Miscibility of barium sulfate in tricalcium silicate was investigated by firing 3CaCO3·SiO2 mixture containing barium sulfate at 1530℃. Added amount of barium sulfate to the mixture was zero to 5 mole % with intervals of 1 mole %. Lattice parametres were also calculated. Results were as follow; 1) Dissolution of barium sulfate in tricalcium silicate does not alter the symmetry in room temperature, but influences it's polymorphic transition forms, temperatures and thermal effects; modification triclinic Ⅱ is stabilized in room temperature. 2) Barium sulfate dissolves about up to 2 mole % in tricalcium silicate and more than this amount, tricalcium silicate formation is inhibited. 3) Unit cell volume of tricalcium silicate is slightly decreased with dissolution of barium sulfate, mainly because of contraction in c axis.

Purpose: The evaluation of SUV (Standardized Uptake Values) for quantitative analysis in PET exam is the most significant. In PET exam, we make attenuation correction images by using $^{68}Ge$, $^{137}Cs$ or CT data. At this time, a distorted attenuation map affects quantitative analysis. After the exam using barium-sulfate and high density of barium contrast make attenuation map distorted. And then it brings bed influences on SUV. The aim of this study is to verify the relationship between high density barium-sulfate and SUV in PET exam. Materials and Methods By using $^{18}F$-FDG, we made barium-sulfate powder, density of 0, 1.5, 3, 5, 10 and 15% respectively and acquired PET and PET/CT images per each density. And we examined SUV variations from PET and PET/CT images according to differences of barium's density. Moreover, we finally calculated SUV causing variations in HU (Hounsfield Units) values to justify whether the differences of barium density bring any changes in PET/CT exam. Results: From PET images acquired from transmission scan with $^{68}Ge$, we got SUV figures from 6.46 to 6.8 in barium density between 0 to 15 percent. On the other hand, In PET images acquired from Tx scan that using CT, SUV was 6.77 to 23.73, derived from the same barium density. And CT HU values range from 29 to 2004. Conclusion: PET images from Tx data using $^{68}Ge$ weren't affected by barium density and had no differences in SUV. But in the PET/CT images using CT Tx data, there's considerable variations in HU and SUV values according to a difference of barium density in HU values. To perform a precise examination, barium sulfate should be removed from a human body before performing a PET exam.

A shield was made by mixing materials such as bismuth(Bi) and barium(Ba) with silicon to evaluate its shielding ability. Bismuth was made into a shield by mixing a bismuth oxide(Bi₂O₃) colloidal solution and a silicon base and applied to a fibrous fabric, and barium was made by mixing lead oxide(PbO) and barium sulfate(BaSO₄) with a silicon curing agent and solidifying it to make a shield. The test was conducted according to the lead equivalent test method for X-ray protective products of the Korean Industrial Standard. The experiment was conducted by increasing the shielding body one by one from the test condition of 60 kVp, 200 mA, 0.1sec and 100 kVp, 200 mA, 0.1 sec. At 60 kVp, 2 lead oxide-barium sulfate shields, 2 bismuth oxide 1.5 mm shields, and 5 bismuth oxide 0.3 mm shields showed shielding ability equal to or higher than that of lead 0.5 mm. At 100 kVp, 2 lead oxide-barium sulfate shields and 2 bismuth oxide 1.5 mm shields showed shielding ability equal to or higher than that of lead 0.5 mm. It was confirmed that when using 2 pieces of lead oxide-barium sulfate and 1.5 mm of bismuth oxide, respectively, it has shielding ability equivalent to that of lead. Bismuth oxide and lead oxide-barium sulfate are lightweight and have excellent shielding ability, thus they have excellent properties to be used as an apron for radiation protection or other shielding materials.

The objective of this study is to investigate the removal of heavy metal by using the coprecipitation of barium sulfate. Several parameters governing the efficiency of the coprecipitation method were evaluated by the pH of sample solution, amount of coprecipitant, and addition of sulfide for the removal of As(V), Cd(II), Cr(III), Cr(VI), Cu(II), Hg(II) and Pb(II) metal ions ($10{\mu}g/ml$ each). The coprecipitation was about 80% - 95% only for lead at low pH but under 10% for other ions. The amount of removal was about 95% - 100% for Cd, Hg, Pb, Cu in the all pH range by the addition of sulfide with barium sulfate but As(V) and Cr(III, VI) ions were not affected by the same conditions.

