This study was performed to investigate the efficiency of the corrosion prevention in the simulated distribution system using CCPP(Calcium Carbonate Precipitation Potential) as the anti-corrosive index by adjusting pH, total dissolved solids, alkalinity and calcium hardness in the water treatment pilot process. The materials of the simulated distribution system(SDS) were equiped with same materials of real field water distribution system. CCPP concentrations controlled by $Ca(OH)_2$, $CO_2$ gas and $Na_2CO_3$ in the simulated distribution system and uncontrolled by the chemicals in the general water distribution system were average 0.61 mg/L and -7.77 mg/L. The concentrations of heavy metals like Fe, Zn, Cu ions in effluent water of the simulated distribution system controlled with water quality were decreased rather than the general water distribution system uncontrolled with water quality. In simulated distribution system(SDS), corrosion prevention film formed by CCPP control was observed that scale was come into forming six months later and it was formed into density as time goes on. We were analyzed XRD(X-ray diffraction) for investigating component of crystal compounds and structure for galvanized steel pipe(15 mm). Finding on analysis, scale was compounded to $Zn_4CO_3(OH)_6{\cdot}H_2O$ (Zinc Carbonate Hydroxide Hydrate) after ten months late, and it was compounded on $CaCO_3$(Calcium Carbonate) and $ZnCO_3$(Smithsonite) after nineteen months later.

In this study, unstable CaO was converted into a stable Ca compound by using carbonation in a circulating fluidized bed boiler of fly ash to confirm material usability as cement admixture; also undertaken was carbonation test and mortar to examine chemical and physical change by measuring absorption rate and compressive strength. To investigate the chemical properties of circulating fluidized bed boiler fly ash, XRD and TG-DTA were used to determine how the properties of the reaction product change quantitatively during carbonation. In order to stabilize CaO, carbonation of CaO is considered to be the most desirable process. This is because $CaCO_3$, which is a Ca compound, was produced by carbonate reaction of unstable CaO, and decrease of the absorption rate and improvement of the compressive strength were observed when the carbonated fly ash was replaced with cement.

Within the elderly population, the use of calcium supplements and the intake of calcium from food are on the rise in order to maintain health. Calcium is absorbed as an ion in vivo, leading to speculation that absorption efficiency is affected by the solubility of the calcium consumed. In our study, the bioavailability of two types of calcium supplements with different solubilities was evaluated. Experimental animals were fed water-soluble or insoluble calcium supplements for 6 weeks. We found that blood alkali phosphatase activity, osteocalcin content, and urine crosslinks values were not different between the groups. Similarly, the degree of apparent calcium absorption between the two calcium supplements was not significantly different. The bone mineral density and bone mineral content of the femur and the tibia increased in the group that consumed insoluble calcium compared with those of the water-soluble calcium supplemented group. However, when considering body weight, the bone mineral density value for all areas, including the spine, was significantly higher in the group that consumed the water-soluble calcium supplement.

This study was investigated the environment of waste shells such as oyster, cockle and paphia on southern shore in korea and established the recycling method to prevent the environmental pollution, etc. The waste shells were reclaimed at public shore illegally or leaved on the surroundings of shore. The origin mechanism, XRD and TG-DTA analyses were performed to effective recycling of waste shells, and the optimal recycling method was preparation of the calcium carbonate. In this work, calcium carbonate and lime fertilizer of granular shape were prepared using the waste shell.

Mechanical properties of mortars and concretes blended with GCC(Ground Calcium Carbonate slurry) and silica fume were investigated. Results from this study showed that air contents of mortars were constant regardless of replacement of GCC and flow values of mortars were decreased with replacement of it. Especially, mortars and concretes replaced with 10% of GCC had a good trend with respect to compressive strength. In case of simultaneous use of GCC and silica fume, the workability and compressive strength of the concretes seem not to be any problems in mechanical properties. This study indicated that the most reasonable replacement of GCC was 10% and the addition as fine aggregate was more effective than that as binder.

Acicular type aragonite precipitated calcium carbonate was synthesized by carbonation reaction of $Ca(OH)_2$ slurry and $CO_2$ gas. As increasing the initial concentration of $Mg^{2+}$ ion, calcite crystal phase substantially decreased while that of aragonite crystal phase increased. According to XRD and EDS analysis, it was found that the addition of $MgCl_2$ induced the $Mg^{2+}$ ion to substitute in $Ca^{2+}$ ion site of calcite lattice then the unstabled calcite structure be resolved, consequently the growth of calcite structure is interrupted while the growth of aragonite structure is expedited.

The Asia Pacific papermaking giants are China, Japan and Korea followed by Indonesia. The strong trends in recent years have been the move to alkaline/neutral sizing which has assisted the move from kaolin and talc as the major filler minerals to ground calcium carbonate and precipitated calcium carbonate. Kaolin remains important as a constituent in many coating formulations and Chinese-sourced talc, due to its brightness and price will remain important especially in paper filler minerals. The need for ever increasing printing surface quality and continuing efforts by the paper manufacturers to keep costs under control will ensure minerals in papermaking will continue to be a dynamic subject in the years ahead.

AKD sizing behavior of handsheets, which were prepared from the different pulps with various AKD fixing agents, was studied in this investigation. AKD sizing performance could be improved by removal of fines in the stock, minimizing damage of fiber, using a suitable fixing agent and heat treatment. Fillers with low surface energy, like calcium carbonate and talc, showed quite positive effect in AKD sizing. When PAM was added to the DIP stock as fixing agent, it showed lower sizing degree than polyamine did. But in case of NBKP system, PAM was more effective than polymine.

In order to understand the mechanism of cementation of soft soils treated with bacteria, three types of specimens(untreated, normal bacteria concentration treated, and high bacteria concentration treated) were made. Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM), EDX and X-ray diffraction(XRD) analyses were performed on the soft silt and loose sand specimens. Compared with the untreated specimen, a clearer cementation between particles was observed in the high bacteria concentration treated specimen. Based on the scanning electron microscope(SEM) EDX analyses, more calcium carbonate was observed in the specimen treated with high bacteria concentration than other specimens. On the basis of the preliminary results, it appears that microbial cementation can occur in the soft soil. Further study on the cementation of soils using bacteria is necessary to validate this result.

Permeable polymer concrete can be applied to roads, sidewalks, river embankment, drain pipes, conduits, retaining walls, yards, parking lots, plazas, interlocking blocks, etc.. This study was to explore a possibility of using stone dust and heavy calcium carbonate as fillers for the permeable polymer concrete. Different mixing pro-portions were tried to find an optimum mixing proportion of the permeable polymer concrete. The tests were carried out at 20 f 1 t and 60 ${\pm}$ 2% relative humidity. At 7 days of curing, compressive, flexural and splitting tensile strengths and water permeability ranged between 209~246kgf/cm$^2$, 101 ~ l2lkgf/cm$^2$, 36~52kgf/cm$^2$ and 3.076 ~ 4.390L/cm$^3\;^2$/hr, respectively. It was concluded that the stone dust and heavy calcium carbonate could be used in the permeable polymer concrete.
