As well as arising the concern about pesticides known as a Carcinogenic or endocrine disorder substrates, magnitude was increased of reducing pesticides in soil or water. In this work, removals of residual pesticides on surface of solid phase were attempted by the photooxidation process with hydrogen peroxide. The optimum conditions for the removals of benomyl (carbamatic pesticide) chlorothalonil (Organochoric pesticide) were 350nm UV wavelegth and 20% (v/v) hydrogen peroxide solution as oxidant. Removals are negligible when UV radiation or the supply of hydrogen peroxide are solely applied on the target compoounds. Removal rates of the pesticides are accelerated by UV radiation with hydrogen addition. After 20 min of the treatment, about $2{\mu}g/cm^2$ of benomyl and $1,88{\mu}g/cm^2$ of chlorothalonil were disappeared on the surface of the solid phase.

This study was conducted to evaluate the degradation and mineralization of PPCPs (Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products) using a CBD(Collimated Beam Device) of UV/H₂O₂ advanced oxidation process. The decomposition rate of each substance was regarded as the first reaction rate to the ultraviolet irradiation dose. The decomposition rate constants for PPCPs were determined by the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet irradiation intensity. If the decomposition rate constant is large, the PPCPs concentration decreases rapidly. According to the decomposition rate constant, chlortetracycline and sulfamethoxazole are expected to be sufficiently removed by UV irradiation only without the addition of hydrogen peroxide. In the case of carbamazepine, however, very high UV dose was required in the absence of hydrogen peroxide. Other PPCPs required an appropriate concentration of hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet irradiation intensity. The UV dose required to remove 90% of each PPCPs using the degradation rate constant can be calculated according to the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in each sample. Using this reaction rate, the optimum UV dose and hydrogen peroxide concentration for achieving the target removal rate can be obtained by the target PPCPs and water properties. It can be a necessary data to establish design and operating conditions such as UV lamp type, quantity and hydrogen peroxide concentration depending on the residence time for the most economical operation.

Alkaline Peroxide Mechanical Pulping (APMP) of Pinus densiflora harvested from domestic mountains was explored. APMP contributes to various advantages including pulp quality, elimination of the need for a bleaching process, and energy savings. Sequential treatment of impregnation of bleaching chemicals and refining not only overcome the concern of alkaline darkening of wood chips during chemical impregnation, but it also brightens the chips to the desired brightness levels suitable for writing and printing papers. APMP pulping from Pinus densiflora was greatly influenced by the dosage levels of hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide. Alkaline peroxide treatment was carried out by applying one of three levels of hydrogen peroxide (1.5, 3, and 4.5% based on the oven-dried weight of the wood chips) and one of three levels of sodium hydroxide (1.5, 3, and 4.5% based on the oven-dried weight of the wood chips). Other chemicals including a peroxide stabilizers and metal chelation were constantly added for all treatments. Chemical treatment with a liquor-to-wood ration of 9:1 was carried out in a laboratory digestor. Compared to BTMP, APMP pulping displayed outstanding characteristics including the less requirement of refining energy, the better improvement of tensile strength, the more reduction of shives, and the greater increase of pulp brightness. In particular, when 4.5% of hydrogen peroxide with impregnation during 90 minutes was used, the brightness of APMP reached 64.9% ISO. Even though bulk of APMP was decreased with the increase of sodium hydroxide, a better and improved balance could be achieved between optical and strength properties. The spent liquor obtained from the discharge of the impregnation process at the dosage level of 4.5% hydrogen peroxide exhibited an equal level of residual peroxide with BTMP. In conclusion, APMP pulping showed successful results with Pinus densiflora due to its better response to the development of optical and physical properties compared to TMP pulping.

