충남 청양군에 위치한 삼성광산은 견운모 광석을 채광하는 광산이다. 이 광산의 주변 지질은 선캠브리아기의 화강편마암과 운모 편암 및 호상 편마암, 그리고 이를 관입한 흑운모 화강암으로 구성되어있다. 견운모광체는 화강편마암내에 발달하고 있으며, 견운모화되는 과정은 모암의 구성광물이 변질되어 형성된 것으로서, 이들 광물이 순서적으로 견운모로 변질되는 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 즉, 정장석이 제일 먼저 견운모로 변하며, 그 다음으로 사장석, 석영, 백운모 등의 순서로 각각 변질됨을 알 수가 있었다. 견운모화작용이 진행되어 감에 따라 모암으로부터 견운모광체로 근접할수록 SiO$_2$, CaO, $Na_2$O는 감소하는 반면, $Al_2$O$_3$, $K_2$O 등은 증가한다. 견운모 광화작용은 쥬라기의 흑운모 화강암의 관입과 성인적으로 연관된 것으로 믿어진다.

Sericite was ground with or without additives (LiNO₃ or TiO₂) using a planetary mill. The resultant ground products included the average particle size of 2-3 ㎛ (sericite only or sericite+LiNO₃) and 0.5-0.6 ㎛ (sericite+TiO₂) were obtained within 10 minutes of grinding time. respectively. In the grinding of the sericite without any addictive, the particle size initially decreased, but, as grinding time elapsed thereafter, agglomerates were formed and D50 increased over 10 ㎛. In contrast, when the additive was added, the particle size decreased as the grinding time elapsed and any aggregation was relatively not noticeable, compared with the grinding of the sericite only. As a result of measuring the zeta potential for the raw or the ground samples, variation of the zeta potential values according to pH at the early stage of the grinding with the addictives was gentler than that at the final stage of grinding, which showed the relatively similar trend to the pH-zeta potential correlation in grinding of raw sericite. In addition, as a result of the disintegration experiment through ultrasonic excitation, D50 decreased rapidly only until the disintegration time of about 50 minutes.

Powder type sericite has been actively researched in the area of chemistry and mineralogy in terms of waste recycling. It is a material that can be obtained relatively inexpensively with a low thermal conductivity like general mica, so in order to improve the thermal conductivity of the mortar, powder type sericite was used in this work. Compressive strengths of mortar before and after high temperature exposure were compared and evaluated to determine the fire resistance of mortar with powder type sericite. According to the experimental results, it was found that the compressive strength decreased when powder type sericite was replaced with cement, but the decrease in compressive strength with the increasing amount of powder type sericite was insignificant. When powder type sericite was incorporated, the thermal conductivity decreased, and the residual strengths of the mortar specimens which were heat treated at 600℃, 900℃, and 1,200℃ were higher than that of plain mortar. From the comprehensive evaluation of the experimental results, it can be concluded that the powder type sericite has the potential to be used as a refractory material for cement composites.

The sericite ore deposits formed in the Precambrian granitic rock at the Bonghwa area, Kyungsangbuk-do, South Korea. The geochemical and mineralogical characteristics of sericite occurred in Daehyun and Seonghwang mine were analyzed using petrographic microscope, XRD, EPMA, XRF and ICP. An alteration mechanism was also studied. Sericitization occurred within the granitic rock by hydrothermal alteration. From the careful study on the occurrence and mineral assemblage, four alteration zone were clearly identified. These zones reflect progressive hydrothermal alteration process. All sericites belong to $2M_1$ polytype and their mineralogical and geochemical properties are close to illite. The sericite ores show various colors, but the characteristics of major element compositions and crystal structures are not different. The trace element analysis, however, indicates that the difference in color attribute to the abundance of Cr and Ti: bluish green colored sericite are enriched in Cr and blackish green colored sericite enriched in Ti. The formation of sericite ore deposit in the granitic rocks are closely relate to fracture system such as fault and joint. It is considered that the sericite ore deposits in this area were formed by very simple hydrothermal alteration occurred along the fracture zones in granitic rocks with absence of other hydrothermally altered minerals such as kaolin and pyrophyllite.

