A noble method for pre-concentration and speciation of ultra trace As (III) and As (V) in urine and whole blood samples based on dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) has been developed. In this method, As (III) was complexed with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate at pH = 4 and Then, As (III) was extracted into the ionic liquid (IL). Finally, As (III) was back-extracted from the IL with hydrochloric acid (HCl) and its concentration was determined by flow injection coupled with hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (FI-HGAAS). Total amount of arsenic was determined by reducing As (V) to As (III) with potassium iodide (KI) and ascorbic acid in HCl solution and then, As (V) was calculated by the subtracting the total arsenic and As (III) content. Under the optimum conditions, for 5-15 mL of blood and urine samples, the detection limit ($3{\sigma}$) and linear range were achieved 5 ng $L^{-1}$ and 0.02-10 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, respectively. The method was applied successfully to the speciation and determination of As (III) and As (V) in biological samples of multiple sclerosis patients with suitable precision results (RSD < 5%). Validation of the methodology was performed by the standard reference material (CRM).

The hydrolysis of gallium(III) has been studied using potentiometric techniques under physiological conditions of temperature 37 C and ionic strength 0.15 moldm-3 NaCl and at different metal ion concentrations. Changes in pH were monitored with a glass electrode calibrated daily in hydrogen ions concentrations. The titration data within the pH range of 2.5-9.99 were analyzed to determine stability constants of hydroxide species using the SUPERQUAD program. Several different species were considered during the calculation procedure and the following hydroxides have been characterized: Ga(OH)3, Ga(OH)4- Ga3(OH)112-, Ga4(OH)11+ and Ga6(OH)153+. Speciation calculations based on the determined constants were then used to simulate the species distribution.

This study examined the effects of feed water chemistry and membrane fouling on the rejection of trace organics by a loose nanofiltration membrane. One ionisable and one non-ionisable trace organics were selected for investigation. Results reported here indicate that the solution pH and ionic strength can markedly influence the removal of the ionisable trace organic compound sulfamethoxazole. These observations were explained by electrostatic interactions between the solutes and the membrane surface and by the speciation of the ionisable compound. On the other hand, no appreciable effects of solution pH and ionic strength on the rejection of the neutral compound carbamazepine were observed in this study. In addition, membrane fouling has also been shown to exert some considerable impact on the rejection of trace organics. However, the underlying mechanisms remain somewhat unclear and are subject to on-going investigation.

The sorption of U(Vl) on a domestic granite is studied as a function of experimental conditions such as contact time, solution-solid ratio, ionic strength, and pH using a batch procedure. The distribution coefficients, $K_{d}$＇s, of U(VI) are about 1-100mL/g depending on the experimental conditions. The sorption of U(VI) onto granite particles is greatly dependent upon the contact time, solution-solid ratio, and pH, but very little is dependent on the ionic strength. It is noticed that an U(VI)-carbonate ternary surface complex can be formed in the neutral range of pH. In the alkaline range of pH above 7, U(VI) sorption onto granite particles is greatly decreased due to the formation of anionic U(VI)-carbonate aqueous complexes.s.

토양용액의 이온조성은 작물의 양분흡수와 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있으며 양분의 이온조성을 추정하기 위하여 많은 모델이 개발되어 사용되고 있다. 토양용액 중 분석되는 양분의 몰농도는 insoluble 이온쌍과 평형을 이루고 있는 soluble 이온과 이온쌍 그리고 complex등의 농도로 간주하고, 양이온과 음이온을 동시에 고려한 양분의 이온조성을 추정하기 위하여 분석된 양분의 몰농도에 따른 선정된 평형식의 평형상수에 대한 conditional equilibrium constant를 구하여 모든 평형식이 만족되는 이온과 이온쌍의 몰농도를 구하는 모델을 설정하였다. 본 모델 이용시 기본적으로 필요한 성분은 pH, Eh, EC, 양이온 8종(K, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Mn, Al, $NH_4{^+}$, 음이온 6종(Si, 5, p Cl, $NO_3{^-}$, $HCO_3{^-}$)이며 다른 성분도 추가할 수 있도록 하였다. 토양과 토양용액이 평형조건인 경우 추정된 이온과 이온쌍의 조성과 이에 따른 존재 가능한 침전량과 mineral 종류별 함량을 계산하였다.

국산화강암에 대한U(VI) 수착에 대한 실험적 연구를 지화학적 매개변수들인 접촉시간, pH, 이온강도, 탄산염 농도 등의 함수로 회분식으로 수행하였다. 국산 화강암에 대한 U(VI)의 수착의 분배계수 $K_{d}$ 는 실험 조건에 따라 약 1-200 mL/g의 값의 범위를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 화강암 입자에 대한 U(VI)의 수착은 접촉시간, pH 및 탄산염 농도 등에는 크게 의존하였으나 이온강도에는 크게 의존하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 화강암 입자들에 대한U(VI)의 수착은 용액에서 pH와 탄산염의 농도에 의존하는 우라늄 화학종과 밀집한 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 속도론적 수착 실험에 의하여 2 단계 일차식 속도론적 거동이 화강암 입자들에 대한 우라늄의 속도론적 수착을 지배할 수 있는 것으로 유추되었다. pH 7 이상의 알칼리 영역에서 화강암에 대한 우라늄의 수착이 크게 감소되었는데 이는 화학종 계산에 의해 예측된 바에 따라 음이온의 U(VI)-탄산염 복합체 형성에 기인하였을 것이다.

