Ion exchange performance to remove nitrate in water was studied using commercially available strong base anion exchange resin of Cl- type in the batch and continuous column reactors. The performance was tested using the effluent concentration histories for continuous column or equilibrium conquilibrium between resin and solution. Anion exchange resin used in this study was more effective than activated carbon or zeolite for nitrate removal. With large resin amount or low initial concentration, nitrate removal characteristics for a typical gel-type resin was Increased. On considering the relation between the breakthrough capacity and nitrate concentration of the influent, the use of anion exchange resin were suitable for the hi선or order water treatment. The nitrate removal of above 90% could be possible until the effluent of above 650 BV was passed to the column. Thus, the commercially available strong base anion exchange resin of $Cl^-$ type used in thins study could be effectively used as economic material for treatment of the groundwater. The breakthrough curves showed the sequence of resin selectivity as $SO_4^{2-}$ > $NO_3$ > $NO^{2-}$ > $HCO_3^-$. The results of this study could be scaled up and used as a design tool for the water purification system of the real groundwater and surface water treatment processes.

Water-soluble phosphate glasses containing Ag and Cu ion were prepared through melting process. Dis-solution characteristics, bactericidal effect and cytotoxicity were investigated with composition and time in D. I. water using the powdered sample. Surface change were observed with increasing dissolution time us-ing the bulk specimen. Dissolution amount was maximum at the molar Ag:Cu ratio of 1 and increased with increasing time. The behavior of dissolution was total dissolution from the early stage. But no new layer was observed at the glass surface during dissolution. The bactericidal effect for pseudomonas sp, e. coli, sta-phylococcus aureus, and salmonella increased with increasing dissolution amount and therefore great bac-tericidal effect appeared. The result of cytotoxicity experiment to L929 showed that solution with more than 10 ppm of Ag ion had strong cytotoxicity.

Heterogeneous membranes were prepared by compression molding for the recovery of ammonium ion from waste water. Degree of sulfonation for sulfonated ion exchange resin increased with increasing amount of chlorosulfonic acid. It was 3.32 meq/g at 10 vol%. The tensile strength and elongation of the heterogeneous membrane was decreased with increasing contents of ion exchange resin. The tensile strength for LLDPE matrix membrane was the highest and also the elongation for EVA matrix membranes were the highest. The water content of heterogeneous membrane was increased with increasing contents of ion exchange resin. The maximum value of transport number for PE matrix membrane was 0.973. The electrical resistance of LLDPE matrix membrane was the lowest. It was value of $10.36{\Omega}/cm^2$ at 70 wt% resins.

The water fraction exhibiting anticancer activity was prepared from 70% methanol extract of Artemisis argyi by stepwise solvent partioning. This water fraction(5 $\mu$g/ml concentration) showed a considerable cytotoxicity against leukemic L1210 cells with a maximal value of 92% for 3 days culture. Contrastingly to such substantial anticancer activities the identical fraction showed far low toxicity against normal lymphocytes than chloroform fraction of Artemisia argyi mitomycine and 5-fluorouracil at every concentration ranging 0.01$\mu$g/ml~10.00$\mu$g/ml. The cytotoxicity displayed against L1210 cells by the water fraction of Artemisia was found to be proportinal to the decrease of viability of L1210 cells. On the other hand, $O_2$ion generation in L1210 cells appeared to be elevated in accordance to cytotoxicity by the water fraction with concurrent increases of superoxide dismuatse (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) which are responsible for the conversion of $O_2$ ion and $H_2O$$_2$ respectively These findings taken together indicate that the death of L1210 cells by the water fraction of Auemisia atgyi, may be induced at least in part by the detrimental action of reactive oxygen species (ROS) including $O_2$- in spite of substantial extorts of SOD and GPx to overcome the attack of ROS.

A conventional electrolyzing cell has been made by an ion exchange membrane inbetween parallel plate electrodes. A low dc voltage is applied to the electrodes for electrolyzing and the efficiency is remained in low. in this study, a novel electrolyzing cell with a pair of slit-type third electrodes installed inbetween parallel plate electrodes has been proposed and investigated experimentally. And pulse power wa supplied to between each electrodes. This slit type of third electrodes can concentrate the strong electric fields at the every its edges to accelerate the electrolyzing powers, and to generate oxygen bubble discharges for generating oxidants. And moreover the slits eliminate the space charge limiting action and the temperature of the water by leaking out through the slits from electrolyzing region to outside of the main electrode region. As a result, it was found that a strong electorzed water of pH 2.8 and pH 10.5 and oxidants dissolved water of 1 [ppm] in acidic water were obtained with a tap water fed at the electric current of 2 [A], which however were several times higher oxidant and ion concentration quantity compared with the conventional cell.

