The purpose of this experiment was to measure the leaking and solubility of commonly used dental restorative materials - Silux plus (CS), Hi-pol (CH), Clearfil F-II, Fissureseal (FS), Glass-Ionomer cement Fuji Type II (GI), Amalgam Cavex 68 (AM), Zinc Phosphate Cement (ZP) and gutta-percha (GP) and investigate the relation between the solubility and marginal leakage. Disc-shape specimens were fabricated with each material and dipped into deionized water, 0.01M lactic acid and 0.005M KOH solution, thus the total ionic concentrations in each solution was measured with ion chromatograph after 1, 3, and 7 days, respectively. For the solubility test, each specimen was immersed in 0.001M and 0.01M lactic acid for 24 hours, respectively and total weight loss was calculated. Also, Zn leaking through the margin of restorations was measured. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The amounts of eluted ion from the eight materials were most in 0.01M lactic acid and least in deionized water. 2. Of the eight materials, the fluoride release was greatest for glass ionomer cement (GI) in 0.01 M lactic acid after 7 days. 3. In analysis of the divalent cation, Mg was eluted most for zinc phosphate cement (ZP) and Ca for Clearfil F-II (CF) in 0.01M lactic acid after 7 days. 4. In analysis of transition metals, Cu and Zn were detected only. 5. The solubility rate of eight materials was greater in 0.01M lactic acid than in 0.001M for 24 hours, for zinc phosphate cement (ZP) the rate was greatest (5.4%) in 0.001M lactic acid, and amalgam least (0.01%). 6. The Zn concentration of restorative material with Z.P.C base was greater in 0.01M lactic acid than in 0.001M lactic acid.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of organic acids on solubility of calcium. As a results, acetic and lactic acid showed the most excellent solubility of calcium. Calcium solubility was increased at initial total acid (4%) in citric acid but calcium was insoluble in tartaric acid. After solving, pH and residuals were decreased where as total acidity and calcium content were increased as increment of initial acidity of acetic and lactic acid. Calcium content in seaweed calcium and calcium carbonate were higher than that of nano calcium. Solubility of calcium was more conspicuous at lactic acid than acetic acid.

Statement of problem. Among the physical properties of adhesion luting cement, the aspect that requires the most important factor is the degree of solubility and water sorption. Dissolution or an inadequate due to excessive water sorption inside the oral cavity compromises the while concurrently increasing the susceptibility to secondary dental caries. Susceptibility to dissolution and difficulty of removing remnant cement from the gingival sulcus have hindered the use of dental resin cement in the clinical practice, but the improved characteristics of newer generation resin cements have interest in and enabled resin cements to be widely used in adhesion of fixed prosthesis, such as laminate veneers and all-ceramic crowns. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the degrees of solubility and water sorption of a variety of resin cements widely used for clinical purposes with different curing methods. Material and methods. Self-curing resin cements, $Avanto^{(R)}$, $C&B^{TM}$ CEMENT and Superbond C&B cements comprised group 1, 2 and 3. The dual-curing resin cements $Panavian^{TM}$ F, $Calibra^{(R)}$ and $Variolink^{(R)}$ II were divided into groups 4, 5, and 6, respectively. The investigation was carried out using disc-shaped specimens as specified by ANSI/ADA Specification No. 27. The degree of water sorption, water solubility and lactic acid solubility of each test group was analyzed statistically leading to the following conclusion. Results. The degree of water sorption was shown to increase in the following order : group 6, 5, 4, 2, 1 and 3. There were significant differences between the water sorption of each group. Results of the degree of water solubility were shown to increase in the following order : group 6, 5, 4, 2, 1 and 3. Statistically significant differences were found between each group, with the exception of groups 1 and 3. Finally, the degree of lactic acid solubility was found to increase in the following order : group 6,5,4,2,3 and 1. Significant differences were found between each group. In general dual-curing resin cements displayed substantially lower values than self-curing resin cements with regard to water sorption, water solubility, and lactic acid solubility. Conclusions. From the results of this study, dual-curing resin cements show a significantly lower degree of water sorption and solubility than their self-curing counterparts. Clinically, when selecting resin cements, the product with a lower degree of water sorption and solubility are preferred. The results of this study indicate that the use-of dual-curing resin cements is preferable to self-curing cements.

Chelates synthesized with Cu(II) ion and lactic acid or chitosan were applied to the hydrolysis of organophosphate simulant, DFP (diisopropyl fluorophosphate). Under the homogeneous reaction condition, Cu(II)-lactic acid chelate hydrolyzed DFP with the half life time of 37.1 min. Cu(II)-LMWS chitosan chelate was synthesized with 1 kDa molecular weight of chitosan, which showed low solubility, and then crystallized. The half life time for hydrolyzing DFP using Cu(II)-LMWS chitosan was 32.9 h indicating that the reaction rate is enhanced as much as 16 times more than that of using 18 kDa chitosan-Cu(II) complex. Under the homogeneous reaction condition, the half life time of Cu(II)-LMWS chitosan was 8.75 h. Therefore, we found out that the solubility of Cu(II)-LMWS chitosan makes the difference in the reaction rate as much as 4 times.

