A porous ceramic which has fine porosity and small specific gravity is made with Cenosphere and Ball Clay under condition of $1,250^{\circ}C$ in calcination temperature and 30 minutes of calcination time. The average size of porous ceramic was about $2.5{\times}10^{-5}$ m and pores are well developed. The void-fraction of porous ceramic was 67.1% under the input of Cenosphere and Ball clay with the weight ratio of 100 to 5. However, as weight ratio of Ball Clay increased to 20, 40, 100, the void fraction decreased to 58.4, 56.7, 47% respectively. When the weight ratio of Cenosphere and Ball Clay was 100 to 100, the apparent density of porous ceramic was $1.04g/cm^3$. which is twice the density when the weight ratio of Ball Clay was 5. On the other hand, absorption rate decreased by at least 100%. In condition of weight ratio of Cenosphere and Ball Clay was 100 to 100, compressive strength of porous ceramic was 30 (MPa), improve by about 76% or more when the weight ratio of Ball Clay was 5.

BACKGROUND: Entomopathogenic fungi have been studied to develop for biological control agents as an alternative to chemical control agents in insect pest management. This investigated to determine the optimal culture conditions in ceramic balls for maximal sporulation of entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana M130 by use rice bran extract.METHODS AND RESULTS: METHODS AND RESULTS: A culture of entomopathogenic fungi for 12day on rice bran extract(1:8, w/v) incubated in ceramic matrix at 28℃. Natural zeolite ceramic ball was high production of 4.2×108 conidial/mL. The culture condition optimized initial pH, temperature, rice bran extract concentration, adhesives substance and concentration of NaCl, respectively. The high production of spore optimal conditions were temperature 28℃, initial pH 3, rice bran extract 3 mL, starch 33 g, 5 % NaCl and sopre suspension 7 mL, respectively.CONCLUSION: This study was carried out for the mass production of entomopathogenic fungi conidia recover rate 65% in matrix of natural zeolite ceramic ball, and to develop ingredient-used formulation of Beauveria bassiana M130 conidia for biological control agents.

흡착에 필요한 최적의 세라믹 볼의 소성온도는 93$0^{\circ}C$가 가장 적당하다. 공업용수 중에 용존되어 있는 유기물 및 유해성분이 제거(COD나 $BOD_{5}$)가 가능하다. Fe와 Pb의 중 금속 제거의 경우 Pb의 경우가 제거 효율이 더 크며, 이에 따른 mechanism으로 이온교환이온이 Pb의 경우 2가 양이온이기에 더욱 효율이 크고 Fe의 경우는 수화하여 구조적인 붕괴를 일으키며, 2가와 3가의 공존하므로 Pb보다 제거율이 낮다. Fe와 Pb 중금속수를 1시간 동안 제거하여 Freundlich형 등온식에 따른 계산 결과 5,10ppm에서 1/n의 수치가 2 이상을 넘지 않고 있고, 500, 1000ppm의 경우는 등온이온교환으로 할 때 1/n의 수치가 2에 근접하므로 분말의 경우에 비해 제거율이 낮지는 않다. 그러므로 경제적 이점과 재활용면에서 볼의 사용이 우수하다는 것을 알 수 있다. 장치의 용기에 비례하여 볼 때 볼의 양은 600g이 가장 적당한 양이다. 등온교환의 경우 Apatite(HAp)를 이용한 분말의 제거율 보다 약간 낮으나 분말의 경우 사용 후 취급이 용이하지 않고 2차적 오염이 예상되므로 세라믹 볼의 경우 환경친화성재료로 여러 가지의 수처라 공정에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Recently a new process known as the magnetic fluid grinding has been developed, which can remove material from the surface of ceramic balls by fifty to one hundred times more rapidly than the conventional lapping process. In this study, the ceramic balls with various compositions are made and ground by using the magnetic fluid grinding technique with various machining parameters. In order to make well-round shaped balls by using the magnetic fluid grinding technique, the fundamental research to find out the machining factors has been carried out. Developing an equipment with higher efficiency and reliability in the machining could certainly lead to the higher productivity with excellent quality of ceramic balls.

An experimental study has been conducted for the design of the regenerative oxy-fuel combustion system with ceramic ball. Various design parameters are considered such as ball size, regenerator weight, and combustion load. Regenerative system with a pair of oxygen burners and regenerators is set up and the temperature of oxygen and exhaust gas passing through ball regenerator is measured. It is shown that the temperature distributions with time are affected by ball diameter and regenerator weight, and the significant temperature change is observed by combustion load. As the ball size decreases and the regenerator weight increases, the regenerating temperature efficiency increases. It is found that the heat recovery ratio is low despites of high regeneration temperature efficiency.

The ceramic balls impregnated with $20{\sim}40nm$ sized Ag colloid were examined for heavy metals absorption and antibacterial activities in the drinking water. The preparation conditions of ceramic ball that the porosity was excellent were as follows: starting material: 85 wt% $Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2$, binder: 5 wt% PVA and 15 wt% ${\alpha}-Ca_3(PO_4)_2$, heating temperature: $1000^{\circ}C$, duration: 3 hrs. The ceramic balls obtained under these conditions showed specific surface area of $110m^2/g$, pore size of $120{\mu}m$ and porosity of 80%. Also, as the results of a performance test on a rate of adsorbing and removing heavy metals in the drinking water by using the.AAS, heavy metals such as Zn, Mn, Fe and Cu were removed to the extent that their content became 0.03mg/l or lower after 1 day and they showed an excellent bactericidal activity that all coliforms were killed after 3 hrs.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effecs of fouling mitigation for ceramic ball in cooling water system experimentally. The devices filled with ceramic balls were connected to the bypass line of the heat exchanging system. Cooling water in the heat exchanging system was artificial water. To visualize the formation of fouling on the heat transfer surface a number of images were obtained using a CCD camera with real-time microscopy. Fouling resistances and overall heat transfer coefficients were measured in order to analyze fouling mitigation effects. We found that the ceramic ball devices for artificial water reduced the formation of fouling compared to the no-mitigation devices.
