As production of LCD increases, it has become necessary to find an economically efficient way of treating LCD wastewater with high concentration of fluoride. This study focuses on the calcium sources : $CaCl_2$, $Ca(OH)_2$ and $CaCO_3$ for the treatment of the LCD wastewater including high concentration of fluoride. Of course considering removal efficiency and economical aspect, study is continued. Then this study have objective giving aid to field. Consequently, each calcium source's removal efficiency was measured in various pH, calcium dosage, reaction time, and mixing intensity. The optimum operational conditions for $CaCl_2$ were found to be pH of 7, calcium dosage of 0.4[Ca]/[F] (mol / mol), 1 hr of operation and 200 rpm of mixing intensity. For $Ca(OH)_2$, they were pH of 7, calcium dosage of 30 mL/L, 1 hr of operation, and 200 rpm of mixing intensity. While $CaCO_3$ had operational conditions of pH of 4, calcium dosage of 30 mL/L, 1 hr operation and 200 rpm of mixing intensity. But it is recommended to use calcium sources according to various field conditions.

South Korea is a ninth greenhouse gas emission nation in the world(2007) and is certainly to perform a duty to conduct reduction role by the Kyoto Protocol in 2013. waste concrete produced in the country is 45 million tons per year and these two issues are being came to the fore as major problems of society. However, if it utilizes wet carbonation system carbon using carbon dioxide and waste concrete as raw material it can expect effect of environmental protection and resource recycling. Furthermore, it can exploit another industry production.

The aim of the research is assessing the possibility of recovering the compressive strength of the mortar mixture replaced excessively high volume of blast furnace slag accidently. As a result of the experiment, in the case of compressive strength, painting sodium oxide showed higher compressive strength recovery effect than painting calcium oxide. As a curing temperature, 20℃ showed advanced result rather than 65℃. From the wet curing, the reaction was confirmed, deeper penetration depth was checked at 20℃ than 60℃ temperature. Therefore for the concrete mixture with excessively high volume of blast furnace slag, it is considered that painting sodium hydroxide and curing 20℃ can recover the compressive strength effectively.

Precipitated calcium carbonate(PCC), particularly calcite crystal, is extensively used as a pigment, filler or extender in various industries such as paper, paint, textile, detergents, adhesives, rubber and plastics, food, cosmetics, and biomaterials. PCC is conventionally produced through the gas-liquid carbonation process, which consists on bubbling gaseous $CO_2$ through a concentrated calcium hydroxide slurry. This study is aimed to find some factors for controlling the morphology of engineered PCC in lab-scaled mixing batch. The experimental designs were based on temperature variables, $Ca(OH)_2$ concentration, $CO_2$ flow rate, and electrical conductivity. The model of engineered PCC morphology was finally controlled by adjustment of electrical conductivity(6.0~7.0 mS/cm) and $Ca(OH)_2$ concentration(10 g/L). Orthorhombic calcite crystals were mostly created at high concentration and electrical conductivity conditions because the increased ratio of $Ca^{2+}$ and $CO{_3}^{2-}$ ions affects the growth rate of orthorhombic faces. Excess calcium spices were contributed to the growth of faces in calcium carbonate crystal, and the non-stoichiometric reaction was occurred between $Ca^{2+}$ and $CO{_3}^{2-}$ ions during carbonation process.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the direct inhibitory effect of calcium hydroxide materials on differentiation and activation of osteoclast. we used the osteoclast progenitor cells isolated from bone marrow cell of chick embryo tibia and four experimental materials [$Ca(OH)_2$ powder, Metapaste$^{(R)}$, Vitapex$^{(R)}$, Pulpdent$^{(R)}$] diluted at 0.1, 0.01, $0.05{\mu}g/ml$. There were measured both the number of differentiated osteoclast and the area of resorption lacunae. Also, we conducted MTT assay on U2OS osteoblast to examine of cytotoxic effect and obtained following result. 1. Considering the result of the inhibitory effects upon osteoclast differentiation, There were shown a significant difference increased in the following order: Metapaste$^{(R)}$, $Ca(OH)_2$ powder, Vitapex$^{(R)}$. But no significant difference was found in pulpdent group that the number of differentiated osteoclast was increased at all concentrations(p<0.05). 2. Among the three experimental groups, that is, $Ca(OH)_2$ powder, Metapaste$^{(R)}$, Vitapex$^{(R)}$ at $0.1{\mu}g/ml$ dilution that were statistically significant in reduction of the number of differentiated osteoclast. Vitapex group showed significant cytotoxic effect compared to control and another two groups exhibited no significant difference. Also, 0.2% DMSO group was shown statistically siginificant cytotoxicity (p<0.05). 3. Examining pattern and measured area of resorption lacunae in the control and the three experimental groups ,that is, $Ca(OH)_2$ powder, Metapaste$^{(R)}$, Vitapex$^{(R)}$ at $0.1{\mu}g/ml$ dilution, except $Ca(OH)_2$ powder group, statistically significant differences were found between experimental groups and control group. Also, DMSO group showed statistically significant decrease (p<0.05). From these results, we think that calcium hydroxide is responsible for suppression of hard tissue resorption by a direct inhibition of dfferentiation and activation of osteoclast.

