Isoflavanone has been synthesized from the reduction of isoflavone in nearly quantitative yield. Isoflavone with seven equivalents of ammonium formate in the presence of Pd/C in ethanol under $N_2$ atmosphere exclusively produced the two-electron reduced product in two hours. It was characterized by various spectroscopic methods, including UV-VIS, EI-MS, $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR and $^1H$, $^1H$-COSY. The racemic mixture was separated by Sumi-Chiral column chromatography and the absolute configurations of the enantiomers were characterized by circular dichroism spectroscopy.

The effects of surface modification by nitric acid on the pre-treatment of electroless copper plating were investigated. Copper was electroless-plated on the nitric acid treated graphite activated by a two-step pre-treatment process (sensitization + activation). The chemical state and relative quantities of the various surface species were determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) after nitric acid modification or pre-treatment. The acid treatment increased the surface roughness of the graphite due to deep and fine pores and introduced the oxygen-containing functional groups (-COOH and O-C=O) on the surface of graphite. In the pre-treatment step, the high roughness and many functional groups on the nitric acid treated graphite promoted the adsorption of Sn and Pd ions, leading to the uniform adsorption of catalyst ($Pd^0$) for Cu deposition. In the early stage of electroless plating, a lot of tiny copper particles were formed on the whole surface of acid treated graphite and then homogeneous copper film with low variation in thickness was formed after 30 min.

탄화 및 활성화 조건을 매개체로 여러 등급의 Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)계 ACF (ACF : Activated Carbon Fiber)를 제조하여 최적의 비표면적을 나타내는 활성화 공정을 알아보았고, 가장 큰 비표면적을 갖는 PAN계 ACF에 대한 표면특성 및 독성가스 등에 대한 흡착특성을 분석하였다. 시험결과 활성화 온도가 증가할수록 비표면적이 증가하고 탄화 온도가 감소할수록 비표면적이 감소하였고, $900^{\circ}C$로 15 min간 탄화한 후 $900^{\circ}C$로 30 min간 활성화 공정을 거친 ACF가 $1204m^2/g$의 가장 높은 비표면적을 나타내었고 요오드 및 테러용 독성가스에 대한 흡착 성능시험 결과 기존의 흡착제보다 우수하였다. 또한 선택적 흡착을 위한 기능성을 부여하기 위하여 기존의 금속염을 침적하는 방법을 대체하여 비교적 안정화된 금속나노입자(Ag, Pt, Cu, Pd)를 제조하여 첨착하였고 이에 대한 표면특성 및 $SO_{2}$에 대한 흡착특성을 분석하였다. 금속나노입자 첨착 ACF에 대한 $SO_{2}$ 흡착성능 시험결과 Ag, Pt, Cu 나노입자를 첨착한 ACF는 무첨착 ACF의 파과시간(326 sec)과 비교 할 때 크게 변함이 없었으나 Pd 나노입자를 첨착한 ACF는 파과시간이 925 sec로 $SO_{2}$ 흡착성능이 매우 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 2단계 촉매 분해공정 시스템을 이용하여 효과적으로 리그닌을 분해하였으며 리그닌 분해산물로 액상의 리그닌 오일, 촤, 가스가 생성되었다. 1차 촉매 분해공정에서는 MgO, CaO, Pt/C 촉매를 사용하였으며 Pt/C 촉매를 사용했을 때 가장 높은 리그닌 오일 수율(76.2 wt%) 및 가장 낮은 촤 수율(4.1 wt%)을 얻을 수 있었다. 리그닌 오일의 GC-MS/FID 분석을 통해 guaiacol, 4-ethylphenol, 4-methylguaiacol, 4-ethylguaiacol, syringol 등 18종류의 페놀화합물을 검출하였으며 Pt/C 조건에서 생산된 페놀화합물 수율이 97.8 mg/g lignin로 가장 높았다. 한편 MgO와 CaO에서 생산된 페놀화합물은 촉매에 흡착되어 상대적으로 낮은 수율을 보였다. Pt/C 조건에서 생산된 리그닌 오일을 다공성 구조를 가지는 Pd/activated carbon aerogel 촉매 하에서 추가 분해하였다. 2차 촉매 분해공정을 통해 상대적으로 선택성이 높은 4가지 페놀화합물(4-ethylguaiacol, 4-propylguaiacol, 4-ethylsyringol, 4-propylsyringol)을 0.89 - 1.82 wt% 수준으로 생산하였다.

