Recently, Korean food culture has westernized and the consumption of meat has been increased. As a result an enormous amount of disposal of bone is generated and most of them are buried without reutilization. By making bone ash using pig bone, the possibilities of application are examined. The purpose of this study is to establish a manufacturing process of bone ash for the celadon bone body using pig bone. The calcination of the pig bone was mostly to change to the calcium phosphate hydroxide $(Ca_5(PO_4)_3OH)$. The celadon body mixed with pig bone ash 8%, $CaCO_3$ 9%, when fired at $1240^{\circ}C$ under reduction atmosphere, shows 0.1% of water absorption, 65.23 MPa of bending strength.

Long-term aluminum (Al) corrosion tests were designed to investigate the condition that would generate severe Al corrosion and precipitation. Buffer agents of sodium tetraborate (NaTB), trisodium phosphate (TSP) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were adopted. The insulation materials, fiberglass and calcium silicate (Ca-sil), were examined to explore their effects on Al corrosion. The results show that significant precipitates were formed in both NaTB/TSP-buffered solutions at high pH. The precipitates formed in NaTB solution raise more concerns on chemical effects in GSI-191. A passivation layer formed on the surfaces of coupon in solution with the presence of insulations could effectively mitigate Al corrosion. The Fe-enriched intermetallic particles (IPs) embedded in coupon appeared to serve as seeds to readily induce precipitation via providing extra area for heterogeneous Al hydroxide precipitation. X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses indicate that the precipitates are mainly boehmite (γ-AlOOH) and no direct evidence confirms the presence of sodium aluminum silicate or calcium phosphate.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of several materials on the healing process of apical wound. Sixteen mandibular premolars obtained from 4 healthy dogs were used for this study. Under general anesthesia, the pulpal chamber of each tooth was opened and the pulps were extirpated. The root canals were then instrumented with H-file and irrigated with physiologic saline solution ; the apices were purposely perforated and enlarged with the engine K-reamer. In the experimental groups, apical wounds were filled with one of calcium hydroxide, hydroxylapatite, and tricalcium phosphate materials, mixture of each materials and physiologic saline solution, with a lentulo spiral. In the control group, apical wounds were not filled with any material. All the root canals were filled by the lateral condensation technique with gutta-percha cone and ZOE sealer. The access opening of all the teeth were closed with amalgam. On the 10, 20, 40 and 60th day after experiment, experimental animals were sacrificed. Segments of jaws, each containing one tooth, were fixed in 10% formalin solution and decalcified in Plank-Rychlo solution. The specimens were embedded in paraffin and serially sectioned to an average thickness of $6{\mu}m$. The sections were stained by hematoxylin-eosin and Masson's trichrome stain method and examined under light microscope. The results were as follows : 1. In the experimental groups, the new bone formations were observed in apical wounds. 2. Fourty days later, apical wounds were healed by granulation tissue in the experimental groups, but were not healed by granulation tissue in the control group, and the healing process of experimental groups were more rapid than that of control group. 3. Sixty days later, chronic inflammation disappeared in the experimental groups, and the materials used showed biologic affinity to the periapical tissue. 4. In all the groups, the resorption of cementum appeared on the 10th and 20th day after experiment, and the deposition of cementum appeared on the 40th and 60th day after experiment, especially showing narrowness of apical foramen due to newly formed cementum in calcium hydroxide group. 5. Calcum hydroxide and tricalcium phosphate particles were gradually resolved, but hydroxylapatite particles were not resolved through the experimental period.

Objectives: This study was performed to investigate the effects of different intracanal medicaments on chemical structure and microhardness of dentin. Materials and Methods: Fifty human dentin discs were obtained from intact third molars and randomly assigned into two control groups and three treatment groups. The first control group received no treatment. The second control group (no medicament group) was irrigated with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), stored in humid environment for four weeks and then irrigated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The three treatment groups were irrigated with NaOCl, treated for four weeks with either 1 g/mL triple antibiotic paste (TAP), 1 mg/mL methylcellulose-based triple antibiotic paste (DTAP), or calcium hydroxide [$Ca(OH)_2$] and finally irrigated with EDTA. After treatment, one half of each dentin disc was subjected to Vickers microhardness (n = 10 per group) and the other half was used to evaluate the chemical structure (phosphate/amide I ratio) of treated dentin utilizing attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (n = 5 per group). One-way ANOVA followed by Fisher's least significant difference were used for statistical analyses. Results: Dentin discs treated with different intracanal medicaments and those treated with NaOCl + EDTA showed significant reduction in microhardness (p < 0.0001) and phosphate/amide I ratio (p < 0.05) compared to no treatment control dentin. Furthermore, dentin discs treated with TAP had significantly lower microhardness (p < 0.0001) and phosphate/amide I ratio (p < 0.0001) compared to all other groups. Conclusions: The use of DTAP or $Ca(OH)_2$ medicaments during endodontic regeneration may cause significantly less microhardness reduction and superficial demineralization of dentin compared to the use of TAP.

