Green Leaf Volatiles (GLVs) is a class of biogenically emitted oxygenated hydrocarbons that have been identified as a potential source of Secondary Organic Aerosols (SOA) via aqueous oxidation. The physico-chemical properties of GLVs are vital to understanding their fate and transport in the atmosphere via fog processing, but few experimental data are available. We studied the aqueous solubility, 1-octanol/water partition coefficient, and Henry's law constant ($K_H$) of five GLVs at $25^{\circ}C$: methyl jasmonate, methyl salicylate, 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol, cis-3-hexen-1-ol, and cis-3-hexenyl acetate. Henry's law constant was also measured at temperatures and ionic strengths typical of fog. Experimental values are compared to scarcely-available literature values, as well as estimations using group and bond contribution methods, property-specific correlations and molecular dynamics simulations. From these values, the partition coefficients to the air-water interface were also calculated. The large Henry's law constant of methyl jasmonate ($8091{\pm}1121M{\cdot}atm^{-1}$) made it the most significant GLV for aqueous phase photochemistry. The HENRYWIN program's bond contribution method from the Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EPI Suite) produced the best estimate of the Henry's constant for GLVs. Estimations of 1-octanol/water partition coefficient and solubility are best when correlating an experimental value of one to find the other. Finally, the scavenging efficiency was calculated for each GLV indicating aqueous phase processing will be most important for methyl jasmonate.

In order to estimate the mass transfer characteristics of absorption into alcohol solution of aroma compounds such as cineol, myrecene and pinene which are major aroma compounds of rosemary, dimensionless Henry's constant in 70% ethyl alcohol concentration and aroma concentration with different ethyl alcohol concentration were analyzed. From the results of measurement of vapor phase concentration of aroma compounds with different ethyl alcohol concentration, headspace concentrations of all of three aroma compounds were decreased as ethyl alcohol concentration increased. But those patterns were slightly different. Dimensionless Henry's constant equation (Hi) of cineol compound with ethyl alcohol concentration (x) was as follows: $Hi=(-5.75+x)/(-7017.6+257.3{\times}x)$. Dimensionless Henry's constants of cineol, myrecene and pinene in 1 atm, $25^{\circ}C$ and 70% ethyl alcohol concentration were 0.0058, 0.0182 and 0.0365, respectively.

Hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) is mainly produced along with methane and hydrocarbons in many gas fields as well as hydrodesulfurization processes of crude oils containing sulfur compounds and the emission of $H_2S$ has a considerable effect on both environmental problem and human health aspects due to formation of, e.g. acid rain and smog. In recent years, ionic liquids (ILs) have been proposed as the most promising solvents for $CO_2$ and hazardous pollutants capture, such as $H_2S$ and sulfur dioxide ($SO_2$). In this work, we demonstrate the use of the predictive COSMO-SAC model for the prediction of Henry's law constant of $H_2S$ in ILs. Furthermore, the method is used to screen for potential IL candidates for $H_2S$ capture from a set of 2,624 ILs formed from 82 cations and 32 anions. The effects of cation on the Henry's law constant of $H_2S$ such as (i) the variation of the alkyl chain length on cation, (ii) the substituent of methyl group ($-CH_3$) for H in C(2) position and (iii) the change of ring structure for cation family are clearly predicted by COSMO-SAC model.

Precipitated silicas modified by aluminium were characterised using inverse liquid chromatography in anhydrous heptane with squalene as probes. Their monolayer capacities of adsorption, Langmuir's and Henry's constants were determined from the desorption isotherms according to frontal analysis. A narrow band consisting of isotherms was observed. The introduction of aluminium has little influence on the monolayer capacity, Langmuir's constants and the Henry constant. Experimental data show that neither the amounts of aluminium on the silica nor the methods of the introduction of aluminium into the silica influence the interactions between the squalene and the silicas.

