Eight ionizable nano-baskets of cone 25,26-di(carboxymethoxy)calix[4]arene-crown-3,4,5,6 were synthesized and were verified by $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The competitive solvent extractions of alkali and alkaline earth metal cations were studied using such nano-baskets. The novelty of this study is including three binding units of calixarene's bowl, crown ether's ring and electron-donor ionizable moieties in a unique scaffold to assess the binding tendency towards the cations. The objective of this work is to study the extraction efficiency, selectivity and $pH_{1/2}$ of such complexes. The result of solvent extraction experiments indicated that these compounds were effective extractants of alkali and alkaline earth metal cations. Their selectivities were greatly influenced by the acidity of solution and the conformations of the calixcrown. One conformer was selective to $Na^+$ in pH ${\geq}$ 4, while the other was highly selective to $Ba^{2+}$ in pH 6 and upper.

Fundamental studies were carried out for an effective removal and recovery of silver from waste photo-developing solution by solvent extraction. The organic solvents examined for silver-extraction were ALIQUAT 336, D2EHPA, KELEX 100, and TBP. ALIQUAT 336, which is an anionic exchanger, was found to be efficient for the extraction of silver and the reason for this was considered to be due to the chloride ion contained in its structure. The extent of silver extraction was examined to increase with the concentration of ALIQUAT 336 until it reached 0.6 M and no more extraction was observed above this concentration. The extraction of silver by ALIQUAT 336 was found to reach its pseudo-equilibrium within a few minutes after the reaction started and additional slight increase in silver extraction was observed until 30 minutes of reaction time. The observed differences in silver extraction for artificial and actual waste solutions were considered to be based upon the different ionic form of silver-containing species in these solutions.

The physiologically relevant functional properties of various solvent extracts from Salicornia herbacea leaves were investigated by measuring lipid peroxidation, DPPH radical scavenging, nitrite scavenging, and xanthine oxidase inhibition. Ethyl ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions obtained from the 80% aqueous ethanol extracts of Salicornia herbacea leaves showed strong antioxidative activities in linoleic acid methyl esters. Peroxide values (POV) were not significantly different among the samples treated with the different fractions; the incubation time required to reach a peroxide value of 80 meq/kg was about 40 hrs. However, control linoleic acid methyl esters had POV of more than 480 meq/kg after 40 hrs. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the ethyl acetate fraction was much more effective than diethyl ether, n-butanol, chloroform and water fractions, with an $IC_{50}$/ of 279 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL, but less effective than ascorbic acid ($IC_{50}$/ : 67 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL). The nitrite scavenging activities of all fractions increased as pH decreased. Among the fractions, nitrite scavenging activities of diethyl ether and ethyl acetate fractions at pH 1.2 were highest at 59.0 and 56.2%, respectively. The diethyl ether fraction obtained from the 80% aqueous ethanol extract of Salicornia herbacea loaves was the most effective inhibitor of xanthine oxidase of all the solvent extracts at 84% inhibition for a 1 mg/mL concentration. These results suggest that Salicornia herbacea leaf extracts may be effective antioxidants, not only in food stability, but also in human health.

As a search for natural antioxidants, antioxdative fractions in Pueraria roots were extracted, identified using column chromatography, thin layer chromatography or high performance liquid chromatography. The components which have most effective antioxidative activities were further identified by IR and GC-MS. Separated antioxidative components were then added to four different oils to examine their antioxidative activities. Yield of extract obtained from pueraria root powder by solvent extraction using four step solvent systems was 2.54%. Antioxidative activity of the extracts was as effective as that of 100 ppm ${\delta}$-tocopherol addition, when 0.1% of the extracts was added to linoleic acid. The strongest antioxidative component of methanol extract of pueraria root was identified as puerarin. Aunioxidative activity of puerarin on lard was more effective than ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, but less effective than ${\delta}$-tocopherol. When the puerarin was added to edible oil and heat treated at $145^{\circ}C$, the acid value was lowest in lard and was highest in soybean oil. Antioxidative activity in terms of carbonyl value, thiobarbituric acid value and anisidine value was most high in palm oil and least in soybean and cottonseed oil.

Phase behavior of the ternary systems of water-insoluble simvastatin drug, which is well known to be effective drugs for hypercholesterolemia therapy, in solvent mixtures of dichloromethane and supercritical carbon dioxide was investigated to present a guideline of establishing operating conditions in the particle formation of the drugs by a supercritical anti-solvent recrystallization process utilizing dichloromethane as a solvent and carbon dioxide as an anti-solvent. The solubilities of simvastatin in the mixtures of dichloromethane and carbon dioxide were determined as functions of temperature, pressure and solvent composition by measuring the cloud points of the ternary mixtures at various conditions using a high-pressure phase equilibrium apparatus equipped with a variable-volume view cell. The solubility of the drug increased as the dichloromethane composition in solution and the system pressure increases at a fixed temperature. A lower solubility of the drug was obtained at a higher temperature. The second half of this work is focused on the particle formation of the simvastatin drug by a supercritical anti-solvent recrystallization process in a cylindrical high-pressure vessel equipped with an impeller. Microparticles of the simvastatin drug were prepared as functions of pressure (8 MPa to 12 MPa), temperature (303.15 K, 313,15 K), feed flow rate of carbon dioxide, and stirring speed (up to 3000 rpm), in order to observe the effect of those process parameters on the size and shape of the drug microparticles recrystallized.

This study was designed to investigate the role of onion as a natural antioxidant. Onion was distinguished as yellow onion peel and onion flesh. Onion samples were extracted with 5 different kinds of solvents such as water, 70% ethanol, 99.9%ethanol, 99.9% methanol, and 96% butanol in order to select optimal extraction solvents, In this part of study linoleic acid was used s an model system for the purpose of determining the antioxidant activities. The optimal extraction rate of various solvents containing onion samples was determined by measuring extraction yield, electron donating ability(EDA), thiobarbituric acid(TBA), and thiocyanate, which are common methods for measuring activity. As a result 70% ethanol was shown as the most effective solvent.

$\beta$-cyclodextrin adsorption and saponification methods were applied to isolate and purify cholesterol from the by-product of the low-cholesterol egg yolk product. They by-product was prepared from processing low-cholesterol egg yolk followed by extracting with chloroform to remove $\beta$-cyclodextrin and concentrated to 3,069 mg% cholesterol. When $\beta$-cyclodextrin method between two purification methods was applied, 50% ethanol as a solvent showed higher cholesterol concentration of 5.82% rather than the other solvents. Repeated purification of 3 times could not improve the cholesterol concentration significantly(p<0.05). In case of purification using saponification method, hexane as a solvent for extraction of unsaponificated materials was more efficient to increase cholesterol concentration than chloroform and ether. 60 times(v/w) saponification solution (95% ethanol:33% KOH = 94:6) of sample weight was most effective to increase the cholesterol concentration of 35.7%. Repeated purification process by saponification method could increase cholesterol concentration to 95.7% by 4 times repetition.
