Three new metal-organic copper(II) complexes, $[Cu(H_2PZTC)_2]_n{\cdot}2nH_2O$ (1), $[Cu(HPZTC){\cdot}2H_2O]_n{\cdot}2nH_2O$ (2), and $Cu_2[(PZHD)(OH)(H_2O)_2]_n$ (3) ($H_3PZTC$ = pyrazine-2,3,5-tricarboxylic acid, $PZHD^{3-}$ = 2-hydroxypyrazine-3,5-dicarboxylate), have been synthesized from $Cu(II)/H_3PZTC$ system under different synthetic conditions, and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. In complexes 1 and 2, $H_3PZTC$ ligands loose one and two protons, which were transformed into $H_2PZTC^-$ anion and $HPZTC^{2-}$ dianion under different preparation condition, respectively. Furthermore, two ligands coordinate with Cu(II) cations in different modes, leading to the formation of the different chain structures. In complex 3, $H_3PZTC$ ligand was converted into a new ligand-PZHD by in situ decarboxylation and hydroxylation under a higher pH value than that for complexes 1 and 2. PZHD ligands link the Cu(II) cations to form a 2D layer structure. These results demonstrate that the preparation conditions, including pH value and reaction temperature etc, play an important role in the construction of complexes based on $H_3PZTC$ ligand.

To establish the coating conditions for $^{57}Co$, non-radioactive Co ions are dissolved in an acid solution and electroplated on to a copper plate. Then, the thermal diffusion of electroplated Co into a copper matrix was studied to apply a $^{57}Co$ $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ source. Nanocrystalline Co particles were coated on a Cu substrate using DC electro-deposition at a pH of 1.89 to 5 and $20{\sim}30mA/cm^2$. The average grain size was up to 54 nm as the pH increased to 5. The second phase of Co-oxide was formatted as the pH was increased above 4. The diffusion degree was evaluated by mapping using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influence of different annealing conditions was investigated. The diffusion depth of Co depends on the annealing temperature and time. The results obtained confirm that the deposited Co diffused almost completely into a copper matrix without substantial loss at an annealing temperature of $900^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours.

The purpose of this study is to show the possibility of using Cu catalyst in removal of $NO_x$ from automobile exhaust which is regarded as the primary source of fine dust PM2.5. The energy and the bond lengths of the three possible structures of Cu-NO complex, which is formed by binding NO molecule to Cu, and the changes in IR and Raman spectra are calculated using MPW1PW91 method on the level of 6-311(+)G(d,p) of basis sets with Gaussian 09 program. As a result, the enthalpy of formation of the Cu-NO complexes are obtained as ${\Delta}H=104.89$, 91.98, -127.48 kJ/mol for the linear, bent, and bridging forms of them, respectively. And the bond lengths between N and O in NO complexes, which becomes longer than NO molecule, indicates that O is easily reduced from Cu-NO. In addition, the Cu-NO complexes using Cu catalyst can be easily measured by infrared or Raman spectroscopy because in the IR and Raman spectra of the NO and Cu-NO complexes the positon and the intensity of bands are definitely different in each vibration mode.

In this study, we synthesized $TiO_2$ supports with nanosized crystalline structure by solvothermal method and prepared $TiO_2$ supported Pd-Cu catalysts. It was shown that the crystalline size of $TiO_2$ support in the catalyst influenced on the catalytic activity of nitrate reduction in water. The catalyst with the smaller crystalline size of $TiO_2$ support presented faster nitrate reduction rate, but had low nitrogen selectivity due to high pH environment of reaction medium during the reaction. Through injection of carbon dioxide as a pH buffer, the nitrogen selectivity increased by about 60%. Furthermore, we investigated that the relationships between the catalytic performance and the physicochemical properties of the prepared catalysts characterized by $N_2$ adsoprtion-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), $H_2$-temperature programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Sintered ceramic samples of pure and some copper doped layered sodium lithium tri-titanate ($Na_{1.9}Li_{0.1}Ti_{3-X}Cu_XO_{7-X}$) materials with different dopant molar percentages (0.0$Cu^{2+}$ at $Ti^{4+}$ sites in the lattice is proposed in this paper. Furthermore, three distinct regions have been identified in log(${\sigma}_{d.c.}T$) versus 1000/T plots. The lowest temperature region is attributed to electronic hopping conduction(polaron) for all copper doped derivatives and ionic conduction for lithium substituted $Na_2Ti_3O_7$.The mechanism of conduction in the intermediate region is associated interlayer ionic conduction and in the highest temperature region is associated modified interlayer ionic conduction.

