In order to study the influence of nitrate reduction to ionic balance in tissue of tobacco plant, differneces in amounts of those cations and anions were determined and these balances were compared with contents of organic acids and activities of nitrate reductase, while they were fertilized with different nitrogen sources ($NO_3-N$, $NH_4-N$, $NO_3+NH_4-N$) in water culture. The results of studies are summerized as follows; 1. Total uptake of inorganic cations was the highest in nitrate-fed plants, whereas that of inorganic anions showed the highest level in the plants grown with the mixture ($NO_3+NH_4$). The amounts of inorganic cations and anions were comparable in two treatments containing $NH_4-N$, but in plants treated with nitrate only had much higher level of inorganic cations than others. 2. Deficiency in the amount of inorganic anions in nitrate-fed plants was balanced with organic acids, dominantly with malic acid among them. But another two $NH_4-N$ fed plant sustained equilibrium between inorganic cations and anions. 3. Reduction of nitrate was raised in tissues of nitrate-fed plants. By the results of nitrate reduction, cations maintained equilibrium with nitrate ion were let loose. The replacement of inorganic anions with organic anions could be a compensation process for the loss of uptaken nitrate ions which must be reduced to be incorporated into organic N compounds.

The determination of inorganic anions by capillary zone electrophoresis is reported. A ten component synthetic mixture of anions of bromide, chloride, fluoride, nitrite, nitrate, sulfite, sulfate, perchlorate, chlorate and chlorite was separated by the capillary column and detected by indirect UV method. The running buffer contained 5 mM ammonium dichromate, 10 mM ammonium acetate, 20 mM diethylenetriamine, 10% methanol solution at pH 9.3. A potential of 15 kV at the cathode (reversed polarity) was utilized for the separation of inorganic anions. A complete separation of anions was achieved in less then 10 min and the applicabilities of the method for the analysis of real samples was demonstrated. We compare the concentration of anions in toluene inhaled humen's urine and in postmortem bloods obtained by capillary zone electrophoresis and ion chromatograph.

A cationic dye, methylene blue $(MTB^+)$ was examined as a counter ion in the separation of organic and inorganic anions by ion-pair chromatography. Nonabsorbing anions could be indirectly detected by photometric detector with the assistance of MTB^+ in visible range (665nm). A mixture of anions was able to be separated with good base line resolution and high sensitivity. The capacity factors were also determined in various experimental conditions to study retention mechanism. The retention followed the ion-interaction model where the $MTB^+$ occupies a primary layer at the stationary phase while the analyte anion and other anions in the system compete for forming the secondary layer.

These studies were investigated ionic balance of leaves from different stalk positions of tobacco plant (cv. NC82) grown on pots supplied with nitrate salts solution in the phytotrone. The results of studies are summerized as follows: 1. In comparision with the leaves along the stalk positions, lower position contained higher proportion of total cation and total anion including organic acid, but their concentration lessened gradually at the upper stalk. The ratio in amounts of inorganic cations and anions in leaf laminae depended on their stalk positon, being more than three times in the fifth, but becoming about 1.3 in the tenth. 2. Inorganic cations in the laminae were mostly $K^+$, $Ca^{{+}{+}}$, and $Mg^{{+}{+}}$, comprising about 80% of total with the first two regardless of their stalk positions. Among these two ions $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ tended to become higher at lower stalks, while $K^+$ was higher in younger and became lower when leaves got older and/or more number of leaves were emerged. 3. Total cations were balanced with inorganic and organic acid anions. Composition of inorganic and organic anions were different along stalk positions, ionic balance was governed by organic acid anions dominantly in older leaves, but by inorganic anions in the younger leaves. 4. The discrepancy in the balance between total cations and anions was more pronounced in the older leaves containing higher amount of cations and organic acids. It was suggested that discrepancy was due to precipitation of oxalate as Ca-salt which was not dissolved in the methylation solution of measurement employed.

A stepwise gradient elution with two wavelengths detection was performed for the separation and determination of some anions in saline water. The eight anions such as iodate, bromate, nitrite, bromide, nitrate, chromate, iodide and thiocyanate were successfully separated using AS-7 column and sodium chloride/sodium phosphate buffer solution as an eluant within 40 min. The separation behaviors of anions were studied at various sodium chloride concentrations. The peak shapes of anions of bromate, nitrite, bromide and nitrate gradually broadened as the concentration of sodium chloride increased until 1.0 M in the sample solutions. However, no effect was observed in the peak shapes of chromate, iodide and thiocynate. A good linearity was obtained at the range of ppm(mg/L). The detection limit was proved to be $10-720{\mu}g/L$ for the eight anions with $50{\mu}L$ injection volume. This method was applied to the determination of $Br^-$, ${NO_3}^-$ and $I^-$ in sea water.

