This paper studies the experimental method that uses the homogeneous precipitation method to prepare mica flakes coated with anatase-type titania pearlescent pigment with urea as precipitant. The optimum technology parameters, the chemical composition, the microstructure, and the color property of resulting pigments are discussed. The coating principle of mica coated titania with various coating thickness is analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and tested by spectrophotometer analysis. The colored nanocrystalline pigments with different morphology and coating thickness 45-170 nm were prepared by homogeneous precipitation treatment of $TiOSO_4$(titanum oxysulfate) aqueous solutions. Characterizations on the pigments show that the pearlescent effects of the pigments depend mainly on mica size, thickness of the metal oxide deposit, its chemical composition, and crystal structure.

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.

Water pollution means that the physical, chemical and biological properties of water are changing. In this study, adsorption was chosen as the treatment method because it is an eco-friendly and low cost approach. Magnetite is a magnetic material that can synthesize chemical precipitation. Magnetite was used for the removal of copper in artificial water samples. For this purpose, metal removal from water dependent on the pH, initial concentration of metal, amount of adsorbent and effect of sorption time were investigated. Magnetite was characterized using XRD, SEM and particle size distribution. The copper ions were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. The adsorption of copper on the magnetite was studied in a batch process, with different aqueous solutions of Cu (II) at concentrations ranging from 10 to $50mg\;l^{-1}$. Optimum conditions for using magnetite were found to be concentration of $10mg\;L^{-1}$, pH: 4.5, contact time: 40 min. Optimum adsorbent was found to be 0.3 gr. Furthermore, adsorption isotherm data were analyzed using the Langmuir and Freundlich equations. The adsorption data fitted well with the Freundlich ($r^2=0.9701$) and Langmuir isotherm ($r^2=0.9711$) equations. Kinetic and equilibrium aspects of the adsorption process were studied. The time-dependent Cu (II) adsorption data were described well by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

For the purpose of development of an effective process for purified CHMI particles, a series of experimental researches on the synthesis of CHMI from CHMAIE, purification and precipitation of CHMI were preformed. It is turned out that n-heptane reflux imidation is more beneficial than toluene put-out imidation not only to the synthesis but to the precipitation of CHMI. By washing the synthetic CHMI with cold n-heptane twice, purified CHMI with 99.7% purity could be obtained at the cost of 11.7% weight loss. And CMHI particles were effectively prepared by spouting molten CHMI through the spiral nozzle with 3 mm diameter under the pressure of $1.5{\sim}2.0kg/cm^2$.

Stable poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) [P(St-co-DVB)] micro spheres with narrow size distribution were synthesized in the presence of 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethyl valeronitrile) (V-65) and co-initiator in an acetone/water mixture in the precipitation polymerization at $53^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. Potassium peroxodisulfate (KPS), ammonium peroxodisulfate (APS) and sodium peroxodisulfate (NaPS) were used as co-initiators. The optimum ratio of acetone to water for the formation of a narrow distribution of P(St-co-DVB) particles was 49:11 (g/g). The optimum co-initiator compositions for narrow distribution were 9:1 (g/g) for V-65 to KPS, 11:1 for V-65 to APS and 6:1 for V-65 to NaPS. The yield for these compositions was $54{\sim}57%$ and the largest particle size was obtained with the lowest zeta-potential and CV values. From the XPS measurements, the charge density was increased but the zeta potential decreased with increasing sulfur content, implying that the sulfate group provides the electrostatic stabilization on the particle surface. This suggested that the self-crosslinking between styrene and DVB, the electrostatic stabilization of initiators, and the balanced hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties of the solvents are responsible for the formation of stable P(St-co-DVB) spherical particles with narrow size distribution.

The present research work reports a low temperature ($40^{\circ}C$) chemical precipitation technique for synthesizing hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles of spherical morphology through a simple reaction of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate and di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate at pH 11. The crystallinity of the single-phase nanoparticles could be improved by calcinating at $600^{\circ}C$ in air. Thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) revealed the synthesized HAp is stable up to $1200^{\circ}C$. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) studies confirmed the formation of spherical nanoparticles with average size of $23.15{\pm}2.56nm$ and Ca/P ratio of 1.70. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) isotherm of the nanoparticles revealed their porous structure with average pore size of about 24.47 nm and average surface area of $78.4m2g^{-1}$. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to confirm the formation of P-O, OH, C-O chemical bonds. Cytotoxicity and MTT assay on MG63 osteogenic cell lines revealed nontoxic bioactive nature of the synthesized HAp nanoparticles.

This study provides the optimal conditions treating with the coagulation process and the other chemical treatment processes for dyeing wastewater, especially various dyeing complex wastewater. The results are shown as follows: 1. Optimum reaction condition of pH for ferrous sulfate was the range of 9 to 12. And when 3,000ppm(mg/l) of ferrous sulfate was dosed, the maximum $COD_{Mn}$ removal rate was approximately 40%. 2. In case of ferrous chloride and Bittern as coagulants, optimum pH range was 10 to 11. And maximum $COD_{Mn}$ removal rate was approximately 46% to 50% for dose of 2,000ppm(mg/l) to 6,000 ppm. 3. It is confirmed that the activated sludge process following coagulation precipitation method provides better treatment efficiency than the coagulation precipitation method following the activated sludge process. 4. The purpose of this study was to produce CGF (Cyanoguanidineformaldehyde resin) by organic compounds. 5. The complex coagulation agent by this study is the most economical coagulant with Alum(aluminum sulfate) and the removal efficiency is approximately 54% with 1,000ppm(mg/l) of pH range 6 to 7.

강수(Precipitation)는 전 지구적으로 물과 에너지를 순환하는 과정이면서, 아울러 다양한 가스상ㆍ입자상 오염물질들을 대기로부터 토양, 강물, 삼림 등으로 운반하는 물질의 순환과정이기도 하다. 강수를 통해 대기중의 오염물질들이 지표면으로 운반되는 과정은 크게 두 가지로 나누어 볼 수 있다. 하나는 대기중의 매우 작은 입자(0.1~2$\mu\textrm{m}$)의 입자들이 응축핵으로 작용하여 구름을 형성하고, 비가 되어 내리면서 대기로부터 제거되는 rainout 혹은 in-cloud scavenging 과정이다. (중략)

A series of $Ce_1Mg_xZr_{1-x}O_2$ (CMZO) mixed metal oxide with different molar ratio were prepared by simple co-precipitation method. The prepared materials were tested for their catalytic activity performance using Knoevenagel condensation of various aromatic aldehydes with barbituric acid under solvent-free condition in microwave. The best catalytic activity was obtained with CMZO (1:0.6:0.4). The synthesized materials were characterized by using XRD, FT-IR, SEM-EDS techniques.
