We heat treated pure sapphire samples at $1800^{\circ}C{\sim}100$ hours in BeO-${Al_2}{O_3}$ powder by varying BeO contents of $5{\sim}50\;wt%$ in order to quantify the BeO diffusion enhancement for corundum gem stones. We investigated the heat treated samples with visual evaluation, color coordination analysis, and surface roughness measurement. We confirmed that $Be^{2+}$ ions did not lead to orange color but to dark gray. The lightness in CIE Lab index decreased while surface roughness increased rapidly as BeO contents increased. We propose that BeO yellow color enhancement may be feasible only for $Fe^{3+}$ rich blue sapphires and sub-5% BeO content be appropriate to shorten post re- cutting process.

This study investigated seven specimens of lead-glazed paving bricks in order to identify the materialistic characteristics of the lead glaze used for paving bricks during the late Unified Silla period in Korea. The samples were excavated from the Beopgwangsa Temple site, Pohang. As a result of observing the surface and cross-section of the glaze with a microscope, the study confirmed that the lead glaze demonstrates various traits of hydration, which were classified into four layers: Surface layer, hydration layer A, hydration layer B, and green layer. After measuring the composition of each layer with SEM-EDS analysis, the green layer was found to have been less affected by the external environment, which renders it highly reasonable to view the green layer as the original composition of the lead glaze. The green layer is a low-temperature glaze composed mainly of PbO and SiO₂ at a ratio of 8:2, with approximately 2% CuO acting as the main colorant. Comparing the green layer composition with those from Gyeongsang-do, it was confirmed that the mixture ratio of lead glaze materials was similar to other sites such as the Sacheonwangsa Temple site, the Cheonryongsa Temple site, and the Buseoksa Temple site.

The purpose of this study is to reveal the characteristics, correlations, and colorant materials of those using the chemical compositions of 30 glasses excavated from the Sarari hall of the Mireuksaji stone pagoda, and to determine the correlations between them and other glass excavated from the Wanggungri site. The results of the chemical analysis of the 11 glass beads show that they are a soda glass group with high contents of $SiO_2$ and $Na_2O$; these can be further subdivided into soda-alumina groups ($Na_2O-Al_2O_3-CaO-Si_2O$). The characteristics of the stabilizer are classified as being of the high alumina glass group (LCHA), except for two glasses. It was concluded that colorant materials affected the coloring for glass beads by various components including Ti, Mn, Fe, Cu and Pb. In addition, we examined six lead glasses which are glass plate and unknown fragments that are of a common lead glass system ($PbO-SiO_2$) with respect to the average contents of PbO (70wt.%) and $SiO_2$ (30wt.%). As a result of comparing these relics with those of the glass beads excavated by Wanggungri, there is a similarity in that they belong to the soda glass group. However, the contents of $Na_2O$ are relatively higher than that of the glass beads in the Mireuksaji pagoda, and most of relics include glasses with a low content of $K_2O$ and CaO. In addition, the PbO and $SiO_2$ contents are slightly different in the lead glass. It seems that the glass relics made at two different sites may have used different raw materials or techniques.

Although several studies have reported that Cr, Cu and As can leach from CCA-treated woods, few studies have been conducted on this topic in Korea. Therefore, this study was conducted to monitor Cr, Cu and As leaching from CCA-treated wood products and to develop a rapid identification method for CCA-treated wood products by using indicators such as PAN stain. Soil samples were collected at depths of 0-70 cm and wood samples were collected by thickness of wood layer. The soil and wood samples were then digested and analyzed for Cr, Cu and As concentrations using an atomic absorption spectrometer. The As and Cu concentrations decreased sharply with depth from 34.38 and 33.65 mg $kg^{-1}$ at 0-1 cm to 1.72 and 7.84 mg $kg^{-1}$ at 70 cm, respectively. In general, As was more mobile than Cr and Cu in the soil. For wood samples, the Cr, Cu and As concentrations were higher in the outer layer (0-0.5cm) than the inner layers (0.6-4.5cm). Evaluation of rapid identification methods revealed that 100% acetone with 0.1% PAN indicator was the best combination for detection of CCA-treated wood in the field.

투어멀린는 $XY_3Z_6(Si_6O_{18})(BO_3)_3$ 화학 방정식을 가진 광물로써 조성에 따라 alkali 투어멀린, calcic 투어멀린, X-site vacant 투어멀린 등으로 불린다. 투어멀린 특성과 화학성분에 따라 종을 구분하는데, 주된 종들은 엘바이트, 리디코타이트, 드라바이트, 우바이트, 숄이 있다. 일반적으로 적색 투어멀린의 발색 원인은 Mn, Fe 그리고 Cu의 함량에 따라 색상의 차이를 나타낸다. 본 연구에서 우리는 10MeV 에너지와 $1{\times}10^{17}cm^2$ 조건에서 전자빔을 수행 한 후 투어멀린의 컬러 변화를 관찰하였다. 자외선-가시광선 분광분석결과 모든 시료는 전자빔 조사 후 530 nm의 $Mn^{3+}$부근의 흡수 peak들이 증가하는 것이 관찰되었다. 이는 $Mn^{2+}$에서 $Mn^{3+}$ 이동 때문이여, $Mn^{3+}$는 Y-site에서 O(1)H-O(3)H 축에 따라 Jann-taller 변형으로 안정된 구조를 가지게 된다. 따라서 전자빔 조사 후 적색으로 변하게 되는 것이다. 또한 전자빔 조사 후 컬러가 모두 변했지만 상온에 뒀을 때 변화 된 컬러가 원래의 색으로 되돌아가는 향상을 보였다. 이는 전자빔 조사 후 전자가 튕겨져 나가서 불안정한 상태로 존재하고 있다가 상온의 열에 의한 에너지에 통해 다시 안정된 상태로 되돌아오는 결과로 볼 수 있다. 또한 우리는 WD-XRF를 통해 미량의 Mn 원소함량 차이에 따라 전자빔 조사 시 컬러 변화에 미치는 영향에 대해 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 적외선 분광분석에서는 4,300-4,600 $cm^{-1}$사이에 특징적인 밴드들이 관찰되었다.

