Semiempirical MNDO calculations are employed to study relation properties on bridging OH group with Al-O(P-O) bond length and Al-O-P bond angle of structural characteristics using birdging $(OH)_3AlOP(OH)_3$ and $(OH)_3AlOHP(OH)_3^+$ model culster. We know that the O-H bond dissociation energy of bridging OH group is increased with increasing Al-O(P-O) bond length and decreasing Al-O-P bond angle. The bridging OH group is formed into enlarged Al-O(P-O) bond length and shortened Al-O-P bond angle in bridging oxygen atom by a hydrogen migration. The negative net charge of bridging oxygen atom is increased with longer Al-O-P bond angle, while the positive net charge is decreased with longer Al-O-P bond angle.

In this study, PSf-$Al(OH)_3$ beads were prepared by immobilizating aluminum hydroxide $Al(OH)_3$ with polysulfone (PSf). The removal experiments of the fluoride ions by PSf-$Al(OH)_3$ beads were conducted batchwise and the parameters such as pH, initial fluoride concentration, and coexisting ions were investigated. The maximum removal capacity obtained from Langmuir isotherm was 52.4 mg/g and the optimum pH region of fluoride ions was in the range of 4 to 10. The removal process of fluoride ions by PSf-$Al(OH)_3$ beads was found to be controlled by both external mass transfer at the earlier stage followed by internal diffusion at the later stage. The presence of coexisting anions such as $HCO_3{^-}$, $SO{_4}^{2-}$, $NO_3{^-}$, and $Cl^-$ had a negative effect on removal of fluoride ions by PSf-$Al(OH)_3$ beads.

Aluminum hydroxides were prepared by the alkoxide hydrolysis method using Al-isopropoxide as a starting material and NH4OH as a catalytic agent. When Al-isopropoxide was hydrolyzed in a H2O-NH3 system, only Al(OH)3 was obtained over all pH values. However, AlOOH was formed besides Al(OH)3 when Al-isopropoxide was hydrolyzed in a H2O-NH3-isopropyl alcohol system. The AlOOH/Al(OH)3 ratio was increased as the isopropyl alcohol content was increased. The hydroxides, Al(OH)3 and AlOOH, obtained in this study and the commerical products, $\alpha$-Al2O3 and AlOOH were subjected to the carbothermal reduction and nitridation reaction to product AlN powder, using carbon black as a reducing agent under N2 atmosphere at various temperatures. AlN was synthesized from the obtained Al(OH)3 and the commercial AlOOH at 145$0^{\circ}C$, however, synthesized from the obtained AlOOH and the commercial alpha-alumina at 135$0^{\circ}C$. The temperature difference is assumed to be attributed to the reactivity of those powders. AlN powder prepared from the Al-isopropoxide was observed to have the narrower particle size distribution than that prepared from the commercial $\alpha$-Al2O3 or AlOOH.

Treatment effects of dilute hydrofluoric acid (6 wt% HF) on the surface properties of $Al(OH)_3$ were investigated at the molar ratio of F/Al(fluoride/aluminum)=0.15. Temperature and pH variations in the reaction system were recorded to analyze reaction mechanism between $Al(OH)_3$ and aqueous Hf. The reaction of HF to the surface of $Al(OH)_3$ accompanied with a quantity of heat evolution, resulting in increasing temperature of a reactionsystem. And also the reaction was proceeded as transitional state which metastable ${\alpha}-form\;AlF_3{\cdot}3H_2O$ was transferred to insoluble ${\beta}$-form. The resulting ${\beta}-form\;AlF_3{\cdot}3H_2O$ formed by a surface treatment was identified by FT-IR and X-ray diffractormetry. The formation of ${\beta}$-form aluminum fluoride hydrates with diameter less than $1{\mu}m$ on the surface of $Al(OH)_3$ could be visulaized by SEM imgae, making up a coating layer as precipitate-like. The surface whiteness of $Al(OH)_3$ treated with aqueous HF was furthermore increased approximately 6.6% due to the formation of surface hydrates.