The quantitation of inorganic anions in various drinking waters were investigated using capillary electrophoresis(CE) and the results were compared with ion chromatography(IC). With CE, in contrast to IC, was demonstrated rapid analysis, good efficiency, a low detection limit and the low comsumption of a solvent and samples. CE analysis was used 5 mM sodium chromate(pH 8.0) containing 20 mM tetraalkylammoniumbromide at -25kV applied voltage with indirect UV detection at 254 nm. This results in exceedingly short analysis time within 3 min. with efficiencies approaching 200,000 theoretical plates. The coefficients of variants of migration time are less than 0.8% and those of peak area are less than 2.3%. Detection limits for quantitative determination were 300 ppb-50 ppm level. These optimum conditions are applicable to various samples without pretreatment.

This study investigated the effects of various inorganic anions($Cl^-$, $NO_3{^-}$, $HCO_3{^-}$) on the Methyl tert Butyl Ether(MTBE) degradation by photocatalysis using statistical method. Generally, this process in general demands the generation of hydroxyl radicals(OH radical) in solution in the presence of UV light. The generation of radicals were affected by inorganic anions in solution that inhibited the photodegradation by their trapping hydroxyl radicals. The effects of inorganic anions were mathematically described as the independent variables such as $Cl^-$, $NO_3{^-}$, and $HCO_3{^-}$, and these were designed by mixture analysis that was one of the response surface methodology(RSM). Regression analysis on ANOVA showed significant p-value(p<0.0001) and high coefficients for determination value($R^2$=99.28%, ${R^2}_{adj}$=98.91%). Contour and response surface plots showed that the effects of inorganic anions for MTBE photodegradation based on $UV/H_2O_2$ process. In the result, $Cl^-$ and $HCO_3{^-}$ inhibited the photodegradation of the MTBE by their trapping hydroxyl radicals, and the interaction by these two factors was observed.

Photoreaction of guest organic anions in layered organic-inorganic hybrid materials was investigated. The layered hybrids were synthesized by an anion-exchange reaction of $[LiAl_2(OH)_6]Cl{\cdot}yH_2O$ layered double hydroxide with aqueous (Z,Z)- and (E,E)-muconates under inert atmospheric condition, to give new organicinorganic hybrids of $[LiAl_2(OH)_6]_2[(Z,Z)-C_6H_4O_4]{\cdot}zH_2O$ and $[LiAl_2(OH)_6]_2[(E,E)-C_6H_4O_4]{\cdot}H_2O$, respectively. The basal spacings calculated by XRPD of intercalates indicate that muconate anions have almost vertical arrangements against the host $[LiAl_2(OH)_6]^+$ lattices in the interlayer of organic-inorganic hybrid materials. When UV light was irradiated on the suspension of $[LiAl_2(OH)_6]_2[(Z,Z)-C_6H_4O_4]{\cdot}zH_2O$, the (Z,Z)-muconate anions of the gallery space of hybrids were polymerized in the aqueous media while it was isomerized into more stable (E,E)-muconate in the methanollic suspension in the presence of catalytic amount of molecular iodine. All the products were characterized using elemental analysis, TGA, XRPD, FT-IR, $^1H$ NMR and $^{13}C$ CP-MAS NMR.

This study was conducted to investigate the distribution of the concentrations of selected trace metals and inorganic anions in five types of drinking water samples (mineral spring water, well water, small community water, municipal tap water, and commercial mineral water) collected from Chuncheon, Gangwon-do in 2007. Forty four samples were analyzed for five metals and five anions using an atomic absorption spectrometer and an ion chromatograph, respectively. Arsenic (As) and nitrate (${NO_3}^-$) concentrations in some groundwater samples did not meet the future (10 ${\mu}g/L$) and current (44 mg/L) Korean drinking water standards, respectively. On the other hand, any municipal tap water samples, the sources of which were lake surface water, satisfied the Korean standards. Human health risk assessment results showed that arsenic in all types of water, especially groundwater including commercial mineral water, may pose both noncarcinogenic and carcinogenic effects on the residents. It is concluded that groundwater is not safe drinking water any longer and that a national survey and follow-up measures need to be taken.
