To prepare the complex gel of flux and pseudo-boehmite used in precursor of the flaky ${\alpha}-A1_2O_3$ crystal, aqueous solution of the mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium phosphate was added with stirring in aqueous solution of the mixture of sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate and titanium sulfate. The complex gel was dried at $110^{\circ}C$ and was crystallized above $1,050^{\circ}C$, and then the effect of the amount of titanium sulfate on size, morphology, thickness and crystal size distribution of the flaky ${\alpha}-A1_2O_3$ crystal was investigated. Addition of titanium sulfate was prevented the aggregation and generation of twin crystal, and had an effect on the crystal size and the thickness during crystal growth. When the amount of titanium sulfate was more than 6 g, particle size was decreased but was free from crystal twining and aggregation. On the other hand, when the amount of titanium sulfate was lower than 6 g, crystal size was increased but crystal twinning and aggregation were noticed.

Titanium sulfate supported on $TiO_2$was prepared by impregnation of powdered $TiO_2$with an aqueous solution of titanium sulfate followed by calcining in air at high temperature. For Ti$(SO_4)_2/TiO_2$ samples calcined at 300 $^{\circ}C$, no diffraction lines of titanium sulfate are observed at $Ti(SO_4)_2$loading up to 30 wt%, indicating good dispersion of $Ti(SO_4)_2$ on the surface of $TiO_2$. The acidity of the catalysts increased in proportion to the titanium sulfate content up to 20 wt% of $Ti(SO_4)_2$. 20 wt% $Ti(SO_4)_2/TiO_2$ calcined at 300 $^{\circ}C$ exhibited maximum catalytic activities for 2-propanol dehydration and cumene dealkylation. The catalytic activities for these reactions, were correlated with the acidity of catalysts measured by ammonia chemisorption method.

$TiO_2$ powders were prepared from titanium (IV) sulfate ($Ti(SO_4)_2$) solution using ammonia solution at low reaction temperature ($80{\sim}100^{\circ}C$) and atmospheric pressure by hydrothermal precipitation method without calcination. The effect of reaction conditions, such as reaction temperature, initial concentration of titanium (IV) sulfate ($Ti(SO_4)_2$) solution, pH of mixture solution and the physical properties of the prepared $TiO_2$, such as crystallite structure, crystallite size were investigated. The photocatalytic activity of prepared $TiO_2$ was tested by the photolysis of brilliant blue FCF (BB-FCF) under the UV and the analysis of UV-VIS diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The physical properties of prepared $TiO_2$ were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence spectrometer (PL), particle size distribution measurements. The crystallite size and crystallinity of prepared $TiO_2$ increased with increasing titanium (IV) sulfate ($Ti(SO_4)_2$) concentration, but photocatalytic activity decreased. The crystallite size decreased with increasing pH of mixture solution, but photocatalytic activity increased. The crystallinity and photocatalytic activity increased with increasing reaction temperature. The results showed that anatase type $TiO_2$ could be prepared by hydrothermal precipitation method using titanium (IV) sulfate ($Ti(SO_4)_2$) solution and ammonia solution at low reaction temperature and atmospheric pressure without calcination.

Titanium dioxide particles are used as photocatalysts, sensors, adsorbents and catalyst. Core-shell polymers of inorganic/organic pair, which have both core and shell component, were synthesized by sequential emulsion polymerization using Acrylate as a shell monomer and potassium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator. We found that when Acrylate core prepared by adding 0.5~2.0 wt% EU-S133D, Titanium dioxide / Acrylate core-shell polymerization was carried out on the surface of Titanium dioxide particle without forming the new Titanium dioxide particle during acrylate shell polymerized in the inorganic/organic core-shell polymer preparation. The structure of core-shell polymer were investigated by measuring to the thermal decomposition of polymer composite using thermogravimetric analyzer(TGA) and morphology of latex by scanning electron microscope(SEM).

Titanium dioxide nanotubes were fabricated by self-organized electrochemical potentiostatic anodization of titanium thin film with an electrolyte solution of sodium sulfate 1M and sodium flouride 0.5wt% aqueous solution at 20$^{\circ}C$ for 20min. Field Emmision Scanning Electron Microscopy(FE-SEM) and X-ray Diffractometer(XRD) were used to evaluate the micromorphology and crystalline structure of the titanium dioxide nanotube thin film. Titanium dioxide nanotube were fabricated with diameters approx. 100nm and tube length from appox. 1 $\mu$m. Titanium dioxide films formed through anodization and annealing process at 450$^{\circ}C$ contained a phase of anatase. Also, this study was performed to evaluate the application of titanium dioxide thin film for treating humic acid dissolved in water. The reaction tended to follow the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics with zero order. Comparative experiments with thin film and anatase powder showed the same zero order kinetics when 0.3g of powder had been used.

