In this study, we synthesized bead-type GMA-DVB copolymer using glycidylmethacrylate (GMA) with high reactivity and hydrophilicity. Macrorecticular anion exchanger containing the trimethylammonium group were then prepared by amination with trimethylammonium chloride. We observed that the size of $NO_3^-$ is smaller than that of $SO_4^{2-}$ which disturb $NO_3^-$ removal in most of coexistent anions in ground water. Thus we investigated selective affinity for $NO_3^-$ and properties of individual ion exchangers with various DVB content. For each resins, we confirmed formation of copolymer by FT-IR spectrometer and investigated ion exchange capacity, swelling ratio, the amination yield and the effect with degree of crosslinking on adsorbability for nitrate. When amount of DVB is 4 wt%, amination yield, ion exchange capacity and swelling ratio was 384.3%, 3.25 meq/g and 77.1%, respectively. In these result, it can found that synthetic optimal condition is 4 wt% DVB content for monomer.

A method has been described for the chemical speciation, preconcentration and determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) species in filtered tannery waste waters by flame atomic absorption spectrometry using ion-exchange resins. Amberlite IR-120($H^+$) strongly acidic cation exchanger and Amberlite IRA-410($CI ^-$) strongly basic anion exchanger resins were used for the separation and preconcentration of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) species, respectively. Optimum condition for preconcentration and speciation was obtained by testing pH of sample and eluent, flow rates of sample and eluent, amount of resins, volume of sample and eluents, and effect of foreign ions. The recommended method has been successfully applied for the preconcentration and determination of chromium species in the dissolved phase of waste water samples collected from a tannery waste water treatment plant in Kayseri, Turkey. The detection limits achieved were 0.73 $\mu$g/L for Cr(III) and 0.81 $\mu$g/L for Cr(VI). Recovery studies showed 99% for Cr(III) and 98% for Cr(VI), for samples spiked with single species.

Peroxynitrite enters erythrocytes through band 3 anion exchanger and oxidizes cytosolic proteins therein. As a protein associated with band 3, carbonic anhydrase II may suffer from peroxynitrite-induced oxidative damages. Esterase activity of carbonic anhydrase II decreased as the concentration of peroxynitrite increased. Neither hydrogen peroxide nor hypochlorite affected the enzyme activity. Inactivation of the enzyme was in parallel with the release of zinc ion, which is a component of the enzyme's active site. SDS-PAGE of peroxynitrite-treated samples showed no indication of fragmentation but non-denaturing PAGE exhibited new bands with lower positive charges. Western analysis demonstrated that nitration of tyrosine residues increased with the peroxynitrite concentration but the sites of nitration could not be determined. Instead MALDI-TOF analysis identified tryptophan-245 as a site of nitration. Such modification of tryptophan residues is responsible for the decrease in tryptophan fluorescence. These results demonstrate that peroxynitrite nitrates tyrosine and tryptophan residues of carbonic anhydrase II without causing fragmentation or dimerization. The peroxynitrite-induced inactivation of the enzyme is primarily due to the release of zinc ion in the enzyme's active site.

PP-g-AA-Am nonwoven fabric, which possess anionic exchangeable function, was prepared by chemical modification of carboxyl (-COOH) group of PP-g-AA nonwoven fabric to amine ($-NH_2$) group using diethylene triamine (DETA). Its adsorption characteristics for anionic nutrients including isotherm, kinetics and co-anions were studied by batch adsorption experiments. Adsorption equilibriums of $PO_4$-P on PP-g-AA-Am fabric were well described by the Langmuir isotherm model, and their adsorption energies were ranged 10.3 kJ/mol indicating an ion-exchange process as primary adsorption mechanism. The adsorption selectivity of PP-g-AA-Am nonwoven fabric for anions under competition with each other was in following order: $SO_4\;^{2-}$>$PO_4\;^{3-}$>$NO_3\;^-$>$NO_2\;^-$. Also, all results obtained from this study indicate that the $PO_4$-P removal capacity of PP-g-AA-Am nonwoven fabric was extremely superior to that of PA308 anion-exchange resin.

