$Pd/TiO_2$ catalysts for aerobic benzyl alcohol oxidation were synthesized and eight different room temperature ionic liquids were used to control the palladium properties as active sites. $Pd/TiO_2$ particles were also calcined at 300, 400 and $500^{\circ}C$ to obtain an optimum catalyst. As the calcination temperature increased, the surface area and pore volume of catalyst decreased, but negligible changes were observed for the pore size of catalyst. However, the structural properties of catalyst varied with respect to the type of ionic liquids. Under identical reaction conditions, different catalytic activities were obtained depending upon the calcination temperature and type of ionic liquids. Mostly, the catalyst calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ showed higher catalytic activity than those at other temperatures. However, the catalyst prepared with 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate showed good catalytic performance after calcination at $300^{\circ}C$. Among the catalyst, $Pd/TiO_2$ prepared with 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate and calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ showed the highest catalytic activity.

The spinel structured $LiMn_2O_4$ was prepared from $Li_2CO_3$ and $MnO_2$ by calcination at various temperatures in the range of $750{\sim}900^{\circ}C$. It was found that the most suitable cubic structure of $LiMn_2O_4$ was obtained by heating at $850^{\circ}C$ for 12 hrs. However, in the calcination at $900^{\circ}C$, $Mn^{4+}$ of 0.06M was changed to $Mn^{+3}$ by the oxygen loss, so that it has been shown that the formula has changed to $LiMn_2O_{3.97}$. This phenomena were in agreement with the Jahn-Teller distortion by the increment of $Mn^{+3}$ ion on the octahedral sites of the spinel structured $LiMn_2O_4$. The results showed that after 15 charge/discharge cycles in the voltage range from 3.5V to 4.3V versus Li/$Li^+$ with a current density of $0.25mA/cm^2$, the spinel structured $LiMn_2O_4$ that was prepared at $900^{\circ}C$ showed a lower discharge capacity, 82~50 mAh/g, while the $LiMn_2O_4$, prepared at $850^{\circ}C$, showed the discharge capacity of 102~64 mAh/g.

In Korea, low-quality kaolin has significantly greater reserves and superior economic efficiency than high-purity kaolin. However, the utilization is low because it does not match the demand conditions of the market, and it is difficult to find a suitable source of demand. The purpose of this study is to derive the possibility and optimal calcination temperature of domestic low-quality kaolin that can be used as a raw material for limestone plastic clay cement (LC³). Isothermal calorimetry, X-ray diffraction analysis, Thermogravimetric Analysis, and compressive strength tests were conducted to evaluate hydrate generation and mechanical properties of LC³ paste according to calcination temperatures (600 ℃, 700 ℃, 800 ℃, 900 ℃). As a result, although 50 % of the clinker was replaced, the domestic low-quality kaolin clay produced calboaluminate hydrate and C(A)SH from the 3rd day of hydration, showing almost equal or higher strength to OPC, and there was a big difference in strength depending on the firing temperature.

The catalytic activity of transition metals (Cu, Co, Mn, Fe and Ni) supported on ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ for the oxidation of toluene was investigated in the microreactor of fixed-bed type. The catalytic activity of transition metals for the oxidation of toluene turned out to be increasing in the order of Ni$Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts for the oxidation of toluene increased with the increasing loadings of copper, reached the maximum activity at 5% loadings of copper, and decreased with higher loadings of copper in the catalysts. The activity of $Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts for the oxidation of toluene decreased with the increasing calcination temperatures. This might result from the decreasing surface area of catalysts due to the sintering of copper oxide as well as ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ supports. The 5wt% $Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs in the air showed the highest activity for the oxidation of toluene. Mutual inhibition was observed for the binary mixture of toluene and xylene. The activity of the easy-to-oxidize toluene was greatly decreased while the difficult-to-oxidize xylene was slightly decreased in the binary mixture of toluene and xylene. It might suggest that the inhibition of toluene and xylene in the binary mixture resulted from the competitive adsorption for the adsorbed oxygen on the catalytic surface.

Factor analysis was applied to X-ray diffraction patterns of the precursor of $BaTiO_3$. For that purpose, the precursor was synthesized in water solvent system using $Ba(NO_3)_2$ and $TiO(NO_3)_2$ as the starting materials and calcined at various temperatures. The samples obtained from the various calcined temperatures were analyzed by the X-ray diffractometer. Factor analysis was applied to the intensity data of the X-ray diffraction patterns. As the results, three factors were found and they were found to be $BaCO_3$, $BaTiO_3$ and $Ba_2TiO_4$. The relative concentrations of the three components were estimated during calcination.

