Carbonation is one of major factors influencing on the durability of concrete structure. This paper investigates the effect of carbonation on the soundness of harbor concrete structure and quantifies the influence of carbonation based on in-situation data tested at 369 points in 69 harbor facilities. The relationships between carbonation depth and cover depth, and between carbonation depth and compressive strength are studied and the failure probability of durability, that is the initiation probability of steel corrosion, is evaluated on the basis of reliability concept. The in-situation test results showed that the ratio of carbonation depth to cover depth was less than 0.2, and the carbonation depth increased with age. In most cases, the failure probability of durability by carbonation was less than 10%. Therefore, it can be concluded that the influence of carbonation on the durability of harbor concrete structure is smaller than other factors deteriorating the durability of harbor concrete structure.

Lithium carbonate recovered from the waste solution generated during the lithium secondary battery manufacturing process contains heavy metals such as cobalt, nickel, and manganese. In this study, the recrystallization of lithium carbonate was performed to remove heavy metals contained in the powder and to increase the purity of lithium carbonate. First, the leaching efficiency of lithium carbonate according to pH in the aqueous hydrochloric acid solution was examined, and the effect on the recrystallization of lithium carbonate according to the equivalent and concentration of sodium carbonate was confirmed. As the equivalent and concentration of sodium carbonate increased, the recovery rate of lithium carbonate improved. And the SEM image showed that the crystal shape was changed depending on the reaction conditions with sodium carbonate. Finally, the high purity lithium carbonate of 99.9% or more was recovered by washing with water.

Crystallization of calcium carbonate was performed by using aqueous calcium chloride and sodium carbonate for operational simplicity. Reaction time, solute concentrations, pH, and organic additive were varied to get calcium carbonate crystals. Silk fibroin was used as the additive to understand the change of morphology of calcium carbonate crystal. The crystals were analyzed by FE-SEM, XRD, and FT-IR. Reaction time, and pH mainly affected the morphology of crystals. Besides, it was found that silk fibroin inhibited the formation of vaterite and promoted the calcite forms.

3종 복합소재인 양모와 나일론, 레이온의 염색공정은 먼저 알칼리 욕에서 반응성염료로 레이온을 염색한 후, 산성욕에서 산성염료로 양모와 나일론을 염색하는 것이 일반적이다. 그런데 양모, 나일론, 레이온은 알칼리에 민감하므로 면 염색 시 적용되는 강알칼리인 수산화나트륨을 사용하면 섬유의 취화로 인하여 강도와 촉감저하 등의 문제가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 알칼리 중 탄산나트륨과 중탄산나트륨을 사용하여 염료를 투입하지 않고 염색공정을 거친 후 백도와 인장강도를 측정하여 황변 및 강도 변화 여부를 알아보았다. 레이온 70%, 양모 19%, 나일론 11%의 혼용율을 가지는 전처리 된 편물(130$g/m^2$, 32 inch, 18 gauge)에 탄산나트륨(시약 1급) 20g/l과 중탄산나트륨(시약 1급) 20g/l 각각을 투입하고 반응성염색공정($60^{\circ}C$, 60 min)으로 처리한 경우와 반응성 염색 후 산성염색공정($98^{\circ}C$, 60 min)으로 처리한 경우로 나누어 측색을 통해 백도와 L, a, b값을 측정하고 KS K 0521에 따라 인장강도 시험을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 탄산나트륨 투입시 백도 값이 중탄산나트륨에 비해 10% 정도 낮아지고 L, a, b값도 상대적으로 yellow 방향으로 이동해 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 황변이 일어남을 의미하며 육안으로 확인하였다. 또한 인장강도 측정결과를 통해 소다회 처리 시 중조에 비해 30% 정도의 강도 저하가 일어남을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 반응성염색 후 산성염색을 거치게 되면 황변과 강도 저하 현상이 회복되는 경향을 나타내었다. 즉, 천연/나일론 편물을 반응성염색 시 알칼리로 탄산나트륨을 사용하면 염색공정 상에서 중탄산나트륨에 비해 황변이 일어나 염료 고유의 색상 발현에 영향을 줄 수 있고 강도 또한 30% 정도 저하되지만, 후에 산성염색 공정을 거치면 산 조건과 욕중 효과를 통해 일부 개선됨을 확인하였다. 이와 별도로 이번에는 시판되는 반응성염료 5종과 산성염료 3종을 조합하여 탄산나트륨과 중탄산나트륨 투입에 따른 염색실험을 실시하고 측색(DataColor SF600 광원D65, Strength)을 통해 염착량을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 중탄산나트륨으로 염색하면 탄산나트륨에 비해 모두 염착량이 저하되었으며, 염료의 구조적 차이와 컬러별로도 그 차이는 다양하였다. 그 중 저온에너지형 반응성염료는 탄산나트륨 투입에 비해 47~60% 정도로 가장 양호하였으며, 일부 반응성염료는 20%까지 떨어지는 값을 나타내었다. 이것은 탄산나트륨보다 중탄산나트륨의 알칼리 정도가 낮으므로 반응성염료의 염착이 적은 것으로 생각되며, 저에너지형 반응성염료의 경우에는 낮은 온도나 알칼리 조건에서도 상대적으로 높은 고착률을 나타내므로 적절한 반응성염료의 선택을 통해 그 차이를 극복할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 이상의 결과를 통해 탄산나트륨과 중탄산트륨의 알칼리 정도가 강도와 염착량에 미치는 영향의 차이를 고려하여 최적의 현장 처방을 선정해야 함을 알 수 있었다.

