The enzymatic isolation of residual lignins obtained from spruce and beech pulps (obtained by sulfite, kraft, ASAM and soda/AQ/MeOH pulping processes) and their characterization was described in previous publications. Here, the residual lignins have been submitted to potassium permanganate oxidation (KMnO₄ degradation), and 9 aromatic carboxylic acids (3 of them are dimeric) were identified after methylation with diazomethane by GC/MS. The analytical challenge during qantification by the internal standard methods was the partly high protein content of the samples, which resulted in elevated anisic acid yields in the degradation mixture of sulfite residual lignins. The results are compared with the KMnO₄ degradation of the corresponding MWLs and discussed in terms of S/G ratios and degrees of condensation. The latter was calculated as a quotient between the aromatic carboxylic acids derived from condensed and non-condensed lignin structures. Typical degradation patterns for the various processes have been observed. Among other parameter, the relative compositions between iso-hemipinic acid (which is for condensation in pos. 5 of the aromatic ring) and meta-hemipinic acid and 3,4,5-trimethoxyphthalic acid (both are for condensation in pos. 6 of the aromatic ring) was found to be process specific. Kraft and soda/AQ/MeOH residual lignins yielded higher amounts of iso-hemipinic acid. In contrast, the relative yields of meta-hemipinic acid and 3,4,5-trimethoxyphthalic acid (the latter in beech lignins) are higher in sulfite and particularly in ASAM residual lignin. In case of beech residual lignins the amount of acids originated from non-condensed syringyl type lignin units was surprisingly high. The condensation degree of residual lignins was shown to be generally higher than that of MWLs. This was especially true for the G units. ASAM residual lignin exhibited very high S/G ratios and degrees of polymerization. Causality between condensation degree and total yield of degradation products was demonstrated.

Four chemical treatments with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), copper sulfate (CuSO₄), potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) and chlorine (Cl₂) were applied to the effluent pond water of a hybrid striped bass saltwater recirculating aquaculture system to compare their oxidation power. Four chemicals were applied at concentrations of 0 (control), 1, 5, 10 and 20 mg/l. An additional concentration of 40 mg/l was included in the chlorine treatment. Water samples from four hybrid striped bass ponds were tested with KMnO₄ and Cl₂. H₂O₂ did not reduce any of BOD, COD and chlorophyll-a, and copper sulfate was only effective on chlorophyll-a for the effluent pond. Removal efficiencies for chlorophyll-a by copper sulfate were 19.2%, 37.5%, 54.2% and 74.1% dose-dependently. Potassium permanganate effectively removed the BOD, COD and chlorophyll-a. The COD removal rates in four fish ponds varied from 15.9% to 31.6% at the concentration of 10 mg/l. Interestingly, Cl₂ did not reduce the BOD and COD at all, but the BOD and COD instead increased drastically with increasing the Cl₂ concentration. The pond water with the highest initial BOD and COD values among the fish ponds tested increased by 350% in the BOD and 150% in the COD at 20 mg/l. Furthermore, Cl₂ did not significantly reduce any types of solid matter in this study, while KMnO₄ seemed to reduce some extent volatile dissolved solid in the fish pond.

Variations in hexeneuronic acid content in hardwood alkaline pulps were investigated to evaluate their contribution to kappa number. Out of diverse chemical pulps the highest hexeneuronic acid content were measured in yellow poplar kraft pulping, which was assumed to enhance ca. 7.0 of kappa number determined by acid permanganate consumption. In yellow poplar soda-anthraquinone pulping, hexeneuornic acid was contributed to increment of 5.0-6.0 kappa number. In eucalyptus alkaline pulping, hexeneuronic acid content was not significantly different from soda-anthraquinone pulping. Increment of Kappa number by hexeneuronic acid was 4.5-5.6 depending on pulping method and pulping time at target temperature.

The Undaria pinnatifida collected in the waters of Dongbaek Island were grouped into young and adult ones and calcium and iron contents of each were analyzed by parts, i.e., separately for blade, stripe, and sporophyll by potassium permanganate titration method and spectrophotometric method respectively (O-phenanthrolin used). The results showed that the blades contain higher percentage of calcium than other parts both in young and adult seaweeds and that proportionately twice as much iron is contained in the blades than in the stripes.

