Schorl modified by $H_2SO_4$ has been successfully developed to enhance schorl-catalyzed Fenton-like reaction for removal of phenol in an aqueous solution. The phenol removal percentage can be increased from 4% to 100% by the system of modified schorl and $H_2O_2$. Batch experiments indicate that the percent increases in removal of phenol by increasing the dosage of catalyst, temperature and initial concentration of $H_2O_2$. The results of XRD, FT-IR and SEM suggest that no new phases are formed after removal of phenol by modified schorl. ICP-AES results reveal that more dissolution of iron results in higher catalytic oxidant activity in the system of modified schorl and $H_2O_2$. Besides minor adsorption, mineral-catalyzed Fenton-like reaction governs the process.

Solvent extraction reaction of Zn(II) by Alamine336 from strong HCl solution up to 10 M was identified by analyzing the data reported in the literature. The equilibrium constant of this reaction was estimated by considering the complex formation between zinc and chloride ion. The necessary thermodynamic parameters, such as equilibrium constant for the formation of complexes and the interaction parameters, were evaluated from the thermodynamic data reported in the literature. The following solvent extraction reaction and the equilibrium constant was obtained by considering the activity coefficients of solutes present in the aqueous phase with Bromley equation. $Zn^{2+}\;2Cl^{-}\;+\;R_3NHCl_{org}\;=\;ZnCl_3R_3NH_{org},\;K_{ex}\;=\;6.33\;{\times}\;10^2$ There was a good agreement between measured and calculated distribution coefficients of Zn(II).

Cu(II) can cause health problem for human being and phosphate is a key pollutant induces eutrophication in rivers and ponds. To remove of Cu(II) and phosphate from solution, chitosan as adsorbent was chosen and used as a form of hydrogel bead. Due to the chemical instability of hydrogel chitosan bead (HCB), the crosslinked HCB by glutaraldehyde (GA) was prepared (HCB-G). HCB-G maintained the spherical bead type at 1% HCl without a loss of chitosan. A variety of batch experiment tests were carried out to determine the removal efficiency (%), maximum uptake (Q, mg/g), and reaction rate. In the single presence of Cu(II) or phosphate, the removal efficiency was obtained to 17 and 16%, respectively. However, the removal efficiency of Cu(II) and phosphate was increased to 50~55% at a mixed solution. The maximum uptake (Q) for Cu(II) and phosphate was enhanced from 11.3 to74.4 mg/g and from 3.34 to 36.6 mg/g, respectively. While the reaction rate of Cu(II) and phosphate was almost finished within 24 and 6 h at single solution, it was not changed for Cu(II) but was retarded for phosphate at mixed solution.

A study on the removal of Pb ion from Pb-contaminated soil was carried out using ex-site extraction process. Tartaric acid (TA) and iminodiacetic acid sodium salt(IDA) as a washing agent were evaluated as a function of concentration reaction time mixing ratio of washing agent and recycling of washing agent. TA showed a better extraction performance than IDA. The optimum washing condition of TA and IDA were in the ratio of 1:15 and 1:20 between soil and acid solution during 1 hr reaction. The total concentrations of Pb ion by TA and IDA at three repeated extraction were 368.8 ppm and 267.5 ppm respectively. The recovery of Pb ion from washing solution was achieved by adding calcium hydroxide and sodium sulfide form the precipitation of lead hydroxide and lead sulfide and optimum amounts of sodium sulfide and calcium hydroxide were 7 g/$\ell$ for the TA washing solution and 4 g/$\ell$, 5g/$\ell$ for the IDA washing solution respectively. The efficiency of recycle for TA and IDA washing solution were 78.8% , 95.1%, and 89.2%, 96.6% at third extractions under $Na_2S$ and $Ca(OH)_2$, respectively.

For the remediation of the contaminated soil with heavy metals, Cd, Cr, Cu, and Pb, the reaction parameters were optimized. Tartaric acid (TA) and oxalic acid(OA) as a washing agent and recovery of metals, The optimum washing conditions of TA and OA were in the ratio of 1 : 20 between soil and acid solution during 2hr reaction under unbuffered pH solutions. At the optimized reaction conditions, the removal efficiencies were compared with that of 0.1 M HCl and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid(EDTA). TA showed higher efficiency on the removal of Pb than that of EDTA, which established for the remediation of contaminated soil with Pb and Cd metals. The recovery of metal ions from washing solution was achieved by adding calcium hydroxide and sodium sulfide by forming the precipitation of metal hydroxide and metal slfied. Optimum amounts of sodium sulgide and calcium hydroxide were Cd = 25g/$\ell$, Cu = 5~10g/$\ell$ and Pb = 5~10g/$\ell$ for the washing solution of OA and 2~5g/$\ell$ for the washing solution of TA, respectively. The amounts of $Na_2S$ and $CA(OH)_2$ for the tartaric acid was less than that of oxalic acid.