The adsorption properties for $NO_{2}$ by hybrid ion exchange fiber with resins were investigated. The adsorption of $NO_{2}$ was increased with increasing of adsorption time and the initial concentration. At the initial $NO_{2}$ concentration of 900 ppm, approximately 40% of initial $NO_{2}$ was adsorbed around 20 min. And the adsorption of $NO_{2}$ was decreased with increasing of flow rate from 20 to 40 L/min. The maximum adsorbed amount of initial $NO_{2}$ was 45% at the flow rate of 10 L/min. The amount of adsorption was increased with increasing the water content.

In 10M chloride (4M HCl + 6M LiCl) solution, cobalt, but not nickel, formed complex anion (${CoCl_3}^-$), and this anion was extracted by a liquid anion exchanger with Amberlite LA-2. The ion exchange capacity was 2.175meq of cobalt complex per unit ml of Amberlite LA-2. Upon eluting the resin with 0.4M nitric acid, the cobalt complex was stripped and transfered into eluate quantitatively. By using this separation method in the chloride solution dissolved with 50mg of cobalt (II) and 500mg of nikel(II), recovery of cobalt were 99.6 percent.

We synthesized HPP-g-GMA copolymer using pre-irradiation method by E-beam and aminated HPP-g-GMA using amination reaction. Degree of grafting increased with increasing GMA monomer concentration and showed the maximum value of 130% at 1.46 M of GMA. The degree of amination increased with increasing the degree of grafting. When the degree of grafting was 100%, degree of amination showed the maximum value of 37.4%. The ion exchange capacity of aminated HPP-g-GMA was about 3.78 meq/g, and it showed remarkable adsorption ability of hollow fiber ion exchanger. Through the BET analysis, the surface area of aminated HPP-g-GMA was 54.83 $\m^2/g$ and the mean pore size was $26\AA$. These showed the decrease of surface area and the slight increase of the mean pore size. SEM results show that the thickness of fiber increased after the step of reaction and there pore blocking phenomena was not observed. The aminated HPP-g-GMA was synthesized successfully and found to be suitable for the adsorption and separation of anion.

Aminated PONF-9-GMA ion exchange fabrics were synthesized by radiation induced graft copolymerization. Hybrid ion exchange fabrics combined with aminated PONF-g-GMA fabrics and anionic ion exchange resin were also fabricated by hot melt adhesion method and then their adsorption properties were investigated. Ion exchange capacity of the hybrid ion exchange fabrics was higher than ion exchange fabric and was lower than bead resin. The maximum value was 4.18 meq/g. Adsorption breakthrough time for vanadium of the hybrid ion exchange fabric was 550 min, which was faster than bead resin but slower than fibrous ion exchanger. The Breakthrough time of the hybrid ion exchange fabrics gets longer with increasing pH. The initial breakthrough time occurred around 400 min with increasing vanadium concentration.

Ion chromatographic method has been applied for burnup measurement of irradiated nuclear fuel by dynamic system using 1-octanesulfonate as a cation exchanger and $\alpha$-hydroxyisobutyric acid as an eluant. A number of elution techniques were evaluated for the optimum separation of plutonium, uranium and neodymium. These elements were individually separated and collected by gradient elution between 0.05 M and 0.40 M of $\alpha$-hydroxyisobutyric acid in a single column, and finally determined by isotope dilution mass spectrometry. The burnup data from this method were compared with those from conventional anion exchange method. The results showed a good agreement within 3.5 % of difference between two methods.

Ion exchange fibers, high functionalized onto hybrid polyolefine fiber's surface, were synthesized by $\gamma-ray$ mutual radiation. Degree of grafting (DG) of copolymer increased with increasing GMA monomer concentration and the maximum rate of DG was 355% at 50 GMA. The graft reaction occurred in polar solvent and DG was 190% maximum value in $1.0\times10^{-3}$ Mohr's salt and 0.1 M sulfuric acid, respectively. The amination for graft copolymers varied depending on amine reagents, and the reactivity for copolymers was highest for methylamine, and that of triethylamine lowest. It was shown that water uptake and ion exchange capacities increased with increase in the rate of amination while surface area decreased rapidly as proceeding for graft reaction and amination.
