Fe, Ni and Co, typical active components, were dispersed on $Al_2O_3$ and $TiO_2$ for $SO_3$ decomposition. $SO_3$ decomposition was conducted at the temperature ranges from $750^{\circ}C$ to $950^{\circ}C$ using the prepared catalysts. Alumina based catalysts showed the surface areas higher than Titania based catalysts, which resulted from spinel structure formation of alumina based catalysts. Catalytic $SO_3$ decomposition reaction rates were in the order of Fe>Co${\gg}$Ni. The metal sulfate decomposition temperature were in the order of Ni>Co>Fe from TGA/DTA analysis of metal sulfate. During $SO_3$ decomposition, metal sulfate can form on the catalysts. $SO_2$ and $O_2$ can be produced from the decomposition of metal sulfate. In that point of view, the less is the metal sulfate deomposition temperature, the higher can be the $SO_3$ decomposition activity of the metal component. Therefore, it can be concluded that metal component with the low metal sulfate decomposition temperature is the pre-requisite condition of the catalysts for $SO_3$ decomposition reaction.

Two piperazine-templated metal sulfate complexes, $(C_4N_2H_{12})[Ni(H_2O)_6](SO_4)_2$, I and ($C_4N_2H_{12}$) $[Co(H_2O)_6](SO_4)_2$, II, have been synthesized by hydro/solvothermal reactions and their crystal structures analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Complex I crystallizes in the monoclinic system, $P2_1/n$ space group, a=12.920(3), b=10.616(2), $c=13.303(2){\AA}$, ${\beta}=114.09(1)^{\circ}$, Z=4, $R_1=0.030$ for 3683 reflections; II: monoclinic $P2_1/n$, a=12.906(3), b=10.711(2), $c=13.303(2){\AA}$, ${\beta}=114.10(2)^{\circ}$, Z=4, $R_1=0.032$ for 4010 reflections. The crystal structures of the piperazine-templated metal(II) sulfates demonstrate zero-dimensional compound constituted by diprotonated piperazine cations, metal(II) cations and sulfate anions. The structures of complex I and II are substantially isostructural to that of the previously reported our piperazine-templated copper(II) sulfate complex $(C_4N_2H_{12})[Cu(H_2O)_6](SO_4)_2$. The central metal(II) atoms are coordinated by six water molecules in the octahedral geometry. The crystal structures are stabilized by three-dimensional networks of the $O_{water}-H{\cdots}O_{sulfate}$ and $N_{pip}-H{\cdots}O_{sulfate}$ hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and sulfate anions and protonated piperazine cations. Based on the results of thermal analysis, the thermal decomposition reactions of the complex I was analyzed to have three distinctive stages whereas the complex II proceed through several stages.

The thermal degradation of ABS in the presence of iron-based metal catalysts has been studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The reaction of iron-based metal catalysts (ferric nitrate nonahydrate, ammonium ferric sulfate dodecahydrate, iron sulfate hydrate, ammonium ferric oxalate, iron(II) acetate, iron(II) acetylacetonate and ferric chloride) with ABS has been found to occur during the thermal degradation of ABS. In a nitrogen atmosphere, char formation was observed, and at $600^{\circ}C$ approximately 3~23 wt% of the reaction product was non-volatile char. The resulting enhancement of char formation in a nitrogen atmosphere has been primarily due to the catalytic crosslinking effect of iron-based metal catalysts. On the other hand, char formation of ABS in air at high temperature by iron-based metal catalyst was unsuccessful due to the oxidative degradation of the char.

To remove sulfur dioxide from flue gas by the method of metal oxide, copper powder of average diameter $2.4\mu\textrm{m}$and $51\mu\textrm{m}$ were used in a fixed bed reactor over a, temperature range of $300^{\circ}C-500^{\circ}C$. Copper oxide reacts with sulfur dioxide producing cupric sulfate and it can be regenerated from the latter by using hydrogen or methane. Experimental results showed that the reaction rate was increased by the increase of reaction temperature in the range of $300^{\circ}C-422^{\circ}C$ and the removal efficiency of sulfur dioxide was high in case of small size copper particle. However the removal efficiency was decreased at higher temperature due to decomposition of cupric sulfate. The rate controlling step of this reaction was chemical reaction and deactivating catalysts model can be applied to this reaction. The rate constants for this reaction and deactivation are as follows ： k＝8,367exp(-10,298/RT) Kd＝2.23exp(-8,485/RT)

Geochemical study was carried out to find out the distribution of metals and cyanide in soil in the vicinity of the abandoned Keum-Jung mine. Chemical analysis showed that content of As in soil around tailings exceeded 15mg/kg, Korean standard of soil contamination in the farm land. That means the contamination of soil by As is due to input of tailings. According to total decomposition of tailings, As was highly concentrated in tailings. However the water in tailings impoundment was changed to acidic and contaminated by metal and sulfate because the tailings in the top of the tailings impoundment had been oxidized. Acid mine drainage contaminated the water course in the vicinity of the paddy soils. The proper measures are required to prevent contamination of the soil and water in the vicinity of the Keum-Jung mine.

