We have studied internal quality including chemical compositions, microscopic structure and nonmetallic inclusion of test materials. We have analyzed tensile strength value, hardness value, impact value etc. In analyzing internal quality, all of the test materials showed typical ferrite+pearlite structure. But nonmetallic inclusion showed oxide and sulfide inclusions in medium carbon steels, and sulfide inclusion is S-free cutting steels. In ca+ S-free cutting steels, the calcium aluminate and sulfide complex inclusion had low-melting points as deformation of sulfide and oxide inclusion is existed. It was found that tensile strength and hardness give maximum value in medium carbon steels, where as minimum in Ca + -free cutting steels. But values of elongation, reduction of area impact are reverse. Fracture surface of impact specimen is ductile in free cutting steels but brittle in medium cabon steels.

Diffusion of SO4-- ion in hardened cement paste with slag and siliceous powders such as silica fume and white carbon was investigated. Ca(OH)2 from hardenend cement paste was dissolved by sea-water and then gypsum was formed from the reaction of Ca++ in hardenend cement paste and SO4-- ions in MgSO4 solution. A part of the gypsum by reaction with calcium aluminate hydrates formed ettringite. Amounts of SO4-- ions passed through hardened cement paste was less than that of Cl- ions(Dcl-) in hardened cement paste were 0.1∼0.6${\times}$10-11$\textrm{cm}^2$/sec and 1∼4${\times}$10-8$\textrm{cm}^2$/sec respectively.

In this paper, We have studied internal quality incluiding chemical compositions, microscopic structure and nonmetalic inclusion of test material. We have analyzed dynamic characteristics of cutting resistence and compared chip treatment of the test material. In analyzing internal quality, all of the test material have typical ferrite+pearlite structure. But, nonmetallic inclusion has oxide and sulfide inclusion has oxide and sulfide inclusion in medium carbon steel, mainly sulfide inclusion is existed in S-free cutting steel. In Ca+S-free cutting steel, calcium aluminate and sulfide complex inclusion, had low-melting point, as deformation of sulfide and oxide inclusion is existed. Machining characteristics, cutting resistence is maximum in medium carbon steel. Chip treatement are excellent in S-free cutting steel, similar to the Ca+S free cutting steel and medium carbon steel.

Current iron and steelmaking operation was re-evaluated on the basis of slag engineering technology to optimize slag operations. In blast furnace process, increase in the basicity of slags (C/S) could obtain progressed fluidity and hot metal quality. COREX process would be stabilized in view of slag fluidity and hot metal quality by reducing input content of $SiO_2$and $A1_2$$O_3$In STS-AOD process, addition of small amount of lime could improve refining capacity of the slag; also calcium aluminate flux could be taken into account as a potential substitute for fluorspar, without degradation of operation efficiency and steel quality.

Molecular dynamics simulation (MD) of $(62-x)CaO{\cdot}38Al_{2}O_{3}{\cdot}xBaO$ glasses has been carried out using empirical potentials with the covalent term. The simulations closely reproduce the total neutron correlation functions of glass with 5 mol% BaO and physical properties of these glasses such as elastic constants. For these glasses, aluminum is tetrahedrally coordinated by oxygen, but there is a part of five-fold and six-fold coordination of aluminum. There are no major changes to the mid-range structure of glass, as barium is substituted for calcium. To predict the barium coordination number, we have used the bond valence (BV) theory and also compared the results of simulation with Bond valence. The coordination number for oxygen around barium atoms is close to 8 and the average distance of barium and oxygen is nearly 2.80 A. The viscosity of these glasses increases with the content of barium oxide substituted for calcium oxide.

Heavy metal ion immobilization properties of microporous ettringite (3Ca$O{\cdot}Al_2O_3{\cdot}3CaSO_4{\cdot}32H_2$) body were examined using standard solutions of typical heavy metals. Microporous Ettringite body with desirable shape for an ionic adsorbent was obtained by the self hardening of the paste prepared from the mixture of tricalcium aluminate($C_3$A) and gypsum(CaS$O_4{\cdot}2H_2$O). Crushed grains of ettringite were soaked in each standard solutions of Pb, Co, Cd, Mn and Cr concentrated at 200 ppm. In order to evaluate the ionexchange and immobilization ability, the ionic concentration of the filtrate solution as well as the solution obtained after leaching test was measured. As a result, for the heavy metal ions excepting Cr, porous ettringite body was revealed to be excellent in ionic exchange and immobilization properties though some ions eluted at the severe condition of pH 2. The adsorption and keeping capacity for four heavy metals showed the order of $Pb{>}Co{>}Cd{>}$Mn.

