Abstract

Feldspar, along with Quartz, are the most frequently produced minerals in Korea; however, the potential value is estimated to be significantly low because of the scarce research on the development and application of material properties, except for their limited use in manufacturing minerals, glass, and paints. In this study, we analyzed the eco-friendly material and reactivity improvement characteristics of weathered feldspar through activation technique. The joint structural features observed on the surface of the weathered feldspar show that the joint arrangements are irregularly distributed, and the cavities are interconnected. Due to the irregularly connected cavities on the surface of weathered feldspar, the reaction area of the weathered feldspar is increased; hence the weathered feldspar is considered as a highly reactive pozzolan material when combined with cement. As a result of applying the thermal, mechanical, and chemical activation techniques to improve the functionality of the weathered feldspar, the cation exchange capacity, density, and uniaxial compression strength characteristics were improved. It is considered that weathered feldspar by these porous characteristics can be used as an eco-friendly construction material with excellent physical and chemical properties.

장석은 석영과 더불어 국내에서 산출빈도가 가장 높은 광물이나 유리, 도료 등의 제조에 제한적인 이용을 제외하면 물질적 특성과 용도 개발에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않아 잠재적 가치가 매우 낮게 평가되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다공성 구조를 특징으로 하는 장석의 재료특성과 열적, 기계적, 화학적, 경량화 활성기법을 적용하여 반응성 개선 특성을 분석하였다. 풍화된 장석의 표면에서 관찰되는 공동의 구조적 특징을 살펴보면 공동들의 배열이 불규칙하게 분포하고 있으며, 공동끼리는 서로 연결되어 있다. 이러한 풍화된 장석의 표면에서 관찰되는 비정형의 연결된 공동으로 인하여 풍화된 장석은 반응면적이 확대되며 시멘트와의 결합재료로서 반응성이 높은 포졸란 재료 역할을 하는 것으로 판단된다. 다공성 장석의 기능성을 향상시키기 위하여 열적, 기계적, 화학적 활성기법을 적용한 결과 양이온교환능력, 밀도, 일축압축강도 특성이 개선되었다. 이러한 다공성 특성에 의하여 풍화된 장석은 물리·화학적 특성이 우수한 친환경 건설재료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
