The ion exchange behaviour of the $Cs^{+1},\;Sr^{+2},\;and\;Th^{+4}$ in the system of $Cs^{+1},\;Sr^{+2},\;Th^{+4},\;and\;7Cl^{-}-H^{+}$ from Dowex HCR-W2, was examined in the loading and elution processes. $Th^{+4}$ was slowly adsorbed through the entire contact time between resin and solution and $Cs^{+1}\;and\;Sr^{2+}$ were adsorbed fast for the first few minutes of contact time. Because of the strong affinity of $Th^{+4}$, the longer contact time was allowed, the less amount of $Cs^{+1}\;and\;Sr^{2+}$ was adsorbed on the resin. The peak concentration of the resin phase $Cs^{+1}$ in the solution concentration of $Cs^{+1}:Sr^{+2}:Th^{+4}$ in the ratio of 2 : 2 : 1 in normality with total normality of 0.1N was produced at about 4 minutes of contact time and the peak time for $Sr^{+2}$ was 20 minutes. The loaded ions were eluted using hydrochloric acid. The loaded $Cs^{+1}$ was eluted at the low eluent concentration of less than 0.1N with less than 5% contamination of $Sr^{+2}$. The loaded $Th^{+4}$ was eluted at the high eluent concentration of greater than 1N. The best eluent concentration for eluting $Th^{+4}$ was 4N.

Department of Nuclear Medicine in Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) had developed $^{18}F$-Flumazenil as Benzodiazepine receptor imaging agent for PET diagnosis of Epilepsy. But production Activity of $^{18}F$-Flumazenil is decreased owing to this method has difficult synthesis procedures and pretty long synthesis time. In this study, we can modify synthesizing method to have more simple procedure and less spend time and help to increase production Activity. Old method: Radioactivity was produced by cyclotron was captured by QMA cartridge that was activated. Captured radioactivity was eluted into the reaction vial by using kryptofix solution and delivered. After evaporation of eluent, the azeotrophic drying step repeated two times. tosylflumazenil in anhydrous Acetonitrile was added to a reaction vial while bubbling. The reaction mixture was evaporated until the mixture volume was 0.5 mL. Reaction vial washed with 20 % Acetonitrile and that solution went into the reaction vial. The reaction mixture was loaded to the HPLC loop by hand and purified $^{18}F$-Flumazenil by HPLC column. New method: We used $TBAHCO_3$ solution as a eluent. After the eluent was evaporated, tosylflumazenil in anhydrous acetonitrile was added to a reaction vial and the reaction mixture was bubbled for 15 minutes. It was evaporated until the mixture volume became 0.5 mL. It was loaded to the HPLC loop. In old method, $^{18}F$-Flumazenil was synthesized via 6 steps synthesis procedures in 105 minutes with 30~35% synthesizing yield (non-decay correction) and specific activity was about $0.5{\sim}2{\times}10^5$ Ci/mole. In new method, It had 3 steps synthesis procedures in 53 minutes with 40~45% synthesizing yield and specific activity was about $3{\sim}8{\times}10^5$ Ci/mole. This method leads to improve of minimizing synthesis time, increasing synthesis yield and specific activity. While we can load reaction mixture to the HPLC loop, we can expose high radiation field thanks to used by hand.

A mycotoxin Patulin, isolated from apple juice medium cultured with Penicillium patulum NRRL5259, was purified through acid aluminum column using ethyl ether as eluent. The yield of purified patulin crystal was 3mg/ml culture medium after 8 days of shaking culture at 28C. The growth rate of Escherichia coli K12JM103 infected with bacteriophage M13 was decreased by patulin at the concentration range of 1Mug/ml to 10Mu/nl. ED50 of patulin for the bacterial growth was 4.5Mug/ml and 10Mug/ml of patulin caused maximum inhibitory effect (60% inhibition) on the growth.

Separation of lithium isotopes was investigated by chemical ion exchange with a hydrous manganese(IV) oxide ion exchanger using an elution chromatography. The capacity of manganese(IV) oxide ion exchanger was 0.5 meq/g. One molar CH3COO Na solution was used as an eluent. The heavier isotope of lithium was enriched in the solution phase, while the lighter isotope was enriched in the ion exchanger phase. The separation factor was calculated according to the method of Glueckauf from the elution curve and isotopic assays. The single stage separation factor of lithium isotope pair fractionation was 1.021.

