It is very important to remove fluoride ion before treating semiconductor wastewater containing high concentration of ammonia, phosphates, and fluoride ions by struvite formation. Calcium ion was generally added for the removal of fluoride ion. However, calcium ions remained after removal of fluoride ion can deteriorate the performance of struvite crystalization. It should be removed completely before struvite formation. In this study, the effect of fluoride and calcium ion concentration on the struvite crystalization was investigated. Removal efficiencies of ortho-phosphate with struvite formation were more abruptly decreased than those of ammonium nitrogen, as increase of fluoride ion concentration in synthetic wastewater. The structures of struvite formed in synthetic wastewater containing calcium ion of up to 500 mg/L were identical. Purity of struvite was deteriorated as increase of calcium ion over 500 mg/L. Removal efficiencies of ammonium nitrogen were more decreased than those of phosphate ions as increase of cacium ion in synthetic wastewater.

The removal of calcium ions using zeolite to solve problems of the CaCO₃ manufacturing process using cement kiln dust was investigated. To do so, a modified zeolite was employed and experiments were conducted to select the optimal zeolite type considered the binding cation and structure, evaluate the removal performance of calcium ions, the influence of the type and concentration of the modifying solution, and the removal selectivity when K coexists. Among five zeolites, 13X zeolite was found to have the best calcium ion removal performance, and it was confirmed that the removal performance was enhanced when KCl was used as a modifying solution instead of NaCl. This study is expected to be the basis for the solution of carbonation process and high concentration of KCl recovery technology.

The characteristics of fluorine removal from wastewater have been investigated by precipitation method using calcium as a precipitant for the purpose of the reuse of treated wastewater. In the conditions of 10 mM of the initial concentration of fluorine and pH 4, the precipitation of fluorine was rapidly progressed within a few minutes after the precipitant was added and the precipitation of fluorine was observed to follow a second order reaction. Also, as the addition of precipitant was increased, the reaction rate constant of fluorine precipitation was found to rise. Postulating that the maximum fluorine removal was attained at pH 4, about 70% of fluorine was precipitated compared with the maximum removal when 10 times of equivalent amount of calcium was employed at pH 2 and the fluorine removal was about 96% compared with its maximum value at pH 3 under the same addition of precipitant. The fluorine precipitation reaction was found to be endothermic and the coexistence of $SiF_6{^{2-}}$ with fluorine resulted in its less removal. Finally, the isoelectric point of the precipitate was examined to be ca. pH 5.

The effects of magnesium and calcium ions on phosphorus removal by aluminium coagulation were investigated with various jar tests using settled raw sewage. Maximum TP (total phosphate) removal occurred at pH around 5~6 with aluminium coagulation, and it decreased above pH 6. TP and $H_nPO_4^{n-3}$ removal efficiencies, however, were kept above 95% at pH above 6 by adding the divalent metallic ions like magnesium or calcium ions on aluminium coagulation process. At molar ratio of Al/P ($Al^{3+}/H_nPO_4^{n-3}$) above 3, TP removal efficiency was as high as 80%, and residual TP less than 0.2 mg/L occurred at Al/P ratio above 6. TP removal efficiency was improved by adding magnesium or calcium ions and the optimum $Al^{3+}/Mg^{2+}$ and $Al^{3+}/Ca^{2+}$ ratios were about 2. The required dose of aluminium coagulant was reduced for equivalent amount of TP removal by adding magnesium or calcium ions, as a result sludge generation was also reduced.

Phosphate is an essential material for the growth of organisms. However. since relatively small amount is required. a large amount of phosphate is abandoned in wastes and wastewater. which contaminate the ecological environment including aquatic system. Purpose of this study is to treat especially high concentrated phosphate wastewater by use of calcium precipitation method. The pH range considered was from 6 to 12 and the maximum removal of phosphate was attained at pH 12. The con-centration of phosphate was observed to decrease rapidly until a half amount of calcium ion to its equivalent for the formation of calcium phosphate precipitate was added. which resulted in the decrease of the remaining concentration of phosphate down to 0.0027 mM. The effect of fluoride ion was examined and the concentration ratio between the phosphate and fluoride ion did not have any significant influence on the removal efficiency of phosphate. The effect of pH was also investigated. With the increasing of the pH in solution, the removal rate of phosphate was increased. Also it was investigated that the effect of fluoride on the phosphate removal was not significant.

In our country, limiting nutrient is known as phosphorus in the most lakes. Therefore, the removal of phosphorus is a very important process in sewage treatment. However, many of the sewage treatment plants employ the conventional activated sludge process, known to remove $10{\sim}30%$ of phosphorus. Thus, additional phosphorous removal process will be needed. Oyster shells have been known to remove phosphorus in water. The removal efficiency of phosphorus was highest at smallest size of oyster shells and at the highest pH for batch test. The phosphorous removal rate with various calcium concentrations was increased by increasing calcium concentration. At the 20 mg/l of calcium, more than 90% of phosphorous was removed in two hours. The removal efficiency of phosphorous was increased greatly at 300% of recirculation rate. With 300% of recirculation rate, the removal efficiency reached 80% at pH 11. The negative effects of bicarbonate on crystallization were observed in oyster shells. The effects of bicarbonate on rate constant were also investigated by applying these results to experimental equation. The rate constant was decreased at the inverse logarithm bicarbonate concentration.

