Abstract

Quartz (SiO2) is among the major rock-forming minerals in the earth's crust. The atomistic structures of SiO2 may evolve during diverse frictional processes. The reduction of friction of quartz-rock accompanied by its amorphization, hydration, and formation of silica gel provides mineralogical insights into earthquakes and related phenomena. Ball milling, together with rotary shear experiments have been useful to infer the atomic origins of such processes. In this study, optimal experimental conditions for ball milling for amorphization of SiO2 were determined by taking into account various process variables. The crystallinity of SiO2 gradually decreased and became amorphous as the ball milling time increased at a high milling speed. The degree of wear of the milling media and its effect on the amorphization of SiO2 were analyzed using distinct milling materials (zirconia, stainless steel). The amount of ball wear increased with increasing milling time. Furthermore, the worn stainless steel particles from balls tend to interact with amorphized SiO2 to form Si-O-Cr. These results aid in understanding the process of atomistic structural changes caused by ball milling of divserse materials with relatively high hardness, such as SiO2, and understanding various geological friction processes.

석영(SiO2)은 지각의 암석을 형성하는 주요 광물 중의 하나이다. SiO2의 원자 구조는 다양한 마찰 과정에서 변화할 수 있다. 비정질화, 수화 및 실리카겔 형성을 수반하는 석영 암석의 마찰 감소는 지진 및 관련 현상에 대한 광물학적 통찰력을 제공한다. 볼 밀링과 회전 전단 실험을 이용하여 상기 현상의 광물학적 기원이 밝혀지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 밀링 과정에서의 다양한 변수를 고려하여 SiO2의 비정질화를 위한 볼 밀링의 최적 실험 조건을 결정하였다. 높은 밀링 속도에서 볼 밀링 시간이 증가함에 따라 SiO2의 결정도는 점차 감소하여 비정질화되었다. 밀링 매체의 마모 정도와 SiO2의 비정질화에 미치는 영향은 서로 다른 밀링 재료(ZrO2, stainless steel)를 사용하여 분석하였다. 밀링 시간이 증가함에 따라 볼의 마모량이 증가하였다. 또한 볼에서 마모된 스테인리스스틸 입자는 비정질화되는 SiO2와 상호작용하여 Si-O-Cr을 형성하는 경향이 있다. 이러한 결과는 SiO2와 같이 비교적 경도가 높은 다양한 물질들의 볼 밀링에 의한 원자 구조의 변화 과정을 이해하고, 다양한 지질학적 마찰 과정을 이해하는 데 도움이 될 것이다.
