In this study, the air pollutant removal such as sulfur oxides was studied. A combination of the plasma discharge in the reactor by the reaction surface discharge reactor Calcium hydroxides catalytic reactor and air pollutants, hazardous gas SOx, changes in gas concentration, change in frequency, the thickness of the electrode, kinds of electrodes and the addition of simulated composite catalyst composed of a variety of gases, including decomposition experiments were performed by varying the process parameters. The experimental results showed the removal efficiency of 98% in the decomposition of sulfur oxides removal experiment when Calcium hydroxides catalysts and the tungsten(W) electrodes were used. It was increased 3% more than if you do not have the catalytic. If added to methane gas was added the removal efficiency increased decomposition.

The non-evaporable water and calcium hydroxides were measured by TG/DTA for studying the temperature effect on hydration of concrete mixture. The experimental parameters introduced in this study were the curing temperatures, ages and W/C ratios. The mixing temperature was also controlled to improve the efficiency of experimental work. While the mixture cured at high temperature showed the large quantity of non-evaporable water and calcium hydroxides at early age, the production rate of these hydration products was decreased as increasing the curing age, and the quantity of hydration product became smaller than that of the corresponding mixture cured at lower temperature at later age.

There are carbonatiion, salt attack, freezing & thawing and alkali-aggregate reactions as the cautions of durability lowering of concret structure. Generally, these cautions complicatedly lower the durability of structure and among these cautions the most serious problem is salt attack and carbonation. This study is intending to get the carbonation phenominon, that among cement calcium hydroxides change into calcium carbonate by responding to carbon mitrogen in the air.

The objective of this study was to investigate microbial removal using layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and iron (hydr)oxides (IHs) immobilized onto granular media. Column experiments were performed using calcium alginate beads (CA beads), LDHs entrapped in CA beads (LDH beads), quartz sand (QS), iron hydroxide-coated sand (IHCS) and hematite-coated sand (HCS). Microbial breakthrough curves were obtained by monitoring the effluent, with the percentage of microbial removal and collector efficiency then quantified from these curves. The results showed that the LDH beads were ineffective for the removal of the negatively-charged microbes (27.7% at 1 mM solution), even though the positively-charged LDHs were contained on the beads. The above could be related to the immobilization method, where LDH powders were immobilized inside CA beads with nano-sized pores (about 10 nm); therefore, micro-sized microbes (E. coli = 1.21 ${\mu}m$) could not diffuse through the pores to come into contact with the LDHs in the beads, but adhere only to the exterior surface of the beads via polymeric interaction. IHCS was the most effective in the microbial removal (86.0% at 1 mM solution), which could be attributed to the iron hydroxide coated onto the exterior surface of QS had a positive surface charge and, therefore, effectively attracted the negatively-charged microbes via electrostatic interactions. Meanwhile, HCS was far less effective (35.6% at 1 mM solution) than IHCS because the hematite coated onto the external surface of QS is a crystallized iron oxide with a negative surface charge. This study has helped to improve our knowledge on the potential application of functional granular media for microbial removal.

This study was to elucidate the effects of layered double hydroxides(LDHs) application on the chemical properties of the soils along with the fate of the applied LDHs. The effects of LDHs application were compared with those of calcium carbonate widely used for the neutralization of acidic soils. Incorporation of LDHs into the soil resulted in higher pH value and $Mg^{2+}$ content in soil leachate than that of $CaCO_3$ treatment. There was no significant difference in water-soluble P content in both the treatments. However, $Al^{3+}$ and $Si^{4+}$ contents were decreased by LDHs and $CaCO_3$ treatment, even though a large amount of $Al^{3+}$ was released into soil solution with the disintegration of LDHs framework. LDHs structure in soil was gradually disintegrated from the its original layered structure under acidic condition of soil. Therefore, this study suggests that LDHs could be utilized as a carrier of functional substances to enhance the efficiency of various ago-chemicals without any ill effects on the soil environments.

Concepts and experimental results for the unique utilization process which we could obtain the high purity calcium nitrate from blast furnace slag in the steel industry are described. Firstly we reacted the blast slag with nitric acid and separatively removed the insoluble silica by filtration. We adjust the pH of filtrate to 6∼8 with calcined lime, and then precipiated out the metal components like Fe, Al, Mg in the forms of hydroxides. Consequently concentration of the mother liquor and crystallization processes make us obtain the high purity (>98 wt%) calcium nitrate tetrahydrates, which is expected the valuable fertilizers.

