The hydrolysis-precipitation reaction of mixed aluminum salt solutions of aluminum sulfate, aluminum nitrate, and urea has been investigated to obtain narrow-sized and unagglomerated fine spherical precipitates of aluminum hydroxide required for coating core particles. The hydrolysis-precipitatin reaction could be controlled to be appropriate to coating processes by usign urea as a pH control-agent. As the concetration of total Al3+ ion and the molar ratio of SO42-/Al3+ in starting solutions became smaller and also as the vol. ratio of water/solution for hydrolyzing mixed aluminum salt solution became larger, the morphology of precipitates tended to be more unagglomerated and spherical, while their size(0.5longrightarrow0.05${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) to be smaller. The optimum hydrolysis condition for coating processes was to hydrolyze the mixed aluminum salt solution, in which the molar ratio of SO42-/Al3+ was 0.75, while the amount of water corresponding to the vol. ratio of water/solution of 15. The precipitate was the aluminum hydroxide which sulfate ions were strongly adsorbed on and the maximum yield in the hydrolysis-precipitation reaction was about 20%.

A formation of aluminum hydroxide by hydrolysis of nano and micro aluminum powder has been studied. The nano aluminum powder of 80 to 100 nm in diameter was fabricated by a pulsed wire evaporation (PWE) method. The micro powder was commercial product with more than $10\;{\mu}m$ in diameter. The hydroxide type and morphology depending on size of the aluminum powder were examined by several analyses such as XRD, TEM, and BET. The hydrolysis procedure of micro aluminum powder was different from that of nano aluminum powder. The nano aluminum powder after immersing in the water was transformed rapidly to a nano fibrous boehmite, accompanying with a remarkable temperature increase, and then further transformed slowly to a stable bayerite. However, the micro powder was changed to the stable bayerite slowly and directly. The formation of fibrous aluminum hydroxide from nano aluminum powder might be due to the fine cracks which were formed by hydrogen gas pressure on the surface hydroxide layer during hydrolysis. The nano powder with large specific surface area and small size reacted more actively and faster than the micro powder, and transformed to meta-stable hydroxide in relatively short reaction time. Therefore, the formation of fibrous boehmite is special characteristic of hydrolysis of nano aluminum powder.

Zirconia powder coated with alumina was prepared by hydrolysis of alumina butoxide. The coated powder was obtained by a hydrolysis reaction between the adsorbed water on the surface of zirconia particles and aluminum sec-butoxide. Amorphous aluminum hydroxide was uniformly coated on the surface of zirconia particles with the thickness of about 30 nm. The shape and distribution of aluminum hydroxide was varied with an existence of surfactant. The coated layer of aluminum hydroxide consists of the fine particle size, and the zirconia powder coated by alumina hydroxide have the large specific surface area of 120 $m^2$/g, compared with that of starting zirconia powder.

Hydrolysis of BTDA-ODA: MPDA, PMDA-ODA, PIQ polyimides were investigated by FT-IR. The results showed that hydrolysis depends on structure of polyimide and that polyimide obtains hydrolytic stability by curing. Polyimide-aluminum interfaces were characterized by RAIR. It was concluded that imidization of the polyamic acid to polyimde was inhibited by interaction of acid groups with substrate to form aluminum carboxylate.

This study examined the effect of environmental variables, such as the NaOH concentration and solution temperature, on the rate of hydrogen generation from NaOH solutions through the corrosion of used aluminum cans as a potential candidate material for the safe and economic production of hydrogen. Corrosion of the used aluminum cans was promoted by increasing the NaOH concentration and solution temperature because of the loss of aluminum passivity. The measured rate of hydrogen generation from the NaOH solutions increased with increasing NaOH concentration due to the catalytic activity of NaOH in the hydrolysis process. However, at higher solution temperatures, the rate of hydrogen generation rate was less affected by the NaOH concentration than that at lower temperature.

A formation of aluminum hydroxide by hydrolysis reaction in the water has been studied by using nano aluminum powder fabricated by pulsed wire evaporation(PWE) method. The hydroxide type and morphology depending on temperature and pH were examined by structural analysis. The Boehmite($Al_2O_3$.$H_2O$ or AIO(OH)) was predominantly formed in high temperature region over 4$0^{\circ}C$, while the Bayerite($Al_2O_3$.$H_2O$ or $Al(OH)_3$) below $30^{\circ}C$ of hydrolysis temperature. The Boehmite formation was preferred to the Bayerite in acidic solution in the same hydrolysis temperature. The slowly formed Bayerite phase showed facet crystalline structure, while the fast formed Boehmite was fine fiber with a large aspect ratio of several nm in diameter and several hundred nm in length, and with much larger specific surface area(SSA) than that of Bayerite. The highest SSA was about $420m^2$/g.

Nitrogen ion with various levels of dose and irradiation energy was irradiated on aluminum surfaces. Contact angle of surface was increased and surface color was changed by nitrogen ion implantation. During steam condensation experiment using nitrogen ion implanted specimen, dropwise condensation initially occurred on specimens. However, condensation mode eventually changed into filmwise condensation. The color of the surface was also changed from yellow-brown to silver-white. This change of surface color and condensation mode were results of hydrolysis reaction between condensate and nitrogen ion implanted on aluminum surfaces.

A research effort has been made to determine soil buffer capacity in forest soils nearby urban and industrialized regions. Buffer capacities of soils from four regions were measured by different pH levels of artificial acid precipitation. The following conclusions have been drawn in response to the overall research objectives. Soil Suffer capacity was the highest in Kangwondo followed by Uisan, Yeochon and Seoul when simulated acid precipitation were treated at the level of pH 3.0-5.7. With the acid precipitation treatment below pH 2.0 level, however, the capacity dropped seriously with no significant differences between the regions. In Kangwondo region soils weathered from granite and limestone showed significant differences in the buffer capacities. Soil collected in Seoul and Ulsean revealed that the capacities tended to increase with the distance from the pollution sources when treated at pH 3.0, 4.5 and 5.7 level of acid precipitation. The major mechanism of soil buffer observed during simulated acid precipitation experiment was canon exchange for Kangwondo forest soils. In Seoul region canon exchange also played an important role in soil buffering under artificial acid precipitation between 3.0 and 5.7 pH levels, yet under pH 2.0 level aluminum and silicate hydrolysis. In Ulsan canon exchange was a msjor determinant for the buffer capacity above pH 4.5 level, between pH 3.0-4.5 aluminum hydrolysis and below pH 3.0 aluminum and silicate hydrolysis. In Yeochon silicate hydrolysis led buffer capacity above pH 4.5 and below pH 4.5 aluminum hydrolysis.

Formation of aluminum hydroxide by a hydrolytic reaction of nano aluminum powder synthesized by a pulsed wire evaporation (PWE) method has been studied. The type and morphology of the hydroxides were investigated with various initial temperatures and pHs. The nano fibrous boehmite (AlOOH) was formed predominantly over $40^{\circ}C$ of the hydrolytic temperature in acid solution, while the bayerite $(Al(OH)_3)$ was formed predominantly below $30^{\circ}C$ in alkali solution with a faceted crystalline structure. As a result the boehmite showed a much larger specific surface area (SSA) than that of bayerite. The highest SSA of the boehmite was about $409\;m^2/g$.
