To understand the abnormal absorption behavior of rare earths in cation exchange resins, the absorption for Ce(III), Tb(III) and $Cl^-$ ions in Dowex 50W-X2 have been investigated by spectrophotometry in the concentration range of $1{\sim}12$ M HCI and $HCl-HClO_4$ mixed solutions. The amount of $Cl^-$ ion absorbed shows that the ratio of amount of $Cl^-$ ions to that of rare earths does not exceed 10% in the concentration range of $6{\sim}8M$ HCl and decreased gradually to 3% at 2M HCl and 6% at 12M HCl. The ratio is further decreased with the fraction of $HClO_4$ in $HCl-HClO_4$ mixed solutions and the decrease is presumably due to the weak tendency to form a complex between rare earths and $Cl^-$ ions in a cation exchange resin. The effect of $ClO_4^-$ is expected to play a more important role than that of $Cl^-$ ions in the large absorption of rare earths.

Etching kinetics of $EAGLE^{2000TM}$ LCD glass was investigated using 2.5MHF-xMHCl$(x:0\sim8)$ acid mixtures. It was concluded that the reaction of HF-containing solutions with the glass was the rate-determining step for the dissolution process when considering following observations; the value of the activation energy $35\sim45$ kJ/mol and insensitivity of the dissolution rate to the etching time and the moving velocity of the glass into the solution. The etching rate linearly increased with increasing the HCl concentration in the etchant. It was also observed that the etched surface was as smooth as the original surface by addition of HCl and increase in etching temperature. This is due to the catalytic role of the $H_{3}O^{+]$ ions in the dissolution process.

Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is a disinfectant widely used in hospitals and food industries because of its antimicrobial activity against not only bacteria but also fungi and virus. The antibacterial activity of NaClO lies in the maintenance of a stable hypochlorous acid (HClO) concentration, which is regulated by pH of the solution. HClO can easily penetrate bacterial cell membrane due to its chemical neutrality and the antibacterial activity of NaClO is thought to depend on the concentration of HClO in solution rather than hypochlorite ions (ClO^-). In this study, we investigated the antibacterial activity of NaClO according to pH adjustment by means of time kill test and assays of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration changes before and after NaClO treatment. We also investigated that the degree of cell wall destruction through field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) exposed to 5 ppm NaClO at pH 5 exhibited 99.9% mortality. ROS production at pH 5 was 48% higher than that produced at pH 7. In addition, the ATP concentration in E. coli and S. aureus exposed to pH 5 decreased by 94% and 91%, respectively. As a result of FE-SEM, it was confirmed that the cell wall was destroyed in the bacteria by exposing to pH 5 NaClO. Taken together, our results indicate that the antibacterial activity of 5 ppm NaClO can be improved simply by adjusting the pH.

Simultaneous removal technology of particulate/NOx/SOx/HCl using CuO/3Al$_2$O$_3$ㆍ2SiO$_2$catalyst impregnated ceramic candle filters is an advanced air pollution process and provides significantly to reduce hazardous gases emitted from coal-fired power plant. This process uses a high-temperature catalytic filter for integrating SOx and HCl reduction through injection an alkali sorbent (such as hydrated lime or sodium bicarbonate), NOx removal through ammonia injection and selective catalytic reduction (SCR), and particulate collection on the catalytic filter surface. The advantages of the process include : compact integration of the emission control technologies into a single component; easy handling of dry sorbent and by-product; and improved SCR catalytic life due to lowered SOx, HCl and particulate levels. CuO/3Al$_2$O$_3$ㆍ2SiO$_2$ catalyst impregnated ceramic candle filters showed a possibility of simultaneous treatment from results which have ascertained high removal efficiency at various combined gases conditions, and in pilot plant test for 3 months, NO conversion was showed 90% over.

SiO$_2$ and PDMS/SiO$_2$ xerogels which are derived PDMS into TEOS have been synthesized by sol-gel process and controlled pore size and distribution through 2 step acid/base catalyzed processes using HCI and NH$_4$OH as a catalyst. In HCl catalyzed SiO$_2$ and PDMS/SiO$_2$ xerogels, pH and gellation time of xerogel were 2.3~2.5 and 12~13 days, respectively, and the shape of xerogel was identified to pellet type and column type. Under acidic condition of final reaction solution, the hydrolysis rate is accelerating, resulting in long gel times. The shape of xerogel is pellet type. In contrast, under less acidic condition, the condensation rate is accelerating, resulting in shorter gel times and the shape of xerogel is column type. The surface area and average Pore size were changed 400$\rightarrow$600($\m^2$/g) and 15$\rightarrow$28$\AA$, respectively, depending to the increase of the mole ratio of HCl/NH$_4$OH, and represented uniform pore size distribution. It is that all the alkoxide groups are hydrolyzed by HCl after the first step and the condensation rate is enhanced by NH$_4$OH. The regular backbone structures of silica are formed at low temperature and the uniform pores are produced by heat treatment.

