Two methods, IDMS (Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry) and controlled potential coulometry are compared by the determination of Pu for the NBL, CRM No.122, $PuO_2$. The recovery of Pu was found to be $1.002176{\pm}0.000452$ within the relative standard deviation of 0.045% (95% conf. level) although a small size of sample ($0.9{\mu}g$-Pu) was used in IDMS. The recovery using controlled potential coulometry were obtained in the range of 0.9923~0.9960. The analytical results of IDMS and controlled potential coulometry were good agreement within 0.6~1%. Base on these experiment results, The plutonium in HANARO irradiated fuel rod that separated portion of top, middle, and bottom were determined. The measured values of Pu are 1.155 mg, 2.483 mg and 1.920 mg in one gram of sample(fuel+clad), respectively.

The electrochemical reduction of triphenylphosphine penylimide in nonaqueous media has been examined by polarography, cyclic voltammetry, controlled-potential coulometry and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The reduction of triphenylphosphine phenylimide proceeds by a one-electron transfer to form anion radical which undergoes both protonation and a second one-electron reduction followed by cleavage of the phosphorus-nitrogen double bond. Aniline is a major product. The cleavage of a phosphorus-phenyl bond was also observed after reduction of triphenylphosphine oxide which is one of the major products of the chemical reaction which follow the primary process.

A mass balance method for purity assessment of thermolabile organic reference materials was established by combining several techniques, including liquid chromatography with UV/VIS detector (LC-UV), Karl-Fischer (K-F) Coulometry, and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). This method was applied to three fluoroquinolones like enrofloxacin, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin. LC-UV was used to analyze structurally related organic impurities based on UV/VIS absorbance spectra obtained in combination with LC separation. For all three organic reference materials, the UV/VIS spectra of the separated impurities were similar to that of the major component of the corresponding materials. This indicates that the impurities are structurally related to the respective reference material sharing common chromophores. Impurities could be quantified by comparing their absorbances at the wavelength of maximum absorbance (${\lambda}_{max}$). The water contents of the reference materials were measured by K-F Coulometry by an oven-drying method. The total inorganic impurities contents were assayed from ash residues in TGA analysis with using air as a reagent gas. The final purities estimated from results of those analytical techniques were assigned as ($99.91{\pm}0.06$), ($97.09{\pm}0.17$) and ($91.85{\pm}0.17$)% (kg/kg) for enrofloxacin, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin, respectively. The assigned final purities would be applied to the reference materials which will be used as calibrators for the certification of those compounds in matrix CRMs as starting points for the traceability of their certified values to SI units.

The electrochemical reduction of iodine in non-aqueous media have been studied by polarography, chronopotentiometry, cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry at dropping mercury electrode and platinum, gold and amalgamated platium electrodes. In amphiprotic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and pyridine, iodine were reduced to iodide ions via one step reduction involving 1 electron and in aprotic solvents such as acetonitrile, dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide via two step reduction involving all 3 electrons. The reductions of iodine give well defined polarograms at dropping mercury electrode and irreversible chronopotentiograms at platinum electrode, but less defined irreversible chronopotentiograms at gold and amalgamated platinum electrodes, those are all diffusion controlled. The diffusion coefficients of iodine in various solvents were estimated from the chronopotentiometric data and Sand equation.

The electrochemical behaviors of copper-1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol(Cu-PAN) complex in acetonitrile (AN) solution have been investigated by the use of cyclic voltammetry, DC-polarography, controlled potential coulometry and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Cu-PAN complex in acetonitrile exhibit three reduction waves at -1.27 V, -1.64 V and -2.08 V vs. Ag/AgNO$_3$(AN). The numbers of electron involved in each reduction step was calculated with controlled potential coulometry, and reduction product was identified with UV-Vis spectrum. As the result, we proposed the reduction mechanism of the Cu-PAN complex in acetonitrile.

An electrochemical reduction on the 3-phenyl-4-nitrosydnone in acetonitrile solution has been studied by direct current, differential pulse polarography, cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry. Before the cleavage of phenyl-N single bond a irreversible electron transfer-chemical reaction(EC) mechanism of nitro functional group proceeded to form amino (or-hydroxylamino) group by multielectron transfer which is followed to give phenyl hydrazine by single electron transfer-chemical reaction at the 2nd and 3rd irreversible reduction wave of high negative potential region. The cathodic half-wave potentials shown to be shift negative due to inhibitory effect of cetyl-trimethyl ammonium bromide micelle while reversible anodic peaks on the 2nd and 3rd reduction waves in the presence of NaLS at high negative potential region.

환원황 성분들은 사람들이 일상적으로 생활하는 환경권역에서 고농도 (ppb 수준 이상)로 존재할 경우, 악취의 주요원인물질로 작용한다는 점에서 상당한 주목을 받고 있다. 국내의 경우, 환경부에서는 이미 '92년 8월 대기환경보전 법을 개정하여, 황화수소를 위시한 4개의 황화합물과 트리메틸아민, 암모니아, 아세트알데히드, 스티렌을 포함하는 총 8개 화합물을 악취물질로 지정하여 관리하고 있다. 이러한 황화합물을 분석하는데 spectrophotometry, polarography, fluorescence, coulometry, impregnated filter 방식 등이 활용되고 있다 (Blank et al., 1978).

The electrochemical reduction of ${\alpha},{\beta}$-dibenzyl N-benzylidene L-aspartate in 0.1M LiCl ethanol solution was investigated by direct current (DC), differential pulse (DP) polarography, cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry(CPC). The irreversible reductive amination of imino group proceeded to form ${\alpha},{\beta}$-dibenyl N-benzyl L-aspartate by CEC or CE electrochemical reaction mechanism at the first reduction step (-0.92 volts vs. Ag-AgCl). The polarographic reduction wave was slightly suppressed due to inhibitory effect of micelle, while the irreversibility was increased according to the increase of Triton X-100 concentration. Upon the basis of product analysis and polarogram interpretation with pH change, possible CE electrode reaction mechanism was suggested.

A mass balance method established in this laboratory was applied to determine the purity of an endosulfan-II pure substance. Gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) was used to measure organic impurities. Total of 10 structurally related organic impurities were detected by GC-FID in the material. Water content was determined to be 0.187% by Karl-Fischer (K-F) coulometry with an oven-drying method. Non-volatile residual impurities was not detected by Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) within the detection limit of 0.04% (0.7 ${\mu}g$ in absolute amount). Residual solvents within the substance were determined to be 0.007% in the Endosulfan-II pure substance by running GC-FID after dissolving it with two solvents. The purity of the endosulfan-II was finally assigned to be ($99.17{\pm}0.14$)%. Details of the mass balance method including interpretation and evaluating uncertainties of results from each individual methods and the finally assayed purity were also described.

The electrochemical reduction of O,O-dimethyl-O-(3-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)-phosphorothioate (Fenitrothion) has been studied in acetonitrile solution containing surfactant micelle by direct current (DC)-differential pulse (DP) polarography, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and controlled potential coulometry (CPC). The partially reversible electron transfer-chemical reaction(EC, EC mechanism) of fenitrothion reduction proceeded by four electron transfer to form O,O-dimethyl-O-(3-methyl-4-hydroxyaminophenyl)-phosphorothioate which undergoes single bond of the phosphorus atom and phenoxy group cleaves to give p-amino-m-cresol and dimethyl thiophosphinic acid as major product by two electron transfer-protonation at higher negative potential. The polarograpic reduction waves shown to suppressed due to inhibitory effect of sodium lauryl sulfate micelle solution and split up on selectivity of anionic micelle effect in two step at the first reduction peak.