In order to elucidate the effects of co-existing additives (S$_{8}$, TBP: Tri butyl phosphate, ZnDTP: Zinc-dialkyl dithiophosphate) and the role of reacted surface film on the friction behavior of MoDTP (molybdenum dialkyl dithiophosphate), a friction experiment using a dual circular pipe edge surface type friction tester and XPS (X-ray photoelectronic spectrum) surface analysis were conducted. Friction reduction with MoDTP lubricant was proved to be greatly influenced by co-existing additive species. It was dependent on the properties of the film formed through the reaction between the additive and the surface. Phosphate film reduced the friction coefficient of MoDTP through suppression of diffusion of Mo compounds towards the metal substrate. On the other hand, sulfate film, which is inherently rich in lattice defects, did not lead to any appreciable friction reduction with MoDTP since the diffusion of the Mo compound towards the metal substrate was not effectively suppressed. With ZnDTP additive, the sulfide film formed through decomposition greatly influenced the lubricating performance of MoDTP. As such, properties of surface films formed from additives were proved to yield significant influence on the lubrication performance of MoDTP.

Persulfates (i.e., peroxymonosulfate and peroxydisulfate) are capable of oxidizing a wide range of organic compounds via direct reactions, as well as by indirect reactions by the radical intermediates. In aqueous solution, persulfates undergo self-decomposition, which is accelerated by thermal, photochemical and metal-catalyzed methods, which usually involve the generation of various radical species. The chemistry of persulfates has been studied since the early twentieth century. However, its environmental application has recently gained attention, as persulfates show promise in in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) for soil and groundwater remediation. Persulfates are known to have both reactivity and persistence in the subsurface, which can provide advantages over other oxidants inclined toward either of the two properties. Besides the ISCO applications, recent studies have shown that the persulfate oxidation also has the potential for wastewater treatment and disinfection. This article reviews the chemistry regarding the hydrolysis, photolysis and catalysis of persulfates and the reactions of persulfates with organic compounds in aqueous solution. This article is intended to provide insight into interpreting the behaviors of the contaminant oxidation by persulfates, as well as developing new persulfate-based oxidation technologies.

Introduction : Recently, water and environmental pollution becomes serious social problem and high technology makes this pollution accelerate. Hydrogen sulfide, the main subject of our research, is one of the most dangerous air pollutant like SO$_x$ and NO$_x$. The major contaminant in coal gasification is H$_2$S, which is very toxic, hazardous and extremely corrosive. Therefore, control of hydrogen sulfide to a safe level is essential. Although commercial desulfurization process called liquid scrubbing is effective for removal of H$_2$S, it has drawbacks, the loss of sensible heat of the gas and costly wastewater treatment. Many investigations are carried out about high-temperature removal ol H$_2$S in hot coal-derived gas using metal oxide or mixed metal qxide sorbents. It was reported that ZnO was very effective sorbent for H2S removal, but it has big flaw to vaporize elemental zinc above 600\ulcorner \ulcorner As alternative, metal oxides such as CaO, $Fe_2O_3$, TiO$_2$ and CuO were added to ZnO. Especially, different results are reported for $Fe_2O_3$ additive. Tamhankar et al. reported SiO$_2$ with 45 wt% $Fe_2O_3$ sorbent is favorable for removal of H$_2$S and regeneration.

Decontamination wastewater generated from the HyBRID decontamination process of the primary system in a nuclear power plant contains impurities such as sulfate ions, metal ions containing radioactive nuclides, and hydrazine (carcinogenic agent). For this reason, it is necessary to develop a technology to remove these impurities from the wastewater to a safe level. In this study, it has been conducted to remove the impurities using a decontamination wastewater surrogate, and a treatment process of the HyBRID decontamination wastewater has been established. The performance and applicability of the treatment process have been verified through 1 L scale of replicates and a pilot scale (300 L/batch) test.

Plant root rotting fungi, Fusarium solani are suppressed their growth by the chitinase which is produced from the antagonistic soil bacteria. The chitinase producable antagonistic bacterium Pseudomonas sp. 3098 was selected as a powerful biocontrol agent of F. solani from ginseng rhizosphere. The antagonistic Pseudomonas sp. 3098 was able to produce a large amount of extracellular chitinase which is key enzyme in the decomposition of fusarial hypal walls. The chitinase was purified from cultural filtrate of Pseudomonas sp. 3098 by the procedure of ammonium sulfate precipitation, anion exchange chromatography, gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-100, and 1st and 2nd hydroxyapatite chromatography. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was ca. 45 kDa on SDS-FAGE. The optimal pH and temperature for the activity of purified chitinase were 5.0 and 45$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was stable in pH range of 5.0 to 9.0 up to 5$0^{\circ}C$ The enzyme was significantly inhibited by metal compounds such as FeCl$_2$, AgNO$_3$ and HgCl$_2$, and was slightly inhibited by p-CMB, iodoacetic acid, urea, 2,4-DNP and EDTA. The enzyme had ability of digestion on colloidal chitin and chitin from shrimp shell, but could not digest chitosan and chitin from crab shell. Km value of the enzyme was 0.11% on colloidal chitin, and the maximum hydrolysis rate of the enzyme was 34% on colloidal chitin.
