칼슘은 인체의 뼈 또는 치아와 같은 골격구조의 주요 성분이며 다양한 생체 기능에 중요한 인자로서 작용하기 때문 에 적절한 섭취가 필요하다. 하지만 칼슘보충제로 섭취 시 칼슘의 생체이용률이 낮으므로 이를 개선하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 층상형 이중층수산화물(layered double hydroxide: LDH)은 층간에 다양한 음이온들을 삽입할 수 있고 독성이 낮은 것으로 알려져 있어 약물이나 생리활성물질의 전달매체로 응용하고자 활발히 연구 개발되고 있는 물질이 다. 본 연구에서는 칼슘을 포함하는 LDH 구조물(CaAl-LDH)을 합성하고, 이의용해 안정성과 소장에서의 흡수를 효율 적으로 조절하기 위하여 폴리머 코팅(E-coated CaAl-LDH)을 진행하였다. XRD 측정 결과폴리머 코팅에 의해 CaAl-LDH의 결정형 구조가 변형되지 않았으며, SEM 관찰에 의해 코팅 후에도 크기 및 형태가 유지됨을 확인하였다. 위액 모사조건에서 용해도 분석 결과 폴리머 코팅에 의해 칼슘이온의 용해가 감소하는 것을 확인하였으며, 이로써 소 장에서의 칼슘 흡수를 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 장관세포 및 마우스에 단회 경구투여 결과 세포독성 및 급성 독성을 나타내지 않았으며, 약동학적 분석 결과 체내 칼슘 흡수율이 향상될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.이러한 연구는 CaAl-LDH 나노소재의 폴리머 코팅을 통해 체내 안정성과 흡수율 향상을 유도할 수 있어 칼슘보충제로서의 잠재적 활 용 가능성을 제시한다.

일반적으로 UFFA(Ultra Fine Fly Ash)는 일반 플라이 애시보다 워커빌리티를 더 좋게 하고 포졸란 반응을 더 크게 활성화시키는 특성을 가지고 있으며, 이와 같은 특성이 콘크리트의 내구성을 더욱 향상시키는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 UFFA의 특성을 활용하여 초속경시멘트에 UFFA를 첨가한 콘크리트 혼합물이 조기교통개방용 콘크리트포장 보수재료로서 활용이 가능한지 여부를 판단하고자 하였다. 기 연구에서는 초속경시멘트에 UFFA만을 첨가할 경우, 포졸란 반응이 크게 활성화되지 못하여 내구성 증진에 큰 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 초속경시멘트와 UFFA에 수산화칼슘을 추가로 첨가하여 제조된 콘크리트 혼합물의 포졸란 반응 발생여부를 판단하고, 이것이 콘크리트 물성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 분석하였다. 본 연구결과, 초속경시멘트에 UFFA를 첨가할 경우 W/C비를 크게 낮출 수 있어 콘크리트의 조기강도 저감부분을 충분히 상쇄시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 X-선회절분석과 염소이온침투저항성 실험결과를 볼 때 수산화칼슘 첨가에 따른 UFFA초속경 콘크리트의 포졸란반응이 첨가하지 않은 것에 비하여 더 크게 활성화되는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 수산화칼슘 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 UFFA 초속경 콘크리트의 투수저항성이 전반적으로 증진됨을 알 수 있었다.

Recently, self-healing concrete has been researched as maintenance and repair of concrete structures are important challenges we face. This paper focused on possibility of ion exchange resin as a novelty material directly and actively controlling harmful ions of concrete, whereas most self-healing concrete researches have been focused on methods to automatically filling and repairing internal crack of concrete. Because equilibrium properties between ion exchange resin and harmful ion is important before design of cement mixing proportion, it was conducted to remove chloride or sulfate in saturated Ca(OH)2 solutions containing NaCl or Na2SO4. The removal performance was analyzed using kinetic equation and isothermal equation. Consequently, the removal properties of anion exchange resin were relatively more dependent on pseudo second reaction equation and Langmuir equation than pseudo first reaction equation and Freundlich equation. And it was concluded that each chloride and sulfate can be removed to the maximum 1068 ppm and 1314 ppm.