In this study, aluminum hydroxide ($Al(OH)_3$) was synthesized by Bayer process and sodium contained in $Al(OH)_3$ was removed with the acid solution such as HCl and acetic acid for the synthesis of high purity alumina. The bauxite produced in Queensland of Australia was used for the production of alumina by Bayer, and was crushed to a particle size of below 10 um by attrition mill. The crushed bauxite was treated in sodium hydroxide solution of 5 N for the elution of aluminum component. The elution of aluminum from bauxite was carried out at $140^{\circ}C$ and 3.4 atm in autoclave. The sample solution was separated to the red mud and liquid solution by filter paper. The elution of aluminum from bauxite was confirmed with changing a structure and aluminum content in both bauxite and red mud analyzed by XRD and EDX. Aluminum contained in the separated solution was crystallized to $Al(OH)_3$ with the addition of aluminum hydroxide used as the seed material. $Al(OH)_3$ powder obtained during the crystallization process was purified by several times washing with distillated water. It was also confirmed that the sodium remained in $Al(OH)_3$ powder is removed with acid solution. The purity of $Al(OH)_3$ powder produced in this study was 99.3% and the content of sodium was reduced to approximately 0.009% after the acid treatment.

The characteristics of sulfuric acid anodized layer was studied under various Conbitions, acid concentration : 5-20%, temperature : 5-25$^{\circ}C$, bath voltate : 16 volts , bath agitain : mech agitation : mechanical . The Al+++ ion increase in anodizing baty, the film thickness under microscope, the comparative porosity and the thickness were determined. It was found that film thickness and the porosithy which are the main factors of determining andoized layet quality, rule the corrosing and abrasiion tesistance of the film, and that the porosity is increasing in the outerlayer. The formation mechanism was assumed as follows : The film thickness -increase is due to OH_ ion diffusion into compact non-conductive layer and Al+ + OH_ \longrightarrowAl(OH), Al(OH)+ + OH_ \longrightarrowAl(OH)+$_2$ , Al(OH)+$_2$ + OH_ \longrightarrowAl(OH)$_3$., the strong adhesion force is alse due to Al(OH) or Al(OH)$_2$ in transtion layer. And the pore-nucleation is produced by volume change between Al and Al$_2$O$_3$ and activated H$_2$O gas created by large reaction heat of Al+(x) +OH_ \longrightarrowAl(OH)x.

Nonohmic properties of ZnO ceramics with various small amounts of additives were studied in relation to experimental methods, additive contant and sintaring temperature. The kinds of additives used to following chemicals were basic additives ($0.5Bi_2O_3$, $0.3BaCO_3$, $0.5MnCO_3$, $0.5Cr_2O_3$, $0.1KNO_3$), $TiO_2$ and $Al(OH)_3$. Expecially, this study has focused on the effectsof $TiO_2$ and $Al(OH)_3$ in ZnO ceramics with the basic additives. SEM studies indicated that the addition of TiO2 promoted grain growth but retarded grain growth with the addition of $Al(OH)_3$. Also, in the case of calcination of ZnO with $TiO_2$ and ZnO with $Al(OH)_3$ previously, grain size of ZnO with $TiO_2$ was larger and that of ZnO with Al(OH)3 was smaller in comparison to the case with out calcination. From the viewpoint of nonohmic exponent and nonohimic resistance, electrical characteristics of ZnO, $TiO_2$ and the basic additives was more effective than that of ZnO, $Al(OH)_3$ and the basic additives. Nonohmic exponent and nonohmic resistance of ZnO, $TiO_2$ and the basic additives was 11-13 and 40-65 respectively.

This study was investigated to the reaction of alumina sintering with alkaline. The soluble $NaAlO_2$ was made after the commercial ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ was calcinated with NaOH. The reaction of alumina was carried out to be based on the effects of calcination temperature, time, and the mixing ratio of ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3/NaOH$. The alumina was calcined over $500^{\circ}C$ with NaOH powder after it was sieved with 170/270 mesh. The calcined alumina with NaOH powder was dissolved into $25^{\circ}C$ distilled water and filtrated, and HCI was added to adapt pH 6.5~7.5. The residue was separated with vacuum pump for filtration after it was adapted to proper pH, and aluminum compound was precipitated with $Al(OH)_3$. The investigation was carried out with the variables; the calcination temperature($500-900^{\circ}C$), the calcination time (30~90 min), and the concentration of HCI when leaching(0.5~3.0N) respectively. In this investigation, the main product of ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ and NaOH was $NaAlO_2$ and the maximum conversion ratio was 91.4% under the optimum conditions as followed ; the ratio of NaOH/${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ was 1.5 and the calcination conditions were $800^{\circ}C$ and 90 min.