As a basic study to recover the copper from the copper converter slag, the characterisitcs of converter slag was studied. The results obtained in this work are as follows. 1. The copper converter slag is composed of Cu, $Cu_2$S, $Fe_3$$O_4$, Fayalite and silicate. 2. It is supposed that magnetite in converter slag is oxidized to hematite at $720^{\circ}C$ and this phase is soluted to fayalite. 3. As the converter slag is added in the water solution, pH increased and the heavy metal ions in the water are adsorbed on the slag. 4. Work index of the converter slag cooled for the 10 hour and the 2 hour are 25~27 kWh/ton and 35 kWh/ton, respectively. 5. In the case of grinding test of converter slag, fayalite in converter slag is easily grinded than magnetite in converter slag.

The aim of this work was to investigate the purification and characterization dixoygenases isolated from Delftia sp. JK-2, which could utilize aniline, benzoate, and p-hydroxybenoate as sole carbon and energy source. Catechol 1,2-dioxygenase (C1, 2O), catechol 2,3-dioxygenase(C2, 3O), and protocatechuate 4,5-dioxygenase(4,5-PCD) were isolated by benzoate, aniline, and p-hydroxybenzoate. In initial experiments, several characteristics of C1 ,2O, C2, 3O, and 4,5-PCD separated with ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-sepharose, and Q-sepharose were investigated. Specific activity of C1 ,2O, C2, 3O, and 4,5-PCD were approximately 3.3 unit/mg, 4.7 unit/mg, and 2.0 unit/mg. C1 ,2O and C2, 3O demonstrated their enzyme activities to other substrates, catechol and 4-methylcatechol. 4,5-PCD showed the specific activity to the only substrate, protocatechuate, but the substrates(e.g., catechol, 3-methylcatechol, 4-methylcatechol, 4-chlorocatechol, 4-nitrocatechol) did not show any specific activities in this work. The optimum temperature of C1, 2O, C2, 3O, and 4,5-PCD were 30$^{\circ}C$, and the optimal pHs were approximately 8, 8, and 7, respectively. Ag$\^$+/, Hg$\^$+/, Cu$\^$2+/ showed inhibitory effect on the activity of C1, 2O and C2, 3O, but Ag$\^$+/, Hg$\^$+/, Cu$\^$2+/, Fe$\^$3+/ showed inhibitory effect on the activity of 4,5-PCD. Molecular weight of the C1, 2O, C2, 3O, and 4,5-PCD were determined to approximately 60 kDa,35 kDa, and 62 kDa by SDS-PAGE.

In order to reveal the mechanism of heavy metal behavior in soils relating to factors such as soil pH, organic matter, C.E.C. and soil minerals influencing the activities of heavy metals, Cd, Cu and Zn were applied to soil columns filled with 8 different soils with adjusted soil pH to several levels between 3.0 to 11.0 and the amounts of adsorption and desorption of these heavy metals were measured. 1. At the adsorption maxima of three heavy metals(Cd, Cu and Zn) soil pH appeared to be near 6.0 regardless of properties of the 8 soils, and adsorption gradually decreased above and below pH 6.0. This phenomenon was the same in both heavy metal solutions and mixed solutions, and the mixed solution, containing three heavy metals, revealed slightly higher amounts of Cu adsorption and Cd adsorption. 2. It was also found that the adsorption of Cu and Zn by soils was positively correlated with C.E.C. and the organic matter of soils, respectively. However, the pH values showing maxima of heavy metal adsorption were negatively correlated with organic matter content by contrast with the correlation between the maxima and the C.E.C. values in soils. 3. The adsorption of Cu by soils markedly increased more with $Ca(OH)_2$ application than with NaOH application for soil pH adjusment. This was probably because of Ca effects in Cu precipitation in soils, in addition to the effect of the simple soil pH itself on Cu adsorption 4. It was also revealed that adsorbed Cu was hardly desorbed by $N-NH_4OAC$ solution from the Daejeong soil series compared to the Jeonbug and Yechun soil series. This was because the Daejeong soil series consisted of large amounts of expanding type Vermiculite minerals and also was high in C.E.C. and soil organic matter.
