Assuming krypton molecules adsorbed on the graphite surface as a two-dimensional (2D) gas, 4th virial coefficient of the virial equation is calculated by the use of cluster integrals. The Henry's law constant, and 2nd and 3rd virial coefficients are also calculated. Adsorption isotherms calculated from this virial equation agree very satisfactorily with experimental results. The interaction energy of Kr-graphite surface is calculated assuming the pairwise additivity of Lennard-Jones(12,6) potential, and parametars therein are taken as; ${\varepsilon}_{gs}$/k = 71.1 K, ${\varepsilon}_{gg}$/k = 170 K, ${\sigma}_{gs}$ = 354 pm, and ${\sigma}_{gg}$ = 368 pm.

The solubility of H2S is an important parameter for modeling H2S absorption. Since the direct measurement of H2S solubility in aqueous amine solutions is impossible, this work initially attempted to develop an H2S analogy method, however, this was unsuccessful. Consequently, H2S solubilities were measured in aqueous amines which were completely protonated with HCI over a temperature range of 25-60℃. The solvents investigated in this work included 0-50% aqueous solutions of methyldiethanolamine and diethanolamine. Thereafter, a new empirical correlation was developed that can predict Henry's constant for H2S using only the solubility of H2S in water and t도 molecular weight of the aqueous solvent.

The emission sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are wastewater treatment plants. sanitary landfills, automobile industries, and so on. The VOCs are harmful to human beings because of their toxicity and carcinogenicity, and cause the serious air pollution problem producing ozone ($O_3$) as a result of photochemical reaction. To investigate the emission of VOCs from wastewater treatment plant, aeration basins at the City of Los Angeles' Hyperion Treatment Plant were selected and measured flux was compared with calculated flux. For compounds commonly associated with wastewater (DCM, TCM, PCE, UM, DCB, UND) and not expected in vehicle exhaust or ambient air coming off the ocean, concentrations immediately downwind of the aeration basins were a factor of ten or higher than those measured in the upwind air. The airborne flux of less degradable or non-biodegradable compounds, e.g., DCE, DCM, TCA, DCA, TCM, PCE, DCB, through an imaginary plane at the downwind side of the aeration basins was in agreement with the estimated flux from measured liquid phase concentrations. Henry's constant. aeration rate, and an assumption of bubble saturation. For several compounds (PCE, DCE, TCA), the ratio (measured flux/calculated flux) is almost unity.

A simulation study for finding purity changes of extract and raffinate as well as the best purity of (S)-ketoprofen in simulated moving bed (SMB) was performed with changing parameters of $m_2$ and $m_3$ from triangle theory. Aspen simulator allowed separation process simulation of (R)- and (S)-ketoprofen in SMB and compared 4-bed SMB and 8-bed SMB based on the same Henry constant and mass transfer coefficient. The 4-bed SMB consisted of 4 columns (200 mm of length, 10 mm of diameter) and the 8-bed SMB constructed by 8 columns (100 mm of length, 10 mm of diameter), and therefore total column length was made the same as 800 mm. Considering purities of both (R)-and (S)-ketoprofen, both 4-bed SMB and 8-bed SMB had the best purity when $m_2$ and $m_3$ were on 12.0 and 13.0 in the center of triangle. Taking only (S)-ketoprofen into account, 4-bed SMB as well as 8-bed SMB had the best purity when $m_2$ and $m_3$ were on 10.9 and 12.6 in the left outside triangle, and their purities were 93.3 % for 4-bed SMB and 96.9 % for 8-bed SMB.

Assuming krypton molecules adsorbed on graphite surface as 2D gas, the interaction energy of Kr-graphite and the Henry's constant are calculated analytically by the Fourier series expansion method. 2D virial cofficients, $B_{2D}$ and $C_{2D}$, are also calculated to obtain 2D equation of state, and hence adsorption isotherms. The isotherms so obtained are compared with experimental results reported by Putnam and Fort. The pairwise additivity of Lennard-Jones(12, 6) interaction energy is also assumed, and parameters therein are taken as; ${\varepsilon}_{gs}$/k = 70 K, ${\sigma}_{gs}$ = 0.35 nm, ${\varepsilon}_{gg}$/k = 170 K, and ${\sigma}_{gg}$ = 0.37 nm.

