We have investigated the solvent effects on Δlog $K_s$ (the difference of stability constant of binding) and the relative free energies of binding of $La^{3+} and Nd^{3+}$ ions to 18-crown-6 by a Monte Carlo simulation of statistical perturbation theory (SPT) in diverse solvents. We compared relative binding Gibbs free energies and the differences in stability constant (Δlog $K_s$) of binding of $La^{3+} and Nd^{3+}$ ions to 18-crown-6 in $CH_3OH$ in this study with the experimental. There is a good agreement between our study and the experimental. We noted that Borns function of the solvents, the electron pair donor properties of the solvent, the radii of host and guest and the differences in solvation dominate the differences in the stability constant (Δlog $K_s$) as well as the relative free energies of binding of TEX>$La^{3+} to Nd^{3+}$ ions to 18-crown-6. The results of this study appear promising for providing the association properties of crown ethers with alkaline earth metals among polar solvents and the less polar or non-polar solvents.

Various single solvents were tested to find the effective solvent for the extraction of algae oil from wet-form Chlorella minutissima. In the case of single solvents, their extractabilities for algae oil were increased with their polarity because the water in wet algae cell is to form a solvent shell around the lipids. Based on these results, the wet-form algae samples were treated with a polar alcohol solvent and then a nonpolar solvent was added in algae residue. In the algae oil extraction by ethanol/n-hexane, total lipid contents were 40-50% and composition of triglyceride in extracted oil was 46.50%. Considering solvent toxicity of conventional solvent mixture such as chloroform and methanol for algae oil extraction, the ethanol/n-hexane system was identified as the effective one for the oil extraction from wet-form Chlorella minutissima.

In order to obtain high dye uptake initially, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) filaments were dyed with C.I.Disperse Orange 3 and Red 1 in mixed solvents of tetrachloroethylene acidic solvent, ethyl alcohol and tetrachloroethylene basic solvent, DMF. The dyeing behavior in the mixed solvent of tetrachloroethylene and basic solvent, DMF, the initial uptake of disperse dyes increased rapidly. The shrinkage of PET increased when the solubility parameter values of PET fiber and mixed solvent approached graduately.

The purposes of this study are to prepare Hanji fiber-filter sheets using replacement liquid in water-swollen fiber with non-polar solvent such as ethanol, methanol and pentane. The experiments were studied on the selection of optimal non-polar solvent and the optimal drying method for wetted fiber and then were to know physicochemical characteristics of prepared Hanji fiber-filter sheet. The Ethanol as liquid changer in water-swollen fiber was excellent solvent and the optimal drying method for them was freeze drying served with vacuum pump. The bulk density and porosity of prepared fiber sheet from freeze dryer were 0.11-0.13 g/mL, half of natural dried fiber sheet, and 90%, respectively. The results of SEM observation for the fiber sheet prepared with natural drying or heating drying were shown very close structure of fiber wall in dry state. However, the freeze drying sheet were shown the open structure. So, the head loss of freeze drying sheet was very lower than natural drying and heating drying sheets. From the results of BTEX removal experiments, the sheets dried at water wetted condition was shown more higher efficiency than the fiber sheets dried at solvent wetted condition.

Rate of solvolysis of dansyl chloride in aqueous binary mixtures of acetone, methanol and ethanol are reported. Kinetic solvent isotope effects in methanol and product selectivities in alcohol-water mixtures are also reported. Kinetic data are interpreted with the Grunwald-Winstein and Kivinen equations. The value of $k_{CH3OH}/k_{CH3OD}=1.76$ suggests that a general have catalyzed and/or an $S_AN$ pathway is operative in methanol, a less polar solvent. Rate-rate profiles for solvolysis of dansyl chloride in the aqueous binary media indicate a change in reaction channel from $S_AN$ (in less polar media) to $S_N2$ (in more polar media) mechanism.

We have measured ${\pi}^*$, $\alpha$ and $\beta$ polarity parameters of 2-propanol / hexane and ethyl acetate / hexane mixed solvents over the entire range of composition. For the ethyl acetate / hexane system, only ${\pi}^*$ and $\beta$ were measured since $\alpha$ of these mixed solvents are defined zero. We have corrected the measured polarity parameters to obtain consistent data with the existing literature data assuming a good linear correlation between the measured and the true values. The variation patterns are consistent with the expected trends based on the chemistry of the solvent components. The general trends of the two solvent systems are summarized as follows. ${\pi}^*$ merely increases as the content of the more polar solvent increases while $\alpha$ and $\beta$ increase with the increase of the content of the more polar solvent, then decrease upon continuing addition of the more polar solvent.

The infinite dilution activity coefficients(${\gamma}{\infty}$) of nonpolar and polar solutes have been determined in different solvents at temperature between 60 and $100^{\circ}C$ by using gas chromatography. The $ln{\gamma}{\infty}$ values of nonpolar solutes(alkanes, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene and $CCl_4$) were linearly increased as 1/T in the nonpolar solvent (n-octadecane) and the polar solvent(n-hexadecyl alcohol) systems and the $ln{\gamma}{\infty}$ values at the constant temperature were increased with the number of carbon atoms of solute molecule. For the polar solutes(alcohols, esters and ketones) and the weak polar solvent(di-2-ethyl adiphate and di-2-ethylhexyl sebacate) systems, the relations of $ln{\gamma}{\infty}$ vs. 1/T were found to be curved with increased slope, and the $ln{\gamma}{\infty}$ values at constant temperature were linearly diminished as increasing the number of carbon atoms of solute molecule. For the polar solutes(alcohols, esters and ketones) and the strong polar solvents(triphenyl phosphate and tricresyl phosphate)systems, the relations of $ln{\gamma}{\infty}$ vs. 1/T were found to be curved with increased slope but $ln{\gamma}{\infty}$ values at constant temperature were linearly increased as increasing the number of carbon atoms of solute molecule.

Poly (N-vinylcarbazole) was obtained spontaneously by 1,1,2,2-tetracyanocyclopropylstyrene(1) in polar solvents such as dichloromethane and acetonitrile at room temperature. The polymerization reactions were faster in more polar solvent and were not proceeded in less polar solvents such as chloroform and diethyl ether. The formation of poly (N-vinylcarbazole) was explained by bond-forming initiation theory, in which the initiating species are zwitterionic tetramethylene intermediates.

Reactions of thebaine with phenylsulfonylpropadiene in various solvents were investigated. It was found that Diels-Alder reaction adduct was obtained in nonpolar solvent, while addition reaction adduct was obtained in polar solvent. Transformations of these two products were also carried out.

Crosslinked PVA membranes were achieved by esterification between the hydroxyl groups of PVA and carboxyl group of sulfosuccinic acid (SSA). SSA containing sulfonic group was used as a chemical crosslinking agent as well as a donor of fixed anionic group ($-SO_3$H). The crosslinking density of membranes was controlled by SSA content and calculated using polar and non-polar solvent. The crosslinking density measured by using non-polar solvent such as xylene and benzene increases with SSA content. However, using the polar solvent such as water and methanol, the crosslinking density increases up to SSA content of 20 wt% and above the content decrease due to sulfonic acid groups. The crosslinked PVA membranes were studied in relation with water diffusion coefficient and mechanical property as well as proton conductivity and methanol permeability as a function of crosslinking density. These properties were all dependent on the effect of SSA content.
