Aluminum sulfate hydrate was prepared using sulfuric acid from Ha-dong kaolin. The effects of calcination-temperature and calcination-time of kaolin, reaction-temperature and reaction-time, and sulfuric acid concentration on the formation of aluminum sulfate hydrate were investigated. The precipitation condition of aluminum sulfate hydrate from sulfuric acid solution was determined. Also, the products heat-treated at different temperatures have been investigated by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer, scanning electron microscopy, particle size distribution analysis and chemical analysis. In the optimum condition, the conversion of aluminum oxide in kaolin to aluminum sulfate hydrate was 60%. From the results of XRD, TG-DTA, and FT-IR, it is suggested that the aluminum sulfate hydrate is thermally decomposed as follows ; $Al_2(SO_4)_3{\cdot}18H_2O{\rightarrow}Al_2(SO_4)_3{\cdot}6H_2O{\rightarrow}Al_2(SO_4){\rightarrow}\;amorphous\;alumina{\rightarrow}{\gamma}-alumina{\rightarrow}{\delta}-alumina{\rightarrow}{\theta}-alumina{\rightarrow}{\alpha}-alumina$. The purity of alumina powder prepared by calcining aluminum sulfate hydrate at $1200^{\circ}C$ was 99.99 percent.

Crude chondroitin sulfates extracted from midduck tunics (Styela clava) and munggae tunics (Halocynthia roretzi) were examined in vivo in order to be utilized as a cosmetic material which was followed by an in vitro assay. Examinations, such as acute oral toxicity, skin sensitization, acute eye irritation, and primary skin irritation, were peformed with a variety of laboratory animals. Phototoxic and photosensitization tests were not conducted since all chondroitin sulfates failed to absorb U.V. light at the range of 280 to 420 nm. In acute dermal and eye irritation, both specific clinical signs and dead cases were not demonstrated during the test period, but crude chondroitin sulfates from midduck and munggae tunics, and standard chondroitin sulfate from bovine trachea were showed 2.5, 1 and 1.25 of acute ocular irritation index (A.O.I.), respectively. In the case of skin sensitization, crude chondroitin sulfate from midduck tunics exhibited neither specific clinical signs nor dead cases in the entire course of the examination. While in acute oral toxicity, crude chondroitin sulfates from both midduck and munggae tunics found neither specific clinical signs nor dead cases during the test, and LD50 was suspected to be over 2 g/kg. Based on this study, it was proven that crude chondroitin sulfates from either midduck or munggae tunics can be used safely as a cosmetic material.

Campbell Early grapes were spontaneously fermented with and without sulfiting to investigate the effect of sulfiting on the fermentation characteristics and physicochemical properties of Campbell Early wine. During the fermentation, the increase in the alcohol and the decrease in the soluble solid contents were faster without sulfiting, as was the increase in the yeast viable counts compared to those with sulfiting. However, the final alcohol and soluble solid contents reached similar levels with and without sulfiting. The PCR-RFLP analysis of the yeast in the ITS I-5.8S-ITS II region revealed that the increase in the S. cerevisiae was faster in the initial fermentation stage and reached a slightly higher level in the late stage with sulfiting than without sulfiting. The wine prepared after the fermentation with sulfiting showed higher malic and tartaric acid contents, as well as methanol, acetaldehyde, and n-propanol contents, than the wine prepared without sulfiting. The ethyl acetate content of the wine without sulfiting was 375.5 mg/L, which was 5.3 times higher than that (70.5 mg/L) with sulfiting. In the sensory evaluation, the wine without sulfiting obtained higher scores in flavor and overall preference than that with sulfiting.

In this study, we investigated the effects of sulfuric acid on the synthesis of calcium borate in the artificial boron-containing brine (bittern) saturated with calcium hydroxide. For the study, we attempted to synthesize calcium borate under various conditions such as reaction temperature, reaction time, and cooling temperature after heating, and then to examine the recovery and purity of the calcium borate according to the presence or absence of sulfuric acid at each condition. The XRD analysis confirmed that, regardless of the presence of sulfuric acid, the calcium borate ($Ca_2B_2O_5{\cdot}H_2O$) was synthesized, while, in the presence of sulfuric acid, the calcium sulfate ($CaSO_4{\cdot}0.5H_2O$) was produced as a by-product. In all the experiments performed by varying the reaction temperature and time, the recovery and purity of the calcium borate without sulfuric acid were observed higher than those with it. The results indicated that the addition of sulfuric acid increased the solubility of the calcium hydroxide, but the calcium sulfate produced as a by-product could decrease the recovery and purity of the calcium borate by preventing the synthesis. In this study, the artificial boron-containing brine (bittern) (500 mg-B/L) was saturated with calcium hydroxide in the absence of sulfuric acid, and then the solution was heated at $80-105^{\circ}C$ for less than 10 minutes to synthesize the calcium borate. The recovery and purity of calcium borate were measured as high as 80 % and 96 %, respectively.

The effect of ferrous/ferric molar ratio and precipitants on the formation of nano size magnetite particle was investigated by coprecipitation method. Ferrous sulfate and ferric sulfate were used as iron sources and sodium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide was used as a precipitant. Single phase magnetite was synthesized with all of experiment conditions (ferrous/ferric molar ratios and precipitants). Particle size was smaller, and particle size distribution was narrower when NaOH was used than $NH_4OH$ was used. The crystallinity and particle size was increased and narrower particle size distribution with increasing molar ratio ferrous/ferric sulfate with the same precipitant. Super paramagnetism could be obtained at all of experiment conditions. The highest saturation magnetization (72 emu/g) was obtained when the ferrous/ferric molar ratio was 2.5 and precipitant was used $NH_4OH$.

