The effect of various pH levels, temperatures. organic acids, inorganic salts, metal ions on the stability of the anthocyanins pigment (pH 3.7) from the juice of raspberries were investigated. Initial absorption of total anthocyanin was decreased as pH increased from 1.0 to 7.0. Total amount of anthocyanin reached the highest at pH 3.7 and least at pH 7.0. The total anthocyanin content decreased rapidly with the increasing temperature. Many organic acids were found to enrich and stabilize the color density at 520nm in anthocyanin solution (pH 3.7). The hyperchromic effect of saturated n-carboxylic acid increased in the following order; formic acid> acetic acid>n-butyric acid>propionic acid. On the polycarboxylic acid, especially, malic acid showed 550$\sim$930% higher than control group. On the inorganic salts (0.5M), sodium perchlorate had the most hyperchromic effect and followed by sodium sulfate>sodium chloride>sodium phosphate, monobasic. Among the metal ions, both aluminium ion and cupric ion much more accelerated the anthocyanins degradation as compared with other metal ions.

The interfacial features of suspension system made of $CaCO_3$ particles have been investigated for the purpose of designing its effective treatment process. For the examination of variation of electrokinetic potential as a function of pH. the value of potential was observed to shift in the negative direction, which was thought to be due to the adsorption of hydroxide ion on the particle surface. Adsorption of surfactant on suspended particles resulted in the change of surface charge and shift in electrokinetic potential, which was dependent upon the sign of head charge and concentration of surfactant. Addition of inorganic salts affected stability of suspension greatly and sedimentation rate of suspension was influenced by the electric valence and amount of ions produced by dissolution of inorganic coagulants. DLVO theory made it possible to construct a energy profile diagram and a close correlation was found between experimental result and theoretically derived consequences. Non-specific adsorption of indifferent electrolyte resulted in the compression of electrical double layer and specific adsorption induced the shift of IEP and PZC in the opposite direction.

The spinel $MgO.Al_20_3$ single crystals were grown by FZ (floating zone) method. Its melting point is about, $2135^{\circ}C$ and is important to the process of the growth from the melt. There have been some reports of the growth by Czochralski and Verneuil method. However, this study is the first trial to the spinel crystal with the application of FZ method. In this study, $MgAl_2O_4$ spinel crystals were grown by using FZ method which uses the ellipsoidal mirror furnace having infrared halogen lamps as a heat source. With dopants of transition metal ions, it was possible to melt the feed rod which does not absorb the infrared rays due to the transparent properties to infrared ray of spinel itself and the red, green and blue colored spinel single crystals could be grown more easily. As a conclusion, the purpose of this study is to find the spinel single crystal growth mechanism with respect to th growth interfaces and molten zone stability and to characterize the state of growth resulting from the concavity to the melt of interfaces.

The elongation of mesocotyl and coleoptile plays important roles in the seedling emergence and stand establishment of dry direct-seeded rice. Experiments were carried out to elucidate the effects of seed-presoaking treatments of GA$_3$ and some inorganic salts on the mesocotyl, and coleoptile elongation of rice. Seed-soaked GA$_3$ promoted the elongation of mesocotyl, but little effect on the coleoptile elongation. The stimulation effects of GA$_3$ were found to be enhanced by addition of CaCl$_2$ However, the sole treatment of CaCl$_2$ showed no stimulating effect on the mesocotyl and coleoptile elongation. Mesocotyl elongation was most prominent in the combined treatments of 50ppm GA$_3$ with 100 mM CaCl$_2$. The synergistic effects of GA$_3$ and CaCl$_2$ on mesocotyl elongation varied with varietal groups. The stimulating effects of GA$_3$ were enhanced significantly by the addition of CaCl$_2$ in japonica varieties, Dongjinbyeo, Ilpumbyeo and Milyang 95, and tall indica variety, Labelle, but not in semidwarf Tongil type varieties, Tongilbyeo, Milyang 23, and Nampungbyeo, and semi-dwarf indica, Short Labelle. The promoting effects of GA$_3$ on the mesocotyl elongation were decreased in proportion to the lowered osmotic potential by PEG 6000 on the contrary to CaCl$_2$ This implies that the synergistic effects of CaCl$_2$ with GA$_3$ on mesocotyl elongation was not caused by osmotic potential lowered by CaCl$_2$ addition but by the salt itself. Salts such as Ca(NO$_3$)$_2$, MgCl$_2$ BaCl$_2$, NaCl, KCl and KNO$_3$ showed the synergistic effects with GA$_3$ on mesocotyl elongation as well. The degree of synergistic effects showed no differences among salts tested, implying that there is no specificity of ions constituting the salts.

