Rate constants have been measured spectrophotometrically for the reactions of alkali metal ethoxides with 4-nitrophenyl benzoate, S-4-nitrophenyl thiobenzoate and 4-nitrophenyl thionbenzoate in ethanol at 25$^{\circ}$C. Substitution of S for O in the leaving group has not affected reactivity significantly, while the effect of the similar replacement in the acyl group has led to rate decrease by a factor of 10, although pronounced rate enhancements have been expected for both systems. The replacement of O by a polarizable S has also influenced the reactivity of the esters toward alkali metal ethoxides, i.e. the reactivity decreases as the size of the metal ion decreases. The alkali metal ions have showed inhibition effect instead of catalytic effect which would have been expected for the present system. The effect of replaced sulfur atom on the reactivity for the present system is attributed to the nature of hard and soft acids and bases.

Generally, hydroxyapatite(HAp), zeolite, carbon molecular sieve , activated carbon and alumina are used as heavy metal ions adsorption materials. Among those adsorption materials, HAp which has good positive ion-exchange ability with metal ion, and zeolite are utilized in wastewater treatment. Most of water pollutions are caused by hazardous heavy metals ions as well as bacteria in waste water. In this study, a adsorption materials (HAP and zeolite) are ion-exchanged with a well known antimicrobial metal ions, such as $Ag^+,\;Cu^{2+},\;and\;Zn^{2+}$, in order to give a adsorption of heavy metal ions and a killing effects of bacteria. The antimicrobial effects of adsorption materials are observed using by E. Coli. The results show that there is a complete antimicrobial effect in the adsorption materials with $Ag^+$ at the concentration of $1{\times}10^{-4}$cell/$m\ell$ of E. Coli until 24 hours. However, there is not good antimicrobial effects in the adsorption materials with $Cu^{2+},\;and\;Zn^{2+}$ substitution. Feng et. al. showed the denaturation effects of silver ions which induces the condensed DNA molecules and losing their replication abilities.

The ${\alpha}-amylase$ from Bacillus licheniformis was purified and its thermostability in the presence of substrate and metal was ions investigated. Comparing D-values of the enzyme obtained in the presence of $Ca^{++}$, $B^{+++}$ and both $Ca^{++}$ and $B^{+++}$, the thermostability of the enzyme was markedly enhanced by the addition of metal ions. $Ca^{++}$ and $B^{+++}$ exhibited a protective action, the former ion being more effective, and both ions showed a synergistic effect. The enthalpy of activation for the thermal inactivation in the presence of metal ion was 320.2 kJ/mole for $Ca^{2+}$ ion, 212.9 kJ/mole for $B^{+++}$, while it was 183.9 kJ/mole in the absence of metal ions. In the thermal inactivation for 30 min at $96^{\circ}C$, the residual activity in the presence of 30% (w/w) starch was 51.0%, whereas the presence of $Ca^{++}$ ion additionally provided a remarkable thermo-resistance.

The removal effectiveness of various heavy metal ions in boron-rich containing plants has been studied by means of spectroscopic and pH methods. Treatment of the boron-rich containing sample which was collected from cherry and root of cabbage to heavy metal ions is resulted in that an excellent removal effect shows in the case of large ionic size of heavy metal. Stability constants are depended on the variation of pH.

The effect of transition metal ion exchange into UZM-9 zeolite with LTA framework on its deactivation in methanol-to-olefin (MTO) conversion was discussed. The ion exchange of copper, cobalt, nickel, and iron did not induce any notable change in the crystallinity, crystal morphology, and acidity of UZM-9. The small cage entrance of UZM-9 caused the high selectivity to lower olefins in the MTO conversion, while its large cages allowed the rapid further cyclecondensation of active intermediates, polymethylbenzenes including hexamethylbenzene, resulting in a rapid deactivation. The UZM-9 containing copper and cobalt ions showed considerably slow deactivations. The interaction between transition metal ions and polymethylbenzene cation radicals, the active intermediates, generated in the MTO conversion stabilized the radicals and slowed down the deactivation of UZM-9.

