The analytical method of silicon dioxide ($SiO_2$) in health functional food products was developed employing inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) method assisted by acid (hydrofluoric acid and boric acid) digestion in open system without alkali fusion. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of this method were found to be 0.07 and 0.20 mg/L, respectively. Linearity ($r^2$) and linear range were 0.99 and 0.20~20.0 mg/L, respectively. The accuracy and precision of $SiO_2$ (0.4, 1.0, and 2.0%, w/w) in spiked glucosamine exhibited to be the range of 90.22~94.14% and 0.72~1.67%, respectively. The contents of $SiO_2$ in 11 health functional food products were detected in range of 0.02~1.80% (w/w). Every sample showed below content of the permitted use level (2%, w/w) of $SiO_2$. Therefore ICP-OES method with acid can analyze the content of $SiO_2$ in health functional food products easily and rapidly. Consequently, the application of specification analysis of $SiO_2$ in health functional food products could be a significant work.

A computer routine for personal computer(PC/AT class) is developed to analysize the mode characteristics of silica based optical waveguides whose cross sections are of semi circular and other typical shapes. The basic algorithm used in the routine is to convert the wave equation into a matrix equation by expanding the wave function in terms of simple harmonic functions. The matrix elements are a set of overlap integrals of sinusoidal funtions with appropriate weight given by the distribution of refractive index over the waveguide cross section. The eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the matrix is then computed via diagonalization. We explain some practical problems that arises when implementing the algorithm into the routine. By using this routine we analyze the mode characteristics of silica based optical waveguides of semi circular and some other typical cross sections.

According to the diversification of types of concrete structures, the quality of the concrete which is demanded also, is becoming high performance essentially. The high performance of the concrete leads using of admixtures, generally, in order to produce high strength, concrete has been used to silica fume. Silica fume is excellent mechanical properties, but unlikely to be economic. So, recently as a replacement for silica fume, metakaolin is a lot of research underway. In this study, it is used the metakaolin substitute for silica fume. For in order to prevent loss of liquidity when occurs using the admixtures, we used the silica dioxide. Therefore, concrete with the admixtures and silicon dioxide were examined the mechanical properties.

Using THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS), the power absorption and the real conductivity of silica sand are measured terahertz frequency range. It is impossible to measure the characterization of the silica sand by simple electrical measurements using mechanical contacts, e.g., Hail effect or four-point probe measurements. However, the THz-TDS technique can measure not only electrical but also optical characterization of the sample. Also this technique can measure frequency dependent results. Especially, the real conductivity was increased according to THz frequency this is unusual material compare with metal and semiconductor materials; the measured real conductivity are not followed by the simple Drude theory.

For the application of nano-sized material in various fields, the evaluation of nano-sized material toxicity is important. In the present study, various concentrations of 200 nm-sized silicon dioxide nanoparticle suspension were intraperitonially injected into mice to identify the toxicity of silicon dioxide nanoparticle in vivo. In the hematological analysis of group II treated with silicon dioxide nanoparticle 100 mg/kg body weight, lymphocytes and monocytes were significantly different compared to the control group. In group III treated with silicon dioxide nanoparticle 200 mg/kg body weight, lymphocytes, monocytes and hemoglobin were significantly different compared to the control group. In blood biochemical analysis of group III, the concentration of AST, ALT, BUN, and creatinine were significantly different compared to the control group. Histopathologic examination of the kidney indicated a mild injury only in mice received 200 mg/kg silicon dioxide nanoparticle. According to the results of the present study, the significant differences in the hematological and blood biochemical analyses and abnormal histopathological findings in the mouse kidney may have been related to exposure to silicon dioxide nanoparticle.

Uranium dioxide was dissolved with nitric acid and a trace amount of HF. The analytical conditions of a spectrophotometer were investigated to determine a trace amount of silicon in the uranium matrices without a separation process. The effects of a trace amount of HF on the determination of silicon were examined. Boric acid was used to eliminate HF the interference in the colorimetric process. The recovery of silicon in the presence of a trace amount of HF in uranium solutions with or without saturated boric acid was $103.3{\pm}0.8$ and $76.6{\pm}6.8%$, respectively. The amount of saturated boric acid did not affect the recovery of the silicon. Therefore it was possible for this procedure to measure a trace amount of silicon in a uranium matrix without a separation by a UV-VIS spectrophotometry.

The ways of producing metal silicon include a carbon reduction method, a plasma reduction method, and a thermite reaction method. The carbon reduction process produces metal silicon by metallurgical refining. The carbon reduction method is produced by adding a raw material mixed with quartz and coke to an electric arc furnace which is for carbon reduction. The cost of high energy costs and environmental protection facilities is an issue when producing metal silicon using electric arc furnaces. For this reason, there is no metal silicon production facility in Korea yet. Therefore, the optimal manufacturing conditions by the carbon reduction method are being studied through the experimental facilities by the companies and research institutes. The present study investigated the change of metal silicon purity according to the purity of silicon when extracting metal silicon using the thermit reaction, which has a relatively lower manufacturing cost than the carbon reduction method.

Ilmenite is one of the principal ores for the production of titanium dioxide. To produce titanium dioxide with purity higher than 99.9% from ilmenite, Ti(IV) should be separated from the dissolved impurities such as Fe(III), Si(IV), and Mn(II) present in ilmenite. In this work, a hydrometallurgical process was investigated to recover pure titanium dioxide from ilmenite by HCl leaching followed by separation and hydrolysis of Ti(IV). An optimum leaching condition was obtained by investigating the effect of HCl concentration, pulp density, and leaching time on the leaching percentage of Ti(IV), Fe(III), Si(IV), and Mn(II). Ammonium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide solutions were employed as neutralizing agents to hydrolyze Ti(IV) from the stripping solution of Ti(IV). Titanium dioxide of the anatase phase was obtained by calcination of the hydrolyzed precipitates with $NH_4OH$ solution. A hydrometallurgical process can be developed to produce pure $TiO_2$ powders from ilmenite.

Due to the high UV light scattering effect of Zinc oxide (ZnO), it is frequently used in sunscreen skincare products. Recently ZnO coated with silica has been used in cosmetics to improve UV protection, texture, decreased photocatalytic activity, dispersibility and stability of the skin care product. In this study, we developed a ZnO composite powder coated with silica for the future application to skincare products to block UV rays that could cause photoaging. To improve consumer's satisfaction rating, we used ZnO microparticles which are widely used in the cosmetics industry. The silica was coated using hydrothermal method with sodium silicate and acid hydrolysis. UV protection of the composite powder was analyzed by UV-Vis and in-vitro test and the advantages for practical use of this powder as a skincare product were determined.
