Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) can be utilized in energy-effective paper production. Limestone is a raw material for synthesizing PCC. Since the PCC production yield depends on the physicochemical properties of the limestone, a basic investigation of the raw limestone is required. This study provides a brief review of the origin of limestone, limestone distribution characteristics, and limestone deposits in Korea and Vietnam. Most limestones in Korea were formed in the Paleozoic era. On the other hand, limestones in Vietnam have various ages from the Precambrian to the Triassic. Limestone is the most largely produced mineral in Korea, but Vietnam has 5 times more amount of limestone reserves than Korea.

To measure the proximate composition and mineral content of laver Porphyra yezoensis, we collected 30 raw and 30 dried laver from the major production area of the south coast of Korea (Busan, Goheung, Haenam, Wando). The approximate composition of a 100 g edible portion of raw laver was $89.9{\pm}1.4$ g moisture, $3.7{\pm}1.0$ g protein, $0.5{\pm}0.2$ g lipids, $2.1{\pm}1.8$ g carbohydrate and $3.9{\pm}0.6$ g ash. The approximate composition of a 100 g portion of dried laver was $8.9{\pm}1.6$ g moisture, $31.5{\pm}6.5$ g protein, $1.9{\pm}0.3$ g lipids, $48.4{\pm}6.5$ g carbohydrate and $9.3{\pm}1.1$ g ash. No clear regional variation in laver composition was observed. The mineral content of laver was expressed as dry weight. The mean macro mineral content per 100 g portion of raw laver was (in descending order): K ($1,979{\pm}863.0$ mg), Na ($1,063.2{\pm}498.8$ mg), P ($658.7{\pm}101.8$ mg), Mg ($432.3{\pm}83.5$ mg) and Ca ($394.2{\pm}136.5$ mg). In comparison, the mean micro mineral content of raw laver was (in descending order): Fe ($243.72{\pm}154.75\;{\mu}g/g$), Zn ($72.76{\pm}30.61\;{\mu}g/g$), Mn ($41.53{\pm}15.33\;{\mu}g/g$), Cu ($4.16{\pm}1.66\;{\mu}g/g$) and Ni ($0.43{\pm}0.70\;{\mu}g/g$) No clear regional variation in the mineral content of laver was observed; however, raw laver contained a higher mineral content than dried laver.

In this paper, we reported that the global trend of cement production and utilization as raw materials and as a fuel. As we know, cement is one of the significant materials required for the construction industry. The recent trend of rising urbanization, both the cement and construction industry played a vital role. The cement industry is a major sustainable infrastructure for the countries. Currently, China producing cement half of the world's cement production. During the year 2018, Korea producing cements nearly 57.5 million metric tons. Waste materials are used as circular resources and also having tremendous benefits for cement production. Another important use of these circular resources is fuel for the cement industry. There is a large potential benefit of the cement industry, but it's creating a severe environmental threat. The cement industry contributes to the major emissions of CO2. This leads the global warming. As per the Paris agreement, the Korean government initiated the recycling policy of waste materials and also the utilization of circular resources for the prevention of limited natural resources and also the global warming effect.

Monazite is a phosphate mineral that contains thorium (Th) and rare earth elements. The Th concentration in monazite can be as high as 500 ppm, and it has the potential to be used as fuel in the nuclear power system. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct the techno-economic analysis (TEA) of Th extraction in the form of thorium oxide (ThO₂) from monazite. Th can be extracted from monazite through an alkaline fusion method. The TEA of ThO₂ production studied parameters, including raw materials, equipment costs, total plant direct and indirect costs, and direct fixed capital cost. These parameters were calculated for the production of 0.5, 1, and 10 ton ThO₂ per batch. The TEA study revealed that the highest production cost was ascribed to installed equipment. Furthermore, the highest return on investment (ROI) of 21.92% was achieved for extraction of 1 ton/batch of ThO₂, with a payback time of 4.56 years. With further increase in ThO₂ production to 10 ton/batch, the ROI was decreased to 5.37%. This is mainly due to a significant increase in the total capital investment with increasing ThO₂ production scale. The minimum unit production cost was achieved for 1 ton ThO₂/batch equal to 335.79 $/Kg ThO₂.

Currently, 3D printing technology is a new revolutionary additive manufacturing process that can be used for making three dimensional solid objects from digital films. In 2019, this 3D printing technology spreading vigorously in production parts (57%), bridge production (39%), tooling, fixtures, jigs (37%), repair, and maintenance (38%). The applications of 3D printing are expanding to the defense, aerospace, medical field, and automobile industry. The raw materials are playing a key role in 3D printing. Various additive materials such as plastics, polymers, resins, steel, and metals are used for 3D printing to create a variety of designs. The main advantage of the green cement for 3D printing is to enhance the mechanical properties, and durability to meet the high-quality material using in construction. There are several advantages with 3D printing is a limited waste generation, eco-friendly process, economy, 20 times faster, and less time-consuming. This research article reveals that the role of green cement as an additive material for 3D printing.

