The dissociation constant of erythrosine in the mixed solvent systems of water-alcohols and water-acetone at various pH and in concentration media were determined by spectrophotometric method. Methanol, ethanol, and acetone were employed as solvents and studied the changes of pK values of erythrosine according to the kind and change of concentration of organic solvent which is mixed into water solution. The effect of organic solvent on pK is negligible at 40% while in the case of above 40% mixing, it is not negligible.

A mixed bacterial culture capable of mineralizing methyl tort-butyl ether (MTBE), other fuel oxygenates ethers, tertiary carbon alcohols, benzene and toluene was used to inoculate batch reactor and sequence batch reactor (SBR) to treat gasoline contaminated ground water containing about 60 mg/L MTBE, 5 mg/L benzene, 5 mg/L toluene, and low concentrations of several other aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Respirometery studies showed that MTBE degrading mixed culture could treat MTBE contaminated ground water with addition of nitrogen and phosphate. SBR was operated to demonstrate the feasibility of using suspended growth activated system for the treatment of ground water and to confirm that the respirometry derived kinetics and stoichiometric coefficients were useful for predicting reactor performance. Theoretical performance of the reactor was predicted using mathematical models calibrated with biokinetic parameters derived from respirometry studies.

Volatile compounds in fermented ascidians Halocynthia roretzi were analyzed to identify key flavor compounds using SPME/GC/MSD (solid phase microextraction/gas chromatography/mass selective detector) after 60 days of fermentation at 5℃. The control was chopped ascidians subject to anti-browning and 4% salt treatment. product A was made from product C by adding an alcohol extract of red peppers and onion peel, 0.1% of glucose, and 0.55% of mixed amino acids (MAA; 0.05% Glu, 0.1% Pro, 0.3% Ala, and 0.1% Gly). After blanching and anti-browning treatment of chopped ascidians, Product B1 was made by adding 3% anchovy sauce and 6% sorbitol. Product B2 was made by adding 0.1% glucose and 0.55% MAA to Product B1. In total, 78 compounds were identified, including 31 alcohols, 15 aldehydes, and 10 ketones. The alcohols included 12 compounds from the C8-C10 series with floral and fruit odors, including octanol, 3-methyloctanol, 2,6-dimethyl-1-heptanol, (E)-5-octen-1-ol, 6-methyloctanol, (E)-3-octen-1-ol, (E)-3-decen-1-ol, (Z)-1,5-octadien-3-ol, and nonanol. These were detected in high amounts in ascidians and all fermented products. Aldehydes (octanal, (E)-2-octenal, 2,4-heptadienal, and nonanal) and ketones (1-oten-3-one and 2-heptanone) with fatty and mushroom odors were detected as major compounds, whereas nine ethyl esters were detected only in product A.

To develop a dry alcohol containing red ginseng extract, dry alcohols composed of ethanol, water, dextrin and sodium lauryl sulfate were prepared using spray dryer, and their ethanol contents and encapsulation efficiencies were determined. An optimal dry alcohol containing red ginseng extract was chosen and the feeling for its oral administration was evaluated. Dextrin at dextrin/water weight ratios below 1.6/l and ethanol at ethanol/water weight ratios below 1/1 remarkably Increased both the ethanol contents and encapsulation efficiencies of dry alcohols. However dextrin at dextrin/water weight ratios above 1.6/1 and ethanol at ethanol/water weight ratios above 1/1 slightly decreased the both parameters. It might be due to the low solubility of dextrin in ethanol and limited diffusion coefficient of ethanol to the dextrin shell. furthermore, 0.5% (w/w) sodium lauryl sulfate gave the maximum ethanol content of dry alcohol. The more increased amounts of red ginseng extract were added, the more increased amounts of ginsenoside Rb1 but the more decreased amounts of ethanol were encapsulated in dry alcohols. A dry alcohol containing red ginseng extract was prepared with dextrin/ethanol/water (1/1/1, w/w/w) mixed solution, in which 0.5% (w/w) sodium lauryl sulfate and 20% (w/w) red ginseng extract were dissolved. It contained the ethanol contents of31.17$\pm$ 1.33% (w/w) and ginsenoside Rbl of 243.0$\pm$7.0 $\mu$g/g. It gave the moderate taste of red ginseng extract at Its oral administration with or without water Thus, the dry alcohol containing red ginseng extract can be further developed as a more convenient dosage form for red ginseng extract.

The experiments have been performed to obtain zinc complex compound with smaller particle sizes, which is used as a charge control agent in manufacturing toner. Metallic salts and polyhydric alcohols have been studied to investigate their effects on the formation and the triboelectric charge of zinc complex-compound particle with different sizes. Reactants such as zinc chloride and 3,5-di-tert.-butyl salicylic acid have been used to form the complex compound. Polyethylene glycol (PEG-300), glycerin and ethylene glycol have been added into the zinc chloride solution beforehand to lower the reaction rate in the formation of zinc complex-compound. Aluminium(III) chloride has been mixed in the zinc chloride solution beforehand to restrain the particle size from growing. When PEG-300 and aluminium(III) chloride are used to lower the reaction rate and to restrain the particle size from growing, the average particle size of zinc complex compound decreases from $5.28{\mu}m$ to $2.33{\mu}m$, which was 44.1% of $5.28{\mu}m$.

