New process for the preparation of the artificially soild cloth (ASC) used for detergency evaluation was developed and its detergency was also studied. ASC was prepared by the dipping of cotton cloth in the water in which oily soil, protein (gelatine), carbon black and clay had been dispersed. The clay used for this ASC was red yellowish soil around Mt. Kumjung and was a typical soil in Pusan area. Adhesive status of soil at prepared ASc was examined by an electron microscope, and crystallyzation and color change of used clay were evaluated with the determination of X-ray diffraction and surface reflectance. For the evaluation of detergency by the washing with commercial and model detergents, the behavior of soil removal from this ASC comparing with naturally soiled collar cloth was examined. Those results are summerized as followings; 1) Adhesive ststus of soil at prepared ASc was very similar to that of naturally soiled collar cloth. 2) A crystalline of clay calcined at $800^{\circ}C$ was disappeared in part and color of calcined clay changed into reddish yellow by the decomposition of organic matters. 3) More uniform ASc was prepared with clay calcined at $800^{\circ}C\;that\;200^{\circ}C$ however its detergency prepared from clay calcined at $800^{\circ}C$ was poor 4) A significant relationship between the content of inorganic matter in ASc and K/S value was found, however no significant result between the content of protein contaminated and K/S value was observed. 5) Detergency of prepared ASc had a very similar to that of naturally soiled collar cloh.

Polypropylene (PP)-layered silicate nanocomposites were developed using a new processing method involving a supercritical carbon dioxide ($scCO_2$)-assisted co-rotating twin-screw extrusion process. The nanocomposites were prepared through two step extrusion processes. In the first step, the PP/clay mixture was extruded with $CO_2$ injected into the barrel of the extruder and the resulting foamed extrudate was cooled and pelletized. In the second step, the foamed extrudate was extruded with venting to produce the final PP/clay nanocomposites without $CO_2$. In this study, organophilic-clay and polypropylene matrix were used. Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MA) was used as a compatibilizer. This study focused on the effect of $scCO_2$ on the dispersion characteristics of the clays into a PP matrix and the rheological properties of the layered silicate based PP nanocomposites. The dispersion properties of clays in the nanocomposites as well as the rheological properties of the nanocomposites were examined as a function of the PP-g-MA concentration. The degree of dispersion of the clays in the nanocomposites was analyzed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope. Various rheological properties of the nanocomposites were measured using a rotational rheometer. In the experimental results, the $scCO_2$ assisted continuous manufacturing extrusion system was used to successfully produce the organophilic-clay filled PP nanocomposites. It was found that $scCO_2$ had a measurable effect on the clay dispersion in the polymer matrix and the melt intercalation of a polymer into clay layers.

The Janghang smelter is the first lead, zinc and copper smelting facility in Korea which was operated for a half century from 1936 to 1989. The clay minerals and their heavy metal association in the soil profile around the smelter have been studied using XRD, EPMA, SEM-EDS, TEM, EPR and sequential extraction techniques. The soils in A horizon are highly acidic showing pH 4.45. The pH is going up with increasing depth. They have residual water contents of 1.18-1.51 wt%, loss on ignition of 6.32-7.79 wt%, and carbon contents of 0.08-0.88 wt%. Soils consist of quartz, feldspar, muscovite, kaolinite, vermiculite, biotite, chlorite, goethite and hematite in the decreasing abundance. The contents of clay minerals, especially vermiculite and chlorite, decrease with increasing depth. Sequential extraction experiments for the profile samples show that heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd) are highly concentrated in the A horizon of the soil profile as water-extractable (mostly amorphous), MgCl2-extractable (exchangeable in clay minerals), and organic phases. The heavy metal contents decrease with increasing depth. It suggests that the heavy metals are mainly associate with clay minerlas in an exchangeable state. It is also noted that heavy metals are highly concentrated in the manganese and iron oxide phases.

