This study was carried out to research on the optimum condition of $MgAl_2O_4$ spinel synthesis and the chara-ceteristics of its sintered bodies. In this study the used materials-MgO $Al_2O_3$-were prepared from the extragrade chemicals $Mg(OH)_2 Al(OH)_3$ respectively. The tendency to spinel synthesis and sintering condition were discussed about additives of SEM and the characteristics of sintered bodies were measured by TMA etc, The results were as follows ; 1. The addion of $TiO_2$ promoted more effectively the sinterbility than that of $MnO_2$. 2. Residual $\alpha$-$Al_2O_3$ and MgO in theorectical composition samples were disappeared at 1$600^{\circ}C$ 3. When added MnO2 residual $\alpha$-$Al_2O_3$ and MgO were disappeared at 150$0^{\circ}C$ and 1$600^{\circ}C$ respectively. 4, . When added $TiO_2$ residual $\alpha$-$Al_2O_3$ and MgO were disappeared at 150$0^{\circ}C$ and 134$0^{\circ}C$ respectively.

Aluminum hydroxides were synthesized by a simple electrolytic reaction of aluminum plates. The aluminum hydroxide, boehmite (AlO(OH)), was predominantly formed in the application of electrical potential at and above 30V, while the mixture of bayerite ($Al(OH)_3$) and boehmite (AlO(OH)) phases were formed below 20V. The boehmite has a clear fibrous structure controlled on nanometer scale. On the contrary, the bayerite consists of the typical hourglass or semi-hourglass shaped coarse crystals as a result of aggregation of various crystals stacked together. The specific surface area of the boehmite nanofiber was markedly high, approaching at about $302\;m^2/g$.

Aluminum hydroxides were synthesized by a simple electrolytic reaction of aluminum plates. The aluminum monohydroxide, boehmite(AlO(OH)), was predominantly formed by the application of an electrical potential above 30V, while the mixture of the bayerite$(Al(OH)_3)$ and boehmite(AlO(OH)) phases were formed below 20V.

Synthesis of high purity ultrafine Si3N4 and ${\beta}$-Sialon powders was investigated via the simultaneous reduction and nitriding of amorphous SiO2, SiO2-Al2O3 system prepaerd by hydrolysis of alkoxides, using carbonablack as a reducing agent. In Si(OC2H5)4-C2H5 OH-H2 O-NH4OH system, hydrolysis rate increased with increasing reaction temperature and pH. Pure ${\alpha}$-Si3N4 was formed at 1350$^{\circ}C$ for 5 hrs in N2 atmosphere. In Si(OC2H5)4-Al(OC3H7)3-C6H6-H2 O-NH4OH system, weight loss increased as Si/Al ratio decreased. Single phase ${\beta}$-Sialon consisted of Si/Al=2 was formed at 1350$^{\circ}C$ in N2 and minor phases of ${\alpha}$-Si3N4, AIN, and X-phase were existed besides theSialon phase at other Si/Al ratios. The Si3N4 and Sialon powders synthesized from alkoxides consisted of uniform find particles of 0.05-0.2$\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter, respectively.

Alumina-surfactant mesostructures have been synthesized with the $Al_{13}$-Keggin cation prepared by Al(N $O_3$)$_3$.9$H_2O$ solution with NaOH solution in the presence of a non-ionic surfactant at room temperature. The synthesized samples had the hexagonal structure similar to MCM-41 type materials. These samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis(TG). The samples prepared from OH/Al ratio 1.5 and 2.0 were well-crystalline mesostructures, but the sample from OH/Al ratio 2.5 was not. Also, The d$_{100}$ value decreased slightly from 38 to 36 according to the OH/Al mole ratio. These results could be explained that Keggin ion depended on the OH/Al molar ratio and pHpH

