The purpose of this study was to investigate alkali-silica reaction of accelerating agents in shotcrete. The test was performed with accelerating agents (aluminate, alkali-free, cement based mineral admixture) in the Type I cement. As a test result, using the nonreactive aggregates, detrimental expansion due to alkali-silica reaction doesn't occurred regardless of equivalent alkali contents of accelerating agent.

본 연구에서는 고유동, 저발열 및 고강도 특성을 발현하는 belite-rich cement(BRC)에 있어서 카르복실산계 유기혼화제를 사용했을 때 가용성 알칼리의 함량 변화에 따른 흡착거동과 유동특성에 미치는 영향성에 대해 검토하였다. BRC에서 알칼리 0.1~0.2 wt% 및 알칼리 설페이트 0.3~0.5 wt% 첨가시 슬럼프가 증가하거나 손실이 거의 없었으며, 그 이상의 함량을 첨가하였을 때 다시 유동서 저하를 가져왔다. 그러나, 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트(OPC)의 슬럼프 유지능력은 알칼리 및 알칼리 설페이트를 첨가할수록 감소되었다.

This paper studies the effect of the compressive strength for combined alkali-activated slag mortars. The effect of activators such as alkali type and dosage factor on the strength was investigated. The alkalis combinations made using five caustic alkalis (sodium hydroxide (NaOH, A series), calcium hydroxide ($Ca(OH)_2$, B series), magnesium hydroxide ($Mg(OH)_2$, C series), aluminum hydroxide ($Al(OH)_3$, D series), and potassium hydroxide (KOH, E series)) with sodium carbonate ($Na_2CO_3$) were evaluated. The mixtures were combined in different dosage at 1M, 2M, and 3M. The study results showed that the compressive strength of combined alkali-activated slag mortars tended to increase with increasing sodium carbonate. The strength of combined alkali-activated slag mortars was better than that of control cases (without sodium carbonate). The result from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis confirmed that there were reaction products of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) and alumina-silicate gels from combined alkali-activated slag specimens.

In this study, individual(alkaline, ultrasonic) and combined(alkaline+ultrasonic) pretreatment effect on sewage sludge solubilization was investigated. COD solubilization rates increased with the dose of NaOH added: solubilization reached 27.6%. Additional alkaline agents did not increase solubilization further. Ultrasonic pretreatment achieved 33~39% solubilization when 140 W/L amplitude. In(alkaline(pre-treatment)+ultrasonic (after-treatment)) treatment, solubilization increased as the combined intensity in creased($70.4{\pm}9.4%$). SCOD rising rate(0.076) was achieved.

Alkali rhyolites in the Cheonmunbong of the Mt. Baekdu stratovolcano show porphyritic texture in the glassy or aphanic groundmass. Major phenocryst is alkali-feldspar, pyroxene, and amphibole, and small amount of microphenocryst is olivine, quartz, opaque mineral (ilmenite). The content of $Fe^{2+}/(Fe^{2+}+Mg^{2+})$ and alkali elements in the mafic minerals is high. Alkali feldspar is classified as sanidine or anorthclase, olivine as fayalite, and pyroxene as ferro-hedenbergite of ferro-augite area. Amphibole belongs to alkali amphibole group, but FeO and $Fe_2O_3$ were not separated, so it is required future studies. Nb(-) anomaly suggesting that slab-derived materials might have played a primary role in the genesis of the rhyolite magma, is not observed. It is noted that they originated in the within plate environment which is not related to subduction zone of the convergent plate boundary. The Mt. Baekdu alkaline rocks are classified into the comendite series. The alkali rhyolites of the summit at Mt. Baekdu shows the disequilibrium mineral assemblages, suggesting that it evolved from thrachytic magma with experience of magma mixing as well as fractional crystallization.

