The effects of the mixed two solvents, Dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and Dimethylformamide (DMF), and Polyethylene glycol (PEG) and Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as additives on performance of Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes were studied. Initially, PEG200 was used as a primary additive at fixed percentage of 5% wt. PVP was then blended with PEG200 in different concentrations. PVDF and DMAc were used as polymer and solvent in the casting solutions, respectively. To control the diffusion rate of PVP in the presence of PEG200 and PVP blend, mixtures of DMAc and DMF were used as the mixed solvent in the casting solutions. Asymmetric PVDF membranes were prepared via phase inversion process in a water bath and the effects of two additives and two solvents on the membrane morphology, pure water flux (PWF), hydrophilicity and rejection (R) were investigated. Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra (ATR-FTIR) analysis was used to show the residual PVP on the surface of the membranes. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was utilized to determine roughness of membrane surface. The use of mixed solvents in the casting solution resulted in reduction of PVP diffusion rate and increment of PEG diffusion rate. Eventually, PWF and R values reduced, while porosity and hydrophilicity increased.

The dissociation constant of phenol red indicator in mixed solvents was studied. Methanol and ethanol were employed as solvents and studied the changes of pK values of indicator according to the kind and concentration of organic solvent which is mixed into water solution. The effect of methanol solvent on pK is negligible at 40%, 60% and 80% mixing. While in the case of ethanol, the effect of above 40% mixing is not negligible.

Synergistic effects of mixed solvents, especially with mixtures of CS$_2$ with electron donor solvents, in inducing desired structural changes in coals were studied by solvent swelling techniques in addition to differential scanning calorimetric analyses. Mixed solvents exhibit significant synergistic efficacy in swelling the coal structure of medium bituminous rank. This synergy effect appears to be physical origin that is closely related to matching solubility parameters. Since the swollen coal structure can be obtained by mixed solvents with CS$_2$ at room temperature instead of high temperature, many possible technological pathways for economical utilization of coal might be sought.

To study the effect of titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) nanoparticles on membrane performance and structure and to explore possible improvement of using mixed solvents in the casting solution, composite polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration membranes were prepared via immersion precipitation method using a mixture of two solvents triethyl phosphate (TEP) and dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and addition of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. Properties of the neat and composite membranes were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle and membrane porosity measurements. The neat and composite membranes were further investigated in terms of BSA rejection and flux decline in cross flow filtration experiments. Following hydrophilicity improvement of the PVDF membrane by addition of 0.25 wt.% $TiO_2$, (from $70.53^{\circ}$ to $60.5^{\circ}$) degree of flux decline due to irreversible fouling resistance of the composite membrane reduced significantly and the flux recovery ratio (FRR) of 96.85% was obtained. The results showed that using mixed solvents (DMAc/TEP) with lower content of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles (0.25 wt.%) affected the sedimentation rate of nanoparticles and consequently the distribution of nanoparticles in the casting solution and membrane formation which influenced the properties of the ultimate composite membranes.

본 연구는 열장 흐름 분획법을 이용하여 혼합 용매에서의 폴리스티렌의 머무름을 측정하고 용매의 조성이 시료의 머무름거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 시료는 분자량이 35,000, 110,000, 200,000, 470,000인 폴리스티렌을, 이동상은 테드라히드로퓨란(THF), 클로로포름(CHL), 시클로헥산(CH), 그리고 벤젠(BZ)의 단일용매 및 혼합용매를 사용하였다. 시료의 분자량과 혼합용매의 조성의 변화에 따라서 시료의 머무름비와 열확산계수를 측정하였으며, 그 값들을 시료와 용매의 물리화학적인 성질과 연관시켜 설명하였다. 즉, 시료의 머무름비는 이동상의 밀도의 영향을 크게 받으며 이동상의 밀도가 클수록 머무름비가 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이동상에 포함된 poor 용매의 함량이 증가할수록 열확산계수는 감소하였다.

