There have been several problems in treating shipboard sewage due to special environmental conditions of ship, such as limited space, rolling and pitching, change of temperature and so on. It was suggested that Sequence Batch Reactor (SBR) might be suitable process for overcome these problems in terms of small size, high capacity of treating wastewater and full automation. In this study a SBR process was employed for biological treatment of organic wastes in the shipboard sewage. This process was able to remove nitrogen and phosphorus as well as organic matter efficiently. More than 95% of chemical oxygen demand(COD) were removed. In addition, about 97% of total nitrogen (T-N) was reduced. The total phosphorus(T-P) reduction averaged 93%. A disturbance operation caused by the treatment of Methylene Blue Active Substances(MBAS) was not observed.

The purpose of this study was to measure penetration of dye stuff(5% Methylene blue, Hematoxylin, Crystal violet and Safranin-O) on silicate cement, Adaptic, Hi-pol and unfilled resin. Each filling material was mixed on the mixing pad and the mixed material was inserted with condensation force of 500gr, 1000gr and 2000gr and without condensation force into preformed glass tube (10mm in diameter and 10mm in height). The specimen was stored in the air for 24 hours, then specimen was immersed in various dye solution (5% methylene blue, hematoxin, crystal violet and safranin-O) for different period of time (l hour and 24 hours). These dye-treated specimen was cut horizontally at the middle portion and the dye penetration in cut surface was measured. Following results were obtained. 1. Pentration of various dye was excessive in silicate cement with and without Condensation force. 2. There has been no evidence of dye penetration in unfilled resin. 3. Dye penetration occurced with in 1 hour period and the extending time didn't affect the dye penetration.

Activities of various $TiO_2$ nanostructures in photocatalytic decomposition of methylene blue and toluene were determined in order to shed light on the relationship between structures and photocatalytic activity. Commercially available P-25 samples were used in the present work. In addition, $TiO_2$ nanostructures were synthesized using atomic layer deposition (ALD). We show that change in the surface structure of $TiO_2$ upon variois surface treatments results in variation in photocatalytic activity. In particular, increase in the number of OH groups on the surface leads to the enhancement in photocatalytc activity. Surface OH groups increases adsorption reactivity of organic reactants, thereby increasing activity in photocatalytic decomposition of methylene blue and toluene.

The purpose of this study was to observe the trend of compounds release from acrylic resin oral prosthesis when used for drug delivery as well as a restoration. In this study, 10 specimens of heat-cured polymethylmethacrylate material were prepared and loaded with methylene blue biological stain. The specimens were then submerged in vials with 5 ml distilled water for 24 hours. The extraction procedure continued for 4 days, each day the specimens were immersed in another 5 ml distilled water vial. All extracted solutions were analyzed by visible light spectroscopy for absorbance comparison. The statistical results showed that the absorbance values were significantly different in the first day of extraction than the following days. However, there was no statistical difference among the 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th days of extraction. Biological stain loading to acrylic resin at the mixing stage, and then after extraction in distilled water, showed a burst release during the first day followed by a constant release during the following few days.

We fabricated acrylamie photopolymer holographic recording materials by photopolymerization of acrylamide, and described hologram formation process. Light absorption and phtobleaching process by MB(methylene blue) dye and radical polymerization process due to TEA(triethanolamind) are explained in detail. We adopted the Beer-lambert law in order to explain the photobleaching kinetics. Dependencies of diffraction efficiency of the hologram on monomer amout and the exposure are investigated. The scattering effect caused by grain of polymer crystal, and fixing method are also illustrated.

When m-phenylenediamine (MPD) or m-aminophenol (MAP) was treated with formaldehyde(F), under $N_2$ stream, at the temperature $-5\sim0^{\circ}C$, addition condensation occurred and insoluble resins formed immediately. Under the same reaction conditions m-phenylenediamine, m-aminophenol and formaldehyde also easily copolycondensed and insoluble MPD-MAP-F type copolymer formed. MPD-MAP-F type copolycondensed resin was superior in both heat-resistant property and adsorptivity of Bromophenol Blue or Methylene Blue than the MPD-F and MAP-F type resins. From the result of TGA, under $N_2$stream, MPD-MAP-F resin showed about $40\%$ weight loss at $800^{\circ}C$, and this type of resin 1g adsorbed 308mg of Bromophenol Blue.

Riboflavin (Rb), in the presence of methionine (Met) under light, generates superoxide radicals that can reduce nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) to its corresponding formazan. The Rb-Met/NBT system has been used to measure the superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities of various antioxidants. However, the reaction mechanisms have not been clearly defined, and the assay conditions are not consistent. In this study, the effects of different photosensitizers and amino acids on NBT reduction in different solvents were investigated. NBT reduction in the Rb-Met/NBT system was more pronounced in phosphate-buffered saline, compared to distilled water or Tris (pH 7.5); histidine (His) instead of Met also led to considerable Rb-induced NBT reduction. Among the photosensitizers, methylene blue with His caused potent NBT reduction in Tris. Rb-induced NBT reduction combined with Met or His was quantitatively inhibited by SOD or gallic acid, but did not affect MB-induced reduction sensitively.

Effects of operating parameters such as activated carbon dose, gaseous $O_3$ concentration and pH on the properties of methylene blue(MB) degradation in a catalytic ozonation were investigated through a series of batch experiments. Activated carbon catalyzed the self-decomposition of ozone, generating $OH{\cdot}$, thus promoting MB degradation. Thus the increase of activated carbon dose enhanced the MB and TOC removal. The higher gaseous ozone concentration injected, the promoted MB and TOC removal obtained through the enhanced mass transfer. The MB removal was not significantly affected by the variation of aqueous pH. Catalytic ozonation can be considered as an efficient alternative in treating refractory pollutants in textile wastewater with faster and higher dye and TOC removal compared with ozonation and adsorption.
