This research is focused on an improvement of additional value of high grade limestone. To obtain the basic data of precipitated calcium carbonate(PCC), studies of physical properties of limestone, calcination and hydration characteristics, the characteristics to manufacture quick lime, hydrated lime, ground calcium carbonate and precipitated calcium carbonate were performed. In the carbonation process, formation of rombohedral must be kept under $10^{\circ}C$ for reaction. Although the temperature of reaction of lime milk was limited under $30^{\circ}C$ for a colloidal PCC manufacture, over $50^{\circ}C$ for spindle type PCC. The recommended reaction conditions for colloidal PCC are $20^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature, 4% of $Ca(OH)_2$ concentration, 1000rpm of stirring rate and 200ml/min of $CO_2$ gas flow rate.

The effectiveness of fly ash-, quicklime-, and quicklime-fly ash-based stabilization/solidification(S/S) in chromium(Cr) contaminated soils was investigated using modified semi-dynamic leaching tests. Artificial soil samples composed of kaolinite or montmorillonite contaminated with chromium nitrate(4000 mg $Cr^{3+}\;kg^{-1}$ of solid) were prepared and then subjected to S/S treatment using quicklime, fly ash, or quick lime-fly ash. The effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated by assessing the cumulative fraction of leached $Cr^{3+}$ as well as, by computing the effective diffusivity ($D_e$) and the leachability index (LX) of the treated samples. The reduction in $Cr^{3+}$ release for the untreated samples was more pronounced in the presence of montmorillonite, which was attributed to sorption. Treatment with quicklime, fly ash, or quick lime-fly ash was significantly effective in reducing $Cr^{3+}$ release most probably due to the formation of pozzolanic reaction products and $Cr(OH)_3$ precipitation. The most effective treatment was observed in montmorillonite-sand soil samples treated with quicklime-fly ash (99.8% removal). The mean $D_e$ decreased significantly and the mean LX was greater than 9 for all treated samples, indicating that the treated soils were acceptable for "controlled utilization". The mechanism controlling $Cr^{3+}$ leaching from all treated samples during the first 5 days appeared to be diffusion.

Lime-soil consolidations are very important as structural material, bonding material, waterproofing material, and finishing material in korea traditional buildings. In this study, we investigated site application trouble in korea traditional buildings being repaired or restored, and propose following solutions. 1) To diminish quality variation occurred by slaking quick-lime in site, it is desirable to use slaked-lime for lime-soil consolidation. 2) For uniform construction of lime-soil consolidation, we would recommend builders to use mixer to be uniform mixture, premixed type materials and compacting machine in field, 3) and to use rigid suitable temporary construction as scaffold for preventing traditional buildings from additional damage occurred in demolition and construction of a layer of lime-soil consolidation of a roofing. 4) For suitable repair of traditional buildings, it is necessary to specify definitely materials and construction methods suggested by the standard specifications for repair of the cultural property.

It has been recently reported that the presence of sulphate causes abnormal volume changes in lime-stabilized soils. Volume changes in lime-stabilized soils can take place due to sulphate compounds such as ettringite. Sulphate compounds caused a variety of serious geotechnical hazards such as swelling pressure and damages to light structures and pavements. This paper discusses the influence of sulphate on the soil specimens treated with quicklime and chemical additives. The physical and mechanical characteristics were studied by means of laboratory tests. The results showed that the presence of sulphate treated soil reduced the shear strength of the lime treated soils and increased the swelling properties. SEM and XRD results indicated that the presence of sulphate producted needle-like crystals such as ettringite. Moreover, the role of needle-like crystals in specimen was probably related to the swelling properties.

An experiment was conducted to determine the reaction of boric acid with lime and the drying of its product using a reactor-dryer. no characteristics of dried products were observed. The major chemical species of dried Products was calcium borate of 2CaO.B$_2$O$_3$. From the particle size distribution of the dried products, it was found that quick lime was better than slaked lime as an additive. The Ca/B mole ratio of reaction was determined to be 3/4 considering the cohesion and agglomeration properties of dried products. The flowability of dried products up to 8 wt% of water content was acceptable for transport process and to reduce drying time.

The present study investigated the physical changes and reaction products with setting time after mixing of various mineral admixtures such as lime, hydrated lime, gypsum, kaolin, zeolite and diatomaceous earth with four types of cement (portland cement, slag cement, quick lime, hydrated lime) and clay rich sediments in soft foundation. As results, slag cement showed the greater compressive strength than normal portland cement. The mixing experiments with various mineral admixtures and slag cement resulted that gypsum showed the greatest compressive strength. Additionally, we conducted mixing experiments with various mixing ratios of gypsum and slag cement. The experiments showed that the mixing ratio of $30\%$ gypum and $70\%$ slag cement has the greatest compressive strength. Ettringite was produced as a reaction Product. This fact indicates that gypsum effectively promotes hydration reaction and contributed to the greater compressive strength. These experimental results can be used as fundamental data for the stabilization of soft clay foundation.

In this paper, a laboratory investigation was carried out to change the geotechnical properties of clayey soil with quicklime and rice husk ash for surplus soil strength improvement. The organic content of soils is 8.67%, 6.45% and 3.84% respectively. The geotechnical properties of treated soil were evaluated by a series of laboratory unconfined compression test, consolidation test and etc. The test results indicated that the presence of RHA enhanced the efficiency of lime stabilization. Especially, the increase in strength is very high at the first stage, while the significant improvement occurs in a sample C with organic content of 3.84%. These results can be identified by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscope(SEM). The results of consolidation test indicate that the presence of RHA with lime reduces the properties of swelling of soil. Thus, it was verified that the addition of RHA is more effective than using only lime for soil stabilization.

This paper presents the results of the geotechnical investigation and settlement analysis of a finished waste landfill to find the possibility of the site as a construction area. Also, the variations of the strength of the municipal waste after mixing with the several types of the particulate grouts are investigated. The materials of the grouts used in the experiment are Quick Lime, Portland Cement, Slag Cement and Geocrete Cement. The results of the geotechnical investigation show that the maximum dry unit weight of the waste becomes lower and optimum moisture content higher as the age of the disposed waste is younger and the organic content is higher. The thickness of the predicted differential settlements of the waste fill has large difference from location to location and the unconfined compression strength of the grout mixed waste from the experiment was higher in the order of Geocrete Cement, Slag Cement, Portland Cement and Quick Lime.

Blast furnace slag is recycled as a high value-added material, while steel slag is difficult to recycle or is recycled as a low-grade filler material due to its expansive characteristics. Its property is caused by the high content of free lime and instable steel oxides. Recently, an innovative and rapid cooling method for melting steel slag has been developed in Korea, which reduces free lime content to a minimum level and increases the stability of steel oxides. However, researches on the long-term stability are not sufficient so far. Therefore, this study, focusing on the electric arc furnace oxidizing slag in the steel slag, aims to investigate the properties of the steel slag aggregate, its long-term volume stability and the engineering strength of mortar, and using it as a fine aggregate. This study result indicated that it was possible for it to be used as concrete aggregate because the volume change of the steel slag appeared to be stable.
