Relative surface tensions of aqueous solutions of KCl, KI and NaI have been measured at 25$^{circ}C$(30$^{circ}C$ for KCl) over a concentration range of 0.0001 to 3M solution. It was observed that there was a minimum in the surface tension-concentration curve for the extremely dilute solutions. Appearance of the minimum has been reported for the other salt solutions so far reported. At moderate and high concentration, these three salts increase the surface tension of water almost linearly as concentration increased, and behaved as a typical "capillary inactive substance", whereas they acted as a capillary active substance in very dilute solutions. Since the Onsager-Samaras equation for the surface tension as a function did not agree with the experimental data, the following empirical equations for the whole concentration range used were obtained. ${\sigma}_r\;=\;1\;+\;0.00072{\sqrt{c}}\;-\;0.0011c\;+\;0.023c^2\; for\;KCl\;at\;30^{\circ}C$ ${\sigma}_r\;=\;1\;+\;0.0077{\sqrt{c}}\;-\;0.0015c\;+\;0.024c^2\;for\;KI\;at\;25^{\circ}C$ ${\sigma}_r\;=\;1\;+\;0.00011{\sqrt{c}}\;-\;0.0090c\;+\;0.077c^2\;for\;NaI\;at\;25^{\circ}C$

The zinc electroplating with respect to the chloride concentration was investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and cathodic polarization measurement. The cathodic overpotential during electroplating was first decreased and then increased with increase of chloride concentration in electrolyte. The decreased cathodic overpotential leads to preferred orientation of (002) plane, high current efficiency and satisfactory zinc deposits. The increased cathodic overpotential causes random orientation, low current efficiency and edge burning. The cathodic overpotential was affected by chloride concentration in electrolyte, not by the kind of chloride, such as NaCl and KCl. An optimized chloride concentration was 3 M for zinc electroplating. Also, it is considered that NaCl can be a alternation for KCl as a main salt of zinc electroplating bath.

The formation behavior of zinc phosphate conversion coating (ZPCC) on SCM430 alloy was investigated in 25 vol.% of 1M ZnO + 170 ml/L solution containing various $Fe(NO_3)_2$ concentrations, using open-circuit potential(OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS), cyclic polarization(CP) curve and tape peel test. OCP of SCM430 alloy and corrosion current density increased with increasing $Fe(NO_3)_3$ concentration. Resistance of films formed on SCM430 alloy by chemical conversion treatment decreased with increasing $Fe(NO_3)_3$ concentration. Color and adhesion of chemical conversion coatings became darker and worse, respectively, with increasing $Fe(NO_3)_3$ concentration. It is concluded that addition of $Fe(NO_3)_3$ into a zinc phosphating bath leads to faster reaction to form porous surface coatings with poor adhesion and corrosion resistance.

Titanium alloy is gaining attention in the medical industry due to its excellent biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. However, the natural oxide film on the titanium surface is insoluble, resulting in inadequate bone adhesion. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the contact between biological tissues and implant surfaces, and alter the chemical composition and morphological characteristics of the implant surface. In this study, the anodization method was applied to titanium surface treatment to form a uniform and robust oxide film. Subsequently, a chemical process, pore-widening, was employed to change the morphological characteristics of the oxide film. The concentration of the pore-widening solution was varied at 2, 4, 6, and 8 wt% and the process time was set at 30 and 60 minutes. As the concentration of the pore-widening solution increased the pore diameter of the oxide film increased. Notably, at 6 wt% for 60 minutes, the oxide film exhibited a coexistence of pillars and pores. Based on this, it was determined that surface roughness increased with higher concentration and longer process time. Additionally, the presence of pillars and pores structures maximized hydrophilicity. This study provides insights into enhancing the surface properties of titanium for improved performance in medical implants.

In this study, we analysed tree surface flow by using the experimental and numerical method with a different surfactant concentration. We compared numerical solution with experimental results for one-dimensional model. The result shows that in general the tree surface velocity can well be reproduced by the one-dimensional model for various surfactant concentration.