This study is related to the investigation of the characteristics of quaternary ammonium salt catalyst on the addition reaction of carbon dioxide and glycidyl methacrylate(GMA) to form(2-oxo-1,3-dioxolane-4-yl)methacrylate(DOMA). Among the salts tested, the ones with higher alkyl chain length and with more nucleophilic counter anion showed a higher catalytic activity. Mixed catalysts of NaI and 18-crown-6 showed a good yield of DOMA, but when they are used alone, they showed no catalytic activity. The DOMA monomer was obtained in low polar solvents, while poly(DOMA) could be directly synthesized in aprotic dipolar solvents. Kinetic studies carried out by measuring $CO_2$ pressure in a high pressure batch reactor showed that the reaction rate was first order to the concentration of GMA and $CO_2$ respectively. The rate constant(k) was 0.56L/mol hr and Henry's constant(H') of $CO_2$ in diglyme at $80^{\circ}C$ was $6.5{\times}10^{-4}mol/L{\cdot}kPa$.

This study is related to the investigation of the direct incorporation of $CO_2$ to polymer using quaternary ammonium salt catalysts. Quaternary ammonium salts showed good catalytic activity of $CO_2$ fixation in the synthesis of poly[(1,3-dioxolane-2-oxo-4-yl)methyl methacrylate] [poly(DOMA)] by the direct incorporation of $CO_2$ to poly(glycidyl methacrylate)[poly(GMA)]. Among the salts tested, the ones with higher alkyl chain length and with more nucleophilic counter anion showed higher catalytic activity. The yield of carbon dioxide addition increased with the reaction temperature. Kinetic study was carried out by measuring the variation of $CO_2$, pressure in a high pressure batch reactor. The reaction rate was first order to the concentration of poly(GMA) and $CO_2$, respectively. The rate constant was $0.69L/mol{\cdot}h$ and Henry's constant of $CO_2$ in DMSO at $80^{\circ}C$ was $6.8{\times}10^{-4}mol/L{\cdot}KPa$.

The fumigant 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) was recently proposed as a direct replacement for methyl bromide ($CH_3Br$) in soil fumigation. This study was conducted to better understand behavior phase partitioning, diffusion and volatilization of 1,3-D as affected by isomer. The Henry's law constant(KH) of cis-1,3-D and trans-1,3-D was 0.058 and 0.037 at $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. $K_H$ of cis form of 1,3-D was higher than that of trans form of 1,3-D. To compare with volatilization of 1,3-D isomer, soil column [70 cm (length)${\times}$12 cm (i.d.)] included a shank injection at 30 cm with 300 kg $ha^{-1}$. Maximum cis-1,3-D and trans-1,3-D concentration reached 57 mg $L^{-1}$ and 39 mg $L^{-1}$ at 30 cm depth at 1h after application. Cumulatively, after 10 days, 51.8% and 43.57% of applied cis-1,3-D and trans-1,3-D was emitted via volatilization, respectively. The total losses of cis-1,3-D were significantly greater than that of trans-1,3-D. Finally, cis-1,3-D and trans-1,3-D, such as isomer are dominant of 1,3-D fates in soil.

The effects of the operating conditions in AFC single cells have not been studied in detail. In this study, by using a one-dimensional isothermal model a computational simulation was conducted to investigate the effects of the initial electrolyte concentration and the operating gas pressure. According to the result, the optimum electrolyte concentration at the base-case was found to be within $3.0\~3.5$ M. The variation of the cell performance according to the electrolyte concentration was found to be caused mainly by the charge transfer resistances of both electrodes, Henry's constant and the liquid phase diffusivity of the dissolved gases. It was also found that an increase in operating pressure increased the reaction rates and the solubilities of the gases, which led to a considerable enhancement of the cell performance.

The objective of this study was to develop and assess a method for estimating the rain scavenging ratios (RSRs) of particle-bound PAHs and PCBs using measured scavenging ratio of particulate matters (PM) and routinely available data of physico-chemical properties of PM. Paired atmospheric and rainwater sampling was conducted for a total of 4 rain events. Assuming equilibrium partitioning in rainwater-gas-PM system, an equation was derived for estimating the RSR of particle-bound chemicals as a function of RSR of PM and three equilibrium partition constants (i.e. dimensionless Henry's law constant, gas-particle partition coefficient, and water-particle partition coefficient). For all PAHs, the model significantly under-predicted the RSR while the model prediction for PCBs agreed with observation mostly within a factor of 5. The RSR model for the chemicals is of limited use as its accuracy critically depends on how close the observed partitioning of the chemicals in the gas-PM-rainwater system is to that estimated under the equilibrium assumption.