Aim: Historically, mineral compound herbal medicines have long been used in treatments of immune-related diseases in Korea, China and other Asian countries. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of egg white combined with chalcanthite (IS4) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Methods: RAW 264.7 cells cultured with LPS and various concentrations of IS4 were analyzed to determine the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators by using enzyme-linked immune sorbent assays (ELISAs). Results: IS4 concentration inhibited the production of interleukin-1beta (IL-$1{\beta}$), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) induced by LPS. IS4 at high concentrations (25 and 50 ${\mu}g/ml$) inhibited, in concentration-dependent manner, the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$) stimulated by LPS. Conclusion: IS4 has shown an anti-inflammatory effect in RAW 264.7 cells.

Mineral fiber, or be called mineral wool when it assembles in large amounts, is a kind of wide applied man-made material with excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties. In this work, mineral fiber was produced via melt spinning method by using iron blast furnace slag as raw material. Two critical experimental parameters for fabrication were investigated: melt pouring temperature and rotating speed of spinning wheels. The mineral fiber produced under the condition of melt pouring temperature $1500^{\circ}C$ and spinning speed 4000 rpm, showed the smoother surface and most quality, while the others had rough surfaces or with heavy shots. In general, mineral fibers with the size in the range of $12{\sim}49{\mu}m$ in diameter and 8~130 mm in length can be fabricated by this method, and the production rate is more than 34 wt.%, which could be up to 57 wt.% at maximum.

최근 들어 첨단산업에 활용되는 핵심광물의 확보를 위한 광물수요국들의 대응이 빠르게 진행되고 있다. 흑연은 중국 생산량이 압도적 우위에 있지만, EV 배터리 부문의 기하급수적인 성장에 따라 글로벌 공급에서 변화가 초래되고 있으며, 동 아프리카에서의 활발한 탐사가 좋은 사례이다. 우리나라에서도 생산이 증가되고 있다. 희토류는 첨단산업에 폭넓게 사용되고 있는 핵심원료이다. 세계적으로 희토류를 생산하는 광상은 카보너타이트형, 라테라이트형 및 이온흡착형 광상이 개발 중에 있다. 중국의 생산이 다소 감소되는 추세이지만 여전히 압도적인 우위를 점하고 있다. 최근 수년간의 변화는 미얀마의 급부상과 베트남의 생산 증가이다. 니켈은 다양한 화학 및 금속 산업에 사용되어 온 금속이지만 최근 밧데리 비중이 점차 증가되고 있는 추세이다. 세계 니켈 광상은 초염기성암에서 유래된 유화형 광상과 라테라이트형 광상으로 크게 구분된다. 유화형 광상은 호주에서 개발이 지속적으로 증가 할 것으로 예측되며, 라테라이트형 광상은 인도네시아에서의 개발이 촉진 될 것으로 보인다. 리튬이온 배터리 수요에 따라 니켈 시장도 견인될 것으로 전망된다. 세계 리튬 광상은 염호형(78%)과 암석/광물형(스포듀민 19%), 점토형(3%)이 생산되고 있다. 암석형 광상이 염호형 광상보다 품위가 다소 높지만 매장량이 적고 페그마타이트에 함유된 스포듀민 리튬광물이 대상이다. 칠레, 아르헨티나, 미국에서는 염호형 광상을 주로 개발하고 있으며, 호주와 중국에서는 염호 및 암석/광물 두 근원으로부터 리튬을 추출하고 있고 캐나다에서는 암석/광물로부터만 생산한다. 바나듐은 전통적으로 강철 합금에 약 90% 이용되어 왔으나 최근 대규모 전력 저장을 위한 바나듐 레독스 흐름배터리 용도가 증가 추세에 있다. 세계 바나듐 공급원은 광산에서 생산하는 바나듐을 함유한 철광석(81%)과 부산물에서 회수하는 바나듐(2차 근원, 18%)으로 양대분 된다. 81%를 차지하는 바나듐-철광석 근원은 제강공정에서 유래된 바나듐 슬래그가 70%를 차지하고 광산에서 생산하는 1차 근원인 광석은 30%에 불가하다. 이러한 공급원으로부터 중간재인 바나듐 산화물이 제조된다. 바나듐 광상은 함바나듐 티탄자철석형 광상, 사암 모암형 광상, 셰일 모암형 광상과 바나듐산염형 광상으로 구분되는데 함바나듐 티탄자철석형 광상만이 현재 개발되고 있다.
