Mode-locked pulse lasers have a temporal periodicity up over a short period of time. However, in the time-frequency domain, a pulsed laser with temporal periodicity is described as an optical frequency comb with constant frequency spacing. Each frequency component of the optical frequency comb in the frequency domain is then a continuous-wave (CW) laser with hundreds of thousands of single-frequency-component CW lasers in the time domain. This optical frequency comb was developed approximately 20 years ago, enabling the development of the world's most precise atomic clocks and precise transmission of highly stable optical frequency references. In this review, research on the selective extraction of the single-frequency components of optical frequency combs and the control of the frequency components of optical combs is introduced. By presenting the concepts and principles of these optical frequency combs in a tutorial format, we hope to help readers understand the properties of light in the time-frequency domain and develop various applications using optical frequency combs.

The efficiency of six different extraction methods for the analysis of aroma components from pine needle(P. densiflora) was compared by gas chromatography-mass selective detector(GC-MSD). The six methods were dynamic headspace(DHS), reduced pressure headspace(RPHS), solid-phase microextraction(SPME), simultaneous distillation-extraction(SDE), supercritical fluid extraction(SFE) and pyrolysis distillation extraction(PDE). A total of 65 compounds were identified by using the six different extraction methods. These compounds are classified into six categories in terms of chemical functionality: 25 hydrocarbons, 16 alcohols, 9 carbonyls, 6 esters, 7 acids, and 2 ethers. The aroma compounds having low boiling point were more abundant in DHS, RPHS, and SPME extracts. On the other hand, the aroma compounds having high boiling point were more abundants in SDE, SFE and PDE extracts. The acid compounds were extracted by heat-based extraction methods such as SDE, SFE, PDE, but not by DHS, RPHS and SPME, which used neither solvent nor heat. The oxygenated terpens, hexanal, hexanol, and hexadienal were more abundant in DHS and RPHS extracts, compared with the other methods.

The solvent extraction for the separation of platinum group metals from the leach liquor of spent automotive catalysts has been studied. Tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP), tri-n-octylamine (TOA) and di-n-hexyl sulfide (DHS) were used as extractants and kerosene as a diluent. The extraction behavior of platinum, palladium and rhodium has been investigated as functions of different kinds of extractants and their concentrations. In addition, the extraction behavior of the major metal impurities such as cerium, lead, iron, magnesium and aluminum has been investigated. Platinum and palladium were extracted with TBP. And platinum, palladium and rhodium were extracted with TOA. Platinum was co-extracted with palladium into the organic phase by solvent extraction using SFI-6 of DHS extractant, but only palladium was selectively extracted with SFI-6R. The selective extraction of palladium with SFI-6R was found better than that with SFI-6, but the kinetics of extraction with SFI-6R was found poor in comparison to SFI-6. The metal impurities extracted simultaneously during the extraction of platinum group metals should be removed in scrubbing and stripping processes. A suitable process has been proposed for the separation of platinum group metals from the leach liquor of spent automotive catalysts. Initially palladium was extracted with SFI-6R, followed by the separation of platinum with TBP or TOA leaving rhodium in the raffinate.

Laboratory-scale experiments were carried out to investigate the adsorption equilibrium, the adsorption kinetics and facilitated transport of two cationic dyes (Methylene Blue (MB) and Rhodamine B (RB)) on Polymer Inclusion Membrane (D2EHPA-PIM). Different adsorption isotherms (Freundlich, Langmuir and Temkin models) as well as kinetics models indicated that the adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic. Under the optimal conditions, the adsorption removal efficiencies reach about 93% and 97% for MB and RB respectively. Different extraction values by D2EHPA-PIM were obtained for the two cationic dyes: MB is weakly extracted at pH 2.0 (E% = 18.7%) whilst E% = 82.4% was observed for RB at the same pH. This difference was exploited in a mixture containg both the 2 cationic dyes for the selective extraction of RB at pH 2. Desorption of both dyes was achieved from the membrane by using acidic aqueous solutions and desorption ratio up to 90% was obtained. The formulas of the extracted complexes by the PIMs were, determined by the method of slopes. The dyes transport was elucidated using mass transfer analysis where in it found relatively high values of the initial flux ($J_0$) as 41.57 and $18.74{\mu}mol.m^2.s^{-1}$ for MB and RB respectively.

