It was difficult for the existing rotary kiln to fabricate the fine aggregates under 3 mm due to the sticking phenomenon between specimens. In this study, the vertical type fluidizing furnace was designed and manufactured by which the lightweight fine aggregates of specific gravity $1.1{\sim}1.7$, water absorption $11{\sim}19%$ could be fabricated from the green body of clay: stone sludge: spent bleaching clay = 60 : 30 : 10 (wt%) without sticking-together happening. The minimum sintering temperature for bloating of aggregates was $1130^{\circ}C$. The specimens sintered over $1140^{\circ}C$ showed the typical bloating characteristics of lightweight aggregates and an inner layer was discovered due to widened cracks on a surface. But the crack on a surface did not propagate into a black core area so had no effect on a water absorption of aggregates. The sintering temperature made the thickness of shell and the black core area thin and expanded respectively but the sintering time did not affect the microsturcture of aggregates. The water absorption of aggregates decreased with increasing temperature owing to increased amount of liquid formed on a surface. Also sintering time affected a lot on a water absorption because it takes a time to form a liquid, which change the open pores to closed pores by blocking.

The physical and chemical properties of polyurethane-yieding twofomponent liquid injection mixture and those of the resulting polyurethane solid foam for chemical grouting are investigated. The chemical experiments on the factors influencing the properties of polyurethane show that the behaviors of polyurethane-yielding liquid material and those of the produced polyurethane solid foam are greatly affected by the ground conditions such as temperature, water content and density of soil. The ground reinforcing and water -blocking effects of polyurethane grouting are examined through field case history of tunnel ericavati on of the subway under construction.

The industries use polymer materials for many purposes because they have many merits. But these materials' costs take up too much proportion in overall cost of products that use these materials as their major material. So it is very economical for polymer industries to reduce these costs. Microcellular foaming process appeared in 1980's to solve this problem and it proved to be quite successful. This process uses inert gases such as CO2, N2. As these gases are dissolved into polymer matrices. many properties are changed. Glass transition temperature is one of these properties. DSC, DMA are devices that measures this temperature, but these are not sufficient to measure the temperature of polymer containing gas. In this paper, we devised a new tester that uses magnetism. We used this device to acquire data of the change of glass transition temperature and made Cha-Yoon model that can predict the change of glass transition temperature. Using this model, the change of this temperature can be estimated as a function of weight gain of gas. Cha-Yoon model proved that Chow's model is inappropriate to predict the change of glass transition temperature of polymer matrices containing gas.

EAF dust from steel industry used as primary materials for the production of lightweight aggregates. Fe compounds in EAF dust plays an important role in the bloating reaction. This study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using bottom ash and dredged soil from coal power plant and EAF dust. The effect of different raw material compositions and sintering temperatures on the lightweight aggregate properties were evaluated. The characteristic of thermal bloating of bottom ash and dredged soil were mainly influenced by ferrous materials. The specific gravity of aggregate was decreased with the addition of EAF dust and kerosene was reduced sintering temperature on the bloating formation. Lightweight aggregate containing 10% EAF dust having apparent density under 1.0 g/$cm^3$ were produced at $1150{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$.

A sol-gel method was applied to coat TiO$_2$ on porous silica prepared using slurry foaming method from silica. from the results of XRD, SEM, and BET, the anatase phase was firstly observed at the coated supports with the heated of 50$0^{\circ}C$. The coated supports with the heated of $700^{\circ}C$ had the maximum anatase peak, and the particle size of coated TiO$_2$ was about 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Bending strength and gas permeability of the porous silica were measured for the feasibility as a catalytic supports. In case of the uncoated porous materials with the strength of 2.4 MPa, the strength increased to 3.9∼4.3 MPa after the coating process regardless of the heating temperature. On the other hand, the permeability of the uncoated porous materials decreased from 770${\times}$10$^{-13}$ $m^2$ to 363${\times}$10$^{-13}$ $m^2$ after the coating process, and it decreased with the increasing heating temperature.

