The feasibility of soil washing was investigated in the laboratory to treat heavy metals-contaminated railway soil. Various organic acids including ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and citric acid as well as inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) and phosphoric acid were tested to evaluate washing efficiency. Generally, inorganic acid showed higher removal efficiency compared to organic acids. Specially, EDTA, which are well known as most effective washing agent to remove heavy metals from soil, was not efficient to remove heavy metals in this study. Among washing agents tested in this study, HCl was most effective. The removal of Cd, Cu, and Pb was high, however, that for Zn and Ni was less than 30% with 0.5 M HCl. This difference comes from analytical methods (Korean Standard Test Method for Soil). Aqua regia was used to extract Zn and Ni, however 0.1 N HCl was used for other metals. As a result, simple washing technology is not effective, to treat railway contaminated soil with heavy metals.

3D semiconductor material of silicon that is used throughout the semiconductor industry currently faces a physical limitation of the development of semiconductor process technology. The research into the next generation of nano-semiconductor materials such as semiconductor properties superior to replace silicon in order to overcome the physical limitations, such as the 2-dimensional graphene material in 2D transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) has been researched. In particular, 2D TMD doping without severely damage of crystal structure is required different conventional methods such as ion implantation in 3D semiconductor device. Here, we study a p-type doping technique on tungsten diselenide (WSe2) for p-channel 2D transistors by adjusting the concentration of hydrochloric acid through Raman spectroscopy and electrical/optical measurements. Where the performance parameters of WSe2 - based electronic device can be properly designed or optimized. (on currents increasing and threshold voltage positive shift.) We expect that our p-doping method will make it possible to successfully integrate future layered semiconductor devices.

A sensitive method for the determination of total selenium in aerosol particles is described. The method involves dissolution of aerosol particles by $HNO_3-HClO_4$ mixed acids, pre-reduction of Se (VI) to Se (IV) by boiling hydrochloric acid, and hydride generation followed by atomic absorption detection. Dissolved Se (IV) in 4M hydrochloric acid is reacted with $NaBH_4$ to form $H_2Se$, which is subsequently collected in an U-tube cooled in liquid nitrogen. Upon the completion of $H_2Se$ generation, the collected $H_2Se$ is rapidly vaporized into a quartz cuvette burner by removing the U-tube from liquid nitrogen, atomized, and then detected by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The absolute sensitivity of the method is 0.49 ng/0.0044 Abs. The accuracy of the method evaluated by analyzing standard reference materials for urban aerosol is better than 10%. Analytical results for urban and rural aerosol particles are reported.

The study was carried out to investigate the effects of hydrolysis conditions such as treatment times and concentrations on the solubility of insoluble sericin using the hydrochloric acid solution. When insoluble sericin was hydrolyzed by HCl solution, the solubility was increased with the higher treatment concentration. As the results of electrophoresis of sericin powder obtained by the HCl treatment, a distinguishable band was not confirmed. Average degree of polymerizations(A.D.P.) of sericin hydrolyzed by HCl solution were about 4.2~5.9 and average molecular weights(M.W.) were about 470~670. The longer hydrolysis time reduced the whiteness of sericin powder. As the results of amino acid analysis, the amino acid compositions of the sericin powder from HCl treatment were sililar to that of insoluble sericin, but Tyr. and Arg. were not detected in the powder obtained by HCl treatment. In DSC analysis, thermal deformation and pyrolysis peak located at near 220$^{\circ}C$ and 330$^{\circ}C$.

It was to investigate the optimum leaching conditions for the NaOH hot digestion and hydrochloric acid leaching of Monazite. The optimum condition for NaOH hot digestion was that the concentration of NaOH/TREO mole ratio was 15, the temperature of decomposition $140^{\circ}C$, and reaction time 2 hrs. And the optimum condition for the hydrochloric acid leaching of NaOH hot digestion product was that the concentration of hydrochloric acid was 6N, leaching time 2 hrs and pulp density about 15%. The yield of rare earth oxide was above 90% on the above experimental condition.

Solvent extraction experiments for the separation and recovery of Re from hydrochloric acid leaching solution of spent super alloy by Alamine 304-1 were carried out. The effects of some variables, such as the nature and concentration of the extractants, HCl concentration, and the presence of impurities were investigated. The synthetic solutions of Re were prepared by dissolving ammonium perrhenate (APR), Alamine304-1, Cyanex272 and $D_2EHPA$ were used solvent extractants distilled in kerosene. The extraction percentage of Re by Alamine304-1 was higher than the other extractants as Cyanex272 and $D_2EHPA$ and the percentage is about 99%. Only 99% of Re was extracted in the presence of Al, Co and V in HCl solution.

Rapeseed cake, which is the organic waste remaining after rapeseed oil production, is readily available and considered an ecologically-friendly resource with very low cost and high dietary fiber content. This research was carried out for two reasons. First, it was done to analyze the liberated reducing sugar content of rapeseed cake. Second, it was done to investigate the effects on the sugar yield of the various concentrations of acidic and alkaline catalysts used for the hydrolysis of rapeseed cake and the concentrations of rapeseed cake in each catalyst. Several amounts of ground rapeseed cake, 0.5 g, 1 g, and 2 g, were put into 100 mL of catalysts such as sulfuric acid (0.5~2%), hydrochloric acid (0.5~2%), and sodium hydroxide (0.5~2%). Then they were hydrolyzed for 5 min at 121$^{\circ}C$. After hydrolysis, HPLC equipped with an RI detector was used to analyze liberated reducing sugars such as sucrose, glucose, galactose, fructose, and arabinose separated from rapeseed cake. The degradation rate of rapeseed cake was the highest in hydrochloric acid. As the catalyst concentrations used for hydrolysis of rapeseed cake increased, the degradation rate of rapeseed cake also significantly increased. Total reducing sugar content was the highest in hydrochloric acid, and it increased with the increase of catalyst concentrations. However, as the amount of rapeseed cake increased, the total reducing sugar content decreased, exceptionally sucrose in the case of sodium hydroxide.

Inhibition effects of histidine (His), methionine (Met) on the corrosion of nickel were investigated in deaerated 0.5 M HCl and 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ solution. All the inhibition efficiency for the nickel corrosion depended on the anodic inhibition. Amino acid adsorption process on nickel surface in the solution of HCl can be explained by modified Langmuir isotherm, however, in the solution of $H_2SO_4$ by Temkin logarithmic isotherm due to the interaction between the adsorbed molecules. The molecule of histidine dissolved in HCl-solution were physically adsorbed due to the electrostatic interaction between the surface of {$Ni-Cl^-$} and the {$-NH{_3}^+$} and {$-NH^+=$} of His. However the other cases of adsorption in this investigation can be explained by chemical adsorption between the empty d-orbital of Ni and the lone pair of electron in His and Met.

This study investigated the electrochemical recovery of palladium in a HCl solution that is used for palladium leaching. The high acidity of HCl solution and the low concentration of Pd ions increased the cathodic overpotential and reduced the limiting current density. Lowering the current density produced dense deposits; however, they were under high tensile stress. Raising the temperature affected both the densification and the stress, which enabled the attainment of dense Pd deposits under low stress. Lowering the current density and raising the temperature up to 70$^{\circ}C$ was recommended for the recovery of palladium as sound bulk Pd deposits. Current efficiency was over 85% at the initial stage of recovery may decrease the current efficiency, since a low Pd ion concentration results in a low limiting current density.
