In textile industries, waste effluent containing zinc is generated during the manufacture of rayon yarn from the wood pulp or cotton linters. Due to the strict environmental regulations and the presence of toxic metallic and other constituents, the discharge of industrial effluents in the sewage or disposal of solid sludge as landfill is restricted. Before recycling of zinc as zinc sulphate solution to the spinning-bath of the rayon manufacturing plant the zinc sulphate solution must be free from calcium, which is deleterious to the process as gypsum precipitates with the increase in concentration and forms scale in the bath. In the present work an attempt has been made to develop a process following solvent extraction technique using thiophosphinic extractants, Cyanex 272 and 302 modified with isodecanol and diluted in kerosene to recover zinc from rayon effluent. Various process parameters viz. extraction of zinc from different concentration of solution, distribution ratio, selective extraction, O/A ratio on extraction and stripping from the loaded organic, complex formation in the organic phase etc. have been studied to see the feasibility of the process. The extractant Cyanex 302 has been found selective for the recovery of 99.99% of zinc from the effluent above equilibrium pH 3.4 maintaining the O/A ratio of 1/30 leaving all the calcium in the raffinate. It selectively extracted zinc in the form of complex $[R_{2}Zn.3RH]_{org}$ and retained all the calcium in the aqueous raffinate. The zinc from the loaded Cyanex 302 can be stripped with 10% sulphuric acid at even O/A ratio of 10 without affecting the stripping efficiency. The stripped solution thus obtained could be recycled in the spinning bath of the rayon plant. The raffinate obtained after the recovery of zinc could be disposed safely without affacting environment.

The determination of fluoride and the nutritious calcium in infusion of teas are explained. Tea leaves were pulverized and were immersed in boiling water. The solution was filtered and fluoride, calcium and oxalic acid were determined by the ion chromatography. The quantities of fluoride, calcium and oxalate ions extracted from 100 g of tea leaves were calculated. Tea leaves were also immersed in 0.5 M hydrochloric acid and extracted oxalate and calcium ions were analyzed. The free oxalic acid and calcium were extracted in boiling water and the total ones were extracted in hydrochloric acid. The quantity of calcium oxalate was calculated from the total and the free oxalic acids. The free calcium was estimated to be nutritious.

As a part of basic investigation for utilizing of cuttle bone as a calcium source, we examined on the extraction methods (calcining at $800^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs, autoclaving at $121^{\circ}C$ for 10 hrs and ultrasonic treatments at $60^{\circ}C$ for 10 hrs) as a pretreatment methods for preparation of calcium-based powder from cuttle bone, The color of calcined calcium-based powder from cuttle bone was white, while that treated by other methods was light yellow. The calcium content in calcined calcium-based powder was $70.5\%$, and revealed high about 2 times compared to those pretreated by other methods. And, calcium solubility in calcined calcium-based powder was improved 22 times compared to raw cuttle bone powder, Among calcining, autoclaving and ultrasonic treatments as a pretreaoent methods for preparation of calcium-based powder from cuttle bone, calcining treatment was superior to other methods on the aspect of color, calcium solubility and purity of calcium-based powder, Judging from X-ray diffraction pattern of calcined calcium-based powder, most of calcium was present as a form of calcium oxide, But, pH of calcined calcium-based powder revealed strong alkali of pH 12.9. This pH value might invoke health risk in using food resource. Therefore, for utilization effectively calcined calcium-based powder from cuttle bone, it requires a suitable treatment such as adjustment of pH to neutral condition.