The temperature accelerated dielectric breakdown strength of on-wafer low-k dielectric polymer films with thicknesses ranging from 94 nm to 1141 nm is investigated by using the current-voltage characteristic measurements with MIS structures. The temperature dependence of dielectric strength is demonstrated to be Arrhenious for all thicknesses. However, the activation energy is found to be strongly thickness dependent. It follows an exponential relationship rather than being a single value, i.e., the activation energy increase significantly as film thickness increases for the thickness below 500 nm, but it is almost constant for the thickness above 500 nm. This relationship suggests that the change of the activation energy corresponding to different film thickness is closely related to the temperature dependence of the electron trapping/detrapping process in polymer thin films, and is determined by both the trapping rate and the detrapping rate. Thinner films need less energy to form a conduction path compared to thicker films. Hence, it leads to smaller activation energy in thinner films, and the activation energy increases with the increase in film thickness. However, a nearly constant value of the activation energy is achieved above a certain range of film thickness, indicating that the trapping rate and detrapping rate is almost equal and eventually the activation energy approaches the value of bulk material.

An oil layer fuel absorption /desorption modeling was developed. Multi-component fuel model has showed more reasonable condition than single component model. Henry's constant which is related to solubility is the most important variable in the oil layer absorption/desorption mechanism. The oil segments close to the top of the cylinder liner have more significant contribution to the fuel absorption and desorption process than other oil segments. At the warmed-up condition, the effect of the engine speed on the precent fuel absorbed/desorbed is minimal. But at low il film temperature, percent of fuel abosrbed/desorbed is decreased with increasing the engine speed because of low value of molecular diffusion coefficient of fuel. The amount of fuel trapped in the piston crevice is from 2 to 2.3 times larger than that of fuel in the oil fim. However, fuel form oil film slowly desorbs into the combustion chamber compared with fuel from the piston crevices when the engines is cold.

A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) system coated with poly (isobutylene), polystyrene, and poly (methyl methacrylate) has been prepared to measure the adsorption amounts of benzene, toluene, and p-xylene at very low pressures. The resonant frequency shift of the QCM system is proportional to the increase in pressure in all experiments. The Henry's constants for all adsorbates on the polymer films are obtained from experimental data and compared with the minimum adsorption potential energies between adsorbates and the polymer films. In general, there is an explicit correlation between adsorption amount and the minimum adsorption potential energy.

The thermodynamic models, PC-SAFT (Perturbed-Chain Statistical Associated Fluid Theory) state equation and the Two-model approach liquid activity coefficient model NRTL (Non Random Two Liquid) + Henry + Peng-Robinson, for modeling the Rectisol process using methanol aqueous solution as the $CO_2$ removal solvent were compared. In addition, to determine the new binary interaction parameters of the PC-SAFT state equations and the Henry's constant of the two-model approach, absorption equilibrium experiments between carbon dioxide and methanol at 273.25K and 262.35K were carried out and regression analysis was performed. The accuracy of the newly determined parameters was verified through the regression results of the experimental data. These model equations and validated parameters were used to model the carbon dioxide removal process. In the case of using the two-model approach, the methanol solvent flow rate required to remove 99.00% of $CO_2$ was estimated to be approximately 43.72% higher, the cooling water consumption in the distillation tower was 39.22% higher, and the steam consumption was 43.09% higher than that using PC-SAFT EOS. In conclusion, the Rectisol process operating under high pressure was designed to be larger than that using the PC-SAFT state equation when modeled using the liquid activity coefficient model equation with Henry's relation. For this reason, if the quantity of low-solubility gas components dissolved in a liquid at a constant temperature is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas phase, the carbon dioxide with high solubility in methanol does not predict the absorption characteristics between methanol and carbon dioxide.

Benzoyl peroxide is a High Production Volume Chemical, which is produced about 1,375 tons/year in Korea as of 2001 survey. The substance is mainly used as initiators in polymerization, catalysts in the plastics industry, bleaching agents for flour and medication for acne vulgaris. The substance is one of seven chemicals of which human health and environmental risks are being assessed by National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER) under the frame of OECD SIDS Program. In this study, Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR) is used for getting adequate information on the physical-chemical property and the environmental fate of this chemical. For the assessment of benzoyl peroxide, models such as MPBPWIN for vapor pressure, KOWWIN for octanol/water partition coefficient, HENRYWIN for Henry's Law constant, AOPWIN for photolysis and BCFWN for bioconcentration factor (BCF) were used. These (Q)SAR model programmes were worked by using the SHILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System) notations. The physical-chemical properties and the environmental fate of benzoyl peroxide were estimated as followed : vapor pressure =0.00929 Pa, Log Kow = 3.43, Henry's Law constant = 0.00000354 atm-㎥/mole at 25 $^{\circ}C$, the half-life of photodegradation = 3 days, bioconcentration factor (BCF) = 92
