  • A simple mathematical model for facilitated mass transport through a fixed site carrier membrane was derived by assuming an instantaneous, microscopic concentration (activity) fluctuation. The current model demonstrates that the facilitation factor depends on the extent of concentration fluctuation, the time scale ratios of diffusion to chemical reaction and the ratio of the carrier concentration to the solute solubility in matrix. The model was examined against the experimental data on oxygen transport in membranes containing metallo-porphyrin carriers, and the agreement was exceptional (within 10% error). The basic concept of this approach was applied to separate olefin from olefin/paraffin mixtures. A proprietaty carrier, developed here, resulted that the selectivity of propylene over propane was more than 120 and the propylene permeance exceed 40 gpu.

  • Emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) process suffers from emulsion instability problem. So far, emulsion produced by mechanical methods such as stirrer and homogenizer has big size and high emulsion breakage. This paper discussed the application of emulsion produced by sonicator to extract cadmium in a batch ELM system. The emulsions consist of N,N-Dioctyl-1-octanamine (trioctylamine/TOA), nitrogen trihydride (ammonia/NH4OH), sorbitan monooleate (Span 80), and kerosene as carrier, stripping solution, emulsifying agent, and organic diluent, respectively. Effects of comprehensive parameters on extraction efficiency of Cd(II) such as emulsification time, extraction time, stirring speed, surfactant concentration, initial feed phase concentration, carrier concentration, volume ratio of the emulsion to feed phase, and pH of initial feed phase were evaluated. The results showed that extraction efficiencies of Cd(II) greater than 98% could be obtained under the following conditions: 15 minutes of emulsification time, 4 wt.% of Span 80 concentration, 4 wt.% of TOA concentration, 15 minutes of extraction time, 250 rpm of stirring speed, 100 ppm of initial feed concentration, volume ratio of emulsion to feed phase of 1:5, and initial feed pH of 1.53.

  • The intrinsic oxygen-vacancy defects in ZnO have prevented the preparation of p-type ZnO with high carrier concentration. Therefore, in this work, the effect of the concentration of H2O2 (used as an oxygen source) on the oxygen-vacancy concentration in ZnO prepared by atomic layer deposition was investigated. The results indicated that the oxygen-vacancy concentration in the ZnO film decreased by the oxygen-rich growth conditions when using H2O2 as the oxygen precursor instead of a conventional oxygen source such as H2O. The suppression of oxygen vacancies decreased the carrier concentration and increased the resistivity. Moreover, the growth orientation changed to the (002) plane, from the combined (100) and (002) planes, with the increase in H2O2 concentration. The passivation of oxygen-vacancy defects in ZnO can contribute to the preparation of p-type ZnO.

  • This paper presents a proper condition to achieve high conversion efficiency using PC1D simulator on sri-crystalline Si solar cells. Various efficiency influencing parameters such as rear surface recombination velocity and minority carrier diffusion length in the base region, front surface recombination velocity, junction depth and doping concentration in the Emitter layer, BSF thickness and doping concentration were investigated. Optimized cell parameters were given as rear surface recombination of 1000 cm/s, minority carrier diffusion length in the base region 200 $\mu\textrm{m}$, front surface recombination velocity 100 cm/s, sheet resistivity of emitter layer 100 Ω/$\square$, BSF thickness 5 $\mu\textrm{m}$, doping concentration 5${\times}$10$\^$19/ cm$\^$-3/. Among the investigated variables, we learn that a diffusion length of base layer acts as a key factor to achieve conversion efficiency higher than 19 %.

  • Distribution volume (Vd$_{ss}$ ) of a model basic drug, tetraethylammonium bromide (TEA) at a steady-state decreased sinificantly in glycerol and uranium-renal failure rats. Assuming carrier-mediated transport of TEA into tissues, the theoretical $Vd_{ss}$ of TEA decreases in an exponential way as the plasmal concentration of TEA increases. The relationship between $Vd_{ss}$ and plasma concentration of TEA in the experimental renal failure (ERF)-rats was similar. Therefore, the decrease in $Vd_{ss}$ of TEA in the ERF-rats seemed to be due to the saturation of the carrier system that are responsible for the tissue distribution of TEA, by the elevated plasma concentration of TEA in the ERF-rats. ERF was induced to rats with glycerol, folate, salicylate, uranium and gentamicin, respectively..