분광용매화 기질인 [Cu(tmen)(acac)]$CIO_4$를 이용하여 혼합용매의 Lewis basicity인 Gutmann의 Donor Number(DN)를 측정하였다. 측정된 여덟가지 MeOH 혼합용매들의 DN값 변화는 단순히 용매의 조성변화와 일치하지 않을 뿐만 아니라, 혼합용매들은 그 변화 형태에 따라 세 개의 그룹으로 구분할 수가 있었다. (1) 기질에 대한 용매화가 주로 cosolvent들에 의해 이루어지는 경우(MeOH-DMSO, MeOH-PY, MeOH-DMF)와 (2) 기질의 용매화에 혼합용매의 두 성분이 거의 동일하게 영향을 미치는 경우 (MeOH-MeCN, MeOH-dioxane, MeOH-AC) 및 (3) 전적으로 MeOH에 의한 기질의 용매화가 이루어지는 경우이다(MeOH-DCE, MeOH-TCE). 또한 순수한 용매들의 경우와 마찬가지로 이들 혼합용매들에 대한 DN과 Kamlet-Taft의 basicity 변수인 $B_{KT}$값들간에는 비교적 좋은 상관관계성을 볼 수 있었으며, 혼합용매들의 반응성 해석에서도 유용한 인자로 사용될 수 있음을 알았다.

Under ordinary atmospheric circumstances, the gravimetric technique was used to measure the solubility of L-cysteine (L-Cys) and L-alanine (L-Ala) in various solvents, including methyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, and mixtures of the two, in the range o 283.15 K to 323.15 K. Both individual solvents and their combinations showed a rise in the solubility of L-Cys and L-Ala with increasing temperature, according to the analyzed data but when analyzed at a constant temperature in the selected mixed solvents, the solubility declined with decreasing of initial mole fractions of methyl alcohol. To further assess, the relative utility of the four solubility models, we fitted the solubility data using the Jouyban-Acree (J-A), van't Hoff-Jouyban-Acree (V-J-A), Apelblat-Jouyban-Acree (A-J-A), and Ma models followed by evaluation of the values of the RAD information criteria and the RMSD were. The dissolution was also found to be an entropy-driven spontaneous mixing process in the solvents since the thermodynamic parameters of the solvents were determined using the van't Hoff model. In order to support the industrial crystallization of L-cysteine and L-alanine and contribute to future theoretical research, we have determined the experimental solubility, correlation equations, and thermodynamic parameters of the selected amino acids during the dissolution process.

A population monitoring studies for assessing the genotoxicity of occupationally exposed mixed organic solvents to printers were performed by using the chromosome aberration assay and the cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus assay. The incidence of chromosome aberrations and micronuclei was studied in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of 51 male printers and their matched controls in Seoul area. Smoking habits and duration of employment were taken into account. The frequencies of micronucleus in peripheral lymphocytes of printers were significantly different in comparision with control subjects. Also there were significant increase in the frequencies of micronucleus by duration of exposure. The frequencies of chromosome aberrations showed no significant differences between printers and their matched controls.

The quantitative assessment of the penetration of organic solvents through skin is necessary for the evaluation of health hazards in occupational environments. We investigated the rate of dermal penetration when mixed or single forms of organic solvents were placed into a diffusion cell in vitro or into an experimental animal in vivo. The diffusion rates of methanol. toluene, and styrene were 6.07, 0.129, and 0.046 mg/$cm^2$/h, respectively. When skin was exposed to the mixed solvent of methanol and toluene, the penetration rate of toluene did not change significantly (0.110 mg/$cm^2$/h). However, the rate of methanol penetration increased to 43.90 mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$/h. The penetration rate of methanol also increased significantly to 54.69 mg/$cm^2$/h by mixing it with styrene. The concentration of methanol in the blood was monitored during the epicutaneous exposure in rats. The blood concentration of methanol was increased by mixing methanol with toluene as seen in the in vitro experiments. These results showed that the penetration rate of organic solvents would be enhanced by mixing them with other solvents.
