There are many reports on the stability of drugs in powders and tablets. The stabilities of ascorbic acid in the antacid preparations, such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium trisilicate, magnesium alumino silicate, and dried aluminum hydroxide gel under various humidities were examined. From the result of the experiment, it was assumed that the concentration of ascorbic acid, the amount of water-vapor sorption, and the physical character of the antacid ingredients were the main factors, influencing the degradation of ascorbic acid. The ascorbic acid, mixed with carbonates, such as calcium carbonate, was degradaded rapidly, while the preparation with dried aluminum hydroxide gel was slightly degraded after 10 days. A 2% ascorbic acid in the prepation was rapidly degraded than 10% ascorbic acid in the preparation.

The degree of saturation of calcium carbonate in the East Sea was calculated from the data obtained from'99 expedition using R/V Roger Revelle. The calcium concentrations in seawaters were estimated from salinity data, and the carbonate ion concentrations were calculated from total alkalinity and pH data. The results suggest that the crossover from the supersaturation to undersaturation for calcium carbonate occur at the depth of approximately 200-400 m for calcite, and 100-300 m for aragonite. Compared to the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, these levels in the East Sea are shallow due to most likely lower temperature of sea water in this region.

In this study, a liquid carbonation method was applied for producing precipitate calcium carbonate by liquid-liquid reaction. Also a shuttle mechanism of wet chemical absorption using MEA was utilized. The high concentration $CO_2$(A) and exhaust gas(B) was used for collecting carbon dioxide in the 30% MEA aqueous solution, and $CO_2$ was fixed with rate of 0.35 mg of $CO_2$ per mg of sludge through the liquid carbonation process. It was found from SEM data that calcium carbonate was mainly made up with spherical vaerite with the mixing of a small quantity of calcite.

The various shape of calcium carbonate were prepared. For the preparation of the PP/$CaCO_3$ composite, these synthetic calcium carbonate(cubic, spheric and neddle type) and PP were mixed on a two roll mill and the mixture were pressed into plate. The effect of particle shape in the prepared composite on the crystallization temperature, heat of fusion, size of spherulite and mechanical properities were investigated. It was found that the former four were strongly influenced by that. When, especially, vaterite was mixed with PP, the size of spherulite was smaller and the degree of crystallinity was higher than others. Therefore, the tensile strength and Young's modulus were higher.

This study was performed to develop the modified FGD(Flue Gas Desulfurization) process which can eliminate the possibility of generating secondary pollutants. Limestone was regenerated by adding ammonium hydroxide and carbon dioxide, and reusing it as a absorbent in FGD gypsum Process. A series of the new or modified FGD process which include desulfurization and regeneration limestone from CaSO$_3$. 1/2H20 and CaSO4 . 2H2O, were carried out under various experimental conditions. The results showed that the optimum injection ratio for regeneration of limestone was 0.3 ml/min of CO2 flow rate, 2 ml of NH4OH per 0.01 M of regent grade CaSO4 . 2H20O and the optimum regeneration temperature was 50. The increaser was the number of times of limestone regeneration, the faster was the breakthrough point of desulfurization at the desulfurination process which the regenerated limestone was used. Then the efficiency of desulrurization was decreased. This study can be confirmed the possibility for reuse of regenerated limestone due to the similarity of desulfurization characteries both reagent grade calcium carbonate and regenerated calcium carbonate. Finally, it appeared that the new technology using regenerated 1imestone can be applied to the FGD process.

The pH & alkalinity adjustment method by lime and carbon dioxide($CO_2$) for corrosion control in water distribution system was investigated to determine the optimum operational condition in lime adding process in water treatment plant(WTP). The mixing time at dissolution tank and sedimentation time at saturator for maintaining optimal turbidity condition of lime supernatant were 60~75 minutes and 75~95 minutes, respectively. There was no difference according to $CO_2$ adding methods such as $CO_2$ saturated water or $CO_2$ gas. But, $CO_2$ saturated water could be convenience at WTP in terms of pH control and quantitative dosing. To minimize generation of calcium carbonate products, the short time interval between adding of lime and $CO_2$ is most important. The lime should be added below 32 mg/l for preventing pH rising and generation of calcium carbonate products at the heating condition.

