In this paper, as the new type of multi-lines electrode which can formulate strong non-uniform electric field was installed in strong electrolytic water generator, shapes of pre-discharge in bubble and effects of bubble discharge on pH and oxidation/reduction potential change were intended to investigate. Consequently, as multi-lines electrode was installed in side of anode, pre-discharges generated from anode electrode could be observed. This pre-discharge was generated from differences of permittivities between bubble and water in strong non-uniform electric field. And ion concentration in electrolytic water generator was increased by dissolving of ions generated from bubble discharge. So, as generated high concentration ions were separated and assembled to each electrode and reaction of oxidation/reduction was increased, it was shown that strong electrolytic water could be generated.

Diffusion dialysis is a membrane process driven by concentration difference using ion-exchange membranes and has been employed for many years for the acid recovery from acidic waste generated in steel, metal-refining and dectro-plating industries. Theoretically acid flux increases in propomon to the acid concentration difference. At acid concentrations higher than 3 N HCl, however, the acid flux had not increased linearly with the concentration difference. In this paper the effects of acid concentrations on diffusion dialysis for hydrochloric acid recovery and the acid transport mechanism in an anion exchange membrane were studied by membrane sorption tests and diffusion clialysis cell tests. The experimental results showed that the molecular diffusion was a major transport mechanism in a low acid concentration range and the proton leakage through an anion exchange membrane played an important role at higher acid concentrations. Also osmotic water transport and membrane dehydration retarded the transport of protons and caused the permeate flux to decrease.

반도체 제조, 디스플레이 산업 등의 진공공정에서 잔류기체의 종류와 양에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 사용이 쉽고 높은 정확도를 가지는 사중극 질량 분석기(QMS)가 널리 쓰이고 있다. 특히 고진공으로 내려가면서 리크디텍션(leak detection)과 미세량의 잔류기체 감지가 더욱더 요구된다. 그중에서도 진공공정에서의 수소 가스를 감지하는 것은 매우 중요하므로 $H_2$/Ar 혼합가스를 이용하여 미세농도의 수소를 측정하였다. 측정하려는 가스를 부피확장 방법으로 가스챔버로 희석하여 이동시키고 핀홀에서 가스유량을 더 줄여서 QMS가 기체를 감지하는 압력범위를 유지하면서 측정하였다. 미세량의 수소기체를 감지하기 위해 이온소스의 emission current, Ion ref. voltage, cathode voltage의 변수를 조절하여 QMS를 최적화 하였으며, 그 결과 수십 ppm 농도까지 측정이 가능하다.

양이온 금속원소(Al)와 음이온 할로겐 원소(F) 및 수소를 다중 도핑한 ZnO 박막을 rf 마그네트론 스퍼터를 이용하여 코닝 글라스에 증착하여 도핑량과 진공중에서의 열처리에 따른 전기적 및 광학적 특성에 대하여 고찰하였다. 양이온이 할로겐 및 수소와 동시에 도핑될 시, 금속이온의 농도가 낮은 것이 TCO 박막의 전기적 특성 향상에 유리하게 작용하는 것으로 나타났으며, 동일한 F 함량에 대하여는 수소가 증가할수록 박막의 전기적 특성이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 열처리에 따른 F와 H의 거동은 반대로 나타나서, 최적의 상대적인 도핑 조성이 있음을 시사하였고, 36.2 $cm^2$/Vs의 높은 흘 이동도와 $2.9\times10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$의 낮은 비저항을 가지는 ZnO계 박막의 제조가 가능하였다.

Ion concentration polarization is an electrokinetic phenomenon which occurs in membrane systems, such as in an electrodialysis and fuel-cell system. But the phenomenon is not fully understood because hydrodynamics, electrokinetics and electrochemistry are coupled with each other. Here, we report that there occurs a change of pH value of buffer solution in concentration polarization phenomenon. To visualize the change of pH, the litmus solution which is one of the pH indicators was used. It is conjectured that the pH of solution changes because hydrogen ions were concentrated in cathodic side and hydroxide ions were concentrated in anodic side. We anticipate that this work may contribute to the fundamental understanding on the ion concentration polarization phenomenon.

Arabidopsis seedlings subjected to low pH stress in the range of pH 5.6-4.0 did not show significant retardations in root and shoot growths. Treatment of pH 3.5-2.5 resulted in significant reductions in root and shoot length, especially in roots. Chlorophyll contents in seedlings increased during acid treatment of pH 5.6-4.0, but decreased by stronger acid treatment of pH 4.0 and lower pHs. Total carotenoid contents showed similar trend to chlorophyll contents by increasing during pH 5.6-3.5 treatments and decreasing by pH 3.0-2.5. Anthocyanin contents increased under acid stress of pH 5.6-3.0 and showed great reduction at pH 2.5. The ratios of carotenoids/chlorophylls and anthocyanins/chlorophylls increased by acid stress treatments. That indicates plants try to adjust physiologically to acid stress and protect chlorophylls by increasing carotenoid and anthocyanin contents. However, different responses of chlorophylls and anthocyanins to acid stress indicate both pigments play different roles in protecting plant from acid stress.

