The water-based ink has lately attracted considerable attention because of problems of energy and population. Carbon blacks have been widely utilized in water-based systems to provide pigmentation. One of the most important factors in the successful formulation of an aqueous system containing carbon black is the dispersion and the selection and proper utilization of the dispersing agent. This is similar to water-based ink. This paper discusses dispersion of carbon black with the factors affecting the dispersing agent requirement (DAR) and describes a laboratory method for determining it. Variables that affect the dispersion, such as structure, surface area, and oxidation level of the carbon black are examined through test data. Anionic and nonionic dispersing agents are evaluated using the DAR method. From this study, the increased surface area, the increased DAR is indicated. DAR is indicated to depend on HLB(Hydrophilic Lipophilic Balance) of dispersing agent and pH of dispersing system.

The present age, it takes an interest in maintenance and preserve of the aged constructive materials cause destruction of environmental reason and a loss of resource. As answering question given to candidates at a civil examination, it is carbonated concrete construction materials to give alkalization agent to seek the plan to be extended durable life. The representative material, it was known for a chemical compound of alkailzation-Silica acid with Lithium and also used on inside and outside the country. But, it is so difficult to decide the effect because the work is to be repeated for a processing of construction. So, in this study, to investigate recovery faculty on a period of incubation that restrain processing of carbonation by impregnation alkalization agent, we were made good progress from basic test through comparative and analysis at laboratory and the spot of construction.

The effect of pasting agent on the defibrillation of Tencel fabric was investigated. It was evaluated by the weigth loss of fabric when the fabric was treated with cellulase containing various kinds of pasting agents. The surface appearance of Tencel fabric was checked by SEM. Under the treatment condition without pasting agent, the weight loss of fabric was high at pH 5.0 and $60^\circ{C}$. This means that the cellulase activity was high at this condition. By increasing the concentration of carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC), the weight loss of fabric was decreased monotonously. This tendency was not appeared in other pasting agents. CMC is synthesized by the reaction of chloroacetic acid and cellulose. The glucose units may be remained after the reaction. So, it was considered that the degradation of glucose unit in Tencel was decreased, because cellulase had to attack both Tencel and CMC.

The primary aim of this study is to investigate new semi-abrasive free slurry including acid colloidal silica and hydrogen peroxide for copper chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP). In general, slurry for copper CMP consists of colloidal silica as an abrasive, organic acid as a complex-forming agent, hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent, a film forming agent, a pH control agent and several additives. We developed new semi-abrasive free slurry (SAFS) including below 0.5％ acid colloidal silica. We evaluated additives as stabilizers for hydrogen peroxide as well as accelerators in tantalum nitride CMP process. We also estimated dispersion stability and Zeta potential of the acid colloidal silica with additives. The extent of enhancement in tantalum nitride CMP was verified through anelectrochemical test. This approach may be useful for the application of single and first step copper CMP slurry with one package system.

Reducing the energy consumption while maintaining pulp quality is an important objective of today's paper industry. Enzymatic treatment of fibers and the application of dry strength agent were investigated as methods to reduce energy consumption during refining and to upgrade fiber characteristics. Modification of recycled fibers with an enzyme was effective in improving relining efficiency and reducing refining energy. Optimization of dry strength agent application conditions including stock pH, cationic demand, zeta potential, etc. were found to be very important for improving its effectiveness.

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) has been considered one of major causes in patient with globus symptom. Diagnostic methods for GER are gastroesophagoscopy, acid perfusion test esophagogram, esophageal manometry, 24-hour double probe pH-metry, and so on. According to the literature, positive rate of GER on esophagogram was reported variably from 4.7% to 45.9% and the outcome of classical treatment with antacid and prokinetic agent was reported from 70% to 84%. We reviewed the medical records of 81 patients with globus symptom. Each patient had been performed esophagogram and treated with antacid and prokinetic agent. Positive rate of GER on esophagogram was 46.9%. Complete resolution and improvement of globus symptom was 79% overally, 92% in positive group of GER rut esophgogram, and 72% in negative group. Considering aspects of time-cost and compliance of patient esophagogram is one of the screening methods of GER in patients with globus symptom. Antacid and prokinetic agent is recommended in treatment of patients with globus symptom.

A new chiral derivatization agent with sugar moiety, 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranosyl isothiocyanate (GATC) was synthesized. Several ${\beta}-blockers$ were investigated for the possible separation of the enantiomers by reversed-phase HPLC after derivatization with this new chiral derivatization agent (GATC). GATC was reacted readily with ${\beta}-blockers$ at room temperature and the reaction mixture could directly be injected into the HPLC system. The corresponding diastereomers were well resolved on an ODS column with acetonitrile-ammonium acetate buffer as a mobile phase and monitored at UV 254 nm. The optimization of the derivatization procedure (concentration of GATC, reaction temperature and time) and HPLC conditions (pH and ionic strength of mobile phase) were investigated and compared with GITC.

Silver-alginate (Ag-alginate) was prepared with Na-alginate extracted from marine brown algae. The antibacterial effect of Ag-alginate against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was carried out by measuring optical density of liquid culture at 600 nm. The cell growth of S. aureus and E. coli was very active at pH 7, and was inhibited by adding Ag-alginate with more than $0.006 wt.{\%}$ of stiver content. The cell growth of S. aureus .and E. coli was also influenced by the characteristics of counter Jon of silver. The cell growth of S. aureus was less inhibitory than E. coli at the same concentration of Ag-a1ginate.

Soil washing is one of the most frequently used remediation technologies for heavy metal-contaminated soils. Inorganic and organic acids and chelating agents that can enhance the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils have been employed as soil washing agents. However, the toxicity, low removal efficiency and high cost of these chemicals limit their use. Given that humic substance (HS) can effectively chelate heavy metals, the development of an eco-friendly, performance-efficient and cost-effective soil washing agent using a nano-scale chelator composed of HS was examined in this study. Copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) were selected as target heavy metals. In soil washing experiments, HS concentration, pH, soil:washing solution ratio and extraction time were evaluated with regard to washing efficiency and the chelation effect. The highest removal rates by soil washing (69% for Cu and 56% for Pb) were achieved at an HS concentration of 1,000 mg/L and soil:washing solution ratio of 1:25. Washing with HS was found to be effective when the pH value was higher than 8, which can be attributed to the increased chelation effect between HS and heavy metals at the high pH range. In contrast, the washing efficiency decreased markedly in the low pH range due to HS precipitation. The chelation capacities for Cu and Pb in the aqueous phase were determined to be 0.547mmol-Cu/g-HS and 0.192mmol-Pb/g-HS, respectively.

Silver-alginate and copper-alginate were prepared with Na-alginate extracted from marine brown algae(Sargassum fluitans). The antibacterial effect of Ag-alginate or Cu-alginate against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was carried out by measuring optical density of liquid culture at 600 nm. The cell growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was very active at pH 7, and was inhibited by adding Ag-alginate with more than 0.006 wt.% of silver content. The antibacterial effect of Ag-alginate against S. aureus and E. coli was better than that of Cu-alginate at the same metal concentration. The cell growth of S. aureus was less inhibitory than E. coli at the same concentration of Ag-alginate. The cell growth of S. aureus and E. coli was also influenced by the characteristics of counter ion of silver.
