In this study, the method of adsorption by activated carbon in the removal of Hg(II) ion in waste water was treated. The influence of kinds of activated carbon and effect of temperature and the influence of coexistent salt on adsorption rates, the influence of pH in the adsorption, equilibrium and adsorption of mercury from activated carbon were investigated. From the adsorption on activated carbon of mercury(II) ion in the presence of cyanide or thiocyanate ion was found that mercury(II) was easily adsorved onto the activated carbon in the form of complex artion such as Hg(CN)$_4^{2-}$, Hg(SCN)$_4^{2-}$ respectively. ZnCl$_2$ activation method had a higher adsorptive ability than steam activation method in adsorption of Hg on activated carbon. Activated carbon adsorbed iodide ion is very effective on adsorption of Hg.

A gelastatins (1), natural MMP inhibitors, and their hydroxamate analogues (2) in TACE enzyme evaluated for discovery of potent TACE inhibitors. We have employed molecular dynamics simulations to compute the relative free energy of hydration and binding to TACE for gelastatin (1) and its hydroxamate analogue (2). The relative free energy difference is directly described in this article using the free energy perturbation approach as a means to accurately predict the TACE inhibitor of gelastatin analogues. The results show that the good agreement between the experimental and theoretical relative free energies of binding, gelastatin hydroxamate (2) binds stronger to TACE by -3.37 kcal/mol. The desolvation energy costs significantly reduced binding affinity, hydroxamate group associated with high desolvation energy formed strong favorable interactions with TACE with more than compensated for the solvation costs and therefore led to an improvement in relative binding affinity.

Accurate analysis of fly ash particles is not trivial because of complex nature in physical and chemical properties. SPLITT fractionation (SF) was employed to fractionate the fly ash particles into subpopulations in large quantities. Then the SF-fractions were analyzed by the steric mode of sedimentation field-flow fractionation (Sd/StFFF) for size analysis. The SF-fractions were also analyzed by ICP-OES. The results showed that the fly ash is mainly composed of Fe, Ca, Mg and Mn. No particular trends were observed between the particle size and the concentrations of Fe, Ca, Mg, while Mn, Cu and Zn were in higher concentrations in smaller particles. Sample preparation procedures were established, where the fly ash particles were sieved to remove large contaminants, and then washed with acetone to remove organics on the surface of particles. The sample preparation and analysis methods developed in this study could be applied to other environmental particles.

We have studied properties(crystal structure, density, absorption, contraction, initial permeability, and permeability) of Ni$_{0.175-x}$Cu$_{x}$Zn$_{0.33}$Fe$_{0.495}$ (x=0~0.175) ferrites with various NiO and CuO, because of development of materials for high frequency inductor. The XRD peaks of all of samples were observed only spine이 phase. As a results of the density, absorption rate, and shrinkage rate, the grain growth progressed rapidly in x=0.1 at 95$0^{\circ}C$, x=0.075 at 105$0^{\circ}C$, and x=0.025 at 115$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. Initial permeability increased with increasing CuO concentration until x=0.1, and then decreased. The complex permeability as a function frequency were high values at sintered 105$0^{\circ}C$ fotr3 hours in x=0.075, 0.1., 0.1.1.

Dry processes like evaporation and sputtering in vacuum chamber are difficult to make a uniform, large area and high quality film on thin PET substrate because of PET degradation and bad adhesion. On the other hand, wet processes like electro or electroless plating have complex processes and require high environmental cost. In this study, we successfully prepared $2{\mu}m$ Zn/Cu/Ni multilayers coated on $12{\mu}m$ polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate by using dry-wet mixing processes. Their surface electric resistances were evaluated around $0.2{\Omega}$ by using 4 probe measurements. Furthermore, their corrosion resistance also evaluated by natural potential test and compared with other wet, dry and mixing process samples.

The spectrophotometric determination of Cu(Ⅱ) with α-(2-benzimidazolyl)-α',α"-(N-5-nitro-2-pyridylhydrazone)-toluene has been investigated. The optimum conditions of pH, stability, concentration of ligand and surfactant were evaluated. This method is a simple and sensitive method for determination of Cu(Ⅱ) and offers a selective separation of Cu(Ⅱ) from sample solution containin- I ppm below amount of Ni(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ), Zn(Ⅱ) and Sn(Ⅱ). Copper was determined by measuring the absorbance of Cu(Ⅱ)-BINPHT complex extracted with benzene in Brij 58 surfactant at 410 nm. Beer's law is obeyed over the concentration range 0∼2.5 μgmL-1 and the detection limit (S/N=2) is 0.06 μgmL-1. The relative standard deviation at the 0.3 μgmL-1 is 2.4% (N=7). The method was applied for the determination of Cu(Ⅱ) in various milks.

