The purpose of this study was performed to investigate the optimum conditions of pH, concrete sludge, seed dosage, mixing intensity, operation time in treating fluoride-containing wastewater as $CaF_2$ using the ready-mixed concrete sludge. Considering fluoride removal, water content, that pH 6, concrete sludge dosage of 10 g/L, Seed dosage ($CaF_2$) of 2 g/L, mixing intensity of 100 rpm and operation time of 60 min were found to be optimum. Correspondingly, removal of fluoride and water content was about 85% and 64%, respectively. Increase in amount of seed dosage did not affect fluoride removal efficiency. but the result that the water content is decreased was shown up in occuring the solid-liquid separation well.

Porous pseudo-boehmite gel was prepared through the aging process of amorphous aluminum hydroxides gel precipitated by the hydrolysis reaction of dilute NaOH solution and AlCl$_3$ solution. In this study, the synthesis method was studied on porous pseudo-boehmite gel having maximum pore volume, as being investigated the changes of crystal structure, infrared rays absorption spectrum, BET surface area and pore structure when the hydrolysis reaction is controlled in the range of pH 7.6~11.6 and the aging process is hold up for 2~24 h at 60~10$0^{\circ}C$. We could find that the gel precipitates deposited in in range of pH 7.6~9.6 were developed into porous pseudo-boehmite which surface area was 250~357 $m^2$/g, pore volume was 0.4~0.7 cc/g and average pore size was 58~l14$\AA$. However, the gel precipitates deposited in range of pH 10.6~11.6 were developed into bayerite which pore volume was very little.

The passive treatment was required a large area for the treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD), and pollutants were discharged with mine drainage by the increased flow rate in summer. This study was performed to improve the turbidity and to precipitate the pollutants quickly using coagulants and flocculants in AMD of abandoned mine sites that were difficult to build the passive treatment system. The coagulant PAC (Poly aluminium chloride) and flocculant PAM (Polyacrylamide) were selected to improve turbidity in W mine waters. We also tested the particle size analysis, ICP-OES and/or SEM-EDS for water and sludge samples.

The objective of this study is to efficiently recover phosphorus contained in sewage sludge by a struvite-forming method. The performances were evaluated under various operating conditions(elution with the kind of acid, Mg-compound and temperature) in order to reach the optimum conditions of struvite-forming. As a result, as an elution solution, the elution efficiency of $H_2SO_4$ was 2.65 times higher than that of HCl. Also, the precipitation efficiency of struvite was the highest (97.4%) in case of using $MgCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O$ as Mg-compounds at $25^{\circ}C$. However, the side reaction by Fe, Al and Zn appeared in process of phosphorus recovery. To solve some problems caused by side reacton, large quantities of co-precipitation materials produced by side reaction were removed by precipitating phosphorus compounds in pH 7. Consequently, the recovery efficiency of phosphorus by a struviteforming method was 82.99%, and purity of the recovered struvite product was high.

저온균일침전법(HPPLT)으로 제조된 TiO$_2$나노분말은 10$0^{\circ}C$이하의 온도에서 rutile상을 얻을 수 있다. 또한, rutile에서 anatase로의 상변화는 합성시간, 가열속도, 반응온도 그리고 음이온 첨가에 의해 일어난다고 보고되어졌지만, 금속양이온들에 의한 상변화는 알려진 바가 없다. 따라서, 다양한 양이온을 첨가하여 저온균일침전법에서 TiO$_2$의 상변화가 어떻게 일어나는지를 조사하였다. 출발원료인 TIC1$_4$를 사용하여 가수분해하여 0.67M의 TiOCl$_2$을 얻었다. 얻어진 TiOCl$_2$ 수용액에 각각 0.01M의 금속염화물(ZrOCl$_2$, NiCl$_2$, CuCl$_2$, FeCl$_3$, AlCl$_3$ 그리고 NbCl$_{5}$)을 첨가한 후 반응기에 넣고 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 4시간동안 가열하였다 가열한 후 얻어진 침전물에 NaOH 수용액을 이용하여 PH 7-8로 중화한 후 증류수로 Cl$^{-}$이온이 제거될 때까지 충분히 세척하였다. 세척된 침전물을 105$^{\circ}C$에서 24h동안 건조하여 분말을 얻었고, rutile에서 anatase로의 상변화특성을 관찰하기 위하여 XRD, SEM, TEM, ICP 분석을 실시하였다.

