PLLA grafted Hydroxyapatite / polylactide (g-HA/PLA) composites were prepared by three grafting methods. The modified particles (p-HA) were dispersed more uniformly in the PLLA matrix than pure n-HA. The p-HA/PLLA composites exhibited better mechanical properties and thermal stability than the n-HA/PLLA composites. The composites also demonstrated improved cell compatibility due to the good biocompatibility of the HAP nanoparticles and the more uniform distribution of the PLLA-grafted HAP nanoparticles on the film surface. All of these results indicated that the p-HAP/PLLA nano-composites might have a promising medical application in bone repair and in bone tissue-engineering.

The morphological characteristics of granules, which were generated in lab-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) for simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal with denitrifying phosphorus accumulating organism (dPAO) were identified. Granular sludge was fully developed in the anaerobic-anoxic (An-Ax) SBR after 180 days of SBR operation. The average diameter of granular sludge was 2.2 mm and rod-type organisms dominated in the granules. In addition, about 1.0 mm of white precipitate was observed in the core of the granule, and the material was confirmed that it is very similar to hydroxyapatite $(HAP;\;Ca_5(PO_4)_3(OH))$ by X-ray diffraction) analysis.

A chemical sequencing batch reactor was operated to test the feasibility of nutrient recovery from a biological livestock wastewater treatment plant. Both phosphate and ammonia could be successfully recovered as magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) crystals. The contents of TP and TN in the recovered MAP crystals were 26.2% and 4.0%, respectively. Zn, Cr and Ti were identified in the crystals, but the contents remained below the Korean standard for an organic fertilizer. Chemical analyses confirmed that the MAP crystals could be useful phosphate fertilizers. On the other hand, the results of physical analyses using an X-ray diffractometer and an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer strongly suggested that crystalline materials like magnesium potassium phosphate (KMP) and hydroxyapatite (HAP) were also formed during the MAP crystallization, depending on the availability of K⁺ and Ca²⁺.

Hydroxyapatites (HAps) were synthesized using the powdered waste of fishery products, i.e., fish scales and crab shells, as starting materials. HAp was synthesized by a wet-chemistry method followed by calcination at 600 and $800^{\circ}C$. Calcined crabshell powder revealed a single HAp phase and fine powder, while calcined fish-scale powder showed a ${\beta}-TCP$ secondary phase, even at the higher calcination temperature. Dense HAp pellets were obtained from the crab-shell powder by spark plasma sintering at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 10 min under applied pressures of 40 and 80 MPa in a vacuum state, giving sample densities of 2.93 and $3.06g/cm^3$, respectively. The estimated grain size of HAp was $448{\pm}96$ and $283{\pm}59nm$ for applied pressures of 40 and 80 MPa, respectively. In contrast, the HAp obtained using the pressureless sintering technique showed excessive grain growth without further densification.

One of the major sources causing eutrophication and algal blooms of lakes or streams is phosphorus which comes from point and nonpoint pollution sources. HAP (hydroxyapatite) crystallization using granular alkaline materials can achieve the decrease of phosphorus load from wastewater treatment plants and nonpoint pollution control facilities. In order to induce HAP crystal formation, continuous supply of calcium and hydroxyl ions is required. In this research, considering HAP crystallization, several types of lime-based granular alkaline materials were prepared, and the elution characteristics of calcium and hydroxyl ions of each were analyzed. Also, column tests were performed to verify phosphorus removal efficiencies of granular alkaline materials. Material_1 (gypsum+cement mixed material) achieved the highest pH values in the column tests consistently, also, Material_2 (gypsum+slag mixed material) and Material_3 (calcined limestone material) achieved over pH 9.0 for 240 hours (10 days) and proved the efficiencies of long-term ion supplier for HAP crystallization. In the column tests using Material_3, considerable pH increase and phosphorus removal were carried out according to each linear velocity and filtration depth. T-P removal efficiencies were 87.0, 84.0, 68.0% and those of PO4-P 100.0, 97.0, 80.0% for linear velocity of 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 m/hr respectively. Based on the column test results, the applicability of phosphorus removal processes for small-scale wastewater treatment plants and nonpoint pollution control facilities was found out.

