As a previous research, improved durability of concrete by filling capillary pores with waste cooking oil was suggested as a method of controlling carbonation of the concrete replaced high volume of SCMs. on the other hand, the emulsified refined waste cooking oil for better mixing performance had a drawback of reducing air content related with decreasing freeze-thawing resistance. As a solution of this problem, surface applying method was suggested instead of adding in mixing process, and in this research, the performance regarding concrete durability are evaluated comparing emulsified refined cooking oil with water-repelling agent.

Bottom ash, which is discharged through a wet process in a thermal power plant, contains much unburned coal due to quenching and much salt due to seawater. However, dry bottom ash discharged through a dry process contains low unburned coal and salt, and has light -weight due to many pores. Therefore, it is expected that it can be used as lightweight aggregate. This study deals with the basic properties of concrete used dry bottom ash as coarse aggregate. As a results, the concrete having high content of dry bottom ash aggregate showed high slump by using water reducing agent and its air content was within 5±1.5% as designed value, similarly to normal weight concrete. It also showed a lower compressive strength than 100% of crushed stone.

In this study, the setting characteristics of the high range water reducing agent to minimize the retardation of UHPC were confirmed to minimize the setting time in the hardening of UHPC. As a result of the study, there was a slight change depending on the difference in the type of Superplasticizer, K > P > D = S > E in the order of condensation promotion, and E > S = D = K > P on the 28th day.

Frost damage of a storage tank for chemical admixtures caused by a low temperature in winter and quality deterioration of chemical admixtures have been often reported. However, there have been few regulations and researches related to the frost damage of chemical admixtures and facilities. Therefore, this paper is intend to investigate not only, the freezing points of chemical admixtures such as AE admixtures and water-reducing AE admixtures, etc., but also the quality variation of concrete used with chemical admixtures before freezing and after freeze-thaw cycles. According to the results of experiments, most chemical admixtures except anti-freezing agent and accelerating water-reducing AE admixtures should be kept from being frozen in low winter temperatures. However, full agitation of frozen chemical admixtures dose not cause the problems of concrete related to the quality of chemical admixtures.

This paper discusses the physical properties of permeable high quality concrete using blast furnace slag or steel slag as a part of aggregate. In the case of steel slag, aging treatment was adopted to prevent the volume expansion. With high range water reducing agent, the concrete using slag aggregate showed compressive strength up to 24MPa at the age of 28 days and the water permeability of the concrete was over the level of 0.1 m/s in this experiment. Also, there was no expansion problem in the concrete substituted with aged slag as a part of aggregate.

In this research, the Ir supported $TiO_2$ (P25) catalyst was prepared by precipitation method for oxygen evolution reaction. The $Ir/TiO_2$ catalyst was synthesised by reduction reaction using reducing agent. Physiochemical characterizations of synthesized $Ir/TiO_2$ catalyst was studied by means of SEM, EDS mapping, TEM and XRD. The Electrochemical characterizations were tested by using the technique of CV and LSV by RDE and Potentiostat. Physicochemical properties were characterized with XRD where Iridium metal morphology and Ir(111) and Ir(222) peaks were founded. $Ir0.2Ru0.8O_2$ exhibited higher OER activity than $Ir0.5Ru0.5O_2$ followed by $Ir/TiO_2$ and $IrO_2$.

The production of synthetic polymer compounds and ethanolamine (ETA, a pH control agent used in nuclear power plants) generates effluent that pollutes water. This study focused on the development of chemicals for the treatment of effluent and processes to reduce the COD level due to the presence of organic materials via physicochemical treatment. It was found that a mixed coagulant of $FeCl_2$ and $MgCl_2$ (1:1) was the most effective in treating effluent and reducing the COD level. When the mixed coagulant was injected into effluent including organic materials, the COD level was reduced by more than 80%.

Portulaca oleracea L., a species of Portulacaceae, is ubiquitous. It is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine for removing heat, counteracting toxicity, cooling blood, and maintaining hemostasia; it is also used as antidysentery agent. This study investigated the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities of water and ethanol extracts from P. oleracea. The total polyphenol content ($21.08{\pm}0.03mg\;GAE/g$) and total flavonoid content ($5.45{\pm}0.76mg\;QE/g$) of the ethanolic extracts were higher than those of the water extracts. The antioxidative activities were determined by evaluating the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and the 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity and by the ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) assay. The ABTS radical scavenging activity of the water extract (75.53%) was higher in those of the water extract (67.03%) at concentration of $1,000{\mu}g/mL$. The DPPH radical scavenging activity and FRAP of the ethanol extract were higher than those of the water extract. We also investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of the P. oleracea extracts in LPS-stimulated Raw 264.7 cells. The production levels of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) significantly decreased with an increasing concentration of the extract. The expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis faction (TNF)-${\alpha}$, interleukin (IL)-$1{\beta}$, and IL-6) were significantly lower in the ethanol extract than in the LPS alone treatment group. Based on these results, ethanolic extract from P. oleracea could be an effective antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.

The Quality of municipal solid waste incineration ash (incineration ash) was analyzed for the purpose of the reusing for concrete material. The folwability and strength properties of concrete mixed with incinerator ash were investigated. CaO component was included more than 50% in chemical component of incinerator ash, mean size of 50% accumulated particle distribution of incinerator ash was about $25{\mu}m$. Particle shape of incinerator ash ($IA_1$) was massed the round shape with fine particle, particle shape of incinerator ash ($IA_2$) was piled up the sheet shape according to manufacture procedure. The Quality of concrete was effected by use of incinerator ash. When the incinerator Ash ($IA_2$) was used, slum of concrete was increased and dosage of high range water reducing agent was reduced. However, strength development of concrete was decreased. Dosage of high range water reducing agent was increased by combined use of incinerator ash ($IA_2$) and diatomite powder, but strength development of concrete was improved. Ratio of compressive strength and tensile strength was in the range 85%~105% of CEB-FIP model code.
