Commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) and Ti alloys (typically Ti-6Al-4V) display excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Although the chemical composition and topography are considered important, the mechanical properties of the material and the loading conditions in the host have, conventionally. Ti and its alloys are not bioactive. Therefore, they do not chemically bond to the bone, whereas they physically bond with bone tissue. The electrochemical deposition process provides an effective surface for biocompatibility because large surface area can be served to cell proliferation. Electrochemical deposition method is an attractive technique for the deposition of hydroxyapatite (HAp). However, the adhesions of these coatings to the Ti surface needs to be improved for clinical used. Plasma electrolyte oxidation (PEO) enables control in the chemical com position, porous structure, and thickness of the $TiO_2$ layer on Ti surface. In addition, previous studies h ave concluded that the presence of $Ca^{+2}$ and ${PO_4}^{3-}$ ion coating on porous $TiO_2$ surface induced adhesion strength between HAp and Ti surface during electrochemical deposition. Silicon (Si) in particular has been found to be essential for normal bone and cartilage growth and development. Zinc (Zn) plays very important roles in bone formation and immune system regulation, and is also the most abundant trace element in bone. The objective of this work was to study electrochemical characteristcs of Zn and Si coating on Ti-6Al-4V by PEO treatment. The coating process involves two steps: 1) formation of porous $TiO_2$ on Ti-6Al-4V at high potential. A pulsed DC power supply was employed. 2) Electrochemical tests were carried out using potentiodynamic and AC impedance methoeds. The morphology, the chemical composition, and the micro-structure an alysis of the sample were examined using FE-SEM, EDS, and XRD. The enhancements of the HAp forming ability arise from $Si/Zn-TiO_2$ surface, which has formed the reduction of the Si/Zn ions. The promising results successfully demonstrate the immense potential of $Si/Zn-TiO_2$ coatings in dental and biomaterials applications.

In last two decades, an impressive progress has been recorded in terms of developing new materials or refining existing material composition/microstructure in order to obtain better performance in biomedical applications. The success of such efforts clearly demands better understanding of various concepts, e.g. biocompatibility, host response, cell-biomaterial interaction. In this article, we review the fundamental understanding that is required with respect to biomaterials development, as well as various materials and their properties, which are relevant in applications, such as hard tissue replacement. A major emphasize has been placed to present various design aspects, in terms of materials processing, of ceramics and polymer based biocomposites, Among the bioceramic composites, the research results obtained with Hydroxyapatite (HAp)-based biomaterials with metallic (Ti) or ceramic (Mullite) reinforcements as well as $SiO_2-MgO-Al_2O_3-K_2O-B_2O_3-F$ glass ceramics and stabilized $ZrO_2$ based bioinert ceramics are summarized. The physical as well as tribological properties of Polyethylene (PE) based hybrid biocomposites are discussed to illustrate the concept on how can the physical/wear properties be enhanced along with biocompatibility due to combined addition of bioinert and bioactive ceramic to a bioinert polymeric matrix. The tribological and corrosion properties of some important orthopedic metallic alloys based on Ti or Co-Cr-Mo are also illustrated. At the close, the future perspective on orthopedic biomaterials development and some unresolved issues are presented.

본 연구에서는 생체활성 타이타늄 차폐막의 제조에 필요한 기초적인 자료를 얻기 위해서 타이타늄 박판의 양극산화처리와 석회화 순환처리의 조건 및 이들 표면처리가 표면특성과 생체활성도에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. $30{\times}20{\times}0.08mm$의 타이타늄 판을 준비한 다음 $HNO_3:HF:H_2O$를 12 : 7 : 81 로 혼합한 용액에서 10 초 동안 산세처리 후 사용하였다. 타이타늄 차폐막의 비표면적을 증가시키기 위해서 나노튜브 $TiO_2$층을 형성한 후, 하이드록시아파타이트의 석출에 따른 생체활성도를 개선하기 위해서 석회화 순환처리를 하였다. 표면처리된 표면특성을 평가하기 위해서, 부식에 대한 저항성시험, 젖음성 검사, 유사체액 침적시험을 실시하였다. 양극산화처리로 형성된 나노튜브들은 상대적으로 큰 직경의 튜브들과 작은 직경의 튜브들로 구성되어 있었으며, 내부는 비어있고 외벽은 서로 결합되어 있는 구조를 보였다. 연속적으로 시행된 석회화 순환처리로 나노튜브층에 하이드록시아파타이트 석출물이 침투되어 결합이 일어났으며, 순환처리 회수가 증가함에 따라서 HAp 의 석출량이 비례적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 결론적으로, 타이타늄 차폐막의 표면에 나노튜브 $TiO_2$ 층을 형성한 후 석회화 순환처리를 하여서 HAp 의 석출을 유도하는 것은 생체활성도 개선에 크게 기여할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 Tetracalcium Phosphate(TTCP), Dicalcium Phosphate Anhydrate(DCPA)계 골 시멘트에 $\beta$-tricalcium Phosphate (TCP)와 Precipitated Hydroxy Apatite(PHA)를 첨가하였을 때, 골시멘트의 초기 응결시간과 강도에 미치는 영향 및 in vitro test후의 표면 미세구조의 변화를 관찰하고자 하였다. 골 시멘트에 사용된 TTCP와 $\beta$-TCP는 약 3-5$mu extrm{m}$으로 합성후 분쇄하였으며, DCPA는 0.9$\mu\textrm{m}$, 그리고 PHA는 4$\mu\textrm{m}$의 평균 입경을 가졌다. 각각의 조성으로 배합된 시멘트는 Vicat건에 의한 초기응결시간 측정과 압축강도 시험을 행하였고, 의사체액내에 침적 후 침전 생성물을 x-선 회절 분석과 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 분석, 관찰 하였다. 초기 응결시간은 $\beta$-TCP나 PHA의 존재 유무와 함량의 증가에 따라 크게 좌우되지 않았으나, 분말 : 액상의 비에 영향을 받았으며, 특히 PHA가 함유되는 경우 PHA의 비표면적으로 인하여 응결에 요구되는 액상의 양은 PHA가 없는 경우에 비하여 2배 이상 되었다. $\beta$-TCP PHA의 첨가로 인해 압축강도는 낮아졌고, 이는 수화 생성물인 HAP의 생성 정도가 낮았기 때문이었다. 이는 x-선 회절 분석과 주사전자 현미경 관찰을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구로부터 TTCP-DCPA계 골 시멘트에 $\beta$-TCP나 PHA의 첨가는 기계적 물성과 생체 반응성 향상에 효과적이지 못하다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

