The complex formation of p-aminoazobenzene and its derivatives with Fe(III) and Mn(II) has been studied by UV and IR spectroscopy and conductometry. The effects of solvents, donor basicity, and other factors on the formation of these complexes have been examined. The vatio of metal to ligand for the complexes formed is 1 : 1, both in the solid state and in solution. The stability constants of Fe(III)-donor and Mn(II)-donor complexes are in the range of 10$^2$∼10$^4$ and 0.1∼1, respectively. The absorptivities are ~10$^4$ and ∼10$^3$ l/mol${\cdot}$cm respectively. Thermodynamic properties such as ${\Delta}H^{\circ}$, ${\Delta}G^{\circ}$ and ${\Delta}S^{\circ}$ are calculated from their stability constants utilizing Van't Hoff equation.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature on microbial characteristics and treatment efficiency in aerated submerged biofilm process. From the results of the research, conclusions were derived as following: 1. Biofilm density, attached biomass and biofilm thickness were $30-42mg/cm^3$, $1.2-2.7mg/cm^2$ and $380-690{\mu}m$, respectively. These were greatly affected by the variation of temperature ($5-20^{\circ}C$) and packing ratio(45-90%). 2. The ratio of suspended biomass to the total biomass in the reactor was in the range of 10 to 50 % in accordance with the variation of temperature and packing ratio. Therefore, the portion of suspended biomass cannot be neglected. 3. BOD removal efficiency increased as either temperature or biomass(suspended and attached) concentration increased. 4. The aerated submerged biofilm process appeared to be less affected by temperature variation and the estimated temperature correction coefficient of the Van't Hoff-Arrhenenius equation was 1.042.

The retention behavior of Cot(II)-dithiocarbamate(DTC) chelates in reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography was investigated. Enthalpy and entropy of chelates transfer from the mobile phase to the stationary phase were calculated from retention data using van't Hoff plots. The dependence of In k' on enthalpy was decreased with increasing organic solvent ratio on the mobile phase. The compensation temperatures(${\beta}$) calculated from the slope of $-{\Delta}H^0$ vs In k' were in the range of 756.3-888.5 K. From these results. it was found that the retention mechanism of DTC chelates was invariant under the various temperatures and was largely affected by the solvophobie effect. Liniear relationship between S index and log k' in emprical retention equation, $log\;k^{\prime}=log\;{k_w}^{\prime}-S_{\varphi}$ showed that S index was influenced mainly by the interaction between DTC chelates and the mobile phase.

The polyamine resins were synthesized by reacting amines such as diethylenetriamine(dien), triethylenetetramine(trien), tetraethylenepentamine(tetren), and pentaethylenehexamine(penten). Stepwise dissociation constants of amines, enthalpy and free energy of metal chelate were determined. Formation constants $(log k_1) of metal chelates were in order of Cu(Ⅱ) > Ni(Ⅱ) > Cd(Ⅱ) > Zn(Ⅱ) > Co(Ⅱ) and tendency of stabilities were proportional to nitrogen numbers of ligand such as dien < trien < tetren > penten. Elutional selectivites of metal ions on resin were agreed to formation constants of metal chelates. {\Delta}H and {\Delta}G were calculated by Van't Hoff equation. Stability constants (log k1) of metalic complexes were in order Cu(Ⅱ) > Ni(Ⅱ) > Cd(Ⅱ) > Zn(Ⅱ) > Co(Ⅱ), and tendency of stabilities were {\circledP}_L-Dien < {\circledP}_L-Trien < {\circledP}_L-Tetren < {\circledP}_L-Penten. The elutional selectivities of metal ions were agreed to stability constants of metal chelates.

Chromatographic retention behavior and separation of various phenol derivatives on a Partisil 10 ODS 3 column-with mobile phase containing $\alpha$-cyclodextrin-were systematically studied. The decrease in k' values caused by the addition of cyclodextrins in the mobile phase was based on the formation of an inclusion complex, resulting in weakening of the hydrophobic interaction between solutes and the stationary phase. The content of the organic solvent in the mobile phase also influenced k' values of the solutes, and k' values increased with a decrease of the content of organic solvent in the mobile phase. A simple equation has been derived that reveals the hyperbolic dependence of the capacity factor on the total concentration of cyclodextrin. A plot of the reciprocal of the capacity factor against (CD)$_T$ gives a straight line and the dissociation constant, K$_D$, of the inclusion complex can be calculated from the slope. The capacity factor decreased with increasing temperature. The enthalpy was calculated from the slope of van't Hoff plots. Under optimum conditions, some mixtures of phenol derivatives were able to separated successfully.

