A great amount of fly ash, which is a waste from a thermal power plant, has not been appropriately recycled until now. Landfill of flay ash causes environmental pollution and enormous economic costs. In this study, manufacturing of architectural ceramic tile was investigated replacing fly ash with clay raw material. The properties of porcelain tile was analyzed after manufacturing porcelain tile with mineral based glaze and fast firing process. In particular, the effect of the fly ash addition on the properties of ceramic tile was investigated by increasing the amount of limestone addition. Porcelain tile with fly ash showed excellent bending strength, water absorption, warping and abrasion resistance. However, a significant decrease in durability was observed through the autoclave test. Addition of limestone increased the water absorption, twisting and hydration expansion of the ceramic tile, but it was confirmed that the durability of the ceramic tile with fly ash was greatly improved. In conclusion, recycled architectural ceramic tiles, which can meet domestic construction standards, could be manufactured with the addition of fly ash and limestone.

Here, we introduce a means of utilizing waste oyster shells which were obtained from temporary storage near coastal workplaces as $CO_2$ adsorbents. The calcined CaO can be easily dissociated to $Ca^{2+}$ cation and $CO_3{^{2-}}$ anion by hydrolysis and gas-liquid carbonation reaction and converted to precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) in algae-containing water. The calcium hydroxide and carbonation combination in algae-containing water significantly contributed to improving water quality which is very dependent on the addition amount of calcined powders.

Many materials such as silica gel, metallic oxide, activated alumina and alkaline earth metal carbonates were employed as filter media for gaseous oxides of ruthenium volatilized during high level radioactive waste processing. The adsorption efficiency of ruthenium on these materials was evaluated. For the purpose of observing behavior of ruthenium oxides, thermogravimetric analysis of ruthenium oxide in a stream of oxygen was carried out. The rate of volatilization was proportional to the square root of oxygen partial pressure, and increased exponentially with temperature. At $650^{\circ}C$, gaseous ruthenium oxides showed a strongly marked effect of deposition. Of all the materials available, calcium oxide proved to be the best that could be used to adsorb ruthenium.

Preparation and heavy metal ion adsorption of sumicron hydroxy apatite were studied in this experiment. Submicron HAP was synthesized with Ca(OH)2 solution and H3PO4.Ca(OH)2 solution was made from water-quenching of CaCO3 heated at 1, 00$0^{\circ}C$ and 20%-H3PO4 was dropped into this Ca(OH)2 solution heated at 8$0^{\circ}C$. XRD pattern of prepared powder showed HAP crystal. The average particle size and sahpe of HAP were 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and sphere type. As a adsorbent, 1.0g of the prepared HAP powder in 1 liter of artifical 5ppm heavy matal waste water was sufficient, and more effective at pH7-9.

The effects of impurities, included in the by-produced phosphogypsum from the dihydrate process, on the hydration of portland cement were studied. Six gypsums were adopted in this study; four different raw phosphogypsums from domestic fertilizer plants, a reprocessed phosphogypsum and a reagent grade pure gypsum. Cements with differing $SO_3$ content, were synthesized by grinding two different commercial clinkers and the above six gypsums together. The effects of the impurities were investigated by measuring the setting time, the non-evaporable water coatent, X-ray phase analysis of cement pastes and the compressive strength of cement mortar specimens. It was found that the soluble $P_2O_5$ known as one of injurious impurities on the hydration of portland cement, included in the demestic raw phosghoypsum cxneedigply by far the specified amounts of the Korean Industrial Standards (L9005), and retarded the setting time severely, thus the strength development of cement was delayed at the earlier stage of hydration.

Hydroxyapatite(HA) was prepared from waste tuna bone, and its sintering property and dissolution behavior were investigated. Tuna bone derived-HA powder consisted of mainly HA and small amount of MgO. Porous HA ceramics with sintered density of 79% was obtained by pressureless sintering at $1200^{\circ}C$. Meanwhile, HA ceramics prepared by hot pressing at $1000^{\circ}C$ showed dense microstructure with sintered density of 95%. Immersion test revealed that both porous and dense HA ceramics were stable in liquid environment without distinct evidence of surface dissolution. It may be assumed that the presence of Mg in tuna bone-derived HA may improve dissolution resistance of HA.

Fly Ashes which are produced from coal-fired powder plants and classified as general waste can be used as raw materials for bricks and tiles because of their compositional similarity with clays. There was a limit of substituting fly ash for clay because plasticity decreased with increasing fly ash additions. Accordingly this study tried to suggest a feastibility of enhancing the substitution ratio by controlling the interfacial properties of fly ash. The slip with 1:1 volume ratio showed that best dispersive characteristics under the condition of pH 2 Filter pressed cakes made of pH 2 slips also showed better plastickity than those of untreated ones. of pH 2 Filter pressed cakes made of pH 2 also shwoed better plasticity than those of untreated ones.

We manufacture artificial lightweight aggregates (ALWAs) using bottom-ash as the primary raw material. We coat the ALWA surfaces with low-melting point materials in order to enable them to bloat, which is essential to reduce the bulk density of the aggregate. Then, we sinter the prepared aggregates at 1000, 1100, and $1200^{\circ}C$ using either the direct or two-step firing schedules. Finally, we evaluate the properties of the fired samples through analyzing their bulk density, water absorption, and microstructure. The surface-modified samples result in a reduction of their bulk density by $0.3{\sim}0.4g/cm^3$ regardless of the firing method used. Based on these results, we conclude that this approach could provide a viable method for the mass-production of ALWAs from industrial waste such as bottom-ash.

A study of the recovery of tin and nickel from steel ball scraps for barrel plating was carried out through a physical treatment, a leaching treatment, hydrogen reduction and an electrolysis experiment. The recovery of the iron component was over 95% by the physical treatment. We obtained tin oxide in the form of metastannic acid ($SnO_2{\cdot}xH_2O$) with impurities of less than 5% from the leaching treatment. We also recovered the high-purity metallurgical tin at a rate that exceeded 99.9% by the electrolysis of crude tin obtained from the hydrogen reduction of metastannic acid.

The humidity-control function and manufacturing characteristics of wood-wool boards using waste-paper-mulberry fiber were analyzed in this study. For the manufacture of wood-wool boards, the pulverizing times of waste-paper-mulberry fibers were controlled at 30, 60, 120, and 180 s, and the mixing amounts were controlled by adding 0%, 3%, 6%, and 9%, respectively, as compared to cement. Analysis of the moisture adsorption and desorption characteristics of the wood-wool boards controlled for pulverizing time revealed that the wood-wool board with 60 s of pulverized fiber exhibited the best adsorption and desorption performances. It was estimated that the adsorption and desorption performances of the material itself were adequate even when the boards were mixed because of minimal damage to the fiber. In addition, an analysis of the absorption and desorption characteristics of the fiber-mixture-controlled wood-wool boards showed that the 6%-mixed wood-wool board had the best absorption and desorption performances of 291.00 g/m² and 108.75 g/m², respectively.