Both an unreinforced $Al_2O_3$/Al matrix and a ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ particulate reinforced composite have been produced by the oxidation of an Al surface doped with NaOH in the absence of any other dopant. Fabrication of the matrix was initiated by the formation of $NaAlO_2$, which provides a favorable surface structure for the matrix formation by breaking the protective $Al_2O_3$ layer on Al. During the matrix growth, the external surface of the growth front was covered with a very thin sodium-rich oxide. A cyclic formation process of the sodium-rich oxide on the growth surface was proposed for the sodium-induced directed metal oxidation process. This process involves dissolution of the sodium-rich oxide, motion of Na to the growth front, and re-formation of the oxide on the surface. Near-net-shape composites were fabricated by infiltrating an $Al_2O_3$/Al matrix into a ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ particulate preform, without growth barrier materials. The infiltration distance increased almost linearly in the NaOH-doped preform.

This study was performed to examine the effect of initial composition ratio and various reaction conditions on CEC and crystallinity of the product in hydrothermal synthesis of zeolitic materials from fly ash. Na-P1 zeolite was formed from the mixture with $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ ratio above 2.55, however from the mixture with $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ ratio below 2.25 hydroxy sodalite was formed. The CEC of reaction product(Na-P1 zeolite) treated with 3N-NaOH, $Na_2O/Al_2O_3$ ratio 2.55 and $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ ratio 2.0 for 12 hours at $103^{\circ}C$ was about $285cmol^+kg^{-1}$, which was higher than those of the products of other reaction condition. The crystallinity of Na-P1 zeolite as high as 45.1% was attained at the optimum reaction condition of 2N-NaOH, $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ ratio 2.55, $Na_2O/Al_2O_3$ ratio 1.5 for 12 hours at $103^{\circ}C$. The XRD peak of the reaction product could be measured at 7.16, 5.04, 4.12, 3.18, $2.69{\AA}$ and tetragonal pillar shape observed by SEM image be characteristic for Na-P1 zeolite. Judging from the result, it should be considered the optimum synthesis condition for Na-P1 zeolite from fly ash was 2~3N NaOH, $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ ratio 2.55 and $Na_2O/Al_2O_3$ ratio 1.5~2.0 for 12 hours at $80{\sim}103^{\circ}C$.

In order to use alunite as an activator of blast furnace slag, we studied the hydration characteristics of the calcined alunite and the ground blast furnace slag. The alunite calcined at $650{\cire}C$ consists of KAl($KAl(SO_{4})_{2}$ and $Al_{2}O_{3}$. The calcined alunite reacts with $Ca(OH)_{2}$ and gypsum to form etrringite ($3CaO{\cdot}Al_{2}O_{3}{\cdot}3CaSO_{4}{\cdot}32H_{2}O$) as fellows:$2KAl(SO_{4})_{2}+2Al_{2}O_{3}+13Ca(OH)_{2}+5CaSO_{4}{\cdot}2H_{2}O+73H_{2}O{\rightarrow}3(3CaO{\cdot}Al_{2}O_{3}{\cdot}3CaSO_{4}{\cdot}32H_{2}O)+2KOH$. The $SO_{4}^{2-}$ ions from calcined alunite reacts with CaO in blast furnace slag to from gypsum, which reacts with CaO and $Al_{2}O_{3}$ to from ettringite in calcined alunite-blast furnace slag system. Therefore blast furnace slag can be activated by calcined alunite.

This study presents the $CO_2$ methanation reaction on Pt catalysts for reducing the amount of $CO_2$, one of greenhouse gases. The AlO(OH) of $Al_2O_3$precusor was used as a support via a thermal treatment and the Pt was used as an active metal. In XRD results, it was confirmed that the Pt was well dispersed and the support existed as the gamma $Al_2O_3$phase. The $Pt/Al_2O_3$ catalyst calcined at $600^{\circ}C$ showed the highest conversion efficiency and selectivity.

In the $Al(OH)_3-SiO_2-AlF_3$ system, leaf-shaped fluorotopaz was first formed at $800^{\circ}C$ and mullite whisker was formed at $1,100^{\circ}C$. The mass transportation of Al and Si as gas phase, the fast reaction and growth, and the absence of liquid phase existence in mullite whisker showed that the formation and growth of mullite was from the solid-vapor reaction.
