The tetradentate Schiff base ligand, 3,4-bis(salicylidene diimine) toluene, have been prepared by the reaction of salicylaldehyde with 3,4-diaminotoluene by Duff method. The Schiff base ligand reacts with Ni(II), Co(II), and Cu(II) ions to form new complexes, [Ni(o-BSDT)${\cdot}(H_2O)_2$], [Co(o-BSDT)${\cdot}(H_2O)$], and [Cu(o-BSDT)]. It seems that Ni(II) and Ni(II) complexes are hexacoordinated with the Schiff base ligand and two molecules of water, while the Cu(II) complexes are tetracoordinated with the Schiff base. The mole ratio of tetradentate Schiff base ligand to metals was found to be 1 : 1. The redox chemistry of these complexes was investigated by polarography and cyclic voltammetry with glassy carbon electrode in DMSO with 0.1M TEAP${\cdot}$[Ni(o-BSDT)${\cdot}(H_2O)_2$] hav EC reaction mechanisms which undergo a irreversible electron transfer followed by a fast chemical reaction. [Co(o-BSDT)${\cdot}(H_2O)_2$] undergoes a reduction of Co(II) to Co(I) and a oxidation of Co(II) to Co(III), and [Cu(o-BSDT)] undergoes a reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I).

The OSS2 (Oj？me-Shavitt-Singer 2)[L. Oj？me et al., J. Chem. Phys. 109, 5547 (1998)] model for the solvated proton in water is examined for $H_2O,\;H_3O^+,\;H_5O_2^+,\;H_7O_3^+,\;and\;H_9O_4^-$ by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The equilibrium molecular geometries and energies obtained from MD simulations at 5.0 and 298.15 K agree very well with the optimized calculations.

The color of textile-wastewater hindered spectrometric measurements of $H_2O_2$ and enzyme activity during enzymatic decoloring. By using ABTS, we developed a new method for measuring peroxidase activity and $H_2O_2$ concentration. The ratio of enzyme and $H_2O_2$ was optimized as 1:150 by investigating the effects of $H_2O_2$ on enzymatic decoloring. Pulse feeding of $H_2O_2$, upon depletion, significantly increased the decoloring of Congo Red.

The geometrical parameters and binding energies of the benzene ion-water complex [$C_6H_6^+-(H_2O)_n$(n=1-5)] have been investigated using ab initio (MP2) and density functional theory (DFT) with large basis sets. The harmonic vibrational frequencies and IR intensities are also determined to confirm that all the optimized geometries are true minima. Also zero-point vibrational energies have been considered to predict the binding energies. The predicted binding energy of 8.6 kcal/mol for $C_6H_6^+-(H_2O)$ at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory is in excellent agreement with recent experimental result of $8.5{\pm}1$ kcal/mol.

The inhibitory effect of the food processing agent on growth of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Enteritidis, and Listeria monocytogenes was performed with hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid, and combination of hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid. The minimun inhibitory concentration (MIC) of hydrogen peroxide in E coli O157:H7 was 100 ppm at pH 5.0, 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0, while in Listeria monocytogenes 25 ppm at PH 5.5, 6.0 and 50 ppm at PH 6.5, 75ppm at pH 7.0. MIC of lactic acid in E coli O157:H7 was 2500 ppm at pH 5.0, 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0. MIC of lactic acid in S. Enteritidis was 1250 ppm at pH 5.0, 2500 ppm at pH 5.5, 6.0, 5.5 and 7.0, while in L monocytogenes 625 ppm at pH 5.5 and 125 ppm at pH 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0. MIC of combined hydrogen Peroxide and lactic acid in E. coli O157:H7, S. Enteritidis, and L. monocytogenes was 75 ppm of hydrogen peroxide with 2500 ppm of lactic acid at pH 6.5. The correlations between MICs of hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid in E. coli O157:H7, S. Enteritidis and L. monocytogene were obtained through the coefficient of $determination(R^2)$. $R^2$ value were 0.9994, 0.9935 and 0.9283, respectively. The inhibitory effect of hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid in E. coli O157:H7, S. Enteritidis and L. monocytogenes could be confirmed from the result of this experiment. Therefore, it was expected that the food process would increase or maintain by using lactic acid together with hydrogen peroxide.

The reduction of excess activated sludge from petrochemical plant was investigated by the electro fenton (E-Fenton) process using electrogenerated hydroxyl radicals which lead to mineralization of activated sludge to $CO_2$, water and inorganic ions. Factors affecting the disintegration efficiency of excess activated sludge in E-Fenton process were examined in terms of five criteria: pH, $H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ molar ratio, current density, initial MLSS (mixed liquid suspended solids) concentration, $H_2O_2$ feeding mode. TSS total suspended solid and $TCOD_{cr}$ reduction rate increased with the increasing $H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ molar ratio and current density until 42 and $6.7 mA/cm^2$, respectively but further increase of $H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ molar ratio and current density would reduce the reduction rate. On the other hand, as expected, increasing pH and initial MLSS concentration of activated sludge decreas TSS and $TCOD_{cr}$ reduction rate. The E-Fenton process was gradually increased during first 30 minutes and then linearly proceed till 120 minutes. The optimal E-Fenton condition showed TSS reduction rate of 62~63% and $TCOD_{cr}$ (total chemical oxygen demand) reduction rate of 55~56%. Molar ratio $H_2O_2/Fe^{2+} = 42$ was determined as optimal E-Fenton condition with initial $Fe^{2+}$ dose of 5.4 mM and current density of $6.7{\sim}13.3 mA/cm^2$, initial MLSS of 7,600 mg/L and pH 2 were chosen as the most efficient E-Fenton condition.

