In water-ethanol systems, the limiting equivalent conductances of electrolytes were obtained using conductometric method. Using TATB method, the limiting equivalent ionic conductances of Li+, Na+, K+, Cl-, and Br- ions were also obtained. The effective radii of corresponding ions were determined using Nightingale method. From the volume of the solvation shell, the four solvation numbers were suggested. The reasonable solvation numbers (hH2O+hO) were estimated by comparing the values obtained by from the various suggested methods. The isosolvation point of ion in water-ethanol estimated was found to be larger than that of in water-methanol. This result agree with ET (solvent polarity) values of solvents. From the reasonable solvation numbers of ions in water-ethanol, the selective solvents of corresponding ions in water-ethanol were obtained.

The adsorptions of gaseous $H_2O\;and\;D_2O\;on\;Na^+-,\;Ca^{2+}-,\;and\;Al^{3+}$ montmorillonites at various temperatures were undertaken. Break down of ir hydroxyl stretching bands into four Gaussian components was made by means of manual technique. Resonance theory of water to form silanol hydroxyl group was supported by $3625cm^{-1}$ band for OH and $2680cm^{-1}$ band for OD which depend on amounts of water adsorbed. The broad bands at about $3400 cm^{-1}\;and\;2475cm^{-1}$ were assigned to stretching band of silanol OH hydrogen bonded to adsorbed water. The prominent $3230 cm^{-1}$ band together with component around $2345 cm^{-1}$ were attributed to adsorbed $H_2O\;and\;D_2O$ respectively. The chemical nature of the hydrogen bonding between adsorbed water and neighboring surface OH was explained adequately in terms of electrostatic interaction.

The effect of process parameters on $H_2$ production from water vapor excited by HF ICP has been qualitatively examined for the first time. With the increase of ICP power, characteristics of $H_2$ production from $H_2O$ dissociation in plasma was divided into 3 regions according to both reaction mechanism and energy efficiency. At the edge of region (II) in the range of middle ICP power, energy effective hydrogen production from $H_2O$ plasma can be achieved. Furthermore, within the region (II) power condition, heating of substrate up to $500^{\circ}C$ shows additional increase of 70~80% in $H_2$ production compared to $H_2O$ plasma without substrate heating. This study have shown that combination of optimal plasma power (region II) and wall heating (around $500^{\circ}C$) is one of effective ways for $H_2$ production from $H_2O$.

The interaction between adsorbed water and hydrogen on metallic surfaces is important for fundamental understanding of heterogeneous catalysis and electrode surface reactions in acidic environment. Here, we explore a long-standing question of whether hydronium ion can exist or not on a Pt surface coadsorbed with atomic hydrogen and water. Studies based on mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy show clear evidence that hydrogen atoms are converted into hydrated protons on a Pt(111) surface. The preferential structures of hydrated protons are identified as multiply hydrated $H_5O_2{^+}$ and $H_7O_3{^+}$ species rather than as hydronium ions. The multiply hydrated protons may be regarded as two dimensional zundel ($H_5O_2{^+}$) and Eigen cation ($H_7O_3{^+}$) in water-metal interface. These surface-bound hydrated protons may be key surface intermediates of the electrochemical interconversion between adsorbed hydrogen atoms and solvated protons.

Dispersion polymerization of acrylamide was carried out in the media of methyl alcohol/$H_2O$ mixtures using hydroxypropyl cellulose and ammonium persulfate as steric stabilizer and initiator, respectively. The effects of concentrations of initiator and steric stabilizer, amount of monomer, polymerization temperature, methyl alcohol/$H_2O$ ratio, and purification of monomer and nitrogen purge on the particle size of the latices and molecular weight of the polymers were investigated. The average particle diameter increased with increasing concentration of initiator, water content in methyl alcohol/$H_2O$ media, and polymerization temperature, but decreased with monomer and stabilizer concentrations. The viscosity average molecular weight increased with increasing concentrations of monomer, steric stabilizer, and water content in dispersion media, but decreased with initiator concentration and polymerization temperature. The PAM polymers prepared with the purified monomer and the nitrogen purging before the reaction showed the highest molecular weight.