This study was carried out to investigate the constituents of inorganic ions of precipitation in Mokpo and Yeochon area from Jan. 1996 to Dec. 1997. The volume-weighted mean pH of precipitation was 5.7(4.8~7.8) at Mokpo, and 5.6(5.1~7.4) at Yeochon area, respectively. The non-seasalt(nss) anion concentrations were found in order of $nss-SO^{2-}_4>NO^-_3>nss-Cl^-$ at two areas. The portion of $nss-SO^{2-}_4;and;NO^-_3$ was 71~84% out of anions. The the non-seasalt cation concentrations were found in order of $NH^+_4>nss-Ca^{2-}>nss-Mg^{2+}>nss-K^-$ at two areas. The portion of $NH^+_4;and; nss-Ca^{2+}$ was 85~92% out cations. Compared regionally the year concentraton of $nss-SO^{2-}_4$, the result of Yeochon was 3 times higher than that of Mokpo in 1996, while the results of two regions were almost similar in 1997. The reason was that Yeochon was restricted area of the use of 0.5% sulfur B-C oil, controlled air pollution emission area, controlled semitotal amounts of air pollution emission area and partial operating of factories in 1997. There were no ions having high correlation with $H^+,;but;nss-SO^{2-}_4,;NO^-_3,;NH^+_4;and;nss-Ca^{2+}$ showed high correlation coefficient each other. It seems that these ions have little correlation with $H^+$ because they are washed out on binding state. Factor analysis showed that the first factor was complicated factor containing anthropogenic and soil resource, the second factor was sea-salt resource and the third factor was independent behavior of hydrogen at Mokpo. While, the first factor was complicated factor containing anthropogenic and sea-salt resource, the second factor was $Ca(NO_3)_2$ salt and the third factor was $NH^+_4;and;SO^{2-}_4$ synergied by resource and combination at Yeochon.

Amorphous vanadium titanates (aVTOs) are examined for use as a negative electrode in lithium-ion batteries. These amorphous mixed oxides are synthesized in nanosized particles (<100 nm) and flocculated to form secondary particles. The $V^{5+}$ ions in aVTO are found to occupy tetrahedral sites, whereas the $Ti^{4+}$ ions show fivefold coordination. Both are uniformly dispersed at the atomic scale in the amorphous oxide matrix, which has abundant structural defects. The first reversible capacity of an aVTO electrode ($295mAhg^{-1}$) is larger than that observed for a physically mixed electrode (1:2 $aV_2O_5$ | $aTiO_2$, $245mAhg^{-1}$). The discrepancy seems to be due to the unique four-coordinated $V^{5+}$ ions in aVTO, which either are more electron-accepting or generate more structural defects that serve as $Li^+$ storage sites. Coin-type Li/aVTO cells show a large irreversible capacity in the first cycle. When they are prepared under nitrogen (aVTO-N), the population of surface hydroxyl groups is greatly reduced. These groups irreversibly produce highly resistive inorganic compounds (LiOH and $Li_2O$), leading to increased irreversible capacity and electrode resistance. As a result, the material prepared under nitrogen shows higher Coulombic efficiency and rate capability.

Sulfide photocatalysts, CdS and CdZnS, were synthesized using a simple precipitation method and their photocatalytic activities were evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B under visible light irradiation. The effects of four inorganic salt additives, KCl, NaCl, $K_3PO_4$, and $Na_3PO_4$, on the photocatalytic reaction were examined and the role of $K^+$, $Na^+$, $Cl^-$ and $PO_4{^{3-}}$ ions during photocatalytic reaction was discussed. The added inorganic salts were shown to have a remarkable effect on the photocatalytic reaction. It was also found that the anions in inorganic salts have a much more profound effect on the reaction rate, as compared to the cations. Under the present experimental conditions, $PO_4{^{3-}}$ revealed a significant inhibitory effect on the degradation rate whereas $Cl^-$ enhanced the rate slightly. This work pointed out that the consideration of additive effects is needed in the photocatalytic reaction for wastewater treatment.

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.

Fenton system using homogeneous iron catalyst is very powerful in the degradation of organic compounds, but has a disadvantage to remove Fe ions from water after wastewater treatment. Thus, iron catalyst was bounded to support such as inorganic and polymer materials. The PVP supporting iron catalyst showed a good catalytic performance in degradation of phenol contained in waste water and iron catalyst supported on ${SO_4}^{2-}$ type PVP (KEX 511) showed the best catalytic performance. Also, reaction kinetic study was carried out in this system. Reaction constants on various catalysts was obtained from the pseudo first order equation. Reaction rate constants with the heterogenized $FeCl_2/PVP$ catalyst is a three-fold smaller than that of $FeCl_2$ catalyst.

In this work we measured the total pressure of the aqueous solutions and the methanol-water solutions dissolved with inorganic salts, at $25^{\circ}C$. In organic electrolytes used in this work were $K_2SO_4$ and $(NH_4)_2SO_4$. Using the measured vapour pressures the activity coefficient of solvents and the mean ionic activity coefficient were obtained through thermodynamic relations. The activity coefficients of solvent and the mean ionic activity coefficirnt obtained in this work were fitted with Macedo's model and Acard's model. Both two models were good agreeable to the vapor pressure and the mean ionic activity coefficient for the electroyte aqueous solutions. For electrolyte /methanol/water solutions, Macedo's model had much deviation from experimental data, while Acard's model showed a good agreement with experimental data.
