지구 온난화 현상의 주된 원인인 CO2 가스의 분해를 위해, 스트론튬 페라이트를 이용한 CO2 가스 분해 반응에 대해 연구하였다. CO2 가스 분해를 위한 반응 매체로 스피넬형 조성과 마그네토프롬바이트형 조성의 스트론튬 페라이트 미세분말을 공침법으로 제조한 후, H2 가스로 환원시켜 산소부족형 스트론튬 페라이트 분말을 제조하였다. 이 산소부족형 스트론튬 페라이트 분말은 CO2 가스를 환원, 분해시키면서 산화된다. 이러한 원리를 이용한 CO2 분해 반응에서 스피넬형 조성 스트론튬 페라이트 분말이 마그네토프롬바이트형 조성 분말 보다 빠르게 많은 양의 CO2 가스를 분해 시켰다. 페라이트 중의 스트론튬이 산화·환원 반응을 촉진시키는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.

Strontium selective chromatographic material $(Sr-Spec^{TM})$ was investigated for separation of radiostrontium from environmental soil and water sample. This chromatographic material has great capacity of binding of strontium ion in nitric acid media, and has selectivity to permit the separation of stontium from bulk amount of calcium. But the extraction of strontium was reduced by the other interfering ions such as K and Ba. So, in order to apply this material to the soil sample, prior removal treatment of K and Ba was needed. But the Sr-Spec material could provides simple and effective methods for the separation and removal of radiostrontium from liquid sample.

Chitosan, a natural nontoxic chelator, was reported to reduce whole body retention of radiostrontium in mice. As calcium has a simillar chemical properties to strontium both of which be easily bound with hydroxyapatite structure, calcium can be either a competitor or enhancer to chitosan on the removal of radiostrontium. We compared the effect of chitosan and calcium on the excretion of ingested radiostrontium ($^{85}$Sr). Chitosan or calcium($Cacl_2$) and usual food was mixed as 1:99 by weight. The mixed food to chitosan (group 1) or calcium (group 2) were given orally for 30 days before $^{85}$Sr administration. In other groups, mixed calcium and chitosan solution (group 3), 1% calcium (group 4), or 1% chitosan solution (group 5) was given for 7 days immediately after oral administration of $^{85}SrC1_2$ ($0.25{\mu}Ci$). In control group, no chitosan or calcium were given. Either chitosan or calcium was effective on the removal of $^{85}Sr$ from mouse body(Table. 1). Addition of calcium on chitosan did not improve or deteriorate the effect of chitosan on the removal of $^{85}Sr$ from mouse body. In conclusion, calcium was similarly effective on the removal of $^{85}Sr$ from mouse body.

It has been reported that chitosan has little genetic toxicity as one of natural and nontoxic chelator and reduces the internal retention of radiostrontium in the mouse. This study is to examine that when water soluble chitosan is provided to the mouse on 17 days of pregnancy before and after radiostrontium contamination, how effectively it can inhibit an acute transfer of radiostrontium to fetus through placenta contaminated. Water soluble chitosan powder is mixed with general food for 60 days and 10%(Group 1) and 1%(Group 2) are provided respectively, and it is observed that the group with radiostrontium contamination on 17 days of pregnancy can inhibit more effectively the transfer of radiostrontium to fetus through placenta than control group with general food and the groups (Group 3, Group 4) with 10% and 1% of chitosan powder respectively after radiostrontium contamination (p<0.01, Table 1). It is found that when the pregnant mouse contaminated by radiostrontium on 17 days of pregnancy is prefed by chitosan, the transfer of radiostrontium to fetus through placenta can be inhibited.

In order to separate $Sr^{2+}$ selectively from environmental sample solutions containing $Ca^{2+}$, supported liquid membranes(SLM) were prepared and their characteristics of separation were investigated. The contents of carriers, DC18C6 and DNNS, in SLM affected the permeabilities of metal ions and selectivities of $Sr^{2+}$. The selectivity of $Sr^{2+}$ reached to 93.3% in a SLM with 0.1 M DC18C6 and 25 mM DNNS. When the ratio of $Sr^{2+}$ to $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in the feed solution was in the range of 1/25 to 1/50, the selectivity of $Sr^{2+}$ was greater than 90 %. Therefore, it is considered that the SLM prepared in this study is capable of treating environmental sea-water samples for strontium measurement.

In this study, using strontium sulfate (SrSO₄) recovered from magnetite ore in Hongcheon, the Black Ash process was used to produce strontium carbonate (SrCO₃). In the carbothermic reaction step, SrSO₄ was reacted with carbon (C) at 1273 K under Ar gas atmosphere using a gas-tight quartz reactor to produce strontium sulfide (SrS). Afterward, water leaching of the residues produced from the carbothermic reaction at 353 K and carbonation of the leaching solution using sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) at 298 K were conducted to produce SrCO₃. The results of this study demonstrate the feasibility of the production of SrCO₃ via the Black Ash process using domestic magnetite ore containing strontium (Sr).

Low heat concrete using strontium hydroxide based latent heat material was manufactured in ready-mixed concrete batcher plant and its fundamental properties were tested. As a result of B/P test, its applicability to the construction site was verified. After B/P test, low heat concrete using strontium hydroxide based latent heat material was applied to the real construction site of bridge footing. Through the analysis and the actual measurement of the hydration heat of the concrete footing, the reduction effect of hydration heat and thermal crack was confirmed.

The levels of strontium-90 in milk produced in Korea were determined during the past six years. Milk samples were collected from dairies and market shops in seoul area. Strontium-90 in milk was separated from calcium using fuming nitric acid and purified radiochemically. After seculear equilibrium was completed, the radioactivity of yttrium-90 was counted in a low background beta counting system. The determination of stable calcium in milk was also made by volu-metric method using 0. 1 N potassium permanganate solution. The highest value of 34.9 pCi $^{90}$ Sr/g-Ca was determined in August, 1966 and the lowest value was 7.5 pCi $^{90}$ Sr/g-Ca in August, 1967. From the result we can say that levels of strontium-90 are decreasing year after year and are far bellow the maximum permissible level recommended by International Committe on Radiation Protection.

Purpose: Chitin and chitosan are nontoxic natural chelators that chelate radiostrontium effectively. The purpose of this study was to compare radiostrontium chelation of chitin and chitosan with that of well known chemical chelators, namely EDTA and DTPA. Materials and Methods: The chelaton rates of chitin, chitosan, EDTA and DTPA were compared using a column chromatography method (Sephadex G-25M, Sweden). Three kinds of chitins and four kinds of chitosans were used. All of them were water soluble. Results: Phosphated chitosan showed the highest chelation yield of 97% at pH 7. All of chitins, chitosans, EDTA and DTPA showed chelation yield of more than 90% independent of varing pH level. Conclusion: Chitin and chitosan have similar chelation rate as compared with EDTA and DTPA.
