The calcium to phosphate ratio (Ca/P) in biphasic calcium phosphates powders using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) was characterized. The BCP powders with various stoichiometric Ca/P molar ratio were synthesized with coprecipitation process and calcination. Compositions of the powders with Ca/P molar ratio between 1.5 and 1.67 were subjected to starting Ca/P molar ratio, pH = 10, and thermal treatment up to $900^{\circ}C$. The structural, morphological and chemical characterizations for BCP powders with stoichiometric Ca/P ratio were carried out with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and a phase quantification was investigated by XRD. The solubility of HAp, $\beta$-TCP, and BCP powders was tested in the phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at $36.5^{\circ}C$ and pH = 7.4.

Characteristics of holdup and flow behavior of fluidized solid particles were investigated in a liquid-solid circulating fluidized bed ($0.102m{\times}3.5m$). Effects of liquid velocity ($U_L$), particle size ($d_P$) and solid circulation rate ($G_S$) on the solid holdup, overall particle rising velocity, slip velocity between liquid and particles and hydrodynamic energy dissipation rate in the riser were examined. The particle holdup increased with increasing $d_P$ or $G_S$ but decreased with increasing $U_L$. The overall particle rising velocity increased with increasing $U_L$ or $G_S$ but decreased with increasing $d_P$. The slip velocity increased with increasing $U_L$ or $d_P$ but did not change considerably with $G_S$. The energy dissipation rate, which was found to be closely related to the contacting frequency of micro eddies, increased with increasing $d_P$, $G_S$ or $U_L$. The solid particle holdup was well correlated with operating variables such as $U_L$, $d_P$ and $G_S$.

Sodium borohydride, $NaBH_4$, shows a number of advantages as hydrogen source for portable proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Properties of $NaBH_4$ hydrolysis reaction using activated carbon supported Co-B/C, Co-P-B/C catalyst were studied. BET surface area of catalyst, yield of hydrogen, effect of $NaBH_4$ concentration and durability of catalyst were measured. The BET surface area of carbon supported catalyst was over $500m^2/g$ and this value was 2~3 times higher than that of unsupported catalyst. Hydrogen generation of activated carbon supported catalyst was more stable than that of unsupported catalyst. The activation energy of Co-P-B/C catalyst was 59.4 kJ/mol in 20 wt% $NaBH_4$ and 14% lower than that of Co-P-B/FeCrAlloy catalyst. Catalyst loss on activated carbon supported catalyst was reduced to about 1/3~1/2 compared with unsupported catalyst, therefore durability was improved by supporting catalyst on activated carbon.

The purpose of this study was to investigate adsorption characteristics of organo-clays for removal of p-xylene. As part of efforts to examine the adsorption capacities of some organo-clays for p-xylene, batch isotherm tests were carried out. Organo-clay minerals were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions using Na-montmorillonite as host clay and dimethyldioctadecylammonium (DMDA) bromide and benzyldimethyldodecylammonium (BDDA) chloride as organic surfactants, respectively. All synthetic organo-clay minerals were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The modification using dimethyldioctadecylammonium (DMDA) bromide showed the higher adsorption ability for p-xylene than benzyldimethyldodecylammonium (BDDA) chloride. On the other hand, the maximum adsorption capacity, $Q_{max}$ of DMDA modified montmorillonite estimated by Langmuir model was 27.0 mg/g, which was the higher value than other organo-clays.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramics with the Ca/P ratios of 1.62, 1.67 and 1.72 were prepared and their dissolution behaviors in distilled water at $37^{\circ}C$ were investigated. It appeared that surface dissolution of the ceramics was initiated from grain boundaries after 3 days of immersion in water. Following 10 days of immersion, microstructural disintergration of HA was severs for non-stoichiometric compounds, I.e Ca/P ratios of 1.62 and 1.72. Notably, a micron-sized circular cavity similar to lacunae, which can be generally formed in osteoclastic resorption process, was observed.

