태백 도석은 주로 quartz와 함께 kaolinite가 포함되어 있다. 도석의 특성분석은 XRD, XRF, TG--DTA, SEM등을 이용하여 결정상과 화학성분 등을 분석하였다. 원석의 화학조성은 71.75wt%$SiO_2$, 22.10wt%$Al_2O_3$, 1.86wt%CaO, 2.97wt%$K_2O$, 0.62 wt%$Fe_2O_3$ 등이다. 3mm 크기의 도석을 $80^{\circ}C$의 10% 수산 농도에서 침출하면 탈철은 0.62wt%에서 0.24wt%로 감소하고 백색도가 증가하였다. 도석의 분쇄는 planetary ball mill을 이용하여 지르코니아 볼로 분쇄하였으며, 입도 크기는 25$\mu\textrm{m}$ 크기로 균일하게 분쇄되었다.
The pottery stones from the Taebek area consist of abundant quartz with kaolinite. In this study, the characteristics of pottery stones were examined by XRD (X-ray diffractometer), XRF (X-ray fluorescence spectrometer), TG-DTA and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). The chemical compositions of the raw ore showed 71.75 wt%$SiO_2$, 22.10 wt%$Al_2O_3$, 1.86 wt%CaO, 2.97 wt%$K_2O$, 0.62 wt%$Fe_2O_3$. When pottery stone of 3 mm size was leached at $80^{\circ}C$ with 10 % oxalic acid, the content of $Fe_2O_3$ was reduced from 0.62 wt% to 0.24 wt% and the whiteness was enhanced. Grinding of pottery stone was conducted by a planetary ball mill using media of zirconia, the average particle size was 2~5 $\mu\textrm{m}$.