Chlorobium liimicola f. thiosulfatophilum NCIB 8327 was grown on modified Pfennig's medium using ammonium chloride. glutamine. glutamate, or dinitrogen gas as nitrogen sources. Except for the case of dinitrogen gas. the extent of gro\\1h was almost the s~me. The specific activity of glutamine synthetase in crude extracts is the highest in the cells which were grown on the medium containing glutamate. hut that of glutamate synthase is uniform for all four nitrogen sources. When the concentration of ammonium ions increases in the reaction mixture. the specific activity of glutamine synthetase in crude extract from the cells grown on glutamate decreases. hut that of glutamate dehydrogenase increases. whereas that of glutamate synthase remains unchanged. When the concentration of methionine sulfoximine increases, the activity of glutamine synthetases decreases rapidly. On the other hand. when the concentration of ammonium ions increases in the reaction mixture gradually. the activity of glutamine synthetase from the cells grown on higher concentration of ammonium ions less decreases. In the presence of light. the activity of glutamine synthetase increases. hut in the dark it decreases gradually. The production of hydrogen in intact cells depends on light. It is inhihited by adding ammonium ions. hut restores immediately hy adding methionine sulfoximine. The produclion of hydrogen in this strain can he mediated by nitrogenase only. and regulated hy glutamine synthetase.

Rechargeable battery such as lithium-ion battery has been noticed as a kinds of the energy storage system in the recent energy utilization and widely used actually in various small electronic equipment and electric vehicles. However, many thermal runaway caused battery accidents occurred recently, which still is obstacle for advanced application of lithium ion battery. One of the main differences to general fires is the existence of ionized electrolyte with electron during combustion. Therefore, we simply simulated the ion addition effects of battery fires by introducing an ionized fuel in jet diffusion flames. When the ionized methane through a corona discharge was used as fuel, the overall flame stability and shape such as flame length showed no significant difference from normal methane flame, but NOx and CO emissions measured at the post flame region decreased. The ion addition effect of methane oxidation was also numerically simulated with the modeling of hydrogen addition in the mixture. It was confirmed that the hydrogen addition at a fixed temperature had a similar effects on ionization of methane and hence could be modeled successfully.

Ion-pair model was predominated over ion-interaction model in the retention mechanism of analytes when tetramethylammonium bromide (TMAB) was used as a counter-ion in the investigation of aromatic sulfonic acids on the reversed-phase liquid chromatography by $C_{18}$ column as a stationary phase. The capacity factors of analytes were influenced by the type and concentration of counter-ions, concentrations of methanol and co-anion, types and position of functional group, and the pH mobile phase. Components of analyte mixture could be separated under the optimum conditions by this method.

PWR 정지시 일차계통 수화학 제어의 주요대상은 계통표면에 침적된 부식생성물의 주성분인 비화학양론적 니켈(코발트)페라이트로서, 산성-환원 단계에서 용존수소에 의해 Ni$^{\circ}$ (또는 Co$^{\circ}$)로 환원되고 산성-산화 단계에서 용존산소에 의해 Ni$^{2+}$ (또는 CO$^{2+}$)로 산화되어 이온교환기에 의해 제거된다 본 연구에서는, 니켈 및 코발트 산화물의 25~300 $^{\circ}C$ 환원 또는 산화반응 시 표준자유에너지의 변화 및 용존수소 또는 용존산소의 요구농도를 계산하여, 원자로 정지시 일차계통수 용존 기체의 제어조건을 고찰하였다. 산성-환원 단계의 냉각재 온도인 300~82$^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 용존수소가 충분할 경우 열역학적으로 $^{58}$ Co(또는 $^{60}$Co)Fe$_2$O$_4$$\longrightarrow$Co의 역반응이 억제되므로서 노심외 계통부위 침적이 감소될 수 있기 때문에, 용존수소를 온도에 따라 요구농도 곡선 위로 약간 높게 유지하는 것보다 25~50 cc/kg-$H_2O$로 유지하는 방식이 바람직한 반면, 용존산소를 제공하는 과산화수소 농도가) 2.7 ppm일 때 NiFe$_2$O$_4$$\longrightarrow$Ni$_2$O$_4$(+$\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$) 반응이 일어날 수 있기 때문에, 산성-산화 단계에서는 과산화수소의 냉각재 농도를 이보다 낮게 유지하는 것이 바람직하다.
