Calcium has a variety of functions in neuron and muscle cells and blood clotting, especially in the visual system where dark adapted rods cotransport with Na$\^$+/ into the cell. An influx of Ca$\^$++/ flows out of the cell through the Na$\^$+/-Ca$\^$++/ exchanger. By using a modified Using chamber in order to bring in vivo environment close, we have known that Ca$\^$++/ blocks the activity of guanylate cyclase, in consequence, having an effect on the amplitude of electroretinogram (ERG). We have measured the Ca$\^$++/, K$\^$+/, and Na$\^$+/ concentration in dark and light adapted bullfrog＇s (Rana catesbeiana) vitreous humor. The calcium concentration of the light adapted bullfrog＇s vitreous humor was higher than that of the dark adapted bullfrog＇s vitreous humor This means that ion activity between the photoreceptor and vitreous humor side is light dependent and we have found that a Ca$\^$++/ channel and Ca$\^$++/K$\^$+/ exchanger exist in the vitreous humor side. Taken together permeability of Ca$\^$++/, K$\^$+/ and K$\^$+/ ion internal limiting membrane faced in the vitreous humor side has light-dependent activity during the illumination.

This study investigates the surface modification of a Hastelloy X plate and diffusion bonding in the assembly of surface modified plates. These types of plates are involved in the key processes in the fabrication of a process heat exchanger (PHE) for a $SO_3$ decomposer. Strong adhesion of a SiC film deposited onto Hastelloy X can be achieved by a thin SiC film deposition and a subsequent N ion beam bombardment followed by an additional deposition of a thicker film that prevents the Hastelloy X surface from becoming exposed to a corrosive environment through the pores. This process not only produces higher corrosion resistance as proved by electrolytic etching but also exhibits higher endurance against thermal stress above 9$900^{\circ}C$. A process for a good bonding between Hastelloy X sheets, which is essential for a good heat exchanger, was developed by diffusion bonding. The diffusion bonding was done by mechanically clamping the sheets under a heat treatment at $900^{\circ}C$. When the clamping jig consisted of materials with a thermal expansion coefficient that was equal to or less than that of the Hastelloy X, sound bonding was achieved.

중금속 이온이나 방사성 양이온을 처리하는 공정으로서 화학약품에 의한 침전법이나 일반 이온교환법을 가장 보편적으로 활용하고 있으나, 이 공정들은 약품의 과다 투여, 유효 금속의 폐기, 고형 폐기물에 의한 2차적인 토양 오염 유발 등과 같은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이에 따라 최근 들어 선진국을 중심으로 전해환원 전착반응과 이온교환 반응을 결합시킨 전기화학적 이온교환법을 대체 신기술로 개발하고자 많은 관심과 연구가 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전기화학적 이온교환체 중의 하나인 nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCNFe)의 최적 제조조건을 규명하기 위해, 기지금속인 니켈판 표면에 화학적 방법과 전기화학적 방법으로 NiHCNFe 막을 생성하였으며, NiHCNFe의 구조 형태와 조성을 각각 SEM과 EDS 분석을 통하여 조사하였다. 또한 NiHCNFe 막이 생성된 니켈판을 운전전극으로 설치한 단일 평행평판 이온교환 전극반응기에서 산화-환원 전위를 연속적으로 순환시켜 순환전위곡선을 측정하고 피크 전류의 변화 거동을 조사하였다. 본 연구의 실험 결과에 의하면, 화학적으로 제조한 NiHCNFe가 전기화학적으로 제조한 경우보다 우수함을 알 수 있었고, 특히 118 h 화학반응시킨 NiHCNFe 이온교환체의 조밀도, 밀착성, 내구력이 가장 우수하게 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 지하수 중의 NO$_{3}^{-}$ 이온을 선택적으로 흡착 제거시키기 위하여 E-beam 전조사법에 의해 GMA 단량체를 폴리프로필렌 섬유 기재에 그라프트 반응시켜 PP-g-GMA 공중합체를 제조한 후 아민화 반응을 통하여 강염기성 APP-g-GMA 음이온교환수지를 합성하였다. 공중합체의 그라프트율 및 TMA에 의한 아민화율은 반응온도가 증가할수록 증가하였으며, $60^{\circ}C$일 때 각각 133%, 88% 최대치를 나타내었고, 이때의 팽윤율과 이온교환용량은 각각 86%, 2.5 meq/g으로 IMAC HP555, Amberlite IRA 400와 같은 상용 이온교환수지 보다 높게 나타났다. $NO_3;^-$ 이온흡착의 최적 조건은 pH 5~6이었으며, trimethylammonium 기를 갖는 -Cl형의 APP-g-GMA 이온교환체가 가장 높은 선택 흡착성을 나타냈다.

Without a definitive resolution of stoichiometry of cardiac Na$^{+}$-Ca$^{2+}$exchange (NCX), we cannot proceed to any quantitative analysis of exchange function as well as cardiac excitation-contraction coupling. The stoichiometry of cardiac NCX, however, is presently in doubt because reversal potentials determined by various groups range between those expected for a 3-to-1 and a 4-to-1 flux coupling. For a new perspective on this problem, we have used ion-selective microelectrodes to quantify directly exchanger-mediated fluxes of $Ca^{2+}$and Na$^{+}$in giant membrane patches. $Ca^{2+}$- and Na$^{+}$-selective microelectrodes, fabricated from quartz capillaries, are placed inside of the patch pipettes to detect extracellular ion transients associated with exchange activity. Ion changes are monitored at various distances from the membrane, and the absolute ion fluxes through NCX are determined via simulations of ion diffusion and compared with standard ion fluxes (Ca$^{2+}$ fluxes mediated by $Ca^{2+}$ ionophore, and Na$^{+}$ fluxes through gramicidin channels and Na$^{+}$/K$^{+}$pumps). Both guinea pig myocytes and NCX1-expressing BHK cells were employed, and for both systems the calculated stoichiometries for inward and outward exchange currents range between 3.2- and 3.4-to-1. The coupling ratios do not change significantly when currents are varied by changing cytoplasmic [Ca$^{2+}$] or by adding cytoplasmic Na$^{+}$. The exchanger reversal potentials, measured in both systems under several ionic conditions, range from 3.1- to 3.3-to-1. Taken together, a clear discrepancy from a NCX stoichiometry of 3-to-1 was obtained. Further definitive experiments are required to acquire a fixed number, and the present working hypothesis is that NCX current has an extra current via ‘conduction mode’.ent via ‘conduction mode’.

The centrifuge system in liquid radwaste system(LRS) is composed of several skids including Decanter and Separator. The decanter separates the sludge over 5mm in size within liquid radwaste by centrifuge force and drops it into 55gallon drum. The separator separates the sludge over $0.1{\mu}m$ in size within the liquid radwaste processed by Decanter by centrifuge force. The process of separating the sludge from the LRS keeps the resin in Ion Exchanger from being damaged and improves the performance of Ion Exchanger, and satisfies the decontamination factor suggested in Uljin 5,6 FSAR to safety discharge into the outer environment.

Prediction of retention times in transition metal-mandelate and transition metal-tartrate complex systems were studied on the cation exchanger. Plots of k' vs [mandelate] and k' vs [tartrate] were obtained under the condition of a constant competing cation concentration. The equation to predict the retention time of transition metal ion was derived from the ion exchange equilibria. Individual capacity factors (${k_1}',\;{k_2}'$) and stability constants ($K_1,\;K_2$) of the complexes were calculated from the non-linear least square method. Good resolution of the transition metals was predicted by the stepwise equation in the gradient method. The values of retention times from the calculation and the experiment agreed well each other.
