A series of batch type adsorption experiments were performed to remove aquatic phosphorus, where the layered double hydroxide (HTAL-CI) was used as an powdered adsorbent. It showed high adsorption capacity (T-P removal: 99.9%) in the range of pH 5.5 to 8.8 in spite of providing low adsorption characteristics (pH<4). The adsorption isotherm was approximated as a modified Langmuir type equation, where the maximum adsorption amount (50.5mg-P/g) was obtained at around 80mg-P/L of phosphorus concentration. A phosphate ion can occupy three adsorption sites with a chloride ion considering the result that 1 mol of phosphate ion adsorbed corresponded to the 3 moles of chloride ion released. Although the chloride ion at less than 1,000mg-CI/L did not significantly affect the adsorption capacity of phosphate, carbonate ion inhibited the adsorption property.

Bis-(p-bromopheny)phosphate(BBPP) , which serves as flame retardant for PET fabric, was synthesized from phenol and phosphorus oxychloride, and from bromine. In order to investigate the flame retardancy of BBPP, PET fabrics were steam-cured with diluted BBPP solution. The following conclusions were drawn : 1. Flame retardancy of PET fabrics treated with BBPP was excellent, and optimal treating condition was 10% concentration of flame retardant at $170^{\circ]C$ 2. Clark softness and tensile strength before and after the laundering of PET fabrics treated with flame retardant remained nearly unchanged.

Tri-cresyl phosphate(TCP) was synthesized by reaction of phosphorus chloride with mixed cresol(mixture of m-cresol, p-cresol, and others) in the presence of $AlCl_3$. Some of unwanted products and unreactants colored TCP. In order to separate TCP from these, vaccume distillation was carried twice, but colorless TCP could not be producted. Separation of unwanted materials by 2% NaOH solution was introduced before first and second distillation and optimal separation conditions such as NaOH concentration, mixing volume ratio, mixing time, and rpm were investigated for new batch separation and production of colorless TCP Optimal conditions were 2% NaOH solution, 35% mixing volume ratio of 2% NaOH solution, 1.5 hours of mixing time, and 20 rpm.

The synergy effect of trisodium phosphate (TSP) and ethanol against murine norovirus 1 (MNV-1), as a surrogate for human noroviruses, on fresh produces was evaluated. More than 2% (w/v) of TSP effectively inactivated MNV-1. The single treatment of 1% TSP or 30% ethanol for 30 min was not effective on MNV-1; however, cotreatment showed inactivation of MNV-1 on stainless steel and the produces of lettuce and bell pepper under 15 min. The results suggest that cotreatment of TSP and ethanol at a low concentration and a short time of exposure might be useful for the reduction of norovirus in some produce.

This study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility and characteristics of poly acrylamide (PAA) immobilized sludge as a microbial entrapment bead for wastewater treatment. In the PAA method of immobilized sludge, it was found that the optimum acrylamide concentration for actual wastewater treatment was to be 12%. When the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was operated during 30 days, removal efficiencies of TOC and phosphate was 95% and 70ft, respectively. From this research, repeated cycle of anaerobic and aerobic conditions is required to enhance the removal of TOC and phosphate. During the operation, immobilized cells could be used without being disrupted.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tooth whitening and properties of an enamel surface after treatments with tooth bleaching agents that contained dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) and hydrogen peroxide (HP). Thirty specimens were obtained from fifteen premolar and were randomly divided into three groups (n=10): 1, 3.5% HP + 0 g DCPD; 2, 3.5% HP + 0.1 g DCPD; 3. 3.5% HP + 1 g DCPD. All groups were bleached 8 hours per day for 14 days. With increasing DCPD concentration, the pH values in the agents increased, making it less acidic. However, there was no statistically significant difference (p>.05). As the concentration of DCPD was increased, the concentration of Ca and P was also increased. In all groups, after the tooth whitening, the tooth color was found to have a value of $L^*$ (p<.05). All groups showed significantly decreased enamel microhardness compared to their baseline (p<.05). The percentage microhardness loss (PML) of the group A1 and A2 were significantly lower than that of group A3. The obvious variation of morphology was observed on enamel surfaces in group A1. Following an analysis of the constituents of enamel surface after bleaching, as DCPD content was increased, the amount of Ca and P was increased. In this study, the experimental results suggest that DCPD/HP agent less demineralization changes such as the erosion morphology and hardness loss without compromising whitening efficiency.