Effect of calcium sulfate and barium sulfate on the formation of portland cement clinker was studied by means of chemical analysis. DTA and X-ray diffraction analysis. In the presence of liquid phase, effect of the additives on the formation of tricalcium silicate was examined according to the reaction, 2CaO.$SiO_3$＋CaO$\longrightarrow$3CaO.$SiO_3$, which is the principal reaction in portland cement clinkerization, and optimum conditions in firing clinker concerning amount of additive, firing time and temperature were determined, and its kinetics was referred to. The experimental results are summerized as follow: (1) Appropriate burning temperature range of cement clinker is more limited as the content of calcium sulfate in clinker is increased. Amount of calcium sulfate, firing time and temperature in proper condition of clinkerization is related to each others. Being added suitable quantity of calcium sulfate, firing temperature of clinker can be lowered about $100^{\circ}C$. (2) When 3-5 mole% of calcium sulfate is added, firing time of 15-30 minutes at about $1380^{\circ}C$ is reasonable, and if the content is over7 mole %, firing for 1 hr. or more at $1350^{\circ}C$ is anticipated to be optimum condition. (3) In the reaction of tricalcium silicate formation, the role of barium sulfate as a mineralizer is similar to that of calcium sulfate, but the optimum firing temperature of cement clinker containing barium sulfate tends to be 20-$30^{\circ}C$ higher than that of clinker containing calcium sulfate. (4) When barium sulfate is used as mineralizer, 2-3 mole % of it to tricalcium silicate is recommended and if it is added more than this amount, free CaO is increased rapidly in clinker and alite formation is inhibited.

Barium sulfate is an inert material used as a radiographic contrast medium during upper gastrointestinal contrast studies for evaluation of patients with dysphagia. Oral barium aspiration is an uncommon but well-reported complication of this procedure. While barium aspiration of small amounts may not cause any symptoms, massive barium aspiration can be life-threatening, particularly in elderly patients with multiple comorbidities. In this case report, we describe an elderly patient with multiple comorbidities who presented with thyrotoxicosis and dysphagia, and then died after massive barium aspiration. Despite administration of intensive medical care with ventilator support and therapeutic bronchoalveolar lavage to remove the aspirated barium, the patient died of multiple organ failure 9 days after barium aspiration. Clinicians should pay attention to elderly patients with predisposing factors for aspiration in whom upper gastrointestinal barium contrast studies are indicated, and should consider other diagnostic tools for evaluation of dysphagia in this population.

감촉 및 광학적 요소는 파우다 파운데이션에 있어서 매우 중요한 요소이다. 이러한 감촉과 광학적인 요소를 동시에 만족하는 분체에 관심을 가지고 다양한 소재 및 제조방법을 연구 중에 바륨설페이트를 기본 입자로 하는 복합화 된 분체를 개발하게 되었다. 바륨설페이트는 입자의 모양이 매우 넓고 표면의 굴곡이 없는 판상으로 감촉면에서 부드러운 사용성과 균일한 부착 특성을 나타내며 굴절율도 피부보다 약간 높은 수준으로 인위적이지 않고 자연스러운 광학적 특성을 나타내고 있다. 그러나 파운데이션에서 요구되는 광학적 특성인 자외선 차단능력이나 커버력, 블루밍 효과에 있어서는 기대수준에 못 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 특징은 파우다 파운데이션에서 사용되는 대부분의 분체에 있어서 공통적으로 나타나는 특성으로 감촉적인 측면(소프트, 밀착력 등)과 광학적 측면(커버력, 자외선 차단력 등)을 동시에 만족하는 분체가 극히 드문 것을 알 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 점을 극복하고자 감촉적인 측면에서 우수한 바륨설페이트를 모입자로 하고 자외선 차단능력과 블루밍에서 우수하나 자체의 응집력이 강하고 사용감이 거친 특징을 나타내고 있는 티타늄디옥사이드를 자입자로 하여 복합화하려 하였다. 이때 중요 요소로 복합화 되는 티타늄디옥사이드의 함량에 따라 복합안료의 감촉적인 측면과 분산력 등이 민감하게 달라지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이에 패널을 이용하여 복합안료의 사용성에 영향을 미치지 않는 수준의 함량을 결정하여 복합화 처리했으며, 사용자가 피부에 도포시 발생되는 피지나 땀에 대한 변색과 사용감을 고려하여 피지나 땀에 강한 발수, 발유 능력을 나타내며 부드러운 감촉의 디메치콘으로 복합안료를 코팅 처리하여 복합분체를 만들게 되었다. 이렇게 만든 복합분체(barium sulfate/TiO$_2$/dimethicone)를 패널을 이용한 테스트와 기기를 이용한 테스트를 실시하여 효과를 검증하게 되었다.
