Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plants have been developed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and to increase the efficiency of electricity generation. A devolatilization process of entrained coal gasification is predicted by CPD model which could describe the devolatilization behavior of rapidly heated coal based on the chemical structure of the coal. This paper is intended to compare the mass release behavior of char, tar and gas(CO, $CO_2,\;H_2O,\;CH_4$) for three different coals. The influence of coal structure on gas evolution is examined over the pressure range of 10${\sim}$30atm.

Peroxynitrite enters erythrocytes through band 3 anion exchanger and oxidizes cytosolic proteins therein. As a protein associated with band 3, carbonic anhydrase II may suffer from peroxynitrite-induced oxidative damages. Esterase activity of carbonic anhydrase II decreased as the concentration of peroxynitrite increased. Neither hydrogen peroxide nor hypochlorite affected the enzyme activity. Inactivation of the enzyme was in parallel with the release of zinc ion, which is a component of the enzyme's active site. SDS-PAGE of peroxynitrite-treated samples showed no indication of fragmentation but non-denaturing PAGE exhibited new bands with lower positive charges. Western analysis demonstrated that nitration of tyrosine residues increased with the peroxynitrite concentration but the sites of nitration could not be determined. Instead MALDI-TOF analysis identified tryptophan-245 as a site of nitration. Such modification of tryptophan residues is responsible for the decrease in tryptophan fluorescence. These results demonstrate that peroxynitrite nitrates tyrosine and tryptophan residues of carbonic anhydrase II without causing fragmentation or dimerization. The peroxynitrite-induced inactivation of the enzyme is primarily due to the release of zinc ion in the enzyme's active site.

The platelet activating factor (PAF) is a newly discovered chemical mediator, the chemical structure of which is 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. Since PAF has potent and broad activities, its pathophysiological roles have received much attention. To develope a new PAF antagonist from medicinal plants, extracts of twenty medicinal herb were screened using PAF receptor binding, $[^{14}C]$ serotonin release and platelet aggregation.

Mono-, or di-substituted chlorodicyanovinyl benzene compound was reacted with an excess amount of ethylenediamine to give corresponding imidazoline product with high reaction yield. This reaction occurs by stable imidazoline ring-forming process through nucleophilic attack of terminal amine on the enaminonitrile adduct, the reaction intermediate, toward electropositive enamine carbon, which is accompanied by the release of neutral malononitrile moiety. The similar reaction with 1,2-phenylenediamine produced stable enaminonitrile-amine adduct at lower temperature which could be cyclized intramolecularly to thermally stable benzimidazole at elevated temperature in solution or in solid state. From the difunctional compound of both reactants, poly(enaminonitrile-amine) could be prepared as a new soluble precursor polymer for well-known polybenzimidazole (PBI). The thermal cyclization reaction accompanying the release of malononitrile molecules was studied using thermalanalysis and infrared spectroscopy.

Currently chemical plant risk have been issued by occurring frequent accidents. Accidents can be generally composed of fire, explosion, release in chemical plant. In case of fire and explosion, accident victims are occurred immediately after accident but release accident, late emergency response cause damage to worker. Especially, there are many victims by late emergency response against chemical exposure to skin. In case of chemical exposure to skin, irreversible damage like death, blindness, burn can be prevented by washing immediately. Safety shower can provide the cleaning for chemical exposure to eye, skin. Most of chemical plants are built in 1980s so equipment become superannuated. In this reason, safety shower also cannot operate normally in emergency situation. Therefor safety shower should be managed by installation and management guideline. This study perform the establishment guideline for safety shower installation and inspection to increase the reliability.

Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) has been widely used as carriers in controlled release delivery systems due to its biodegradability and relatively good biocompatibility. However, Release pattern of carriers fabricated using PLGA have disadvantage an initial burst within a few days, lag time several days and then sudden release changes. To solve these problems of PLGA, we fabricated PLGA wafer including monomer. Also, drug release behavior restraint sudden burst effect using recrystallization of PLGA. Recrystallized PLGA was characterized the morphological difference by SEM and in vitro release behavior measured by HPLC. The PLGA molecular weight analyzed to recognize monomer influence during degradation process of polymer using GPC. In this study, drug release duration cut short up to three days and was eliminated the lag time based on the bulk erosion.

The chemical and toxicological studies were conducted with acetamiprid 2% granules including different controlling agents for development of controlled-release acetamiprid 2% granule. The fundamental formulation recipe of acetamiprid 2% granule was prepared by the insoluble matrix using polyethylene wax. Starch, cellulose and mineral (calcium carbonate) were used as controlling agents. As a result of studies, release rate of active ingredient from granules into water static condition at $25^{\circ}C$ was increased by addition of starch and cellulose, but was decreased by addition of calcium carbonate. We could select calcium carbonate as controlling agent and make three granules which there were difference in release profiles of active ingredient according to contents of polyethylene wax. 24 hours-release rates of acetamiprid from three granules into water static condition at $25^{\circ}C$ were respectively 75, 50 and 25% when contents of wax were 2, 10 and 20%. The granule which 24 hours-release rate was 25% showed lower acute toxicity against mice and rats.

In this work, the calcium alginate microcapsules containing lemon oil were prepared by emulsification-internal gelation and their potential use as aromatherapy was examined by the controlled release system. The lemon oil encapsulated in the alginate was successfully observed by Fourier transform (FT-IR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) measurements. Analysis of the diameters and shapes of microcapsules was conducted by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mean diameters ranging from 4 to 7 um and encapsulation yield ranging from 50 to $85\%$ were obtained. The controlled release of the lemon oil at $37^{circ}$ was demonstrated by the infrared moisture determination (IMDB). It was found that the amount of released lemon oil decreased with increasing concentrations of alginate and $CaCl_2$ due to the higher the cross-linking density of the capsules prepared. The oil release from the capsule was measured as a function of physical force. We confirmed that the external factor could control the collapse of capsule wall and the release rate.