$H^+-ATPase$ located on plasma and vacuolar membranes play major roles in various cellular physiological processes. In order to investigate the physiological roles of $H^+-ATPase$, microsomes were prepared from tomato roots and the effects of various anions were measured on the activities of $H^+-ATPase$. $H^+-ATPase$ was inhibited by various anions. Citrate and phosphate were chosen to investigate detailed inhibitory mechanisms on $H^+-ATPase$ since they showed different levels of inhibition. Inhibitory effect of citrate was observed at the concentrations above 3 mM. When 20 mM citrate was added, the ATPase activity was decreased by 50-60%. However, the inhibitory effect of citrate was decreased by increasing the concentration of$Mg^{2+}$ The citrate-induced inhibited activity was recovered by the addition of $Mg^{2+}$ Addition of 7 mM $Mg^{2+}$ completely removed the inhibitory effect of citrate and the activity recovered to the level of the control experiment. These results imply that citrate chelates $Mg^{2+}$ and thus inhibits $H^+-ATPase$. Meanwhile, the inhibitory effect of phosphate was observed at the concentration above 3 mM and the activity was decreased by 50% in the presence of 30 mM phosphate. Further addition of $Mg^{2+}$ showed no recovery on the activity. These results imply that the inhibitory effect of phosphate is not dependent upon the concentration of $Mg^{2+}$.

This study was performed to estimate the water quality parameters on corrosion such as pH, turbidity, Fe released concentration, corrosion rate by using batch reactor for corrosion control of phosphate corrosion inhibitor in carbon steel pipes. The pH, conductivity, alkalinity, and Ca hardness showed a slight change for dosing the phosphate corrosion inhibitor with carbon steel pipe in batch reactor. The turbidity was about ten times lower with 5 mg $P_2O_5/L$ of the corrosion inhibitor than that without. The Fe released concentration and corrosion rate was decreased by about 12.2, 24 times with 5 mg $P_2O_5/L$ of the corrosion inhibitor than that without. In conclusion, the optimum concentration of the phosphate corrosion inhibitor was found to be 5 mg $P_2O_5/L$. The effect of the corrosion inhibitor was significant for the carbon steel plate samples tested in this study. The corrosion inhibitor can be an effective cure for corrosion and red water problem preventing the service pipe from further corrosion.

The production of a glucan was affected by the concentration of ions and buffer solutions, and nutrients in an oral cavity. In this study, the effects of ions and buffer solutions on the mRNA expression of gtfD gene in Streptococcus mutans, an important causative agent of dental caries, were investigated by Fluorescent in situ hybridization(FISH). At first, ions and buffer solutions had little effect on the multiplication of Streptococcus mutans. The green fluorescence according to the mRNA expression of gtfD gene was detected in the BHI broth containing 1% sucrose. The intensities of the green fluorescence were strong at 0.25mM of $CaCl_2$. Little fluorescence was detected by the addition of KCl, except far 10mM KCl at which fluorescence intensities were similar to those of the control. Fluorescence intensities were weak at each concentration of $MgCl_2$ when compared to the control. As for buffer solutions, fluorescence intensities were similar to those of the control at each concentration of buffer solutions, except that they were little detected at 100mM of potassium phosphate.

The critical examination of the spectrophotometric method for determining microgram quantities of phosphate by the n-butyl acetate extraction as molybdophosphoric acid and subsequent development of the molybdenum blue has been made. In this procedure from 2 to 8 ${\mu}g$. of phosphate-phosphorus can be determined under optimum conditions. The final concentration of ammonium molybdate and the final acidity of perchloric acid for the formation of heteropoly acid are suitable to be ranges of 0.5 to 1.1% and 0. 5 to 1. 1 N respectively, and subsequently extracted with 10 ml. of n-butyl acetate. The extract is developed to molybdenum blue with 5.0 ml. of 1. 3% stannous chloride in 1N hydrochloric acid. The color is stable for at least one hour in the use of perchloric acid for the condensation. In order to determination of submicrogram amounts of phosphate, the sensitivity of the molybdenum blue method is hardly sufficient, a sensitive and stable molybdenum(V)-thiocyanate complex method has been investigated. By the procedure less than 1.2 ${\mu}g$. of phosphate-phosphorus can be determined with an accuracy of less than 5% the relative error. The molybdenum(Ⅵ) extracted by the above procedure is reduced to molybdenum(V) in the extract directly with a solution of 4 to 10% of stannous chloride, 0.5 to 1.5 mM of copper, and 0.1 to 0.9 N of perchloric acid as final concentration in 4.3 to 6.3 N of hydrochloric acid or 9.0 to 13.0 N of sulfuric acid by heating for one minute in boiling water, after cooling, the molybdenum(V)-thiocyanate complex color is developed by adding 6.0 M ammonium thiocyanate solution making the final concentration to be in a range of 0.4 to 0.9 M. This procedure the very sensitive, reliable, and stable can be applied to determining submicrogram amounts of phosphate in natural waters with a precision of 1.6 ${\times}\;10^{-2}$ the standard deviation as absorbance.
