This study investigated the physiological effects of a diet containing calcium oxide (CaO) on the olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. The results indicate that the amount of calcium in the blood was higher in the calcium group compared with the controls. The aspartate amino transferase (AST) and alanine amino transferase (ALT) levels were lower in the calcium group, while lysozyme activity was higher in the calcium group. Histologically, fish in the calcium group had more hepatocytes in the liver and more intact scales. In addition, an attack experiment using Vibrio anguillarum (KCTC-2711) and Edwardsiella tarda (KCTC-3657) showed that the survival was higher in the calcium group compared with the controls. These results suggest that feeding fish CaO when they require it, such as during periods of gonadal maturation and rapid growth, will increase their immunity and resistance to pathogens.

The effects of aqueous calcium oxide (CaO) treatment on the quality characteristics and shelf life of mulberry (Morus alba L.) were investigated. Mulberry fruits were immersed in 0, 0.5, 1, and $2g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ CaO solutions for 0, 1, 3, 6, and 12 min. Mulberries were then rinsed with potable tap water for 1 min and stored at $-1^{\circ}C$ for 14 days. CaO treatment was effective at promoting the retention of titratable acid, pH, and ascorbic acid as well as total flavonoid contents. CaO concentration and treatment time were significant factors affecting the sensory qualities of the fruits, including off-odor, flavor, and texture. For shelf life determinations, the total bacterial count was reduced by CaO treatment so that the samples treated with $1g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ CaO for 12 min had bacterial levels at 14 days comparable to those of the control at 4 day, and no coliform group was detected after CaO treatment. These results indicate that calcium oxide treatment is a promising approach for the preservation of mulberry fruit.

The present study investigated a novel calcium hydroxide-coated dairy manure-derived biochar (Ca-BC) for adsorption of phosphate from water and dairy wastewater. The Ca-BC showed much higher adsorption of phosphate than that of dairy manure-derived biochar. The Ca-BC possessed mainly the calcium hydroxide and various functional groups resulting in high reactivity between phosphate and calcium hydroxide in the Ca-BC. The adsorption of phosphate onto Ca-BC followed pseudo-second order kinetic and Freundlich isotherm models indicating chemisorptive interaction occurred on energetically heterogeneous surface of Ca-BC. The maximum adsorption capacity of the Ca-BC was higher than those of iron oxide and zinc oxide-coated biochars, but lower than those of CaO- and MgO-coated biochars. However, the Ca-BC showed high reactivity per surface area for adsorption of phosphate indicating importance of surface functionalization of biochar. On the other hand, the adsorption of phosphate in dairy wastewater on Ca-BC was lower than that in water owing to competition between other anions in wastewater and phosphate. Overall, the Ca-BC would be a low cost and effective adsorbent for recovery of phosphate from water and wastewater.

$CaCl_2$, CaO 및 $WO_3$로 構成되는 熔融鹽을 黑鉛 陽極과 鐵 陰極으로 電解하여 순수한 金屬텅스텐을 얻는 方法에 관하여 실험하였다. 電氣分解에 적합한 熔融浴을 選定하기 위하여 $CaCl_2$-CaO系와 $CaCl_2-CaWO_4$系에 관한 二相 狀態圖를 작성하였으며 同時에 $CaCl_2$와 $WO_3$와의 高溫下에서의 化學反應을 검토하여 安定한 電解浴을 얻기 위해서는 一定量의 CaO가 添加되어야 할 것임을 알 수 있었다. 炭素陽極을 사용하여 $WO_3$를 W와 CO로 분해시킬 때의 分解電壓은 -0.1 volt이었으며 熱力學的 計算에 의한 것은 -0.3 volt이었다. 熔融鹽을 電氣分解한 結果 金屬텅스텐이 100%에 가까운 電流效率로 電極에 析出되나 이는 陽極에서 二次的으로 발생하는 CO가스에 의하여 쉽게 WC등으로 변화하므로 순수한 텅스텐을 얻기 위해서는 電解浴의 溫度를 $1100^{\circ}C$이상으로 유지하여야 된다는 것을 알게 되었다. 電解浴의 組成은 可及的 低融點과 $WO_3$의 分解, $CaCl_2$의 蒸發 등을 억제하기 위해서는 $CaCl_2$ 100分에 대하여 CaO와 $WO_3$가 각 10 乃至 20分이 適切하였으며 CaO와 $WO_3$의 몰比率은 1이상이 요구되었다. 陰極 電流密度를 1~5 $amp/cm^2$의 範圍에서 變化시켜도 電流效率에 큰 影響이 없었다.

Due to excellent properties such as high specific strength and low density, application of magnesium alloys have been rapidly increased. However, magnesium alloy has a serious problem that is easily oxidized when exposed to high-temperature. For this reason, magnesium alloys have been generally used for SF6 gas such as protective cover gas in casting and melting, but it has been reported that this gas has a serious influence on global warming. Therefore, many researchers have been studied to improve the oxidation resistance of magnesium alloy. It was reported that addition of Be, Ca and CaO in magnesium alloy can improve the oxidation properties. In this study, the possibility of improving the oxidation resistance by adding CaO extracted from oyster shells was investigated. Oyster shells were completely decomposed into CaO and CO₂ by annealing. With the addition of CaO, a coexistence region of MgO + CaO was formed in the oxide layer and its thickness was also reduced.

