Sulfur-Iodine (SI) cycle, which thermochemically splits water to hydrogen and oxygen through three stages of Bunsen reaction, HI decomposition, and $H_2SO_4$ decomposition, seems a promising process to produce hydrogen massively. Among them, the decomposition of $H_2SO_4$ ($H_2SO_4=H_2O+SO_2+1/2O_2$) requires high temperature heat over $800^{\circ}C$ such as the heat from concentrated solar energy or a very high temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor. Because of harsh reaction conditions of high temperature and pressure with extremely corrosive reactants and products, there have been scarce and limited number of data reported on the pressurized $H_2SO_4$ decomposition. This work focuses whether the $H_2SO_4$ decomposition can occur at high pressure in a noble-metal reactor, which possibly resists corrosive acidic chemicals and possesses catalytic activity for the reaction. Decomposition reactions were conducted in a Pt-lined tubular reactor without any other catalytic species at conditions of $800^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$ and 0 bar (ambient pressure) to 10 bar with 95 wt% $H_2SO_4$. The Pt-lined reactor was found to endure the corrosive pressurized condition, and its inner surface successfully carried out a catalytic role in decomposing $H_2SO_4$ to $SO_2$ and $O_2$. This preliminary result has proposed the availability of noble metal-lined reactors for the high temperature, high pressure sulfuric acid decomposition.

1) electron-microprobe를 응용하여 $CaO-SiO_2-Al_2O_3$ 계에서 생성한 $C_2S$, $C_3S$ 에 존재하는 sulfate의 solid, solution을 정량적으로 구할 수 있었으며 이 결과로 $C_2S$ 에 $Al_2O_3$, $SO_3$ 등이 solid soln 등으로 침적되고 이들이 $C_3S$의 생성을 억제한다는 mechanism이 확인되었다. 2) phase equilibrium(상평형)에 의하면 $Na_2SO_4$, $K_2SO_4$는 mineralizer로서 작용하며 $C_3S$ 의 생성을 돕는다. 그러나 $K_2SO_4$ 와 $Al_2SO_3$ 가 결합상태로 존재할 경우는 1,400 $^{\circ}C$에서 광범위한 liquid를 생성하며 quenching하면 glass질과 $\beta-C_2S$ 만이 얻어지고 $C_3S$ 는 생성되지 않는다. 또 이를 1,250 $^{\circ}C$ 까지 서냉하면 $C_2S$ 와 Ca, K, Al, S, 등을 함유한 새로운 물질이 생성된다. 3) $CaO-SiO_2-Al_2O_3-Fe_2O_3$ 계에서 $C_3S$ 의 생성에 미치는 $Na_2SO_4$, $K_2SO_4$ 의 영향을 실험실적으로 검토한 결과 complex interaction이 확인되었으며 $Na_2SO_4$ 는 어떤 경우에는 mineralizing effect를 상실한다는 재미 있는 사실이 발견되었다.

The corrosion behavior of aluminum alloys in the $H_2SO_4$ solution was investigated based on potentiodynamic techniques. Electrochemical properties, such as corrosion potential($E_c$), passive potential($E_p$), corrosion current density($I_c$), corrosion rate(mpy), of Al-Mg-Si, Al-Cu-Si and Al-Si alloys were characterized at room temperature. Passive aluminum oxide film, which including $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ and $3Al_2O_34SO_38H_2O$, were uniformly formed on the surface via the reaction of Al with $SO{_3}^{2-}$ or $SO{_4}^{2-}$ ions in the $H_2SO_4$ solution and the dependence of the corrosion behavior on the alloying element was discussed. The selective leaching of alloy element increased with increasing Cu content in the aluminum alloys.

In this study a comparative investigation for the effect of $K_2SO_4$ and $CaSO_4$ on the decomposition of $C_3S$ was made. When pure $C_3S$ which was synthesized in the laboratory was mixed with $K_2SO_4$ and oxides such as MgO $Al_2O_3$ and $Fe_2O_3$ and then reburned at the temperature range between 135$0^{\circ}C$ and 145$0^{\circ}C$ no decompo-sition occurred, But when $CaSO_4$ and $Fe_2O_3$ were added to $C_3S$ and then reburned at below 130$0^{\circ}C$ $C_3S$ was partly decomposed to $C_2S$and CaO composing $2C_2S$.$CaSO_4$ When $CaSO_4$ and $Al_2O_3$were added $C_3S$ was entirely decomposed to $C_2S$ and CaO at 1300~140$0^{\circ}C$ but it was not decomposed at 145$0^{\circ}C$.