We have evaluated the hydroxyl group-solvent specific interactions by using a Lichrosorb RP18 stationary phase and by measuring the retention data of carefully selected solutes in 50/50, 60/40, 70/30, 80/20, and 90/10(v/v%) methanol/water eluents at 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 ${^{\circ}C}$. The selected solutes are 3 positional isomers of phenylpropanol, that is, 1-phenyl-1-propanol, 1-phenyl-2-propanol, and 3-phenyl-1-propanol. There exist clear discrepancies in ${\Delta}H^o$ (solute transfer enthalpy from the mobile to the stationary phase) and $T{\Delta}S^o$ (solute transfer entropy) among positional isomers. The difference in ${\Delta}H^o$ and $T{\Delta}S^o$ between secondary alcohols (1-phenyl-1-propanol and 1-phenyl-2-propanol)is negligible compared to the difference between the primary alcohol (1-phenyl-3-propanol) and secondary alcohols. The $T{\Delta}S^o$ values of 3-phenyl-1-propanol are close to those of butylbenzene while the $T{\Delta}S^o$ values of secondary alcohols are close to those of propylbenzene. The difference in ${\Delta}{\Delta}H^o$ (specific solute-mobile phase interaction enthalpy) between the primary alcohol and the secondary alcohol decreases with increase of methanol content in the mobile phase. A unique observation is an extremum for 1-phenyl-3-propanol in the plot of $T{\Delta}{\Delta}S^o$ vs. methanol volume %. The positive sign of $T{\Delta}{\Delta}S^o$ of 3-phenyl-1-propanol implies that the entropy of 3-phenyl-1-propanol is greater than that of the hypothetical alkylbenzene (the same size and shape as phenylpropanol) in the mobile phase.

Pervaporation has become important as a method to separate liquid mixtures, sepecially azeotropic and close boiling-point mixtures. Especially, water-alcohol separations have been carried out a lot because of the practical interests in the industries. However, outstanding membranes with high selectivity and high permeability have not been available in common use yet. In order to separate selectively out the water mixed with alcohols with an aim of the purification of the alcohols, a membrane has tO have excellent affinity to water. Among the hydrophilic polymers, polyacrylic acid and poly(vinyl alcohol) are used widely. In recent years, ionomers and polyion complexes, better hydrophitic materials, start to be used. The polyion complex membranes, consisting of polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polycation, showed excellent permeation rates and selectivities. It was known that among the polycations, ioneries, which have quaternary ammonium groups in the backbone chain, were more effective in giving membranes of higher permselectivities. On this base, syntheses and characterizations of the polycations, with different chemical structures from the published ones, for the polyion complex membrane formation were studied in this paper.

Solvothermal treatment of late transition metal acetylacetonates in a novel medium composed either of pure acetophenone or acetophenone mixtures with amino alcohols offers a general approach to uniform hydrophilic metal nanoparticles with high crystallinity and low degree of aggregation. Both pure metal and mixed-metal particles can be accesses by this approach. The produced materials have been characterized by SEM-EDS, TEM, FTIR in the solid state and by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis in solutions. The chemical mechanisms of the reactions producing nanoparticles has been followed by NMR. Carrying out the process in pure acetophenone produces palladium metal, copper metal with minor impurity of $Cu_2O$, and NiO. The synthesis starting from the mixtures of Pd and Ni acetylacetonates with up to 20 mol% of Pd, renders in minor yield the palladium-based metal alloy along with nickel oxide as the major phase. Even the synthesis starting from a mixed solution of $Cu(acac)_2$ and $Ni(acac)_2$ produces oxides as major products. The situation is improved when aminoalcohols such as 2-aminoethanol or 2-dimethylamino propanol are added to the synthesis medium. The particles in this case contain metallic elements and pairs of individual metals (not metal alloys) when produced from mixed precursor solutions in this case.

Biorefineries, in which renewable resources are utilized, are an eco-friendly alternative based on biomass feedstocks. Alginic acid, a major component of brown algae, which is a type of marine biomass, is widely used in various industries and can be converted into value-added chemicals such as sugars, sugar alcohols, furans, and organic acids via catalytic hydrothermal decomposition under certain conditions. In this study, ruthenium-supported activated carbon and magnesium oxide were mixed and applied to the depolymerization of alginic acid in a batch reactor. The addition of magnesium oxide as a basic promoter had a strong influence on product distribution. In this heterogeneous catalytic system, the separation and purification processes are also simplified. After the reaction, low molecular weight alcohols and organic acids with 5 or fewer carbons were produced. Specifically, under the optimal reaction conditions of 30 mL of 1 wt% alginic acid aqueous solution, 100 mg of ruthenium-supported activated carbon, 100 mg of magnesium oxide, 210 ℃ of reaction temperature, and 1 h of reaction time, total carbon yields of 29.8% for alcohols and 43.8% for a liquid product were obtained. Hence, it is suggested that this catalytic system results in the enhanced hydrogenolysis of alginic acid to value-added chemicals.