After a vital pulpotomy in dogs' teeth, the responses of the remaining pulp tissue under hydroxides (calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, aluminium hydroxide and zinc hydroxide) were studied histologically. The class V cavities were prepared on the teeth and the pulp was amputated. Each hydroxide was placed over the amputated tissue and the cavity was sealed with zinc oxide eugenol cement. Animals were sacrificed after 3 days, 1, 2, and 3 weeks following the operation. The teeth were decalcified, sectioned and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Microscopic examination reveals as follows; 1. Calcium hydroxide: Inflammatory change was seen in the superficial portion of the remaining pulp tissue at the 3rd day and 1st week. The incompleted calicified material began to be deposited from the canal wall at the 2nd week, and the advanced calcified material was seen at the 3rd week. 2. Magnesium hydroxide: Severe inflammatory change was seen in the superficial portion of the remaining pulp from the 3rd day and the 1st week samples. Inflammatory change was decreased at the 2nd week and the slight calcified material was deposited from the root canal at the 3rd week. 3. Aluminium hydroxide: Severe inflammatory changes were seen in the remaining pulp tissue, the blood vessel was dilated, and the odontoblasts were destroyed at the 3rd day and 1st week. The fibrous degeneration spread to the apex at the 2nd week. There was no evidence of newly formed odontoblasts or deposition of calcified material underneath aluminium hydroxide. 4. Zinc hydroxide: The micrscopic picture was destructive. A thick necrotic layer was found under the amputated surface at the 3rd day and 1st week. Granulation tissue formation as well as chronic inflammatory changes extended to the apical area in the pulp tissue. Also there were no sign of odontoblastic formation or calcified material at the 2nd and 3rd week.

Layered metal hydroxides (LMHs) containing calcium were synthesized by coprecipitation in solution having two different trivalent metal ions, iron and aluminum. Two mixed metal solutions ($Ca^{2+}/Al^{3+}$ and $Ca^{2+}/Fe^{3+}$ = 2/1) were added to sodium hydroxide solution and the final pH was adjusted to ~11.5 and ~13 for CaAl-and CaFe-LMHs. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) for the two LMH samples showed well developed ($00l$) diffractions indicating 2-dimensional crystal structure of the synthesized LMHs. Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction pattern, the local structure analysis through X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and thermal analysis also confirmed that the synthesized precipitates show typical structure of LMHs. The chemical formulae, $Ca_{2.04}Al_1(OH)_6(NO_3){\cdot}5.25H_2O$ and $Ca_{2.01}Fe_1(OH)_6(NO_3){\cdot}4.75H_2O$ were determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). Particle morphology and thermal behavior for the synthesized LMHs were examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetricdifferential scanning calorimetry.

The formation and dissolution of hydroxides, carbonates and hydroxyapatite (HAp), which depend on the pH of solution, are important factor for the preparation of homogeneous and fine HAp, $Ca_{10-x}(HPO_4)_x(PO_4)_{6-x}(OH)_{2-x}(x=0)$, ceramic powder from the $Ca-PO_4-H_2O$ system. Since the solubility of each complex ion is a linear function of pH, the solubility diagram can be obtained by plotting the logarithmic molar concentrations calculated from the values of the equilibrium constants and solubility products for hydroxides, carbonates, and hydroxyapatite. The optimum pH condition for the formation of single phase $Ca_{10-x}(HPO_4)_x(PO_4)_{6-x}(OH)_{2-x}(x=0)$ powder in $Ca-PO_4-H_2O$ system at $25^{\circ}C$ was estimated as $10.5{\pm}0.5$ through the theoretical consideration. The HAp powder dried at $80^{\circ}C$ showed a fine agglomerated particles with a size of 75 nm. The HAp powder calcined at $1,000^{\circ}C$ consisted of nearly homogeneous particles with a size of 450 nm. Even though the dried HAp particles consisted of agglomeration, mechanical properties were superior due to fine microstructure after sintering.