Mineral carbonation is a technology in which carbonates are synthesized from minerals including serpentine and olivine, and industrial wastes such as slag and cement, of which all contain calcium or magnesium when reacted with carbon dioxide. This study aims to develop the mineral carbonation technology for commercialization, which can reduce environmental burden and process cost through the reduction of carbon dioxide using steel slag and the slag reuse after calcium extraction. Calcium extraction was conducted using NH4Cl solution for air-cooled slag and convert slag, and ${\geq}98%$ purity calcium carbonate was synthesized by reaction with calcium-extracted solution and carbon dioxide. And we conducted experimentally to minimize the quantity of by-product, the slag residue after calcium extraction, which has occupied large amount of weight ratio (about 80-90%) at the point of mineral carbonation process using slag. The slag residue was used to replace silica sand in the manufacture of cement panel, and physical properties including compressive strength and flexible strength of panel using the slag residue and normal cement panel, respectively, were analyzed. The calcium concentration in extraction solution was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES). Field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) was also used to identify the surface morphology of calcium carbonate, and XRD was used to analyze the crystallinity and the quantitative analysis of calcium carbonate. In addition, the cement panel evaluation was carried out according to KS L ISO 679, and the compressive strength and flexural strength of the panels were measured.

In an attempt to evaluate the effects of calcium on paste or gelatinization properties by amylograph and mixing properties by farinograph of wheat flour and on viscosity property cooking quality textural and sensory properties of Ramyon were examined. The contents of calcium used were from 1.0% to 3.0% based on flour weight. The viscosity property of wheat flour with calcium was increased the initial past-ing temperature but the amylograph peak viscosity were decreased in vice versa. The farinograph absorp-tion stability and breakdown were increased by calcium. The shear extrusion force and hardness of Ram-yon manufactured with calcium were shown much higher value than those of control. At cooking quality examination of Ramyon manufactured with calcium weight of cooked Ramyon was increased by volume was decreased. Extraction amounts of Ramyon manufactured with calcium during cooking were much smaller than those of control. These changes will provided many advantages in the preparation of Ram-yon. The I2 reaction value of Ramyon manufactured with calcium and control were shown to almost same values. Sensory properties of cooked Ramyon which was manufactured with calcium showed quite acceptable. Based on the cooking and sensory evaluation test addition of 0.3% calcim to wheat flour may be suitable for processing Ramyon.

A study on the remediation of heavily for ion contaminated soils from abandoned iron mine was carried out, using ex-situ extraction process. Also, oxalic acid as a complex agent was evaluated as a function of concentration, reaction time and mixing ratio of washing agent in order to evaluate Fe removability of the soil contaminated from the abandoned iron mine. Oxalic acid showed a better extraction performance than 0.1N-HCl, i.e., the concentrations of Fe ion extracted from the abandoned mine for the former at uncontrolled pH and the latter were 1,750 ppm and 1,079 ppm, respectively. The optimum washing condition of oxalic acid was in the ratio of 1:5 and 1:10 between soil and acid solution during l hr reaction. The total concentrations of Fe ion by oxalic acid and EDTA at three repeated extraction, were 4,554 ppm and 864 ppm, respectively. The recovery of Fe ions from washing solution was achieved, forming hydroxide precipitation and metal sulfide under excess of calcium hydroxide and sodium sulfide. In addition, the amounted of sodium sulfide and calcium hydroxide for the optimal revovery of Fe were 15g/$\ell$ and 5g/$\ell$ from the oxalic acid complexes, respectively.

The present study examined effects of caffeine on coronary circulation myocardial oxygen me-tabolism and calcium release in isolated perfused guinea pig hearts. Intracoronary caffeine({{{{ {10 }^{-5 } }}}}∼{{{{ { 10}^{-3 } }}}}M) was employed for 10 minutes to measure coronary perfusate flow(CF) and coronary vascular sresistance(CVR) at a constant coronary perfusion pressure of 80 cmH2O Perfusate myocardial oxygen consumption(MVO2) and percent oxygen extraction(%EC2) were calcula-ted. In addition calcium contents in both perfusate samples were measured to calculate calcium release in coronary venous effluent. Caffeine significantly decreased CF and increased CVR during 10 minutes of caffeine perfusion regardless of dose of caffeine perfused exhibiting time-response. While % EO2 was significantly enhanced with caffeine MVO2 was markedly reduced. The coronary venous perfusate pH dcreased during the perfusion with caffeine. These changes were consistent with caffeine-induced metabolic acidosis. Calcium release appeared to be dose-dependent and high dose of caffeine greatly increased venous calcium release even 2 minutes after perfusion with carffeine. These finding in dicate that caffeine produced coronary vasoconst-riction with increased calcium release in isolated perfused guinea pig hearts. Additionaly this vasoconstrictor response mignt be due tin part to the direct actions of caffeine.

