These studies were carried out to investigate the effects of rice straw on the leaching of chemical constituents in paddy soil. Rice plants were cultured in paddy soil to which rice straw was applied and then chemical properties of percolated water were analysed. The results were as follows. The leaching of calcium and magnesium was affected by rice straw application in the early stages of plant growth and by rice root activity in the late stages. The application of the straw promoted the reduction of the soil followed by increasing the leaching of iron and manganese. The leaching of potassium, ammonium-nitrogen and chloride was not due to the application of rice straw and the leaching of carbon dioxide increased with the application of rice straw, at the same time chemical properties seemed to be affected by rice root activity. Generally, cation and anion leached in the percolated water were equivalent. Calcium, magnesium, Fe as cation and $HCO_3$, $SO_4{^{-2}}$ as anion were important constituents in the percolated water from paddy soil.

The durability of concrete structures deteriorates due to the corrosion of rebars and concrete deterioration by harmful ions (CO₃^2-, Cl^-, SO₄^2-) penetrating and diffusing from the outside into concrete. Therefore, the use of surface-protection finishing mortar is very important for preventing or delaying the deterioration of concrete. In this study, the possibility of the prevention of deterioration or delay of deterioration of concrete was investigated using natural latex modified with silica sol and calcium ions for cement mortar, which can be used to repair the mortar of deteriorated concrete or for finishing the mortar of concrete. As a result, fine calcium silicate hydrate was formed in the pores of the cement material due to the calcium ions and silica sol components contained in the modified latex component that reduce the pore distribution of the cement mortar, thereby reducing the penetration and diffusion of harmful ions (CO₃^2-, Cl^-, and SO₄^2-). Furthermore, the latex component was found to be present in the pores of the cement to improve the alkali resistance and carbonation resistance.

In marine environment, the durability of concrete and reinforcing steel is known to be deteriorate by the permeation of chloride ion into concrete. In this study the conductive photocatalyst was used to improve the seawater corrosion resistance of the concrete and steel. Mortar and concrete samples were prepared by mixing with various amounts of conductive active carbon and photocatalytic powder($TiO_2$). The compressive strength of concrete was decreased with the increase of the amount of conductive carbon powders. The samples containing conductive carbon and photocatalytic powders showed the superior seawater corrosion resistance compared with the ordinary sample, which was verified by XRF analysis showing the concentration of chloride ion($Cl^-$) of mortars and concretes. The inhibitive effect of photocatalyst against chloride attack was discussed with the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion into mortar and concrete.

Dongchimi as a Korean traditional fermented food was studied for the possibility of developing into as an ion beverage. Reverse osmosis process was applied to the concentration of dongchimi juice in this study. Dongchimi was prepared at different concentrations of salt and fermentation temperatures. Mineral components of concentrated dongchimi juice were analyzed and compared with those of ion beverage products. The changes of sugar contents and mineral contents were studied depending on different fermentation temperatures, periods and salt concentration. The amounts of mineral components such as $K^{+},\;Mg^{2+}\;and\;Ca^{2+}$ were increased during fermentation but slightly decreased in the last period. It was found that the concentrated dongchimi juice could be used as an improved ion beverage in future, since the electrolytic dissociation components were much more in the concentrated dongchimi juice than those in the existing ion beverages.

The present study concerns the inhibition of Calcium Nitrite Inhibitor(Ca(NO₂)₂) in mortar contaminated by chloride ions. Thus, the corrosion resistance and chloride transport were measured for the mortar containing calcium nitrite inhibitor. As a result, an increase in the dosage of calcium nitrite inhibitor resulted in an increase in the chloride threshold concentration for reinforcement corrosion, while the rate of chloride transport was accelerated. However, the calcium nitrite inhibitor could not guarantee the time to corrosion, due to the increased mobility of chlorides. To ensure the passivity of steel, the dosage of calcium nitrite inhibitor must exceed a certain dosage, ranging from 2.0~3.0 % by cement weight.

