In this study, the current-voltage curves for metals were measured using cyclic voltammetry. The relationship between the electrochemical properties and surface states of metals were investigated by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). In cyclic voltammetry, we used a 3-electrode system for the electrochemical measurements. The measurement was conducted at the condition that consists of the first reduction from the initial potential to -1350 mV, continuous oxidation to 1650 mV, and last reduction to the initial potential. The scan rates were 50, 100, 150 and 250 mV/s. The results show the C-V characteristics of metals to be for an irreversible process, which was caused by the oxidation current from cyclic voltammogram, when monoethanolamine (MEA) was used as a corrosion inhibitor. When we used MEA as a corrosion inhibitor, the diffusion coefficient was decreased as the concentration of electrolyte was increased. In the SEM images of copper, we observed an increase of surface corrosion at the increased electrolyte concentration. Addition of $1.0{\times}10^{-3}M$ corrosion inhibitor MEA reduced the effect of corrosion prevention due to the relatively large diffusion coefficient at the electrolyte concentration of 0.1N.

In this research, effects of water circulation on phosphorus release from sediment into water body were studied. Sediments sampled at the Daechung Lake were used for the column experiments with circulation and non-circulation conditions. Deaeration coefficient, $K_1$ and reaeration coefficient, $K_2$ of non-circulation condition were 0.133 and 0, respectively, while $K_1$ and $K_2$ for circulation condition were 0.46 and 0.018, respectively. Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) showed a linear relationship with dissolved oxygen (DO) when DO is over 2 mg/L. Phosphorus concentration induced by phosphorus release from sediment was highly dependent upon DO, ORP, and pH. Under anaerobic condition, phosphorus release rate was higher for $Fe^{2+}$-bounded phosphorus compared to that of $Ca^{2+}$-bounded phosphorus.

Polarography is a subclass of voltammetry where the working electrode is a dropping mercury electrode. More, I developed the experiment for raising up mercury electrode. In Voltammetry, information about an analyte is obtained by measuring the current as the potential is varied at oxidation-reduction reaction. A plot of current vs. potential in a polarography experiment shows the current oscillations correspoding to the drops of Hg falling from the capillary. The drops growth causes capacitive and faradic current. These changing current effects combined with experiments where the potential is continuously changed can result in noisy traces. The raising up type improved upon the method of dropping in hardware. In reduction of the noise, moving average smoothing method have been used. But the other procedure is introduced based on Fourier transformation. So FFT and IFFT engine was implemented and installed in my experiment. However, after experimentation, peak height as the measuring parameter gave a good linear relationship to concentration. The resolution of potential peaks of various kinds, using Zn and Cu as the example, was improved using the smoothing method.

Photosynthetic responses to dehydration were examined by the simulataneous measurement of O2 evolution and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence in green pepper leaves. Dehydration was induced by immersing the plant roots directly in the Hoagland solution containing varying concentration (2-30%) of polyethylene glycol(PEG-6000) . Water potential of the leaf was decreased time-and concentation -dependently by PEG-treatment. The decrease in water potential of leaf was correlated with the decrease in both the maximal photosynthesis (Pmax) and quantum yield of O2 evolution, but Pmax dropped more rapidly than quantum yield at all water deficit conditions tested. However, Chl fluorescence parameters were not affected much. Dehydration did not change the initial fluorescence (Fo) and maximum photochemical efficiency(Fv/Fm) of photosystem(PS) II. Both the photochemical quenching (qP) and non-photochemical quenching(NPQ) were not changed by dehydration under low PFR(50 $\mu$mols m-2s-1 ). In contrast, under high PFR(270$\mu$mols m-2s-1)qP was slightly decreased while NPQ was greatly increased. The fast induction kinetics of Chl fluroecence showed no change in Chl fluorescence pattern by dehydration at high PFR (640 $\mu$mols m-2s-1 ), but exhibited a significant drop in peak level(Fp)at low PRFR (70$\mu$mols m-2s-1 ). PS I oxidation and reduction kinetics revealed normal reduction but delayed oxidation to P-700+, suggesting no lesionin electron flow from PSII to PSI , but impaired electron transport to NADP+,These results suggest that water stress caused by PEG-treatment results in the reduction of photosynthesis, promarily due to the reducted electron trasport from PSI to NADP+ or hampered subsequent steps involving Calvin Cycle.

