For dolomite clinkers used as stamp materials, the corrostion behavior of those by slag was inverstigated between 1550$^{\circ}C$ and 1650$^{\circ}C$. Fe2O3 among slag components was selectively penetrated into the grain boundaries of dolomite clinkers. In hot face, the magnesioferrite was preferentially formed by Fe2O3 component contained in dolomite clinker rather than Fe2O3 of slag. The corrosion steps of dolomite clinkers by slag were found as follows ; (1) The dicalciumferrite was formed by the reaction of the calcia within dolomite clinkers with Fe2O3 of slag. (2) The magnesia within dolomite clinkers reacted with the dicalciumferrite to from magnesioferrite and the residual calcia within dolomite clinkers reacted with the dicalciumferrite to form magnesioferrite and the residual calcia was dissolved into slag. (3) The magnesioferrite was corroded by CaO-SiO2 compounds of slag. With the temperature of slag increased, the magnesioferrite layer in hot face was decreased for dolomite clinker without Fe2O3 while the layer thickness and grain sizes of magnesioferrite was increased for dolomite clinker with Fe2O3.

This study was conducted to research the formation, color development and application for colored glazes of the spinel solid solutions of the green pigment. On specimens prepared by calcining the oxide and basic carbonate mixture at 1250℃ for 1.5 hour, the x-ray analysis, measurement of reflectance and the test of their stabiality as a glaze pigment were carried out. The results are summarized as follows 1) Each sample is composed of single spinel and not of mixture of spinel. 2) Formation of continuous soild solution, except for a few instances, pertaining to Vegard's law was confirmed by means of the x-ray analysis. 3) The more difference between absorption and reflectance lies, the lighter colors are. When the absorption occurs at the high-reflectance, the excitation purity becomes low. On the contrary when the absorption takes place at the low-reflectance, the excitation purity becomes low. On the contrary when the absorption takes place at the low-reflectance, the excitation purity is higher. 4) Colors obtained in the CdO-MgO-Cr2O3-Al2O3 system, as the amounts of Al3+ increased, change from green through brown to pink, and the absorption peak shifts towards violet region. 5) An increase in Co2+ in the CoO-MgO-Cr2O3-Al2O3 system, changes the color from blue green to dark blue. The excitation purity is higher, and the absorption peak shifts toward regions. 6) Colors are green in the NiO-MgO-Cr2O3 and CdO-MgO-Cr2O3 systems in general, but in the ZnO-MgO-Cr2O3 system brillant hue is not obtained. 70 According to the results of the colored glaze test, the spinels turn outto be stable as brilliant glaze pigment in the calcium-magnesia glaze.

Cordierite composed of an alumina-silica-magnesia compound has a low coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) and excellent thermal shock resistance. It also has a low dielectric constant and high electrical insulation. However, due to low mechanical strength, it is limited for use in a ceramic heater. In this study, $ZrO_2$ is added to an 80 wt% cordierite-20 wt% mullite composition, and the effect of $ZrO_2$ addition on the mechanical strength and thermal shock resistance is investigated. With an increasing addition of $ZrO_2$, cordierite-mullite formed $ZrO_2$, $ZrSiO_4$ and spinel phases. With sintering conducted at $1400^{\circ}C$ with the addition of 5 wt% $ZrO_2$ to 80 wt% cordierite-20 wt% mullite, the most dense microstructure forms along with an excellent mechanical strength with a 3-point flexural strength of 238MPa. When this composition is quenched in water at ${\Delta}T=400^{\circ}C$, the 3-point flexural strength is maintained. Moreover, when this composition is cooled from $800^{\circ}C$ to air, the 3-point flexural strength is maintained even after 100 cycles. In addition, the CTE is measured as $3.00{\times}10^{-6}{\cdot}K^{-1}$ at $1000^{\circ}C$. Therefore, 80 wt% cordierite-20 wt% mullite with 5 wt% $ZrO_2$ is considered to be appropriate as material for a ceramic heater.

A novel approach is presented to address issues associated with the use of strong acidic solutions for the leaching of magnesium oxide (MgO) from spent magnesia-carbon refractories. An ultrasonic flotation and separation process is employed, with a mildly acidic solvent, acetic acid, used to selectively chelate MgO from the spent refractories. When using 2 M acetic acid as a solvent, the recovery of the graphite exhibited 99.7 % with high purity of 72.7 %, showing a significant improvement compared to using water as the solvent. Furthermore, the technology presented in this study offers a method for producing magnesium acetate through the reaction of MgO in spent refractory with acetic acid, providing a means for the purification and separation of graphite.

It is known that small amount of MgO in excess is often added to develop pure perovskite single phase of PMN-based composite, however, extra MgO precipitates in grains and inhibits densification of PMN. In this study PMN-PT-BT (PBT) powder was prepared by a conventional mixed oxide method using $(MgCO_3)_4{\cdot}Mg(OH)_2{\cdot}5H_{2}O$ instead of MgO. The precursor was heated at $500^{\circ}C/1h$ and its surface was modified with MgO sol. This effect was investigated in the aspects of sintering and dielectric properties. Small amount of added MgO sol ($0.5{\sim}1.0wt\%$) enhanced sintering substantially below $1000^{\circ}C$. The PBT with $0.5wt\%$ MgO sol sintered at $900^{\circ}C/2h$ had density of $7.62\;g/cm^3$, room temperature dielectric constant of 14800, loss of dielectric constant of $1.1\%$, which were comparable to those of the PBT sintered at $1000^{\circ}C/2h$. It was noticeable that the extra MgO precipitated mostly on triple points and grain boundaries and resulted in inhibition of grain growth.

