Inorganic/organic composite particles were also synthesized by changing an initiator an it's concentration, concentration of an adsorbed surfactant, reaction temperature, and agitation speed in the presence of $CaCO_3$ adsorbed SDBS. The polymerization conditions were optimized according to the conversion of the core-shell composite particles. In the inorganic/organic core-shell composite particle polymerization, $CaCO_3$ absorbed surfactant SDBS of 0.5 wt % was prepared first and then core $CaCO_3$ was encapsulated by sequential emulsion polymerization using MMA, concentration of APS $3.16{\times}10^{-3}mol/L$ to minimize the formation of new PMMA particle during MMA shell polymerization. The structure characterization of the inorganic/organic core-shell particles was verified by measuring the decomposition degree of $CaCO_3$ using HCl solution. It was found that $CaCO_3$ was encapsulated by shell PMMA due to having excellent dispersion in the epoxy resin, smooth surface distinctly from spindle shape, and broad particle distribution after the capsulation.

To obtain a higher dielectric constant material, we investigated Ca substitution for Pb in PbZrO3. In this study, the four mixtures of (Pb0.68Ca0.32)ZrO3, (Pb0.65Ca0.37)ZrO3, (Pb0.63Ca0.37)ZrO3, and (Pb0.60Ca0.40)ZrO3 were prepared by coprecipitation reaction of Pb(NO3)2, ZrOCl2, and CaCl2 with (NH4)2CO3 and NH4OH in aqueous solution. The (Pb1-xCax)ZrO3 with different x mole fractions (x=0.35, 0.37) showed not only high dielectric constant, but also high Q values and low temperature coefficient of the capacitance.

A $CaCO_3$-alginate beads system was developed for high cell density cultivation of Bifidobacterium longum and the cost-effective media were also screened. In batch process with $CaCO_3$, beads, two strains of B. longum showed both the highest viable cells and optical density in TPY medium, resulting in maximum optical density and viable cell counts of 12.40, $2.22{\times}10^10$ cfu/ml for B. longum ATCC 15707 and 13.71, $3.93{\times}10^10$ cfu/ml for B. longum HLC 3742. Released size distribution, according to $CaCO_3$-alginate bead size preparation, was smaller than others. These results were also examined by observing their morphology. The skim milk-based medium was most adequate to cultivate B. longum as the cheapest medium, and $10\%$ skim milk supplemented with $2\%$ glucose and $1\%$ yeast extract was a suitable medium, supporting the growth to $5.57{\times}10^10$ cfu/ml for ATCC 15707 and $6.82{\times}10^9$ cfu/ml for HLC 3742. During the long-term storage at $4^{\circ}C\;and\;-20{\circ}C$, B. longum cultivated with $CaCO_3$ beads had the highest stability. Consequently, $CaCO_3$-alginate beads buffer was found to be useful not only to cultivate B. longum but also to preserve cultures.

The various shape of calcium carbonate were prepared. For the preparation of the PP/$CaCO_3$ composite, these synthetic calcium carbonate(cubic, spheric and neddle type) and PP were mixed on a two roll mill and the mixture were pressed into plate. The effect of particle shape in the prepared composite on the crystallization temperature, heat of fusion, size of spherulite and mechanical properities were investigated. It was found that the former four were strongly influenced by that. When, especially, vaterite was mixed with PP, the size of spherulite was smaller and the degree of crystallinity was higher than others. Therefore, the tensile strength and Young's modulus were higher.

To remove tar and produce environment-friendly $H_2$, one of the promising routes is the sorption-enhanced steam reforming (SESR) process, in which the $CO_2$ sorbent is a key element. We prepared the $CO_2$ sorbents with $Ca_{12}Al_{14}O_{33}$ as carrier with various methods. Their characterizations were examined, and the sample prepared by solgel (SG) method showed the strongest CaO and $Ca_{12}Al_{14}O_{33}$ phases and the most excellent pore structure among all the samples. Then, a thermogravimetric experiment was conducted, and the results showed that the sample prepared by sol-gel (SG) method had the best $CO_2$ adsorption capacity and excellent long-term cyclic stability. Finally, the sorbent was used into the steam reforming experiments of tar. Under the action of the sorbent, the reforming reaction was enhanced in-situ, with the $H_2$ yield and concentration improved obviously, and especially, $H_2$ concentration can reach over 98.85%.

An aqueous solution of $Ca(OH)_2$ containing a small amount of dissolved $Sr(OH)_2$ was carbonated with $CO_2$ gas, and the effects of the reaction temperature and $Sr(OH)_2$ on the carbonation were investigated. The higher the reaction temperature and the larger the ratio of $Sr(OH)_2(aq)$ to $Ca(OH)_2(aq)$, which amounts to the larger the ratio of $OH^-$ to $CO_2(aq)$, the better pillar aragonite was formed. $Sr(OH)_2$ played an important role in the formation of pillar aragonite, because it is easily formed itself into rhombic $SrCO_3$ during the initial period of carbonation process and acting as a seed for the pillar aragonite of similar morphology. In addition, due to its substantially higher solubility compared with $Ca(OH)_2$, $OH^-$ concentration in the carbonation mixture and subsequently $CO_3^{2-}$ necessary for the crystal growth are increased.

In this study, divalent europium-activated $NaCaPO_4$ green phosphor powders were prepared by the chemical synthetic method followed by heat treatment in reduced atmosphere, and the crystal structures, morphologies and photoluminescent properties of the powders were investigated by x-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscope and spectrometer for the first time. The effects of Ca/P and Na/Ca mole ratios on the final products were also investigated. The influences of input amount change of europium as the activator on the light emission intensity were studied, and the resulting concentration quenching phenomenon was observed. The optimized synthesis conditions obtained in this study were Ca/P mole ratio 1.2, Na/Ca mole ratio 3.0 and 4 mole%Eu. The peak wavelength was 505 nm for all the samples. The result of excitation spectrum measurement indicated that the excitation efficiency was high for the long-wavelength UV region. It was thus concluded that the samples prepared in this study can be successfully applied for the light-emitting devices such as LED excited with long-wavelength UV light sources.

Preparation and heavy metal ion adsorption of sumicron hydroxy apatite were studied in this experiment. Submicron HAP was synthesized with Ca(OH)2 solution and H3PO4.Ca(OH)2 solution was made from water-quenching of CaCO3 heated at 1, 00$0^{\circ}C$ and 20%-H3PO4 was dropped into this Ca(OH)2 solution heated at 8$0^{\circ}C$. XRD pattern of prepared powder showed HAP crystal. The average particle size and sahpe of HAP were 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and sphere type. As a adsorbent, 1.0g of the prepared HAP powder in 1 liter of artifical 5ppm heavy matal waste water was sufficient, and more effective at pH7-9.