IMO to issue some restricted maritime legislation for reducing the adverse environmental impacts arising from such ship exhaust emissions. According to the IMO policy, every ship entering the Baltic SECAs has to equip the gas cleaning scrubber. The discharged waste solution by gas cleaning scrubber contains many types of salts, which to recover some valuable materials before disposal. This study try to achieve valuable salts including AN and AS throughout a few process such as selective organic solvents salting out, low temperature extraction and thermal evaporation. Amongst them, Thermal evaporation with repetition extraction using inorganic solvent was the most optimum to purify the extracted AN. This valuable salt was evaluated by Elemental analysis and Differential scanning calorimetry.

The separation behaviour of Mo and W from sulfuric acid solution by solvent extraction with Alamine 336 was investigated as a function of solution pH and extractant concentration. Selective extraction of Mo over W by Alamine 336 was obtained in the pH range of 3-5 with low amine concentration. The mixture of Alamine 336 and acidic extractants improved the separation factor between Mo and W and was in the following order: D2EPHA > PC88A > Decanol > Versatic acid. The stripping efficiency of Mo and W from the loaded mixture of Alamine 336 and D2EHPA was very poor, while complete stripping of Mo and W was possible from the mixture of Alamine 336 and Decanol by using a mixture of $NH_4OH$ and $NH_4Cl$.

The concept of a new method, the CARBEX (CARBonate EXtraction) process, was proposed for reprocessing of spent uranium oxide fuel. The proposed process is based on use of water solutions of $Na_2CO_3$ or $(NH_4)_2CO_3$ and solvent extraction (SE) by the quaternary ammonium compounds for selective recovery and purification of U from the fission products (FPs). Applying of SE allows to reach high degree of purification of U from FPs. Carrying out the processes in poorly aggressive alkaline carbonate media leads to increasing safety of SNF's reprocessing and better selectivity of separation of lanthanides and actinides. Moreover carbonate reprocessing media allows to carry out a recycling and regeneration of reagents. We have been done laboratory scale experiments on the extraction components of simulated voloxidated spent fuel in the solutions of NaOH or $Na_2CO_3-H_2O_2$ and recovery of U from carbonate solutions by SE method using carbonate of methyltrioctylammonium in toluene. It was shown that the purification factors of U from impurities of simulated FPs reached values $10^3-10^5$. The received results support our opinion that CARBEX after the further development can become more safe, simple and profitable method of spent fuel reprocessing.

The smelting reduction of spent lithium-ion batteries results in metallic alloys of cobalt, nickel, and copper. To develop a process to separate the metallic alloys, leaching of the metallic mixtures of these three metals with H₂SO₄ solution containing 3% H₂O₂ dissolved all the cobalt and nickel, together with 9.6% of the copper. Cyanex 301 selectively extracted Cu(II) from the leaching solution, and copper ions were completely stripped with 30% aqua regia. Selective extraction of Co(II) from a Cu(II)-free raffinate was possible using the ionic liquid ALi-SCN. Three-stage cross-current stripping of the loaded ALi-SCN by a 15% NH₃ solution resulted in the complete stripping of Co(II). A process was proposed to separate the three metal ions from the sulfuric acid leaching solutions of metallic mixtures by employing solvent extraction.

Tridecanedioic acid (DC-13), starting material of the valuable musk ethylene brassylate, was obtained from n-tridecane by the Candida tropicalis mutant. The mutants were first obtained from primary screening step using the selective medium and then solid phase extraction sampling method was used for the selective isolation of organic acids from the cultured media of mutants. The resulting acids were directly converted to volatile tert-butyldimethyl silyl delivatives, which were then analyzed by gas chromatography. The efficient GC profiling method was used for the rapid identification of the mutant producing DC-13 in large quantity, and for the optimization of the culture conditions of mutant. The optimal culture conditions were found as follows: pH 8.0, 30$^{\circ}C$, 250rpm, 48hour of culture and $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ as nitrogen source.

We propose a channel-attentive Mel frequency cepstral coefficient (CAMFCC) extraction method to improve the recognition performance of speech that is partially corrupted in the frequency domain. This method introduces weighting terms both at the filter bank analysis step and at the output probability calculation of decoding step. The weights are obtained for each frequency channel of filter bank such that the more reliable channel is emphasized by a higher weight value. Experimental results on TIDIGITS database corrupted by various frequency-selective noises indicated that the proposed CAMFCC method utilizes the uncorrupted speech information well, improving the recognition performance by 11.2% on average in comparison to a multi-band speech recognition system.
