Measurements of phase identification and degree of orientation for fine-grained (about 0.3 mm in diameter) minerals in rock samples performed by micro-area X-ray diffractometer.$Al_{2}SiO_{5}$ polymorphs (andalusite, kyanite and sillimanite) were chosen for the measurements and target minerals were existed on thin sections. Micro-area X-ray diffractometer is composed of 3(${\omega}\;{\chi}\;{\phi}$)-circle oscillating goniometer and position sensitive proportional counter (PSPC). $CuK_{\alpha}$ radiation was used as X-ray source and a pin hole ($50\;\mu\textrm{m}$$ in diameter) collimator was selected to focus radiation X-ray onto the target minerals. Phase identification and diffracted X-ray peak indexing were carried out by 3(${\omega}\;{\chi}\;{\phi}$)-circle oscillation measurement. Then, 2(${\omega}\;{\phi}$)-circle oscillation measurement was made for the purpose of searching the prevailing lattice plane of the minerals on thin section surface. Finally, for a selected peak by 2-circle oscillation measurement, X-ray pole figure measurement was executed for the purpose of check the degree of orientation of the single lattice direction and examine its pole distribution. As a result of 3-circle oscillation measurement, it was possible that phase identification among $Al_{2}SiO_{5}$ polymorphs. And from the results of 2-circle oscillation measurement and X-ray pole figure measurement, we recognized that poles of andalusite (122), kyanite (200) and sillimanite (310) lattice plances were well developed with direction normal to each mineral surface plane respectively. Therfore, the measurements used with micro-area X-ray diffractometer in this study will be a useful tool of phase identification and degree of orientation measurement for fine-grained rock forming minerals.

Imha lake has a high turbid water which keeps up during a few months, as comparing to other dams. Origins of the high turbid water derive from suspended materials which compose of micro particles of clay and rock-forming minerals. They are the weathered products from surface rocks that relate with particular geology in drainage field of the Imha dim. Accordingly we have fundamentally surveyed the kinds, properties, distribution and structures of general geology, found a few particular geology that source clay materials, and traced the passage that their weathered products enter the dam. We have suggested the basic origins of increase in turbid degree from detecting kinds and behavior of the suspended materials cause high turbid water in the Imha lake.

Mafic microgranular enclaves (MME) occur in the granites from the Bohyunsan area. The host granites are generally of granodioritic and granitic compositions. The MME can be divided into magic mineral clusters, quartz diorite and diorite according to their occurrence. Halter variation diagrams show linear trends between the MME and the host granites. Though the rim compositions of plagioclase in the host granites and the MME are similar the core compositions of plagioclase in some host granites show abnormally high An content. The Mg/(Mg+Fe) ratio of hornblende in the host granites gradually increase from the core to the rim. The chemical composition of minerals in the host granites had been affected by more marc magma composition. The modelling of major elements of the MME and hybrid host granites also indicate that they result from simple mingling/mixing between a dioritic magma and the host granite magma. The MME are thus interpreted to be globules of a more mafic magma which intruded the granite magma. Partial equilibration has been achieved between the MME and the host granites after they were commingled with each other.