티타늄에 있어서 주요 침입형 원소인 산소는 결함을 일으키는 원인으로 산소함량을 줄이는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근 가장 많이 이용되는 탈산 방법은 칼슘 및 칼슘염화물의 높은 산소 친화력을 이용하는 것이다. 칼슘염화물 플럭스를 사용하여 칼슘을 용해하고, 티타늄과 반응한 탈산생성물인 칼슘산화물을 플럭스 내에 용해시키는 방법이다. 이러한 방법으로 티타늄 와이어 및 시트 내 산소를 저감한 연구가 보고되었다. 티타늄 탈산의 제일 큰 구동력은 티타늄 내 산소원자의 확산이다. 티타늄의 탈산온도가 1,155K 이상으로 증가하면 hcp에서 bcc 구조로 변태되는데 이러한 구조에서 산소의 확산은 더 활발해진다. 실제로 티타늄의 변태온도 이전에서는 확산속도가 낮아서 큰 변화가 없지만, 1,273K 고온의 bcc 구조에서는 확산속도가 빨라서 그 이전에 비해 100배 이상 빠르게 원자 이동이 일어나는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 이러한 탈산 방법은 티타늄 원재료가 벌크 형태에서 주로 연구되었으며 티타늄 분말에 대한 탈산 연구는 보고된 바가 많지 않다. 이는 높은 탈산온도에서 칼슘의 용해로 인한 분말의 건전한 회수가 어렵기 때문이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구진은 칼슘 증기를 이용한 비접촉식 탈산 용기를 제작하여 티타늄 분말을 변태온도 이상에서 탈산하여 1,000ppm 이하 저산소 티타늄 분말을 회수하였다. 칼슘을 이용한 티타늄 내 산소의 제거 메커니즘을 깁스자유에너지와 각각의 분압에 의해 설명하고 있다. 가장 일반적인 설명은 티타늄 내 산소가 탈산온도에 따라 확산하게 되며 이러한 산소는 티타늄의 표면에서 티타늄 산화층을 형성한다. 이때 탈산제인 칼슘의 높은 산소 친화력으로 티타늄 산화층은 분해되어 칼슘산화물을 형성한다. 이러한 과정으로 티타늄 내 산소가 제거되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 많은 탈산 연구에도 불구하고 대부분의 연구 보고에서는 탈산 전후의 산소 농도 변화만 측정하였으며, 실제적으로 티타늄 탈산 전후의 표면산화층의 변화, 티타늄 내부의 산소농도 변화 및 격자 변형에 대한 연구는 보고된 바 없다. 따라서 본 연구는 1,000 ppm 이하 저산소 티타늄 분말 제조에 있어서 탈산 전후 표면 산화층 및 내부 산소 농도 등을 분석하여 탈산 거동에 대해 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서 비접촉식 탈산용기를 이용하여 칼슘 증기에 의한 탈산에 의하여 1,000 ppm 이하 저산소 티타늄 분말 제조하였고, 탈산된 분말을 티타늄 원재료와 비교하여 표면 산화층, 격자 변형, 내부 산소 농도 등을 분석하여 탈산에 따른 산소 거동을 살펴보았다. 탈산된 티타늄 분말의 표면 산화층은 원재료 대비 73% 제거되어 약 3nm로 줄었음을 확인하였고, 또한 표면 산화층 감소뿐만 아니라 티타늄 분말 내부에서도 원재료보다 산소 농도가 감소하였음을 확인하였다.

Residual calcium concentration is high, in general, at the effluent of the fluoride removal process in the electronics industry manufacturing semiconductor and LCD. To increase the stability of the membrane process incorporated for reuse of wastewater, the residual calcium is required to be pre-removed. Hyperkinetic Vortex Crystallization(HVC) process was installed in the electronics industry manufecturing semi conductor as a pilot scale for accelerating calcification of calcium ion. Compared to the conventional soda ash method, the 31% higher calcium removal efficiency was achieved when HVC was applied at the same sodium carbonate dosage. In order to maintain the economic calcium removal target of 70% preset by manufacturer, the dosing concentration of the soda ash was 530 mg/L based on influent flowrate. The seed concentration in the reactor was one of the critical factors and should be maintained in the range of $800\sim1,200mg$ SS/L to maximize the calcium removal efficiency. The calcite production rate was 0.30 g SS/g $Na_2CO_3$ in the average. The economic HVC passing time of the mixture was in the range of $2\sim5$ times. Relatively, stable calcium concentration was maintained in the range of $30\sim72$ mg/L(average 49 mg/L) although the calcium concentration in the feed was severely fluctuated with $74\sim359$ mg/L(average 173 mg/L). The HVC process was characterized as environment-friendly technology reducing chemical dosage and chemical sludge production and minimizing maintenance cost.

In many instances phosphorus is a limiting factor for eutrophication in streams, and lakes. Because wastewater treatment plant itself may be the main phosphorus source in a natural water body, removal of phosphorus in final effluent of wastewater treatment processes is required. Amongst various technologies for phosphorus removal in wastewater, adsorption technology was investigated using activated Ca-loess complex. Ca was added in loess to enhance adsorption capacity and intensity of phosphorus. Ca added loess was activated at a high temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ which turned out to be the optimum temperature. Activated Ca-loess complex below $400^{\circ}C$ had not enough strength to be applied as an activated Ca-loess pallet column in wastewater treatment process. Ca-loess complex which activated above $400^{\circ}C$ lost its adsorption capacity as the loess surface was glassified when the activation temperature reached above $400^{\circ}C$20. Even if adsorption capacity of activated Ca-loess was not very high due to the lack of abundant pores on its surface, adsorption intensity was still high because it was activated with added Ca in loess. Activated loess was made by pallets. The activated loess pallets were filled in a column, and were applied in wastewater treatment process. Using an activated Ca-loess pallet column, total phosphorus (T-P) was reduced from about 0.5 mg/l to lower than 0.1 mg/l in wastewater treatment, and ionic phosphorus (phosphate) was completely removed for the four months of pilot plant operation.
