The feasibility study of soil flushing was investigated to remediate lubricant oil and zinc contaminated railway soil. In this study, mixed washing agents of surfactant and inorganic acid/base were used for the simultaneous removal. The mixed washing agent of non-ionic surfactant and HCl removed 15% of the lubricant oil and 40% of zinc, respectively. Alkaline-enhanced soil washing process increased the removal of lubricant oil up to 40%. This is because alkaline solution reduced the interfacial tension between water phase and lubricant oil phase due to the soap formation reaction. To simulate in-situ soil flushing for the remediation of railroad-related contamination, two dimensional soil flushing was carried out based on the results of batch soil washing. In the soil flushing, the removal efficiencies of lubricant oil and zinc were 34% and 16%, respectively. Even though the removal efficiency was low, the mixed washing agent can remove metal and lubricant oil simultaneously.

Gentamicin sulfate reacted with pyridoxal and zinc (II) ion in pyridine-methanol solution to yield highly fluorescent zinc(II) chelates of N-pyridoxylidene derivatives. This fluorescence reaction was sensitive and showed excitation maximum at 398nm, and emission maximum at 482nm. The effects of reagent concentration, reaction time and temperature, standing time and temperature were studied. And a new fluorophotometric method for the determination of gentamicin sulfate was developed. A good result was obtained and this method was applied to various preparations.

Zinc plays a protective role in anti-atherosclerosis but the clear mechanism has not been proposed yet. In the present study, we evaluated whether zinc modulates atherosclerotic markers, VACM-1 and ICAM-1 and cell viability both in endothelial cells in vitro and mouse aortic cell viability ex vivo. In study 1, as in vitro model, endothelial EA.hy926 cells were treated with $TNF{\alpha}$ for 5 hours for inducing oxidative stress, and then treated with Zn-adequacy ($15\;{\mu}M$ Zn) or Zn-deficiency ($0\;{\mu}M$ Zn) for 6 hours. Pro-atherosclerosis factors, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 mRNA expression and cell viability was measured. In study 2, as ex vivo model, mouse aorta ring was used. Mourse aorta was removed and cut in ring then, cultured in a 96-well plate. Aortic ring was treated with various $TNF{\alpha}$ (0-30 mg/ml) and intracellular zinc chelator, N, N, N', N', -tetrakis (2-pyridylmethyl) ethylenediamine (TPEN, $0-30\;{\mu}M$) for cellular zinc depletion for 2 days and then cell viability was measured. The results showed that in in vitro study, Zn-adequate group induced more VCAM-1 & ICAM-1 mRNA expression than Zn-deficient group during 6-hour zinc treatment post-5 hour TNF-$\alpha$ treatment, unexpectedly. These results might be cautiously interpreted that zinc would biologically induce the early expression of anti-oxidative stress through the increased adhesion molecule expression for reducing atherosclerotic action, particularly under the present 6-hour zinc treatment. In ex vivo, mouse aortic ring cell viability was decreased as TNF-$\alpha$ and TPEN levels increased, which suggests that mouse aortic blood vessel cell viability was decreased, when oxidative stress increases and cellular zinc level decreases. Taken together, it can be suggested that zinc may have a protective role in anti-atherosclerosis by cell viability in endothelial cells and aorta tissue. Further study is needed to clarify how pro-atherosclerosis molecule expression is modulated by zinc.

A solvent extraction-atomic absorption spectrophotometry for determination of trace amount of cadmium, copper, lead and zinc and a flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry for mercury in sea water were studied. The optimum pH range for solvent extraction was pH 4-7. A better solvent extraction efficiency was obtained with MIBK solvent than nitrobenzene, benzene, isoamylalcohol, n-buthylacetate. DDTC was more advantageous than APDC as chelating agent. The metals, chelated with DDTC and concentrated into MIBK by solvent extraction with a volume of $1\iota$ of sea water for cadmium, copper and lead, and 200m1 for zinc, were determined simultaneously by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. For mercury determination, 500ml of sea water was digested with permanganate-sulfuric acid and mercury( II ) was reduced by stannous chloride and aerated the solution with air pump until the absorbance reached a constant value. The precisions, in standard deviation, of these methods were 0.058ppb for cadmium, 0.084 ppb for copper, 0.44ppb for lead, 2.49ppb for zinc and 0.08 ppb for mercury. The sensitivities, expressed in $ppb/1\%$ absorption, were 0.058 ppb cadmium, 0. 15 ppb copper, 0.6 ppb lead, 1.2 ppb zinc and 0.01 ppb mercury respectively. No significant adsorption on the wall of polyethylene sample bottle occurred during 30 days of storing by acidification to pH 1.5 with nitric acid except zinc. Poor reproducibility was found for zinc with this method.