We scaled up a covalent immobilization system of urokinase to the activated Sepharose and used it repeatedly to cleave a fusion protein consisting of human growth hormone and GST fragment. After scale up from 6 ml to 250 ml, the column system still demonstrated basically the same performance in terms of urokinase immobilization and fusion protein cleavage. When the column was washed with 6M guanidine HCl after the cleavage reaction. the immobilized urokinase showed no activity probably because it was fully unfolded. However. as the denaturant was gradually removed from the column the immobilized urokinase fully regained its bioactivity. which indicated it was properly refolded into its native conformation as covalently attached to the solid matrix. After 20 cycles of this 'solid-phase unfolding/refolding', the immobilized urokinase maintained approx. 80% of the initial bioactivity. This method provides an efficient protocol to apply the solid-phase refolding technique to improve the longevity of immobilized enzyme columns.

Amorphous aluminium phosphate powders were synthesized as a single phase by neutralization reaction of a stoichiometric mixture of $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ and $H_3PO_4$ using the NaOH or KOH solution and subsequently by the hydrothermal precipitation method. The synthesis conditions were as follows : starting materials; $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ and $H_3PO_4$,pH ranges of neutralization reaction; between 5.6 and 6.0, temperature ranges of hydrothermal reaction; between 170 and $180^{\circ}C$,time ranges of hydrothermal reaction; between 4 and 5hs. Under such synthesis conditions, the products are obtained as amorphous aluminium phosphate powders of 0.1~0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$ in size and are Eitted to USP (United Standard Pharmacopoeia) test.

Long-term degradation of coment barrier by diffusion was studied with reactive transport modeling. The result of modeling showed that cement barrier was altered about 30cm thickness after 50,000 years. The pH decreased from 13.0 to 11.9 because of depletion of alkali ions, and dissolution/precipitation of portlandite and CSH (Calcium Silicate Hydrate). In addition, porosity increased about 0.3 because of dissolution of portlandite and $CSH2.0(Ca_2SiO_3(OH)_2:0.17H_2O)$. The solubility of uranium also increased with the increase of pe value The results of this study indicate that long-term degradation of comet can enhance the transport of nuclide by changing pH, pe, porosity in barrier.

Indium hydroxide powder was prepared by precipitation method. The reaction temperature ($150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$) and the holding time at each reaction temperature (1~72 h) were used as experimental variables. The particle size, microstructure and crystal phase of each prepared powder were observed through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscope (FE-TEM) and BET. In this study, we investigated the phase and microstructural change induced by heat treatment of indium hydroxide nanoparticles at various temperatures for different holding times.

Struvite의 최적 생성조건은 NH$_4$-N의 초기농도에 관계없이 모두 NH$_4^+$, PO$_4^{3-}$ 및 Mg$^{2+}$가 등몰비이고 pH 10.5이었다. Struvite 침전반응에서 NH$_4$-N 및 PO$_4$-P 제거율에 미치는 struvite seeding 효과는 습윤상태의 struvite를 seeding할 경우 그 효과가 거의 없었으나 건조된 struvite를 seeding할 경우 NH$_4$-N의 제거율은 증가되지만 PO$_4$-P의 제거율은 감소되는 경향을 나타냈다. 이는 건조과정에서 struvite의 NH$_4$-N가 휘산되어 소실되었기 때문이다. Mg와 P원으로서 struvite의 재이용을 위한 적정 건조온도는 100$^{\circ}C$ 이하였으며 그 이상 온도에서는 struvite가 $NH_4MgPO_4\cdot6H_2O$형에서 MgPO$_4$형으로 상전이점에 따라 struvite seeding에 의한 NE$_4$-N의 제거율이 현저히 감소되었다. 건조된 struvite는 초기 NH$_4$-N의 몰농도 대비 50%를 seeding할 경우 60% 이상의 NH$_4$-N를 제거하였으며, seeding량을 150%로 증가시킬 경우 90% 이상의 NH$_4$-N 제거율을 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 struvite를 반복 재사용할 경우 재사용 횟수에 비례하여 NH$_4$-N의 제거율은 감소하는 경향을 보여 재사용 횟수가 제한적임을 알 수 있었다.