In this study, precipitation process was developed for the recovery of the lactic acid from calcium lactate fermentation broth. Calcium lactate yield was improved by decreasing the solubility of calcium lactate through the addition of ethanol (25%, v/v) as a co-precipitant. The optimal lime type, lime concentration, stirrer speed, precipitation time, temperature, and solvent amount for $Ca(LA)_2$ precipitation were CaO, 0.0175 g/mL, 220 rpm, 24 h, $5^{\circ}C$, ethanol 25% (v/v), respectively. Lactic acid was easily and efficiently recovered from precipitated $Ca(LA)_2$ by adding sulfuric acid ($Ca(LA)_2/H_2SO_4$ molar ratio=1:1). In the model solution of organic acids and fermentation broth, the overall yields of recovered lactic acid were 62% and 55%, respectively, under the aforementioned optimal conditions.

We have developed a method that can leach Co, Mn, and Ni in the cathode active material safely using lactic acid. When cathode active material was leached by lactic acid, lactic acid showed the highest efficiency at 2 N than 1 N and above 4 N concentration. When the cathode active material was added incrementally into the solution of lactic acid, the maximum solubility was 30 g/L at 2 N concentration. Oxalic acid was added in the solution of lactic acid and it showed that rare metals represent the most economical recovery efficiency at 4 g/L. Based on this study, it was found that the optimal condition for recovery of rare metals from cathode active material is oxalic acid : cathode active material = 7 : 1 as a ratio of weight. In addition, it was observed that the precipitate produced by oxalic acid is a polynuclear crystalline material bonded with 3 components of Co, Ni, and Mn.

Precipitation and reactive distillation were employed to recover lactic acid from fermentation broth. Lime was initially added to fermentation broth in order to convert soluble lactic acid to an insoluble calcium lactate form. Drowning-out crystallization was used to decrease the solubility of calcium lactate by adding ethanol as a co-precipitant. In the ideal solution of organic acids as well as fermentation broth, precipitation experiments were performed with varying amounts of ethanol. Precipitation process was followed by reactive distillation. Carboxylate salts formed in the previous precipitation process were mixed with carbon dioxide and triethylamine to precipitate as calcium carbonate. The remaining liquid was distilled for 1 hr at different temperatures. Triethylamine and water were recovered from the top of the distiller, while organic acids, inducing lactic acid as a main component remained in feeding bottle. The yield of recovered lactic acid was 67.5% with the purity of 99.7%.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the fluoride release and solubility of glass ionomer cement associated with three pH media. For this study, GC Fuji II discs (20.0mm in diameter ${\times}$ 1.5mm thick) were immersed in pH 4.0 lactic acid, pH 7.0 distilled water and pH 10.0 KOH solutions for 1, 7, 14 and 28 days. The amount of fluoride release from the cement into three pH media were measured by fluoride specific ion electrode and the solubility was measured by weight loss of discs. The results were as follows: 1. The lower was the pH of media, the more was the amount of release of fluoride. 2. The amount of fluoride release was increased with time lapse. 3. After I day, the solubility was the highest, and after 7 days that was the least. 4. The lower was the pH of media, the more was the solubility, but there was no statistical difference in solubility according to the pH change.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the purification of chitin and chitosan for textile finishing agent from crab shell. Weight loss rate(removing Ca and protein), degree of deacetylation, solubility and MIC(Minimum growth inhibitory concentration) value of chitosan and molecular weight of the treated crab shell were measured. The results of this study were as follows : 1) Weight loss rate(removing Ca) of crab shell treated with HCI increased with the concentration of HCI and treatment time, but it became constant over 60 min. of treatment time. 2) Weight loss rate(removing protein) of crab shell treated with NaOH(0.5N∼2N) increased with the concentration of NaOH and treatment temperature and time, but it became constant above loot of temperature and over 200 min. of treatment time. 3) Degree of deacetylation of chitin treated with NaOH increased with the concentration of NaOH(40∼60％), but molecular weight decreased and thus MIC value increased. 4) Concentration of acetic acid should be above 0.3％ to dissolve chitosan easily. Solubility for chitosan was the highest with formic acid, and the next was acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, lactic acid and sulfuric acid in order.

Yogurt contains many microorganisms that are beneficial to human health, and is a probiotic that supplies many nutrients such as calcium and protein. It is difficult to safety preserve for a long time because it possesses a high content of water. To address this problem, powdered "instant" yogurt has been developed, but it has flaws low flowability and solubility. Therefore, yogurt was granulated using a fluidized bed granulator to increase flowability and solubility. The fluidized bed granulator was designed by using response surface methodology (RSM), whose variables were feeding rate (FR), atomization air pressure (AP) and product temperature (PT). After being granulated, the yogurt was analyzed for yield and lactic acid bacteria count. The maximum yield of yogurt granules was 79.42%, at FR of 0.54 mL/min, AP of 2.64 kPa, and PT of $58.18^{\circ}C$, and the colony count for lactic acid bacteria was more than $6log^{10}\;CFU/g$. Therefore, spherical granulation of yogurt using a fluidized bed granulator could be used for making convenient probiotic products with improved flowability and solubility.
