This study was carried out in order to define the effective collectors and the opitimum conditions for the removal of iron ion in waste water by flotation method. The results obtained in this study are summarized as follows. Fe(II) and Fe(III) were removed effectively at pH7 and 6 respectively by using sodium lauryl sulfate, an anionic collector. The anionic collector, aeropromotor 845, removed both Fe(II) and Fe(III) effectively in pH ranges of from 5 to 9. The cationic collector, trimetyl dodecyl ammonium chloride, removed both Fe(II) and Fe(III) effectively in pH ranges from 10 to 11 and from 4 to 10, respectively. Therefore, Fe(II) and Fe(III) could be effectively removed by forming the iron hydroxide precipitates by simple pH adjustment of the solutions above precipitation point of ferrous and ferric ion by flotation method. Then, the effective pH regulator and collector were NaOH and $Na_2CO_3$,aeropromotor 845 and trimetyl dodecyl ammonium chloride, respectively.

Blast furnace slag (BFS) have many advantages that are related to effective value improvement on applying to concrete while side effects of blast furnace slag also appear. Thus, research team conducted an experiment with high volume slag to see if the attribute of waste alkali accelerator for mixing rate, mixed use of NaOH and $Na_2SiO_3$, and early strength agent for mixing rate for replacement ratio and for the types of the stimulants in order to increase the use of blast furnace slag1s powder. As the result of the experiment, when it comes to compression strength, all of the alkali stimulants have been improved as the replacement rate increases except for sodium hydroxide. Among the alkali stimulants, sodium silicate was high on dynamic elastic modulus and absorption factor. In case of early strength agent, the mix of mixing 1.5% and blast furnace slag 75% have showed high strength enhancement. In event of Waste Alkali accelerator, it has showed different consequences for each experiment.

A series of laboratory tests were conducted to verify the unhardening phenomena of Soil-Cement Wall (SCW) and the results are presented in this paper. Specimens are prepared by mixing the site soil with cement and additives at a various ratio. The hydration of the cement mixed with the in-situ soil was retarded due to the higher organic content of the soil. In order to remove the influence of the organic matters in hydration reaction, calcium chloride (CaCI$_2$) was added as an acceleration additive at a different ratio. The optimum ratio of the calcium chloride for the higher SCW strength was determined as 2% of cement weight. The strength, however, was decreased by adding 4 and 6% of the additives. The effect of other additives, NaOH and NaSiO$_2$, were also investigated and the results are included. The strength of SCW by adding sodium hydroxide was lowered. And the short term strength by adding sodium silicate was increased but the long term strength was decreased.

Using extracted sepia melanin powder by repeated treatments with aqueous sodium hydroxide and acetic acid solutions, vat dyeing of wool and cotton fabrics was carried out under various dyeing conditions including concentration of melanin, alkali, reducing agent and salt, as well as dyeing time and temperature. A K/S of 25.3 for wool fabrics was obtained at the optimal dyeing condition with 9% owf melanin, 0.5g/L NaOH and 56g/L $Na_2S_2O_4$ without salt at $80^{\circ}C$ for 90minutes. The vat dyeing of sepia melanin was applicable to both cotton and wool fabrics but the wool showed higher dyeability. The color fastness properties of the dyed wool and cotton fabrics were excellent to washing, rubbing and light irradiation.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of addition of cetyl trimethyl ammo­nium bromide (CTAB), and amine [ethylamine (EA) or ethylene diamine (EDA)] to aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution on polyester alkaline hydrolysis, The experimental vari­ables such as CTAB concentration, EA or EDA concentration, NaOH concentration, tempera­ture and time were compared, and the changes in physical and chemical properties of alkaline­hydrolyzed PET fabrics depending on their treated conditions were measured, The results are as follows: 1. By adding CTAB and amine in aqueous NaOH solution, increasing effect on weight loss of PET fabrics was obtained in simultaneous addition of CTAB and EDA, but not in CTAB and EA. 2. By adding CTAB & EDA simultaneously, increasing effect on weight loss was obtained regardless of EDA concentration, time and temperature, and it was more effective at lower NaOH concentration. :l. The increase of void space (or irregularly grooved surface), of softness, of wickability, of dyeability on PET fabric, and the decrease of tensile strength, of molecular weight were observed according to the weight loss on the PET fabrics. These changes were equal to all alkaline-hydrolyzed PET fabrics regardless of addition of CTAB and amine. l. There was little changes on crystallinity, thermal behavior when PET fiber was treated with ,aqueous NaOH solution with CTAB and EDA. These results supported that increasing effect on weight loss take place without inducing of fine structural change of PET fibers.