A kinetic study on nucleophilic substitution reaction of 5-nitro-8-quinolyl picolinate (6) with alkali-metal ethoxides (EtOM; M = K, Na, and Li) in anhydrous ethanol is reported. The plot of $k_{obsd}$ vs. [EtOM] curves upward in the absence of crown ethers but is linear with significantly decreased reactivity in the presence of crown ethers. Dissection of $k_{obsd}$ into $k_{EtO}$- and $k_{EtOM}$ (i.e., the second-order rate constants for the reactions with the dissociated $EtO^-$ and ion-paired EtOM, respectively) has revealed that the ion-paired EtOM is significantly more reactive than the dissociated $EtO^-$ (e.g., $k_{EtOM}/k_{EtO^-}$ = 33.4-141). This indicates that the reaction of 6 is catalyzed by $M^+$ ions in the order $Na^+$ > $Li^+$ > $K^+$ and the catalytic effect disappears in the presence of a proper crown ether. Picolinate ester 6 is much more reactive and is more strongly catalyzed by $M^+$ ions than 5-nitro-8-quinolyl benzoate (5). It has been concluded that $M^+$ ions catalyze the reaction of 6 by increasing electrophilicity of the reaction center through a cyclic transition state, which is structurally not possible for the reaction of 5.

A modified surface layer by ion implantation is very thin (under 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$) but has superior mechanical characteristics. therefore ion implantation has been used successfully as a surface treatment technology to improve the wear, fatigue, and corrosion resistances of materials. MEVVA which is a kind of ion beam apparatus has merits of low cost and is usable to various metals, but occurs a droplet ranging from micron to tens of micron on the implanted surface at ion implantations. wear is a dynamic phenomenon on interacting surfaces with rotative motion. Since wear changes in condition of the surface, we should control to surface. In order to improve a wear resistance of Ti ion implanted 1C-3Cr steel(material for roller in the cold working process), it is essential to investigate the effect of the droplets on the wear characteristics. In this study, we investigate the effect of the droplets on the wear characteristics of 1C-3Cr steel using SEM Tribosystem as in-situ system. Results show that the droplet occurred at ion implantation becomes the cause of severe wear. Therefore, the ion-implanted surface should be removed the droplet to improve wear resistance.

Ion exchange metal composite(IPMC) has toughness equivalent to the range of human's muscle, transformation-actuation force by relatively low voltage and the fast response time. Thus, as a new method for preparing thicker IPMC, the solution casting method to make the films of various thicknesses out of liquid nation was attempted in this study. To reduce the surface resistance of electrode, the first plated electrode prepared by Oguro method was replated with Au and Ir using ion beam assisted deposition(IBAD). The microstructures of electrode surfaces before and after IBAD plating were investigated using SEM. The change of water and ion-conductivity in IPMC were measured under applied voltage. The displacement and driving force of IPMCs with various thicknesses were measured to evaluate the driving properties.

A short and efficient synthesis, solvent extraction and potentiometric measurements of new thiazole-containing naphtho-crown ethers are reported. The naphthalene moiety enhances the ammonium ion selectivity over potassium ion. The selectivity of ${NH_4}^+/K^+$ follows the trend $3\;{\approx}\;2\;>\;1$, indicating that the differences in conformational changes of 2 and 3 in forming ammonium complexes affect little on the resulting ammonium/potassium extraction selectivity ratio. The ammonium ion-selective electrodes were prepared with noctylphenyl ether plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) membranes containing 1-4 the effect of one naphthalene unit introduced on either right (2) or left (3) side of thiazolo-crown ether on their potentiometric properties (e.g., ammonium ion selectivity over other cations, response slopes, and detection limits) were not apparent. However, the ammonium ion selectivity of 1, 2 and 3 over other alkali metal and alkaline earth metal cations is 10-100 times higher than that of nonactin.

Water-soluble phosphate glasses containing Ag or Cu ion were prepared through melting process. Then the powdered glass samples were dissolved in D.I. water at room temperature with changing the dissolution time. In terms with the glass composition, dissolution characteristics, bactericidal effects and cytotoxicities were investigated. Dissolved amounts increased uniformly with dissolution time, and the dissolution rate was higher for ternary glass than for binary glass and with less metal oxide amount. And the dissolution rate of the glass with Ag ion was higher than that with Cu ion, and the bactericidal effect of the glass with Ag ion was also greater. Solution with more than 25 ppm of Ag was observed to have strong cytotoxicity to L929, and solutions of lower Ag concentration or with Cu seemed to have little cytotoxicity.
