This study examined the compressive strength development and pH values of alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate(${\alpha}-CH$)-based binders developed for vegetation concrete with neutral pH between 6~7. Considering cost down and strength enhancement of the prepared binders, the ${\alpha}-CH$ was partially replaced by ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBS), fly ash(FA), or ordinary Portland cement(OPC) by 25% and 50%. The compressive strength of mortars using 100% ${\alpha}-CH$ was 50% lower than that of 100% OPC mortars. With the increase of the replacement level of GGBS or FA, the compressive strength of ${\alpha}-CH$-based mortars tended to decrease, whereas the pH values were maintained to be 6.5~7.5. The main hydration products of ${\alpha}-CH$-based binders with GGBS or FA were a gypsum($CaSO_4$), whereas portlandite($Ca(OH)_2$) was not observed in such binders. Meanwhile, the pH values of ${\alpha}-CH$-based binders with OPC exceeded 11.5 due to the formation of $Ca(OH)_2$ phase as a hydration product. From the thermogravimetric analysis, the amount of $Ca(OH)_2$ in ${\alpha}-CH$-based binders with OPC was evaluated to be approximately 10% of the cement content.

Microorganisms from the waste water of starch industry, were isolated and a strain, Y-124, possessing a powerful enzymic activity was selected and identified as a member of the genus Bacillus. The ideal cultural condition for the formation of $\alpha$-amylase form Bacillus Y-124 and its preservation was investigated in connection with the biotechnological and industrial approach to the bulk enzyme production. High yield of $\alpha$-amylase was observed in medium containing casein as well as calcium pantothenate in this work. Calcium ions were found to have an effect in forming this particular enzyme. Ammonium phosphate dibasic was an important inorganic nitrogen source for the formation of $\alpha$-amylase. And preservation of this enzyme was greatly affected by calcium or sodium salts. The addition of calcium carbonate or sodium sulfate presented the most effective result for the prevention of its denaturation to various factors. The above data was obtained with crude enzyme preparation.

In order to improve the storage ability of Spur Red Delicious apple, calcium ingredients were applied to the apple tree during the growing period, and then the effects of calcium on appearances and respiratory activity of harvest apples were investigated during the storage period. The results of this work were summarized as follows: 1. The freshness of apples treated by calcium compounds reached $73{\sim}78%$, but that of control group was 68% by March of next year. 2. The respiratory rate of the apples that had been applied the high concentration of ammonium sulfate in field during the growing period, was accelerated rather than control group, and that of calcium treatment groups was continuously inhibited during the storage period. 3. The direct foliar application of calcium compounds in the field was more effective than dipping apples in calcium chloride solution for better quality and improving storage ability after harvest. 4. The freshness and hardness relatively not much decreased in calcium treatment groups even after 5 month storage.

This experiment was performed to develop the new desulfurization process which can eliminate the possibility of generation of the secondary pollutants by regenerating the limestone from the sulfite/sulfate slurry generated from the wet lime/limestone flue gas desulfurization process by treating it with the ammonium hydroxide and carbon dioxide and using it again. In the experiments, regent grade calcium carbonate was dissolved to obtain the 200ml of sample slurry of the concentration of 2.0~0.4 weight percent. After three times of regeneration and desulfurization process, the coefficients of regeneration and desulfurization efficiencies are calculated/measured. The obtained results are that the coefficients of generation of the first. second, and third regenerated calcium carbonate were 90.88, 92.13, and 91.50%, respectively; and the desulfurization efficiencies of those are 93.4, 94.2 and 93.0%, respectively.

Saesongi (Pleurotus eryngii) was cultivated in both potato dextrose agar (PDA) and sawdust media supplemented with Ca salts. The addition of Ca phosphate and Ca carbonate to sawdust media did not affect the growth, whereas Ca sulfate addition suppressed the mycelial growth appreciably. The efficiencies of Ca accumulation in the fruiting were studied based on mycelial growth experiments on Ca-supplemented sawdust media. Supplementation with 0.1 to 5% Ca phosphate increased the Ca content in the fruiting body by 4.5-6.5 fold, to a level of $314.6{\pm}22.7$ to $449.7{\pm}29.3$.

Simulations were conducted to predict supersaturation along Reverse Osmosis (RO) modules for seawater desalination. The modeling approach is based on the use of conservation principles and chemical equilibria equations along RO modules. Full Pitzer ion interactive forces model for concentrated solutions was implement to calculate activity coefficients. An average rejection rate for all ionic species was considered. Supersaturation has been used to assess scaling. Supersaturations with respect to all calcium carbonate forms and calcium sulfate were calculated up to 50% recovery rate in seawater RO desalination. The results for four different seawater qualities are shown. The predictions were in a good agreement with the experimental results.

Toothash and Plaster of Paris(Calcium sulfate) mixture have been studied for development of new biomaterial since 1992. I have performed the experimental and clinical study for evaluation of biocompatibility and possibility of bony defect reconstruction and clinical application. These materials are biocompatible, osteoconductive and resorbable. Main component of toothash is hydroxylapatite. In the future, I will perform the systematic construction of material and additional research.