The surface tension of the solution of dodecylpridinium bromide was measured by the ring method over the range $25^{\circ}\; to\; 45^{\circ}C.$ The critical micelle concentration was determined from the change of the surface tension of solution with concentration. The temperature dependence of the critical micelle concentration was also investigated. The result was compared with Adderson and Taylor's data determined by the conductivity method.

Glass slides were chemically etched with sulfuric acid using five different methods. we investigated the effects of the chemical etching conditions on such properties as chemical composition, surface roughness, and the thermal stability of the glass. Sodium and carbon atoms in the surface of the glass are effectively eliminated by chemical etching with sulfuric acid. The glass slides were boiled for 30 min in 95% sulfuric acid and were depth profiled at room temperature with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the Na ls signal was not detected in the detection limit of XPS. Surface morphology of the glass was very different depending on the concentration of sulfuric acid. The surface of the glass etched with 50% sulfuric acid was rougher than that of glass etched with 95% sulfuric acid. The sodium concentration of the glass boiled for 30 min in 95% sulfuric acid was nearly zero at the glass surface, and the sodium composition changed very little with annealing temperatures up to 35$0^{\circ}C$ in a vacuum environment. However the sulfur concentration at the glass surface due to the sulfuric acid increased with increasing temperature.

The conditions for minimizing dyes and additives when dyeing cellulose fibers such as linen, ramie, and hemp fabrics were obtained using glucose, an organic reducing agent. Dyeability and colorfastness were measured through repeated dyeing. The overall surface dyeing concentration followed the linen>hemp>ramie order, and most of the colors were in the range of PB (PurpleBlue). As the glucose concentration increased, the blue series was strengthened, and the color was dark and clear. It was determined that glucose the concentration of 4g/L was appropriate for minimizing the amount of dye. When the dyeing temperature was 30℃, the surface dyeing concentration was the highest, and the color was dark and clear. Although the dyeing concentration increased as NaOH concentration increased, 3g/L (pH 12.37) was considered appropriate for the minimum NaOH concentration, which becomes gradual after the dyeing concentration increased rapidly. It was found that the surface dyeing concentration, when repeated six times for 5 min, was better than that of dyeing once for 30 min. Washing, rubbing, and perspiration colorfastness were all found to be excellent in grades 4-4-5, and colorfastness to light was excellent in grades 5 of linen and hemp and grade 4 of ramie.

An experimental study has been carried out in order to investigate on a particle deposition on a circular cylinder surface. The present study is focused on the particulate fouling occurring in a heat exchanger for a seawater desalinization, in a laminar flow over circular cylindrical tubes. The objective is to investigate how NaCl concentration influences the $SiO2$ particle deposition on the surface of a glass circular cylinder. The NaCl concentration was changed from 0 g/L to 40 g/L. As the experimental results of $SiO2$ particle which is deposited on the glass circular cylinder surface showed, particle deposition rate per unit time increases rapidly with the increase of NaCl concentration between 0 g/L and 15 g/L. After the maximum of particle deposition rate was found at the NaCl concentration of 15 g/L, particle deposition rate remains unchanged or decreases gradually with the NaCl concentration from 15 g/L to 40 g/L. Also the $SiO2$ deposition rate of particles does not have serious variations with the position at present glass surface.

This study aimed to optimize the culture conditions to improve the crude biosurfactant activity of Bacillus pumilus IJ-1, using a 3³ full-factorial design of response surface methodology (RSM). It was found that submerged fermentation of B. pumilus improved the activity of the crude biosurfactant. The factors selected for optimization were NaCl concentration, temperature, and tryptone concentration. Response surface analysis revealed that the fitted quadratic model was statistically significant and produced an adequate R² value (0.9898) and a low probability value (<0.0001). The optimum level for each factor was found to be 0.567% (w/v) NaCl, 21.851℃ and 0.765% (w/v) tryptone, respectively. Crude biosurfactant activity was found to be most affected by tryptone concentration; then temperature, and finally NaCl concentration. Our results may potentially facilitate large-scale biosurfactant production from B. pumilus IJ-1.
