Kinetics and mechanism on the solvent extraction of nickel(Ⅱ) with 8-hydroxyquinoline (HOx) was studied spectrophotometrically. Absorbance variation was measured by changing the 8-hydroxyquinoline concentration in the chloroform organic phase and the pH values in the aquous phase. By analyzing absorbance data the reaction rate was found to be the first order for 8-hydroxyquinoline concentration and the inverse first one for [H$^+$]. Therefore the rate determining step of the extraction reaction is the formation of the one-to-one metal chelate NiOx$^+$ and the rate equation is as follows; -d[Ni$^{2+}$]/dt = k[Ni$^{2+}$][Ox$^-$] = k'[Ni$^{2+}$][HOx]$_0$/[H$^+$]. The value of k' was evaluated from the slope of plot of log [Ni$^{2+}$]$_0$/[Ni$^{2+}$]$_t$ versus time and the rate constant k was calculated according to the equation k' = k ${\times}$ K$_{HOx}$ / K$_{D,HOx}$. From the temperature dependence of the extraction rate, the activation energy E$_a$ = 6.26 kcal/mol is calculated, and activation parameters, ${\Delta}$G$^{\neq}_{298}$ = 6.59 kcal/mol, ${\Delta}$H$^{\neq}_{298}$ = 5.68 kcal/mol, ${\Delta}$S$^{\neq}_{298}$ = -3.09 eu/mol are estimated.

Chitosan is a polysaccharide of natural orgin obtained by full or partial deacetylation of chitin, a very abudant natural polymer, which has the properties of biocompatibilities, bioaffinities, and biodegradabilities. The free amino group of chitosan should be participated in forming chelate with holmium (${\beta}$-emitter). $^{166}Ho(NO_3)_3\;5H_2O$ of high radionuclidic purity of upto 99.9% was made by neutron irradiation of naturally occuring $^{166}Ho(NO_3)_3\;5H_2O$, and then reacted with the prepared chitosan solution. The effect of pH, reaction time, the concentration and viscosity of chitosan and the amount of $^{166}Ho$ on forming $^{166}Ho$-chitosan complex ($^{166}Ho$-CHICO) were investigated. $^{166}Ho$-chitosan macroaggregate($^{166}Ho$-CHIMA) was made from $^{166}Ho$-CHICO. Their physical properties such as radionuclidic purity, particle size distribution, stability in vitro and vivo were examined. Their high in vitro and vivo stability makes them attractive agents for internal radiotherapy by local administeration.

Penicillium sp. CB-20 was selected for strong polygalacturonase activity among various strains of molds found in soil. The optimum pH for the enzyme activity was 5.0 and optimum temperature was 4$0^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was relatively stable in acidic condition and unstable by heat treatment. The activation energy, Km and V$_{max}$ for the polygalacturonase were 2.499 Kcal/mol, 2.13$\times$10$^{-2}$mol/l, and 104.17 $\mu$mol/min. The activity of polygalacturonase was inhibited by Ag$^{+}$, Cu$^{++}$, Pb$^{++}$, Fe$^{+++}$, $Ca^{++}$, Na$^+$, Mn$^{++}$. The enzyme can be inactivated by the treatment ethylenediamintetra acetic acid, 2,4-dinitrophenol and $H_2O$$_2$. The results indicate the possible involvement of histidine, chelate and terminal amino group as active site. The enzyme was endo-type polygalacturonase.

In this study, the improved performance of sprayed green soil was evaluated by incorporating functional additives. The optimal mixing ratio of the thickener and super-absorbent polymer, as an additive for moisture supply to the growth of plants within the range of mixing ratios that gives sufficient strength of green soil, was 5% and 1%, respectively. Using Portland cement as a main binder, the pH of the green soil was 9.1. To solve this alkali problem, the mixing proportion was improved so that the pH of the green soil was approximately 7.2 by mixing more than 10% of the chelate resin. The soil conductivity was measured to be 280 ~ 350mS/m under all the mixing conditions. This satisfied the criterion of less than 1000mS/m on the slope surface. As a result of measuring the soil hardness of the green soil prepared under the optimal mixing conditions of functional additives, it satisfied the criteria of 18 ~ 23mm when sprayed under a 1 bar pressure. The rebound rate was less than 15% when spraying green soil on a 75 % slope, and the hardness of the sprayed green soil was more than 18 mm.

The combination of nanoparticle with radioisotope could give the in vivo information with high sensitivity and specificity. However, radioisotope labeling of nanoparticle is very difficult and radioisotopes have different physicochemical properties, so the radioisotope selection of nanoparticle should be carefully considered. $^{18}F$ was first option to be considered for labeling of nanoparticle. For the labeling of $^{18}F$ with nanoparticle, Prosthetic group is widely used. Iodine, another radioactive halogen, is often used. Since radioiodine isotopes are various, they can be used for different imaging technique or therapy in the same labeling procedures. $^{99m}Tc$ can easily be obtained as pertechnatate ($^{99m}{TcO_4}^-$) by commercial generator. Ionic $^{68}Ga$ (III) in dilute HCl solution is also obtained by generator system, but $^{68}Ga$ can be substituted for $^{67}Ga$ because of the short half-life (67.8 min). $^{64}Cu$ emits not only positron but also ${\beta}-particle$. Therefore $^{64}Cu$ can be used for imaging and therapy at the same time. These radioactive metals can be labeled with nanoparticle using the bifunctional chelator. $^{89}Zr$ has longer half-life (78.4 h) and is used for the longer imaging time. Unlike different metals, $^{89}Zr$ should use the other chelate such as DFO, 3,4,3-(LI-1,2-HOPO) or DFOB.

