In this study, we tried to precipitate calcium carbonate with carbonate ions decomposed from urea by plant extract and calcium ions dissolved in water. The clay particles carry a net negative charge on their surfaces. Such clay mineral was additionally mixed as a medium to improve soil strength and durability with environmentally-friendly way. The $1^{st}$ solution (plant extracts and urea) and the $2^{nd}$ solution (calcium chloride and clay) were mixed together with clean Nakdong River sand. Then, this mixed soil was compacted into a small cylindrical specimen and then air cured for 7 days in laboratory. The molar concentration of urea and calcium chloride was tested for three different conditions, 1, 5, and 7 mol. Three different clay contents (0, 1, and 3% per total weight) were mixed with sand. For each specimen, a series of unconfined compression test, a durability test, SEM, EDX and XRD analyses were carried out to evaluate its cementation and structure. As the molar concentration of the solution and clay content increased, the unconfined compressive strength and durability increased. The results of SEM, EDX and XRD analyses showed that calcite was precipitated around clay mineral. The thermogravimetry analysis indicated that calcium carbonate precipitated about 1~2% per total weight of the sample.

The controlled synthesis of inorganic materials with a specific size and morphology is an important factor in the development of new materials in many fields, such as nanoparticles, medicine, electronics, semiconductors, pharmaceutical sand cosmetics. Solution crystallization is one of the most widely used separation processes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Calcium carbonate has attracted a great deal of attention in industry because of its numerous applications. The mean crystal size, crystal size distribution and morphology are important factors in the continuous crystallization process. In this study, the continuous crystallization of calcium carbonate by the calcium chloride process was investigated. The mean crystal size and crystal size distribution data were obtained by a particle size analyzer. The morphological imaging of the crystalswasper formed by SEM. Under steady state operation, the mean crystal size change was small, but increasing the input concentration and mixing rate increased the crystal size. In this operation, some aragonite was found, but the main crystal phase was calcite.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of blast-furnace slag on chemical attack and carbonation of latex-modified concrete (LMC) and ordinary portland cement concrete as slag contents. Main experimental variables were performed latex contents (0%, 15%) and slag contents (0%, 30%, 50%). The compressive strengths, chemical attacks resistance and carbonation depth were measured to analyze the characteristic of the developed LMC and BS-LMC(latex-modified concrete added blast-furnace slag) on hardened concrete. The test results showed that compressive strength of BS-LMC with blast-furnace slag content 30% was quite similar to it of OPC without slag content. The structural quality deterioration was concerned when blast slag content was up to 50%. However, carbonation restraint of BS-LMC with blast-furnace slag 30% was bigger then that of opc. Also, the effects of added latex on OPC and BS-LMC were increased on the carbonation restraint and chemical attacks resistance.

Since cerium carbonate becomes porous cerium oxide by releasing carbon dioxide and vapour steam during calcination of cerium carbonate, nano size cerium oxide can be obtained by milling calcined cerium carbonate. Therefore cerium carbonate [$Ce_2(CO_3)3{\cdot}XH_2O$] is used generally for the preparation of nano size cerium oxide. In order to obtain nano size cerium oxide from cerium carbonate prepared by reactive crystallization of cerium chloride solution and ammonium bicarnonate solution, the effects of experimental variables in the milling and calcination of cerium carbonate, such as calcination temperature, milling time, rpm of planetary mill, amount of dispersant and ball size for milling on the size of cerium oxide was investigated in this study. Cerium oxide prepared with the conditions of calcination temperature of $700^{\circ}C$, milling time of 5 hour was 160nm mean particle size.

To elucidate the effects of calcium carbonate applied under upland and flooded conditions on the changes of soil pH, an incubation study of a soil was carried out. The experiment was conducted under the conditions with and without ground rice straw application. The results of the experiment are summarized as follows: 1. The incubation under the upland moisture condition after the application of calcium carbonate raised soil pH as high as calcium hydroxide did, whereas incubation with calos treatment under the flooded condition showed a low pH. 2. Reduction of a soil brought about by the application of ground rice straw has a significant effect on the rise of soil pH. The high pH of a soil thus brought about or raised by the use of lime is gradually reduced as the accumulation of bicarbonate ions and carbon dioxide increases in the soil solution. It may, however, be possible to keep the high pH of a flooded soil by practicing intermittent drainage or cultivation which reduces the content of bicarbonate and $CO_2$ pressure in soil solution. 3. Carbonate and bicarbonate salts which may be produced in flooded and reduced soil increases the buffering capacity of the soil.

구조용 합금 중 가장 우수한 비강도를 나타내는 마그네슘 및 마그네슘 합금은 최근 자동차, 항공, 기계 및 전자산업 등 다양한 산업분야에서 이용되고 있다. 하지만 마그네슘 합금은 반응성이 매우 커서 쉽게 부식되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 최근 내식성 향상을 위한 표면처리 기술에 대한 연구의 필요성이 증대되고 있으며, 그 중 플라즈마 전해산화법(Plasma electrolytic oxidation)은 양극산화반응을 이용하여 고내식성, 고경도의 산화피막을 금속 표면에 형성시키는 방법으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄산이온이 포함된 수용액에서 수산화나트륨의 농도가 AZ31 마그네슘 합금의 플라즈마전해산화 피막형성에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 다양한 농도의 수산화나트륨 용액에서 DC 전류를 인가하여 플라즈마전해산화 피막을 형성하였다. 탄산 이온이 포함된 수용액에서 수산화나트륨의 농도가 높아질수록 플라즈마 전해산화 피막의 형성전압은 낮아지며, 초기 피막 형성전압 상승 속도 또한 빠르게 증가하며 피막 형성전압 등락의 폭은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.
