It was examined in this study that magnetic beads, which are assumed to be environmentally functional, could be effective in processing heavy metals that are water pollutants. For the purpose, magnetic beads containing carboxyl groups, which has strong binding force with heavy metals, are mixed with each Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu and Cr(III) solution, then stirred in pH 6. As a results of the process, it was proven that heavy metals bind quickly with magnetic beads through the reaction. In order to analyze heavy metal concentration, magnetic beads bind with heavy metal were collected by external magnetic force and dissolved in acid. The graphite furnace AAS was used to get heavy metal concentration melted in the acid solution. The results showed that heavy metal extractions by magnetic beads were influenced by the type and the concentration of a heavy metal, and over 90% of a heavy metal can be extracted in ppm level save for Cr(III). It was also examined in the study whether heavy metal extraction is influenced when other ions exist in each heavy metal solution. According to experiment, adding other heavy metals to a solution did have little influence on extracting an intended heavy metal. But in case salt or heavy metal chelate was added, Ni extraction changed sensitively although extracting other heavy metals were influenced only when the concentration of an added substance is high. In conclusion, it was shown that magnetic beads could be used to treat wastewater with relatively high heavy metal concentration.

The non-Newtonian viscosities (the specific or intrinsic viscosities) of poly(L-proline) (PLP, $M_v$=19,000 and 32,000) in various mixed-solvent systems like water-propanol and acetic acid-propanol of varying compositions were measured during the reverse mutarotation (Form II ${\rightarrow}$Form I) by the application of external pressure (up to 4.5 psi). The non-Newtonian viscosity effect was found to be larger in acetic acid-propanol system than in water-propanol system and to somewhat decrease during the reverse mutarotation at a given solvent system. The non-Newtonian viscosity behavior of PLP in aqueous salt ($CaCl_2$) solution was also studied, from which it was found that the degree of the non-Newtonian effect decreased with increasing salt concentration, and increased with increasing PLP molecular weight. These findings could be explained in terms of conformational changes of PLP in solution (like the helix-helix or helix-coil transition) involved.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of bamboo salts on remineralization effects on subsurface of artificial carious enamel. Methods: Incipient carious enamel was formed in permanent bovine incisors and then specimens were divided into three groups randomly: 3% bamboo salt (BS), 2% (NaF) and the solution of mixed 3% BS and 2% NaF. For remineralization, specimens of each of the three groups were treated for 24 hrs at $37^{\circ}C$ incubator. After treatment, specimens were analyzed using SEM and VHN. Statistical analysis used was one-way ANOVA. Results: In SEM observation, the BS group showed narrower distances between enamel rods than the cases of incipient subsurface caries enamel. The NaF and BS+NaF groups showed that the enamel rods near the surface were destructed, and innumerable round small particles were deposited near the surface of enamel. The BS+NaF group showed more minerals attachment between enamel rods than the cases of other groups. The differences in subsurface microhardness (${\Delta}VHN$) increased all of three groups in total by $80{\mu}m$. The ${\Delta}VHN$ of the BS+NaF group increased significantly more than NaF and BS groups in depth of $50{\mu}m$, $80{\mu}m$. Conclusions: The 3% bamboo salt with 2% NaF solution was found to increase subsurface hardness of incipient caries enamel. Thus, bamboo salt will be used to contribute to prevention on dental caries.

To understand how reactivity between reinforcing nanoparticles and aqueous solution affects electrodeposited Cu thin films, two types of commercialized cerium oxide (ceria, $CeO_2$) nanoparticles were used with copper sulfate electrolyte to form in-situ nanocomposite films. During this process, we observed variation in colors and pH of the electrolyte depending on the manufacturer. Ceria aqueous solution and nickel sulfate ($NiSO_4$) aqueous solutions were also used for comparison. We checked several parameters which could be key factors contributing to the changes, such as the oxidation number of Cu, chemical impurities of ceria nanoparticles, and so on. Oxidation number was checked by salt formation by chemical reaction between $CuSO_4$ solution and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution. We observed that the color changed when $H_2SO_4$ was added to the $CuSO_4$ solution. The same effect was obtained when $H_2SO_4$ was mixed with ceria solution; the color of ceria solution changed from white to yellow. However, the color of $NiSO_4$ solution did not show any significant changes. We did observe slight changes in the pH of the solutions in this study. We did not obtain firm evidence to explain the changes observed in this study, but changes in the color of the electrolyte might be caused by interaction of Cu ion and the by-product of ceria. The mechanical properties of the films were examined by nanoindentation, and reaction between ceria and electrolyte presumably affect the mechanical properties of electrodeposited copper films. We also examined their crystal structures and optical properties by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-Vis spectroscopy.