Objectives: This study aimed to synthesize nanocrystals (NCs) of zinc oxide (ZnO) and calcium ion (Ca²⁺)-doped ZnO with different percentages of calcium oxide (CaO), to evaluate cytotoxicity and to assess the effects of the most promising NCs on cytotoxicity depending on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Materials and Methods: Nanomaterials were synthesized (ZnO and ZnO:xCa, x = 0.7; 1.0; 5.0; 9.0) and characterized using X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, and methylene blue degradation. SAOS-2 and RAW 264.7 were treated with NCs, and evaluated for viability using the MTT assay. NCs with lower cytotoxicity were maintained in contact with LPS-stimulated (+LPS) and nonstimulated (-LPS) human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). Cell viability, nitric oxide (NO), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were evaluated. Cells kept in culture medium or LPS served as negative and positive controls, respectively. One-way analysis of variance and the Dunnett test (α = 0.05) were used for statistical testing. Results: ZnO:0.7Ca and ZnO:1.0Ca at 10 ㎍/mL were not cytotoxic to SAOS-2 and RAW 264.7. +LPS and -LPS hDPCs treated with ZnO, ZnO:0.7Ca, and ZnO:1.0Ca presented similar NO production to negative control (p > 0.05) and lower production compared to positive control (p < 0.05). All NCs showed reduced ROS production compared with the positive control group both in +LPS and -LPS cells (p < 0.05). Conclusions: NCs were successfully synthesized. ZnO, ZnO:0.7Ca and ZnO:1.0Ca presented the highest percentages of cell viability, decreased ROS and NO production in +LPS cells, and maintenance of NO production at basal levels.

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.

Objectives: This study investigated the cytotoxicity, radiopacity, pH, and dentinal tubule penetration of a paste of 1.0% calcium-doped zinc oxide nanocrystals (ZnO:1.0Ca) combined with propylene glycol (PRG) or polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol (PEG-PRG). Materials and Methods: The pastes were prepared by mixing calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)₂] or ZnO:1.0Ca with PRG or a PEG-PRG mixture. The pH was evaluated after 24 and 96 hours of storage in deionized water. Digital radiographs were acquired for radiopacity analysis and bubble counting of each material. The materials were labeled with 0.1% fluorescein and applied to root canals, and images of their dentinal tubule penetration were obtained using confocal laser scanning microscopy. RAW264.7 macrophages were placed in different dilutions of culture media previously exposed to the materials for 24 and 96 hours and tested for cell viability using the MTT assay. Analysis of variance and the Tukey test (α = 0.05) were performed. Results: ZnO:1.0Ca materials showed lower viability at 1:1 and 1:2 dilutions than Ca(OH)₂ materials (p < 0.0001). Ca(OH)₂ had higher pH values than ZnO:1.0Ca at 24 and 96 hours, regardless of the vehicle (p < 0.05). ZnO:1.0Ca pastes showed higher radiopacity than Ca(OH)₂ pastes (p < 0.01). No between-material differences were found in bubble counting (p = 0.0902). The ZnO:1.0Ca pastes had a greater penetration depth than Ca(OH)₂ in the apical third (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: ZnO:1.0Ca medicaments presented higher penetrability, cell viability, and radiopacity than Ca(OH)₂. Higher values of cell viability and pH were present in Ca(OH)₂ than in ZnO:1.0Ca.

석탄 연소기술에서 타 연소로에 비해서 유동층 연소는 황산화물과 질소산화물 배출을 줄이는 기술이다. 석회석의 소성으로 생성되는 CaO에 의한 황산화물의 제거와 저온 연소와 공기 다단계 주입에 의한 NOx를 줄일 수 있다는 것이 유동층 연소로의 큰 장점이지만, 상대적으로 $N_2O$의 배출은 매우 높다. $N_2O$는 지구온난화 가스일 뿐만 아니라 성층권내의 오존층을 파괴하는 물질이기도 하다. CaO는 $N_2O$ 분해를 위한 촉매 물질로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 CaO를 충진시킨 고정층 반응기에서 CaO에 의한 $N_2O$의 분해특성에 관하여 수행하였으며, 유동층 연소온도와 가스조성에서 온도변화에 대한 $N_2O$의 분해특성, CaO 충진량의 변화와 $CO_2$, NO, $O_2$ 농도변화에 따른 $N_2O$ 분해특성에 관하여 수행하였다. 또한 실험 결과로부터 CaO표면에서 $N_2O$분해반응에 대한 반응속도식을 나타낼 수 있었다. 결과로서 온도가 증가함에 따라 $N_2O$ 분해반응이 증가하였으며, $CO_2$의 농도를 변화시킬 경우 $CO_2$ 농도가 증가할수록 $N_2O$ 분해반응이 감소하였다. NO 존재시와 비교하였을 때 $N_2O$의 분해반응이 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 반응속도론적으로 해석한 결과 $CO_2$ 농도에 대한 $N_2O$ 분해반응의 반응속도식을 다음과 같이 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과 CaO는 $N_2O$분해 반응에서 좋은 촉매 기능을 지니고 있음을 알 수 있었다. $\frac{d[N_2O]}{dt}=\frac{3.86{\times}10^9{\exp}(-15841/R)K_{N_2O}[N_2O]}{(1+K_{N_2O}[N_2O]+K_{CO_2}[CO_2])}$
