Acid food indicators can be used as pH indicators for evaluating the quality and freshness of fermented products during the full course of distribution. Iron oxide particles are hardly suspended in water, but partially or completely agglomerated. The agglomeration degree of the iron oxide particles depends on the pH. The pH-dependent particle agglomeration or dispersion can be useful for monitoring the acidity of food. The zeta potential of iron oxide showed a decreasing trend as the pH increased from 2 to 8, while the point of zero charge (PZC) was observed around at pH 6.0-7.0. These results suggested that the size of the iron oxide particles was affected by the change in pH levels. As a result, the particle sizes of iron oxide were smaller at lower pH than at neutral pH. In addition, agglomeration of the iron oxide particles increased as the pH increased from 2 to 7. In the time-dependent aggregation test, the average particle size was 730.4 nm and 1,340.3 nm at pH 2 and 7, respectively. These properties of iron oxide particles can be used to develop an ideal acid indicator for food pH and to monitor food quality, besides a colorant or nutrient for nutrition enhancement and sensory promotion in food industry.

In the past years, a giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect found in perovskite-like structured materials has attracted considerable attention among scientists and manufacturers, since, a practical point of view, the capacity of producing magnetic and sensing sensors. In a stream of this interest, further efforts to understand the underlying mechanism that leads to the GMR effect relative to the correlation between transport and magnetic properties, have been extensively devoted. In these cases, spin-glass-like behaviors are ascribed to the frustration of random competing exchange interactions, namely the ferromagnetic double-exchange interaction between Co$\^$3+/ (or Mn$\^$3+/) and Co$\^$4+/(or Mn$\^$4+/) and the antiferromagnetic one like spins. Noticeably, the distinction of spin-glass region from cluster-glass one, involved in the remarkable changes in transport and magnetic properties at a critical value of doping concentration, was observed. Magnetic anomalies in zero-field-cooled (ZFC) magnetization as well as ac magnetic susceptibility below Curie temperature T$\sub$c/ and the charge/orbital fluctuation were also realized. In this work, we present a study of magnetic properties of a deficient manganese perovskites system of La$\sub$0.6/Sr$\sub$x/MnTi$\sub$y/O$_3$, and particularly provide its new magnetic phase diagram.

Xanthoceras sorbifolia seed coat (XSSC) is a processing residue of the bioenergy crop. This work aimed to evaluate the applicability of using the steam explosion to modify the residue for dye biosorption from aqueous solutions by using methylene blue as a model cationic dye. Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for the biosorption of methylene blue on the steam-exploded XSSC (SE-XSSC) were evaluated. The kinetic data followed the pseudo-second-order model, and the rate-limiting step was the chemical adsorption. Intraparticle diffusion was one of the rate-controlling factors. The equilibrium data agreed well with the Langmuir isotherm, and the biosorption was favorable. The steam-explosion pretreatment strongly affected the biosorption in some respects. It reduced the adsorption rate constant and the initial sorption rate of the pseudo-second-order model. It enhanced the adsorption capacity of methylene blue at higher temperatures while reduced the capacity at lower ones. It changed the biosorption from an exothermic process driven by both the enthalpy and the entropy to an endothermic one driven by entropy only. It increased the surface area and decreased the pH point of zero charge of the biomass. Compared with the native XSSC, SE-XSSC is preferable to MB biosorption from warmer dye effluents.

Small sized manganese dioxide particles are immobilized onto the surface of sand by the wet impregnation process. The surface morphology of the solid, i.e., immobilized manganese dioxide natural sand (IMNS) is performed by taking scanning electron microscope images and characterized by the X-ray diffraction data. The specific surface area of the solid is obtained, which shows a significant increase in the specific surface area obtained by the immobilization of manganese dioxide. The $pH_{PZC}$ (point of zero charge) is found to be 6.28. Further, the IMNS is assessed in the removal of As(III) and As(V) pollutants from aqueous solutions under the batch and column operations. Batch reactor experiments are conducted for various physicochemical parametric studies, viz. the effect of sorptive pH (pH 2.0-10.0), concentration (1.0-25.0 mg/L), and background electrolyte concentrations (0.0001-0.1 mol/L $NaNO_3$). Further, column experiments are conducted to obtain the efficiency of IMNS under dynamic conditions. The breakthrough data obtained by the column experiments are employed in non-linear fitting to the Thomas equation, so as to estimate the loading capacity of the column for As(III) and As(V).