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.

An In-line dry scrubbing FGD process was investigated. Calcium hydroxide was entrained in flue gas and the SO$_2$ removal efficiency by humidity and additives were examined. The range of reaction temperature was $200^{\circ}C$~$500^{\circ}C$ and the concentration of $SO_2$ was around 900ppm. By the increase of humidity in flue gas, the removal efficiency was increased. The effect of NaOH as a additive was very high and got high conversion of $Ca(OH)_2$, however in case of RH 90%, it was reverse. The effect of particle size and flow rate were examined. And the reaction rate constant and effective diffusivity also calculated.

Industrial use of waste oyster shells is limited because of requiring excessive energy for converting natural oyster shells in the form of calcium carbonate ($CaCO_3$) into calcium oxide (CaO) for this purpose. This study aimed to develop energy-saving process for producing solidifying agent using waste oyster shells for backfill materials. It was suggested that oyster shells were converted to calcium sulfates which were mixed with sodium hydroxide solution and red clay, forming solid specimen. The optimal concentrations of sulfuric acid for sulfation of oyster shell and sodium hydroxide to generate calcium hydroxide ($Ca(OH)_2$), were determined. Unconfined compressive strength of solid specimen increased with increasing the content of solidifying agent while it increased also with increasing ratio of natural oyster shells to coal ash. The result clearly demonstrates that solidifying agent consisting of sulfuric acid-treated oyster shell, coal ash, and sodium hydroxide solution, can be effectively utilized for preparing backfill materials using natural oyster shell and coal ash. Sulfuric acid-treated oyster shell-based solidifying agent has not been previously developed and will contribute to broaden industrial application of waste oyster shells.

Ultrafine calcim carbonate powders with the size of $0.05~0.1\;{\mu}m$ and the calcite phase were synthesized by the nozzle spouting method, which could be only obtained when high calcium ion concentration within slurry was maintained at the beginning of the reaction. But, in the regions of low ${Ca(OH)}_2$ concentration (0.5~1.0 wt%) or high ${Ca(OH)}_2$ concentration (<3.0 wt%), synthesized calcium carbonate powder was shown the large particle size with agglomeration. To obtain ultrafine calcium carbonate powder in this region, the methods of slurry circuation and $CO_{2}$ gas supply were changed during reaction. Resultly, it was possible to synthesize ultrafine particles (${\approx}0.05{\mu}\textrm{m}$)in the regions of low ${Ca(OH)}_2$ concentration (${\approx}0.5wt%$) and high ${Ca(OH)}_2$ concentration (${\approx}0.5wt%$), which can not be obtained the fine calcium carbonate powder still now.

This study evaluated the effect of two different calcium hydroxide ($Ca(OH)_2$) paste removal techniques on the apical leakage of canals obturated with gutta percha cones and sealer after removing a $Ca(OH)_2$ dressing using an electrochemical method. Seventy extracted single-rooted teeth were instrumented on with Profile rotary files under NaOCl irrigation. Fifty-eight canals were filled with calcium hydroxide paste, which was then removed using one of the following two techniques. In group A, calcium hydroxide was removed using only NaOCl irrigation, and in group B, the canals were re-prepared with a Profile rotary files-one size larger than the previous instrument and were irrigated with NaOCl. In both groups, the root surfaces were coated twice with nail varnish from CEJ to an area 4 mm away from the apex after canal obturation. Apical leakage was measured using an electrochemical method for 24 days. All the specimens showed leakage that increased markedly in the first three days. There was no significant difference between the two groups (p>0.05). The effect of two calcium hydroxide paste removal techniques on the apical leakage was not different during a short period.