The Samsung mine is located in Jeongsan-myeon, Cheongyang-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, and is produces sericite ores. The purpose of this study is to investigate the geology and mineralogy of sericite one and its host-rock together with the alteration processes and age of sericitization. Geological survey, polarizing microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, electron microprobe analysis, X-ray fluorescent analysis, differential thermal analysis, and K/Ar isotope study have been employed for this study. The mine area is composed of Precambrian granite-gneiss and mica schist, and also Jurassic biotite granite. Serictization has occured within the granite-gneiss, and is interpreted to be formed by hydrothermal alteration. The sericite was formed by the breakdown of orthoclase, plagioclase, and biotite, respectively. With sericitization intensity increase, $SiO_2\;and\;Na_2O$ contents are decreased, while $Al_2O_3\;and\;K_2O$ increased. The formation age of sericite has been determined to be Jurassic, which corresponds well to the intrusion age of the biotite granite nearby.

A muscovite and a sericite altered from plagioclase taken from the Sungyeong tin-bearing pegmatite near the Sangdong mine are dated by K-Ar method. The muscovite and the sericite yield $1546.94{\pm}29.4\;Ma$ and $187.80{\pm}4.19\;Ma$,respectively. The muscovite age can be assumed to become younger than the previously reported K-Ar muscovite ages of the pegmatites around this area, because radiogenic argon in the muscovite could be partially lost by the heat of later hydrothermal activities which caused the plagioclase to be sericitized in the Jurassic time (about 190 Ma).

Desorption characteristics for ions adsorbed onto sericite was performed by means of $HNO_3$ solution which was selected as the best desorbing agent in the previous work. Elution of nickel ions adsorbed onto sericite using $HNO_3$ solution was confirmed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) & energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis. Desorption efficiency for nickel ions was 100% at the 20 mM of concentration. Also, nickel ions was completely desorbed within 1.0 of S/L (mg/mL) ratio which is defined as the ratio of adding amount of adsorbent and volume of desorbing agent and desorption process was quickly carried out within 60min. Finally, removal efficiency of reused sericite for nickel ions was constantly maintained until the 4th cycle.

The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of various clay materials on the growth and change in mineral composition of soybean sprout. Further effect of sericite concentration on growth of soybean sprout was optimized. The experiments were carried by using three different viz., loess supernatant, tap water and sericite supernatant. From the obtained results it was found that a significant growth in soybean sprouts was observed while using sericite supernatant this growth was 14.71% and 50% more total growth than that of loess supernatant and tap water. In addition, using sericite supernatant the length of root of soybean sprouts was reached 17.30% and 36.50% longer than that of tap water and loess supernatant. The plausible reason for this growth using sericite supernatant may be due to the presence of various mineral($K^+$, $Ca^+$) in sericite. Further the mineral contents of sericite supernatant were 11.56% and 13.48% more than that for loess supernatant and tap water. Among the various sericite concentration used it was found that 100g/L sericite supernatant showed significant growth rate compared with other fractions. From the obtained results comparing with all materials 100g/L sericite concentration was economic for the cultivation of soybean sprout.

The ores of the Bobae mine are mainly composed of sericite and quartz, and with appreciable amount of some other minerals such as andalusite. pyrophyllite, and albite, etc.. Sericite occurs in various a1teration zones having different crystal size and habit. Sericites can be c1assified into two types based on the crystal size; fine-grained and coarse-grained sericite. Fine-grained sericite occurs as an aggregate. Mineralogical characterizations of both types of sericites have been studied with various methods. Lattice parameters of two types of sericites occurred in various alteration zones are almost identical. but b parameter of coarse-grained sericite appears to be slight1y bigger than that of fine-grained aggregates. Average structural formula of fine- and coarse-grained sericite is $K_{1.44}Al_{3.86}(Si_{6.35}Al_{1.65})O_{20}(OH)_4$ and $K_{1.71}Al_{3.82}(Si_{6.20}Al_{1.80})O_{20}(OH)_4$, respectively. Structural formulae of coarse-grained sericites are close to that of muscovite. Infrared spectra show that there is slight distinction between sericites occurred in andalusite-pyrophyllite zone and other subzones. IR spectra of sericites due to Si-O vibration ($540{\sim}530cm^{-1}$) tend to shift to smaller wavenumber side from center to outer alteration zone. All samples have litt1e or no interstratified minerals. and this is demonstrated by Ir and DTA-TG results. It indicates that the Bobae mine is formed at relatively high temperature. That the ratio of quartz to sericite in ores varies greatly indicates that several discontinuous hydrothermal alteration processes have been involved.
