The effects of substituents, pressure and temperature on the dissociation constants of alkylpyrines(2, 3 and 4-methyl and ethyl) were studied by measuring the dissociation constants of pyridines by conductance method at various temperatures and pressures in aqueous solution. The constants were increased as the temperature increase but decreased as pressure increase. From the constants various thermodynamic properties were calculated and discussed the dissociation reactions. It was estimated that alkylpyridines have exceptional dissociation reactions.

Two thermodynamic models were used to predict the partial molar volumes of solutes in supercritical carbon dioxide at infinite dilution: (1) the Peng-Robinson equation of state with various mixing rules including those based on $EOS/G^E$ (2) the Kirkwood Buff fluctuation integral with the hard sphere expansion (HSE) method. The Kirkwood-Buff fluctuation integral method, in which an equation of state for pure component and molecular parameters are required, produced better results especially near the critical point than the Peng-Robinson equation of state with the several mixing rules based an $EOS/G^E$. When the $EOS/G^E$ mixing rules were used, poorer results were obtained compared with the classical mixing rule and Kirkwood-Buff model.

The hydrothermal alteration is evaluated using multicomponent equilibrium calculations with the program CHILLER for the reactions between hydrothermal water and rhyolite at the temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ and pressure of 500 bars. The chemical-reaction model on the depositional processes of the sericitite confirms that the hydrothermal water-rock interaction(hydrothermal alteration) is the main mechanism of the sericitite formation. The principal change in the aqueous phase during the reaction is the pH increase. Overall trends for the major species are the increase in total molalities of K, Ca, $SiO_2$, Al, Mg, Fe, Na, and sulfide in solid phase with hydrothermal water-rhyolite reaction and the decrease of them in aqeous solution by precipitation of hydrothermal products. Quartz and sericite are the first minerals to form. The sequence of minerals to precipitate following them is chlorite, epidote, pyrite and microcline as water/rock ratio decreases. Although calculated results cannot duplicate the complexities of natural hydrothermal alteration, the calculation provides thermodynamic constraints on the natural process. The calculation results resemble those of experimental studies. Sericitite forms where pH decreases and water/rock ratio increases.

The Transient State Theory of Significant Liquid Structure is applied to a binary liquid solution of benzene and carbon tetrachloride, which gives slightly positive deviation from Raoults law. The partition function for the solution is derived according to the proposed theory. The various thermodynamic properties such as total and partial vapor pressures, molar volumes, entropies of mixing, and compressibilities are calculated at three different temperatures, 298.15^{\circ}K$, 313.15^{\circ}K$ and 343.1515^{\circ}K$. The calculated values agree satisfactorily with experimental data.

The solubilities of different multicomponent lanthanide oxide (Ln₂O₃) solid solutions including binary (Ln₁ and Ln₂ = La, Nd, Eu, or Tm), ternary (Ln₁, Ln₂, and Ln₃ = La, Nd, Eu, or Tm), and higher systems (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu) were studied after aging for four weeks at 60℃. Our recent study revealed that the phase transformations in binary ((La, Nd) and (La, Eu)) and ternary (La, Nd, Eu) systems are responsible for the formation of (La, Nd)(OH)₃, (La, Eu)(OH)₃, and (La, Nd, Eu)(OH)₃ solid solutions, respectively. The variations in the mole fractions of La³⁺, Nd³⁺, and Eu³⁺ in the sample solutions of these hydroxide solid solutions indicated that a thermodynamic equilibrium might account for the apparent La, Nd, and Eu solubilities. Conversely, the binary and ternary systems containing Tm₂O₃ as the heavy lanthanide oxide retained the oxide-based solid solutions, and their solubility behaviors were dominated by their congruent dissolutions. In the higher multicomponent system, the X-ray diffraction patterns of the solid phases, before and after contact with the aqueous phase indicated the formation of a stable oxide solid solution and their solubility behavior was explained by its congruent dissolution.

The synergistic effect of 2-chloromethylbenzimidazole (2-CBI) and potassium iodide (KI) for mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed that, with the addition of 100 ppm potassium iodide, the inhibition efficiecy (IE) of 100 ppm 2-CBI in 1 M hydrochloric acid had been improved from 91.14% to 96.15%. And synergistic parameter of 100 ppm 2-CBI with different amounts of potassium iodide is always greater than 1. The adsorption of potassium iodide combining with 100 ppm 2-CBI obeys to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Thermodynamic adsorption parameters, including ∆G⁰_ads, ∆H_a and ∆S_a of the adsorption of the combinned inhibitor, as well as the E_a of the mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl with the combinned inhibitor, were calculated.

