A chemical heat pump based on the reversible reactions between metal chlorides and ammonia gas is attractive alternative to compression system and liquid absorption systems in cooling and refrigerating fields. The advantages of chemical heat pump are no regulatory constants due to CFC refrigerants, utilization of gas, industrial waste heat, electricity, fuel oil etc. as heat sources and wide applications to energy storage system, large-scale energy managements for industrial process. The scale-up of chemical heat pump from laboratory prototype to pilot plants necessitates the interpretation of system performance and evaluation of dynamic behavior in the chemical reactor. This study contains the prediction of performance of chemical refrigerator according to operating condition, the dynamic simulations through reactor modelling, which is used for the calculation of reactive medium temperature and the conversion variation with reactor cooling temperature, and the effect survey of block parameters on the power of refrigerator.

Sorption experiments of $^{60}$ Co, $^{85}$ Sr. and $^{137}$ Cs onto sandstone particles in a batch were carried out to investigate the migration mobility. Sorption kinetics and reversibility as well as sorption mechanisms were examined. Sorption reaction occurred mostly within 10 hours on the outer surface of the sandstone particle but diffusion into the inner surface of the mineral has still occurred after that time. In order to distinguish sorption types of radionuclides, a sequential chemical extraction was introduced. The sorbed radionuclides were then extracted by applying different solutions of synthetic groundwater, CaCl$_2$, KCl and KOX-HA Especially KCl is adopted to extract the ion-exchanged cesium. Sorption types considered are reversible sorption under groundwater condition, ion exchange, association with ferro-manganese oxides or oxyhydroxides, and irreversible fixation. Strontium sorbs onto the sandstone surface mainly by fast and reversible ion exchange reaction. However, cobalt and cesium do not sorb by simple process. The main sorptive binding of cobalt was the association with ferro-manganese oxides and the secondary one was irreversible fixation. Diffusion into the lattice of minerals controlled the sorption rate of cobalt The main sorptin type of cesium was irreversible fixation, while ion exchange reaction was the secondary importance. Hence the oreder of migration mobility for the three radionuclides was Sr$^{2＋}$ ＞ Co$^{2＋}$ ＞ Cs$^{＋}$ in the sandstones.

This paper presents the performance of a porous glass electroosmotic pump using an iodide/triiodide aqueous solution. The porous glass electroosmotic pump is characterized in terms of the flow rate and voltage. The flow rate and voltage increases linearly with current. A point where the voltage significantly increases is observed owing to an excess in redox capacity. The transition time monotonously decreases with current. The normalized flow rate (flow rate per membrane surface area) is used to compare previous results with results obtained in this study. The normalized flow rate of porous glass frits is three times higher than that of Nafion 117.

가역적인 표면 젖음성의 제어가 가능한 스마트 표면은 첨단 센서, 기능성 멤브레인 등 여러 산업분야에 적용될 수 있는 계면제어 기술로써 많은 관심을 받을 것으로 기대된다. 표면의 젖음성은 표면의 화학적 구조와 기하학적 입체 구조에 의해 영향을 받는 데, 특히 외부자극에 의해 소재 물성을 가변시킬 수 있는 스마트 고분자 소재를 나노구조가 제어된 표면에 도입함으로써 표면의 젖음성을 초발수에서 초친수로 가역적으로 전환시킬 수 있는 스마트 표면을 효과적으로 구현할 수 있다. 자극 응답성 스마트 소재는 인가하는 외부자극에 따라 물리적 자극(빛, 온도, 전기, 자기)과 화학적 자극(pH, 용매, 이온)으로 구분할 수 있으며, 이를 복합적으로 적용한 이중/다중 유발 자극에 반응하는 소재가 있다. 본 기고문에서는 외부자극에 응답하는 자극응답성 고분자를 나노 구조 표면에 도입하여 초발수에서 초친수로의 가역적인 젖음성 변화가 가능한 고기능성 스마트 표면의 최근 연구 동향과 미래 전망에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 이런 다양한 외부자극을 이용한 표면 특성의 가역적 제어 기술을 통해 물-오일의 분리, 바이오센서, 약물 전달, 소프트로보틱스와 같은 스마트 소재의 잠재적 발전 가능성 또한 엿볼 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The instantaneous removal of ethylene glycol is very important fur obtaining high molecular weight polymer because of the reversibility of the polycondensation reaction of poly(ethylene naphthalate)(PEN). In this study, we investigated the mass transfer phenomena in the thin film of PEN oligomer where the polycondensation reaction took place at 280$^{\circ}C$ and under 0.1mmHg. In case of less than 0.025cm film thickness the mass transfer resistance through the thin film of the polymer melt was not so high that the overall reaction rate was governed only by the polycondenstion reaction. Both the mass transfer model and the diffusion model predicted the experimenatal data well but the diffusion model showed faster reaction rate in the low molecular weight range than the mass transfer model . It was estimated from the two models that the diffusivity was 4.7${\times}$10$\^$-6/$\textrm{cm}^2$/sec and the mass transfer coefficient was 1.4 ${\times}$10$\^$-4/cm/sec both of which were smaller than In case of poly(ethylene terephthalate).