Activated carbons from rice-straw can be used as an adsorbents for the purification of water were prepared and evaluated. The adsorptive capacities of activated carbons were measured by iodine, potassium permangante, phenol and metals. It was observed by electron microscope (SEM) and IR spectrum that organic components in the rice-straw and its carbonization product were disappeared. Slit-shaped and porousstructures were formed by activation. There was no relationship between temperature and adsorption of iodine but adsorption of potassium permanganate increased as temperature rose. The adsorption of the phenol was greater than 99%. The adsorption data of phenol at $25^\circ{C}$ obeyed the Freundlich's isotherm. Various metals except sodium were not removed by activated carbon.

Ozone alone and catalytic ozone processes were introduced for treatment of humic acid, which is representative refractory organic compound. The treatment efficiencies of humic acid in each process were analyzed in pH variation, DOC removal, and $UV_{254}$ decrease. Mn loaded GAC catalyst was prepared by loading potassium permanganate onto the granular activated carbon surface. BCM-GAC and BCM-Silica gel catalyst were prepared by BCM. $UV_{254}$ decrease in all processes was comparatively high with efficiency over 87%. DOC removal in ozone/GAC process was the highest with 78%, and removal rates for other processes followed the order ozone/BCM-GAC(62%) > ozone/BCM-silica gel(45%) > ozone/silica gel(43%) > ozone/Mn Loaded GAC(42%) > ozone alone(37%).

Hydroxlamine effect on the determination of dissolved oxygen by the azide-modified Winkder method and polarography has been studied. It was found that hydroxylamine interference on the dissolved oxygen by the azide-modified Winklet method can be eliminated completely by using permanganate. An inexpensive and convenient polarograph device was constructed. Dissolved oxygen in an air-saturated 0.1 F KCl solution undergoes, independent of hydroxylamine concentrations a two-step irreversible reduction at the dropping electrode the $H_2O_2$ produced in the first step is reduced to $H_2$O in the second. Two waves of equal size result, the first with a half-wave potential (E1/2) at about -0.13 V and the second at about -0.91 V (vs. SCE).

In order to establish the design parameters of adsorption for arsenic compounds with hydrotalcite including chlorine ion, the basic properties of adsorption and desorption as well as the oxidation of As (III) were examined in batch tests. The maximum adsorption capacities of arsenite and arsenate were 6.2 mg-As(III)/g and 103 mg-As (V)/g, respectively. Although 80.4% of maximum desorption was shown in 20% NaOH solution, 5~10% of NaOH was recommended considering operating benefits, where the proper condition of the desorption was in the range of 73% to 80%. The most suitable desorption condition was in the combination of NaCl (10~20%) and NaOH (5~10%). Within 2 minutes, As (III) was easily oxidized to As (V) with 0.0001 N KMnO4, where the maximum oxidization ratio was shown to 98.9%.

본 실험에서는 PET 위 무전해 도금을 위한 대안 공정 개발을 목적으로 은(Ag)와 과망간산염($MnO_4{^-}$)를 사용하여 기존에 일반적으로 사용된 Sn/Pd의 Sensitization과 Activation process를 대체하는 기술을 연구했다. Palladium(Pd)의 경우 공정비용에서 높은 부분을 차지하기 때문에 이를 대신하여 Ag를 사용했으며, PET 표면의 전처리를 위해 Ultra Violet과 과망간 산염을 이용하여 표면의 친수성을 높였다. 과망간산염을 사용하여 표면을 전처리하는 과정에서 이산화망간($MnO_2$)과 알코올 작용기가 생성되는데 Ag activation 단계에서 촉매 생성에 중간 매개체 역할을 하는 것으로 사료된다. 이와 같은 결론을 도출 하기 위해서 표면 위 Ag의 화학적 구조 및 상 분석을 위해 XPS와 TEM이 사용되었으며 표면에서 Ag는 Ag-O와 같은 Silver oxide의 형태와 Ag-Mn-O와 같은 Compound로 무전해 도금을 위한 촉매 역할 하는 것으로 판단된다.
