The fluorine-containing waste water tends to show a higher removal efficiency through the coagulative precipitation process with calcium. However the tetrafluoroborate produced from the etching process is difficult to remaval due to it's low reactivity with calcium. The objective of this study is improving the efficiency of fluoride ion removal in tetrafluoroborate through decomposing. Research on tetrafluoroborate decomposition depending on reaction pH, temperature, and aluminum dosage were conducted, using a laboratory-scale reactor. The result shows that the reaction of tetrafluoroborate with aluminum is faster with lower pH, higher water temperature, and higher Al/T-F (Aluminum/Total Fluoride) mole ratio. It is found that there was no big change in concentration after over 120 minutes of reaction. This study is to be able to improve the efficiency of tetrafluoroborate and fluoride wastewater treatment by using aluminum.

This study examined the remineralization effect of CPP-ACFP according to the etching time and the frequency of application. A CPP-ACFP paste was formed from a combination of CPP-ACP paste and fluorine. The remineralization effect of CPP-ACFP was measured according to the etching time and the frequency of applications of CPP-ACFP. The microhardness of 64 teeth was measured as the sound sample and observed by scanning electron microscopy. As a result, the effect on remineralization of the enamel increased with increasing etching time and frequency of application. Therefore, a CPP-ACP paste combination to fluorine in the tooth mineral CPP-ACFP paste fluoride application can be supplied with the material-advisable enamel remineralization.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of gargle and toothpaste containing low concentration with sodium fluoride on the remineralization through the surface microhardness and mineral content in enamel. After 4 weeks-application, the enamel surface was measured using microhardness tester and the calcium (Ca) and phosphorous (P) concentration of mineral content by electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) analysis. By combining fluoridated gargle with toothpaste, a remineralized enamel resulted in significantly significant differences among the four groups (p<0.05). The Ca change treated with 0.23% fluoridated toothpaste and 0.02% fluoridated gargle with 0.23% toothpaste demonstrated the highest among the other groups. In conclusion. the fluoridated gargle with toothpaste by low concentration showed a significantly greatest synergistic effect on remineralization of the enamel than the other groups.

In order to make the high purity Mn$_3$O$_4$powder for the raw material of soft ferrite, Mn is extracted from the dust and the extracted solution is refined. The dust is generated in producing a medium-low carbon ferromanganese and contains 90% Mn$_3$O$_4$. Mn$_3$O$_4$in the dust was reduced into MnO by roasting with charcoal. Injection of the 180g/L of the reduced dust into 4N HCI solution increased pH of the leaching solution higher than 5 and then a ferric hydroxide was precipitated. Because the ferric hydroxide co-precipitates with Si ion etc, Fe and Si ion was removed from the solution and the about 10% Mn solution was obtained. The solution was diluted with water to Mn-15000 ppm and $NH_4$F was injected into the diluted solution at $70^{\circ}C$ to the F-3000 ppm. As a result, Ca ion is precipitated as $CaF_2$and the residual concentration of Ca was 14 ppm. Injection of the equivalent (NH$1.5M_4$)$_2$$CO_3$solution as 2 L/min at $25^{\circ}C$ into the above solution precipitated a fine and high purity $MnCO_3$powder. The deposition was filtrated and roasted at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. As a result, $MnCO_3$powder is converted into $Mn_3$$O_4$powder and it had $8.2\mu$m of median size. The final production is above 99% $Mn_3$$O_4$powder and it satisfied the requirement of high purity $Mn_3$$O_4$powder for a raw material of soft ferrite.