Target transformation factor analysis is applied to analyze the components of unresolved fraction in the elution curve of La, Pr and Gd which is obtained using the chelate agent- impregnated resin and 0.7 M hydrochloric acid as an eluent. We determined the number of components contributing to the unresolved fractions and verified the presence of suspected components.

(+)-$Tr{\ddot{o}}ger$'s base in $Tr{\ddot{o}}ger$'s base racemates that inhibits thromboxane A2($T{\times}A2$) synthase has been used to treat arteriosclerosis. Separation of (+)-$Tr{\ddot{o}}ger$'s base by chromatography has become a major concern. However separation experiments of (+)-$Tr{\ddot{o}}ger$'s base need time and consumables so that simulation with Aspen Chromatography could save time and costs by predicting the efficiency of separation. Injection amount and eluent flow rate were varied to compare the resolutions and yields of TB(-) and TB(+). Highest resolution and yield were attained at the eluent rate of 0.25 mL/min. Isotherms representing the relationship between mobile phase concentration and stationary phase concentration were changed to get the best separation with Ideal Adsorbed Solution(IAS) Statistical Lanmuir isotherms.

Two methods for separation of the impurities from bismuth metal have been found by the use of Dowex $1{\times}4,$ anion exchange resins. The first method is that Dowex $1{\times}4$ resins are packed into the two stage columns (height of under stage is 22cm and upper stage is 3cm, and diameter of columns are 1.5cm), and the impurities of Pb(II), Ag(I) and Cu(II) are separated by the eluent of 7.5M HCl soln, Zn(II), Fe(III) by 0.5M HCl solns, and Te(IV) in the upper stage by 2M NaOH soln. Remained Au(III) in the upper stage is determined by the ignition with resins. The 2nd method is that for the separation of all the impurities simultaneously the same resins are packed into single stage column(height is 10cm and diameter is 1.5cm), and all the impurities of Pb(II), Zn(II), Cu(II), Fe(III) and Ag(I) are eluted by the eluent of 0.5M HCl soln. Separated impurities are determined by the colorimetry.

An anion exchange method for separating Y, La, Ce, Pr, and Nd element in monazites and into enriched fractions has been developed. The complexed rare earth ions with EDTA at pH 8.4 passed through the resin column of the various size and eluted with 0.0301 M EDTA as eluent at flow rate of 1 ml/min and 2 ml/min. The result of separation is good in the high column length rather than the low on using the resin of the same amount and the volume of eluent required in eluting all the rare earths at 2 ml/min flow rate is larger than that at 1 ml/min and the result of separation obtained here is unsatisfactory.

Analytical methods of thromboxane $B_2(TXB_2)$ using various techniques of Fast Atom Bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB MS) were studied, static FAB condition was investigated to obtain linear response curve using docosanoic acid as a internal standard. For maximum sensitivity, a continuos-flow(CF-) FAB MS by selected-ion monitoring(SIM) with devised sample introduction system, has been developed to quantiate thromboxane $B_2$ in biological sample. Instrumental parameters affecting sensitivity, reproducibility has been studied. The method has been optimized with respect to the eluent, 0.75% glycerol(in EtOH v/v) and flow rate of $3.7{\mu}l/min.$ Under the condition, detection limits were below 10pg in SIM mode and a good linear relationship between dose and response was achieved.

Extraction chromatography was used to scarch optimum separation conditions of terbium. Stationary phase was 2-ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid(HEH[EHP])levextrel (-100~+150 mesh), column size was ${\Phi}20{\times}530mm$ and kept constantly temperature at $50^{\circ}C$, adsorption flow rate of $0.2mL/cm^2{\cdot}min$, elution flow rate of $1.0mL/cm^2{\cdot}min$, column diameter to packing height of 1:15. But to search optimum separation conditions of terbium, it changed the eluent acidity, the loading weight of sample. the composition of sample. In conclusion, acidity was 0.6 N HCl, loading weight of sample was about 5% and composition of sample was $Gd_2O_3(20%)+Tb_4O_7(60%)+Dy_2O_3(20%)$. Moreover purity of separated terbium by ICP-AES analysis was 99.98% in yield of 99.99%.
