Carbonation of concrete is being occurred due to interaction of atmospheric carbon dioxide with hydroxides. Reinforce concrete (RC) structure is getting collapse or accident due to corrosion of embedded steel rebar. The maintenance of reinforced concrete structure recently has the attention of researchers regarding durability of structure and its importance day by day is increasing. In order to study the carbonation progress of pre-repaired concrete, present study was carried out to measure the carbonation velocity for different repair materials up to 100% of carbonation. The obtained results have predicted the carbonation progress of repair materials in service condition. These results have been verified by FEM and FDM analysis. As a result, the carbonation depth can be predicted by using the carbonation prediction formula after the repair, and the analytical and the experimental values are almost similar when the initial $Ca(OH)_2$ concentration is assumed to be 40%.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the carbon capture capacity of various inorganic materials. For this purpose, the change in property of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), blast furnace slag fine powder (GGBS), and circulating fluidized bed boiler ash (CFBC) due to carbonation were analyzed. Carbonation curing was performed on all specimens through the accelerated carbonation experiment, and the amount of carbon capture was quantitatively analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis according to the age of carbonation. From the results, it is confirmed that the carbon capture capacity was shown in all specimens. The carbon capture amount was shown in the order of CFBC, OPC, and GGBS. The 28-day carbon capture of CFBC, OPC, and GGBS was 3.9%, 1.3%, and 9.4%, respectively. Carbon capture reaction occurred rapidly at the beginning of carbonation, and occurred slowly with increasing age. SEM image analysis revealed that an additional product generated by carbonation curing in all specimens was calcium carbonate.

In this study, Long-term test specimens were tested in the outdoor exposure environment and the carbonation properies of concrete were analyzed. The test specimens were manufactured in 40 %, 50 % and 60 % according to the w/c ratio. Carbonation was measured at 3 years and 15 years of age. Based on the results, long-term carbonation prediction models(KICT model) were derived. As a result, carbonation increased according to the w/c. Based on the w/c 40 %, w/c 50 % increased about 1.8 times and w/c 60 % increased about 3.7 times. Comparison of carbonation according to age was that the carbonation at 15^th year was about 3 times higher that of 3^rd year. As results of comparing the KICT models and other carbonation prediction models, the carbonation prediction showed different values.

비만과의 전쟁을 선포한 미국에서 탄산음료 퇴출 붐이 일고 있다. 미국은 지난 2005년부터 모든 공립학교에 탄산음료 판매를 금지시킨 것도 모자라 이제는 대도시 공공장소 판매도 규제하겠다고 나선 것. 당장 뉴욕과 LA가 입법화를 추진하고 나섰다. 다른 도시로도 이런 움직임이 확산이 된다면 미국 청량음료 업계는 비상이 아닐 수 없다. 탄산음료를 파는 청량음료자판기도 칼럼 배치를 다시 해야 한다. 인기를 끌던 탄산음료를 팔지 못하게 되면 이용률 저하가 뻔하다.

In this study, the crystallization of neodymium carbonate from neodymium chloride solution by addition of ammonium bicarbonate was investigated. The concentration of reactants such as neodymium chloride and ammonium bicarbonate, and reaction temperature play an important part in order to obtain the crystal of neodymium carbonate. It seemed that amorphous neodymium carbonate was prepared by aggregation of primary particles formed through nucleation. If reaction rate was increased by increasing the concentration of reactants and reaction temperature, then neodymium carbonate crystal could be obtained. Lanthanite-type neodymium carbonate[$Nd_2(CO_3)_3{\cdot}8H_2O$] and tengerite-type neodymium carbonate[$Nd_2(CO_3)_3{\cdot}2.5H_2O$] could be obtained with reaction renditions. Lanthanite-type neodymium carbonate was sensitive to temperature. The thermal decomposition of neodymium carbonate contained the processes or dehydration, decarbonation and crystalization of $Nd_2O_3$. The shape of lanthanite-type neodymium carbonate was irregular lump type, and tengerite-type neodymium carbonate had the shape of needle type. The shape of $Nd_2O_3$ was affected by the shape of neodymium carbonate.

Amorphous calcium carbonate was prepared by wet chemical method and performed the control of their shape using crystalline calcium carbonate that prepared from oyster shell by the $CO_2$ gas blowing method. As a result, amorphous calcium carbonate was obtained by the dissolution process of crystalline calcium carbonate in the dil-HC1 solution, mixing of sodium carbonate solution, precipitation and filtering with high speed. And using the amorphous calcium carbonate of mud type, crystalline calcium carbonates with cubic, needle, spindle, spherical and plate shape were obtained in the temperature rang of 2~$85^{\circ}C$ and reaction time range of 5~60 minute.

In this article, we would like to investigate a durability characterization of cement mortar with inert filler, which is ground calcium carbonate(GCC). The kinds of techniques to evaluate cement mortar are chloride ion ingress, carbonation and sulfate attack. For the experimental result of the resistance of chloride ion ingress, carbonation and sulfate attack, as the addition of GCC makes decreasing the permeability by micro-filler effect, the specimens of $5{\sim}15%$ ratio of replacement are superior to the GCC0 mortar specimen with respect to durability of cement matrix in this scope.

Reinforced steel corrosion due to concrete carbonation is one of main factors on the durability of RC structure. The carbonation velocity have an effect on carbon dioxide density, concrete quality and structural shape. Specially, these problems have increased in urban area. This study investigates the carbonation status of the bridges and quantifies the effect of carbonation based on various domestic field data. The failure probability of durability is evaluated on the basis of reliability concept. According to experimental results of the carbonation depth, the carbonation depth increased with structural age and carbonation velocity decreased with high strength of concrete. In most cases, the failure probability of durability by carbonation was more than 10%. Also, The results requires the minimum cover thickness of 70-80mm for target safety index(${\beta}$=1.3) proposed by Korean concrete specification.

In this study, the crystallization of cerium carbonate from cerium chloride solution by addition of ammonium bicarbonate was investigated. The concentration of reactants such as cerium chloride(0.5-2M) and ammonium bicarbonate, and reaction temperature($20-60^{\circ}C$) have a great effect on the crystal types of cerium carbonate such as lanthanite-type cerium carbonate[$Ce_2(CO_3)_3{\cdot}8H_2O$] and tengerite-type cerium carbonate[$Ce_2(CO_3)_3{\cdot}2.5H_2O$]. The crystallinity of cerium carbonate changed from lanthanite to tengerite as the concentration of reactants and reaction temperature increased. Transformation of cerium carbonate hydrate was transformed to cerium hydroxy carbonate depended on the drying conditions. Cerium carbonate of lanthanite and tengerite has the shape of aggregates with plate type crystal, and the size of lanthanite and tengerite crystal was $3{\mu}m$ and $5{\mu}m$, respectively. Cerium hydroxy carbonate has the shape of aggregates with needle type crystal, and the crystal size was about $7{\mu}m$.