Carbonation is one of the most critical deterioration phenomena to concrete structures exposed to high CO2 concentration, sheltered from rain. Lots of researches have been performed on evaluation of carbonation depth and changes in hydrate compositions, however carbonation modeling is limitedly carried out due to complicated carbonic reaction and diffusion coefficient. This study presents a simplified carbonation model considering diffusion coefficient, solubility of Ca(OH)2, porosity reduction, and carbonic reaction rate for low concentration. For verification, accelerated carbonation test with varying temperature and MIP (Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry) test are carried out, and carbonation depths are compared with those from the previous and the proposed model. Field data with low CO2 concentration is compared with those from the proposed model. The proposed model shows very reasonable results like carbonation depth and consuming Ca(OH)2 through reduced diffusion coefficient and porosity compared with the previous model.

In this study, corrosion potential (Ecorr), corrosion rate, and polarization resistance were measured aimed at inorganic inhibitors (passive film type) and organic inhibitors (absorption type). The experiment was conducted using potentiostat for the variable molar ratio and chloride ion concentration of the components of inhibitors in an aqueous solution of saturated calcium hydroxide targeting corrosion. As a result, it was possible to ensure an anticorrosive performance of at least a 1.2 molar ratio of inorganic inhibitors. Also, the organic inhibitors ensured the prevention of the anticorrosive performance of at least about a 0.3 molar ratio. It also showed the tendency that between polarization resistance and corrosion rate, Ecorr and corrosion rate is inversely proportional to the linear. Conversely, the tendency between polarization resistance and Ecorr is proportional to the linear. Also, a distinct difference in organic and inorganic inhibitors’ relationship to Ecorr, corrosion rate, and polarization resistance was not shown.

In this study, in order to comprehend performance of corrosion inhibitor, the experiment study was conducted about corrosion characteristic 3 steps(0.0, 0.6, 1.2) of Chloride by added amount of inorganic(Ca(NO2)2) and organic(DMEA) corrosion inhibitor by the corrosion inhibitor types about 0.6kg/m3, 2.4kg/m3 based on Chloride ion content 1.2kg/m3 for service life prediction of concrete structure by using Poteniostat. As a results, the excellent anti-corrosive performance of organic corrosion inhibitor was seen that absorption types organic corrosion inhibitor has excellent anti-corrosive performance compared to the inorganic nitrous acid corrosion inhibitor by the added amount of corrosion inhibitor

Dissolution experiments were conducted to understand chemical nature of weathering of anorthosite from the Hadong area. Anorthosite and plagioclase from it were reacted with HCl or KOH solutions under various conditions concerning such as grain size, initial pH of solutions, and shaking Average composition of plagioclase used in the experiment was Na0.32Ca0.71Al1.71Si2.28O8.Under acidic conditions, solution pH increases rapidly in the initial stage and then gradually to reach palteau. Shaking agitates the reaction rate in the initial stage but does not affect after the system reached steady state. Ca and si concentrations show rapid increase and then gradual increase. Al concentration increases rapidly in the early stage and then decreases. Later decrease was interpreted as the precipitation of an Al-bearing material. Different dissolution rates of different constituents of plagioclase together the with precipitation of al-bearing material might be responsible for the non-stoichiometric dissolution of plagioclase.X-ray diffraction analyses on anorthosite before and after dissolution experiment show dissolution rates differ with different lattice planes of plagioclase. It suggests the crystallographic control on dissolution reaction. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic result shows that the average composition of plagioclase surface reacted with HCL of initial pH 1.97 for 2000 hours is Na0.20Ca0.26Al1.7Si2.3O8. It means that Na- and Ca-depleted H-feldspar is developed without Al-depleted layer on the surface of plagioclase by reaction with HCl and that dissolution reaction takes place sparsely on the surface of plagioclase. Al and Si are dissolved preferentially over Ca from anorthosite powder in KHO solution. Reaction of acid-reacted anorthosite with KOH solution shows the same Si dissolution behavior as in the fresh anorthosite. This indicates that the Al-depleted and Si-enriched layer does not build up on the acid-reacted surface.