Industry- or regulatory-sponsored research activities on the resolution of Generic Safety Issue (GSI)-191 were reviewed, especially on the chemical effects. Potential chemical effects on the head loss across the debris-loaded sump strainer under a post-accident condition were experimentally evidenced by small-scale bench tests, integrated chemical effects test (ICET), and vertical loop head loss tests. Three main chemical precipitates were identified by WCAP-16530-NP: calcium phosphate, aluminum oxyhydroxide, and sodium aluminum silicate. The former two precipitates were also identified as major chemical precipitates by the ICETs. The assumption that all released calcium would form precipitates is reasonable. CalSil insulation needs to be minimized especially in a plant using trisodium phosphate buffer. The assumption that all released aluminum would form precipitates appears highly conservative because ICETs and other studies suggest substantial solubility of aluminum at high temperature and inhibition of aluminum corrosion by silicate or phosphate. The industry-proposed chemical surrogates are quite effective in increasing the head loss across the debris-loaded bed and more effective than the prototypical aluminum hydroxide precipitates generated by in-situ aluminum corrosion. There appears to be some unresolved potential issues related to GSI-191 chemical effects as identified in NUREG/CR-6988. The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, however, concluded that the implications of these issues are either not generically significant or are appropriately addressed, although several issues associated with downstream in-vessel effects remain.

Recycled aggregate used in a site is strong alkali due to calcium hydroxide attached on its surface. Accordingly, many environmental problems arise. Therefore, as basic research to reduce pH of recycled aggregate, this study tries to reduce the strong alkalinity of recycled aggregate by using mixture solution based on sodium phosphate and ammonium chloride. As a result, original aggregate has the strong alkalinity of pH 11.23, whereas pH of recycled aggregate immersed in mixture solution decreased as more mixture rate increased, and mostly pH 9.8 or less was found.

Construction waste is recycled and used for the efficient and eco-friendly disposal of construction waste increasing due to reconstruction and redevelopment project and so on. There is recycled aggregate as a typical case. And this recycled aggregate shows strong alkalinity due to calcium hydroxide, and causes many environmental problems. Therefore, this is a study on reduction in the strong alkalinity of recycled aggregate by using phosphate of ammonium in order to reduce the pH of recycled aggregate. Besides, a possibility that a pH reducing agent of recycled aggregate could be applied to a site was evaluated. As a result, it was possible to verify that pH decreased as the percentage of pH reducing agent increased. It is thought that the pH reducing agent can be applied to a site by methods such as immersion and spray using the pH reducing agent in the process of producing recycled aggregates.

After a vital pulpotomy in dogs' teeth, the responses of the remaining pulp tissue under calcium hydroxide and formocresol were studied histologically. The class I and V cavities were prepared on the teeth and the pulp was amputated. Calcium hydroxide and formocresol were placed over the amputated tissue and the cavities were sealed with zine oxide eugenol cement and zinc phosphate cement. Animals. were sacrifice after 1, 2, and 3 weeks following the operation. The teeth were decalcfied, sectioned and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Microscopic examination reveals as follows; 1. Healing of the pulp at the amputation site did not occur in the pulps treated with formocresol. 2. At one week, a thin layer of darker staining tissues just below the necrotic zone was presented in the pulps treated with formocresol. In this stage the tissues beneath the darker staining layer were normal. 3. At two weeks, the cells of the palest staining layer were showed indistinct nucleus which suggested the karyolysis and the karyorrhexis in the pulps treated with formocoresol. As reached to the middle third of the pulp, the odontoblasts were scarcely evident or missed in this stage. 4. At three weeks, the necrotic zone was reached to the middle third of the pulp canal. The cells beneath the zone showed massive infiltration of inflammatory cells in the pulps treated with formocresol. 5. Dentin bridge in the control group was deposited below the necrotic zone from the two. weeks later. 6. Normal tissues were observed ill the apical third of all. the dental pulps in all case of calcium hydroxide and formocresol.

Different adhesives(CF-clear, arabic gum, cethylmethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, hydroxy propyl cellulose, methyl cellulose) and particulate matters(bentonite, kaolin, calcium carbonate, peatmoss, talcum, vermiculite, zeolite, calcium hydroxide, plaster, calcium phosphate, vermiculite + calcium carbonate, vermiculite + kaolin, vermiculite + talcum) were evaluated by coating index method. According to the weight of single coated seeds, CF-clear and polyvinyl alcohol appeared to be the best coating adhesives for red clover and tall fescue seeds. Both vermiculite and vermiculite + talc(l : 1) for red clover, and vermiculite + talc(l : 1) for tall fescue appeared to be the best particulate matter(P < 0.01). Percent friability showed excellent results for the arabic gum, CF-clear, and polyvinyl alcohol when compared to others(p < 0.01). The coating index showed high with vermiculite and vermiculite + talc(l : 1) in coating red clover seed, and talc, vermiculite, and vermiculite + talc showed good coating index in coating tall fescue seed.

A soybean variety KWANG KYO was planted on the hilly land and fertile soil, and concentrated superphosphate and fused phosphate were applied on calcium hydroxide treated soil at level of 2.5%, 5% and 7.5% of phosphate absorbtion coefficient of soil. Application of phosphate fertilizer and lime caused higher grain yield in hilly land soil than fertile soil. The effect of fused phosphate on soybean yield was superior to concentrated superphosphate, and the effect of lime on fused phosphate availability was not significant. When the two phosphate sources were compared at equal $P_2O_5$ basis, fused phosphate required higher amount than concentrated super-phosphate. Negative correlation was obtained between potassium content and Ca + Mg in soybean leaf and in soil respectively.