우리 나라에서 토양의 점토광물에 관한 최초의 연구는 1958년 김제지방의 답 토양에 관한 연구로 (Dewan, 1958)시작되었다. 1960년대 시작하여 1970년대 까지는 주로 토양점토광물의 동정이 이루어 졌다. 점토광물의 동정(同定)에 사용된 잔적토(殘積土)(Residual Soil)로는 화강암(花崗岩), 화강편마암(花崗片麻岩), 현무암(玄武岩), 석회암(石灰岩), 혈암(頁岩), 제(第)3기층(紀層), 홍적층(洪積層) 유래 토양과 토양종류별(土壤種類別)로는 과부식회색토(寡腐植灰色土), 염류토(鹽類土), 충적토(沖積土), 적황색토(赤黃色土), 화산회토(火山灰土), 퇴적토(堆積土), 갈색토(褐色土), 암쇄토(岩碎土), 저위생산답(低位生産畓)이였으며, 토양점토광물(土壤粘土鑛物)과 작물수량성(作物收量性) 관계에 관한 연구가 실시되었다. 1980년대에 들어와서는 토양중의 1차광물과 점토광물의 풍화에 대한 안정도와 1차광물의 동정이 행해졌으며, 이밖에 Kaolinite 입자의 전하에 관한 연구등 점토광물의 흡착과 활성 연구, 점토광물의 토양개량재로서의 흡착과 화학적 특성 변화 연구와 점토광물의 토양개량 시용효과에 관한 연구가 행해졌다. 1990년대에 들어와서는 토양 중의 1차광물과 점토광물의 정량에 대한 자료가 축척되었고, 토양의 풍화에 대한 안정성과 생성기작, Zeolite와 새로운 광물이 합성되었다. 또한 합성광물을 이용한 농업과 산업광물로의 응용성 환경 산업에서의 적용가능성에 대한 평가가 시도되었다. 토양의 점토광물의 조성에 관한 연구는 토양 모재를 중심으로 이루어졌는데, 화강암(花崗岩)에서는 Halloysite, 화강편마암(花崗片麻岩)에서는 Kaolinite, Metahalloysite, Illite, 산성암(酸性岩)에서는 Kaolinite, Venrmiculite와 Chlorite의 중간광물, 현무암(玄武岩)에서는 Illite, Kaolinite, Vermiculite, 석회암(石灰岩)에서는 Vermiculite-Chlorite 중간광물, Kaolinite와 Illite, 혈암(頁岩)에서는 Kaolinite, Halloysite, Illite 외 Vermiculite-Chlorite, 화산회토(火山灰土)에서는 Allophane이 주광물이었다. Soil Taxonomy와 토양광물과의 관계에서, 답 토양에서는 Entisols의 주점토광물은 2:1형과 1:1형 광물이지만 Inceptisols와 Alfisols에서는 Halloysite가 대부분이다. 밭 토양의 경우는 Alfisols의 주점토광물은 Vermiculite, Illite, Kaolinite이었고, Ultisols에서는 Vermiculite-Chlorite 중간광물이었다. 산림토양에서는 Inceptisols중에서 Andept는 Allophane, Alfisols에서는 2:1 광물이지만, Ultisols에서는 Halloysite이다. 모재별 조암 광물의 풍화와 점토광물의 생성과정에서 화강암(花崗岩)과 화강편마암(花崗片麻岩)의 장석류(長石類)는 kaoline광물로, 이 밖의 운모광물(雲母鑛物), 녹니석(綠泥石), 각섬석(角閃石), 휘석(輝石)으로부터 생성된 illite, chlorite, vermiculite는 풍화중간에 혼층단계(混層段階)를 거쳐서 kaoline 광물로 풍화된다. 석회암(石灰岩) 토양의 smectite가 Mg농도가 높은 토양용액으로부터 침전되어 생성되었거나 운모 또는 chlorite에서 유래된 vermiculite의 변성작용에 의해 생성되고, 혈암(頁岩)토양의 점토에 illite가 주로 풍화에 저항성이 큰 미립자의 함수백운모(含水白雲母)로부터 유래되며, 현무암(玄武岩) 중의 장석류(長石類)는 kaoline광물로, 휘석(輝石)은 chlorite${\rightarrow}$illite의 풍화과정을 거친다. Zeolite, 함불석 Bentonite, Bentonite 등 우량점토 광물이 분포과 광물조성, 이화학적 특성이 조사되었고, 토양의 물리적, 화학적 성질의 개선을 필요로 하는 토양의 개량을 위해서 Bentonite, Zeolite, Vermiculite 등의 토양 개량재(改良材)로서의 기초연구와 이들 개량재 시용효과에 관한 연구 등이 주로 논토양에서 수행되었다. 점토광물과 수량관계를 보면 Montmorillonite를 주점토광물로 함유된 답 토양의 수도수량이 1:1 광물을 주점토광물로 함유하고 있는 토양에서의 수도수량 보다 높았다. 토양광물에 관한 기초연구(基礎硏究)로서 양이온교환능과 포화이온의 영향, 입자의 전기화학적 성질, 흡탈착 성질, 표면적과 등전점, 해성점토에 대한 압밀점토(壓密粘土)의 변형율(變形率)의 추정 등이 주로 연구되었다. 부가가치가 낮거나 폐기되는 광물을 이용하여 토양개량재 혹은 흡착제를 형성하는 연구가 알카리 처리에 의한 Zeolite 합성에 집중되었다.