Hydrochloric acid salt of a new $N_2O_3$ pentadentate ligand, N,N'-Bis(2-Hydroxybenzyl)-1,3-diamino-2-propanol(H-BHDP 2HCl) was synthesized. Br-BHDP 2HCl, CI-BHDP 2HCl, $CH_3-BHDP$ 2HCl and $CH_3O$-BHDP 2HCl having Br, Cl, $CH_3$ and $CH_3O$ substituents at 5-position of the phenol group of H-BHDP 2HCl were also synthesized. The potentiometry study in aqueous solution revealed that the proton dissociations of the synthesized ligands occurred in four steps and their order of the calculated overall proton dissociation constants($log{\beta}_p$) was Br-BHDP < Cl-BHDP < H-BHDP < $CH_3O-BHDP$ < $CH_3-BHDP$. The order showed a similar trend to that of Hammett substituent constants(${\delta}_p$). The order of the stability constants($logK_{ML}$) was Co(II) < Ni(II) < Cu(II) < Zn(II) < Cd(II) < Pb(II). The order in their stability constants ($logK_{ML}$) of each transition metal complex agreed with that of the overall proton dissociation constants ($log{\beta}_p$).

The separation of Zr-95 and Nb-95 from the other fission products is possible under the migration condition of 0.1 $M-HClO_4$ (pH=0.85), 0.05 M-HCl+0.09M-KCl (pH=0.9), 0.1M-HCl (pH=1.1) and 0.01 M-HCl (pH=2.0). Zr-95 and Nb-95 are separated out at+1cm from the fiducial point. The separation of Zr-95 and Nb-95 from each other is possible under the migration condition of 0.1 $M-HClO_4$, 0.05 M-HCl+0.09 M-KCl, 0.1 M-HCl and 0.1 M-HAc+0.1 M-NaAc (pH=4.68) together with 2% ammonium oxalate. Nb-95 is separated out at $-6{\sim}-7cm$ from the fiducial point and Zr-95 at $+1{\sim}-lcm$.

This study is aimed at investigating an effect of HCl gas on selective reduction of NOx over a CuHM and $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst. SCR process is the most effective method to remove NOx, but catalyst can be deactivated by the acidic gas such as HCl gas which is also included in flue gas from the incinerator. In dry condition of flue gas, the CuHM catalyst treated by HCl gas has shown higher NO removal activity than the fresh catalyst. The activity of the catalyst can be restored by treating at $500^{\circ}C$. On the contrary. $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst is obviously deactivated by HCl and the deactivation increases in proportion to the concentration of HCl gas. The deactivated catalyst is not restored to it's original activity by heat treatment for regeneration. In wet flue gas stream, the CuHM catalyst has shown lower activity than fresh catalyst and $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst was severely deactivated by HCl treatment. The activity loss of catalysts are mainly due to the decrease of Br$\ddot{o}$nsted acid site on the catalyst surface by $NH_3$ TPD. The change of BET surface area of CuHM catalyst after the reaction isn't observed but $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst is observed. The amount of $Cu^{{+}{+}}$ and $V_2O_5$ is decreased after the reaction. From these results, it is expected that CuHM catalyst should be better than $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst for its application to the incineration of flue gas.

Numerical simulations of counterflow non-premixed $CH_4/C_2HCl_3/Air$ flames added 8%(by volume) C2HCl3 on the fuel side are conducted at atmospheric pressure using a detailed chemical reaction mechanism in order to understand the effect of strain rates. A detailed sensitivity analysis is also performed in order to assess the relative influence of each reaction on the flame established at a strain rate of 200s-1. The structure of flames (i.e., temperature, velocity, and concentration of species) established at both a strain rate of 150s-1 and 300s-1 are investigated. As the strain rate increases, the "flame zone" is restricted to a narrower range and the position of maximum temperature is shifted to the fuel side. The concentrations of major species, H2O, CO, H2, HCl, Cl2, and Cl are decreased with increased strain rate. The reaction involving chlorine, CH4 + Cl $\rightarrow$ CH3 + HCl, instead of the reaction, CH4 + H $\rightarrow$ CH3 + H2 influences the consumption of methane. C2HCl3 + OH $\rightarrow$ CHCl2 + CHOCl and HCl + OH $\rightarrow$ H2O + Cl, are major reactions, through which OH radicals are consumed.
