This study was prepared to develop the sustained release dosage form of phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride (PPA) by complexation with cation exchange resin(CER). The PPA-CER complex was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) thennogram, indicating a relative shift of an endometric peak of PPA to higher temperature. The loading efficiency was increased as the amount of PPA was increased as well as the time of fractional exchange was advanced as the temperatures were increased. Loading efficiency, fractional exchange, reaction rate constant and activation energy were highly dependent on the temperature and drug : resin ratio. The optimal ratio of PPA and resin was estimated to be 10: 10 for the sustained release.

In order to examine the availability and effectiveness of crab shell for the removal of heavy metals in aqueous solution the crab shell was compared with cation exchange resin(CER), zeolite granular activated carbon (GAC) and powdered activated carbon(PAC) on aspects of heavy metal removal capacity rate and efficiency. In the removal of Pb, Cd and Cr, the heavy metal removal capacity of crab shell was higher than those of any other sorbents (CER, zeolite, GAC, PAC) and the order of heavy metal removal capacity was crab shell>CER>zeolite>PAC GAC. However in the removal of Cu, the result of crab shell was slightly lower than that of CER. The initial heavy metal removal rate was affected by the sorts of sorbents and metals. In all heavy metals the heavy metal removal rate of crab shell was higher than those of any other sorbents. Under the heavy metal concentration of 1.0 mmole/$\ell$ the heavy metal removal efficiency of crab shell was maintained as 93~100% which was much higher than those of any other sorbents.

Crab shell의 중금속 제거 가능성과 그 효율을 검토하기 위하여 chemical sorbent인 cation exchange resin(CER), zeolite, granular activated carbon(GAC), powdered activated carbon(PAC)의 중금속 제거능을 비교한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 도출할 수 있었다. 1) 0.1 mM～l.0 mM의 초기 중금속 농도에서 중금속 제거량에 미치는 영향을 비교해 보았을 때 중금속 제거의 평형에 도달하는 시간은 농도가 높을수록 오래 걸렸으며 단위 흡착제 질량당 중금속 제거량은 초기 중금속 농도가 높을수록 증가하였다. 특히 구리 이온 제거 실험에서는 낮은 농도에서 crab shell의 구리 이온 제거량이 CER의 경우보다 조금 떨어지는 경향을 보였으나, 대부분의 중금속 제거에 있어서는 crab shell이 다른 chemical sorbent에 비해 뛰어난 중금속 제거능력을 보였다. 2) 흡착 등온 모델에 적용해 보았을 때, 단위 흡착제 질량당 중금속 최대 흡착량이 crab shell > CER > zeolite > PAC =GAC의 순으로, 모든 중금속 제거 실험에서 crab shell이 가장 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다. 실제 폐수처리 공정에서는 GAC나 PAC가 많이 이용되고 있는데, 수중의 중금속을 보다 효율적이고 경제적으로 처리할 수 있는 crab shell을 폐수처리 공정에 응용할 수 있는 방안을 검토할 필요성이 있을 것으로 판단된다.