The effects aging on some properties and thermal-shock behavior of zirconia partially stabilized with 9 mol% MgO (9MZ) were studied. 9MZ specimens were aged over $1200^{\circ}$-$1400^{\circ}C$ for 12hours subsequently, after sintering at $1650^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. Fracture strength(both before and after thermal-shock test), linear thermal expansion, monoclinic fraction and phase transition by XRD, density, galvanic potential and microstructure were measured. Quantitative chemical analysis around the grain-boundary of the specimen aged at $1350^{\circ}C$ was also conducted by EDX. The aging of 9MZ specimen causes a thermal decomposition of cubic-$ZrO^{2}$ into the formation metastable tetragonal-$ZrO^{2}$ and MgO. The former increases the residual strength after thermal-shock test and the latter improves the thermal-shock resistance due to thermal conduction through the continuous magnesia phase and the formation of monoclinic phase content in matrix were increased with decreasing the aging temperature from $1400^{\circ}C$ to $1200^{\circ}C$. Galvanic potential of the aged specimen exhibited a proper emf characteristic.

Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of amendments such as lime and organic matter for mulberry trees on the newly reclaimed sandy loam soil for three years. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Compared to the N.P.K check plot with treatments, leaf yield was increased by 20 to 80%. Leaf yield was higher in the order of NPK+magnesia lime < NPK+compost > NK+fused phosphate NPK+green manure > NPK+barley straw> NPKplot. 2. Mulberry leaf yield showed high significant positive correlation with total weight and volume of root, length and number of wattles and the content of CaO or MgO in leaf respectively. 3. It is known that dead part sympom of top branch during cold season is associated with unbalance magnesium to potassium in mulberry leaf. It is estimated that such symptom was deminished when the ratio of $K_2O/MgO$ in leaf becomes 6.0 or higher. 4. In establishing a mulberry field on hilly reclaimed soil, application of magnesium and calcium with compost was essential but higher amount of potassium fertilizer should be followed in order to prevent dead part symptom of top branch of mulberry trees.

The electrolytic reduction of uranium oxide in a LiCl-Li$_{2}$O molten salt system has been studied in a 10 g U$_{3}$O$_{8}$ /batch-scale experimental apparatus with an integrated cathode assembly at 650$^{\circ}C$. The integrated cathode assembly consists of an electric conductor, the uranium oxide to be reduced and the membrane for loading the uranium oxide. From the cyclic voltammograms for the LiCl-3 wt$\%$ Li$_{2}$O system and the U$_{3}$O$_{8}$-LiCl-3 wt$\%$ Li$_{2}$O system according to the materials of the membrane in the cathode assembly, the mechanisms of the predominant reduction reactions in the electrolytic reactor cell were to be understood; direct and indirect electrolytic reduction of uranium oxide. Direct and indirect electrolytic reductions have been performed with the integrated cathode assembly. Using the 325-mesh stainless steel screen the uranium oxide failed to be reduced to uranium metal by a direct and indirect electrolytic reduction because of a low current efficiency and with the porous magnesia membrane the uranium oxide was reduced successfully to uranium metal by an indirect electrolytic reduction because of a high current efficiency.

Statement of problem: There has been a eat interest in the use of titanium for fixed and removable prostheses in recent because of its excellent biocompatibility. However, the melting temperature and chemical reactivity of titanium necessities casting system different from those used in conventional casting. The current titanium casting systems are based on an electric-arc design for melting the metal in an argon atmosphere and its exclusive investment. Despite the new development in Ti casting system, inadequate mold filling and internal porosity are frequently observed casting defects. Purpose : The purposes of this study were to compare the castibility and reaction layer of the casting titanium under the two casting machines and their investment condition. Material and method: coping and machine-milled titanium coping according to the casting methods and the marginal configurations. The total 28 specimens were used, and these are divided into 4 groups according to 2 casting machines and 2 investments. The castings were analyzed using x-ray microanalysis and microhardness testing. The reaction layer between margin of titanium casting and the investments was observed and analyzed with scanning electron microscope. Result: 1. Castabiliy of casting titanium specimen was best in the group of centrifugal casting machine and Selevest $CB^{\circledR}$ and good that of Selevest CB and pressure differential casting machine, Rematitan plus and centrifugal casting machine, Rematitan plus and pressure differential casting machine in order. 2. There was no significanct correlation in titanium castability in respect of casting machine. However ANOVA indicated that Selevest $CB^{\circledR}$ groups had significantly better castability than Rematitan $plus^{\circledR}$ groups.(p<0.05) 3. There was a significant microhardness difference between centrifugal casting machine groups and pressure differential groups.(p<0.05) Titanium castings in centifugal groups had significantly harder than those in pressure differential groups. 4. The addition of zirconia decreased interfacial reactivity. Conclusion: above result revealed that of the castability of titanium casting specimens had little correlation in casting machines and was better in magnesia-based investment contained ZrO2 groups. However in order to practice casting titanium in clininic, its castability should be improved, also there should be more research on factor of castability so that long-span prothesis and removable partial denture metla frame may be casted completly.