We prepared sodium carbonate impregnated activated carbon fiber and evaluated its availability for hydrogen sulfide removal by the comparison with the counterpart, sodium carbonate granular impregnated activated carbon. The sodium carbonate impregnated concentration and immersion duration were chosen as two primary parameters. First, the hydrogen sulfide adsorption capacity increased in proportion to the impregnated concentration up to 3 wt%, above which the sodium carbonate impregnated amount rarely showed an increase due to the pore filling effect for both cases. The optimal impregnated concentration was thus set to 3 wt%. Meanwhile, impregnated activated carbon fiber required only half of the immersion duration compared with granular impregnated activated carbon, while showing a 30% increase on the hydrogen sulfide removal capacity. The greater specific area of impregnated activated carbon fiber explained it. In conclusion, we evaluated advantage of preparation time and improved hydrogen sulfide adsorption capacity by impregnate sodium carbonate, which is capable of reacting with hydrogen sulfide chemically, onto the activated carbon fiber with improved specific area.

We investigated the variation of $CaCO_3$ contents in cores PC1 and PC2 recovered from the continental slope area of the Ulleung Basin in the East Sea. $CaCO_3$ contents of cores PC1 and PC2 varied between 0.6 and 17.2% and between 0.3 and 43.0%, respectively. $CaCO_3$ contents in the upper part of core PC1 corresponding to MIS 1 are less than 5%, whereas those in the lower part of MIS 2 are more than 10%. Such variation of $CaCO_3$ contents in core PC1 confirms the previous results of $CaCO_3$ studies in the East Sea. In core PC2, $CaCO_3$ contents of the upper part are similar to those of core PC1. However, $CaCO_3$ contents in the lower part of core PC2 are more than 40%. According to XRD operation and SEM examination, the high $CaCO_3$ contents in the lower part of core PC2 are more attributable to the authigenic carbonate minerals rather than the biogenic carbonate composition. Such abundant authigenic carbonate minerals are closely related to the dissociation of methan hydrates which were observed in the Ulleung Basin.

Generally $NiSO_4$ and $NiCl_2$ were used as raw materials for producing nickel carbonate. In the case of the produced nickel carbonate, $Na_2SO_4$ and NaCl are generated on the surface and inside of the nickel carbonate to decrease the purity of the nickel carbonate. High purity nickel carbonate can be produced according to the degree of removal of such impurities. In this study, $NiCl_2$ produced by nickel MHP solvent extraction process was used to study the production of nickel carbonate. High purity nickel carbonate was prepared by the conditions according to the nickel salt and carbonate equivalence ratio, the reduction of Na and Cl in nickel carbonate according to the washing of nickel carbonate, and the reduction of Na and Cl according to the washing water temperature.

Carbonation is one of the most critical deterioration phenomena to concrete structures exposed to high $CO_2$ concentration, sheltered from rain. Lots of researches have been performed on evaluation of carbonation depth and changes in hydrate compositions, however carbonation modeling is limitedly carried out due to complicated carbonic reaction and diffusion coefficient. This study presents a simplified carbonation model considering diffusion coefficient, solubility of $Ca(OH)_2$, porosity reduction, and carbonic reaction rate for low concentration. For verification, accelerated carbonation test with varying temperature and MIP (Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry) test are carried out, and carbonation depths are compared with those from the previous and the proposed model. Field data with low $CO_2$ concentration is compared with those from the proposed model. The proposed model shows very reasonable results like carbonation depth and consuming $Ca(OH)_2$ through reduced diffusion coefficient and porosity compared with the previous model.

Carbonation is the results of the interaction of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere with the alkaline hydroxides in the concrete. Reinforced steel corrosion due to concrete carbonation is one of main factors on the decrease in durability of RC structure. This study investigates the influence of carbonation on the bridges under various environment condition and quantifies the effect of carbonation various domestic field data. The failure probability of durability is evaluated on the basis of reliability concept. In addition, service life of the structures is predicted based on the intended probability of durable failure in domestic concrete specification. According to experimental results of the carbonation depth, the carbonation depth increased with structural age. It is analyzed that carbonation velocity of the structures under urban area and sea condition is 1.6-1.9 times faster than the river condition. Service life of the bridges under urban area and sea condition is decreased about 2.4-3.3 times than river condition.

The effect of $CO_2$-treatment on interrupting diapause of Bombus ignitus was examined to provide a means for year-round rearing of the bumblebee. When mated young queens were exposed to 65% or 99% $CO_2$ for 30 min daily during two consecutive days, oviposition rate increased to 75% and 77%, respectively, comparing 50% in $CO_2$-untreated queens. At the same time, the days needed to first oviposition shortened to 17-18 days in $CO_2$-treated queens, comparing to 30 days in $CO_2$-untreated queens. $CO_2$-treatment at the second day after mating was appropriate to the oviposition and colony development. $CO_2$-treatment showed a positive effect on the oviposition and colony development, but less than them of overwintered queen in numbers of produced progeny. It can be concluded that $CO_2$-treatment to B. ignitus is insufficient to produce commercial grade bumblebee colony in spite of its capability for promoting oviposition, because the treatment failed to form a big colony.