Nowadays, the bleaching techniques of thermomechanical pulp(TMP) are fast developing on the strength of some benefits, mainly on low production cost and good fiber property. In this study, the optimum concentration of bleaching chemicals and the environmental load of bleaching wastes were considered to improve the bleaching efficiency of thermomechanical pulp using Korean redpine(Pinus densiflora) under the peroxide-based bleaching system. The optical property of TMP after bleaching was planned to use higher grade of paper, like printing & writting paper, not general newspaper. The concentration of bleaching chemicals, NaOH, $Na_2SiO_3$ and EDTA, in hydrogen peroxide bleaching system, on the basis of O.D. pulp was closely influenced on the improvement of TMP brightness. Final target of bleaching efficiency was set up to above 76%-ISO brightness. The optimal target brightness of Korean redpine TMP was reached to 76.45%-ISO under the conditions of $H_2O_2$ 7% with NaOH 2.20%, $Na_2SiO_3$ 0.63% and EDTA 0.02%. The concentration of NaOH, $Na_2SiO_3$ and EDTA was correlated functional to the residual peroxide content of wastewater, pH value and electric conductivity of TMP fibers after bleaching treatment. The optimal bleaching conditions by controlling the addition amount of chemicals were positively contributed to the brightness stabilization and environmental load of TMP.

The purpose of the review article was to summarize and discuss the available information concerning the effect of bleaching on human teeth and reduced treatment on negative influence. Tooth bleaching effect was differ from extent of concentration and application period of a tooth bleaching agent, certainly full knowledge prior treatment about adverse effect possible appearance and follow clinical treatment for the least reduce. It remains unclear in how far those observation may result in significant adverse effect under clinical conditions. Nevertheless, further investigation are necessary to elucidate these aspect more precisely. The findings of the study were as follows : 1. It is recommended to delay placement of restorations after termination of bleaching therapy for at least 1-3 weeks. 2. Reduced negative influence that is clinical feasibility of catalase in protecting bleached surface against Oxygen radical. 3. The residual peroxide in tooth after bleaching seems to be removed by gradual diffusion and it may be possible to eliminate the adverse effect on tooth by using water displacement solution, ethylalcohol and aceton including it for effective removal of free radical oxygen.

Metal thin films, which are indispensable constituents of ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration) circuits, have been fabricated by physical or chemical methods. However, these methods have a drawback of using expensive high vacuum instruments. In this work, the fabrication of tungsten metal film by spin coating was investigated. First of all, inorganic peroxopolytungstic acid (W-IPA) powder, which is soluble in water, was prepared by dissolving metal tungsten in hydrogen peroxide and by evaporating residual solvent. Then, the solution of W-IPA was mixed with organic solvent, which was spin-coated on wafers. And then, tungsten metal films, were obtained after reduction procedure. By selecting an appropriate organic solvent and irradiating UV, the sheet resistance of the tungsten metal film could be remarkably reduced.

The objective of this study was to determine the antioxidant and antimicrobial effects of garlic juice and onion juice in emulsified sausage during cold storage. The sausages were into five groups: control, 1% garlic juice (T1), 3% garlic juice (T2), 1% onion juice (T3), and 3% onion juice (T4). Each sausage type was tested in triplicate and assigned to one of four storage periods: 0, 7, 14 and 21 days. As storage time increased, the presence of garlic juice and onion juice resulted in decreased pH, residual nitrite value, and increased peroxide value, TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance) values, and total plate counts. The pH value, peroxide value, TBARS, residual nitrite and total plate counts were significantly decreased by the addition of garlic and onion juice relative to the control (p<0.05). Especially, T2 was significantly (p<0.05) more effective in delaying lipid oxidation compared to the other treatment groups. However, no significant difference (p<0.05) was found in total plate counts among all the formulations on day 0. Also, the use of garlic juice resulted in much better antioxidant and antimicrobial effects than the use of onion juice and the control. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the addition of 3% garlic juice (T2) to emulsified sausages tended to improve antioxidative and antimicrobial effects during storage relative to the other treatment groups.

BACKGROUND: Persistent organic contaminants such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) are often found in agricultural soils decades after it was banned in Korea. This study uses hemoglobin and hemoglobin-containing blood meal to reduce the residual DDT in soil. METHODS AND RESULTS: Hemoglobin or blood meal with or without hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) was mixed with the DDT-spiked soil prepared for this study, and samples were taken over 14 d-degradation period to measure the residual DDT concentrations. With only hemoglobin, DDT was completely removed after 14 d, while with both hemoglobin and H₂O₂, 73%, on average, removal was observed. Similarly, the blood meal removed 73% of DDT, but with H₂O₂, the DDT removal was only 39%. The lower DDT removal in the presence of H₂O₂ can be attributed to the adverse effects of reactive species. Hemoglobin was more effective than blood meal for DDT removal in a given time; however, with additional blood meal injection, complete DDT removal was achieved. CONCLUSION: Overall, this study shows that the blood meal that is used as a fertilizer can potentially be used to remove residual contaminants such as DDT in agricultural soil.