  • The selective permeate transport characteristics of iodine ion at follicle cell membrane model in thyroid which irradiated by high energy x-ray(linac 6 MV) was investigated. The follicle cell membrane model used in this experiment was a polysulfonated copolymerized membrane of poly(4-vinylpyridine-co-acrylonitrile:VP-AN). The difference of membrane thickness [2 mole AN%(w/w)], fixed carrier concentration[VP-AN%(w/w)], OH- concentration were occurred at difference of I- concentration and quantity of thyroid hormone, respectively. The tensile strength in fixed carrier concentration[VP-AN% (w/w): 0-62 %] of irradiated membrane was found to be decreased about 1.2-1.8 times than non-irradiated membrane. The I- selective permeate initial flux with increase of membrane thickness [2mole AN%(w/w)], fixed carrier concentration[VP-AN%(w/ w)], OH- concentration in irradiated membrane were found to be decreased about 2.1-4.5 times, about 2.2-2.5 times, about 2.1-2.67 times than non-irradiated membrane, respectively. As a result, the quantity of thyroid hormone was decreased at irradiated membrane than non-irradiated membrane. The decrease of thyroid hormone was occurred at hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, and so on. As the thyroid hormone in cell membrane model were abnormal, cell damages were appeared at cell.

  • The samples of Bi2Sr2Ca1-xNaxCu2O8+y with various carrier concentration were synthesized by substituting Na for Ca ion. The superconducting properties hall coefficients and X-ray powder diffraction were measur-ed the sampled. Single phase samples were obtained for 0$\leq$x<0.3 of Bi2Sr2Ca1-xNaxCu2O8+y In the single phase the critical temperature. {{{{ { T}_{c } }} and carrier concentration increase with the increase of Na concentration pass through a maximum and then decreases. In the range of x$\geq$0.7 to the Na doped samples however we observed the metal-semiconductor transition. The c-axis seemed to decrease and a and b-axes increase with increasing Na concentration in the single phase. Decreasing of c-axis while increasing x is due to the smaller size of {{{{ {Na}^{+1 } }} ions to the {{{{ { Ca}^{+2 } }} ions. In the range of x>0.3 however the trend becomes ambiguous due to the inclusion of the 10K phase and impurity phase.

  • The state of carrier-free yttrium-90 has been studied by filtration method with membrane filters. The studies include the adsorption ratio of carrier-free yttrium-90 on membrane filters by the change of PH, concentration of yttrium-90, and the pore size of member filters. The adsorption followed to Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The adsorption mechanism was proposed by the adsorption of transient state as an ionic form of $Y^{3+}$, and the experimental results were explained satisfactorily by the proposal. The adsorbed state of yttrium was present in the forms of yttrium such as $Y^{3+},\;Y(OH)^{3+},\;Y(OH)^{2+},\;Y(OH)^+_3,\;and\;Y(OH)_3$,and the existing ratios of the forms of yttrium were sharply changed by PH. It seems to be valid tha the carrier-free yttrium-90 exists mostly in $Y^{3+}$ state.

  • Spray dried powdered juice was processed from concentrated extract of jujube(Zizyphus jujuba MILLER). Spray drying of the extract solution could not be operated to have powder product by itself over whole concentration range and required addition of some carrier or support material. The concentrated extract of 26$^{\circ}$Bx was combined with carrier material solution to have a final concentration of 30$^{\circ}$Bx, and then spray dried. Proper addition level of carrier solid for physical and flavor quality of the powder product was determined to be 1 : 1 ratio to jujube solid. Combined use of maltose and gum arabic produced the best quality product among the studied carrier materials, which were maltose, dextrin, condensed milk and gum arabic. Enzymatic treatment in extraction process could increase the yield by 13~39%, but hurt the sensory quality of powdered juice. Treatment by 0.5% pectinase(0.05 unit/ml) may be used with lesser quality change for improved yield.
