The effect of lipoxygenase (LOX) on the oxidation and co-oxidation of lipid fraction was studied in the model system of rainbow trout. For the reaction in model system 1 g of lipid fraction and 50mL of enzyme extract(LOX, 140 unit in 50mL phosphate buffer solution at pH 7,4)), which were obtained from rainbow trout, were homoginized in the presence of Tween 20 and kept at 23$\circ$C for 3 days. The activity of LOX was decreased to 43% of initial level during the reaction in the model system. The initial composition of rainbow trout lipid was showed to be consisted of trigliceride(TG;82%) and free fatty acid(FFA;0.1%), while this converted to 59% of TG and 20% of FIFA, respectively after reaction in model system. Change of fatty acid composition was also observed and the content of linoleic acid, one of the major fatte acids, was decreased to 13% from 54% in the content of total fatty acids after reaction. The carotenoids in rainbow trout were composed of 0.4% $\alpha$-carotene, 1.6% $\beta$ -carotene, 80% canthaxanthin, 7% lutein and 11% zeaxanthin, thus the canthaxanthin was the major component. This canthaxanthin was the most degraded carotenoid by lipoxygenase catalyzed co-oxidation during the reaction. On the other hand the tocopherol isomers found in the rainbow trout were $\alpha$ and $\beta$ -tocopherol, and $\alpha$-tocopherol had a higher degradation rate by the lipoxygenase catalyzed co-oxidation than of $\beta$-tocopherol in the reaction of model system.

The effects of reaction temperature, SO2 and CO2 concentration in an air gas stream, particle sizes of limestone on the reactivity and capacity of SO2 removal have been determined in a thermogravimetric analyser(TGA). The apparent reaction order of sulfation reaction of pre-calcined lime(CaO) with respect to SO2 is found to be close to unity. The apparent activation energies are found to be 17,000 kcal/kmol for sulfation of pre-calcined lime and 19,500 kcal/kmol for direct sulfation of limestone(CaCO3). The initial sulfation reaction rate of pre-calcined lime increases with increasing temperature, whereas the sulfur capture capacity exhibits a maximum value at 90$0^{\circ}C$. In direct sulfation of limestone, sulfation reactivity and sulfur capature capacity of sorbent increase with increasing temperature and decreasing CO2 concentration in a gas bulk stream. The main pare of pre-calcined lime is shifted to the larger pore sizes and pore volume decreases with increasing sulfation time and temperature. The surface area of lime decreases with increasing calcination temperature under an air atmosphere, whereas is yearly constant under a CO2(5, 10%) atmosphere in a gas stream.

The adsorption features of $Ni^{2+}$ onto spent alkaline manganese batteries powder have been investigated with the adsorbent dose, initial concentration of adsorbate and temperature as the experimental variables. The adsorption reaction of $Ni^{2+}$ ion followed the pseudo-second order rate model, and the adsorption rate constants($k_2$) decreased with increasing initial concentration of nickel ion. The equilibrium adsorption data were fitted to the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The Freundlich model represents the equilibrium data better than the Langmuir model in this initial adsorbate concentration range. As the temperature increased, the adsorbed amount of nickel ion at equilibrium was also increased, which indicated that the adsorption reaction was endothermic. Based on the experimental results obtained along with temperatures, thermodynamic parameters such as ${\Delta}H^{\circ},\;{\Delta}G^{\circ},\;and\;{\Delta}S^{\circ}$ were calculated.

Theoretical analysis of HF chemical laser models are performed through chemical reaction kinetics, gain process and stimulated emission process. A chemical laser of F+$H_2$ nonchain reaction is investigated through V-R transitions of excited HF for vibrational levels up to v = 3 and rate equations including nonchain pumping and deactivation. On this analysis, harmonic and anharmonic vibrational levels are considered separately and the results of the corresponding power calculations are showed very small difference between the two. Output powers are calculated with variation of temperature and initial concentrations of $H_2$. A HF chemical laser of $H_2$+$F_2$ chain reaction is also simulated with a premixed initial condition. Results of present model calculations are satisfactory through comparison with detailed calculations reported by others.

