In this study, external and internal pit growth rate model and external non-linear regression corrosion model were proposed by measuring pit depths and evaluating various soil factors known to contribute to the corrosion for metallic water pipes. Average pit depths of external and internal for metallic water pipes were measured 1.38 mm and 2.13 mm, and internal pit growth rate also fasted twice than external pit growth rate. This means the corrosion potential of water quality was higher than soil. The corelation between external corrosion rate and each soil corrosion factor was low. However, proposed external non-linear regression corrosion model considering all soil corrosion factors showed a little higher correlation ($R^2=0.46$) than conventional model.

The aquation and base hydrolysis of [Co(en)$_2$NH$_3$Cl]$^{2+}$ were studied by UV spectroscopic method in various SDS aqueous solution. The base hydrolysis of [Co(en)$_2$NH$_3$Cl]$^{2+}$ with the addition of 0, 0.05, 0.1 mol dm$^{-3}$ sodium chloride was studied. For the aquation of the complex, the rate constant in the micellar phase(kH$^M$) was a little larger than that in the aqueous phase(kH$^W$). With the increase of SDS concentration, the second order rate constant(kOH) for the base hydrolysis unchanged below the CMC and sharply decreased down to a limiting value after the CMC was reached. The effect of added NaCl on the rate behavior of the complexes in the micellar solution were investigated by using an ion-exchanged model.

Sonolysis of TCE (Trichloroethylene) was performed in 584 kHz rectangular reactor. At first, the effect of acoustic power and aqueous temperature which are both important factors to operate ultrasound system on sonolysis of TCE were examined under one side irradiation condition. First degradation rate constants of TCE and chloride yields were increased with increasing acoustic power from 100 to 300 W. And increasing the aqeuous temperature resulted in the increase of first degradation rate constants of TCE and the decrease of chloride yield. Sonolysis of TCE was performed under multi ultrasound irradiation conditions that total acoustic power of 300 W was distributed according to the number of irradiation sides. First degradation rate constants of TCE followed the order 4 sides > 3 sides > 1 side > 2 sides (parallel) > 2 sides (orthogonal). When comparing the experimental results under parallel and orthogonal irradiation conditions of 2 sides with 300 and 450 W, first degradation rate constants of TCE were similar, while production rate constants of hydrogen peroxide were more higher at parallel conditions compared to orthogonal conditions.

The rates for the aquation of $cis-[Co(en)(NH_3)_2Cl_2]Cl in acetone-water mixtures have been measured at various pressures and temperatures by the electric conductivity method. The rate constant measured at 25$^{\circ}$C in pure water solvent is 3.47 ${\times}10^{-4}$/sec. Rate constants are increased with increasing temperature, and decreased with increasing pressure and mole fraction of acetone. Activation volumes and other activation parameters are calculated from these rate constants. The activation volumes are all positive and lie in the limited range +2.82~+$8.2cm^3$/mole. The rate constants in aqueous acetone solution are analyzed with the solvent compositions. Plots of log $k_{obs}$ vs. Grunwald-Winstein Y values show that log $k_{obs}$ varies linearly and the gradients are about 0.25. The applications of a free energy cycle relating the process initial state ${\to}$ transition state in water to that in acetone-water mixture show that the changes in solvation of the transition state have a dominant effect on the rate. From these results the aquation of this complex would be discussed in terms of dissociative mechanism ($I_d$).

Sorption kinetics of hydrophobic organic compounds (chlorobenzene and phenanthrene) in natural wetland soils was investigated using laboratory batch adsorbers. One -site mass transfer model (OSMTM) and two compartment first-order kinetic model (TCFOKM) were used to analyze sorption kinetics. Analysis of OSMTM reveals that apparent sorption equilibria were obtained within 10 to 75 hours for chlorobenzene and 2 hours for phenanthrene, respectively. For chlorobenzene, the sorption equilibrium time for surface soil was longer than that of deeper soil presumably due to physico-chemical differences between the soils. For phenanthrene, however, no difference in sorption equilibrium time was observed between the soils. As expected from the number of model parameters involved, the three-parameter TCFOKM was better than the two-parameter OSMTM in describing sorption kinetics, The fraction of fast sorption ($f_1$) and the first-order sorption rate constants for fast ($k_1$)and slow ($k_2$) compartments were determined by fitting experimental data to the TCFOKM. The results of TCFOKM analysis indicate that the sorption rate constant in the fast compartment($k_1$) was much greater than that of slow fraction($k_2$) . The fraction of the fast sorption ($f_1$) and the sorption rate constant in the fast compartment($k_1$) were increasing in the order of increasing $k_{ow}$, phenanthrene > chlorobenzene. The first-order sorption rate constants in the fast ($k_1$) and slow ($k_2$) compartments were found to vary from $10^{-0.1}\;to\;-10^{1.0}$ and from $10^{-4}\;to-10^{-2}$, respectively.