제철소에서 산업부산물로 다량 발생되는 제강전로슬래그를 struvite 정석반응의 정석재로 사용하여 고농도의 질소와 인의 제거특성을 파악하고자 하였다. $NH_4$-N와 $PO_4$-P의 제거 및 회수를 위한 struvite 정석반응의 최적의 pH영역은 8.0~8.75 범위로 확인되었다. pH 8.0~8.75 영역에서 struvite 침전 및 정석반응에 의한 총제거효율은 $NH_4$-N와 $PO_4$-P에 대하여 각각 34.3~61.0%와 91.0~96.2%의 값을 나타냈다. Struvite 정석반응에 의한 $NH_4$-N의 제거는 pH 8.5에서 29.4%의 최대값을 보였고 $PO_4$-P의 경우 pH 8.0에서 65.1%로 최대값을 나타냈다. 수중의 Ca 이온농도가 증가할수록 struvite 정석반응에 의한 $NH_4$-N의 제거효율은 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으며 $PO_4$-P의 경우에는 Ca 이온농도의 변화에 총제거효율이 크게 변하지 않았다. SEM, EDS 및 XRD 분석결과 struvite 정석반응에서 $NH_4$-N과 $PO_4$-P의 제거는 MAP과 HAp 결정이 독립적으로 혹은 정석재의 표면상에 발생함으로써 진행되는 것으로 판단되었다.

The algal blooms in stagnant streams and lakes have caused many problems. Excessive algae leads to disturbance of ecosystem and overload of water treatment processes. Therefore, phosphorus(P), source of algal blooms, should be controlled. In this study, a filtration trench has been developed to convert dissolved phosphorus into hydroxyapatite(HAP) so that it could be crystallized on the surface of 'phosphorus removal granular material'; and residual particulate phosphorus could be removed by additional precipitation and filtration. The front and rear parts of filtration trench consisted of 'phosphorus removal granular material contact bed' and 'limestone filtration bed', respectively. As a result of the column test using phosphorus removal granular material and limestone serially, $PO_4-P$ was removed more than 90% when EBCT(empty bed contact time) of the contact bed was over 20 minutes; and T-P represented 60% of removal efficiency when total EBCT was over 1.5 hours. The results of column tests to figure out the sedimentation characteristics showed that more than 90% of particulate phosphorus could be removed within 24 hours. It was necessary to optimize the filtration part in order to increase removal efficiency of T-P additionally. Also, it was confirmed through the simulation of Visual MINTEQ that most of particulate phosphorus in the column tests is the form of HAP. Based on the results of the study, it could be suggested that the design parameters are over 0.5 hour of EBCT for phosphorus removal granular material contact bed and over 1.5 hours of EBCT for limestone filtration bed.

Struvite (MgNH₄PO₄ ⋅ 6H₂O) and hydroxyapatite (HAP, Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂) precipitation in urine-separating toilets (NoMix toilets) causes severe maintenance problems and also reduce the phosphate and calcium content. Application of urine separating technique and extraction of by-products from human urine is a cost effective technique in waste water treatment. In this study, we extract urine calcite from human urine by batch scale method, using urease producing microbes to trigger the precipitation and calcite formation process. Extracted urine calcite (calcining at 800℃) is a potential adsorbent for removal of heavy metal(loid)s like (Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺ and As³⁺) along with additional leaching analysis of total nitrogen (T-N), phosphate (T-P) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). The transformations of calcite during synthesis were confirm by characterization using XRD, SEM-EDAX and FT-IR techniques. In additional, the phosphate leaching potential and adsorbate (nitrate) efficiency in aqueous solution was investigated using the calcinedurine calcite. The results indicate that the calcite was effectively remove heavy metal(loid)s lead up to 96.8%. In addition, the adsorption capacity (q_e) of calcite was calculated and it was found to be 203.64 Pb, 110.96 Cd, 96.02 Zn, 104.2 As, 149.54 Cu and 162.68 Ni mg/g, respectively. Hence, we suggest that the calcite obtain from the human urine will be a suitable absorbent for heavy metal(loid)s removal from aqueous solution.