A comparative study has been carried out on the removal of impurities such As, Sb, Bi from the copper sulfate solution by ion exchange resin containing aminophosphosphonic acid as functional group. The various parameters which affect the removal of impurities; such as the reaction temperature, the reaction time, the amount of ion-exchange resins, the concentration of sulfuric acid in electrolyte, were studied. The basic experimental results showed that about 88% of Sb & 94% of Bi can be adsorbed in these chelate resins and removed from the copper sulfate solutions but As was removed below 10% from the solutions. And the selective elution of Bi and Sb from the adsorbed ion exchange resin also can be achieved by $H_2SO_4$ or HCl solutions. The results also showed that 98.1% of Sb and 96.6% of Bi can be adsorbed from the copper sulfate solutions after 2 Bed-volume of continuous ion exchange column test.

The structure of cis-(malonato)[(4R,5R)-4,5-bis(aminomethyl)-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane]platinum(II) with a potent anticancer activity has been determined by the X-ray crystallographic method. Crystal data are as follows: Pt(C/sub 11/H/sub 20/N₂O/sub 6/), M/sub 4/=471.38, monoclinic, P2₁, a=7.112(1), b=33.615(3), c=7.135(1)Å, β=116.80(1)°, V=1522.6(3)Å, and Z=4. The two independent molecules with very similar structures are approximately related by pseudo two-fold screw axis symmetry, which makes the monolinic cell look like the orthorhombic cell with one molecule in the asymmetric unit and space group C222₁. The crystal packing mode is similar to that of the analogue with the dimethyl substituents instead of the isopropyl group. The Pt atom is coordinate to two O and two N atoms in a square planar structure. The six-membered chelate ring in the leaving ligand assumes a conformation intermediate between the half chair and the boat forms. The seven-membered ring in the carrier ligand assumes a twist-chair conformation and the oxolane ring assumes an envelope conformation. Crystal packing consists of the extensive hydrogen-bonding network in the two-dimensional molecular layers and weak van der Waals interactions between these layers.

Uranium has variable oxidation states(${UO_2}^{+2}$, $UO^{+2}$, $U^{+4}$, $U^{+3}$) and 1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-naphthol forms a very stable chelate with Uranium(${UO_2}^{+2}$). The determination method of Uranium(${UO_2}^{+2}$) in 0.1M Borate buffer(pH 7.10) has been investigated by adsorptive stripping voltammetry. The optimum conditions were PAN concentration of $5{\times}10^{-7}M$, accumulation potential of 0.00V(vs. Ag/AgCl) and accumulation time of 120sec. The calibration curve was linear over the range of $5{\sim}60{\mu}g/L$ and the various metal ions did not interfere with the determination Uranium(${UO_2}^{+2}$) except Cu(II) and Co(II).

We present the synthesis and characterization of DTPA-bis(histidylamide) (1a), DTPA-bis(aspartamide) (1b), and their gadolinium complexes of the type $[Gd(L)(H_2O)]$ (2a:L = 1a; 2b:L = 1b). Thermodynamic stabilities and $R_1$ relaxivities of 2a-b compare well with Omniscan$^{(R)}$, a well-known commercial, extracellular (ECF) MRI CA which adopts the DTPA-bis(amide) framework for the chelate: $R_1$ = 5.5 and 5.1 $mM^{-1}$ for 2a and 2b, respectively. Addition of the Cu(II) ion to a solution containing 2b triggers relaxivity enhancement to raise $R_1$ as high as 15.3 $mM^{-1}$, which corresponds to a 300% enhancement. Such an increase levels off at the concentration beyond two equiv. of Cu(II), suggesting the formation of a trimetallic ($Gd/Cu_2$) complex in situ. Such a relaxivity increase is almost negligible with Zn(II) and other endogenous ions such as Na(I), K(I), Mg(II), and Ca(II). In vivo MR images and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) obtained with an aqueous mixture of 2b and Cu(II) ion in an 1:2 ratio demonstrate the potentiality of 2 as a copper responsive MRI CA.

Biogas is a gaseous mixture produced from microbial digestion of organic materials in the absence of oxygen. Raw biogas, depending upon organic materials, digestion time and process conditions, contains about 45-75% methane, 30-50% carbon dioxide, 0.3% of hydrogen sulfide gas and fraction of water vapor. To achieve the standard composition of the biogas the treatment techniques like absorption or membrane separation was performed for the resourcing of biogas. In this paper the experimental results of the methane purification in simulated biogas mixture consisted of methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide were presented. The composite membrane is manufactured within polysulfone in order to increase the separation performances for the gaseous mixtures of $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ which are main components of the biogas. The effects of feed pressures and mixed gas on the separation of $CO_2-CH_4$ by membrane are investigated. Chelate chemical was utilized to treat the purification of methane from the $H_2S$ concentration of 0.3%.
