An extensive experimental survey on the retention behaviors of phenols in the binary solvent system such as methanol-water, acetonitrile-water and tetrahydrofuran-water as well as the ternary solvent system such as methanol-acetonitrile-water and methanol-tetrahydrofuran-water is presented. A linear equation, which describes the capacity factor as a function of the solvent composition in the mobile phase and is able to predict the retention behaviors of phenols, was obtained. The iso-eluotropic lines for the binary and ternary solvent system are based on the equal strength of the methanol-water solvent which shows an optimum separation of the phenols used. The specific effect of each solute in the binary solvent system appeared to be larger than those in the ternary system.

For the fast dry of the aqueous tape, the process which water was replaced by organic solvent was proposed. So-called, it was the solvent washing dry, Three organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, and acetone) were selected for the washing solvent. The weight loss of the washed tapes was measured to evaluate the dry rate of the tapes and dried tapes were examined the generation of the cracks with the variations of the organic solvent and the washing time. Methanol, ethanol, and acetone were all available organic solvents for this method. The tapes washed in methanol, ethanol, and acetone were dried rapidly for twenty minutes. After thirty minutes, the weight losses were not any more. The solvent of the lower surface tension can decreases the crack of dried tape. If solvent substitutes water completely, though it was fast dried, crack can be eliminated. The tape casting system was designed for the solvent washing dry and prepared. An homogeneous tape was established by continuous tape casting process.

The preconcentration and determination of trace elements in water samples were studied by a solvent sublation utilizing dithizonate complexation. After metal dithizonates were formed, trace amounts of cadmium, cobalt, copper and lead were floated and extracted into small volume of a water-immiscible organic solvent on the surface of sample solution and determined in the solvent directly by GF-AAS. Several experimental conditions as formation condition of metal-dithizonate complexes, pH of solution, amount of dithizone, stirring time, the type and amount of surfactants, N2 bubbling rate and so on were optimized for the complete formation and effective flotation of the complexes. And also four kinds of light solvents were compared each other to extract the floated complexes, effectively. After the pH was adjusted to 4.0 with 5 M HNO3, 8.0 mL of 0.05% acetone solution of dithizone was added to 1.00 L water sample. The dithizonate complexes were flotated and extracted into the upper methyl isobutylketone (MIBK) layer by the addition of 2.0 mL 0.2% ethanolic sodium lauryl sulfate solution and with the aid of small nitrogen gas bubbles. And this solvent sublation method was applied to the analysis of real water samples and good results of more than 85% recoveries were obtained in spiked samples.

Detergency and soil redeposition of wool fabric in 8 nonionic surfactants (Span 20, 40, 60, 80/Tween 20, 40, 60, 80) and 4 solvents (water, petroleum, perchloroethylene(PCE), decamethylcyclopentasiloxane($D_5$)) were studied. Detergency of wool fabric in water was very low with and without surfactants due to the low wetting and difficulty in penetration of water into the fabric. Lipophilic surfactants improved the detergency of wool fabric in petroleum solvent and PCE. The detergency of wool fabric in $D_5$ was similar to that in petroleum solvent without surfactants. When water was solubilized, Span 20 addition to petroleum solvent and PCE increased the detergency of wool fabric. The detergency for $D_5$ was improved with solubilized water, however, it was lowered when the surfactants were added to the system. Therefore, it is important to formulate appropriate detergents which have good solubility and affinity to silicone for $D_5$ charge system. Hydrophilic surfactants were effective for water and lipophilic surfactants were effective for petroleum solvent and PCE in soil redeposition prevention of wool fabric. The soil redeposition prevention effects are not found in $D_5$ with both Span 20 and Tween 20. The same tendency of results in soil redeposition of wool fabric is observed when water is solubilized.

A method is described for the determination of the Po nuclides in a water sample. After the Po nuclides were purified from interfering elements in a water sample using a manganese dioxide precipitation followed by a solvent extraction method, the Po nuclides were deposited onto the silver plate. A large volume of the water sample was effectively pretreated with manganese dioxide precipitation method. To determine the optimum conditions for plating Po, the effects of the pH, volume, temperature and time on the Po deposition were investigated in hydrochloric acid solution. The investigated determination method of Po nuclides with solvent extraction was applied to a tap water sample.

The N hyperfine coupling constants ($a_N$) of di-t-butyl nitroxide (DTBN) radicals in water-solvent system were measured with EPR spectroscopy. Various kinds of the solvents with different polarity such as acetone, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), methanol, ethanol and 1-propanol were applied and studied. Equilibrium constants for the solvation equilibrium and the solvent parameters ($E_T$, molar transition energy) of various water-solvent system were obtained from the experimental results and are presented. The $a_N$ values were plotted as a function of mole fraction of the solvent. In case of water-DMSO, water-ethanol and water-1-propanol system, slight negative deviations from the straight line were observed. In water-acetone system, the absorption wavelength (${\lambda}$) due to ${\eta}{\rightarrow}{\pi}^{\ast}$ transition increased linearly with the increase of mole fraction of acetone. The relationship between $a_N$ of DTBN and ${\lambda}$ due to ${\eta}{\rightarrow}{\pi}^{\ast}$ transition in water-acetone and water-DMSO system was examined. It was found that the electronic structure of the nitroxide radicals is stablized from the fact that the N hyperfine coupling constants of DTBN radicals are greatly unaffected in the environment of water-solvent system.