Objective : The water extract of Seokchangpowonji-san (SWS) has traditionally been used for treatment of dementia in oriental medicine. However, little is known about the mechanism by which the water extract of SWS rescues cells from neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer's disease. Methods & Results: This study was designed to investigate the protective mechanisms of SWS on $\beta-amyloid$ or $H_2O_2$-induced$ cytotoxicity in neuro 2A cells. $H_2O_2$ markedly decreased the viability of neuro 2A cells, which was characterized by apparent apoptotic features such as membrane blebbing as well as fragmentation of genomic DNA and nuclei. However, the water extract of SWS significantly reduced $H_2O_2-induced$ cell death and apoptotic characteristics through reduction of intracellular peroxide generation. Also, the. extract prevented the mitochondrial dysfunction including the disruption of mitochondria membrane permeability transition (MPT) and the modulation in expression of Bcl-2 family proteins in $H_2O_2­treated$ neuro 2A cells. Furthermore, pretreatment with SWS inhibited the activation of caspase-3, and in turn, degradation of ICAD/DFF45 was completely abolished in $H_2O_2-treated$ cells. Conclusion: Taken together, the data suggest that the protective effects of the water extract of SWS against $\beta-amyloid$ induced oxidative injuries may be achieved through modulation of mitochondrial dysfunction.

The crystal structure of $[Co(phen)_2(Cl)(H_2O)] Clㆍ2H_2O$(phen=1,10-phenanthroline) has been determined by X-ray crystallography. It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1, with lattice parameters a=9.662(2), b=11.445(1), c=13.037(2)${\AA}$ ${\alpha}$=64.02(1), ${\beta}$=86.364(9), ${\gamma}=78.58(2)^°$, and Z=2. The coordinated cations contain a six-coordinated cobalt atom chelated by two phen ligands and one chloride anion and one water ligand in cis arrangement. In addition to the chloride coordinated to the cobalt, there are one chloride ion and four water molecules which complete the crystal structure. In the solid state, the title compound forms three dimensional network structure through hydrogen bonds, within which exists the strongest hydrogen bond (O(3)-O(4)=2.33${\AA}$). The intermolecular hydrogen bonds connect the $[Co(phen)_2(Cl)(H_2O)]1+,\;H_2O$ moieties and chloride ion.

The degradation efficiency of chlorophenolic compounds in $TiO_2/H_2O_2$ combined system was compared with that of in $TiO_2$ sole system. As a result, the addition of hydrogen peroxide in photocatalytic oxidation reaction greatly enhanced the degradation efficiency of chlorophenolic compounds due to the availability of the hydroxyl radical formed on the $TiO_2$ surface. The hydrogen peroxide under UV illumination produces hydroxyl radicals that appear to be another source of hydroxyl radical formation. These results indicated the $TiO_2/H_2O_2$ combined system shows higher degradation efficiency than the $TiO_2$ sole system. Compared to another oxidation reaction, hydrogen peroxide assisted photocatalytic oxidation is more promising in practical aspect.

The hydrolysis and condensation reactions in the mixed alkoxide solutions of Si(OC2H5)4 and Zr(O-nC3H7)4 with various water contents (1, 2, 4, and 8 in molar ratio to alkoxide, r) and catalysts were examined by rheological measurements and the number average molecular weight in order to explain the shape of the polymer in the mixed alkoxide solutions. It was found that fibers could be drawn in the viscosity range of 1∼100P from the acid-catalyzed solutions with lower water contents of the mole ratio H2O/alkoxide, r 2. On the other hand, crack free bulk gel was formed from the acid-catalyzed solutions including a large amount of water (r 4), and the base-catalyzed solutions. The relation between the intrinsic viscosity [{{{{ eta }}] and the number average molecular weight n, namely [{{{{ eta }}]=Knα, has shown that the acid-catalyzed spinnable solutions (r=1 and 2) have linear polymers and the exponent α's are about 0.56 and 0.81, whereas non-spinnable solutions (r=4 and 8) have three dimensional network polymers or spherical particles and the exponent α's are 0.41∼0.51 and 0.35.

A and Y type zeolitic crystal films were synthesized on porous supports from the reaction mixture of 1.9 $SiO_2-1.5\;Na_2O-Al_2O_3-40\;H_2O$ and 10 $SiO_2-7\;Na_2O-Al_2O_3-280\;H_2O$ composition, respectively. The zeolite film was characterized by XRD and SEM. The crystals grown on the porous matrix were very closely bound together and the thickness of membrane was about 8-15$\mu \textrm{m}$. The densely intergrown crystals could be also synthesized by the hydrothermal treatment at $100^{\circ}C$ after pressing the reaction mixture without addition of water. A zeolite membrane crystallized as a thin film showed the selective permeability of water from water and methanol mixture through the molecular sieving activity of micropores.