Sericite is a clay mineral that has a wide applications in the industry, depending on its purity. To maintain sericite's purity as high as possible it is necessary to remove its gangue minerals or control their contents prior to use for high value-added products and applications. In this study, the wet beneficiation of sericite by applying selective grinding and sedimentation techniques, were investigated. The ore mineral was composed mainly of sericite, quartz and calcite. Analysis showed that the content of sericite increased along with the particle size decrease, but the contents of impurity minerals as quartz and calcite were tended to decrease relatively with particle size decrease. The results of liberation tests using an attrition scrubber showed that the increase in residence time and slurry density have increased the generation of fine particles in -325 mesh size range. It was observed, however, that the contents of impurities such as quartz and calcite in such fine particles also increased during prolonged scrubbing. In the dispersed form without breaking, the yield of the recovered concentrate was 15.4 wt% and the $K_2O$ content was 9.84 wt%, after the dispersed slurry was allowed to settle for 20 minutes. On the other hand, the concentrate yield was increased to 23.4 wt% after 10 minute attrition scrubbing and 40 minute sedimentation, while its $K_2O$ content was decreased to 9.71 wt%. Most of final products were observed as platelet-shaped particles containing Si, Al and K which are main component of sericite.

This study reports on the genesis and mineralogical characteristics of the clay minerals in the soils derived from the five major parent rocks of granite, granite-gneiss, limestone, shale, and basalt in Korea. The investigation on the mineralogical aspects of primary and secondary minerals of the rocks and coarse fractions in the soils have been already reported. In this report, the identification of clay minerals in the soil clay fractions was done through the analyses of chemical, X-ray diffraction, and thermal methods. The studies showed clearly that much of the clay minerals was evolved by the weathering of primary minerals and some were further developed by the transformation of secondary minerals. Cation exchange capacity(CEC) of the clay fractions increased with higher amotunts of vermiculite, chlorite, and illite, however, decreased with higher hydroxy octahedral sheet within the interlayer spaces of vermiculite even if dominant clay with vermiculite. Feldspars in the granite and granite-gneiss might be completely transformed to kaolin mineral, Illite, chlolrite, and vermiculite formed by the alteration of micas, amphibole, augite, and primary chlorile seem to be subsequently transformed to the mixed layer minerals such as illite/vermiculite, illite/chlorite, and chlorite/vermiculite. These weathering products may be ultimately transformed into kaolin minerals. The smectite minerals in the clay fractions of the soils developed on the limestone are considerably present and they seem to be formed directly by the precipitation from high Mg solution and/or by the transformation of vermiculite from micas and chlorite in the parent materials. Abundant presence of illite in the soil clays developed on the shale is considered to have inherited from the fine particles and more resistant hydrous muscovite. The weathering sequences of the hydrous muscovite were as follows according to the degree of soil development ; hydrous muscovite ${\rightarrow}$ illite/vermiculite mixed layer(Inceptisols, Daegu series) and hydrous muscovite ${\rightarrow}$ illite/vermiculite mixed layer ${\rightarrow}$ vermiculite ${\rightarrow}$ kaolin mineral(Alfisols, Buyeo series). The plagioclase in the basalt might be mostly weathered to kaolin minerais. The augite in the basalt is likely to be transformed through progressive stage of weathering, augite ${\rightarrow}$ chlorite ${\rightarrow}$ chlorote/vermiculite mixed layer ${\rightarrow}$ vermiculite ${\rightarrow}$ kaolin. Another weathering sequence of augite could be expected, augite ${\rightarrow}$ chlorite ${\rightarrow}$ illite by the presence of illite and illite/vermiculite mixed layer in the clay fractions. Vermiculite and gibbsite were quantified from thermogravimetry(TG) and kaolin minerals, from both TG and differerential thermal analysis (DTA). Vermiculite in Jangseong series from the limestone was the dominant clay mineral of 21.7 percent and had a range in the order of 9.2 percent in Buyeo series to 5.4 percent in Daegu series from the shale. The rest soils ranged from 8.8 to 28.3 percent. Kaolin minerals were the dominant clay mineral of 32.7 percent in Asan series from the granite-gneiss and Gueom series of 32.0 percent from the basalt. The soils from the limestone ranged from 9.4 to 14.9 percent. The rest soils ranged from 8.9 to 28.6 percent. Gibbsite were 3.9 and 2.3 percent for Weoljeong and Chahang series from the granite, respectively. In Asan and Cheongsan series from the giranite-gneiss were 1.4 and 4.5 percent, respectively, and 3.6 percent in Jangpa series from the basalt.