Effects of temperature and initial pH of the medium on production of citric acid from cheese whey permeate by Aspergillus niger were investigated. A. niger was cultivated at four different temperatures (27, 30, 33, $36^{\circ}C$) and four different pHs (2, 3, 4, 5) for 15 days. During the fermentation the concentrations of lactose and citric acid in the culture broth were measured. The maximum production of citric acid which was 33.9 g/l (68.26% yield based on lactose utilized) was obtained at $33^{\circ}C$ and pH 3. The production of citric acid was not much affected by shaking speed. However, the shaking speed was found to influence the form of pellets during cell growth.

The dyeing properties of the several reactive dyes possessing different types of the reactive group on nylon 6 fabric have been investigated. Dyeing of nylon fiber with commercial reactive dyes was dependent on the dye bath pH. As pH increased, the extent of exhaustion decreased due to the deprotonation of the amino end group. But, the extent of fixation increased because of the enhanced reactivity with nylon fiber. It was found that all reactive dyes could be applied to nylon 6 reasonably at pH 5-6. But, the conflicting requirements of dye exhaustion and covalent bond formation limited the extent of fixation efficiency. The best method to improve the extent of the fixation efficiency of the reactive dyes was the conversion of sulphatoethylsulphone group to vinylsulphone group before dyeing with trisodium phosphate. The converted Supra type reactive dye gave the highest extent of fixation efficiency, which was about 90%.

Influence of several experimental parameters (e.g., initial dye concentration, pH, distance between electrodes, applied voltage, electrical conductivity, current density, and reaction time) on the performance of electrocoagulation (EC) process for the removal of acid blue 25 (AB25) was studied. A bipolar batch reactor was used to test the impact of the parameters. The removal efficiency (RE) of AB25 dye was promoted by increasing the contact time, voltage, electrical conductivity, and applied current density. In contrast, RE of AB25 decreased with higher level of AB25 and the longer distance between electrodes. The removal efficiency increased consistently until pH 7, but decreased above pH 7. The maximum efficiency of AB25 removal above 90% was obtained at a voltage of 60 V, reaction time of 90 min, distance between electrodes of 0.5 cm, initial concentration of 25 mg/L, conductivity of 3,000 μS/cm and pH of 7. These results imply that the high RE of AB25 dye from the aqueous solution can be achieved by EC process.

A room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) based on trihexyl (tetradecyl)phosphonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide ([$(C_6H_{13})_3P(C_{14}H_{29)}$] [TFSI];P66614TFSI) was synthesized and analyzed to determine their characteristics and properties. The bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI) anion is widely studied as an ionic liquid (IL) forming anion which imparts many useful properties, notably electrochemical stability. Especially its electrochemical and physical characteristics for solvent of lithium ion battery were investigated in detail. $P_{66614}$ TFSI exhibits fairly low conductivity (0.89 mS $cm^{-1}$) and higher viscosity (298 K: 277 cP; 343 K: 39 cP) than other ionic liquids, but it exhibits a high thermal stability (over $400^{\circ}C$). Especially corrosion behavior on Al current collector was tested at room temperature and further it was confirmed that thermal resistivity for Al corrosion was highly increased in 1.0M LiTFSI/$P_{66614}$-TFSI electrolyte comparing with other RTILs by linear sweep thermometry.

The CKD extract is wastewater from which KCl in CKD has been removed to reuse CKD as a cement raw material, and tried to reuse no extracts due to problems such as wastewater treatment facility expansion. As a result of removing KCl by the ion exchange method, the pH of the extract after ion exchange decreased from 12.7 to less than pH 2, and it was confirmed that H⁺ of the cation exchange resin was dissolved in the extract through ion exchange. In addition, the selectivity of the ion exchange was removed in the order of Ca²⁺, K⁺, it was determined that the increase in the contact time to remove the K⁺ ions. The batch system had a contact time of 6 times or more, compared to the continuous system, and showed 4 times of K⁺ removal efficiency and 7 times of Cl^- removal efficiency. It was showed by analyzing the pH of the extract that more H⁺ of the cation exchange resin was extracted than OH^- of anion exchange resin as the pH of the extract was changed.