The purpose of this study is to substitute water-based painting materials for the current solvent-based ones used in motor-repairing process to minimize the exposure of organic solvents to the painters. This study assessed the exposure of organic solvents to the painters using water-based and solvent-based painting materials and compared compositions, painting processes and the health hazards of the application of these alternative painting mate rials. The results of this study are as follows. 1. solvent-based painting materials used in motor-repairing process consist of various organic solvents, which consist primarily of toluene, xylene, ethyl benzene, ethyl methyl benzene, trimethyl benzene, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone, 2-ethoxy ethanol, 2-ethoxy ethyl acetate and toluene-2,4-diisocianate and the others. These organic solvents are known as health-hazardous substances. But water-based painting materials are high-solid, low-solvent one sand consist of such two organic solvents as 2-butoxy ethanol and 2-heptanone and the others. 2. The painters us ing solvent-based painting mate rials in motor-repairing process are exposed to various organic solvents which consist of toluene, xylene, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone, trimethyl benzene, 2-ethoxy ethanol, and 2-ethoxy ethyl acetate. But the painters using solvent-based ones are only exposed to 2-butoxy ethanol and 2-heptanone. 3. By using water-based painting materials in stead of solvent-based painting materials containing health-hazardous organic solvents, the exposure of such organic solvents in the painter's breathing zone can be largely prevented. 4. This study recommends water-based painting materials as substitutes for the current solvent-based ones used in motor-repairing process to minimize the exposure of organic solvents to the painters.

Poly(trimethylene terephthalate)(PTT) fiber was pretreated with organic solvent/water solution of various compositions. The organic solvents used in this experiment were benzyl alcohol, n-buthanol, and N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF). Density of the fibers were investigated as a measure of crystallite region. The dye uptake increased in the order of pretreatment with hot water < untreated < 5% benzyl alcohol < 100% benzyl alcohol < 90% benzyl alcohol; hot water < untreated $\risingdotseq$ 5% butanol < 100% beutanol < 90% butanol; hot water $\risingdotseq$ 5% DMF < untreated < 90% DMF < 100% DMF. The dye uptake increases with increase of crystallinity. It seems likely that the recrystallization process during the pretreatment with organic solvent/water solutions leads to an increase in the microvoid and then a large increase in the dye uptake. Also the dyeing rate increased and the dyeing transition temperature decreased with the pretreatments. The results obtained are corresponds with the plasticization of the fiber structure formed during the pretreatrnent.

On-line conversion estimation of enzymatic esterification reactions in solvent-free media was investigated. In principle, conversion to ester can be determined from the amount of water produced by the reaction, because water is formed as a by-product in a stoichiometric manner. In this study, we estimated the water production rate only from some measurements of relative humidity and water balances without using any analytical methods. In order to test the performance of the on-line conversion estimation, the lipase-catalyzed esterification of n-capric acid and n-decal alcohol in solvent-free media was performed whilst controlling water activity at various values. The reaction conversions estimated on-line were similar to those determined by offline gas chromatographic analysis. However, when the water activity was controlled at higher values, discrepancies between the estimated conversion values and the measured values became significant. The deviation was found to be due to the inaccurate measurement of the water content in the reaction medium during the initial stages of the reaction. Using a digital filter, we were able to improve the accuracy of the on-line conversion estimation method considerably. Despite the simplicity of this method, the on-line estimated conversions were in good agreement with the off-line measured values.

The solvent sublation using ion pairs of metal-2-naphthoate(2-HNph) and tetrabutyl ammonium ($TBA^+$) ion has been studied for the concentration and determination of ultra trace Bi(III), In(III) and Tl(Ⅲ) ions in water samples. The partition coefficients ($K_p$) and the extraction percentages of 2-HNph and the ion pairs to methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) were obtained as basic data. After the ion pair $TBA^+$·M$(Nph)_4^-$ was formed in water samples, the analytes were concentrated by the solvent sublation and the elements were determined by GF-AAS. The pH of the sample solution, the amount of the ligand and counter ion added and stirring time were optimized for the efficient formation of the ion pair. The type and amount of optimum surfactant, bubbling time with nitrogen and the type of solvent were investigated for the solvent sublation as well. 10.0 mL of 0.1 M 2-HNph and 2.0 mL of 0.1 M $TBA^+$ were added to a 1.0 L sample solution at pH 5.0. After 2.0 mL of 0.2%(w/v) Triton X-100 was added, the ion pairs were extracted into 20.0 mL MIBK in a flotation cell by bubbling. The analytes were determined by a calibration curve method with measured absorbances in MIBK, and the recovery was 80-120%.
