ZnO nanorods for gas sensors were prepared by a hydrothermal method. The ZnO gas sensors were fabricated on alumina substrates by a screen printing method. The gas-sensing properties of the ZnO nanorods were investigated for $CH_4$ gas. The effects of growth time on the structural and morphological properties of the ZnO nanorods were investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The XRD patterns of the nanocrystallized ZnO nanorods showed a wurtzite structure with the (002) predominant orientation. The diameter and length of the ZnO nanorods increased in proportion to the growth time. The sensitivity of the ZnO sensors to 5 ppm $CH_4$ gas was investigated for various growth times. The ZnO sensors exhibited good sensitivity and rapid response-recovery characteristics to $CH_4$ gas, and both traits were dependent on the growth time. The highest sensitivity of the ZnO sensors to $CH_4$ gas was observed with the growth time of 7 h. The response and recovery times were 13 s and 6 s, respectively.

Nanosized zeolite was prepared in an autoclave at a hydrothermal temperature range of 100 to $170^{\circ}C$. In TEM and particle-size analyses, the size of the nanosized powders was found to be 10-300 nm, and its distribution is uniform and spherical, depending on the hydrothermal temperature. XRD confirms that the nanosized powder is MFI zeolite.

Nano-sized Zinc selenide (ZnSe) powder was successfully synthesized using Zn and Se precursors in a hydrothermal process. Temperature for the synthesis was varied from $95^{\circ}C$ to $180^{\circ}C$ to evaluate its influence on the microstructural properties of the synthetic particles. ZnSe powder thus fabricated was characterized using various analytical tools such as SEM, XRD, TEM and UV-Vis methods. Two types of ZnSe particles, that is, the precipitated particle and the colloidal particles, were identified in the analysis. The precipitated particles were around 100 nm in average size, whereas the average size of the colloidal particles was around 20 nm. The precipitated particles made at $150^{\circ}C$ and $180^{\circ}C$ were found to be a single phase of ZnSe; however, an inhomogeneous phase was obtained at the lower synthesis temperature of $95^{\circ}C$, suggesting that the temperature for the synthesis should be over $100^{\circ}C$. The precipitated particles were inactive in the UV-Vis absorption investigation, whereas the colloidal particles showed that absorptions occurred at 380 nm in the UV-Vis spectrum.

The sintering and electrical properties of the hydrothermal PSZT powders obtained by substituting 4, 6 and 8mol% Sr for Pb in PZT lattice structure were investigated. The lattice constant and particle size decreased in proportion to a quantity of Sr. The sintering properties of PSZT powders showed $7.754g/cm^3$ of sintered density and $4{\mu}m$ of grain size at sintering temperature of $1250^{\circ}C$. Curie temperature lowered gradually from $363.6^{\circ}C\;to\;319.2^{\circ}C$ and relative dielectric constants increased rapidly by a quantity of Sr. In comparison to PZT, moreover, the quality factor of PSZT was increased more than three times with increase of Sr mole ratio, and piezoelectric constant $(d_{31}\;and\;g_{31})$ was decreased. It was found that dielectric loss of PSZT was decreased by 0.574% which was half of PZT.

ALC was fabricated using cement, lime and quartzite by hydrothermal reaction. ALC has low strength and brittleness on account of inner pores. The studies for resolving these problems were driven by many researchers. Among these researches, the controls of quartzite fineness have been studied for unsuitable properties of ALC. This study experimented with variation of 90 ${\mu}m$ residue for obtain good physical properties. It was found that 90 ${\mu}m$ residue influenced on physical properties of ALC. The lower amount of 90 ${\mu}m$ residue, the higher compressive and bending strength. But the continuing decrease of 90 ${\mu}m$ residue did not cause the increase of strength. In order to application of these results in process, the states of process and hydrothermal products will be considered.

This paper investigated the synthesis conditions of nano-sized $TiO_2$ powder in a hydrothermal process at a temperature range of $100{\sim}180^{\circ}C$ considering the precipitation agent, precipitation pH, reaction temperature and time. Titanium hydroxide formed by $NH_4OH$ exhibited a lower crystallization temperature than that by NaOH and formed less aggregated $TiO_2$ particles. As the precipitation pH increased above 8, the shape of the particles changed from spherical to needle form, which appeared to be caused by dissolution and re-precipitation of the titanium hydroxide in an alkali environment.

The Hydroxyapatite powders were prepared by Wet-direct and Hydrothermal synthesis using Ca(NO3)2.4H2O and (NH4)2.HPO4.Stoichiometric and good cristalline HAp powders were obtained 9$0^{\circ}C$ by wet-direct process. The aspect ratio of HAp powders prepared by hydrothermal synthesis was increased with increasing synthetic temperature. The HAp particles obtained at 20$0^{\circ}C$ for 10hr were needle shaped ultra fine crystals, about 100nm in size. Small amount of TCP was obtained above 80$0^{\circ}C$ after heat-treatment of hydrothermally synthesized HAp but good crystalline HAp phase was maintained up to 120$0^{\circ}C$ as the primary phase.

Nanoscale $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ phosphor has been synthesized by a mild hydrothermal reaction at various experimental conditions. The particle and luminescent properties of nanophosphors were characterized with X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and photoluminescence. It has been found that pH value play a key factor both controlling particle size and luminous efficiency.

The hydrothermal carbonization method has received great attention because of the conversion process from biomass. The reaction produces various products in hydrochar, bio-liquid, and gas. Even though its yield cannot be ignored in amount, it is difficult to find research papers on bio-liquid generated from the hydrothermal carbonization reaction of biomass. In particular, the heterogeneity of feedstock composition may make the characterization of bio-liquid different and difficult. In this study, bio-liquid from the hydrothermal carbonization reaction of food wastes at $230^{\circ}C$ for 4 h was investigated. Among various products, fatty acid methyl esters were analyzed using two different extraction methods: liquid-liquid extraction and column chromatography. Different elutions with various solvents enabled us to categorize the various components. The eluents and fractions obtained from two different extraction methods were analyzed by gas chromatography with a mass spectrometer (GC/MS). The composition of the bio-liquid in each fraction was characterized, and seven fatty acid methyl esters were identified using the library installed in GC/MS device.