The Kroll process for magnesium reduction of titanium tetrachloride is used for mass production of titanium sponge. The present study was conducted in a lab scale reactor to develop a better understanding of the mechanism of titanium sponge formation in the Kroll reactor with respect to reaction degrees and the feeding rate of $TiCl_4$. The $MgCl_2$ produced during the initial stage of the reaction was not sunk into the molten magnesium, but covered the surface of the molten magnesium. As a result, subsequently fed $TiCl_4$ reacted with Mg exposed on the edge of molten $MgCl_2$ in the crucible. Therefore, titanium sponge grew toward the center of the crucible from the edge. The temperature of the molten magnesium increased remarkably with the increasing feeding rate of $TiCl_4$. Consequently, fed $TiCl_4$ reacted at the upper side of the crucible with evaporated Mg, and produced titanium on the upper surface of the crucible wall, which increased considerably with the feeding rate of $TiCl_4$.

The degradation characteristics of 2-chlorophenol(2-CP) by Ferrate(VI) were studied. The degradation efficiency of 2-CP in aqueous solution was investigated at various values of pH, Fe(VI) dosage, initial concentration and aqueous solution temperature. The maximum degradation efficiencies of 2-CP were obtained at pH 7.0 and aqueous solution temperature of 25$^{\circ}C$. The degradation efficiency was proportional to dosage of Fe(VI). Also, the initial rate constant of 2-CP degradation increased with decreasing of the 2-CP initial concentration. In addition, the degradation pathway study for 2-CP was conducted with GC-MS analysis. Acetic acid, formic acid, benzaldehyde and benzoic acid were identified as reaction intermediates of the 2-CP degradation by Ferrate(VI).

The kinetics of photoinitiated polymerization of reactive oligomer methacrylates and oligomer methacrylate/SBS blends have been studied to characterize the diffusion-controlled reaction using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy-Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR-FTIR). The polymerization rates of reactive oligomer methacrylates and oligomer methacrylate/SBS blends were autocatalytic in nature at the initial stage and then a retardation of the reaction conversion occurred gradually as the polymer matrix became vitrified, and finally the reaction became diffusion controlled. Photopolymerization behavior of methacrylate/SBS blends was well predicted using the diffusion-controlled reaction model. N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NVP) as a reactive solvent was used to incorporate SBS into methacrylate to form semi-IPN via photopolymerization. Due to the high reactivity of NVP, polymerization rate increased with the increase of NVP content. As the content of NVP-SBS in the blends increased up to 10 phr, the reaction conversion maintained almost constant. But above 20 phr of NVP-SBS in the blends, the reaction conversion gradually decreased since the increase of viscosity affected on the photopolymerization rate. The semi-IPN films of methacrylate/SBS blends were transparent at room temperature as well as at increased temperature and were able to be applied to surface coating.

The kinetics for the reaction of superoxo chromium(III), $CrO{_2}^{2+}$ and glutathione(GSH) have been studied spectrophotometically in aqueous solution. Because the reaction is slow under our experimental conditions the initial rate method is used. Also the reaction fit in second order kinetics. Glutathione is oxidized by chromium complex containing oxygen. The rates of reactions depend on the presence of alcohol(MeOH or 2-PrOH) and oxygen. From these observations it is suggested the real oxidant for glutathione is not superoxo chromium, $CrO{_2}^{2+}$ but chromyl, $CrO^{2+}$.

Stigmastanol, a functional agent of cholesterol-lowering in humans, was synthesized from stigmasterol. To investigate the usability as a raw material, the contents of sterol in vegetable oils and extract of soybean chaff were analyzed. The total sterol contents showed high values of 213.7 and 209.8 mg/100g in corn and soybean oils respectively. The extract of soybean chaff has played a good role as a raw material with high sterol contents. The kinetics of hydrogenation of stigmasterol was studied using a 5% Pd/AC catalyst in the temperature range of 30~$60^{\circ}$C. Increasing temperature showed a prominent decrease in conversion. The optimum temperature was $40^{\circ}$C for high yield of stigmastanol. The effects of $H_2$ pressure, agitation speed, catalyst loading, and stigmasterol concentration on reaction rate profile were also examined. From the power law model analysis using the initial rates of reaction, the reaction order was calculated as 0.705 for stigmasterol concentration and 0.147 for hydrogen pressure.