The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of dental erosion according to the type of lactic acid bacteria fermented oil and to identify a method for preventing dental erosion. For the lactic acid bacteria fermented milk, liquid fermented milk, condense-stirred type fermented milk, and condense-drink type fermented milk were used, and bovine tooth specimens used in the experiment were used. As a method to prevent dental erosion, the method of adding calcium to the lactic acid bacteria fermented milk, the method of applying high and low concentrations of fluoride to the teeth before exposure to the lactic acid bacteria fermented milk, and the method of applying these two methods together were measured to measure the preventive effect of dental erosion. As a result of immersing the specimen in the experimental beverage, the surface hardness of liquid fermented milk decreased the most. When comparing the difference in surface hardness before and after prophylaxis care, the Ca 2% group and the NaF 0.05%+Ca 0.5% group showed no significant difference from the negative control group, confirming that it is an effective method for preventing dental erosion. However, considering the change in taste and the stability of ingredients, a method of adding calcium at a low concentration rather than adding a high concentration of calcium is proposed. Therefore, it is recommended to use low-concentration calcium and low-concentration fluoride together to recognize the possibility of dental erosion when ingesting lactic acid bacteria and to prevent dental erosion caused by it.

With the development of modern microelectronics technologies, the power density of electronic devices is rapidly increasing, due to the miniaturization or integration of device elements which operate at high frequency, high power conditions. Resulting thermal problems are known to cause power leakage, device failure and deteriorated performance. To relieve heat accumulation at the interface between chips and heat sinks, thermal interface materials (TIMs) must provide efficient heat transport in the through-plane direction. We report on the enhanced thermal conduction of $Al_2O_3-based$ polymer composites, fabricated by the surface wetting and texturing of thermally conductive hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN) nanoplatelets with large anisotropy in morphology and physical properties. The thermally conductive polymer composites were prepared with hybrid fillers of $Al_2O_3$ macro beads and surface modified h-BN nanoplatelets. Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has high thermal conductivity and is one of the most suitable materials for thermally conductive polymer composites, which protect electronic devices by efficient heat dissipation. In this study, we synthesized hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles by the pyrolysis of cost effective precursors, boric acid and melamine. Through pyrolysis at $900^{\circ}C$ and subsequent annealing at $1500^{\circ}C$, hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles with diameters of ca. 50nm were synthesized. We demonstrate that the addition of a small amount of calcium fluoride ($CaF_2$) during the preparation of the melamine borate adduct significantly enhanced the crystallinity of the h-BN and assisted the growth of nanoplatelets up to 100nm in diameters. The addition of a small amount of h-BN enhanced the thermal conductivity of the $Al_2O_3-based$ polymer composites, from 1.45W/mK to 2.33 W/mK.

This study attempted to utilize ultrafine precipitated calcium carbonate for fluoride removal from the wastewater of electronics industries. An average particle size of the calcium carbonate was $0.96{\mu}m$, and pH of the aqueous slurry was 10 with 70% in mass. The suspension solution showed approximately 2 mL/hr of the sedimentation rate. The present calcium carbonate solution could be comparable to the conventional aqueous calcium source, $Ca(OH)_2$, for the neutralization and removal of fluoride ions. Depending on the amount of an additional alkali source, less amounts of test Ca-source slurries were required to reach the solution pH of 7.0 than that of using the aqueous calcium hydroxide. It was also found from XRD analysis that more calcium fluoride precipitates were formed by the addition of calcium carbonate solution rather than that of calcium hydroxide. In addition, Minteq equilibrium modelling estimated various ion complexes of fluoride and calcium in this process.

This work was initiated both to maximize purity of calcium fluoride sludge and to minimize water content in the settled sludge. The sludge was produced in the process of fluoride removal of semiconductor wastewater by the addition of $Ca^{2+}$ ion. Fludized bed reactor(FBR) using calcium fluoride as a seed was adapted. Optimum pH and molar ratio of $Ca^{2+}/F^-$ were determined in lab-scale study. The experimental results showed that fluoride removal was increased as pH and molar ratio of $Ca^{2+}/F^-$ increased, with the best removal of 79.8% in an optimum condition. In the optimum point of fluoride removal, very low ${PO_4}^{3-}$-P removal of 9.3% was observed. It indicates forming $CaF_2$ crystal of high purity, when side reaction of calcium with phosphate was minimized. In addition, water content of settled sludge was 19.3%, which is relatively low compared to other fluoride removal processes. Consequently, the FBR process proposed in this study was very effective in fluoride removal, producing good sludge of high purity and less water content.