1. Preparation of Titanium tetrachloride; The following precesses were strictly followed as the preliminary step to obtain pure $TiOCl_2$, titanyl chloride; First, pure Titanium Oxide mixed with carbon is rolled into pills. After drying up perfectly, these pills are heated at 900∼1000${\circ}C$. And then the pills are subjected to the flow of $Cl_2$ gas in a quartz tube heated to 900-1000${\circ}C$. Thus Titanium tetrachloride is obtained. 2. Preparation of $TiOCl_2$ ; Yellowish trobrown solution is made by pouring 80 g of conc. HCl (sp.gr. 1.19) to 45 gr of Titanium tetrachloride (approx. 2 times of theoretical amount). Then this solution is kept settled for 5-days in a desiccator filled with phosphorous pentoxide at room temperature. As the colorless amorphous solid thus obtained is washed with aceton, 36.5 g of the pure salt are obtained. 3. Determination of composition. The analysis of the sample taken from the deposit desiccated gives the following data; (A) Qualitative analysis; a) $Ti(OH)_4$ is precipitated by adding NaOH in water solution of the salt. b) Adding $AgNO_3$ solution, the water solution of the salt gives white precipitate of AgCl. c) When acid and $H_2O_2$ are added, the solution turns its color to redish brown (This proves that $TiO^{++}$ was converted into $TiO^{++}$ by oxidation of $H_2O_2$. (B) Quantitative analysis; a) $Ti(OH)_4$ precipitated by $10{\%}$ NaOH isalitatsubjected consecutively to the filtration and ignition in porcelain crucible at approx. 1000${\circ}C$. , then $TiO_2$ thus formed is weighed and calculated into Ti content. b) Chlorine involved in water solution of the salt is determined by Vorhardt method. Result: The values obtained from previous analysis, devied by their atomic weight gives the following composition: Ti : Cl = 1 : 2 Therefore $TiOCl_2$ should be given as its molecular formula. 4. Summary. When $TiCl_4$ is additated into conc. HCl, $TiO^{++}$ formed exists as a stable form, and forms $TiOCl_2$. However $TiOCl_2$ is unstable to heating. When the temperature is raised to $65{\circ}C$the decomposition of the solution is accelerated, and gives $TiO_2$ aq. $TiOCl_2$ in addition is highly hygroscopic.

Poymeric insulators using in an heavy contamination area are easily attached to contaminants such as salt and by-products of industrial processes. To understand its effect on contaminants adhered to these insulators, we manufactured slurry mixed by some kaolin and salt as artificial contaminated solution. And then put samples in its slurry, for about one minute. And these samples are dried in natural condition for 6 days. We measured the degree of contaminant, AC leakage current for these contaminated samples.

Experimental investigations have been made to study the double-diffusive nature of convection of an initially stratified salt-water solution due to heating from below in a rotating cylindrical cavity. The objective is to examine the flow phenomena and the heat transfer characteristics according to the changes in temperature gradient, concentration gradient and rotating velocity of cavity. Thermal and solutal boundary conditions at side wall are adiabatic and impermeable, respectively. The top and bottom plate are maintained each at constant temperature and concentration. The cavity is put into a state of solid body rotation. Like the stationary case, the types of initially-formed flow pattern are classified into three regimes depending on the effective Rayleigh number and Taylor number; stagnant flow regime, single mixed-layer flow regime and successively formed multi-mixed layer flow regime. At the same effective Rayleigh number, the number of initially-formed mixed layer and its growth rate decrease as the effect of rotation increases. The temperature and concentration profiles are both uniform in each layer due to convective mixing in the layered-flow regime, but look both liner in stagnant flow regime and single mixed-layer flow regime. At the interface between adjacent layers, the temperature changes smoothly but the concentration changes rapidly.

This experiment was conducted to select the right artificil soil for the purpose of artificial cultivation by effect of NaCl and different artificial soil treatment on plant growth in Salicornia herbacea that live in coastal areas. The experimental plants were planted in light and easy-to-use artificial porous soil, vermiculite, perlite, and mixed soil and were cultured for 4 month treated by hyponex solution fertilizer and 200 mM NaCl. The height, fresh weight, and dry weight of plant growth was good in a mixed soil of porous soil and pearlite. NaCl treatment on growth and chlorophyll contents, regardless of soil type decreased. Proline content of control was showed higher than salt treatment in planted by poros soil and perlite and antioxidant activity was similar value in all treatment. The antioxidant of Salicornia in different soil and salt treatment was not affected.

For the preparation of ferroxidure BaO.5.5 $Fe_2O_3$ with high coercive force, the green and calcined coprecipitates, which were obtained by neutralizing the mixed salt solution $FeCl_2-BaCl_2$ and $FeCl_3-BaCl_2$ with alkali solution $NaOH-Na_2CO_3$, were investigated about the thermal reaction, crystal growth, and the magnetic properties of the sintered specimens. The very single-domain crystallites of Ba-ferrite with high coercive force are formed from the coprecipitate of amorphous $Fe(OH)_3$ and amorphous $BaCO_3$ at lower temperature than that of subnucleus crystalline $\delta$-FeOOH and amorphous $BaCO_3$.