As a part of investigation for utilizing of canned tuna processing by-products as a food resource, we examined the processing conditions and characteristics (extraction methods and ashing condition) of a calcium powder from skipjack tuna bone. Among ashing, autoclaving, and shaking methods for extraction of calcium powder from skipjack tuna bone, ashing method was superior to other methods on the aspect of fish odor, white index, and calcium recovery of calcium powder. Based on the results of white index and soluble calcium ratio, the optimal ashing temperature and time for preparation of a calcium powder from skipjack tuna bone was at $900{\circ}C for 15 min$. Cohesive ratio of calcium powder by shaking at pH 7.0 was increased up to 16 hrs, but after that almost unchanged. Cohesive ratio of calcium powder by shaking for 24 hrs was increased at neutral and alkaline conditions (pH 6-8 and pH 9-11), but almost unchanged at acidic conditions (pH 2-5). For the effective utilization of the calcium powder from skipjack tuna bone, a suitable treatment is needed for improvement of calcium solubility at neutral condition.

As a part of investigation for utilizing seafood processing by-products as a functional food source, we investigated the processing condition (extraction methods and autoclaving time) of a functional calcium-based powder from fish bones and its characteristics. The calcium-based powder from Alaska pollack bone by autoclaving in water showed lower in the calcium content and higher in the yields and the soluble calcium ratio than those from fish bone by the other calcium extraction methods. As the autoclaving time elapsed up to 40 min, the content and soluble ratio of calcium increased, and the yield decreased. On the other hand, there were no difference found in those among calcium-based powders autoclaved for 40 min and over. Judging from the results, the calcium-based powder from Alaska pollack autoclaved in water for 40 min (CAP) was superior to those from fish bone by the other processing condition. The CAP was mostly solublized by shaking $(37^{\circ}C)$ for 1 hr at the acidic condition (pH 2.0). The soluble calcium ratio of acid-solublized CAP was about 59% by shaking $(37^{\circ}C)$ for 3 hr and over at the neutral condition (pH 7.0).

In this study, optimum extraction conditions for phosphorus recovery from sewage sludge ash(SSA) were investigated. For this purpose, an experiment was conducted to determine optimal recovery conditions for Ca-P type phosphorus by using calcium component in the recycled aggregate residue. The phosphorus content of sewage sludge ash was confirmed to be 5.0 %. When $H_2SO_4$ was used as an extract, concentration of 1 N $H_2SO_4$, L/S ratio of 10, and extraction time of 30 min were found to be the optimal extraction conditions. Phosphorus was extracted by using optimal extraction conditions, and then the heavy metals eluted with phosphorus were removed using 1~20 g of cation exchange resin. In 20 g of cation exchange resin, Fe 71.3%, Cu 82.4%, Zn 79.9%, and Cr 15% were removed. After that, the mixing ratio of the calcium extract obtained from the recycled aggregate residue (RAR) was changed to 1:1, 1:5, 1:10. The pH of the SSA to RAR mixture was adjusted to 2, 4, 8 and 12 by the addition of 5 N NaOH to the mixture of 1:5, and the phosphorus was recovered as Ca-P type precipitate. The optimum pH was 8. When recycled aggregate residues were used, the weight of calcium phosphate increased, but the amount of wastewater generated also increased. Therefore, it was concluded that the use of recycled aggregate residue was not economically feasible.
