The adsorption model in reversed phase liquid chromatography has been critically examined. It has been found that use of the Everett type surface activity coefficient for the solute in the stationary phase is not useful to study the retention characteristics of a nonpolar solute. We suggest a modified model. In this model it is assumed that the displaced modifier molecules from the surface monolayer do not transfer into the bulk mobile phase but stick to the nonpolar solute which has displaced them. In addition, we prefer to use an apparent stationary phase activity coefficient of the soluie instead of the Everett type activity coefficient. This modified adsorption model well explains the mobile and stationary phase effects on the solute retention upon variation of mobile phase composition.

The optimum design and preliminary cost estimations of air stripping towers ASTs with granular activated carbon adsorption (GAC) systems as the off-gas treatment were done and compared to liquid-phase GAC system. The optimum design and preliminary cost estimations were done for either single or multicomponent systems. A computer program was developed for this study. 15 single compounds and their multicomponent systems were studies. Even with off-gas treatment, AST was generally a less expensive process for treatment of volatile organics than liquid-phase GAC system. Treatment costs of small systems were sensitive to system capacity. Accumulative effect of treatment costs was found in multicomponent systems. The cost of a multicomponent system was highly dependent on the least strippable component in ASTs even with gas-phase GAC or the least adsorbable component in liquid-phase GAC system.

The oyster shell adsorbents were prepared by steam activation method to evaluate their adsorption characteristics. Washed and pulverized waste oyster shells were prepared by steam activated process in converter at the temperature range of about $700{\sim}800^{\circ}C$ after carbonized at the range of $600{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$. The shell carbonized at $1000^{\circ}C$ showed the best performance among those of other temperature ranges. Also, comparison between gas and liquid phase adsorption was performed to verify adsorbent possibility of waste shell. In case of gas phase, the adsorbent showed lower performance than existing commercial adsorbents. On the other hand, the liquid phase, they showed similar adsorption performance to commercial adsorbents when benzene was used.

Liquid phase adsorption equilibria of amines in an aqueous solution onto high silica zeolite pellets (HSZ), macroreticular resin particles (MR) and granular activated carbon (GAC) were determined using a batch bottle technique at 298K. The isotherm curves of HSZ-amines and GAC-amines indicate the nonlinear relationship of unfavorable adsorption type of HSZ-amines and favourable one of GAC-amines. However the curves of MR-amines represent the linear pattern of an adsorption isotherm. Among various equilibrium isotherms, the three parameters of the Redlich-Peterson equation and the two parameters of the Freundlich equation are found to be the most satisfactory within the range of this study. The two parameters of the Langmuir isotherm were not applicable to the present adsorption systems. The amines were adsorbed on the HSZ, MR and GAC in the following sequence of adsorptivity; aromatic amines > primary amines > secondary amines. The product of the Freundlich constants, k and n, proportionally increased with the boiling point, molar volume and dissociation constants of amines adsorbed on HSZ, MR and GAC.

Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were prepared from various precursors of plantic, synthetic, and mixed fabrics of viscous rayon and cotton. Their adsorption performances of phenol and methylene blue in aqueous phase were evaluated through their adsorption isotherms, adsorption rates and breakthrough curves. The two adsorbates showed type I adsorption isotherm on ACFs. Adsorption rates to ACFs were 100 fold faster than to GAC. The effective diffusion coefficients of the adsorbates in ACFs were twenty fold greater than in GAC. The ACFs removed completely ten organic pollutants from a prepared water specimens through the 2nd column of a natural filtration method where 50 L of the water samples were treated.

