The indoor air quality of modern people who work indoors more than 80 percent a day has also become a very important factor in their lives. But most indoor air quality is highly polluted due to energy conservation and lack of ventilation. This can lead to pneumonia, asthma and even lung cancer, which can be fatal to children, the elderly and the elderly. Indoor pollutants are caused by boards, wallpaper, paint, etc. used in interior By producing indoor finishing materials using active alumina gel, which is used as dehumidifier, indoor pollutants will be reduced and the possibility of developing respiratory diseases and lung cancer will be reduced.

Dispersant was used to avoid the agglomeration of aluminum hydrate precipitate and improve the sinterability of calcined alumina powder. The mean particle size of the aluminum hydrate precipitates was 0.26${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 0.44${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ when ball-milled with and without dispersant, respectively. After calcination at 110$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours, the size of the alumina powder without dispersant increased to 0.84${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, while with dispersant slightly decreased to 0.22${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The most thermally active alumina powder was obtained from the sample calcined at 110$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours with the 1% dispersant concentration. Using the calcined alumina powder at the above optimized condition, the specimen showed fired density of 3.94g/㎤, 4-point MOR of 364MPa, and KIC of 3.26MPam1/2 after sintered at 155$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours.

A simple and reproducible pretreatment method was developed for the determination of dioxins in milk sample. Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was used for the initial extraction of the analyte from milk. For the elimination of interferences coextracted from milk, acid treatment followed by multilayer silica gel, and then alumina column clean-up were performed. The clean extract could be obtained without carbon column or high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) clean-up procedure. Polychlorinated biphenyles (PCBs) and dioxins were separated on neutral alumina activated at 180 ℃ for 12 hours. The final extract was analyzed by HPLC and high resolution gas chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS). The recovery of dioxins spiked in milk at 75-300 ppt level was 83.3-98.9% and their relative standard deviation was 4.1-14%.

A water soluble antifungal antibiotic, Solumycin, was separated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. LAM-593, isolated from soil, by butanol extraction, alumina-, 1st and 2nd Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. The substance was pale yellow crystal which gave a single spot at Rf value 0.24 with ethanol-ammonia water-water (8:1:1), 0.46 with butanol-ethanol-water (5:1:4), 0.84 with 50% methanol on silica gel TLC. It was dissolved well in water, methanol and acidic aq. butanol but not in ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, chloroform. acetic acid etc., and gave positive Fehling and Molish reaction. The UV spectrum in methanol showed absorption at 342, 361, 380, and 404 nm. The antibiotic was active against fungi such as Candide, Cryptococcus, Saccharomyces, Trichophyton and Trichosporon, but not to bacteria such as Bacillus, Escherichia and Staphylococcus.

The extraction and separation methods of protein-bound polysaccharides from the mycelium and culture broth of L. edodes were investigated. The use 2% solution of surface active agent, Triton X-100 was effective for extraction of the protein-bound polysaccharide from the mycelium. The extraction of the protein-bound polysaccharides from mycelium with hot water was achieved by 4 hours extraction at 10$0^{\circ}C$. For the separation and partial purification of the protein bound polysaccharides the column chromatography using DEAE-Cellulose, DEAE-Sephadex and Sephadex proved to be effective.

$Co_3O_4$, $Al_2O_3$ and $Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$ mesoporous powders were prepared by a sol-gel method with starting matierals of aluminum isopropoxide and cobalt (II) nitrate. A P123 template is employed as an active organic additive for improving the specific surface area of the mixed oxide by forming surfactant micelles. A transition metal cobalt oxide supported on alumina with and without P123 was tested to find the most active and selective conditions as a heterogeneous catalyst in the reaction of styrene epoxidation. A bBlock copolymer-P123 template was added to the staring materials to control physical and chemical properties. The properties of $Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$ powder with and without P123 were characterized using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), a Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), a Bruner-Emmertt-Teller (BET) surface analyzer, and $^{27}Al$ MAS NMR spectroscopy. Powders with and without P123 were compared in catalytic tests. The catalytic activity and selectivity were monitored by GC/MS, $^1H$, and $^{13}C$-NMR spectroscopy. The performance for the reaction of epoxidation of styrene was observed to be in the following order: [$Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$ with P123-1173 K > $Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$ with P123-973 K > $Co_3O_4$-973 K>$Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$-973 K > $Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$ with P123-1473 K > $Al_2O_3$-973 K]. The existence of ${\gamma}$-alumina and the nature of the surface morphology are related to catalytic activity.

$V_{0.9}Sb_{0.1}O_x$ systems, bulk and deposited on different supports (five types of $\gamma$-aluminas, $\alpha$-alumina, silica-alumina, silica gel, magnesium oxide), have been tested in the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of iso-butane. Catalytic performance of VSb oxides has shown to be highly dependent on the support and the nature of the support decreasing in a series: $\gamma$-$Al_2O_3$ > $\alpha$-$Al_2O_3$ > Si-Al-O > $SiO_2$ $\approx$ MgO $\gg$ unsupported. Variation of the V-Sb-O-loading in the studied range of coverage (0.5-2 theoretical monolayer) only slightly influences the catalysts' activity and selectivity. The best catalytic performance of $\gamma$-alumina-supported $V_{0.9}Sb_{0.1}O_x$ systems can be explained by the optimal surface interaction between support and supported components resulting in the formation of well-spread amorphous active $VO_x$-component with vanadium in a high oxidation state.

Zeolite was synthesized hydrothermally using the water-treatment sludge, and the effects of various synthesis parameters like reaction temperature, reaction time, and Na2O/SiO2 molar ratio on the crystallization of zeolite were investigated. Crystal structure, physical property, and thermal stability of zeolite crystals were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, BET nitrogen adsorption, and TGA measurements. The removal efficiencies of nitrogen in ammonia, heavy metal ions, and TOC were calculated to evaluate zeolite's adsorption capacity. The primary chemical composition of water-treatment sludge was 28.79% Al2O3 and 27.06% SiO2. The zeolites were synthesized by merely employing the water-treatment sludge as silica and alumina sources without additional chemicals. Zeolite crystals synthesized through the water-treatment sludge were confirmed as an A-type zeolite structure. Zeolite A had the highest crystallinity obtained from a gel with the molar composition 2.1Na2O-Al2O3-1.6SiO2-65H2O after 5 h at a temperature of 90 ℃. The specific surface area of zeolite obtained was 55 ㎡ g-1, which was higher than commercial zeolite A. The removal efficiency of nitrogen in ammonia was 68% after 3 h of reaction time, while the removal efficiencies of Pb2+ and Cd2+ ions were 99.1% and 99.3%, respectively. These results indicate active ion exchange between Pb2+ or Cd2+ ion and Na+ ion in the zeolite framework. The adsorption experiments on the different zeolite addition conditions were performed for 3 h with 300 ppm humic acid. Based on the results, TOC's highest efficiency was 83% when 5 g of zeolite was added.