Objectives: Hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) surface treatment of fiber posts has been reported to increase bond strength of fiber posts to resin cements. However, residual oxygen radicals might jeopardize the bonding procedure. This study examined the effect of three antioxidant agents on the bond strength of fiber posts to conventional and self-adhesive resin cements. Materials and Methods: Post spaces were prepared in forty human maxillary second premolars. Posts were divided into five groups of 8 each: G1 (control), no pre-treatment; G2, 10% $H_2O_2$ pre-treatment; G3, G4 and G5. After $H_2O_2$ application, Hesperidin (HES), Sodium Ascorbate (SA) or Rosmarinic acid (RA) was applied on each group respectively. In each group four posts were cemented with Duo-Link conventional resin cement and the others with self-adhesive BisCem cement. Push-out test was performed and data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA and tukey's post-hoc test (${\alpha}=0.05$). Results: There was a statistically significant interaction between the cement type and post surface treatment on push-out bond strength of fiber posts (p < 0.001, F = 16). Also it was shown that different posts' surface treatments significantly affect the push-out bond strength of fiber posts (p = 0.001). $H_2O_2$ treated posts (G2) and control posts (G1) cemented with Duo-link showed the highest ($15.96{\pm}5.07MPa$) and lowest bond strengths ($6.79{\pm}3.94$) respectively. Conclusions: It was concluded that $H_2O_2$ surface treatment might enhance the bond strength of fiber posts cemented with conventional resin cements. The effect of antioxidants as post's surface treatment agents depends on the characteristics of resin cements used for bonding procedure.

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) have been interested for removing micropollutants in water. Most of water treatment plants (WTPs) located along the lower part of Nakdong River have adopted the $O_3/BAC$ process and have interesting in peroxone process a kind of AOP. This study evaluated the removal characteristics of residual hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) combining with the biofiltration process in the next BAC process when the hydrogen peroxide is applied for the WTP operating $O_3/BAC$ process. In the experiment, changing the temperature and the concentration of $H_2O_2$ of influent, the biofiltration process showed rapidly dropped the biodegradability when the $H_2O_2$ concentration was increased and lowered water temperature while BAC process maintained relatively stable efficiency. The influent fixed at $20^{\circ}C$ and the concentration of $H_2O_2$ at 300 mg/L was continuously input for 78 hours. Most of the $H_2O_2$ in the influent did not remove at the biofiltration process controlled 5 to 15 minutes EBCT condition after 24~71 hours operating time while BAC process controlled 5 to 15 minutes EBCT showed 38~91% removal efficiency condition after 78 hours operating time. Besides, after 78 hours continuously input experiment, the biomass and activity of attached bacterial on the biofilter and BAC were $6.0{\times}10^4CFU/g$, $0.54mg{\cdot}C/m^3{\cdot}hr$ and $0.4{\times}10^8CFU/g$, $1.42mg{\cdot}C/m^3{\cdot}hr$ respectively. These biomass and activity values were decreased 99% and 72% in biofilter and 68% and 53% in BAC compared with initial condition. The biodegradation rate constant ($k_{bio}$) and half-life ($t_{1/2}$) in BAC were decreased from $1.173min^{-1}$ to $0.183min^{-1}$ and 0.591 min to 3.787 min respectively according to increasing the $H_2O_2$ concentration from 10 mg/L to 300 mg/L at $5^{\circ}C$ water temperature and the $k_{bio}$ and $t_{1/2}$ were $1.510min^{-1}$ to $0.498min^{-1}$ and 0.459 min to 1.392 min at $25^{\circ}C$ water temperature. By increasing the water temperature from $5^{\circ}C$ to $15^{\circ}C$ or $25^{\circ}C$, the $k_{bio}$ were increased 1.1~2.1 times and 1.3~4.4 times. If a water treatment plant operating $O_3/BAC$ process is considering the hydrogen peroxide for the peroxone process, post BAC could effectively decrease the residual $H_2O_2$, moreover, in case of spilling the $H_2O_2$ into the water process line, these spilled $H_2O_2$ concentration can be able to decrease by increasing the EBCT at the BAC process.