A series of experiments were carried out with three native strains of microalgae to measure growth rates, biomass, and lipid productivities. Scenedesmus sp. IMMTCC-6 had better biomass growth rate and higher lipid production. The growth, lipid accumulation, and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) consumption rate of Scenedesmus sp. IMMTCC-6 were tested under different NaOH concentrations in modified BBM. The algal strain showed the maximum specific growth rate (0.474/day), biomass productivity (110.9 mg $l^{-1}d^{-1}$), and $CO_2$ consumption rate (208.4 mg $l^{-1}d^{-1}$) with an NaOH concentration of 0.005 M on the $8^{th}$ day of cultivation. These values were 2.03-, 6.89-, and 6.88-fold more than the algal cultures grown in control conditions (having no NaOH and $CO_2$). The $CO_2$ fixing efficiency of the microalga with other alternative carbon sources like $Na_2CO_3$ and $NaHCO_3$ was also investigated and compared. The optimized experimental parameters at shake-flask scale were implemented for scaling up the process in a self-engineered photobioreactor. A significant increase in lipid accumulation (14.23% to 31.74%) by the algal strain from the logarithmic to stationary phases was obtained. The algal lipids were mainly composed of $C_{16}/C_{18}$ fatty acids, and are desirable for biodiesel production. The study suggests that microalga Scenedesmus sp. IMMTCC-6 is an efficient strain for biodiesel production and $CO_2$ biofixation using stripping solution of NaOH in a cyclic process.

Geopolymer is a sustainable concrete, replaces traditional cement concrete using alternative sustainable construction materials as binders and alkaline solution as alkaline activator. This paper presents the strength characteristics of geopolymer concrete (GPC) developed with fly ash and GGBS as binders, combined Sodium silicate ($Na_2SiO_3$) and Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) solution as alkaline activators. The parameters considered in this research work are proportions of fly ash and GGBS (70-30 and 50-50), curing conditions (Outdoor curing and oven curing at $600^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours), two grades of concrete (GPC20 and GPC50). The mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength along with durability characteristics were determined. For studying the durability characteristics of geopolymer concrete 5% $H_2SO_4$ solutions was used and the specimens were immersed up to an exposure period of 56 days. The main parameters considered in this study were Acid Mass Loss Factor (AMLF), Acid Strength Loss Factor (ASLF) and products of degradation. The results conclude that GPC with sufficient strength can be developed even under Outdoor curing using fly ash and GGBS combination i.e., without the need for any heat curing.

Aluminosilicate inorganic polymer binder has been studied as an alternative to ordinary Portland cement due to its higher physical properties, chemical resistance and thermal resistance. This study has been carried out in an attempt to understand the hardening characteristics of aluminosilicate binder by varying the content of calcium. Samples with four different ratios of Al, Si, and Ca were synthesized in this study with the Al:Si:Ca mol ratio being 1.00:1.85~1.98:0.29~2.12. Furthermore, an alkali silicate solution was prepared with the sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (NaSi). The hardening characteristics of the specimens were analyzed using XRD, SEM, and TG/DTA. In addition, compressive strength and sintering time of specimens were measured as a function of calcium content. The results showed that the specimen containing 2.12 mol% calcium offered the highest compressive strength. However, the compressive strength of the specimen containing 0.26 mol% calcium was lower relative to the other specimens. The results displayed a distinct tendency that as more calcium was added to the inorganic polymer, setting time became shorter. When calcium was added to the inorganic polymer structure, a second phase was not formed, indicating that the addition of calcium does not affect the crystalline structure.

Ultra-fine alumina, ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$, with ${\phi}$ = 0.1∼0.5 ${\mu}$m was obtained from pure ammonium aluminum sulfate(alum) as the thermal decomposition product. Pure alum(> 99.7%) could be prepared by the precepitation and the successive recrystallization in an acidic aqueous solution at pH = 1.5∼2.5, which was theoretically predicted by only considering the concentrations of hydroxide and carbonate for aluminum and sodium in the solution, and also experimentally confirmed as the optimum precepitation condition for alum without forming any impurities like aluminum hydroxide or sodium one.

Effects of free alkali and moisture on sucrose polyesters (SPE)-possible non calorie fat substitute-synthesis were investigated using a model system composed of sodium oleate, sucrose, potassium carbonate and methyl oleate. Trace amounts of free alkali in sodium oleate were found to interefere with SPE synthesis. When free alkali content in sodium oleate was varied gradually from 0% to 5%(w/w), the yield of SPE production was reduced from 92% to 45.5%. The moisture absorbed in sodium oleate, sucrose and potassium carbonate during storage also interefered with SPE synthesis. The yield (92%) of SPE production with dried ($105^{\circ}C$.6 hrs) reactants and catalysts was higher than that (89%) of SPE production with non-dried. Soybean oil fatty acid sodium soaps (FASS) not containing free alkali could be manufactured with slightly less than molar ratio of sodium hydroxide to soybean oil fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). Practically, 91.7% yield of soybean oil SPE production was outcomed by minimizing free alkali and moisture which were remaining in sucrose, potassium carbonate, soybean oil FASS and soybean oil FAME.
