Rheological properties of whole soybean gel(soygel) were investigated as affected by the water addition ratio, stirring time and Ca salts. The soygel was prepared by suspension of whole soy flour(WSF, 300 mesh) in boiling water, addition of sodium alginate and Ca salts followed by thorough mixing and gel formation at $4^{\circ}C$. The texture properties of hardness, adhesiveness and cohesiveness of the gel were increased as the stirring time prolonged from 5 to 30 minutes. From the results of the rheological and sensory properties, 20 minutes of stirring time was selected for whole soybean gel preparation. Eventhough increase in water addition ratio from 8 to 12 times(water/WSF, v/w) resulted a decrease in hardness and adhesiveness, 10 times ratio was chosen as proper the water addition based on textural uniformity. Among the Ca salts, $CaSO_4$ produced the highest hardness followed by Ca $gluconate-CaSO_4$ mixture(413g) and Ca gluconate at the water addition level of 10 times. In order to determine the amounts of Ca salts, and 0.125g of Ca gluconate or $CaSO_4$ per g WSF were found to be optimum in terms of textural and sensory properties. The proper mixing ratio of Ca gluconate and $CaSO_4$ was found to be 50 : 50, 25 : 75 and 0 : 100.

When germination beds of carrot seeds were treated with either 0.01M or 0.05M concentrations of Ca(NO3)2, CaSO4, MgSO4, K2SO4 and KH2PO4, an acceleration in the germination rate was observed in the groups treated with 0.01M KH2PO4 and 0.05M MgSO4 and 0.05M Ca(NO2)3. In earlier work by the author with acetone a similar result was observed and reported. The pH range in these experiments was maintained between 5.0 and 6.0. It was found that the groups treated with 0.05M K2SO4, 0.05M Ca(NO3)2, 0.05M Ca(NO3)2, 0.05M MgSO4, 0.01M KH2PO4, 0.01M Ca(NO3)2 germinated earlier than the control group. The acceleration of the germintion rate varied with the inorganic compounds used in the following descending order; 0.01M KH2PO4, 0.05M Ca(NO3)2, 0.05M K2SO4, 0.05M CaSO4 and 0.05M KH2PO4. As a result of these expriments, it occurs to the author that in the germination of carrot seeds some inorganic compounds appear to activate the osmotic function of carrot seeds causing acceleration in the germination rate.

In order to use alunite as an activator of blast furnace slag, we studied the hydration characteristics of the calcined alunite and the ground blast furnace slag. The alunite calcined at $650{\cire}C$ consists of KAl($KAl(SO_{4})_{2}$ and $Al_{2}O_{3}$. The calcined alunite reacts with $Ca(OH)_{2}$ and gypsum to form etrringite ($3CaO{\cdot}Al_{2}O_{3}{\cdot}3CaSO_{4}{\cdot}32H_{2}O$) as fellows:$2KAl(SO_{4})_{2}+2Al_{2}O_{3}+13Ca(OH)_{2}+5CaSO_{4}{\cdot}2H_{2}O+73H_{2}O{\rightarrow}3(3CaO{\cdot}Al_{2}O_{3}{\cdot}3CaSO_{4}{\cdot}32H_{2}O)+2KOH$. The $SO_{4}^{2-}$ ions from calcined alunite reacts with CaO in blast furnace slag to from gypsum, which reacts with CaO and $Al_{2}O_{3}$ to from ettringite in calcined alunite-blast furnace slag system. Therefore blast furnace slag can be activated by calcined alunite.

In general, the decomposition of $CaSO_4$ formed by sulfation reaction in the in-furnace desulfurization process using limestone has strong effect on the desulfurization reaction under the oxy-fuel combustion condition. In this study, the conversion rates were measured and reaction rates were calculated in order to investigate the effects of the experimental variables such as temperature and the concentrations of $CO_2$, $O_2$, $SO_2$, on the $CaSO_4$ decomposition reaction using DTF (Drop Tube Furnace) in the desulfurization reaction. The conversion rate and the reaction rate of $CaSO_4$ decomposition reaction were increased with reaction temperature. $CO_2$ concentration has little effect on $CaSO_4$ decomposition reaction in the presence of $O_2$. Under the same experimental conditions, the decomposition rate of $CaSO_4$ was enhanced with the decreasing the $O_2$ concentration, but vice versa with the increasing of $SO_2$ concentration.