Based on case that HRSG low pressure steam generator tube was damaged by FAC in 500 MW A CCPP. This case analyzed the effect of application about the block of hydrazine water treatment which is applied for increasing dissolved oxygen. And also try to deduce the major factor of FAC Which is caused by lacking of dissolved oxygen of boiler feed system. After 1 year of water treatment, the figure of dissolved oxygen in the boiler feed water has increased from 0.15 ppb to 3~5 ppb and the figure of oxidation reduction potential has increased from -245 mV to 170 mV. And Iron content, the corrosion products by FAC has decreased from 18.5 ppb to 5~7 ppb. According to the result of experiment, we could able to confirm that the interception of hydrazine of water treatment is effective to reduce FAC.

This paper produced SUS MASK, which is used for OLEDs, using an automatic liquid management system. The SUS MASK was tested by setting the hole diameter to 0.4 mm. The additive F300 was found to be excellent as the hole diameter was close to 0.4 mm and the error range was measured to be 0.08 on average. And as a result of measuring the weight reduction amount of CuCl2 and FeCl3 according to the change in oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), FeCl3 is relatively sensitive to ORP changes. Experiments were conducted on whether ORP (610 mV) and specific gravity (1.463) were automatically controlled while continuously etching the SUS Mask. Experimental results show that the automatic liquid management system is well controlled because the setting value is not significantly changed. After setting the hole diameter to 0.4 mm as the target, the experiment results were measured from 0.36 to 0.44. Therefore, it is expected that etching processing in the manufacturing process of SUS MASK can be improved with higher precision by applying the manufactured automatic liquid management system.

In order to identify if bacteria surviving in soils and groundwater can change the oxidation/reduction potential of groundwater, Eh values of solution that contained bacteria were measured for 2 weeks. The Eh values of the solution reacted with sulfate-reducing bacteria decreased from -120 mV to -500 mV in 5 days, and $Desulfuricans$ was superior to $Vulgaris$ in reducing the solution. The Eh value was relatively higher for the solution containing $Shewanella$, iron-reducing bacteria, showing -400 mV. During the Eh decrease by the metal-reducing bacteria, a sulfide mineral such as mackinawite (FeS) started precipitating through the microbial reducing process for sulfate and ferric iron. These results show that the ORP of natrual groundwater may be sensitive to the geomicrobial respiration. In addition, a subsurface environment where groundwater is highly reduced and sulfide minerals are largely biogenerated may be a good place to retard the migration of oxidized radionu-clides by making them precipitated as reduced forms.

In this study, two types of wetland plants, Eichhornia crassipes (a floating plant) and Ceratophyllum demersum (a submerged plant) were introduced to wetland mesocosms to understand how the water properties of wetlands such as pH, dissolved oxygen content, water temperature, oxidation reduction potential, and nutrient concentrations are affected by different types of wetland plant. The floating plant lives on the water surface and can block light penetration; it exhibited the lowest water temperature and temperature difference between lower and upper layers. After the addition of contaminants, the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration decreased abruptly but recovered continuously in all mesocosms; especially the submerged plants, which photosynthesize in water, showed the largest increases in DO and diel periodicity DO, as well as in pH value. The oxidation-reduction potential in both water and sediment were affected by the presence of wetland plants and plant type and the results suggest that various aspects of wetland biogeochemistry are affected by the presence and type of wetland plants. The total nitrogen and phosphorous concentrations in water decreased in the following order: Water only < Water + Soil < Floating Plants < Submerged Plants. Although both floating and submerged plants can control algal concentrations, the effect was more prominent for floating plants.

The action of antioxidants was different depending on the environments where antioxidants were located. Although basic mechanisms of lipid oxidation and antioxidants were related each other, their contribution on the degree of oxidation was different. In thisreview, terminology on antioxidant properties were defined such as antioxidant activity and antioxidant capacities. In addition, antioxidant mechanisms including primary and secondary antioxidants or hydrogen donating or electron transferring antioxidants were introduced. Also, the impact of physical points of view and antioxidant polar paradox were introduced. Depending on the types of food matrice including bulk oil, oil-in-water emulsion (O/W), or solid state, antioxidant actions showed different degree and this point was explained in detail.

The titanium oxide thin films were prepared by anodic oxidation. The Photo-electrochemical properties of the electrodes were studied in 1 M NaOH solution. The flat band potentials of $TiO_2$ electrodes prepared by anodic oxidation showed around -0.8V and the values were shifted 0.2V to the positive potential direction that of single crystal $TiO_2$. Reduction potential of oxygen by cyclic voltammetry showed around -0.95V vs. SCE and these reactions were processed totally irreversible. The photocurrent of electrodes were showed shorter wavelength than that of single crystal $TiO_2$ and its current density decreased.