Many studies regarding Casein phosphopeptides-amorphous calcium phosphate(CPP-ACP) have demonstrated the remineralization ability on the demineralized enamel surface. A question is still remained that how deep can the calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) ions supplied by the CPP-ACP paste penetrate into the enamel subsurface. The aims of this study were to measure the penetrating depth of Ca and P ions in the demineralized human enamel in vitro, and were to determine the amount and depth of Ca and P ions according to the duration. The amount and depth of Ca and P ions were measured by microscopic observation with Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM; LEO SUPRA 55, Carl Zeiss, Germany) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer (EDS; GENESIS 2000, EDAX, USA: Linescan of Calcium and Phosphorus). Freshly extracted four human 1st premolars were obtained from the Dept. of Pediatric Dent., Kyung Hee Univ. Buccal surfaces of the 1st premolars were covered with nail varnish to form a window on the middle third of buccal surface. All of the teeth with enamel windows were immersed in a solution of 0.1 M lactic acid, Carbopol C907 (carboxypolymethylene BF Goodrich, Cleveland, OH, USA) at pH 4.8, and then incubated for 7 days. Each tooth crown was sawn in half through the midline of buccal window along the long axis of premolar. The four blocks of premolars were immersed in a 10-times diluted solution of CPP-ACP paste (Tooth Mousse, GC Corp., Tokyo, Japan) for 1, 2, 3 and 5 weeks while the rests were immersed in a placebo solution (distilled water) for the same duration. Each specimen was embedded in epoxy resin, and was sectioned perpendicular to the window, using a water-cooled diamond blade saw. The spectrum density indices of Ca and P were measured in the sound, de- and remineralized enamels by FE-SEM and EDS. The Student's t test was performed to compare the Spectrum Density Indices (SDI) of sound, re-and demineralized enamels, and to compare the differences among the durations. Followings are the conclusion : 1. The penetration depth of the remineralizing ions (Ca & P) of CPP-ACP paste is related to the depth of demineralized enamel (approximately $1050{\sim}1350{\mu}m$). It is revealed that the penetration depth of both ions reaches full thickness of decalcification and even slightly into the sound enamel. 2. The Ca & P levels of remineralized enamels in 1, 2 weeks were significantly higher than those of the sound enamels (p<0.05). 3. No statistically significant difference of Ca & P levels was found in relation with the increasing duration of remineralization (p>0.05).

To predict service life of concrete structures exposed to chloride attack, surface chloride concentration, diffusion coefficient of chloride ion, and chloride corrosion threshold value in concrete, are used as important factors. Of these, as the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion for concrete is strongly influenced by concrete quality and environmental conditions of structures and may significantly change the service life of structures, it is considered as the most important factor for service life prediction. The qualitative factors affecting the penetration and diffusion of chloride ion into concrete are water-cement (W/C) ratio, age, curing conditions, chloride ion concentration of given environment, wet and dry conditions, etc. In this paper the influence of W/C ratio and curing conditions on the diffusion characteristics of chloride ion in concrete was investigated through the chloride ion diffusion test. In the test, the voltages passing through the diffusion cell were measured by accelerated test method using potential difference, and then with the consideration of IR drop ratio the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion for concrete with different W/C ratios were estimated by Andrade's model. Furthermore, under different curing conditions formulas for the estimation of the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion have been proposed by the regression analysis considering the effect of W/C ratio and age.

토양중 침투성 살충제 carbofuran과 제초제 petilachlor의 용탈행적을 구명하기 위하여 물리화학적 성질이 상이한 2종의 논토양으로 충전된 토양 column (내경 5cm ${\times}$ 길이 30cm)에 $^{14}C$-표지 화합물을 각각 처리한 후 벼 (Oryza sativa L.)를 생육시키면서 벼를 심지 않은 경우를 대조구로 하여 8주 동안 주당 95.2 ml씩 용탈시켰다. Carbofuran의 경우 토양 column에서 용탈된 $^{14}C$ 방사능의 양은 벼를 재배하지 않은 토양 A와 B에서 각각 총처리 방사능의 74.8와 92.3%였으며, 벼를 재배한 토양에서는 각각 45.1%와 69.7%였다. 반면에 petilachlor의 경우 벼를 재배한 토양 column에서는 각각 총처리 방사능의 2.4%와 5.0%가 용탈되었으며, 벼를 재배한 경우는 각각 3.1%와 8.2%가 용탈되었다. 토양에 처리한 [$^{14}C$]화합물 모두 벼의 생육유무에 관계없이 양이온치환용량, 유기물 및 점토의 함량이 적은 토양 B에서 $^{14}C$ 방사능의 용탈이 증가되었다. 토양 column중 carbofuran의 이동성은 매우 높은 반면에 petilachlor는 매우 낮았으며, 이는 그들의 토양흡착과 수용성에 기인된 것으로 판단된다.

The electrical resistivity of concrete can be related to two processes involved in corrosion of reinforcement: initiation (chloride penetration) and propagation (corrosion rate). The resisistivity of concrete structure exposed to chloride indicates the risk of early corrosion damage, because a low resistivity is related to rapid chloride penetration and to high corrosion rate. Concrete resistivity is a geometry-independent material property that describes the electrical resistance, which is the ratio between applied voltage and resulting current in a unit cell. In previous study, it was realized that the resistivity of concrete depended on the moisture content in the concrete, microstructural properties, and environmental attack such as carbonation. The current is carried by ions dissolved in the pore liquid. While some data exist on the relationship between moisture content on electrical resistivity of concrete, very little research has been conducted to evaluate the effect of chloride on the conduction of electricity through concrete. The purpose of this study is to examine and quantify the effect of chloride content on surface electrical resistivity measurement of concrete. It was obvious that chloride content had influenced the resistivity of concrete and the relationship showed a linear function. That is, concrete with chloride ions had a comparatively lower resistivity. Decreasing rate of resistivity of concrete was clear at early time, however, after 50 days resistivity was constant irrespective of chloride concentration. Conclusively, this paper suggested the quantitive solution to depict the electrical resistivity of concrete with chloride content.