Biosorption of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution was studied with respect to the point of zero charge of coconut husk, dye concentration, particle size, pH, temperature, as well as adsorbent and NaCl concentration using coconut husk biomass. Amongst Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms studied, Langmuir adsorption isotherm showed better agreement. Pseudo second order kinetics model was found to be more suitable for data presentation as compared to pseudo first order kinetics model. Also, involvement of diffusion process was studied using intraparticle diffusion, external mass transfer and Boyd kinetic model. Involvement of intraparticle diffusion model was found to be more relevant (prominent) as compared to external mass transfer (in) for methylene blue biosorption by the coconut husk. Moreover, thermodynamic properties of MB biosorption by coconut husk were studied. Desorption of methylene blue from biomass was studied with different desorbing agents, and the highest desorption achieved was as low as 7.18% with acetone, which indicate stable immobilization. Under the experimental conditions MB sorption was not significantly affected by pH, temperature and adsorbent concentration but low sorption was observed at higher NaCl concentrations.

The lignocellulose-based dried watermelon rind (WR) was modified with sulfuric acid, namely SWR for enhancement of methylene blue (MB) adsorption from the aqueous solution. According to FT-IR analysis, after the modification of WR with sulfuric acid, the functional groups of R-SO₃H, COOH and -OH groups was formated or enhanced on the surface of the WR. Moreover, the point of zero charge (pHpzc) was changed from 6.3 to 4.1 after modification, which widened the range for adsorbing of cationic dye MB. The adsorption process of MB onto the SWR was suitable for pseudo-2nd-order and Langmuir model and the maximum adsorption capacity of Langmuir was found to be 334.45 mg/g at pH 7. In adition, the adsorption process occurs through the electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bridge formation, electron donor-acceptor relationship, and 𝜋-𝜋 electron dispersing force between functional groups on the carbon surface with MB molecules. Depending on functional groups available on the SWR surface, the MB adsorption mechanism can occur in combination with various interactions.

Among various reactions which metal sulfides can undergo in the reducing environment, the lattice exchange reaction was examined in a attempt to selectively remove heavy metal ions contained in the Fe-Coagulants acid solution. We have examined Zeta potential along with pHs to investigate surface characteristics of ${FeS}_{(s)}$. As a result of this experiment, zero point charge(ZPC) of FeS is pH 7 and zeta potential which resulted from solid solution reaction between Pb(II) and ${FeS}_{(s)}$ is similar to that of ${PbS}_{(s)}$. Solubility characteristics of ${FeS}_{(s)}$ is appeared to that dissolved Fe(II) concentration increased in less than pH 4, and also increased with increasing heavy metal concentration. Various heavy metal ions(Pb(II), Cu(II), Zn(II)) contained in Fe-coagulants acid solution were removed selectively more than ninety-five percent in the rang of pH 2.5~10 by ${FeS}_{(s)}$. From the above experiments, therefore, We could know that the products of reaction between heavy metal ions and $FeS_{(S)}$ are mental sulfide such as $PbS_{(S)}$, $CuS_{(S)}$ and $ZnS_{(S)}$.

측정된 지반진동의 최대입자속도 자료에 대한 통계분석을 통해 환산거리 개념에 기초한 안전발파 설계조건식을 구할 수 있다. 국내에서 널리 사용되는 환산거리에는 자승근 환산거리(SRSD)와 삼승근 환산거리(CRSD)의 두 가지가 있다. 하지만 SRSD와는 대조적으로, CRSD의 장약량 함수는 두 회귀식의 유사한 적합도에도 불구하고 두 함수의 교점을 지나면 기하급수적으로 증가하게 된다. 따라서 CRSD의 지나치게 많은 장약량으로 인해 발생할 지도 모를 구조물의 피해를 방지하기 위해 본 논문에서는 CRSD는 어떤 특정한 거리 이내에서만 사용하도록 제한한다. 한편, 진동의 주파수 스펙트럼에 대한 충분한 고려도 없이 PPV로부터 진동레벨(vibration level; VL)을 예측하거나 환산거리에 따라 VL을 추정하려는 시도들이 있다. 이 시도들은 발파공사 과정에서 소음진동관리법을 충족시키려는 목적으로 이루어지는 것으로 보인다. 소음진동관리법은 생활소음과 생활진동을 주로 취급하고 있다. 그러나 원칙적으로 전체 주파수 스펙트럼 상에서는 속도나 가속도 피크치 사이에는 아무런 상관관계도 존재할 수 없다. 따라서 이러한 상관관계나 추정식의 유도작업은 반드시 동일하거나 매우 유사한 주파수 스펙트럼을 지니는 파동들에 한해서 수행되어야 한다. 끝으로, 구조물의 손상은 PPV 수준과 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 있으므로 구조물에 대한 지반진동 규제기준에서는 주파수대역별 PPV를 사용하는 것이 바람직하다고 본다.