본 연구에서는 UV-A 조사를 통해 titanium dioxide($TiO_2$), hydroxyapatite(HAP)와 germanium(Ge)의 다양한 복합촉매를 통한 항생제(lincomycin, LM)의 광촉매 제거를 조사하였다. 우선, 다양한 복합촉매의 향상된 광촉매능을 비교하였고, 도출된 제거효율은 $TiO_2/HAP/Ge$ > $TiO_2/Ge$ > $TiO_2/HAP$ 순으로 관찰되었다. $TiO_2/HAP/Ge$의 조성은 반응표면법의 하나인 혼합물분석(mixture analysis)에 기초하여 통계적 방안이 수행되었다. 각 인자별 6개의 조건을 포함하도록 설정한 독립변수 $TiO_2(X_1)$, HAP($X_2$)와 Ge($X_3$)의 LM($Y_1$)과 TOC($Y_2$) 제거에 대한 영향을 살펴보았다. 분산분석(ANOVA)의 회귀분석항은 유의한 p값(p<0.05)과 높은 결정계수 값($R^2$ of $Y_1=99.28%$ and $R^2$ of $Y_2=98.91%$)을 나타냈다. 등고선도와 반응곡선을 통해 UV-A 조사조건에서 $TiO_2$/HAP/Ge 조성에 따른 LM의 제거를 나타냈다. TOC($Y_2$) 제거를 기준으로 도출된 최적조성비는 코드화 값으로 $X_1=0.6913$, $X_2=0.2313$과 $X_3=0.0756$으로 나타났다. 실제 적용에 따른 비교 실험 결과는 LM과 TOC의 평균제거율이 각각 99.2%와 49.3%로 나타나 모델의 예측과 잘 부합하였다.

Nano-sized hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders were synthesized by a microwave-hydrothermal method using $H_3PO_4\;and\;Ca(OH)_2$ as starting materials. The applied microwave powers and mole ratio of Ca/P were served as powerful factors in the synthesis of calcium phosphate. In the case of relatively low microwave power of 450 Wand Ca/P ratio of 1.57, the mixed calcium phosphate compounds were detected in the synthesized powders. But in the case of running at 550 Wand 1.67(Ca/P), the synthesized powder showed the monophase of HAp having two kinds of morphologies. One was a needle shape with $5\~15\;nm$ in width and $20\~50\;nm$ in length, and the other was a spherical shape of $10\~40\;nm$ in diameter.

A shortcoming of using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for structural analysis via electron diffraction is the relatively large error of the measurements as compared to X-ray diffraction. To reduce these errors, various internal standard methods from earlier studies have been widely used. We developed a new device to facilitate the application of internal standard methods in preparation of TEM grids used for nanopowder analysis. Through the application of a partial mask on the TEM grid, both the internal standards and the research materials can be loaded on the same grid. Through this process, we conducted a TEM analysis that compared synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanopowder to bone apatite from a bovine femur. We determined that the accuracy of the d-spacing measurements of the HAp and bone powders could be improved to better than 1% after statistical treatments of the experimental data. By applying a quarter mask, we loaded four different nanoparticles on a single TEM grid, with one section designated for the internal standard.

HAp의 성형성과 열처리를 용이하게 하는 유기가소제를 사용하여 첨가량에 따른 강도(MPa)와 경도(Hv), 수축율(%) 및 생물학적 특성 중 항균력을 측정하였다. 가소제의 첨가량이 증가할수록 기계적 특성인 압축강도와 굽힘강도, 경도 등이 증가하였으나 가소제의 첨가량이 7%를 넘을 경우 오히려 기계적 특성이 감소하였다. 이는 허용치 이상의 가소제의 첨가는 성형 시 균열을 발생시키고 이러한 균열은 소결 시 내부에 미세균열 및 산화 시 기공의 발생을 촉진시켜 기계적 특성의 감소를 유발한다. 항균성 측정 결과 가소제 첨가량 에 관계없이 균은 검출되지 않았으며 우수한 항균력을 발휘하였다.