Advanced oxidation processes involving $O_3/H_2O_2$ and $O_3/catalyst$ were used to compare the degradability and the effect of pH on the oxidation of 1,4-dioxane, Oxidation processes were carried out in a bubble column reactor under different pH. Initial hydrogen peroxide concentration was 3.52 mM in $O_3/H_2O_2$ process and 115 g/L (0.65 wt.%) of activated carbon impregnated with palladium was packed in $O_3/catalyst$ column. 1,4-dioxane concentration was reduced steadily with reaction time in $O_3/H_2O_2$ oxidation process, however, in case of $O_3/catalyst$ process, about $50{\sim}75%$ of 1,4-dioxane was degraded only in 5 minutes after reaction. Overall reaction efficiency of $O_3/catalyst$ was also higher than that of $O_3/H_2O_2$ process. TOC and $COD_{cr}$ were analyzed in order to examine the oxidation characteristics with $O_3/H_2O_2\;and\;O_3/catalyst$ process. The results of $COD_{cr}$ removal efficiency and ${\Delta}TOC/{\Delta}ThOC$ ratio in $O_3/catalyst$ process gave that this process could more proceed the oxidation reaction than $O_3/H_2O_2$ oxidation process. Therefore, it was considered that $O_3/catalyst$ advanced oxidation process could be used as a effective oxidation process for removing non-degradable toxic organic materials.

To identify the effect and mechanism of carbon monoxide (CO) on delayed rectifier K⁺ currents (I_K) of human cardiac fibroblasts (HCFs), we used the wholecell mode patch-clamp technique. Application of CO delivered by carbon monoxidereleasing molecule-3 (CORM3) increased the amplitude of outward K⁺ currents, and diphenyl phosphine oxide-1 (a specific I_K blocker) inhibited the currents. CORM3-induced augmentation was blocked by pretreatment with nitric oxide synthase blockers (L-NG-monomethyl arginine citrate and L-NG-nitro arginine methyl ester). Pretreatment with KT5823 (a protein kinas G blocker), 1H-[1,-2,-4] oxadiazolo-[4,-3-a] quinoxalin-1-on (ODQ, a soluble guanylate cyclase blocker), KT5720 (a protein kinase A blocker), and SQ22536 (an adenylate cyclase blocker) blocked the CORM3 stimulating effect on I_K. In addition, pretreatment with SB239063 (a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase [MAPK] blocker) and PD98059 (a p44/42 MAPK blocker) also blocked the CORM3's effect on the currents. When testing the involvement of S-nitrosylation, pretreatment of N-ethylmaleimide (a thiol-alkylating reagent) blocked CO-induced I_K activation and DL-dithiothreitol (a reducing agent) reversed this effect. Pretreatment with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)-21H,23H porphyrin manganese (III) pentachloride and manganese (III) tetrakis (4-benzoic acid) porphyrin chloride (superoxide dismutase mimetics), diphenyleneiodonium chloride (an NADPH oxidase blocker), or allopurinol (a xanthine oxidase blocker) also inhibited CO-induced I_K activation. These results suggest that CO enhances I_K in HCFs through the nitric oxide, phosphorylation by protein kinase G, protein kinase A, and MAPK, S-nitrosylation and reduction/oxidation (redox) signaling pathways.

The two kinds of pellet-type red-mud adsorbents (bead-type, crushed-type) were from red mud, which is generated as a by-product during the production of aluminum hydroxide from bauxite ore. The adsorption experiments of Pb^{2+} ion in the aqueous solution by these red-mud adsorbents were studied with a continuous adsorption ccolumn. As a result, the crushed-type adsorbent shows better performance in adsorption of Pb^{2+} than the bead-type adsorbent between the two types of the pellet-type adsorbents. The continusous adsorption experiment shows that the pellet-type adsorbents made from red mud have good performance for removal of Pd^{2+}. The breakthrough curves of the red-mud adsorbents were compared with that of activated carbon.