Crucian carp, Carassius carassius (Weight 42.4 ± 9.0 g, Length 15.0 ± 1.0 cm) were exposed to waterborne zinc at 0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg Zn²⁺/l for 96 hours. The lethal concentration 50 (LC₅₀) at 96 hours of crucian carp, C. carassius exposed to waterborne zinc was 51.58 mg Zn²⁺/l. In hematological parameters, the RBC count was significantly decreased in the concentration of 40 mg Zn²⁺/l at 48 hours, whereas the hematocrit was significantly increased by zinc exposure. The MCV (mean corpuscular volume) (µl) and MCH (mean corpuscular hemoglobin) (pg) were significantly increased in the concentration of 40 mg Zn²⁺/l at 48 hours. The plasma components such as calcium, magnesium, glucose, cholesterol, total protein and ALT (Alanine aminotransminase) were significantly changed by zinc exposure. The results of this study suggest that the zinc exposure to C. carassius induced the significant physiological changes in the hematological parameters and plasma components as toxicity.

Living cationic polymerization behaviors of isobutyl vinyl ehters (IBVE), initiated by iodomethyl methyl ether (IMME)/zinc iodide ($Znl_2$) have been investigated. The polymerization was carried out at 0, -15, and $-30^{\circ}C$ in toluene. It was found that the rate of polymerization increased as the IMME concentration increased and decreased as temperature decreased. 100% conversion was always achieved without exception. Furthermore, the number-average molecular weight ($M_{n}$) of polymers increased in direct proportion to monomer conversion. The molecular weights of polymers were in good agreement with the theoretical values, calculated on the basis that one polymer chain was formed by one IMME molecule and the values of polydispersity index are always less than 1.2, revealing the living nature. The living nature was also confirmed by synthesis of poly(IBVE-b-TBVE) by subsequent monomer addition of t-butyl vinyl ether (TBVE).

The nickel0zinc allot depositions have been studjen in ammonium chloridw added chloride baths to fine out the effects of ultrasonic irradiation for the electrodeposition processes. The compositions of deposited alloys, the current efficiencies, corrosion resistance and brightness in various conditions of electrodeposition were investigated, in the range of ultrasonic irradiation of 50,500 and 1,000kc/s respectively. The results obtained are as follows; 1. the ratio of nikel to zinc in the deposit increased according 시 the ammonium chloride concentration in irradiated baths. 2. The current efficiencies became also higer in the irradiated bath. 3. Ammonium ions in solution seem to retard formation of zinc hydroxide. 4. The corrsion resistance and brightness of the deposits are dependent upon nickel content of deposits which ranges 10-18%(wt)nickel in the irradiated baths and 11-15%(wt)in ninirradisted baths. 5. The corrosion resistance and brightnes of the deposited are appreciably better in the irradiated baths than in non-irradiated bath with the mole ratio of 3.4(NH+4/Ni+++Zn++).

The direct acid leaching of domestic Marmatite concentrate at elevated temperatures and pressures was investigated. Almost 100 percent of zinc was extracted from the concentrate liberating free sulfur in 4 hours at $100^{\circ}C$ when the oxygen partial pressure was 5 atm. in sulfuric acid solution. By applying the Arrhenius equation to leach reaction in the range of $60^{circ}$ to $100^{\circ}C$ at the same oxygen partial pressure, 15.7 kcal per mole of activation energy was calculated. At the initial stage of leaching, the rate of reaction increased linearly by increasing temperature and pressure. The concentration of sulfuric acid gave minor effect to leaching velocity in the range of 5 to 20 percent. The particle size should be under 270 mesh for 100 percent extraction of zinc.

A study has been made of the interaction parameters of Zn other elements in dilute solutesd solution of molten cadmium alloys over the temperature range of 450 to 570$^{\circ}C$. The experi-mental measurementss were made in a touch instant cell using a fusedd Licl-KCl electrolyte. The activity of zinc in binary and ternary solutions sexhibiteds a strong positive deviation from Raoult's law. The addition of silver, indium or lead increased the activity of zinc whereas addition of copper, bismuth or tin decreased the zinc activity slightly. The results for all the metallic solutions showed a linear dependence of reciprocal of ab-solute temperature over the experimental range. The interaction parameters obtained are as follows.