The adsorption of quinine, atropine and methylrozaniline chloride from aqueous phase by different kaolins was studied to innovated utilization of Korean kaolins as pharmaceutical agents. The adsorption isotherms were determined at $27{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ and the results were plotted according to the Langmuir equation. The Langmuir constants were calculated from adsorption isotherms of quinine and methylrozaniline chloride; a=1.46, 1.34 b=5.7, 9.3 and slope=0.175, 0.108, respectively. The kaolins gave the same type of curves with the two alkaloids and methylrozaniline chloride. The white colored premium grade kaolins were better adsorbent for the alkaloids and methylrozaniline chloride than the lower grade ones. The results indicate that the premium grade kaolins could be utilized as an ingredients in intestinal preparations. The condition of activation for the better adsorption was under the cases with the higher temperature and the lower pressure. The smaller particle size, the greater was adsorption power and the activated kaolins had superior adsorptive properties at higher pH value than at higher hydrogen-concentrations.

The statistical thermodynamical properties of heavy water are calculated according to the transient state theory of significant liquid structure. The calculated values are shown to be in good agreement with the observed ones. The grand canonical ensemble partition function for the adsorbed phase of heavy water on graphite surface is derived using the theory. The adsorption isotherm, the surface pressure, the molar entropy and the molar internal energy for the adsorbed phase and then the molar heat of adsorption are calculated according to the derived partition function. The thermodynamic properties of the adsorbed water are also calculated and the results are compared with those of heavy water and discussed in view of the experimentally observed phenomena.

The effect of calcium lignosulfonate (CLS) on the early hydration characteristics for clinker minerals was investigated. In the presence of CLS and unsufficient gypsum The hydration of $C_3$A lowered CLS adsorption to form ettrin-gite and the residual CLS in the liquid phase accelerated the solubility of C4AF hydration. As the result unreacted $Fe^{3+}$ in the liquid phase would be precipitated gelatinously on $C_3$ hydrates and the hydration of $C_3$ could be retarded. But by addition of optimum gypsum into the cement with CLS the presence of $Fe^{3+}$ in the liquid phase were lowered and $C_3$ hydration would be normallized.

Normal phase or reversed phase liquid chromatographic separation of some structural isomers of functionalized heterocyclic compounds has been carried out by using several different columns and various mobile phases. The optimal experimental conditions for separation of structural isomers were found on a ternary solvent system including alcohol as a modifier. This polar modifier is preferentially adsorbed onto strong adsorption site, leaving a more uniform population of weaker site that then serve to retain the sample. This 'deactivation' of the adsorbent leads to a number of improvements in subsequent separations. The optimal mobile phase system of separation were found on normal phase on structural isomers. Retention mechanism of normal phase system was also studied depending on adsorption strength between solute and stationary phase of column. However, retention factors of reversed phase system were found on hydrophobic interaction with solvophobic effect.

Solid phase microextraction (SPME) was used for the determination of 6 standard solvents (methanol, isopropanol, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, cyclohexane, toluene) in food packaging materials. SPME method is a solvent-free sample preparation technique in which a fused silica fiber coated with polymeric organic liquid is introduced into the headspace above the sample. SPME method using fiber coated polydimethylisiloxane (PDMS) was compared with static headspace (SHS) method used as a reference. It was found that the optimal adsorption condition using PDMS-SPME method was 2$0^{\circ}C$ for 15 minutes for the standard solvents. Detection limits, linearity, reproducibility and recovery of both SHS and PDMS-SPME methods have been determined using 6 standard solvents. Both methods were characterized by high reproducibility and good linearity. Using SHS methods, the mean recovery of the 6 standard solvents was ranged from 75.5% to 105.8% with a mean relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.3% to 4.8%. With PDMS-SPME method, the mean recovery of the 6 standard solvents was ranged from 86.7% to 108.3% with a mean RSD of 0.4% to 2.5%. The detection limits of both methods were the same for toluene, cyclohexane and methyl ethyl ketone; those of PDMS-SPME method were higher than those of SHS method for methanol, isopropanol and ethyl acetate. PDMS-SPME fiber shoed excellent adsorption for non-polar solvents such as toluene, while it showed relatively low adsorption for polar solvents such as methanol.