The objective of this study was to investigate the proper operation conditions of fenton oxidation such as initial pH, $H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ ratio, $H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ dosage amount, and neutralizing agent for pretreatment of the livestock wastewater. Fenton oxidation reagents were reacted with the livestock wastewater for 2 hours at 120 rpm and the settling was performed for 2 hours using jar-tester apparatus under the different experimental conditions. And then the supernatant was sampled and measured for the residual $H_2O_2$, $COD_{Cr}$, and SS. The results are as follows; optimum initial pH=4, optimum $H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ ratio=10:1, optimum $H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ dosage amount=5,000/500 mg/L and $Ca(OH)_2$ as proper neutralizing agent. The removal efficiency of $COD_{Cr}$ and SS were 43% and 84% under those optimal fenton oxidation conditions.

최근 생물전자공학에서 의료 산업 환경 등 많은 분야에 응용 가능한 바이오센서의 연구가 활발해지고 있다. 그 중 의료 분야에서, 수소이온 ($H^+$)의 농도 감지는 인간의 질병을 예측하는데 중요한 지표가 되며 이러한 수소이온 ($H^+$) 농도의 변화를 실시간으로 감지하기 위해 반도체를 기반으로 한 다양한 pH 센서가 제안되었다. Ion sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET), electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS)는 대표적인 반도체 pH센서로, 작은 소자 크기, 견고한 구조, 빠른 응답속도와 CMOS 공정과의 호환성이 좋다는 장점이 있다. 특히, EIS는 제조공정이 간단하고 감지막의 감지 특성 평가가 용이하기 때문에 지속적으로 연구되고 있는 pH 센서이다. 센서의 감지 특성을 평가함에 있어 감지막의 감지감도와 안정성이 우수해야 하며 이를 위해 high-k 물질이 감지막으로 사용되고 있다. 추가적으로 high-k 물질은 기존의 $SiO_2$와 $Si_3N_4$를 대신하여 높은 유전상수로 인한 고성능, 고감도 센서제작을 가능케 한다. 본 연구에서는, high-k 물질인 $HfO_2$, $Ta_2O_5$, $ZrO_2$, $Al_2O_3$를 각각 $SiO_2$ 완충막에 적층한 이단 감지막을 제작하였고, 그 특성을 기존의 $SiO_2$, $Si_3N_4$ 감지막의 감지특성과 비교하였다. pH 감지 특성을 평가해 본 결과, 기존의 $SiO_2$, $Si_3N_4$ 감지막과 비교했을 때 high-k 물질의 감지막을 갖는 EIS pH 센서에서 감지감도와 안정성 모두 우수하게 나타났다. 특히, high-k 물질 중 $HfO_2$에서 감지감도가 다소 크게 평가되었으나, 화학적 용액에 대한 안정성은 떨어졌다. 반면에 $Al_2O_3$과 $Ta_2O_5$은 화학용액에 대한 안정성 측면에서 최적의 특성을 보임을 확인하였다. 결론적으로, high-k 물질에 대한 전반적인 평가를 통하여 높은 pH 감지감도뿐만 아니라 우수한 안정성의 EIS pH 센서를 제작 할 수 있었다.

The surface reactions of CO and $C_2H_4$ with adsorbed oxygen on ZnO were studied by means of EPR spectroscopy. The EPR spectra of $O_2$ adsorbed ZnO at various temperatures were compared, and the signal at g = 2.014 was characterized as trapped $O^-$ at oxygen vacancy. CO and $C_2H_4$ react with $O^-$ at $25^{\circ}C$ and desorbed as $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ above $200^{\circ}C$. $O_2^-$ species interact with $C_2H_4$ about $100^{\circ}C$, but desorption of partial oxidation products also was not observed until the temperature was raised to $200^{\circ}C$.

The treatment performance of ozonation and three types of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as $O_3/H_2O_2$, $O_3/UV$, $O_3/H_2O_2/UV$ was experimentally investigated for the treatment of refractory synthetic dye wastewater. The removal efficiency of $COD_{cr}$, color and biodegradability ($BOD_5/COD_{cr}$) were relatively evaluated in each treatment unit with simulated dye wastewater. Optimal operational conditions of pH, temperature, dosage and circulation flow rate were also investigated. All suggested processes revealed an effectiveness for the removal of color within a short operational time, moreover, $O_3/H_2O_2/UV$ process showed the highest $COD_{cr}$ removal and biodegradability enhancement among proposed oxidation process.