The extraction of aluminum from coal fly nsh wa studied using H,SO, and CaF, as leachants Aluminum was effectively extracted by HF formed &om the reaction of H,SO, and CaF, which decomposed the mullite in fly ash. The cffeas of H,SO' and CaFi concentration, reaction temperature, and reacliou time on aluminum extraction were investigated. 97% of aluminum was extracted by 4 M H:SO, and 0.5 M CaF, at 106$^{\circ}$C for 10 houci.

Effects of K2SO4 and Na2SO4 on C3S formation and its microstructure were investigated. C3S formation was not influenced by addition up to 6.0wt% of K2SO4 as SO3 base, however it was prevented by only 1.0wt% of Na2SO4 addition. C3S prevention by added Na2SO4 was the reason why C2S stabilized by Na+ and SO42- could not react to C3S. Added K2SO4 appeared as K2SO4, however added Na2SO4 appeared as the form of Na2xCa3-xAl2O6, (Na0.8Ca0.1)SO4 and Na2SO4 in interstitial phase.

The hydration mechanism of the $3CaO{\cdot}Al_2O_3-CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ system in the presence of alkali sulfates has been investigated. The early hydration rate of $3CaO{\cdot}Al_2O_3$ was accelerated by the addition of $Na_2SO_4$ and $K_2SO_4$. This is closely related to the formation of syngenite $(CaSO_4{\cdot}K_2SO_4{\cdot}H_2O)$, and the U-phase added $K_2SO_4$ and $Na_SO_4$ in the $3CaO{\cdot}Al_2O_3-CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ system, respectively. The formation of the rigid syngenite and U-phase structure led to rapid setting and decreases the sulfate content in the liquid phase of the hydrating cement to the extent that it cannot adequately retard the hydration of $3CaO{\cdot}Al_2O_3$. In case of the alkali sulfate not added to the $3CaO{\cdot}Al_2O_3-CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ system, the ettringite was transformed to monosulfoaluminate immediately after the consumption of gypsum. However, when the alkali sulfates were added to this system, the ettringite did not transform to monosulfoaluminate immediately even though the gypsum was completely consumed. There was a stagnation period to transform to the monosufoaluminate after the consumption of gypsum because the syngenite and U-phase remained as the sulfate source.

3CaO.3Al2O3.CaSO4(C4A3)clinker was prepared by solid state reaction and then its hydration property was investigated. C4A3 clinker was fired at various temperatures in the range of 700~135$0^{\circ}C$. The hydration of it was studied by XRD, DSC, Solid-state 27Al MAS NMR and SEM. According to the results, the Ca4A3 clinker was produced by reacting calcium aluminates with CaSO4 and Al2O3 and C4A3 was formed as a main phase after calcining at 120$0^{\circ}C$. The hydration products were mainly calcium monosulfoaluminate hydrate and Al(OH)3, and they were produced after 2hrs of hydration. However the hydration rate was about 74% at 3days.

The preparation of $CaSO_4$ nanoparticle by vesicles formed spontaneously in cationic OTAC and anionic ADS mixed surfactant solution whose ratio is 0.3/0.7 is investigated. Added electrolytes for preparing nanoparticles reduce vesicle size about 200-300 nm comparing with that of pure vesicle whose size is 700-800 nm by DLS. The core of vesicles has 200 nm size and acts as nanoreactors which same size of monodisperse $CaSO_4$ nanopaticles are formed. Although $CaSO_4$ particles are formed at the outer of vesicles, they are very large and amorphous. The formed particles are identified with XRD analysis after separation due to coinciding with $CaSO_4$ particles.

In this work, effects of limestone powder on hydration of $C_3A-CaSO_4\cdot2H_2O$ system was discussed based on the XRD Quantitative analysis, and the possibility of Delayed Ettringite Formation was also discussed. The early hydration of $C_{3}A$ was delayed by addition of $CaCO_{3}$ powder. The delay effect was enhanced by increasing of $CaCO_{3}$ content and finer powder of $CaCO_{3}$ addition. After consumption of $CaSO_4\cdot2H_2O$, the reaction of $CaCO_{3}$ is started. Delayed Ettringite Formation would take place because monosulfoaluminate is not stable in presence of $CaCO_{3}$. In order to prevent the delayed ettringite formation in $C_3A-CaSO_4\cdot2H_2O-CaCo_3$ system, the reduction of monosulfoaluminate formation is important. Therefore, by increasing the amount of $CaCO_{3}$ addition and finer $CaCO_{3}$ powder addition, the delayed ettringite formation can be prevented.