본 연구의 목적은 토양입자에 대한 전기화학적 특성을 평가함으로써 동전기 기술을 실제 현장에서 적용시, 오염물을 효과적으로 제거하기 위한 최적 운전방법이나 인자를 도출하는 것이다. 토양입자의 제타포텐셜을 토양용액의 pH와 계면활성제의 농도에 대하여 측정하여 전기삼투압적 흐름방향 및 흐름율과의 관계를 분석하였다. 동전기 실험동안, 전기삼투압 투과율($k_e$), 전기전도도($\delta_e$) 및 전압분포에 대한 측정을 실시하였다. Kaolinite의 PZC는 4.2정도로 측정되었으며 pH가 증가할수록 제타포텐셜 감은 점점 음의 값이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 주입된 계면활성제 또한 토양 표면의 전기화학적 특성에 영향을 주어 제타포텐셜 값을 변화시키는 결과를 나타내었다. 동전기 실험이 진행되는 동안, 토양시료의 대부분에 걸쳐 낮은 pH값을 나타내었으며 이로 인하여 용액과 전기적 흐름이 낮아지는 결과를 초래하였다. 또한, 전압 분포도 시간에 따라 변화하여 용액과 전기적 흐름 특성에 영향을 주었다. 결과적으로, 낮은 pH에 의한 토양의 제타포텐셜 값의 변화와 구간별로 다른 전압차분포로 인하여 용액과 전기적 흐름이 영향을 받는다는 결과를 본 연구로부터 얻었다. 효과적인 동전기 공정의 적용을 위하여 인위적인 토양 용액의 pH 조절이나 토양의 전기적 특성을 변화시키는 물질 등을 동시에 주입함으로써 오염물을 제거하는 용매의 흐름이 계속적으로 높게 유지되도록 하는 방안이 필요하다.

철 (산수)산화물은 높은 반응성과 큰 비표면적 등의 특성을 갖는 이차광물로서 환경관련 산업이나 연구에서 무기 및 유기 오염물질들을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 수착제로 널리 활용되어 오고 있다. 이러한 철 (산수)산화물들 중에서 침철석(${\alpha}$-FeOOH)은 지중에서 가장 많이 분포하고 안정된 광물로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 침철석을 이용하여 비소를 제거하는데 있어서 주요한 기작인 흡착반응에 대하여 알아보았다. 순수한 침철석을 얻기 위하여 실험실에서 합성하였으며, 침철석의 다양한 광물학적, 물리화학적 특성들을 분석하여 비소와의 흡착반응을 해석하는데 이용하였다. 그리고 비소의 화학종별 침철석에 대한 흡착특성을 비교하기 위하여 흡착 등온식을 얻기 위한 평형흡착실험, pH에 따른 흡착실험, 흡착반응속도 실험 등을 수행하였다. 합성된 침철석의 영전하점(point of zero charge, PZC)은 7.6으로 다른 철 (산수)산화물들에 비해서 상대적으로 약간 높은 값으로 측정되었다. 침철석의 비표면적은 $29.2\;m^2/g$으로 다른 철 (산수)산화물들에 비해 비교적 낮게 나타나서 흡착력이 다소 떨어질 것으로 예상되었다. 침철석에 대한 친화도는 3가 비소(아비산 이온)가 5가 비소(비산 이온)보다 훨씬 더 커서 동일한 pH 조건에서 3가 비소가 5가 비소보다 침철석에 많이 흡착되는 것으로 조사되었다. pH에 따른 비소 화학종별 흡착특성을 살펴보면 3가 비소는 중성의 pH 범위(7.0~9.0)에서 가장 높은 흡착을 보였으며, 산성 또는 염기성 pH 조건에서는 흡착량이 크게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 5가 비소의 경우에는 낮은 pH 조건에서 가장 흡착이 잘 일어났으며 pH가 증가함에 따라서 흡착은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 거시적인 현상은 pH에 따라서 각 비소종의 화학적 존재형태와 침철석의 표면 전하가 변하기 때문에 발생하는 정전기적인 작용에 의한 것으로 생각된다. 침철석과 비소와의 흡착반응속도를 가장 잘 모사하는 반응속도 모델은 parabolic diffusion 모델인 것으로 평가되었으며, 회귀 분석 결과 5가 비소가 3가 비소보다 반응속도상수가 크게 나타났다.