The ability of Zizyphus lotus stem powder (ZLSP) to remove Pb (II) and Cd (II) ions from an aqueous solution was evaluated. The present phenomenon of biosorption was revealed to depend on pH, biosorbent dosage, temperature, initial ionic concentration, time of contact and biosorbent's particle size. The sorption process was exothermic (∆H°<0), and showing a strong Pb(II)/Cd(II)-ZLSP affinity (∆S°>0). Gibbs free energy data (∆G°<0, and decreases as temperature increase) reveals that the process studied is characterized by its feasibility and spontaneous nature. The best fits of the equilibrium data were obtained by the Temkin model and the Langmuir model. The maximum Pb(II)/Cd(II)-ZLSP biosorption capacities were 33.02 mg/g for Pb (II) and 20.73 mg/g for Cd (II). The pseudo-second order model was the most appropriate for fitting the kinetic data. The characterization of the biochemical groups essentially involved in the sorption phenomenon was made possible by FTIR spectral analysis. The capacity of ZLSP as an effective and ecofriendly biosorbent is confirmed through this study.

The adsorption of cellulase on celluloses with different crystallinities was carried out In nonionic surfactant(Tween 20) solution. Highly crystallized celluloses were prepared by enzymatic prehydrolyzation. From the experiments, the Langmuir isotherm parameters, maximum adsorption amount (Amax) and adsorption equilibrium constant(Kad) for the adsorption, were obtained in the presence and absence of nonionic surfactant. It was found that the Kad values were decreased by adding Tween 20. This indicates that the adsorption affinity is reduced by nonionic surfactant, and Amax decreased with increasing crystallinity under conditions accompanying in both the presence and absence of surfactant. The thermodynamic parameters such as $\Delta$Ha, $\Delta$Ga, and $\Delta$Sa for the adsorption were calculated by using the experimental data. From these results, it was found that the adsorption processes are exothermic reactions in both the presence and absence of surfactant. The heats of adsorption in surfactant solution(-4.68∼-3.62KJmol-1) are smaller than that of the adsorption in the absence of surfactant(-15.60∼-12.10KJmol-1). These results indicated that the tightness of adsorption was reduced by the addition of surfactant. The $\Delta$Sa values were estimated to be positive. This may suggest that the water and solute are released from cellulose on adsorption. The $\Delta$Sa values in surfactant solution are larger than that of the adsorption in the absence of surfactant. This may suggest that the binding of surfactant on hydrophobic region of cellulase cause dispersion of water and solute molecule orienting around the enzyme molecule. The surfactant played an important role in the desorption of enzyme from cellulose functional groups, and enhance the saccharification of the cellulose.

Mesoporous polystyrene (PS) and polyethersulfone (PES) membranes have been fabricated by reverse-thermally induced phase separation (RTIPS) process, using flash freezing. The mesoporous pores can be created by the nano-scaled phase separation induced by the formation and growth of solvent crystals in the dope solution in RTIPS process. RTIPS process has been characterized through analysis on the enthalpy change in the solvent of the dope solution, the morphology of the membrane fabricated with different polymer content, and the pore size distribution and its standard deviation of pore size of the membrane with polymer content via DSC, SEM, and BET, respectively. It is found that the kinetic aspect of the dope solution, i.e., the crystallization of solvent is a crucial factor to determine the structure of membrane fabricated in RTIPS rather than the thermodynamic aspect of the dope solution.

In this study, Malachite Green (MG) dye removal from synthetic wastewaters by adsorption process using raw boron enrichment waste (BEW) and it's modifications (with acid and ultrasound) were aimed. 81% MG removal was obtained by BEW at optimum equilibrium conditions (time: 40 min., dosage: 500 mg/dm³, pH: 5-6, speed: 200 rpm, 298 K). MG removal from wastewaters using acid modified boron enrichment waste (HBEW) was determined as 82% at optimum conditions (time: 20 min., dosage: 200 mg/dm³, pH: 10, speed: 200 rpm, 298 K). For ultrasound modified BEW (UBEW), the highest MG removal percent was achieved as 84% at optimum conditions (time: 30 min, dosage: 375 mg/ dm³, pH: 8, speed: 200 rpm, 298 K). The equilibrium data of Malachite Green was evaluated for BEW, HBEW and UBEW adsorbents by using sorption isotherms such as Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin models, out of which Langmuir model (R² = 0.971, 0.987 and 0.984) gave better correlation and maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 147.05, 434.78 and 192.30 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation for sorption of MG onto wastes. A look at thermodynamic data reveals that natural sorption is spontaneous and endothermic because of free negative energy exchange and positive change in enthalpy, respectively. The results indicated that boron enrichment waste, and HCl and ultrasound-modified boron enrichment waste served as good alternative adsorbents in dye removal from wastewater.
