롸 기체 발생속도가 거의 같으므로, 수명이 긴 중간물이 생기지 않는다고 결론지을 수 있다

Calcium oxide, lithium oxide and titanium oxide were investigated as additives of zinc oxide for the removal of hydrogen sulfide at high temperature. This experiment was performed in the range of 1.0-2.0 vol.% H$_2$S concentration at 623-873 K reaction temperature, using a thermogravimetric analyzer. A pore blocking model was found to fit the reaction rate and the kinetics data were sucessfully expressed by this model. The reactions between additive sorbents and hydrogen sulfide were first order with respect to hydrogen sulfide concentration in a gaseous mixture with nitrogen. Among the used sorbents, ZnO-CaO 0.5 at.% and ZnO-TiO$_2$ 2.0 at.% sorbents had the best additive effects on the sulfidation reaction between additive sorbents and hydrogen sulfide, whereas the ZnO-Li$_2$O sorbents were ineffective.

The analysis method nad stability test of antineoplaston A10, a new anticancer drug candidate, were established. A10 and phenylacetyl- L-glutamine, one of the degradation products, can be detected by high-performance liquid chromatography. The degradation kinetics of antineoplaston A10 in aqueous solutions from pH 1 to 10 buffers were carried out at 40, 50 and 60.deg.C. Pseudo-first order kinetics were obtained throughout the entire pH ranges studied. The pH-rate profiles showed that antineoplaston A10 was very unstable in alkaline conditions and most stable at pH 4.
