    In order to remove strontium from seawater, sodium titanate was impregnated onto a commercially available 6-nylon fiber by means of radiation-induced graft polymerization and subsequent chemical modifications. First, dimethyaminopropyl acrylamide as an originally anion-exchange-group-containing vinyl monomer was graft-polymerized onto the electron-beam-irradiated nylon fiber, followed by binding of a peroxo complex of titanium anions to the anion-exchange group of the graft chain. Then, bound titanium species were converted into insoluble sodium titanate through a reaction with sodium hydroxide. The equilibrium binding capacity of the sodium-titanate-impregnated fiber for strontium in seawater was calculated as 1.7 mg/g-Sr of the fiber from Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

    To enhance the removal rate of ruthenium from water, nucleic-acid base-immobilized fibers as adsorbent were prepared by means of radiation-induced graft polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate and the subsequent addition of nucleic-acid bases. The density of adenine immobilized onto 6-nylon fiber was 1.2 mmol/g. Ther removal rate of ruthenium increased with an increase in sodium chloride concentration in the ruthenium solution. The removal rate was represented by second-order reaction with respect to ruthenium concentration. The dependence of the initial removal rate of ruthenium from the solution on the temperature demonstrated that the activation energy of overall adsorption of ruthenium onto adenine-immobilized fiber was 45 kJ/mol, irrespective of the sodium chloride concentration ranging from 0.025 to 0.5 M.

    The effects of bittern components on salt taste were assessed using sensory evaluation and taste sensors. Sensory tests detected the addition of potassium chloride and sodium sulfate at 0.08 % in 0.8 % of a sodium chloride solution. The salt solution taste became deeper concomitantly with the added quantity of those bittern components. Results show that magnesium sulfate at 0.04 % and magnesium chloride at 0.16 % in 0.8 % sodium chloride solution affected the taste. Bittern compounds decreased saltiness in accordance with the quantity of their addition. Taste sensor measurement results showed different response patterns for bitterness of magnesium sulfate and magnesium chloride from those of other solutions. These results suggest that bittern component variety and quantity affect the salt taste.

    In this study, the low energy membrane concentration process of PVC latex particles was investigated by means of forward osmosis process. The detailed investigation revealed that concentration behavior of latex particles strongly depended on the flow condition of latex and the shear stress on the membrane. Moreover, the effects of FO membrane species and membrane orientation facing the latex solution on concentration behavior of latex particles were examined. In addition, the concentration behavior of a surfactant(SDS)aqueous solution was compared with the PVC latex solution. The concentration polarization of SDS into a support layer of the FO membrane played an important role for concentration of latex particles. This work showed high concentration of more than 65 wt% of latex particles while maintaining surfactant was possible by means of FO process using seawater.