In oder to understand the deposition possibility of water-soluble inorganic ions in the atmospheric fine particulates for the human respiratory tract, the mass size distribution of ion species was measured using an Anderson sampler in the Iksan during fall, 2004. Samples were analyzed for major water-soluble ions using Dionex DX-100 ion chromatograph. The size distribution of water-soluble inorganic ions in the atmospheric particulates appeared bimodal distribution, which were divided around $1-2{\mu}m$ into two groups. Mass site distribution of total ion in the coarse mode was found to be almost similar level during the sampling period, but fluctuations of mass size distribution in the fine mode were observed. Considering the mass size distribution of total ion concentrations for the respiratory deposition region, it was found that about 77.1% of total tons could be deposited in the alveolar region, and which dominated the daily variation of total ion concentrations. The concentration of total ions, which could be deposited in both the head region and the tracheobronchial region, was $3.95{\mu}g/m^3$, whereas that in the alveolar rerion was $13.28{\mu}g/m^3$. Dominant ions which could be deposited in the alveolar region were ${NO_3}{^-},\;{SO_4}^{2-}\;and\;{NH_4{^+}$, accounting for about 40%, 27% and 22% of the total ions, respectively. Although $K^+$ was approximately 3% of total ions, it was shown that most of this could be deposited in the alveolar region due to its high fraction of small size distribution originated from anthropogenic source of biomass burning. The presence of these ions in the fine mode may be of public health significance as they are very biologically harmful to health and have a high probability of being deposited in human lung tissue.

The estimation functions were proposed for calculating diffusion coefficient, chloride binding, and evaporable water. The program estimating chloride ion penetration was developed on the basis of these functions and the effects of humidity, curing temperature, water-cement ratio, and $C_3$A on chloride penetration were analyzed. The relative humidity increases the depth of chloride ion penetration and the trend becomes greater with aging. On the contrary, the influence of curing temperature on chloride ion penetration decreases with aging. By the way, the rise of $C_3$A in cement increases total chloride concentration on the surface as the bound chloride concentration increases but it decreases total chloride concentration on the inner part as the diffusion velocity of free chloride decreases. The fall of water-cement ratio decreases the chloride penetration depth rapidly. Therefore, the reduction of water-cement ratio may be the most effective method for reducing of the steel corrosion by chloride penetration.

We describe an ion-surface scattering apparatus newly developed to investigate the reactive scattering process of low-energy alkali-metal ions at surfaces. The apparatus consists of an alkali-metal ion gun that is rotatable by 360°, a quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS) with an ion energy analyzer, a sample manipulator with a heating-and-cooling stage, and an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) chamber that houses these components. Preliminary experimental results obtained from the apparatus are presented on angular and energy distributions of the ions scattered from clean Pt(111) and water-adsorbed Pt surfaces.

The phyio-chemical properties of Ion exchange salt, crude salt, particaly refined salt, and Isoized salt were determined. The basic amount of salt used in cooking were standardized . Acceptabilities as to the taste and saltiness of food prepared with the standard amounts of various kinds of salt were compared. Whereupon, the following conclusion was obtained. 1) Crude salt showed 12.23 per cent water content, the highest among the kinds of salt examined, while particaly refined salt had 2.53% water content. Refined salt, Ion exchange salt, and Iodized salt showed 0.36%, and 0.28%, respectively. 2) Where the same amount of salt was dissolved in the same amount of water, crude salt and partialy refined salt were dissolved twice as Ion exchange salt of fine-grain form, refined salt, and Iodized salt. In actual cooking, Ion exchanges salt and refined salt are used only half as much as raw salt, and it can be said that the time required for dissolving salt is the same. 3) The comparison between content and weight of various kinds of salt showed that the weights of Ion exchange salt, Iodized salt, and refined salt were two times as heavy as crude salt and partialy refined condition of same content. 40 The threshold concentration of salt is the sensed degree of saltiness. Different concentrations were recorded for various for various kinds of salt, the threshold concentration of Ion exchanges salt showed the lowest degree of 0.05, while that of partialy refined salt was 0.09 equivalent to 1.8 times that of the former. 5) Experimental cooking involving various kinds of salt indicated that where salt was used accurately, soup, vegetables, kimchi, and soybean sauce which were prepared with Ion exchanges salt showed the best acceptability , but no statistical differences could be noted among sarious kinds of salt used in preparing those foods.

The rate constants of the hydrolysis of ${\alpha}$-Cyano-${\beta}$-piperonylacrylic acid were determined by Ultraviolet spectrophotometry at various pH and a rate equation which can be applied over wide pH range was obtained. The reaction mechanism of hydrolysis of ${\alpha}$-Cyano-${\beta}$-piperonylic acid and especially the catalytic contribution of hydroxide ion which not studied carefully before in acidic media, can be fully explained by the rate equation obtained. The rate equation reveals that; below pH 4.0, the reaction is initiated by the addition of water molecule to ${\alpha}$-Cyano-${\beta}$-piperonyl acrylic acid. At pH $5.0{\sim}7.5$, ${\alpha}$-Cyano-${\beta}$-piperonylacrylic acid compete with ${\alpha}$-Cyano-${\beta}$-piperonyl acrylate ion in adding of water. At pH 8.0, water is the only nucleophile for ${\alpha}$-Cyano-${\beta}$-piperonylacrylate ion, however, above pH 12.0, hydroxide ion is an addendum and the accepter is ${\alpha}$-Cyano-${\beta}$-piperonylacrylate ion.
