The thermodynamic analysis of deoxidation in molten coppyr by Fe has been made. Equilibrium oxygen solubility saturated with FeO in Cu-Fe-O system has been derived without and with consideration of the solute interaction between Fe and O. The derived relationship of oxygen contents with Fe has been compared with the experimental results done by Kulkarni and the minimum oxygen solubility could be predicted by a simple first order interaction method, Wagner model.

The microstructure and the electrical conductivity of MgO-doped Cr2O3 were investigated as a function of oxygen partial presure, temperature, and MgO content. The grain size was estimated about 1.0$\mu\textrm{m}$. The solubility limit is increased with oxygen partial pressure. Above the solubility limit of MgO in Cr2O3, the spinel phase(MgCr2O4) is formed by the reaction of MgO and Cr2O3. The electrical conductivity of MgO-doped Cr2O3 within the solubility limit is increased with MgO content. Above the solubility limit, however, it is decreased with increasing MgO content because of the formation of the spinel phase.

The Solid solution of A $l_2$ $O_3$ into ZnO can be defined by the substitution reaction of Al$\^$3+/ ions into the Zn$\^$2+/ sites of ZnO crystal lattice, the tetrahedral interstices composed of four neighbor oxygen ions in the wurtzite structure. Since the reaction either creates new zinc vacancies or consumes the oxygen vacancies, it should be in equilibrium with ZnO nonstoichiometry and disorder reactions. The relationships make oxygen partial pressure P$\sub$o2/ control the concentrations of the vacancies and consequently limit the Al solubility in ZnO, [Al$\sub$zn/]$\sub$max/. This paper firstly reports with a refined model for defect quilibria in ZnO that the solubility decrease with the increase of P$\sub$o2/, [Al$\sub$zn/]$\sub$max/ P$\sub$o2/$\^$-1/4/.

To investigate the effect of hydrogen and oxygen contents on hydride reorientations during cool-down processes, zirconium-niobium cladding tube specimens were hydrogen-charged before some specimens were oxidized, resulting in 250 ppm and 500 ppm hydrogen-charged specimens containing no oxide and an oxide thickness of $0.38{\mu}m$ at each surface. The nonoxidized and oxidized hydrogen-charged specimens were heated up to $400^{\circ}C$ and then cooled down to room temperature at cooling rates of $0.3^{\circ}C/min$ and $8.0^{\circ}C/min$ under a tensile hoop stress of 150 MPa. The lower hydrogen contents and the slower cooling rate generated a larger fraction of radial hydrides, a longer radial hydride length, and a lower ultimate tensile strength and plastic elongation. In addition, the oxidized specimens generated a smaller fraction of radial hydrides and a lower ultimate tensile strength and plastic elongation than the nonoxidized specimens. This may be due to: a solubility difference between room temperature and $400^{\circ}C$; an oxygen-induced increase in hydrogen solubility and radial hydride nucleation energy; high temperature residence time during the cool-down; or undissolved circumferential hydrides at $400^{\circ}C$.

Exploring the basic concepts for the design of CO2-philic molecules is important due to the possibility for “green” chemistry in supercritical CO2 as substitute solvent systems. The Lewis acid-base interactions and C?H…O weak hydrogen bonding were suggested as two key factors for the solubility of CO2-philic molecules. We have performed high level quantum mechanical calculations for the van der Waals complexes of CO2 with trimethylphosphate and trimethylphosphine oxide, which have long been used for metal extractants in supercritical CO2 fluid. Structures and energies were calculated using the MP2/6-31+G(d) and recently developed multilevel methods. These studies indicate that the Lewis acid-base interactions have larger impact on the stability of structure than the C?H…O weak hydrogen bonding. The weak hydrogen bonds in trimethylphosphine oxide have an important role to the large supercritical CO2 solubility when a metal is bound to the oxygen atom of the P=O group. Trimethylphosphate has many Lewis acid-base interaction sites so that it can be dissolved into supercritical CO2 easily even when it has metal ion on the oxygen atom of the P=O group, which is indispensable for a good extractant.

The behavior of ozone in $NH_4OH$ was investigated to evaluate the solution as a cleaning chemical of the silicon wafer. The solubility of ozone in DI(Deionized) water increased as the oxygen flow-rate decreased and ozone generator power increased. Ozone in DI water showed solubility of 100 ppm or higher at room temperature. Ozone concentration was stabilized at the range of ${\pm}2ppm$ by controlling oxygen flow rate and ozone generator power. On the contrary, the solubility of ozone in $NH_4OH$ was very low and strongly depended on the concentration of $NH_4OH$ and pH. The redox potential of ozone was saturated within 10 minutes in DI water and decreased rapidly with the addition of $NH_4OH$. The behavior of ozone in $NH_4OH$ is well explained by redox potential calculation.

Samples with the nominal composition, Bi2-xGexSr2CaCu2O8＋$\delta$ (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. We have studied the effect of substitution Ge for Bi and investigated the superconducting properties by changing oxygen content with Ge substitution. It was found that temperature difference, ΔK, between TCon and TCzero was considerably smaller in the samples prepared by the intermediate pressing method than that in the samples by the solid-state reaction method. We found the solubility limit of Ge to the 80 K single phase was around x=0.3. Within the solubility limit, lattice constant c decreased with the increase of x. In the region of the 80K single phase, the onset critical temperature TCon increased and excess oxygen content decreased with increase of x.

Oxygen equilibrium and the solubility of MgO have been measured in the $CaO-Fe_tO-MgO-SiO_2({\leq}5mass%)-{\Sigma}M_xO_y$ slag in equilibrium with liquid iron in the temperature range of 1550 to $1700^{\circ}C$. The effect of oxides on the MgO solubility, and a method for calculating the solubility of MgO using slag composition and temperature,were discussed. The solubility of MgO is increased with increasing temperature and $Fe_tO$ content, and with decreasing basicity (C/S). The effect of ${\Sigma}M_xO_y$ on the solubility of MgO is a dilution effect due to the increase in slag volume. The activity and activity coefficient of $Fe_tO$ decreased with increasing basicity (B). The effect of temperature on the activity was negligible. The value of ${\rho}=Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+}$ increased with the increase of the slag basicity (B") and the decrease of the $Fe_tO$ content in the slag.

The oxygen reduction and NiO dissolution behaviors in Li-Na-K three component carbonate melts have been investigated with various compositions through electrochemical and chemical ways. The oxygen reduction currents and NiO solubilities were measured at $650^{\circ}C$ and atmospheric condition in Li-Na-K =47.4-32.6-20, 60-20-20, 50-40-10, $40-40-20 mol\%$ carbonate melts. The oxygen reduction currents showed dependence on the composition, indicating oxygen solubility is a function of carbonate composition. At the composition of $ Li-Na-K=50-40-10 mol%$, a broader peak was observed, suggesting different oxygen reduction mechanism probably prevails in this composition. In contrast, insignificant differences of NiO solubility were obtained among the compositions.

The objective of this work is to evaluate the hypothesis that a good technique for supplying oxygen to the saturated zone in the presence of light nonaqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) pool contamination at the water table is to pass air through the unsaturated zone above the pool. This hypothesis was evaluated in experimental studies performed using a bench-scale, sand-tank reactor, Steady-state abiotic experiments in the sand-tank reactor with air flowing through the reactor headspace demonstrated that oxygen supply through the water table interface into the saturated zone was enhanced when an LNAPL (dodecane) pool was present at the water table. These experimental results confirmed the hypothesis that an LNAPL pool can serve as a high concentration oxygen source to the oxygen-limited area beneath the pool and, as a result, enhance the in situ biodegradation rate.