The lifetime and corrosion resistance of the coating depends on its thickness and composition. We checked how the plating progressed according to the shape of the product to be plated. There was no significant difference in the composition or thickness of the plating according to the shape of the separately plated products. Samples of different shapes collected from products with complex shapes showed no significant difference in composition depending on the shape, but significant differences in thickness. This difference is due to the difference in applied current density depending on the shape of the product.

The water quality of Lake Shihwa had been rapidly deteriorating since 1994 due to wastewater input from the watersheds, limited water circulation and the lack of a wastewater treatment policy. In 2000, the government decided to open the tidal embankment and make a comprehensive management plan to improve the water quality, especially inflowing stream water around Shihwa and Banwol industrial complex. However, the water quality and microbial community have not as yet been fully evaluated. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influent water quality around the industrial area based on chemical and biological analysis, and collected surface water sample from the Siheung Stream, up-stream to down-stream through the industrial complex, Samples were collected in July 2009. The results show that the downstream site near the industrial complex had higher concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Mn, Fe, Mg, and Zn) and organic matter than upstream sites. A combination of DGGE (Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis) gels, lists of K-WQI (Korean Water Quality Index), cluster analysis, MDS (Multi-Dimensional Scaling) and PCA (Principal Component Analysis) has demonstrated clear clustering between Siheung stream 3 and 4 and with a high similarity and detected metal reducing bacteria (Shewanella spp.) and biodegrading bacteria (Acinetobacter spp.). These results suggest that use of both chemical and microbiological marker would be useful to fully evaluate the water quality.

To study the distribution and the behavior of trace metals in Kwangyang Bay, surface water samples were collected four times from August 1997 to May 1998 and were analyzed for trace metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Zn) by Atomic Absorption Spectrometer and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer. Dissolved Co and Fe concentrations were comparatively high near the Seomjin River mouth. Particulate trace metal contents were relatively high near the Sueochun River mouth and near the Yeochun industrial complex. Distribution coefficients ($K_d$; $Lkg^1$) between dissolved and particulate phases of Fe, Pb, Co, Zn, Ni, Cu and Cd were $1.67{\times}10^8$, $1.37{\times}10^6$, $7.25{\times}10^5$, $4.43{\times}10^5$, $1.39{\times}10^5$, $9.1{\times}10^4$ and $1.8{\times}10^4$, respectively. In Kwangyang Bay, particulate trace-metal concentrations were as high as dissolved ones and showed seasonal and geographic variations.

The Kamkye Cu-Pb-Zn-Au-Ag deposits occur as quartz veins that filled fault-related fractures of NW system developed in the Cretaceous Gyeongsang basin. Three major stages of mineral deposition are recognized: (1) the stage I associated with wall rock alteration, such as sericite, chlorite, epidote and pyrite, (2) the early stage II of base-metal mineralization such as pyrite, hematite, and small amounts of sphalerite and chalcopyrite. and the middle to late stage II of Cu-As-Sb-Au-Ag-S mineralization, such as sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena with tetrahedrite, tennantite, pearceite, Pb-Bi-Cu-S system, argentite and electrum. (3) the stage III of supergene mineralization, such as covellite, chalcocite and malachite. K-Ar dating of alteration sericite is a late Cretaceous ($74.0{\pm}1.6Ma$) and it may be associated with granitic activity of nearby biotite granite and quartz porphyry. Fluid inclusion data suggest a complex history of boiling, cooling and dilution of ore fluids. Stage II mineralization occurred at temperatures between 370 to $220^{\circ}C$ from fluids with salinities of 8.4 to 0.9 wt.% NaCl. Early stage II($320^{\circ}C$, 2.0 wt.% NaCl) may be boiled due to repeated fracturing which opened up the hydrothermal system to the land surface, and which resulted in a base-metal sulfide. Whilst the fractures were opened to the surface, mixing of middle-late stage II ore fluids with meteoric waters resulted in deposition of Cu-As-Sb-Au-Ag minerals from low temperature fluids(${\leq}290^{\circ}C$). Boiling of ore fluids may be occured at a pressure of 112 bar and a depth of 412 m. Equilibrium thermodynamic interpretation of sphalerite-tetraherite assemblages in middle stage II indicates that the ore-forming fluid had log fugacities of $S_2$ of -6.6~-9.4 atm.