High-performance fiber-reinforced cement composites (HPFRCC) are new materials created and used to repair, strengthen, and improve the performance of different structural parts. When exposed to tensile tension, these materials show acceptable strain-hardening. All of the countries of the globe currently seem to have a need for these building materials. This study aims to create a low-carbon HPFRCC (high ductility) that is made from materials that are readily available locally which has the right mechanical qualities, especially an increase in tensile strain capacity and environmental compatibility. In order to do this, the effects of fiber volume percent (0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 2%), and determining the appropriate level, filler type (limestone powder and silica sand), cement type (ordinary Portland cement, and limestone calcined clay cement or LC3), matrix hardness, and fiber type (ordinary and oxygen plasma treated polypropylene fiber) were explored. Fibers were subjected to oxygen plasma treatment at several powers and periods (50 W and 200 W, 30, 120, and 300 seconds). The influence of the above listed factors on the samples' three-point bending and direct tensile strength test results has been examined. The results showed that replacing ordinary Portland cement (OPC) with limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) in mixtures reduces the compressive strength, and increases the tensile strain capacity of the samples. Furthermore, using oxygen plasma treatment method (power 200 W and time 300 seconds) enhances the bonding of fibers with the matrix surface; thus, the tensile strain capacity of samples increased on average up to 70%.

Assessment of soil carbon stock is essential for climate change mitigation and soil fertility. The digital soil mapping (DSM) is well known as a general technique to estimate the soil carbon stocks and upgrade previous soil maps. The aim of this study is to calculate the soil carbon stock in the top soil layer (0 to 30 cm) in Jeolla Province of South Korea using the DSM technique. To predict spatial carbon stock, we used Cubist, which a data-mining algorithm model base on tree regression. Soil samples (130 in total) were collected from three depths (0 to 10 cm, 10 to 20 cm, 20 to 30 cm) considering spatial distribution in Jeolla Province. These data were randomly divided into two sets for model calibration (70%) and validation (30%). The results showed that clay content, topographic wetness index (TWI), and digital elevation model (DEM) were the most important environmental covariate predictors of soil carbon stock. The predicted average soil carbon density was 3.88 kg·m-2. The R2 value representing the model's performance was 0.6, which was relatively high compared to a previous study. The total soil carbon stocks at a depth of 0 to 30 cm in Jeolla Province were estimated to be about 81 megatons.

The fate of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) in ground water is highly affected by the distribution and property of the carbonaceous materials (CMs) in subsurface sediments. CMs in soils consist of organic matters (e.g., cellulose, fulvic acid, humic acid, humin, etc.) and black carbon such as char, soot, etc. The distribution and property of CMs are governed by source materials and geological evolution (e.g., diagenesis, catagenesis, etc.) of them. In this study, the distribution and property of CMs in subsurface sediments near the Imjin river in the Republic of Korea and HOC sorption property to the subsurface sediments were investigated. The organic carbon contents of sand and clay/silt layers were about 0.35% and 1.37%, respectively. The carbon contents of condensed form of CMs were about 0.13% and 0.45%, respectively. The existence of black carbon was observed using scanning electron microscopes with energy dispersive spectroscopy. The specific surface areas (SSA) of CMs in heavy fraction(HFrCM) measured with N2 were $35-46m^2/g$. However, SSAs of those HFrCM mineral fraction was only $1.6-4.3m^2/g$. The results of thermogravimetric analysis show that the mass loss of HFrCM was significant at $50-200^{\circ}C$ and $350-600^{\circ}C$ due to the degradation of soft form and condensed form of CMs, respectively. The trichloroethylene (TCE) sorption capacities of sand and clay/silt layers were similar to each other, and these values were also similar to oxidzed layer of glacially deposited subsurface sediments of the Chanute Air Force Base (AFB) in Rantoul, Illinois. However, these were 7-8 times lower than TCE sorption capacity of reduced layer of the Chanute AFB sediments. For accurate prediction of the fate of hydrophobic organic contaminants in subsurface sediments, continuous studies on the development of characterization methods for CMs are required.

