Flower-like nickel oxide (NiO) catalysts were coated on NiCrAl alloy foam using a hydrothermal method. The structural, morphological, and chemical bonding properties of the NiO catalysts coated on the NiCrAl alloy foam were investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. To obtain flower-like morphology of NiO catalysts on the NiCrAl alloy foam, we prepared three different levels of pH of the hydrothermal solution: pH-7.0, pH-10.0, and pH-11.5. The NiO morphology of the pH-7.0 and pH-10.0 samples exhibited a large size plate owing to the slow reaction of the hydroxide ($OH^-$) and nickel ions ($Ni^+$) in lower pH than pH-11.5. Flower-like NiO catalysts (${\sim}4.7{\mu}m-6.6{\mu}m$) were formed owing to the fast reaction of $OH^-$ and $Ni^{2+}$ by increased $OH^-$ concentration at high pH. Thus, the flower-like morphology of NiO catalysts on NiCrAl alloy foam depends strongly on the pH of the hydrothermal solution.

Nanoscale $YVO_4:Eu^{3+}$ phosphor has been synthesized by a mild hydrothermal reaction at various experimental conditions. The particle and luminescent properties of nanophosphors were characterized with X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and photoluminescence. It has been found that pH value play a key factor both controlling particle size and luminous efficiency.

High purity, submicron BaTiO3 powder was prepared by a hydrothermal technique using Ba(OH)2.8H2O, TiCl4 and NH4OH as starting raw materials. The submicron BaTiO3 powder was synthesized at 130~23$0^{\circ}C$ for 2.5h to yield highly crystalline particles with a narrow particle distribution. The mole ratio of Ba(OH)2.8H2O/TiO(OH)2 was 1.5. It is possible to obtain BaTiO3 with Ba : Ti=1.00$\pm$0/01. The samples densified well at 13$25^{\circ}C$, showing a uniform and fine grain structure. The grain size ranged between 0.3 and 0.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The products obtained by hydrothermal treatment at various temperatures from 130 to 23$0^{\circ}C$ were characterized by XRD, DTA, BET and SEM etc.

The effect of reaction parameters in the characteristic of $Pb(Zr_{0.52} Ti_{0.48})O_3$ powders by hydrothermal process was investigated in this study. In the preparation of PZT, the types of starting material and concentration of mineralizer on phase fraction and morphology was investigated respectively. Regardless the types of Pb precursor, PZT was able to synthesize ranging from 7 to 20 on KOH concentration and from 13.01 to 13.55 on pH of solution. The particle size of the PZT powders can be controlled by the mineralizer concentration and various types of precursor.

BaTiO$_3$ fine powders were synthesized by hydrothermal process from peroxo-coprecipitate precursors. The peroxo-coprecipitates were obtained by addition of the BaCl$_2$, TiCl$_4$, and $H_2O$$_2$ aqueous solution to an ammonium solution. Hydrothermal reaction was conducted at various reaction temperatures, times and pH ranges. Unlike the conventional hydrothermal synthesis which needs highly alkaline condition over pH 13 with KOH or NaOH, the present method offered well-developed crystalline (perovskite) BaTiO$_3$ powders synthesized below pH 12 with use of ammonium solution. It was found that the phase-pure fine powders were formed at temperatures as low as 11$0^{\circ}C$ and the properties of the powders synthesized over 13$0^{\circ}C$ were almost same regardless of the reaction time. BET surface area of the prepared powder was as high as 76 $m^2$/g and the calculated particle (particulate) size was below 20 nm. The ultrafine particulates formed weak agglomerates. The microstructure and dielectric properties of BaTiO$_3$ ceramics sintered at the temperature range of 1150~125$0^{\circ}C$ were evaluated.

The effect of operating parameters (reaction temperature and time) and reaction modes (batch and semi-batch) on the behavior of amino acid production from hydrothermal decomposition of fish-derived wastes was investigated. The amino acids obtained in batch experiments at temperature of 250$^{\circ}C$ were mainly alanine (Ala) and glycine (Gly) at maximum yield of 65 and 28mg/g-dry fish, respectively. At relatively lower temperature of 200$^{\circ}C$, the yield of high-molecular-weight amino acids such as aspartic acid (Asp) and serine (Ser) is high, but decreases as temperature increases. It is likely that high-molecular-weight amino acids decompose faster than low-molecular ones. Semi-batch mode of reaction suppressed decomposition of amino acids into organic acids (or volatile materials) by continuously removing the products from the reaction zone as soon as they are formed. Thus, large amount of high-molecular-weight amino acids such as Asp and Ser at this reaction mode was observed.

Orthorhombic and hexagonal lanthanum(III) hydroxycarbonate ($LaCO_3OH$) and $Ln^{3+}$-doped $LaCO_3OH$ ($LaCO_3OH:Ln^{3+}$, where Ln = Ce, Eu, Tb, and Ho) powders were prepared by a hydrothermal reaction under ambient pressure and characterized by thermogravimetry, powder X-ray diffraction, infrared and luminescence spectroscopy, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The polymorph of $LaCO_3OH$ depended on the reaction temperature, inorganic salt additive, species of $Ln^{3+}$ dopant, and solvent. The calcination of orthorhombic $LaCO_3OH:Ln^{3+}$ (2 mol %) powers at $600^{\circ}C$ yielded a mixture of hexagonal and monoclinic $La_2O_2CO_3:Ln^{3+}$ powders. The relative quantity of the latter increased with decreasing ionic radius of the $Ln^{3+}$ dopant ion and increasing doping concentrations. On the other hand, the calcination of hexagonal $LaCO_3OH:Ln^{3+}$ (2 mol %) powders at $600^{\circ}C$ resulted in a pure hexagonal $La_2O_2CO_3:Ln^{3+}$ powder, regardless of the species of $Ln^{3+}$ ions (Ln = Ce, Eu, and Tb). The luminescence spectra of $LaCO_3OH:Ln^{3+}$ and $La_2O_2CO_3:Ln^{3+}$ were measured to examine the effect of their polymorph on the spectra.

This study was conducted to develop n convenient and efficient granular type absorbent with high CEC from powdery zeolite, which is a waste produced while crushing the natural zeolite of Korea to get a particular particle size. The change of mineralogical characteristics during hydrothermal alternation of natural zeolite to Na-P zeolite in alkaline solution at various reaction times was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and total elemental analysis. The columnar aggregate of Na-P Zeolite was produced by calcinating the natural zeolite-charcoal extrudates of about 3 mm diameter. In 24 hours reaction, clinoptillonite, mordenite and feldspar in natural zeolite were disappeared by 3 N NaOH treatment, while Na-P Zeolite with spherical granular structure was newly detected by XRD. As increasing reaction time, Si/Al ratio in remaining solution was deceased. The CEC of the synthesized material increased more than 2 times compared with that of natural zeolite, although the diameter of Na-P zeolite were rather increased.
