In this study, a new method called as multi-dropped liquid membrane (MDLM) which is more practical and more effective than other liquid membrane techniques is applied for transport of Zn(II) has been studied. HCl as the stripping solution and D2EHPA dissolved in kerosene as the membrane solution, has been examined. The effects of stripping solution concentration, carrier concentration, temperature and pH in the feed phase on the transport of Zn(II) have also been investigated. As a result, the optimum transport conditions of Zn(II) were obtained, i.e., the concentration of HCl solution was 0.25 M, the concentration of D2EHPA was $8{\times}10^{-3}M$, and pH value in the donor phase was 5.00. Under the optimum conditions, the transport percentage of Zn(II) was up to >99% during the transport time of 80 min when the initial concentration of Zn(II) was $120mgL^{-1}$. The activation energy is calculated as $5.30kcalmol^{-1}$. The value of calculated activation energy indicates that the process is diffusionally controlled by Zn(II) ions. The experiments have demonstrated that D2EHPA derivative is a good carrier for Zn(II) transport through MDLM in the study.

In this study, nanofiltration was applied to the concentration of the 6-aminopenicillinic acid (6-APA) from bioconverted penicillin solution and also to its mother liquor. The 6-APA in the solution was concentrated from 0.211 mol/L to 0.746 mol/L by nanofiltration. The final maximum concentration was 3.6 times higher than the initial concentration an the recovery yield was 97% to 99% of the original 6-APA. The concentrated solution was crystallized with the yields of 88.9-90.2% and the purity of the crystallized product was about 98%. The concentration of 6-APA in the mother liquor after crystallization was 0.014 mol/L and thus was concentrated 20-30 fold by nanofiltration and crystallization. The recovery of 6-APA was over 98%. The salts contained in the mother liquor, such as NH$_4$Cl and KCl, could be removed by allowing them to permeate through the membrane.

In bioethanol from acid hydrolysis process, neutralization of acid hydrolyzate is essential step, which resulted in dissolved cations in glucose solution. Impact of cations to Saccharomyces cerevisiae in glucose solution was investigated focused on ethanol fermentation. Both potassium and sodium cations decreased the ethanol fermentation and glucose to ethanol conversion as potassium or sodium cations. In sodium cation, more than 1.13 N sodium cation in glucose solution led to ethanol production less than theoretical yield with severe inhibition. In 1.13 N sodium cation concentration, ethanol fermentation was slowed down to reach the maximum ethanol concentration with 48 h fermentation compared with 24 h fermentation in control (no sodium cation in glucose solution). In case of potassium cation, three different levels of potassium led to silimar ethanol concentration even though slight slow down of ethanol fermentation with increasing potassium cation concentration at 12 h fermentation. Sodium cation showed more inhibition than potassium cation as ethanol concentration and glucose consumption by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The early plasma gastrin responses to single oral glucose or casein solution were studied in the same normal subjects on different days. After an overnight fast, glucose or casein solution was ingested within few minutes at the breakfast time. The plasma gastrin responses to these solutions were compared and contrasted with the concentration when the subjects received glucose solution intravenously. Results were as follows: 1) Rapid intravenous glucose infusion did not produce any changes in the plasma gastrin concentration. 2) Plasma gastrin concentration rose and peaked within 10 minutes after an oral liquid ingestion and then decreased substantially by 15 minutes, but remained slightly above fasting levels at 60 minutes. 3) There was no significant difference between the mean plasma gastrin concentrations after glucose of casein ingestion, but each fluid produced a significant increase in serum gastrin above fasting levels. 4) The subjects who produced high plasma gastrin response to glucose solution did so to casein solution. Conversely a low response to one solution reflected a low response to the other solution. 5) From the above results, authors discussed that individual responsibility rather than the sorts of meals is the factor in the determination of the magnitude of the early gastrin response.

증기-확산 단백질 결정화의 물-증발 속도를 조절하기 위해서, 간결한 모세관 내의 다중-단계 농도 장착법 (multistep-concentration setting in capillaries) 이 이용되었다. “조절 용액 (regulatory solution)”이라고 일컬어지는 2차 침전 용액이 이용되어, 이 방법으로 다양한 증발 속도 곡선들이 얻어졌다. 이때, 조절 용액은 단백질 용액에 직접적으로 노출되지 않는다. 모델 단백질인 lysozyme의 결정화에 이 그래프들이 적용되었다. 결정 성장은 증발속도에 달려있다는 것을 실험 결과들이 명백하게 보여주었다. 특히나. 단백질 용액의 침전 농도가 어떤 점까지 증가하다가 평형 농도로 줄어드는 decoupling 곡선이 가장 좋은 결정들을 만들어냈다.

