Understanding the phenomena of formation of single drops is necessary to understand the hydrodynamics in solvent extraction equipment which are used for separation of nuclear materials. In this work, the phenomena of aqueous phase and organic phase drop formation at submerged nozzles are compared by conducting experiments with 30%TBP (v/v) in dodecane as the organic phase and nitric acid as the aqueous phase. Two different nozzles and three different nitric acid concentrations are used. For each nozzle and nitric acid concentration, velocity of the dispersed phase is varied. Drops of aqueous phase formed at downward oriented nozzles submerged in organic phase are observed to be smaller than the drops of organic phase formed at upward oriented nozzles submerged in aqueous phase. Correlations to estimate drop diameter are proposed.

Fatty acid, amino acid and organic acid contents were analyzed by gas chromatography, amino acid analyzer and high pressure liquid chromatography, respectively, in order to compare the chemical constituents of upland wasabi plant propagated by seed and auxiliary bud. Total fatty acid content and fatty acid composition of upland wasabi were not affected by the propagation methods. Generally, fatty acid content of leaf was higher than that of other parts such as enlarged stem, petiole, peduncle and root. In fatty acid composition, leaf had highest content of linolenic acid, 60-63%, in plant propagated by both seed and auxiliary bud, followed by palmitic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid in the order. Similarly, total amino acid content was not influenced by propagation methods but plant propagated by seed had higher amount of amino acid content in enlarged stem, petiole and root than that by auxiliary bud -propagated plant. A total of 17 amino acids including 7 essential amino acids were identified in both seed and auxiliary bud propagations. Like total fatty acid content and fatty acid composition, leaf contained high amount of amino acids, especially glutamic acid, asparatic acid and leucine. Organic acid contents were similar in both propagation methods. The major organic acid in upland wasabi was acetic acid (60.0-78.2%), followed by succinic acid (9.9-29.7%) and malic acid (2.9-7.9%). Maleic acid content was least (0.5-2.6%). The result indicates that content and composition of fatty acid, amino acid, and organic acid in upland wasabi were not influenced by propagation methods.

Pine bark was liquefied in the presence of phenol using organic sulfonic acids as catalysts, and the liquefied barks were characterized. It was found that the organic sulfonic acids were more effective catalysts than hydrochloric acid for complete liquefaction of pine bark. The liquefied barks prepared from phenol-organic sulfonic acid liquefaction were highly phenolated, and the amounts of combined phenol were 2-3 times greater than that of the liquefied bark obtained from phenol-hydrochloric acid liquefaction. The glass transition points (Tg) were lower than that of the liquefied barks prepared from phenol-hydrochloric acid. It can be concluded that by using the organic sulfonic acids, the phenol used as a liquefying reagent is highly introduced into the bark, resulting in the phenolated bark preventing further condensation reactions, which may occur during the liquefaction. The carbohydrates such as cellulose and hemicellulose in the liquefied barks were almost decomposed during the liquefaction, from the results of IR spectra and neutral sugar analyses. Energy dispersive X-ray spectromery (EDS) results from the residues and the liquefied barks showed that the organic sulfonic acid catalysts did not lead to serious corrosion of the reactor compared with the hydrochloric acid catalyst.

Behaviors of saturated fatty acid halides (CI4, C16, C18) were measured by LB method when the molecules were stimulated by pressure. The saturated fatty acid halides were deposited on the indium tin oxide(lTO) glass by the LB method. The average organic ultra thin film size and the surface roughness of the fatty acid halides thin films were investigated using AFM. It was found that AFM images show small surface roughness ($2.5{\sim}5.0\;nm$) and the organic ultra thin film size of $2.5{\sim}12\;nm$. Both aggregations and pin-holes were also seen on the AFM images. However we found that the surface roughness. These effects seem to be reasonable to be related to the increase of the organic ultra thin film size of fatty acid halides.

Rapid gas chromatographic profiling method was applied to saliva from healthy subjects for the analysis of free organic acids. Saliva samples were first saturated with NaHCO$_{3}$ and extracted with diethyl ether. The aqueous phase was solid-phase extracted using Chromosorb P as the adsorbent and diethyl ether as the eluent after the acidification and NaCl saturation, followed by triethylamine treatment. The resulting tiiethylammonium salts of acids were directly converted into stable tert.-butyl-dimethylsflyl derivatives, with subsequent analysis by dual-capiuary column gas chromatography and gas chromatograpy -mass spectrometry. From the ten saliva samples studied, twenty eight free organic acids including various fatty acids, hydroxy acids, dicarboxylic acids, md aromatic acids were tentatively identified. Among the acids identified , the concentration of lactic acid was highest for five saliva samples while $\alpha$-hydroxyisocaproic acid was most abundant for me sample, and succinic acid and glycolic acid for two samples. respectively. When the GC profiles were simplified to the corresponding acid retention index spectra of bar graphical form, they presented characteristic patterns for each individual.

In order to elucidate the acid tolerance mechanism of Clostridium acetobutylicum against organic acid, the maintenance energy with added butyrate at different pH was determined. Maintenance coeffecient in acidogenic chemostat was higher at pH 6.5 than at pH 5.5 showing that this organism is an acidophile. The addition of butyrate at pH 5.5 and different dilution rate caused linear decrease of the cell concentration though $Y_{ATP}$ did not decrease with increasing undissociated organic acid. $Y_{ATP}$ decreased by increasing the concentration of undissociated organic acid at pH 5.0 by the addition of butyrate. From these results it is hypothesized that the ATP conaumption for pH stat of acidophile C. acetobutylicum is increased at the circumstance with over 30mM of undissociated organic acid.cid.
