Abstract The growth and dissolution behaviour of reaction phase was studied during dissolution reaction between sintered alumina and $CaMgSiO_4$ at $1600^{\circ}C$ for various times. The formation of $CaO{\cdot}6Al_2O_3$ an intermediate reaction phase, and $CaMgSiO_4$ spinel, the final reaction product were observed during dissolution reaction of alumina into $CaMgSiO_4$ liquid phase. The growth and dissolution shape of $CaO{\cdot}6Al_2O_3$, an intermediate phase, was quite different.

For the application of environment conscious glass-fertilizer, dissolution characteristics of phosphate glass was investigated. In 0.1K₂O-0.1SiO₂-0.6P₂O/sub 5/ glass system, the compositions were designed according to variation of CaO & MgO contents, and glass formation region was confirmed. From the glass composition, the confirmed glasses were investigated to figure out thermal and dissolution properties. It was detected that glass transition & softening temperature of the glasses increased with increasing MgO contents. The dissolution properties of the glasses was affected by CaO and MgO content ratio.

High-resolution Solid-state NMR provides element specific and quantitative information and also resolves, otherwise overlapping atomic configurations in multi-component non-crystalline silicates. Here we report the preliminary results on the effect of composition on the structure of CMAS (CaO-MgO-$Al_2O_3-SiO_2$) silicate glasses, as a model system for basaltic magmas, using the high-resolution 1D and 2D solid-state NMR. The $^{27}Al$ MAS NMR spectra for the CMAS silicate glasses show that four-coordinated Al is predominant, demonstrating that $Al^{3+}$ is network forming cation. The peak position moves toward lower frequency about 4.7 ppm with increasing $X_{MgO}$ due to an increase in $Q^4$(4Si) fraction with increasing Si content, indicating that Al are surrounded only by bridging oxygen. $^{17}O$ MAS NMR spectra for $CaAl_2SiO_6$ and $CaMgSi_2O_6$ glasses qualitatively suggest that NBO fraction in the former is smaller than that in $CaMgSi_2O_6$ glasses. As $^{17}O$ 3QMAS NMR spectrum of model quaternary aluminosilicate glass resolved distinct bridging and non-bridging oxygen environments, atomic structure for natural magmas can also be potentially probed using high-resolution 3QMAS NMR.

A phase transformation study on a synthetic amorphous diopside, $(Ca,Mg)SiO_3$has been carried out up to ∼30 GPa, and ∼$1000^{\circ}C$ using a diamond anvil cell and YAG laser heating system, respectively. A starting amorphous material shows a direct transition to cubic $(Ca,Mg)SiO_3$perovskite at high pressure, which contradicts to the crystalline diopside phase transformation sequence disproportionating into mixtures of the orthorhombic$ MgSiO_3$perovskite and the cubic $CaSiO_3$perovskite phases. This discrepancy might be due to the different starting materials as well as the temperature variations at each specific experiment performed. The present phase transfor mation sequence would modify the mineralogical assemblage in the Earth transition region and the lower mantle depending upon the pressure, temperature and the oxygen partial pressure.

In order to develop economical production process from metallurgical grade silicon(MG-Si) to solar grade(SOG-Si), removal of boron by slag treatment was investigated at 1823 K using CaO-$SiO_2$ based slags. In the present study boron removal ratio in CaO-$SiO_2$ stags and $CaCO_3-SiO_2$ slags were increased to 63% and 73% respectively with slag basicity (%CaO/$%SiO_2$). However, bubbling time with Ar gas of slag and metal was not affected on removal ratio of boron. The addition of $Na_2CO_3$ to CaO-$SiO_2$ slags did not improve the removal ratio of boron from molten silicon. Boron contend was decreased from 20.6 ppm to 1.03 ppm by three times treatment using $CaCO_3-SiO_2$ slag (basicity=1.2).

The reactivity of three kinds of spinels which CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 slag was investigated in terms of mineral phases and microstructures. New crystal products were not formed by reaction of 12CaO.7Al2O3 in the slag with spinels and free MgO components was preferenctially dissolved into slag for MgO-rich spinel and stoichiometric spinel. Meanwhile mineral phase was changed from 12CaO.7Al2O3 to CaO.Al2O3 to CaO.2Al2O3 finally to CaO.6Al2O3 having high melting point for Al2O3 -rich spinel. The Fe-oxide component of the slag was taken up by only stoichiometric spinel grains within the spinel clinker and the trapped amount of Fe-oxide was independent of MgO content of MgO in spinel clinker the more th resistance to slag corrosion but the less resistance to slag penetration.

The effect of different source silicon ($CaSiO_3$, $K_2SiO_3$, and $NaSiO_3$) and their application methods (foliar application and subirrigation) on the growth of potted kalanchoe was investigated. Rooted terminal cuttings of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana 'Peperu' were transplanted into 10.5 cm plastic pots containing a commercial growing medium. Then, a nutrient solution, containing 0 or $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ Si as $K_2SiO_3$, $Na_2SiO_3$, or $CaSiO_3$ and adjusted to EC 1.4-$1.6mS{\cdot}cm^{-1}$ and pH 6.0, was supplied through subirrigation along with the nutrient solution or by a foliar application. Plants were grown in a glasshouse under a mean temperature of $23^{\circ}C$ and RH of 70-80%. After 12 weeks of cultivation, plant growth characteristics and leaf tissue contents of P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, S, and Si were measured. Both subirrigational supply and foliar application of Si decreased the plant height and flower stem length. However, the plant condition in the foliar application resulted in disease-like soft rot on the leaf. Among three silicon sources tested, $CaSiO_3$ supplied through a subirrigation system increased shoot tissue contents of Si and chlorophyll as compared to the $Na_2SiO_3$ or $K_2SiO_3$ treatment. Shoot tissue contents of Ca, K, and Na increased when the plant was supplied with $CaSiO_3$, $K_2SiO_3$, and $Na_2SiO_3$, respectively. Subirrigational supply of $K_2SiO_3$ and $NaSiO_3$ decreased the shoot tissue contents of Ca and Mg, and K and Ca, respectively. Therefore, $CaSiO_3$ supplied through a subirrigation system could improve plant quality of kalanchoe 'Peperu' making compact potted plants.

The retarding effects of MgSiF6.6H2O on the hydration of portland cement were studied. The setting time, flow value and compressive strength of mortar were measured and the mechanism of retardation was also studied by ion concentration in solution, SEM, BET, and X-ray diffraction. The results are as follows ; 1. Setting time was delayed by the addition of MgSiF6.6H2O. 2. The flow value of mortar decreases depending upon the amount of MgSiF6.6H2O. 3. The compressive strength was almost same or some increase on 28 days hydration. 4. The main retardation mechanism of MgSiF6 on the hydration of portland cement may be explained by the following hypothesis. MgSiF6 depressing the Ca++ and K+ ion concentration of cement paste solution be-cause of the recrystalization of K2SiF6 and CaF2 phase. The new products of K2SiF6 and CaF2 deposit on the surface of unhydrated cement powder and harzard the mass transfer through these layer. The low con-centration of Ca++, K+ ion in solution was decreasing the hydration rate of portland cement.