The artificial aggregates were fabricated by using the inorganic wastes, dredged soil produced at a dredging work. The input temperature ($800{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$), output temperature ($1100{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$) and heating rate ($5{\sim}10^{\circ}C$/min) in sintering process were controlled to fabricate the aggregates with various value of density and water absorption, and their properties were analyzed as a function of those factors. The specimens sintered at the lower input temperature showed the higher density and the lower water absorption while those with higher input temperature had many pores inside of the aggregates, lower density and higher water absorption. Also increasing the input temperature accelerated the black core phenomenon in the aggregates. The bloating phenomena which the gigantic pores were generated inside the aggregates were improved as increasing the output temperature, but its effect was lower than that of input temperature. It could be realized that the bloating tendency was improved from the results that the density was increased and water absorption was decreased with increasing heating rate from 5 to $10^{\circ}C$/min. It was found that the artificial aggregates of light or heavy weight with various value of density and water absorption could be fabricated by using dredged soils naturally involving gas and fluxing components by controlling the sintering conditions.

In this study, sintering properties of Artificial Lightweight aggregates(ALAs) prepared from coal ash as a function of sintering temperature (900$^{\circ}$C, 1000$^{\circ}$C, 1100$^{\circ}$C) and time (2min, 5min, 10min) when limestone added as lightweight mineral was investigated. Increasing the sintering temperature resulted simultaneously from a decline of quartz mineral as well as growth of mullite mineral. Addition of limestone to ALAs newly formed sintered minerals such as clinoptilolite and plagioclase. Sintering effect of ALAs prepared from coal ash and limestone was more affected by a sintering temperature than time. As sintering temperature and time increae, transition of macropore to micropore and formation of closed pores were happened, consequently shrank the total pore volume of ALAs. The surface of ALAs sintered at 1000$^{\circ}$C for 5min was nearly not detected open pores due toe amalgamation effect of molten slag layer but homogeneous distributions of closed pores with micro-scale were examined in cross sectional area ALAs. Sintering temperature and time which present the most adequate state, in the preparation of ALAs, are corresponded to 1000$^{\circ}$C and 5min, respectively.

Biological nutrient removal(BNR) process used in this study, which was packed with EPS(expanded polystylene) media, has more many advantages in aspect of reducing hydraulic retention time(HRT) of the process and having less effect of temperature in the winter season than commercial process in the present. Bench-scale study was performed using domestic wastewater. In the results, it was observed that the T-N removal efficiencies in HRT 6 hr and HRT 4 hr were 55% and 51%, respectively, showing the small reduction (about 4%) of T-N removal efficiency according to shortening of HRT. In comparison of T-N removal characteristic in summer and winter seasons, it showed that T-N removal efficiencies in summer and winter seasons were 65% and 54%, respectively, showing the 11% lower T-N removal efficiency in winter season than in summer season due to deterioration of nitrification in winter season. In the studies of influent loading rate and C/N ratio, the process showed stable effluent quality under the condition of broad influent loading rate and C/N ratio. Therefore, it is anticipated that the developed process in this study could be applicable to small wastewater treatment plant in nutrient removal.

Metal foam is one of the most interesting materials with various multi-functional properties such as light weight, energy absorption, high stiffness and damping capability. Among them, energy absorption property has keen interests in the field of automotives for passenger protection. Nowadays, researches about pore size and porosity control of the foam are increased to correspond them. However, though energy absorption properties are improved, these results are not cost-effective process. In present research, however, as a part of improving the energy absorption property of metallic foams, 606X aluminum alloy was used for cell wall material which has higher strength than pure aluminum. And its morphological features are characterized. As a results, porosity and pore size are uniformity distribution with increasing foaming temperature in the case of 6061 alloy foams. 6063 alloy foam specimens have opposite tendency because of the influence of alloying element and viscosity of the molten melt.