Chloride baths for electrodeposited Ni thin films were fabricated by dissolving metal Ni powders with the mixed solution consisting of HCl and de-ionized water. Current efficiency, residual stress, surface morphology and microstructure of Ni films with the change of metal ion ($Ni^{2+}$) concentrations in the plating solution were studied. Current efficiency was measured to be more than 90% with increasing $Ni^{2+}$ concentrations in the plating solution. Residual stress of Ni thin film was increased from about 400 to 780 MPa with increasing $Ni^{2+}$ concentration from 0.2 to 0.5 M. It is gradually decreased to 650 MPa at 0.9 M $Ni^{2+}$ concentration. Smooth surface morphologies were observed over 0.3 M $Ni^{2+}$ concentration, but nodule surface morphology at 0.2 M. Ni films consist of FCC(111), FCC(200), FCC(220) and FCC(311) peaks in XRD patterns. Preferred orientation of FCC(111) was observed and its intensity was slightly decreased with increasing $Ni^{2+}$ concentration. The average grain size was slightly increased at 0.3 M $Ni^{2+}$ concentration and then slightly decreased with increasing $Ni^{2+}$ concentration.

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is a promising coating process to produce ceramic oxide on valve metals such as Al, Mg and Ti. The PEO coating is carried out with a dilute alkaline electrolyte solution using a similar technique to conventional anodizing. The coating process involves multiple process parameters which can influence the surface properties of the resultant coating, including power mode, electrolyte solution, substrate, and process time. In this study, ceramic oxide coatings were prepared on commercial Al alloy in electrolytes with different KOH concentrations (0.5 ~ 4 g/L) by plasma electrolytic oxidation. Microstructural and electrochemical characterization were conducted to investigate the effects of electrolyte concentration on the microstructure and electrochemical characteristics of PEO coating. It was revealed that KOH concentration exert a great influence not only on voltage-time responses during PEO process but also on surface morphology of the coating. In the voltage-time response, the dielectric breakdown voltage tended to decrease with increasing KOH concentration, possibly due to difference in solution conductivity. The surface morphology was pancake-like with lower KOH concentration, while a mixed form of reticulate and pancake structures was observed for higher KOH concentration. The KOH concentration was found to have little effect on the electrochemical characteristics of coating, although PEO treatment improved the corrosion resistance of the substrate material significantly.

The structure of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings was investigated as a function of NaOH concentration in 0.06 M $Na_2SiO_3$ + 0.06 M $Na_3PO_4$ solution by using SEM and epoxy replica method. The PEO film was formed on AZ31 Mg alloy by the application of anodic pulse current with 0.2 ms width and its formation behavior was studied by voltage-time curves during the formation of PEO films. It was found that the addition of NaOH into $PO_4{^{3-}}$ and $SiO_3{^{2-}}$ containing aqueous solution causes a decrease in the PEO film formation voltage, suggesting that dielectric breakdown of the PEO becomes easier with increasing $OH^-$ ion concentration in the solution. With increasing $OH^-$ ion concentration, thickness of the PEO film increased and surface roughness decreased. The size of pores formed in the PEO layer became smaller and the number of cracks in the PEO layer increased with increasing $OH^-$ ion concentration. Based on the experimental results obtained in the work, it is suggested that $OH^-$ ions in the solution can contribute not only to the dielectric breakdown but also to the formation of PEO films in the presence of $PO_4{^{3-}}$ and $SiO_3{^{2-}}$ ions in the solution.

본 연구는 칼슘의 시비농도를 인위적으로 조절한 후 국화를 재배하면서 각 원소의 시비수준이 생육과 절화 품질에 미치는 영향을 구명하고 생육을 우수하게 유지할 수 있는 식물체 및 토양의 한계농도를 밝히기 위하여 수행하였다. Ca결핍 증상은 신엽에서 발생하였고, 신엽이 cup 형태로 구부러지는 기형증상이 나타났다. 정식 109일 후에 조사한 절화장은 무시비구, 3.0mM 그리고 4.5mM Ca처리에서 각각 105.8cm, 106.5cm, 107.3cm로 조사되었다. Ca시비농도가 증가할수록 절화중이 무거워져 무처리구가 51.6g이었고 6.0mM 시비구에서 59.4g으로 측정되었다. 건물중이 가장 무거웠던 6.0mM Ca시비구에서 $3.09\%$의 식물체내 Ca함량을 갖는 것으로 분석되어 국화 'Biarritz'의 정상 생육을 위해서는 $2.8\%$ 이상의 식물체내 Ca 함량을 갖도록 시비하여야 할 것으로 판단되었다. Ca 시비농도가 증가할수록 토양 농도도 뚜렷하게 높아져 무처리구, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5 및 6.0mM 시비구가 각각 5.0, 7.3, 12.1, 16.5 및 $28.2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$로 분석되었다. 건물 생산량을 고려하여 정상 생육을 위한 최저한계점은 $25.4mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$이라고 판단되었다.

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) copolymers with different methyl acrylate (MA) contents were synthesized via solution polymerization and used as precursors for high-performance PAN ultrafine fibrids. The chemical structures of the copolymers were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and $^{13}C$ nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Their particle sizes and aspect ratios increased with increasing viscosity, and the degree of crystallinity increased with decreasing concentration of copolymer solution. In contrast, their peak temperature and heat of exotherm increased with decreasing concentration of the copolymer solution. The aromatization indices (AIs) of the fibrids increased with increasing heat-treatment time; however, the AIs decreased when the heat-treatment temperature was higher than the onset temperature of the copolymers. On the other hand, the crystal sizes of the fibrids decreased with increasing concentration of the copolymer solution when the MA content was held constant.
