Several characteristic results of physical and optical properties of paper treated by UV light were obtained in the previous papers(Kim et al. 1988). In this paper, folding endurance and brightness of paper prepared by spraying photostabilizer were examined in order to elucidate photodegradation phenomena, UV light absorber and radical scavenger were most effective in preventing of folding endurance decrease. These results may be indicated that depolymerization of cellulose and hemicellulose chains leading to degradation of paper mechanical properties mainly caused by radical reaction. Ineffective hydroperoxide decomposer may be explained because of auto-oxidation reactions before forming stable compound from hydroperoxide.

Photochemical degradation of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) in Fe(III)/tartrate/$H_2O_2$ system was investigated utilizing fluorescent lamps as the primary light source. Effects of initial pH, light source, and initial concentration of each reactant on DMP photodegradation was examined. The results show that the system was able to effectively photodegrade DMP utilizing visible light. Fluorescent lamp, halide lamp, UV lamp and sunlight could all be used as the light sources. The optimal pH ranged among 3.0-4.0 for the system. Increases of the initial concentrations of Fe(III) and $H_2O_2$ accelerated the photodegradation of DMP, whereas excessively high initial tartrate concentration resulted in the decrease of photodegradation efficiency and rate of DMP.

New methodolgies for the syntheses of unsymmetrical squarylium(SQ) dyes for organic photoconductors(OPC) were developed and photostabilities for these dyes were dicucced. These dyes absorbed at 640-690nm and exhibit high molecular extinction coefficient about 10. photodegradation rate of these dyes is acceralated in the presence if singlet oxygen sensitizer. On the other hand, the photodegradation rate os retarded by adding effective singlet oxygen quencher, such as 2:1 metal dithiolate. It is suggested that the photodegration of unsymmetrical SQ dye may be due to a photo-oxidation involving singlet oxygen.

Objectives: The photocatalytic degradation of toluene in a batch mode photoreactor for the purpose of the hazardous waste treatment was investigated. Methods: Kinetic experiments using a low pressure mercury lamp (Lambda Scientific Pty Ltd, 50 Watt) emitting both UV and visible light were performed at $31^{\circ}C$ over toluene concentrations ranging from 10 to 50 mg/l in water with $50%TiO_2/6%WO_3$ (TW) concentration of 1 g/l at a pH of 6. Results: Kinetic studies showed that $50%TiO_2/6%WO_3$ (TW) photocatalyst was highly active in toluene degradation; we observed that 99% of the pollutant was degraded after six hours under visible irradiation; furthermore, we observed that adsorption onto TW catalyst was responsible for the decrease of toluene with pseudo-first order kinetics. It was also found that oxygen as a radical source in the sol medium played a significant role in affecting the photodegradation of toluene, especially with a two-fold elevation. This increase was achieved by a more than four-fold elevation of the photodegradation of toluene in the presence of acetone than without, presumably via an energy transfer mechanism. Conclusions: We concluded that photodegradation in acetone and oxygen molecules along with TW was an effective method for the removal of toluene from wastewater.

광촉매 반응에서 $TiO_2$에 금속물질을 첨가하면 촉매표면이 변화되며, 이러한 금속물질은 광분해반응의 속도를 증가시킨다. 본 연구에서는 $TiO_2$ 광촉매의 광분해능력을 향상시키기 위해 다양한 방법을 이용하여 개질하였으며, 개질된 광촉매의 광분해특성은 회분식 광반응기를 이용하여 조사하였다. 우수한 $TiO_2$ 광촉매용액을 얻기 위해 여러 종류의 분산제와 안정제를 조사하였으며, 분산제로는 isoproply alcohol, 안정제로는 sodium silicate가 적합하였다. 톨루엔 분해반응을 향상시키기 위해 다양한 금속물질을 $TiO_2$ 광촉매에 첨가하여 광분해효율을 조사한 결과 Pd가 가장 우수하였으며, Cu와 W도 우수하였다. Pd를 첨가한 경우 25%의 제거효율 향상이 있었다. 그러나 Fe의 경우 광촉매분해반응을 상당히 저해하는 것으로 나타났다. $Pd/TiO_2$ 광촉매에 Cu 또는 W를 부가적으로 첨가하여도 촉매의 광분해효율에는 증가가 없었다.