Lysine produced during microbial fermentation is usually recovered by an ion-exchange process, in which lysine is first converted to the cationic form (by lowering the pH to less than 2.0 with sulfuric acid) and then fed to a cationexchange column containing an exchanger that has a sulfone group with a weak counterion such as NH;. Ammonia water with a pH above 11 is then supplied to the column to displace the purified lysine from the column and allow its recovery. To enhance the adsorption capacity and for a possible reduction in chemical consumption, monovalent lysine fed at pH 4 was investigated in comparison with conventional divalent lysine fed at pH 1.5. The adsorption capacity increased by more than 70% on a mass basis using pH 4 feeding compared with pH 1.5 feeding. Lysine adsorbed at pH 4 started to elute earlier than that adsorbed at pH 1.5 when ammonia water was used as the eluant solution, and the extent of early elution became more notable at lower concentrations of ammonia. Moreover, the elution of monovalent lysine fed at pH 4 displayed a stiffer front boundary and higher peak concentration. However, when the ammonium concentration was greater than 2.0 N, complete saturation of the bed was delayed during adsorption and the percent recovery yield from elution was lowered., both drawbacks that were considered inevitable features originating from the increased adsorption of monovalent lysine.

This review paper summarizes the theory, application, and potential drawbacks of diffusive gradient in thin film (DGT) probe which is a widely used in-situ passive sampling technique for monitoring inorganic contaminants in aquatic environments. The DGT probe employs a series of layers including a filter membrane, a diffusive hydrogel, and an ionic exchange resin gel in a plastic unit. The filter side is exposed to an aquatic environment after which dissolved inorganic contaminants, such as heavy metals and nuclides, diffuse through the hydrogel and are accumulated in the resin gel. After retrieval, the contaminants in the resin gel are extracted by strong acid or base and the concentrations are determined by analytical instruments. Then aqueous concentrations of the inorganic contaminants can be estimated from a mathematical equation. The DGT has also been used to monitor nutrients, such as ${PO_4}^{3-}$, in lakes, streams, and estuaries, which might be helpful in assessing eutrophic potential in aquatic environments. DGT is a robust in-situ passive sampling techniques for investigating bioavailability, toxicity, and speciation of inorganic contaminants in aquatic environments, and can be an effective monitoring tool for risk assessment.

호소나 하천바닥의 퇴적물에는 많은 양의 미량 금속이 함유되어 있으며, 퇴적물과 간극수 사이에는 미량 금속들의 교환이 일어난다. 간극수로 이동된 미량 금속들은 쉽게 수환경으로 확산되어 수생태계에 독성을 유발한다. 그러나 이러한 미량 금속들은 존재형태에 따라 수생물에 미치는 독성이 다르다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 경포호 등 10개의 동해안 석호에 대한 퇴적물의 간극수를 분석하고 화학종 분포 예측 프로그램(MINTEQA2)을 이용하여 미량 금속들의 존재형태를 예측하여 수환경에서의 독성여부를 확인하였다. 퇴적물에서 추출한 간극수의 미량 금속 분석결과를 예측 결과, K와 Na는 자유이온형태로 존재하고 있었으며, Al, As 및 Cr 등은 자유이온 형태를 비롯한 3$\sim$4개의 착물을 형성하였고 Ca, Co, Cd, Ni, Pb 및 Zn 등은 10개 이상의 다양한 착물을 형성하였다. 염분도가 높은 청초호 등(Group I호소)은 Cd, Co, Ni, Pb, Hg 및 Zn이 주로 염화 착물을 형성하였으며, Fe, Mn 및 Mg는 황산화 착물을 형성하였다. 그러나 염분농도가 낮은 천진호 등(Group II호소)은 Hg와 Cd가 염화 착물을 형성하였으며, Cu, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb 및 Zn는 황산화 착물을 형성하였다. Fe는 Fe(OH)$_2{^+}$, Fe(OH)$_3$(aq) 등의 수산기 착물을 형성하였다. 또한 염분농도와 상관없이 Al, As 및 Cr은 전체 호소에서 수산기 및 산화형태의 착물을 형성하였다. 대부분 호소의 간극수에 존재하는 미량 금속들은 자유이온(M$^{x+}$)형태로 존재하고 있었으며, 그 외에 M$^{x+}$ + xCl$^-$와 M$^{2+}$ + SO$_4{^{2-}}$의 착물을 형성하고 있어 수환경으로 확산될 경우 생태계 독성 및 축척을 일으킬 것으로 생각된다.