A Weibull statistical analysis of the mechanical properties of SiC ceramics was carried out by immersion in acidic and alkaline solutions. The heat treatment was carried out at 1373 K. The corrosion of SiC was carried out in acidic and alkaline solutions under KSL1607. The bending strength of corroded crack-healed specimens decreased 47% and 70% compared to those of uncorroded specimens in acidic and alkaline solutions, respectively. The corrosion of SiC ceramics is faster in alkaline solution than in acid solution. The scale and shape parameters were evaluated for the as-received and corroded materials, respectively. The shape parameter of the as-received material corroded in acidic and alkaline solutions was significantly more apparent in the acidic solution. Further, the heat-treated material was large in acidic solution but small in alkaline solution. The shape parameters of the as-received and heat-treated materials were smaller in both acidic and alkaline solutions.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of the supplemental alkali feldspar-ilite(feldspar) on growth performance and meat quality in broiler ducks for 43 days. One hundred eighty broiler ducks were divided into 5 groups of 12ducks. Dietary levels of feldspar 0, 0+antibiotics, 0.5, 1.0 and $1.5\%$ were added to experimental diets of each of the groups. Daily weight gain was slightly increased in 1.0 and $1.5\%$ feldspar treatments. Feed intake was slightly increased at all feldspar treatments. Glucose concentration of serum profile was decreased whereas BUN concentration was significantly increased (p<0.05) at $0.5\%$ feldspar. Cholesterol concentration was decreased at all feldspar treatments, this difference was especially observed in supplemental levels of $0.5\%$ feldspar(p<0.05). Carcass weight was increased at all feldspar treatments. Moisture and crude fat contents of proximate chemical composition in duck meat were decreased at all feldspar treatment, this difference especially was observed in supplemental levels of $1.5\%$ feldspar(p<0.05) on crude fat content. Lightness and yellowness was increased at all feldspar treatment. Cholesterol contents and TBA in meat were decreased, but this parameters were not difference by feldspar treatment. The composition of saturated fatty acids(SFA) was decreased, whereas unsaturated fatty acids(USFA) was slightly increased by feldspar treatment. The Pb content of heavy metal concentrations was increased with compared control, but not difference. The appearance of sensory evaluation was improved by supplemental feldspar, especially in supplemental feldspar, 1.0 and $1.5\%$(p<0.05). The results of this study indicate that the supplemental alkali feldspar may improve the production and meat quality of broiler ducks.

The novel macrocylic ligand {(4, 5):(13, 14)-dibenzo-6, 9, 12-trioxa-3, 15, 21, -triazabicyclo [15. 3. 1]heneicosa-(1, 17, 19)(18, 20, 21) triene: HDBPDA} was synthesized, and protonable constants of the ligand and the complex stability constants with alkali metals alkaline earth metals were determined. We evaluated the resolution factor(${\Delta}$) from equation that inducing from stability constants(pK). Also, this ligand was grafted on chloromethylated styrene-divinyl benzene(Merrifield resin) for HDBPDA, ion exchanger. Alkali and alkaline earth metal ions were separated using water by the column chromatography with this ion exchanger. Selectivity(${\alpha}$) and resolution(Rs) of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions were measured from the elution curves chromatogram. The selectivity and resolution values of the various ions calculated from the elution curves were compared with those abtained from pK values. The results were in a good agreement between tow methods. Ion exchange capacity of the resin were determined using the alkali and alkaline earth metal ions and pH dependence of capacity was also discussed.

In this study, an attempt was made to produce oat protein concentrates from defatted oat groat by alkali extraction. Independent variables formulated by D-optimal design were NaOH concentration (X1, 0.005~0.06 N) for extraction and precipitation pH (X2, pH 4.0~6.0), and the dependent variable was extraction yield (Y1, %). Experimental results were analyzed by response surface methodology to determine optimized extraction conditions. Extraction yield increased both with an increase in NaOH concentration of the extraction solution and when approaching a precipitation pH of 4.9, and NaOH concentrations were a major influencing parameter. Solubility of oat protein concentrates showed a minimum value (i.e., 0.1%) at pH 5 and increased substantially at pH values in the range of ${\leq}$ pH 3 or ${\geq}$ pH 7, reaching a maximum value at pH 11 (i.e., 76%). Regression equation coincided well with the results of the experiment. Optimized extraction conditions to maximize extraction yield were 0.06 N NaOH (X1) for extraction and pH 4.7 (X2) for precipitation.

In this study, major parameter of partial nitritation was investigated for the stable operation. In order to establish partial nitritation system, prevailing parameters such as temperature, BA (bicarbonate alkalinity) and pH were evaluated. As a result, it is inferred that appropriate bicarbonate alkalinity ratio (mg $NaHCO_3{\cdot}L^{-1}/mg$ Inf. $NH_4{^+}-N{\cdot}L^{-1}$) drives stable 50% partial nitritation at $32^{\circ}C$ and ambient temperature, respectively. Alkalinity ratio was proposed as new strategy for 50% partial nitritation without pH control in both temperature regimes. Because of the results, it was added amound of BA required only for 50% nitritation to inhibit nitratation. The effluent $NO_2{^-}-N/NH_4{^+}-N$ ratio reached almost 100% when initial bicarbonate alkalinity ratios (mg $NaHCO_3{\cdot}L^{-1}/mg$ Inf. $NH_4{^+}-N{\cdot}L^{-1}$) were 6.8 (R1) and 6.7 (R2), respectively. Polymerase chain reaction and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) results demonstrated that AOB was the dominant nitrifying bacteria and NOB was negligible after adopting process control.
