  • Ferrous cement hydrates made from hydrating Portland cement doped with Fe (II) were reported to reductively dechlorinate chlorinated organics and to reduce Cr (VI) to Cr (III). In this study, kinetics of nitrate removal by ferrous cement hydrates were investigated. Nitrate removal kinetics were characterized by experimental variables such as cement hydration, amount of cement addition, Fe (II) dose, pH, and byproducts. As a result, hydrated cement showed better performances than non-hydrated cement due to the formation of LDH (layered double hydroxide). Doping of Fe (II) into the cement was found to improve removal efficiency at high pHs by association with Fe (II) sorbed on cement hydrates as a reactive reductant. Reduction of nitrate produced ammonium as a major product, which accounted for 63.5% of the final products, and nitrite (0.15%) as a minor product. These results indicate that the developed media are effective as sorbent/reducing agents in the nitrate removal and the reaction mechanisms of nitrate removal are sorption and reduction.

  • This experiment was carried out with the purpose of testing cadmium adsorption abilities of multi wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT), activated carbon, and synthesized layered double hydroxide (LDH). In the acidic condition, only MWCNT was effective for removing cadmium ion in the aqueous phase while other adsorbents rarely removed it. The MWCNT and cadmium ion adsorption reactions followed pseudo-first order kinetic. When the initial pH value was neutral (pH = 7), cadmium ion was rapidly removed by MWCNT and activated carbon in 4 hr (100% and 99.2%, respectively). Increasing adsorbent dosages affects the pH evolution and cadmium ion removal (0 to 99%). Cytotoxicity test showed that both MWCNT and LDH has low cytotoxic effects on three kind of human cells (A549, HS-294t, and HT-29).

  • After cleft lip repair, many patients suffer from nasolabial fistulas, asymmetrical nasal floor, or an indistinct nostril sill, as well as intraoral wound dehiscence and subsequent scar contracture of surgical wounds leading to vestibular stenosis. For successful primary nasolabial repair of complete cleft deformity of the primary palate, cleft surgeons need special care in reconstructing the sound nasal floor. Especially when the cleft gap is wide or when any type of nasoalveolar molding therapy was not performed, three-dimensional reconstruction of the nasal floor is critical for a balanced nasal shape. In this study, the author describes an effective method for reconstructing a double-layered nasal floor using two mucosal flaps from both sides of the fissured upper lip. This is a report of six patients with unilateral or bilateral complete cleft of the primary palate with a detailed description of the surgical technique and a literature review.

  • This study was carried out to evaluate the possibility of Chromium removal by 3 different kinds of adsorbents, where activated carbon(AC), carbon nanotube(CNT) and layered double hydroxides(LDHs) were employed. The highest surface area was shown in AC and pore volume was in CNT which were $1028.1m^2{\cdot}g^{-1}$ and $0.829cm^2{\cdot}g^{-1}$, respectively. AC and CNT are composed of more than 99% carbon. AC has shown the possibility of chromium removal more than 80.2% under the acidic pH condition.
