The ion exchange resins have been synthesized from chlormethyl styrene-1,4-divinyl benzene(DVB) with 1%, 5%, and 10%-crosslinking and macrocyclic ligand of cryptand type by copolymerization method and the adsorption characteristics of uranium(VI), lead(II) and holmium(III) ions have been investigated in various experimental conditions. The correlation between the adsorption characteristics of rare earths and transition metal on the resins and stability constants of complexes with macrocyclic ligand have been examined. The $UO_2^{2+}$ aqueous solutions are not adsorbed on the resins below pH 3.0, but the power of adsorption of $UO_2^{2+}$ increased rapidly above pH 4.0. The adsorption power was in the order of 1%, 10%, and 5%-crosslinked resin, but adsorptive characteristics of resins decreased in proportion to the order of dielectric constants of solvents.

The electrorefining experiments with an anode composed of U, Y, Gd, Nd and Ce (or U, Gd, Dy and Ce) were carried out in the KC1-LiCl eutectic melt at $500^{\circ}C$, Uranium was the major component in the cathode deposits at the high initial uranium concentration, and the separation factors of the uranium with respect to the rare earths (REs) were calculated according to the applied voltage and the uranium concentration in the molten salt. The current efficiency was inversely in proportion to the applied voltage in the range of 1.0 V to 1, 9 V (vs. STS304L). The dependency of the applied voltage on the current efficiency as well as the deposition rate was discussed in terms of the microstructural feature and crystal structure of the deposit.

K-Ar ages were determined on gangue and wall rock alteration minerals from twenty metallic mineral deposits in the Gyeonggi Massif. Beryl deposits give the age of 185 Ma, whereas tungsten - molybdenum deposits reveal two different age groups such as 172~156 Ma and 91~86Ma. Lead - zinc deposits and gold - silver deposits yield the ages of 160 Ma and 71~197 Ma, respectively. Mineralization ages for each genetic type of deposits in the Gyeonggi Massif can be summarized as follows; pegmatite deposits, 185 Ma; skarn deposits, 156~160 Ma; hydrothermal deposits, 71~197 Ma. Present results together with data previously reported reveal that rare earths, tungsten-molybdenum, base and precious metal deposits in the Gyeonggi Massif were formed in Jurassic and Cretaceous time with a genetic relationship to the Daebo and Bulguksa felsic igneous activity.

The electrochemical behavir of trivalent lanthanides [Sm(Ⅲ), Tb(Ⅲ), and Yb(Ⅲ)) complexes were investigated by the use of direct current, differential pulse polarography and cyclic voltammetry in aprotic media. These reduction peak were irreversible one-electron processes at $E_{pc}$ = -0.16 V, -0.35 V, -0.14 V, and -0.03 V of trivalent lanthanide complexes vs. Ag/AgCl electrode and the behavior of heavier lanthanides were decreased Sm > Tb > Ho > Yb order of the stability constant with decreasing atomic number.

The ion exchange resins have been synthesized from chloromethyl styrene (dangerous matter) 1, 4-divinylbenzene(DVB) with 1%, 5%, and 15%-crosslinked and macrocyclic ligand of cryptand type by copolymerization method and the adsorption of uranium(VI), cobalt(II) and europium(III) ions have been investigated in various experimental conditions. The correlation between the adsorption characteristics of rare earths and transition metal on the resins and stability constants of complexes with macrocyclic ligand have been examined.

New green-emitting Sr4ScAl3O10:Eu2+ phosphor was prepared using a novel melt quenching synthesis method. The temperature of raw materials irradiated with the strong light of the Xe arc-lamp was rose up to about 2273 K, followed by a sharp drop in the temperature after turn off the lamp. This method is a useful tool for rapid screening of novel phosphor materials.

In case of high contents of rare earths in the LiCl-KCl salt, it is not easy to recover U and TRU metals as a usable resource form from LiCl-KCl eutectic salts generated from the pyroprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. In this study, a conversion of $UCl_3$ into an oxide form using $K_2CO_3$ and an electrodeposition of $NdCl_3$ into a metal form in $LiCl-KCl-UCl_3-NdCl_3$ system were conducted to resolve the problem. Before conducting the conversion, experimental conditions for the conversion were determined by performing a thermodynamic equilibrium calculation. In this study, almost all of $UCl_3$ disappeared in the LiCl-KCl salt when the injection of $K_2CO_3$ reached theoretical equivalent for the conversion, and then $NdCl_3$ was effectively electrodeposited as a metal form using liquid zinc cathode. After that, the LiCl-KCl salt became transparent, and uranium oxides were precipitated to the bottom of the LiCl-KCl salt. These results will be utilized in designing a process to separate U and rare earths in LiCl-KCl salt.

In this study, the separation and recovery of cerium hydroxide was investigated from the wasted cerium polishing powders. Waste cerium polishing powder contains $64.5\;wt\%$ of rare earth oxide and the content of cerium oxide is $36.5\;wt\%$. Since cerium oxide, $56.3\%$ of rare earths, is the most stable state in rare earth, the dissolution of cerium oxide in acid solution is not easy. Therefore the process of rare earth oxide by sulfation and water leaching was examined in order to increase the recovery of rare earth. Rare earth elements were recovered in the form of $\Re{\cdot}Na(SO_{4})_{2}$ by the addition of sodium sulfate to leached solution. The slurry of rare earth hydroxide was prepared by the addition of $\Re{\cdot}Na(SO_{4})_{2}$ to sodium hydroxide solution. After the oxidation of cerous hydroxide($CE(OH)_{3}$) to ceric hydroxide($CE(OH)_{3}$) by aeration, ceric hydroxide was separated from other rare earth hydroxides by controlling the acidity of solution.

An anion exchange method for separating Y, La, Ce, Pr, and Nd element in monazites and into enriched fractions has been developed. The complexed rare earth ions with EDTA at pH 8.4 passed through the resin column of the various size and eluted with 0.0301 M EDTA as eluent at flow rate of 1 ml/min and 2 ml/min. The result of separation is good in the high column length rather than the low on using the resin of the same amount and the volume of eluent required in eluting all the rare earths at 2 ml/min flow rate is larger than that at 1 ml/min and the result of separation obtained here is unsatisfactory.
