The effect of Ca/P mole ratio (Ca/P=1.60, 1.67, 1.75) in the initial solution on the mechanical properties of alumina added hydroxyapatite was investigated. Hydroxyapatite was synthesized by precipitation method using Ca(NO3)2$.$4H2O and (NH4)2HPO4 as starting materials and 5 wt% of ${\alpha}$-Al2O3 was added to precipitation solution. The powder was calcined at 800$^{\circ}C$ and sintered at 1,150∼1,400$^{\circ}C$ under water vapor atmosphere. With the increasing of Ca/P mole ration in the initial solution, the amount of tricalcium phosphate formed from the decomposition of hydroxyapatite reduced and the sinterability and mechanical properties were increased. The bending strength and Vickers hardness of the specimen sintered at 1,300$^{\circ}C$ with the Ca/P mole ratio of 1.75 in the initial solution were 230 MPa and 650 kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$, respectively. The improvement of mechanical properties was attributed to not only the effect of Ca/P mole ratio but also the strengthening of sintered body by Al substitution for P ions.

Oxynitride glasses in Na-Ca-Si-O-N system were prepared by melting at 135$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours in N2 gas. The effects of Si/Na mole ratio and the various Si3N4 contents were investigated. Stable oxynitride glasses can be obtained up to 9wt.% Si3N4 content in case the Si/Na mole ratio was 2.12 and 1.62, but $\beta$-Si3N4 was precipitated at 9wt.% Si3N4 content in case the Si/Na mole rtio was 1.12. Density (p), chemical durability, hardness (Hv), and fracture toughness (KIC) increased with increasing Si3N4 content. In cae the Si/Na mole ratio was 1.12, the increment of properties was remarkable but hardness and fracture toughness did not increase no longer owing to precipitation of $\beta$-Si3N4.

The glass-forming conditions are investigated in the $K_2$O-CaO-$SiO_2$ $-P_2$$O_{5}$ system with 10~65 mole% of$ P_2$$O_{5}$. Thermal properties and dissolution properties were investigated according to variation of the SiO and KO contents in selected compositions. The glass formation condition was determined when $K_2$O/$P_2$$O_{5}$ mole ratio 0~0.24, $SiO_2$/($SiO_2$+$P_2$$O_{5}$ ) mole ratio 0～0.29, and CaO/$P_2$$O_{5}$ mole ratio 0~1.00. In the result of the thermal properties, the glass transition temperature($T_{g}$) and softening temperature($T_{s}$ ) were gradually shifted to the lower temperature range with increase of $K_2$O contents. The maximum value of the chemical durability was shown in $K_2$$PO_2$$O_{5}$ mole ratio 0.17 when the $SiO_2$ contents were changed, and $K_2$O was fixed at 10 mole%. Hence the change of the $K_2$O/$P_2$$O_{5}$ mole ratio was found that a new main factor of the chemical durability.

We have investigated the influence of Ti/Ba mole ratio in the characteristics of the modified $BaTiO_3$ systems with Ca addition. The specimens were fabricated with variations in Ti/Ba mole ratio between 0.995 and 1.01, and sintered in the temperature range between $1325^{\circ}C$ and $1375^{\circ}C$. When Ti/Ba mole ratio was 1.005 and sintering temperature was $1350^{\circ}C$, the breakdown voltage shows 260[V /mm].

the preliminary work on the prepartion of fine hydroxyapatite powder and the synthesis of dense hydroxyapatite ceramic from the powder were investigated for the development of artificial bone and tooth materials for implants. The effects of the process variables such as compositions of the raw materials the initial pH of the solutions and sintering temperature on the physical properties were investigated in order to determine the optimum conditions for the fabrication of tooth implant material. As the initial pH of the solutions was increased in the range of 10-11.6 the initial particle size of precipitates was decreased thus the sinterability of precipitates was improved. It was found that the composition of calcium rich of 1.75 in Ca/P mole ratio exhibited better sinterability and mechanical strength of the apatite ceramics for example the highest value of Vicker's hardness obtained from the compositions of 1.75 in Ca/P mole ratio was 764±30 Kg/mm2 compared to the maximum value of 600 kg/mm2 obtained from the compositions of 1.67 in Ca/P mole ratio.

MiDF, Micro Defect Free concrete, is the concrete made for high strength development by minimizing the defects such as micro pore and ITZ. Since MiDF exhibits strength through hydro-thermal synthesis reaction, it is essential to select the optimum C/S mole ratio. In this study, the basic characteristics of MiDF were evaluated by controlling the C/S mole ratio by SF and QP.

Several intermediate glasses are investigated to bond the alumina and the hydroxyapatite (HAp). The chemical compositions of the intermediate glasses are chosen as $CaO-Al_2O_3$. The mole ratio of CaO/$Al_2O_3$ is changed from 0.5 to 3.0. The lowest melting is observed at $1355^{\circ}C$ in the specimen of CaO/$Al_2O_3$ at the mole ratio of 2. With increasing contents of $Al_2O_3$, the melting temperatures gradually increase and a number of pores are observed. The sectional microstructure shows that the good wetability is observed in higher contents of CaO specimens. This implies that the good wetability is obtained in the mole ratio range of CaO/$Al_2O_3geq2$. The phase transformations are observed after treatment but the major peaks of HAp still exist.

The desulfurization characteristics of anthracite in a bench scale pressurized fluidized bed combustor are investigated. The coal used in the experiment is domestic anthracite from Kangwon Taeback area. The desulphurization experiment is performed with limestone from Chungbuk Danyang. The pressure of the combustor is maintained at 6 atm, and the combustion temperatures are 850, 900, and 950$\^{C}$. The superficial gas velocities are 0.9, 1.1, and 1.3 m/s. The excess air ratio is varied from 5 to 35%. The Ca/S mole ratios are 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 and 4.5 mole. All experiments are executed at 2m bed height. Consequently, SO$_2$ concentration in the flue gas is increased with incresing bed temperature and superficial gas velocity. However SO$_2$ concentration is decreased with incresing excess air ratio and Ca/S mole ratio.

The objectives of this study were to investigate $SO_2$ removal efficiency of anthracite - bituminous coal blend combustion in a fludized bed coal combustor with Ca/S, anthracite ratio, bed temperature, and waste paper sludge particle size. The experimental results were presented as follow ; the effect of the desulfurization by the particle size of waste paper sludge was a great and $SO_2$ removal efficiency was heigest in paper sludge dia $1016{\mu}m$. And the difference of $SO_2$ removal efficiency according to air velocity was not too large. As Ca/S mole ratio incresed, $SO_2$ removal efficiency incresed rapidly up to Ca/S mole ratio 3 while the desulfurization rates did not increse too largely in the range of more than the level. The bed temperature had a great deal of effect on the desulfurization rate. So the $SO_2$ removal efficiency was a graet using waste paper sludge that the properbility of paper sludge as sorbent was conformed.

The effects of starting composition, sintering temperature and porosity on the mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite ceramics were investigated. The hydroxyapatite powder were prepared by precipitation method using Ca(NO3)2.4H2O and (NH4)2.HPO4. The obtained powders were Ca-deficient hydroxyapatites and as the Ca/P mole ration in the initial solution was increased, the particle size of the precipitates was decreased, and the decomposition of hydroxyapatite to $\beta$-TCP was controlled. The porosity, as well as Ca/P mole ratio in starting composition and sintering temperature, plays major role in the mechanical properties of dense hydroxyapatite ceramics.
