We have studied microwave extraction process of boric acid from one of calcium borate ores, colemanite. Calcium and boron have separated by addition of sulfuric acid, and calcium has been separated out as calcium sulfate. It was possible to extract boron with the smaller amount of sulfuric acid and with short heating time in microwave heating compared to conventional heating process. The products of boric acid was the same purity and thermal characteristic, but smaller in particle size.

기존의 연구는 열화에 의한 물리적 평가 및 열화에 영향을 미치는 수화생성물의 존재여부에 대한 연구는 활발하게 이루어지고 있으나, 그에 따른 수화생성물의 정량화에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문은 XRD 분석 기법을 이용하여 원전 콘크리트 구조물에 대해 열화요인 중 탄산화와 황산염에 대한 상대적 정량화에 대한 연구를 실시하였다. 두 열화인자는 콘크리트 내의 수산화칼슘과 반응하여 에트린가이트와 탄산칼슘을 생성하게 되는데, 본 연구에서 열화인자에 대한 노출기간이 증가할수록 열화에 영향을 미치는 수화 생성물이 증가하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그에 따른 수산화칼슘의 양이 감소하는 것도 확인 할 수 있었다.

In this paper, effects of the acidification of ground and the chemical additive materials-ferric oxide, calcium chloride and calcium sulphate on the compressibility characteristics of the marine clay treated with quick lime were investigated. The rapid inflection point method was carried out. Results showed that the compression index of the untreated marine clay increased as the pH of pore water decreased. Also, the preconsolidation pressure, the coefficient of consolidation and the coefficient of permeability of the untreated marine clay decreased with pH of pore water. In the case of the marine clay treated with the quick lime-calcium chloride, the compression index decreased and the coefficient of consolidation and the coefficient of permeability increased. Specially, the preconsolidation pressure of sample treated with the quick lime-ferric oxide was higher than that of another samples.

The reasons why the hardened cement paste substituted the domestic fly ash are better in resisting against sulfate or calcium chloride attack the one used portland cement are as follows. First, because the fly ash could restrict the gypsum creation in resisting against sulfate attack, the $C_3A$ hydrates were not inversed to ettringite. Second, in the case of the, hardened cement paste immersed in calcium chloride solution, the fly ash was effective in resisting the deteorioration resulting from microcrack in surface and inner composition by the ionization of calcium chloride solution.

In this study, we investigated the feasibility of calcium sulfate fertilizer as a stabilizing agent for As and Hg contaminated farmland soil and its stabilization characteristics in 3 different physical forms (particulate, powder, and solution) through a pot experiment including 34 days of lettuce growth. As and Hg contents of the lettuce grown in the stabilized soils were decreased by at least 70%. However the lettuce yield of the soil stabilized with the solution agent was decreased by 46% due to the overabundance of the nutrients from the solution agent. Thus, if a solution-type agent is planned for agricultural farmland soil stabilization, additional tests for optimal dosage are needed to preserve vegetation growth. In Hg fractionation, a lower concentration of elemental fractions and a higher concentration of residual/sulfide fractions were identified in the soils stabilized with the solution, powder, and pariculate agents in descending order while there were no significant changes in As fractionation. Overall results suggest that calcium sulfate fertilizer can be used as a stabilizing agent, and a solution-type agent could be used when the operation of heavy machinery for the soil stabilization process is impossible.

Recently, self-healing concrete has been researched as maintenance and repair of concrete structures are important challenges we face. This paper focused on possibility of ion exchange resin as a novelty material directly and actively controlling harmful ions of concrete, whereas most self-healing concrete researches have been focused on methods to automatically filling and repairing internal crack of concrete. Because equilibrium properties between ion exchange resin and harmful ion is important before design of cement mixing proportion, it was conducted to remove chloride or sulfate in saturated $Ca(OH)_2$ solutions containing NaCl or $Na_2SO_4$. The removal performance was analyzed using kinetic equation and isothermal equation. Consequently, the removal properties of anion exchange resin were relatively more dependent on pseudo second reaction equation and Langmuir equation than pseudo first reaction equation and Freundlich equation. And it was concluded that each chloride and sulfate can be removed to the maximum 1068 ppm and 1314 ppm.

The effect of different treatments on the quality and yield of purified agar produced from Gelidium amansii has been studied, and the extraction condition ol agar produced from G. amansii has been examined. The contents of ash, sulfate in agar produced from g. amansii collected from different places were $2.63\~2.92\%\;and\;1.38\~1.78\%$, respectively. Yields and gel strength of agar produced from G. amansii collected from different places were $31.6\~46.8\%\;and\;496\~887g/cm^2$, respectively. It was effective to extract agar at $120^{\circ}C\;for\;2\~3hrs$. Agar was purified by D.W. washing, EDTA washing, chitosan treatment, CPC treatment, PEG treatment, ethanol precipitation, acetone precipitation and propanol precipitation. The mineral contents of agar produced from Gelidium amansii were Na (2934ppm), Ca (2472ppm), Mg (2259ppm), K (2527ppm), P1(81.1ppm), Fe (66.4ppm), Al (71.7ppm), Zn (29.7ppm) and Pb (ND: not detected), respectively.

This paper presents a detailed experimental study on the sulfate resistance of specimens made with portland cement exposed to sulfate attack. The mortar specimens were immersed in a 5% sodium sulfate solution for 360 days and regularly monitored for visual damage, compressive strength loss and expansion. In addition, at the end of 360 days, the products of sulfate attack and the mechanism of attack were investigated through X-ray diffraction, TG&DSC and scanning electron microscopy. The test results indicated that the sulfate deterioration data was ordinary portland cement > sulfate resistance portland cement > low heat portland cement. The microstructural studies indicated that the main reaction product of deterioration of the mortar specimens was the formation of ettringite, gypsum and thaumasite due to sulfate attack. For portland cement matrices, a low heat cement matrix containing the lowest C3A and silicate ratio (C/S) was beneficient against the sulfate attack.

It is well known that the salt in stoneworks impact on damage of stone by various methods. Various kind of salt is detected in high content in the black surface layer of stone monuments and it is required about origin and roles of salts on blackening to considerate. In this study have been investigated the characteristics of salt in the black crust of sandstone and limestone which used in historical monuments in Berlin, Germany. Salt was analyzed for cation by Atomic Absorption and Atomic Emission Spectroscopy and for anion by ion Chromatograph. The representative ions are $Ca^{2+}\;and\;SO_4^{-2}$ in all samples and the most obvious combinations was proved in calcium sulfate by statistical methods. Because gypsum was detected by X-ray diffraction analyses in the black crusts, this calcium sulfate was confirmed by 2 hydrate type. The probable origin of Ca is air particle in atmosphere around sandstone and calcite in mother rock in limestone, and that of S is polluted air and mortar which used as conservation works.