Sand tubules, made up of sand grains cemented by microbe-induced calcium carbonate precipitation, have been found in China's Ningxia Province. Sand tubules grow like a tree's roots about 40-60 cm below the surface. The properties of sand tubules and their bacterial community were examined. X-Ray diffraction analysis revealed that the sand tubules were associated with crystalline calcite. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the crystalline solid had a lamellar structure and lacked the presence of cells, suggesting that no bacteria acted as nucleation sites, nor that the crystalline solid was formed by the aggregation of bacteria. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis showed 11 of the 12 detectable bands were uncultured bacteria by BLAST analysis in the GenBank database, and the rest were closely related to Paenibacillus sp. (100% identity). By cultivation techniques, the only strain isolated from the sand tubule was suggested to be related to Paenibacillus sp.; no archaea were found. Furthermore, Paenibacillus sp. was demonstrated to induce calcium carbonate precipitation in vitro.

The effects of fillers on the mechanical and thermal properties of glass/novolac composites have been studied. The matrix polymer and reinforcement were novolac type phenolic resin and milled glass fiber, respectively. Three different fillers, such as calcium carbonate, aluminum oxide, and wood powder were used for glass fiber reinforced plastic(GFRP) manufacture. Gravity, moisture content, tensile and flexural strength were measured to analyze the mechanical properties of GFRP and the final composites was burned in the electronic furnace at $1000^{\circ}C$ to confirm thermal properties GFRP containing aluminium oxide shows the highest thermal stability with 32% of weight loss at $1000^{\circ}C$ for one hour. GFRP containing calcium carbonate shows the maximum flexural strength (146 MPa), but that containing wood powder dose the highest tensile strength (65 MPa). Conclusively, we found that the characteristics of final composites strongly depend on several factors, such as types of materials, contents and chemical affinity of fillers. Therefore, it is very important to set up the combination of fillers for GFRP manufacturing to improve both mechanical and thermal properties at the same time.

The purpose of this study was to find the difficulties and problems in the carbon dioxide production experiment and to suggest the device for the improvement. Many students have misconception for the smell of carbon dioxide. I found that the smell of carbon dioxide of producting through the experiment didn't concern with the quantity of calcium carbonate. I certificated that the smell of carbon dioxide was related with the concentration of hydrochloric acid. I built two trap applicaing suction in the gas production device to exclude fully the smell of carbon dioxide. So the smell of carbon dioxide was not present by passing the two trap. To find the ideal experimental conditions I perform the experiment step by step. As the result enough carbon dioxide to use for the property experiment was collected under the condition that is 60 mL of 3 molarity hydrochloric acid and 30 g calcium carbonate. I certificated to mesuring flowing quantity of carbon dioxide using the flow meter of carbon dioxide. In the improvement experiment of the property of carbon dioxide, I proposed the experiment device regarding as spreading of the gas and children's interest. To improve the problem of gas production experiment, I proposed the gas certification device using a thread.

Stable amorphous calcium carbonate were synthesized from the serial work for the synthetic conditions such as concentration of solution, reaction temperature, aging time and pH of mother liquor. By using this as a precusor, calcite, aragonite and vaterite crystal particles were obtained in the water from adequate crystallization conditions. Furthermore, characterization for flourescence were performed by using crystals which were crystallized from the Sn dopped amorphous calcium carbonate. Calcite showed the most intensive emission and the center of emission wavelength was 464 nm with pure blue color. Calcite is expected to be used as phosphor for flourescent lamp because the maximum emission intensity was obtained from the excitation with 255 nm wavelength.