In this study, we investigated the decomposition of highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide in the range of 1.04-2.55 M by transition metal ion catalysts such as $Fe^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$. The effect of metal ion concentration on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was examined experimentally, and the decomposition rate constants were determined by combining the experimental data with a theoretical approach. The rate of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was found to be first order with respect to its concentration. The decomposition rate constant was able to be treated as a linear function of the initial metal ion concentration. The validity of the decomposition rate constants determined was verified by good agreements between the calculated and experimental results.

The changes in water uptake rate, cooking properties, color of rice grains and gelatinization properties of brown and milled rices during storage were studied. The brown and milled rices were stored at $4^{\circ}$ and $25^{\circ}C$ for 5 and 3 months, respectively. The water uptake rate constants of rices during hydration at $30^{\circ}$ were linearly decreased during storage. The volume increase rate also showed similar trend to the water uptake rate. The terminal point of cooking of milled rice at $100^{\circ}$ in a sealed brass vessel was about a half of that of brown rice. The cooking rate of milled rice was 1.8 times faster than that of brown rice. The cooking rate constant of both brown and milled rices linearly decreased with the increase of storage time. The L(lightness) value increased for brown rice grain and remained unchanged for milled rice grain during storage. The peak viscosity of rice flours by amylograph increased during storage, but enthalpy for gelatinization decreased, as measured by differential scanning calorimetry.

The rate constants for the solvolysis of $trans-[Cr(en)_2Br_2]^+$ ion were determined by the spectrophotometric method in methanol-, ethanol-, acetone-, and acetonitrile-water mixtures, at 20, 25, 30, and 35$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The rate constants increased with increasing co-solvent compositions. The rate constant did not show any relation with the reciprocal of dielectric constant of the solvent-mixtures. The m values of Grunwald-Winstein equation for methanol-, ethanol-, acetonitrile-, and acetone-water mixtures are 0.109, 0.103, 0.101, and 0.095, respectively. A free energy cycle for the process from the initial state to the transition state in water and water + co-solvent mixtures shows that the change in solvation at the transition state has a dominant effect on the rate. From the above results, it is believed that the mechanism for the aquation of this complex is the Id mechanism.

Diffusion Coefficient$(D_0)$ and electrode reaction rate Constant$(K_0)$ of Co$(dimethyl bipyridine)_3(ClO_4)_2$ were determined by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. It was also investigated that the effects of solvent, concentration, and scan rate, etc. on the diffusion coefficient and the temperature effect on the rate constant. The peak currents and diffusion coefficients were dcreased as increasing the viscosity of solvent. Diffusion coefficient was $5.54{\times}10^{-6 }cm^2/sec$ and the reaction rate constant was $2.39{\times}10^{-3 }/s$ at 25$^{\circ}C$. The thermodynamic parameters such as ${\Delta}G^{\neq},\;{\Delta}H^{\neq},\;and\;{\Delta}S$ were calculated from plotting the reaction rate constants versus the solution temperatures. This compound was shown the catalytic effect on the oxygen reduction that the reduction peak current of oxygen was greatly enhanced and the peak potential was shifted to +0.2 volt.

Zebrafish(Brachdanio rerio)를 실험어류로 하여 methidathion 과 phosalone의 생물농축계수(bioconcentration factor : BCF)와 배설속도상수 (depuration rate constant) 및 LC$_{50}$를 측정하였다. Methidathion의 24, 48, 72, 96시간 LC$_{50}$는 각각 28.34, 35.98, 24.43, 22.03 mg/$\ell$로 측정되었다. Methidathion 0.22 mg/$\ell$(고농도)와 0.022 mg/$\ell$(저농도)에서 어류 체내에서의 농축정도는 두 농도군에서 각각 12시간 이후에 정류상태에 도달하여 72시간동안 거의 일정하였고, BCF값도 12시간에서 72시간 사이에 고농도와 저농도에서 8.72(n=4)와 11.25(n=4)로 조사되었다. 배설속도상수는 고농도와 저농도에서 6시간 이내에 모두 배설되어 배설속도상수를 구할 수 없었다. Phosalone의 24, 48, 72, 96시간 LC$_{50}$는 각각 3.76, 2.43, 1.86, 1.05 mg/$\ell$로 측정되었다. Zebrafish 체내에서의 농축정도와 BCF값은 고농도(0.01 mg/$\ell$)에서 12시간 이후에 정류상태에 도달하여 72시간동안 거의 일정하였고, BCF값은 12시간에서 72시간 사이에 48.88(n=4)로 측정되었다. 저농도(0.001 mg/$\ell$)에서는 실험 전기간동안 zebrafish 체내에서 phosalone이 검출되지 않아 BCF값을 산출할 수 없었다. Zebrafish 체내에서 phosalone(고농도)의 배설속도상수와 반감기를 구하기 위하여 6,12시간의 배설실험 결과 각각 0.17$hr^{-1}$과 4.01 시간이었다. Methidathion과 phosalone의 BCF값은 phosalone이 methidathion 보다 약 5배 정도 높게 나타났으며, 농약의 배설속도는 phosalone이 methidathion보다 빨랐다.
