Surface of Pt/$Al_2O_3$ model catalyst was produced on an aluminum foil with surface area of 1 $cm^2$ The aluminum surface was oxidized under $10 ^5Torr$Torr oxygen and platinum was deposited on top of the oxide layer using a plasma evaporation source. Conversion of I-butene was performed on the model catalyst surface. Isomerization was the major reaction in I-butene conversion on the aluminum oxide layer. Addition of Pt on the aluminum oxide layer induces hydrogenation of I-butene. Selectivity for the hydrogenation increases as the amount of Pt on alumina increases.

Laccase catalyzes the oxidation and polymerization of aromatic compounds in the presence of molecular oxygen. Studies were conducted to characterize the use of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as an additive to keep up the enzymatic stability. The enzymatic activities highly remained and bisphenol A (BPA) was rapidly converted in the presence of 5 mg/l of PEC. These effects were accomplished with PEG of molecular weight 3,350. A linear relationship was found between the quantity of BPA to be converted $(10-120\;{\mu}M)$ and the optimum dose of PEC required for greater than $95\%$ conversion. This result suggests that it is the interaction between the PEG and the reaction products. In the optimum dose of PEG, the aeration of reaction mixture neither enhanced the conversion of BPA nor retarded the inactivation of the enzyme.

Oxidation of Mn-Zn ferrite was made in air at various temperatures ranging from 400$^{\circ}C$ to 1150$^{\circ}C$. Subsequent reduction fo these oxidized samples was also made in air at 1300-1350$^{\circ}C$ where the spinel phase of Mn-Zn ferrite is stable. Morphological observation revealed that the shape of precipitated hematite was plate or lath type on the close-packed habit plane of {111} ferrite which has a definite orientation relationship. The growth of precipitates showed the behavior fo parabolic dependence of the oxidating time. An apparent activation energy for the growth was found to be 125${\pm}$3Kcal/mol. The fact that pores are observed along the precipitates illustrates the oxidation to occur dominantly by the counterdiffusion of cations and ction vacancies. For the reductio reaction pores are found to form at the site once occupied by the precipitates and at the surface. This observation illustrates that the oxygen volitalization from interior region to the surface is the dominant process for the reduction reaction.

The overall indicator of microbial activity in the fermentation-extinction reaction of food waste by using bio wood-chips were investigated by considering adenosine tri-phosphate(ATP). Degradation rate of organic compounds, which was represented by chemical oxygen demand(COD) and total nitrogen(TN), was increased with the concentration of adenosine tri-phosphate during fermentation-extinction reaction of food waste by using bio-wood chips. With this view, the ATP would be one of the overall evaluation indicator of organic degradation in the species of bio-wood chip for the fermentation-extinction of food waste.

$TiB_2$ ceramics were oxidized at 800, 900 and $1000^{\circ}C$ in air for 40 hr, and their oxidation property was investigated using TGA, XRD, SEM and EPMA. The oxidation resistance decreased with an increase in oxidation temperature. The scale was essentially composed of $TiO_2$ only. $B_2$$O_3$ formed during oxidation escaped from the $TiO_2$ oxide scale owing to its high vapor pressure. This made the oxide scale highly porous and thick. The oxidation reaction was mainly governed by the inward transport of oxygen.$ TiO_2$ existing at the outermost scale grew into peculiarly shaped blades, as the reaction progressed.

Wastewater containing phenol was treated using Pseudomonas sp. B3 in continuous reactor, reaction characteristics and kinetics according to variation of volumetric loading rate in continuous reactor were studied. The removal efficiencies of phenol were more than 99% at the whole range of experiment, and those of COD were 97% at the volumetric loading rate, $0.96kg/m^3{\cdot}d$ and 88% at $3.0kg/m^3{\cdot}d$, respectively. Kinetics constants of $q_m$, $K_s$, Y and $K_d$ were obtained 0.901 l/d, 0.620mg/l, 0.659 and 0.219 l/d, respectively. As compared with to constants of standard activated sludge process, these constants were remarkably different because of toxicity and inhibition of phenol to microbes. And also, kinetics constants of oxygen utilization, a, and b, were shown 0.384 kg $O_2/kg$ phenol and 0.029 l/d.

A long term deactivation study was carried out with commercial MEA provided by Hyundai Motor Co. The deactivation phenomena were observed only at high voltage region where there is no diffusion-limited reaction. A rapid deactivation was observed up to 40h owing to the sintering of Pt particles. This was followed a gradual increase in the activity up to 300 h, which is probably caused by improvement in the electrode properties in the presence of current during the reaction. After 300 h, monotonic decrease in the activity was observed owing to dissolution of Pt particles especially in the cathode. The presence oxygen is the cause of oxidation and dissolution of Pt. The dissolution rate can be somewhat retarded by generation of current, which reduces Pt ion back to Pt in the cathode.

In situ measurement of infrared absorption spectra has been performed during low-temperature plasma-enhanced chemical vapor depositiion of silicon-oxide films using tetramethoxysilane as a silicon source. Several absorption bands due to the reactant molecules are clearly observed before deposition. In the plasma, these bands completely disappear at any oxygen mixing ratio. This result shows that most of the tetramethoxysilane molecules are dissociated in the rf plasma, even C-H bonds. Existence of Si-H bonds in vapor phase and/or on the film surface during deposition has been found by infrared diagnostics. We observed both a decrease in Si-OH absorption and an increase in Si-O-Si after plasma off, which means the dehydration condensation reaction continues after deposition. The rate of this reaction is much slower than the deposition ratio of the films.

The rate constants for the nucleophilic addition of potassium cyanide to α,N-diphenylnitrone and its derivatives (p-OCH3, p-CH3, p-Cl, and p-NO2) were determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometer at 25℃, and the rate equations which can be applied over a wide pH range were obtained. On the basis of pH-rate profile, adduct analysis, general base catalysis and substituent effect, a plausible mechanism of this addition reaction was proposed: At high pH, the cyanide ion to carbon-nitrogen double bond was rate controlling, however, in acidic media, the reaction proceeded by the addition of hydrogen cyanide molecule to carbon-nitrogen double bond after protonation at oxygen of a,N-diphenylnitrone. In the range of neutral pH, these two reactions occured competitively.

The angular and planar heterocyclic compounds containing nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen were synthesized by reaction of 6,7-dichloro-5,8-quinoxalinedione with aromatic and aliphatic dinucleophiles. Nucleophilic reactivity was somewhat different between 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone and 6,7-dichloro-5,8-quinolinedione with dinucleophiles. The distribution of electron in heterocycle appeared to contribute to this difference. The intercalation comple of planar heterocyclic compound between GC/GC base pairs showed the optimum intercalation but the intercalation of angular heterocyclic compound was not good. Thus, the planar compound was expected to have antitumor activity.