The sodium ${\alpha}-sulfo$ fatty acid vinyl ester oligomers, which are oligomer type surfactants were prepared by polymerization with fatty acid vinyl acetate. The ${\alpha}-sulfonation$ of fatty acid vinyl ester oligomers were carried by direct addition of sulfur trioxide. The dispersing performance of oligomer type anionic surfactants and sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) in the aqueous suspension of iron oxide and titanium dioxide particles was evaluated by particle size distribution and zeta-potential measurement. As results, the particles of iron oxide and titanium dioxide were flocculated by addition of small amount of oligomer type anionic surfactants and sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS), then the flocks redispersed by more addition of oligomer type anionic surfactants and SDS. The flocculation, redispersion process was observed in lower concentration range of oligomer type anionic surfactants than SDS. Especially, the dispersing action of sodium ${\alpha}-sulfo$ palmitic acid vinyl ester oligomer was better than sodium ${\alpha}-sulfo$ lauric acid vinyl ester oligomer.

In order to obtian TiO2 fine powder of high purity, the new method which is different from the sulfate process and the chloride one was employed. TiO2 was syntehsized by the reaction between elemental titanium particles and H2O2 solutiosn at 30~7$0^{\circ}C$, and then TiO2 powder was characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, DTA and FT-IR. It was found that the initial reaction rate was fast at a high temperature due to the high generation of activated oxygen associated with thedecomposition of H2O2. However, the reaction was slowly proceeded at a low temperature due to slow decomposition of H2O2. In this experimental range, the optimum temeprature was ocnsidered to be about 5$0^{\circ}C$. The primary particles of the hydrous titanium dioxide (TiO2 gel) before aging were spherical, and their mean sizes were about 50nm. The similar shapes and sizes were observed with calcinatin at 40$0^{\circ}C$. The FT-IR spectrum of Ti-OH in the TiO2 gel powder appeared at around 3380cm-1, 1630cm-1 and 530cm-1. This gel powder was crystallized into the anatase type TiO2 at 300~40$0^{\circ}C$.

In the present study, the thermodynamic evaluation of the sulfate-roasting process was conducted to extract vanadium from the Korean vanadium titano-magnetite ore. The leaching efficiency of vanadium and other impurities was analyzed for varying roasting temperatures and addition of Na₂SO₄. In the case of sulfate roasting, the roasting temperature was 200 ℃ higher than that previously observed Na₂CO₃ roasting. However, the higher leaching efficiency of vanadium and lower leaching efficiency of other impurities, such as aluminum and silicon, were observed. The high selectivity for the extraction of vanadium in sulfate roasting would result from the reaction mechanism between SO₂ gas and vanadium concentrate.

The characteristic and performance of ${\beta}-PbO_2$ layer electrodeposited on ${\alpha}-PbO_2/IrO_2-TiO_2/Ti$ substrate by adding sodium lauryl sulfate and $TiO_2$ powder in lead nitrate solution were investigated by using XRD, SEM, cyclic voltammograms, and macro-elctrolysis. Results of XRD analysis ascertain that ${\beta}-PbO_2$ layers electrodeposited in the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate and $TiO_2$, powder on ${\alpha}-PbO_2/IrO_2-TiO_2/Ti$ substrate have the same tetragonal structure as pure ${\beta}-PbO_2$ layers. The SEM results show that sodium lauryl sulfate tend to diminish crystal size of the deposited layer. The ${\beta}-PbO_2$ electrode electrodeposited in the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate and $TiO_2$ powder gives significantly improved oxygen overvoltage and durability for anodic oxidation in KOH and $HClO_4$ supporting electrolyte. Electrode performance and durability for the evolution of ozone in perchloric acid solution have been investigated by using ${\beta}-PbO_2$ electrodes electrodeposited on Titanium $madras^{(R)}$. It was ascertained that the $PbO_2$ electrode electrodeposited on ${\alpha}-PbO_2/IrO_2-TiO_2/Ti$ $madras^{(R)}$ by adding sodium lauryl sulfate and $TiO_2$ powder in $HClO_4$ supporting electrolyte had the highest current efficiency and durability.
