We studied a selective recovery condition of vanadium (V) from FALL (Fly Ash Leach Liquor) produced at a fossil fuel power station using heavy oil. By applying a spectroscopy to quantify the V in a sample, we identified a concentration range V interfered by on presence of metals such as Ni, Fe Also, the optimal vanadium precipitation rate according to the amount of 5.0M $NH_3$ loaded to the sample, solution pH and stirring time. As a result of the experiment, the maximum selective recovery ratio of V was achieved to be higher than 91.5% when the stirring duration was less than 1 minute at pH 7.0, and $25^{\circ}C$.

The interaction of the antitumour agent, doxorubicin, with adenine is investigated in an aqueous solution at a concentration of 10-3~10-4 with volume ratios of 1:2. A UV-resonance Raman spectroscopy and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy are used to determine the binding sites of doxorubicin to adenine and the structural variations of doxorubicin-adenine complexes in an aqueous solution. We identified that the possibilities of doxorubicin interacted with the N7 positions of adenine.

Alkylbenzenes used as synthetic lubricant base oils have been analyzed to find the quantity of mono- and di-substituted alkyl aromatic hydrocarbon compositions and the number of carbon atoms in alkyl chains by $^{13}C$-NMR, near-infrared, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Also, linear long chain alkylated benzene in the engine lubricants was analyzed quantitatively by infrared spectroscopy.

The spiropyran is a typical material having photodegradation properties in the process of photochromism. The spiropyran has been utilized in various applications such as optical switch, optical memories, and biosensor because of its remarkable stability, fast responsive time, stronger color change, and photo-induced controllability. However, the spriropyran is photodegraded by the repetitive optical irradiation. The photodegradation of spiropyran have been investigated by using UV-Visible spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Raman spectroscopy. Herein, the properties of spiropyran were characterized by using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) in the terahertz frequency region. In terahertz region, the measured absorbance of spiropyran was increased due to the photodegradation induced by the repetitive UV irradiation. The absorbance tendency of spiropyran in the terahertz frequency region was compared with that in the visible region, and they were completely opposite to each other.

The extent of UV-curing photo-polymerization reaction was monitored by near-IR spectroscopic method. Acrylates containing quaternary ammonium salts and Darocur 1173 were used as reactive monomer and a photo initiator, respectively. The extent of photo-polymerization reaction was obtained from the conversion ratio of acrylate double bond calculated from the intensities of measured bands at 1615 nm and at 2105 nm. Near-IR spectroscopic methods can be an useful tool for the monitoring of the progress of photo-polymerization.

In this study, iron(III)-2,4-dihydroxysalophen chloride (Fe(2,4-DHSalophen)Cl), has been synthesized by combination of 2,4-dihydroxysalophen (2,4-DHSalophen) with $FeCl_2$ in a solvent system. This complex combination was characterized using UV-vis and IR spectroscopies. Subsequently, the interaction between native calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (ct-DNA) and Fe(2,4-DHSalophen)Cl, was investigated in 10 mM Tris/HCl buffer solution, pH 7.2, using UV-visible absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies, thermal denaturation technique and viscosity measurements. From spectrophotometric titration experiments, the binding constant of Fe(2,4-DHSalophen)Cl with ct-DNA was found to be $(1.6{\pm}0.2){\times}10^3\;M^{-1}$. The fluorescence study represents the quenching effect of Fe(2,4-DHSalophen)Cl on bound ethidium bromide to DNA. The quenching process obeys linear Stern-Volmer equation in extended range of Fe(2,4-DHSalophen)Cl concentration. Thermal denaturation experiments represent the increasing melting temperature of DNA (about $4.3^{\circ}C$) due to binding of Fe(2,4-DHSalophen)Cl. These results are consistent with a binding mode dominated by interactions with the groove of ct-DNA.

UV-vis spectroscopy is one of the powerful tools for measuring the concentrations of reactant and products during a chemical reaction. However, there is an limitation of using the technique when the reaction undergoes in high concentration and high temperature. Color analysis using camera images can provide the identical results with UV-vis analysis with regardless of the sample concentration and temperature. The catalytic reduction reaction of resazurin to resorufin was investigated using the color analysis with the color spaces such as CIE L^*a^*b^*. Moreover, the color analysis enabled the independent analysis of two different material's concentrations without the deconvolution of overlapped wavelengths unlike the case of using UV-vis spectroscopy.

In this study, we studied a facile method for the synthesis of stable and nearly spherical gold nanoparticles using a tyrosine-rich peptide, Tyr-Tyr-Gly-Tyr-Tyr (YYGYY), as both the reducing and capping agent. The peptide coated spherical and polycrystalline gold nanoparticles with diameters from 3 to 15 nm were successfully synthesized by varying the concentration of the peptide and metal precursor under UV irradiation. The nanoparticles were then characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (STEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles was confirmed by the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol, in which the catalytic reaction rate constant was 7.3 × 10-3 s-1.

We studied the mechanism of orientation of polyimide molecules which were irradiated by polarized UU (PUV) using polarized Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, According to the measured UV spectra, we found PI films mainly absorb UV light less than 350 nm wavelength, therefore, UV light less than 360 nm induces photochemical reaction of PI. PUV irradiation of PI films caused decrease of all peak intensities in the FT-IR spectra. except the newly formed broad peak at $3244 cm^{-1}$, due to degradation of the PI molecules. The remaining PI molecules after photo-degradation showed predominantly perpendicular molecular orientation to the irradiated PUV polarization direction, due to the preferential degradation of PI molecules parallel to irradiated PUV polarization direction. However the rubbing of PI films induced reorientation of the PI molecules parallel to the rubbing direction. We also investigated the alignment of the liquid crystal by rubbing or PUV irradiation. Liquid crystals align perpendicular to the PUV polarization direction and parallel to the rubbing direction.