저밀도폴리에틸렌에 첨가되는 무적제와 장수제가 수지의 열분해에 미치는 영향과 폐수지에 함께 포함되어 수집되는 황토 성분 및 촉매로서의 실리카-알루미나 계열의 무기물이 수지의 연료유 변환 반응에 미치는 영향을 열분석기(열중량분석기, 시차주사열량계)와 배치형 반응기에서 살펴보았다. TGA 실험에서 무적제, 장수제, 황토의 첨가는 LDPE 만의 열분해에 비하여 최대열분해속도 온도($T_{max}$)를 증가시켰다. 실리카알루미나 계열 무기물은 활성백토, 규조토, 벤토나이트, 퍼라이트, 고령토 순으로 반응속도를 증가시켰다. DSC 실험에서 무적제와 황토가 첨가되면 LDPE 수지만의 경우보다 융해열과 열분해열을 낮추는 효과를 보였다. 실리카-알루미나 계열에서는 벤토나이트 첨가 시가 융해열을 20% 정도, 열분해열은 25% 정도 감소시켰다. 회분식 반응기에서 황토를 첨가 할 경우 초기 연료유 생성 속도는 다소 낮으나 최종 오일 수율은 높아지는 효과를 보였다. 실리카-알루미나 계열의 촉매에서는 벤토나이트 첨가 시가 오일 수율 향상이 높게 나타났다. 탄소분석에서는 전체적으로 무촉매 열분해실험에서보다는 무적제나 장수제 첨가 시 생성 연료유의 탄소 수가 낮은 쪽으로 이동되었다. 황토 첨가 시는 $C_{12}$ 이하의 휘발유 성분이 감소되었다. $C_{23}$ 이하의 성분 함유량은 벤토나이트, 퍼라이트, 고령토, 활성백토 첨가 시 무촉매 열분해의 경우 보다 증가하였으나 규조토 첨가 시는 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 실험에 사용된 실리카-알루미나 계열의 무기물 중 벤토나이트가 열분해열과 연료유 수율 및 연료유 특성을 고려하여 가장 유효하였다.

점토광물은 대기부터 지하수에 이르는 크리티컬존(critical zone) 영역에서 금속과 탄소 순환을 결정짓는 역할을 한다. 계산광물학 연구방법 중에 하나인 분자동역학(molecular dynamics) 시뮬레이션은 지구물질을 원자단위로 계산하기 때문에, 점토광물의 물리화학적 현상들에 대해 원자수준의 자세한 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 이번 연구에서는 clayFF 힘 장(force field)을 사용한 분자동역학 시뮬레이션을 이팔면체 점토광물인 깁사이트(gibbsite, $Al(OH)_3$), 카올리나이트(kaolinite, $Al_2Si_2O_5(OH)_4$), 파이로필라이트(pyrophyllite, $Al_2Si_4O_{10}(OH)_2$)에 적용하여 300 K, 1기압조건에서 각 광물이 가지는 격자상수와 원자간 거리를 계산하고 실험결과와 비교하였다. 더불어 수산기의 방향성 및 수소결합의 양상 그리고 파워스펙트럼(power spectrum)을 추가적으로 계산하였다. 계산 결과, 격자상수는 기존의 실험결과와 약 0.1~3.7% 미만의 오차율을 보였으며, 원자간 거리는 실험결과와 약 5% 미만의 차이를 가졌다. 깁사이트나 카올리나이트의 팔면체층 표면에 존재하는 수산기가 가지는 신축진동파수(stretching vibrational wavenumber)는 실험값 보다 약 $200-300cm^{-1}$ 높게 계산되었지만, 팔면체층 표면에 존재하는 수산기들의 상대적 크기의 경향은 기존 실험 결과와 일치하였다. 팔면체층 표면의 수산기가 (001)면과 이루는 각도도 기존 실험결과와 상당부분 일치한 반면에 내부 수산기의 경우는 다소 차이를 보였다. ClayFF를 사용한 분자동역학 시뮬레이션 연구 방법은 이팔면체 점토광물 표면 내(층간) 금속이온 흡착에 대한 수산기의 역할을 규명하는데 유용한 연구방법이 될 수 있음을 시사한다.

Consolidation properties were analysed by means of depositional environments. Depositional environments including geochemical properties, porewater chemistry, sediment structures, particle size distributions and carbon age dating were analysed using undisturbed samples retrieved successively from a boring hole in the study area. Laboratory oedometer tests and anisotropic consolidated triaxial tests(CKoUC) were performed to examine the overconsolidation phenomenons. Based on the carbon age dating results and profiles of geochemical properties, porewater chemistry, salinity and pH, it was founded that the upper silt/clay complex layer was deposited under marine condition while sand and clay layers were deposited under fluvial condition. Planar laminated structures of silts and clays were dominant in marine deposits. Although there was no clear evidences that geological erosion had been occurred in marine deposits, overconsolidation ratio obtained from oedometer tests were greater than unity. Stress paths of samples behaved similar to those of normally consolidated clays. Data plotted in stress state charts proposed by Burland(1990) and Chandler(2000) showed that the marine deposits were geologically normally consolidated. These apparent overconsolidations can be explained by the fabric and chemical bonding due to the difference of the rate of deposition.