This study examined the feasibility of producing sulfuric acid and ammonia water from ammonium sulfate solution using two-compartment electrodialysis with a bipolar membrane (EDBM). Electrodialysis experiments were carried out with 20 wt% ammonium sulfate at different current densities and sulfuric acid concentrations in a concentrate compartment. The current efficiency increased with the current density from 25 to $100\;mA/cm^2$. Nevertheless, the efficiency was relatively low compared with that of general desalting electrodialysis, owing to the diffusion of sulfuric acid from the concentrate compartment to the diluate. The diffusion rate through the anion exchange membrane increased with the sulfuric acid concentration in the concentrate compartment, which decreased the current efficiency. Conversely, the electrical resistance decreased with increasing current density owing to the Joulian heat generated during water dissociation in the transition region of the bipolar membrane under a high electric field. From the experimental results, we concluded that operating at a higher current density is effective from the perspective of current efficiency and electrical resistance when producing sulfuric acid and ammonia water from ammonium sulfate using a two-compartment EDBM process. Further studies on the effects of increasing the sulfuric acid concentration on current efficiency are required to apply the EDBM process practically.

The purpose of this study was to assess the durability of high-strength concrete with high volume mineral admixture (HVMAC) derived from previous studies within ternary blended concrete (TBC) and normal concrete (NC). Four durability evaluation types such as chloride penetration resistance, freezing and thawing resistance, carbonation resistance in two pre-treatment conditions, and sulfuric acid and sulfate resistance using 5% sulfuric acid ($H_2SO_4$), 10% sodium sulfate ($Na_2SO_4$), and 10% magnesium sulfate ($MgSO_4$) solution were selected and performed in this study. HVMAC showed the excellent chloride penetration resistance in any age and the freezing and thawing durability close to 100%. In addition, HVMAC affected more reduction in carbonation resistance than TBC. When the curing time was increased, to create a concrete internal organization densely improved resistance to carbonation. HVMAC also showed the most superior in sulfuric acid and sulfate resistance. As the reduction of calcium hydroxide and $C_3A$ to apply a large amount of admixture reduced the swelling and cracking of concrete, the strength reduction and mass change of concrete was found to be small indicated.

쌀을 주식으로 하는 우리나라의 여건상 연간 추정치로 싸라기 약 12만톤, 미강 약 49만톤, 왕겨 약 79만톤의 벼 도정 부산물이 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 벼 도정 부산물 중 비식량 자원인 왕겨를 대상으로 고효율 효소 당화를 위한 바이오매스 전처리 방법을 탐색하였다. 왕겨 원시료의 초기 조성은 셀룰로스 34.5%, 헤미셀룰로스 20.5%, 리그닌 25.3%, 회분 14.6%로 나타났는데, 억새 등 초본계 바이오매스와 비교하여 특이하게 높은 성분은 회분으로 이는 벼에 대한 규산질 비료의 시용에서 기인한 것이다. 바이오매스 전처리에 많이 사용되는 암모니아, 희황산 용매와 규산염에 침식성을 가지는 가성소다 용매를 이용하여 각 용매별 단독 및 알칼리-산 복합 처리 하였을 때 효소 가수분해 효율, 고상시료 성분변화 등을 상호 비교하였다. 예비실험을 통하여 암모니아 처리조건은 15%(w/w) $150^{\circ}C$ 20분, 가성소다 처리조건은 1.5%(w/w) $150^{\circ}C$ 20분, 희황산 처리조건은 1.0%(w/w) $150^{\circ}C$ 10분으로 설정하였다. 암모니아 단독, 희황산 단독, 암모니아-희황산 복합 처리 시료의 효소 가수분해 효율은 각각 37.8%, 39.1%, 42.8%로 약 40%선에서 큰 차이가 없었다. 반면 가성소다 단독, 가성소다-희황산 복합 처리시료의 효소 가수분해 효율은 각각 62.7%, 82.8%로 나타나 앞선 3가지 처리방법 대비 50%, 100%에 가까운 효소 가수분해 효율 향상을 보였다. 이 때 전처리 고상시료의 성분 변화를 살펴보면 회분 함량에서 큰 차이를 보였는데 암모니아 단독, 가성소다 단독, 희황산 단독, 암모니아-희황산 복합, 가성소다-희황산 복합 처리에서 각각 47.8%, 77.1%, 43.5%, 55.8%, 94.7%의 회분 성분 기각률(rejection rate)을 나타냈다. 이는 왕겨 효소 가수분해 효율의 최대 저해요인이 회분임을 추정할 수 있다. 왕겨 전처리 알칼리 용매는 암모니아보다 가성소다가 더 효과적이었고 희황산 복합 처리시 그 효과가 크게 상승하였다. 따라서 규산염(회분) 함량이 높은 바이오매스는 고온 고압 조건에서 가성소다 용액으로 처리한 후 그 고상분을 희황산 용액으로 복합 처리하는 시스템이 효소 당화 증진에 매우 유리함을 확인하였다.