The reduction mechanism at a mercury electrode of o-cresolphthalexon(OCP) in strongly alkaline supporting electrolytes has been investigated by several electrochemical techniques. The radical formed after first one electron reduction uptake, dimerizes. The result of cyclic voltammetric investigation demonstrated the reversible nature of the electron transfer and standard rate constant was $3.27{\times}10^{-2}$ cm/sec. The apparent irreversible behavior of the second wave is a result of the existence of a fast protonation following the second electron transfer. At low concentration of OCP(< $1{\times}10^{-4}$M), cathodic current were remarkably adsorptive properties. Prolonged electrolysis was carried out at controlled potential of -1.85V, original violet color of the solution becames progressively weaker, and then colorless solution. The final product of an exhaustive electrolysis is electro-inactive. The appearence of four steps may be explained by the fact that the reduction of OCP elucidated ECEC mechanism.

Voltammetric behavior of heavy lanthanide ions has been investigated by the DC, DPP and CV in acetonitrile solution. The reduction of $Gd^{3+}, Tb^{3+}, Dy^{3+}, Ho^{3+}, Er^{3+}, Tm^{3+} 및 Lu^{3+} proceed by three-electron change to the metallic state with totally irreversibility in 0.1M tetraethylammonium perchlorate. However, the reduction of Yb(Ⅲ) proceeds in two steps $(Yb^{3+} ＋ e^- \Leftrightarrow Yb^{2+} and Yb^{2+} ＋ 2e^- → Yb^0)$. The first reduction of Yb(Ⅲ) showed quasi reversible behavior, but the second reduction was irreversible in cyclic voltammetry. The cathodic peak current showed adsorptive properties in high concentration with lower sweep rate. The electroreduction of heavy lanthanides in water-acetonitrile mixture has been studied. In water-acetonitrile mixture, the negative shift of the peak potential and the decrease peak current were observed increasing water concentration. Also the Yb(Ⅲ) reduction to Yb(Ⅲ) has been deviated from quasi-reversible character with increase water amount. These results drive from the high solvation abilities of water which has high donor number.

A series of $N^1$-alkylnicotinamide chlorides, $N^1$-methyl-to $N^1$-dodecylnicotinamides inclusive were studied with rabbit muscle L-${\alpha}$-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase to investigate the possibility of reversible and irreversible inactivation of the pyridine-linked dehydrogenases by the coenzyme-competitive inhibitor derivatives. The inhibition of the enzyme by $N^1$-alkylnicotinamide chlorides was demonstrated to be reversible at the dilute concentration of the inhibitors but this reversible inhibition was found to be followed by an irreversible time-dependent inactivation measuable at high concentrations of the inhibitors. The properties of this time-dependent inactivation were discussed on the basis of the denaturation of the enzyme by the binding of small micelle-like structures formed at higher concentrations of the inhibitors.