It is known that the natural amethyst is changed to citrine after heat treatment. However, when all amethyst samples from Zambia were heat-treated in the temperature range of $350{\sim}380^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour, the result was that five out of eight samples were changed to citrine and all the rest of samples became rock crystal quartz. These differences in the color appearance seem to be influenced by the original colors contained in the amethyst before the heat treatment. The amethyst containing yellow color changed to citrine and the amethyst without containing yellow color changed to rock crystal quartz after the heat treatment. The results compared after the instrumental analysis on the difference of color change, it showed the differences of peak intensity in 3,400 $cm^{-1}$ and the existence and non-existence of peak at the range of 5,200${\sim}$5,400 $cm^{-1}$ in FTIR. It revealed the difference in the quantity of Cr which is a trace element in the WD-XRF analysis. The identical result in the FTIR spectra before and after the heat treatment reveals that the heat treatment did not cause any change in the main composing elements or crystal structure.

Composition analysis and lead isotope ratio analysis were conducted to determine the coloring machanism on lead glaze used in Gyeongbokgung Palace and the provenance of the lead used as a flux. 31 blue tiles were classified into green, blue, and yellow. The chemical analysis of lead glazes on the blue tiles revealed that Pb, Si, and Cu were the main components, and trace amounts of Fe, Ca, Mg, and Al were detected. The Cu content was high in blue lead glaze, while Cu was not detected in yellow or brown lead glaze which instead had high Fe content. Therefore, it was found that lead was used as a flux and copper oxide as a coloring agent in the production of lead glaze. In addition, the lead isotope ratios of the lead glaze used in the blue tiles of Gyeongbokgung palace were plotted in zone 3 on the distribution map of lead isotope ratios on the Korean Peninsula, which includes Chungcheong-do and Jeolla-do. It is presumed that the flux for the lead glaze was sourced from galena found in these regions. The lead isotope ratios of the green glaze from the Three Kingdoms and Unified Silla period were mostly located outside the Korean Peninsula, showing that the provenance of lead had changed. In particular, the lead isotope ratios of the green glaze from the Three Kingdoms and Unified Silla period suggest exchange with neighboring countries. Also the lead isotope ratios of the green glazes from the same temple are different, so it is believed that they were made at different times or in different workshops.

Pearl is the organic gemstone which does not come from mines but from the biomineralization inside mollusc. Mollusc with nacre on inner surface of the shell is inevitable to make pearl. In this paper we researched and analyzed the pearls cultured using Pen shell (Atrina pectinata) which is not used in pearl farming industry but has potential to make pearls because it has thick and beautiful nacre inside the shell. SEM analysis was conducted to reveal the pattern of nacre on the Atrina pectinata pearl. Specific characteristics as sea-water pearl are detected by further analysis with ED-XRF. Aragonite specific peaks such as $1083cm^{-1}$ and $705cm^{-1}$ were shown by Raman analysis. UV-Vis analysis of Atrina pectinata pearl showed different pattern of spectrum compared with Pinctada margaritifera pearl. The reason for this discrepancy is assumed by the metabolic difference of each species.

최근 국내 소비자들의 안전한 음식과 환경문제에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 재배작물과 경작지 토양의 물리 화학적 특성 등에 맞추어 적정 시비 및 재배관리를 적용하는 정밀농업이 시도되고 있다. 정밀농업은 농약 및 비료 등의 양을 적절하게 사용하여 생산 비용을 절감할 수 있으며, 과다사용을 막아 환경오염을 줄일 수 있다. 현재 토양의 수분, EC, pH등과 같은 항목은 신속하고 간단하게 분석이 가능하지만 토양의 필수 원소인 N, P, K 성분을 분석하는 제품은 상용화 되지 않았거나 가격이 비싸 일반 농가에서는 사용이 어렵다. 특히, 토양의 인을 현장에서 분석하기 위한 연구가 많이 수행되고 있으나 실제로 현장에서 사용되는 경우 또한 없는 상황이다. 일반적으로 토양에 포함되어 있는 인을 측정하기 위해서 많은 실험실에서는 이화학적 분석법을 사용하고 있다. 하지만 이 분석법은 오랜 시간과 전문적인 인력이 필요하며 주변 환경변화에 민감하여 실시간으로 분석하기에는 어렵다고 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현장에서 실시간으로 토양의 인을 분석하기 위해 반자동 분석시스템을 제작하고 이를 검증하고자 하였다. 이전 연구에서 현장 토양을 이용한 신속측정법의 가능성($R^2>0.7$)을 확인하여 이 분석법을 바탕으로 반자동 분석시스템을 제작하였고 표준결과 값의 약 70% 이상의 수준을 목표로 하였다. 진주 지역의 현장 토양 20개 샘플과 반자동 침출 장치, 여과 장치, 발색 장치 그리고 통합 반자동 시스템을 이용하여 분석한 후 표준 분석 결과와 비교하였을 때 $R^2$ 값이 각각 0.985, 0.817, 0.893, 0.837로 약 70% 이상의 수준을 달성하였다. 추후, 반자동 토양 인 신속측정시스템을 완전 자동화 시스템으로 개발하고 주행 장치를 부착시켜 현장에서 실시간으로 원하는 위치의 인을 측정 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