Natural hydraulic lime (NHL) is produced by burning a form of low-grade limestone containing silica and alumina which, above certain temperatures, combine with calcium oxide. The resulting silicates and aluminates impart hydraulic properties to the product. This study aims to determine the calcined characteristics of NHL using domestic low-grade limestone with maximized hydraulic properties. Six types of low-grade limestone containing $SiO_2$ were selected and experiments were carried out with different burning temperatures and holding times. The burning temperature and holding time as the most suitable burning conditions were $1,200^{\circ}C$ to $1,300^{\circ}C$ and 3 to 7 h, respectively, for the manufacturing of NHL from domestic low-grade limestone. These results demonstrate the feasibility of NHL using domestic low-grade limestone to produce NHL.

$TiO_2$- and $SiO_2$-supported $Co_3O_4$, Pt and $Co_3O_4$-Pt catalysts have been studied for CO and $C_3H_8$ oxidations at temperatures less than $250^{\circ}C$ which is a lower limit of light-off temperatures to oxidize them during emission test cycles of gasoline-fueled automotives with TWCs (three-way catalytic converters) consisting mainly of Pt, Pd and Rh. All the catalysts after appropriate activation such as calcination at $350^{\circ}C$ and reduction at $400^{\circ}C$ exhibited significant dependence on both their preparation techniques and supports upon CO oxidation at chosen temperatures. A Pt/$TiO_2$ catalyst prepared by using an ion-exchange method (IE) has much better activity for such CO oxidation because of smaller Pt nanoparticles, compared to a supported Pt obtained via an incipient wetness (IW). Supported $Co_3O_4$-only catalysts are very active for CO oxidation even at $100^{\circ}C$, but the use of $TiO_2$ as a support and the IW technique give the best performances. These effects on supports and preparation methods were indicated for $Co_3O_4$-Pt catalysts. Based on activity profiles of CO oxidation at $100^{\circ}C$ over a physical mixture of supported Pt and $Co_3O_4$ after activation under different conditions, and typical light-off temperatures of CO and unburned hydrocarbons in common TWCs as tested for $C_3H_8$ oxidation at $250^{\circ}C$ with a Pt-exchanged $SiO_2$ catalyst, this study may offer an useful approach to substitute $Co_3O_4$ for a part of platinum group metals, particularly Pt, thereby lowering the usage of the precious metals.

Mesoporous carbons with tailored pore size were prepared by using sucrose as the carbon source and silicas as the templates. The silica templates were obtained from a hydroxypropyl-${\beta}$-cyclodextrin-silica hybrids using ammonium perchlorate oxidation at different temperatures to remove the organic matter. The structures and surface chemistry properties of these carbon materials were characterized by $N_2$ adsorption, TEM, SEM and FTIR measurements. The catalytic performances of these carbon materials were investigated through the reduction of nitroaromatic using hydrazine hydrate as the reducing agent. Compared with other carbon materials, such as active carbon, and carbon materials from the silica templates obtained by using calcination to remove the organic matter, these carbon materials exhibited much higher catalytic activity, no obvious deactivation was observed after recycling the catalyst four times. Higher surface area and pore volume, and the presence of abundant surface oxygen-containing functional groups, which originate from the special preparation process of carbon material, are likely responsible for the high catalytic property of these mesoporous carbon materials.

The morphology of lead titanate powders prepared by sol-gel and coprecipitation techniques was investigated as a function of firing temperature and soaking time. PbTiO3 precursor powders were derived from a mixed solution of lead nitrate and titanium tetrachloride at 40℃ to 43℃ and pH of 9.0 to 9.7, and fired at temperatures 350-1000℃ for 1-10h in air. An increase of particle size and agglomeration with increasing calcination temperature and duration could be observed. By annealing sol-gel derived powder at 700℃, the tially-formed acicular(and/or prismatic) primary particles transformed to polyhedral shape with soaking time, and further soaking caused coarsening the polyhedral particles with rounded edges. However, the morphology of the coprecipitated powders was not varied during crystallization.

Microwave dielectric properties of $ZnWO_4$ ceramic were investigated with calcination and sintering temperatures. The dielectric properties required for such application are high dielectric constant$(\varepsilon_r)$, high $Q{\times}f_o$ value and low temperature coefficient of resonant frequency$(\tau_f)$. These requirement correspond to necessities for size reduction, excellent frequency selectivity, good temperature stability of devices. $ZnWO_4$ ceramics could be sintered at low $1075^{\circ}C$, which was comparatively low temperature for microwave dielectrics. As a result, $ZnWO_4$ showed the dielectric constant of 13, quality factor($Q{\times}f_o$ value) of 22000 and 'temperature coefficient of resonant frequency$(\tau_f)$ of $-65{\pm}5ppm/^{\circ}C$.