The electric current of a flow injection type enzyme-sensor was measured to confirm the stable operating conditions of the sensor. The current of the sensor was decreased as the buffer solution velocity increased. Under the limitation of the cycle time to be below 10 minutes, the effective ranges of the buffer solution velocity were suggested $0.10{\sim}0.26$, $0.12{\sim}0.24$, $0.1{\sim}0.25$ and $0.05{\sim}0.10\;cm/s$ of 1.0, 1.4, 2.4 and 3.4 mm of the electrode diameters, respectively. As the reaction time of the enzyme and the substrate was increased, the current was decreased because of the dilution between the sample and buffer solution. Therefore, it could be recommended that the reaction time was able to be selected as shortly as possible in consideration of the total cycle time. As the result of the experiments using a different volume ratio of the enzyme to substrate, it was concluded that the substrate had to be mixed with the same amount of the enzyme. The current have increased remarkably in proportion to the electrode diameter under 0.1 cm/s of the buffer solution velocity but there was no difference over 0.1 cm/s of the buffer solution velocity. The cross type arrangement of the electrode was highly suggested for application and machining of the sensor.

As one of the hydrometallurgical processes available in the recycling of silver-bearing wastes, the preparation of Ag nano-powder was investigated by a reductive precipitation reaction in silver solution using sodium formaldehydesulfoxylate and ascorbic acid as a reducing agent. Silver solution was prepared by dissolving silver nitrate with distilled water, and Tamol NN8906, PVP, SDS and caprylic acid were also used respectively as the dispersant to avoid the agglomeration of particles during the reductive reaction. Ag particles obtained from the reduction reaction from silver solution were characterized using the particle size analyzer and TEM to determine the particle size distribution and morphology. It was found that about $40\%$ excess of sodium formaldehydesulfoxylate was required to reduce completely silver ions in the solution. It alto appeared that the particle size generated with sodium formaldehydesulfoxylate was much greater than that with ascorbic acid. As far as the effect of dispersant on the Ag particles was concerned, the particle size distribution showed typically bimodal distribution in case of Tamol/FVP while very broad distribution ranged from 0.01 to $100{\mu}m$ appeared in case of SDS/caprylic acid.

The preparation of Ag nano-powder from aqueous silver nitrate solution, which would be available for the recycling of silver bearing wastes, was investigated by a reductive precipitation reaction using hydrazine hydrate as a reducing agent. Silver solution was prepared by dissolving silver nitrate with distilled water, and then the dispersant, Tamol NN8906 or Tween 20, was also mixed to avoid the agglomeration of particles during the reductive reaction followed by the addition of hydrazine hydrate to prepare Ag nano-particles. Ag particles obtained from the reduction reaction from silver solution were characterized using the particle size analyzer and TEM to determine the particle size distribution and morphology. It was found that about 100% excess of hydrazine hydrate was required to reduce completely silver ions in the solution. Ag powders with very narrow distribution could be obtained when Tamol NN8906 was used as the dispersant. In case of Tween 20, the particle size distribution showed typically the bimodal or multimodal distribution and the morphology of Ag particles was found to be irregular shape in both cases.

The surface treated hydroxypropyl methylcellulose(HPMC) which could adjust the soluble time was synthesized when 40 wt % glyoxal solution and $KH_2PO_4$ were sprayed and reacted. And also, the solution dynamic at different ratios of two adding agents were identified If the surface of HPMC was treated with only glyoxal, the dispersion characteristics at different ratios of two adding agents were identified If the surface of HPMC was treated with only glyoxal, the dispersion was observed in the neutral solution and the viscosity was increased after directly dissolved as the solution become alkali condition. But the fine-powder type of HPMC which reacted with glyoxal and $KH_2PO_4$ was dispersed regardless of pH of solution and observed that it was dissolved and its viscosity increased after elapsing some time. With increasing amount of glyoxal and $KH_2PO_4$, the soluble time was delayed. The reaction condition was about 60 min at $75{\sim}85^{\circ}C$. Especially, the removal process of organic solvent after reaction was not required due to reaction under water solution without organic during glyoxal and $KH_2PO_4$ treatment. And also, the HPMC which could adjust the soluble rate in water or organic solvent by changing the degree of substitution of HPMC was synthesized.