The electrochemical corrosion behaviors of SA106 Grade B (SA106B) carbon steel in H₂SO₄4-N₂H₄ and H₂SO₄-N₂H₄-CuSO₄ solutions at 95 ℃ have been investigated with the addition of commercial corrosion inhibitors (CI#30 and No. 570S), to determine the stability of SA106B in the hydrazine-based reductive metal ion decontamination (HyBRID) process. The potentiodynamic polarization experiment revealed that the corrosion inhibitors were capable of lowering the corrosion rate of SA106B in H₂SO₄-N₂H₄ solution. It was found that the corrosion inhibitors induced formation of fixed surface layer on the carbon steel upon the corrosion. This corrosion inhibition performance was reduced in the presence of CuSO₄ in the solution owing to the chemical reactions between organic compounds in the corrosion inhibitors and CuSO₄. CI#30 showed a better corrosion inhibition effect in the H₂SO₄-N₂H₄-CuSO₄ solution. Although the corrosion inhibitors can provide better stability to SA106B in the HyBRID solution, their application should be carefully considered because it may result in reduced decontamination performance and increased secondary waste generation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of heating times of soy protein isolate(SPI) and mixing ratio of coagulants mixture on water holding capacity(WHC) and oil absorption capacity (OAC) of SPI, texture properties and yield of tofu. The effect of heating at $100^{\circ}C$ on the amounts of coagulants required for coagulation showed that the amounts of $CaCl_{2},\;MgCl_{2}$ and GDL decreased as the heating time extended to $6{\sim}9$ minutes while $CaSO_{2}$ was changed little. The tofu yield showed maximum for the tofu prepared by 6 minutes boiling and coagulation with $CaSO_{4}$. The WHC of SPI was significantly reduced by heating at $100^{\circ}C$ while OAC was rather increased until 9 minutes of heating. The textural properties of SPI tofu coagulated with mixed coagulants$(CaSO_{4}-GDL,\;CaSO_{4}-CaCl_{2},\;CaCl_2-GDL)$ showed that softer tofu was obtained as the ratio of $CaSO_{2}$ increased and harder tofu as the ratio of $CaCl_{2}$ and GDL increased. The maximum and minimum tofu yields were prepared from 100% of $CaSO_{2}$ and 100% of GDL, respectively. Organoleptic properties showed that more uniform and tender tofu were obtained with higher portion of $CaSO_{2}$ in the mixed coagulants and higher intensity of sourness and bitterness were scored as the GDL and $CaCl_{2}$ added more.

This study was carried out to investigate the chemical characteristics ol rainwater sampled in Cheju City from July 1994 to June 1996. Concentrations of major ions (Cl-,$SO_4^{2-}$, NO_3^-$, $Na^+$, $K^+$, Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$ and NH_4^+$) were determined. The pH of rainwater, calculated from the volume weighted H+ concentration, was found to be 5.61, indicating extensive neutralization of the acidity in the rain. The relative magnitude of average ionic concentrations followed the relation Cl-> $SO_4^{2-}$) $Na^+$> Ca^{2+}$> NH_4^+$> NO_3^-$> $Mg^{2+}$> $K^+$. The ions associated with sea salt, namely $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$, dominated the total concentration of ions in the rainwater and the $SO_4^{2-}$ ion accounts for 20% of total concentration. [H+][nss-SO42-+NO3] ratio and a multiple regression for $SO_4^{2-}$ and NO3- ions against $H^+$, $Ca^{2+}$ and $NH_4^+$ suggested that all of $SO_4^{2-}$ and $NO_3^-$ in rainwater was not necessarily associated with $H_2SO_4$ and $HNO_3$, but might also occur in combination with $NH_4^+$ or Ca^{2+}$. The monthly mean concentrations of $SO_4^{2-}$-, Ca^{2+}$ and $NH_4^+$ in spring time was higher than those in other seasons. These results may De attributed to the fertilizer application as the local sources and the yellow sand phenomina as a regional-scale sources.

This study was conducted to obtain the basic information on the application of S-fertilizer in the cultivating soil of Garlic. The distributions of cation and anion according to the soil depth in paddy field were examined. The average $SO_4{^{-2}}$ contents of surface and subsoil were 72.1 ppm and 45.1 ppm in paddy soils, and 53.1 ppm and 19.5 ppm in upland soils, respectively. In paddy soils, the contents of $SO_4{^{-2}}$ showed a positive correlation to the contents of organic matter, total nitrogen, exchangeable K, Ca, Mg and Fe. Whereas in upland soils, the contents of $SO_4{^{-2}}$ showed a positive correlation to the contents of organic matter and total nitrogen in surface soils. The exchangeable Ca and Mg contents were found to be higher with soil depth, however, the K contents was found to become very low. The $SO_4{^{-2}}$ contents was found to be higher with soil depth, indicating that $SO_4{^{-2}}$ should be leached from surface soils by percolated water.