Objectives: This study was carried out to examine whether the apparent photolysis with or without sensitizers [NaOH and humic acid (HA)] was prompted photodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) in aqueous solution. Methods: PCBs photodegradation occurred using fluorescence black lamps at ${\lambda}_{max}=300nm$. PCB congeners were exposed in 10 ppm HA or 0.05N NaOH solutions, to investigate the decreasing profile of PCB concentration with time. The PCBs were then analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Reductive degradation profile of PCB congeners in the presence of both sensitizers under oxygen-saturated protic conditions was described using the wind-rose diagrams. Results: Use of HA or NaOH decreased PCB concentration with time in the dark and on irradiation, indicating that photolysis underwent through reductive dechlorination through energy transfer and possibly with reactive oxygens. The dechlorination was marked by a chromatographic shift, observed in the GC-MS plots. Therefore it is logical to assume that increasing the dose of sensitizers would increase the photodegradation rates of PCBs. The half-lives of pentachloro-PCB (penta-3) in 0.05N NaOH and 10 ppm HA were estimated at about 47 hours and 39 hours, respectively, under the same experimental conditions of photolysis. It was found that the rate of photolysis of pentachloro-PCB in aqueous solution followed apparent first-order kinetics compared to other congeners. Conclusion: Photochemical degradation (using 328 nm UV light) of penta- and hexa-PCBs in HA or alkaline solution is a viable method for pretreatment method. The results are helpful for the further comprehension of the reaction mechanism for photolytic dechlorination of PCBs in aquatic system.

1-Methylimidazole-2-thiol, as a kind of mercaptans, is a typical organic pollutant which has not been efficiently removed. In this study, titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) photocatalyst based on magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was synthesized via hydrothermal and sol-gel methods. The as-prepared photocatalyst was extensively characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray energy diffraction spectrum (EDS), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis DRS) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). This photocatalyst of $TiO_2$/$Fe_3O_4$/MWCNTs was proved to exhibit high photocatalytic efficiency and the photodegradation rate could reach nearly 82.7% for the degradation of 1-methylimidazole-2-thiol under ultraviolet irradiation. In addition, the results demonstrated that inorganic ions had a negative impact on photodegradation of 1-methylimidazole-2-thiol to varying degrees. Moreover, pH had a great and complex effect on photocatalytic degradation of 1-methylimidazole-2-thiol under ultraviolet irradiation.

Diol과 diacid 단량체들의 다양한 조합으로 2단계 축합중합으로 가교구조를 가지는 세 종류의 신규 폴리에스테르를 새롭게 합성하였다. 이들 고분자 필름은 $240^{\circ}C$에서 수 시간 고온 열처리하면, 주사슬에 의한 금지 전이에도 불구하고, 가시영역에서 흡수를 나타내었으며 330 nm 이상의 파장에서 여기시키면 청색에서 근적외선에 이르는 넓은 범위에서 발광을 나타내었다. 신규 폴리에스테르의 발광 현상은 주사슬에 포함된 말로네이트기가 고온 열처리를 통해 자기축합 형태의 Knoevenagel 반응을 일으켜 분자 내 공역구조를 형성하기 때문이다. 또한 이들 고분자의 열적 특성은 가지화도 차이에 의한 화학적 가교정도에 따라 현저한 차이를 보였을 뿐 아니라 광분해 현상도 관찰되었다. 필름 상태에서 강한 자외선을 조사하여 말로네이트기의 분해반응을 유도하고, 이를 이용한 형광 이미지 패터닝을 수행한 결과, 고해상도의 이미지 패턴을 얻을 수 있었다.

스피로파이란은 반복적인 광 변색현상 과정에서 광 퇴화 특성을 보이는 대표적인 물질이다. 스피로파이란은 뛰어난 안정성, 빠른 응답속도, 강한 색 변화, 빛에 의한 물질의 화학적, 물리적 특성 조절이 가능하다는 점으로 광 스위치, 광 메모리, 바이오 센서 등의 다양한 분야에 적용되고 있다. 하지만 스피로파이란은 광 퇴화되며 기능이 점차 떨어지기 때문에, 광퇴화에 따른 스피로파이란의 특성 변화에 대해 자외선-가시광선 분광법, 핵 자기 공명 분광법, 라만 분광법 등을 이용한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 스피로파이란의 광 퇴화 특성을 테라헤르츠 주파수 영역에서 테라헤르츠 시간 영역 분광법(Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, THz-TDS)을 이용하여 측정 및 분석하였다. 반복적인 자외선 조사에 따른 스피로파이란의 광 퇴화 특성이 테라헤르츠 영역에서의 흡수량 증가로 나타남을 확인하였다. 이러한 스피로파이란의 광 퇴화 특성이 야기하는 테라헤르츠 영역 흡수량 변화 경향은 가시광선 영역 흡수량 변화 경향과 서로 반대됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