The production characteristics of activated carbon from waste walnut shell have been investigated by taking activation temperature, activation time, amount of activating agent, and kind of activating agent as the major influential factors. The adsorption capacity of the activated carbon which was produced using phosphoric acid as the activating agent increased with activation temperature and showed its greatest value at about $550^{\circ}C$. Yield for activated carbon was observed to decrease continuously as the activation temperature was raised. The optimal activation time for the highest adsorption capacity was found to be about 2 hr, and as the activation time increased the yield for activated carbon was showed to decrease continuously. The increase in the amount of activating agent resulted in the increase of the yield for activated carbon, however, excessive amount of activating agent deteriorated its adsorption capacity reversely. The variations of the microstructure of activated carbon observed by SEM with several influential factors, correlated very well with its changes in the adsorbability with the same factors and the kind of activating agent was found to play an important role in the determination of the adsorption capacity of activated carbon. To investigate the adsorption characteristics of the produced activated carbon, the adsorption reactions of $Cu^{2+}$ ion were examined using the produced activated carbon as the adsorbent. In general, the kinetics of the adsorption of $Cu^{2+}$ ion was observed to follow a 2nd-order reaction and the rate constant for adsorption reaction increased as the initial concentration of adsorbate was diminished. The equilibrium adsorption of $Cu^{2+}$ was explained well with Freundlich model and its adsorption reaction was found to be endothermic. The activation energy for adsorption was calculated to be 13.07 kcal/mol, which implied that the adsorption reaction was very irreversible, and several thermodynamic parameters of adsorption reaction were estimated using van't. Hoff equation and thermodynamic relationships.

Carbonate species in aqueous solution play an important role in the determination of chemical properties of water in relation with alkalinity, buffer capacity, biological productivity, and so on. These compounds also have reactive characteristics such as interphasal reactions between solid, liquid, and gas phases. In the absence of solid materials, the total amount and relative abundance of each carbonate species are directly influenced by the partial pressure of $CO_2$ gas in the atmosphere, which in turn significantly affects the properties of aquatic system. In the water/wastewater treatment process along with the wastes treatment and recycling process which occurring in aquatic environment, it is essential to figure out its characteristics for their optimization and one of its most influential features upon these processes is determined by carbonate species. To understand the fundamental aspect of the relationship between the partial pressure of $CO_2$ gas and chemical features of water, especially pH, the working partial pressure of pure $CO_2$ gas that produced by contacting the dry ice with water has been estimated based on equilibrium calculation. The equilibrium constants for the dissociation ot carbonic acid were determined using van't Hoff equation and the distribution diagram of carbonate species according to the pH has been constructed to substantiate the results of equilibrium calculation. The estimated working partial pressure of pure $CO_2$ gas was found to be a function of the concentration of carbonates in solution, which suggesting that Prior evaluation of the working partial pressure of gas is essential for a better understanding of aquatic interactions.

A study on the zeolite synthesized of bituminous coal fly ash from power plant has been carried out to reuse industrial waste. The synthesized zeolite was proved to be 4A type by means of the X-ray diffraction analysis and the degree of crystallinity was found to be higher than 90%. Then the synthesized zeolite was used as an adsorbent to remove the heavy metal ions in the CU, Pb, and Cd containing wastewater and water. Also, adsorption characteristics and kinetics of synthesized zeolite in the each metal ion solutions were studied. In each ion solutions, the adsorbed amounts of Pb, Cd, and Cu to the unit weight of synthesized zeolite were 141.6, 118.8, and 131.4mg/g respectively when each metal ion concentration was 500mg/L solution. The adsorption kinetics was fitted well to the Freundlich isotherms. The value of l/n for Pb, Cd, and Cu and 0.27, 0.50, and 0.66, respectively. Those results showed that the synthesized zeolite could be used as an adsorbent to remove single heavy metal ions in the wastewater and water. The heats of adsorption, H values of Pb, Cd, and Cu were 4.87, 14.95, and 18.23kacl/mol by the Henry-van't Hoff equation.

Temperature-dependent hydrolysis behaviors of aqueous U(VI) species were investigated with time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) in the temperature range from 15 to $75^{\circ}C$. The formation of four different U(VI) hydrolysis species was measured at pHs from 1 to 7. The predominant presence of $UO{_2}^{2+}$, $(UO_2)_2(OH){_2}^{2+}$, $(UO_2)_3(OH){_5}^+$, and $(UO_2)_3(OH){_7}^-$ species were identified based on the spectroscopic properties such as fluorescence wavelengths and fluorescence lifetimes. With an increasing temperature, a remarkable decrement in the fluorescence lifetime for all U(VI) hydrolysis species was observed, representing the dynamic quenching behavior. Furthermore, the increase in the fluorescence intensity of the further hydrolyzed U(VI) species was clearly observed at an elevated temperature, showing stronger hydrolysis reactions with increasing temperatures. The formation constants of the U(VI) hydrolysis species were calculated to be $log\;K{^0}_{2,2}=-4.0{\pm}0.6$ for $(UO_2)_2(OH){_2}^{2+}$, $log\;K{^0}_{3,5}=-15.0{\pm}0.3$ for $(UO_2)_3(OH){_5}^+$, and $log\;K{^0}_{3,7}=-27.7{\pm}0.7$ for $(UO_2)_3(OH){_7}^-$ at $25^{\circ}C$ and I = 0 M. The specific ion interaction theory (SIT) was applied for the extrapolation of the formation constants to infinitely diluted solution. The results of temperature-dependent hydrolysis behavior in terms of the U(VI) fluorescence were compared and validated with those obtained using computational methods (DQUANT and constant enthalpy equation). Both results matched well with each other. The reaction enthalpies and entropies that are vital for the computational methods were determined by a combination of the van't Hoff equation and the Gibbs free energy equation. The temperature-dependent hydrolysis reaction of the U(VI) species indicates the transition of a major U(VI) species by means of geothermal gradient and decay heat from the radioactive isotopes, representing the necessity of deeper consideration in the safety assessment of geologic repository.