Blue phosphor calcium aluminate, $CaAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$ co-doped with $Nd^{3+}$ was prepared by solid state synthesis method. Phosphor materials with 1 mol% $Eu^{2+}$ and varying compositions of $Nd^{3+}$ show high brightness and long persistent luminescence. The synthesized phosphor materials were investigated by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, TEM, photoluminescence excitation and emission studies. Broad band UV excited luminescence of the $CaAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}:Nd^{3+}$ was observed in the blue region (${\lambda}_{max}=440\;nm$) due to transitions from the $4f^65d^1$ to the $4f^7$ configuration of the $Eu^{2+}$ ion. $Nd^{3+}$ ion doping in the phosphor results in long afterglow phosphorescence when the excitation light is cut off.

The clinker of which main component was calcium-chloroaluminate ($l1CaOㆍ7Al_2$$O_3$ㆍ$CaCl_2$), was synthesized with the bottom ash of municipal solid waste incinerator ash. The hydration mechanism and synthesis temperature of calcium-chloro-aluminate were investigated. The synthesized clinker was blended with a cement. It was substituted with 3～13 wt.% for clinker and $CaSO_4$ of ordinary portland cement. The compressive strength and the content of leached heavy metals of its mortar were measured. Calcium-chloroaluminate was synthesized above $800^{\circ}C$ and its main hydrate was ettringite ($3CaOㆍAl_2$$O_3$ㆍ$3CaSO_4$ㆍ$32H_2$O). The calcium-chloroaluminate was also synthesized above $800^{\circ}C$ with the bottom ash of which size fraction was below 30 mesh mainly. The compressive strength of the blended cement mortar was increased as the additive content of the clinker synthesized from the bottom ash was increased by 11 wt.%. The concentration of heavy metals leached from each mortar was satisfied with the value of the environmental standards and regulations.

The objective of this study is to remove arsenate from artificially contaminated wastewater using CaAl-ettringite and CaAl-monosulfate which were synthesized in laboratory. The study was carried on the basis of solidification/stabilization of waste using cement. Monosulfate and ettringite are constituents of cement paste. The CaAl-ettringite has a chemical formula of $Ca_6Al_2O_6(SO_4)_3{\cdot}32H_2O$ and has a needle like morphology. Whereas CaAl-monosulfate $Ca_4Al_2O_6(SO_4){\cdot}12H_2O$ has layered double hydroxide structure (LDH) in which the mainlayer consists of Ca and Al and S as interlayer. Ettringite and monosulfate were synthesized by reaction of tricalcium aluminate and gypsum and hydrating this mixture at elevated temperature. The synthesized mineral were characterized by PXRD and FESEM to ensure purity. It was found that concentrations of As(V) in contaminated water were reduced from initial concentration of 1.335 mmol/L to 0.054 mmol/L and 0.300 mmol/L by CaAl-monosulfate and CaAl-ettringite respectively. The post experimental results of PXRD and FESEM analysis indicate that arsenate removal was by ion exchange.

Hydration of granulated blastfurnace slag-gypsum-$C_4A_3\bar{S}$ clinker/modified converter slag clinker was investigated to develop the cement of slag-gypsum system. In the hydration of granulated slag-gypsum-$C_4A_3\bar{S}$ system clinker, the hydrates such as ettringite, CSH gel and $AH_3$ gel were formed, and the strength of hardened body would be increased by forming compact microstructure. The modified converter slag clinker which contains alite and calcium aluminate was synthesized, and the hydration reactivity of the cement from this clinker, gypsum and granulated slag is similar to usual portland cement, and the hydrates were mainly CSH, ettringite, and $Ca(OH)_2$.
