Cost effective clay adsorptive microfiltration membranes were synthesized to remove Cr (III) from high polluted water. Raw and calcined bentonite were mixed in order to decrease the shrinkage and also increase the porosity; then, 20 wt% of carbonate was added and the samples, named B (without carbonate) and B-Ca20 (with 20 wt% calcium carbonate) were uniaxially pressed and after sufficient drying, fired at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. Then, physical and mechanical properties of the samples, their phase analyses and microstructure and also their ability for Cr(III) removal from high polluted water (including 1000 ppm Cr (III) ions) were studied. Results showed that the addition of calcium carbonate lead the porosity to increase to 33.5% while contrary to organic pore formers like starch, due to the formation of wollastonite, the mechanical strength not only didn't collapse but also improved to 36.77 MPa. Besides, sample B-Ca20, due to the presence of wollastonite and anorthite, could remove 99.97% of Cr (III) ions. Hence, a very economic and cost effective combination of membrane filtration and adsorption technology was achieved for water treatment which made microfiltration membranes act even better than nanofiltration ones without using any adsorptive nano particles.

The viscosity effect of matrix polymer on melt exfoliation behavior of an organoclay in poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) (PCL) was investigated. The viscosity of matrix polymer was controlled by changing the molecular weight of poly($\varepsilon$-eaprolactone), the processing temperature, and the rotor speed of a mini-molder. Applied shear stress facilitates the diffusion of polymer chains into the gallery of silicate layers by breaking silicate agglomerates down into smaller primary particles. When the viscosity of PCL is lower, silicate agglomerates are not perfectly broken into smaller primary particles. At higher viscosity, all of silicate agglomerates are broken down into primary particles, and finally into smaller nano-scale building blocks. It was also found that the degree of exfoliation of silicate layers is dependent upon not only the viscosity of matrix but thermodynamic variables.

The chemical compatibility of leachate with the two natural materials was analyzed by performing the hydraulic conductivity test. The selected liner materials were natural marine clay and weathered soil sampled from Kimpo wastefill and Daehwa Dong, Kyonggi Do, respectively. PARAFIX, which is mainly composed of paraffin, cement, stearic acid, PVA etc., was used as solidifying agent. The chemical solutions used in the test were 10% acetic acid, 10% methanol, and real leachate from Kimpo wastefill and the results of tests were compared with that of distilled water. The results of tests show that hydraulic conductivity of solidified clay was increased slightly with permeation of acetic acid, methanol and the increase of hydraulic conductivity was not shown with permeation of leachate, distilled water and in case of weathered soil. Based on the tests, it is ascertained that the tested liner materials can be stable with the solution of low concentration.

The purpsoe of this study was to produce domestic stamping materials; sling mass which could be used as unburned refractory for iron melt'ladle. Batch compositions were based on Belgian Ladelite; mineral compositions were composed of 84 wt% of quartz and 16 wt% of clay, and particle sizes were divided into 12 wt% of 1410/297㎛, 18wt% 297/149㎛, 20wt% of 149/74㎛, 11wt% 74/44㎛ and 39wt% 44㎛ under. The effect of variable batch compositions were also investigated such as substitution of pyrophylite or industrial grade alumina for quartz and of zircon for portion of quartz and clay, increase of clay and addition on sericite. Samples were pressed at 100kg/㎠ with 7.4wt% of water or 7.4wt% of 4 wt% PVA solution. Dried and Fired properties of samples such as linear shrinkage, apparent porosity, modulus of rupture, refractoriness and corrosion resistance to blast furnace slag were investigated. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Dried samples are shrinked, but fired at 700-1400℃ expanded. Samples fired at 700-1000℃ and 1200-1400℃ tended to expand with incresing of firing temperature, but fired at 1000-1200℃ tended to shrink with increase of firing temperature. 2. Apparent porosity of samples fired at 700℃ is increased, but fired at 1200-1400℃ decreased with increasing of firing temperature. 3. Modulus of rupture of samples fired at 700℃ is decreased, but fired at above 700℃ increased with increasment of firing temperature. 4. Dried samples with 7.4 wt% of 4 wt% PVA solution better improve modulus of rupture than with 7.4 wt% of water, but the firing strength of the sampels fired at 700-1000℃ is showed reversely. 5. In quartz-clay system, mineral phases of samples fired at above 1200℃ are consisted of α-quartz, α-cristobalite and mullite. Respectively as firing temperature was rising up, intensity of α-cristobalite and mullite is in creased. 6. Quartz-Kibushi clay system, Kimcheun quartz(substitutuion of portion of industrial grade alumina for quartz) Hampyeung clay system and pyrophyllite-clay system are better in corrosion resistance to blast furnace slag than burned pyrophyllite brick. 7. 84 wt% of pyrophyllite-16wt% of clay system is superior in modulus of rupture and corrosion resistance to blast furnace slag to 84 wt% of quartz-16 wt% of clay system.

To improve the utilization rate of phosphate tailings (PTs) and widen the sources of subgrade filler, the PTs is employed to modify clay, forming a PTs modified clay, applied in the subgrade. Accordingly, the environmental friendliness of PTs was investigated. Subsequently, an optimal proportion was determined through compaction and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) experiments. Afterward, the stability of mixture with the optimal proportion was further evaluated through the water stability and dry-wet stability experiments. Finally, via the gradation and microstructure experiments, the strength mechanism of PTs modified clay was analyzed. The results show that the PTs were classified in the non-hazardous solid wastes, belonging to Class A building materials. With the increase of PTs content and the decrease of clay content, the optimum water content and the swelling degree gradually decrease, while the maximum dry density and CBR first increase and then decrease, reaching their peak value at 50% PTs content, which is the optimal proportion. The resilient modulus of PTs modified clay at the optimal proportion reaches 110.2 MPa. The water stability coefficient becomes stable after soaking for 4 days, while the dry-wet stability coefficient decreases with the increase of cycles and tends to be stable after 8 cycles. Under the long-term action, the dry-wet change has a greater adverse impact than continuous soaking. The analysis demonstrates that the better strength mainly comes from the skeleton role of PTs and the cementation of clay. The systematic laboratory test results and economic analysis collectively provide data evidence for the advantages of PTs modified clay as a subgrade filler.

Styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer(SBS)/Clay nanocomposites were prepared by melt mixing method with organic clay modified with dimethyl dihydrogenated-tallow amine(Cloisite 15A) and methyl tallow bis (2-hydroxy-ethyl) amine(Cloisite 30A), respectively. From the results of XRD, we found that mono layered silicates were dispersed in SBS matrix and they were exfoliated nanocomposites. Mechanical properties of exfoliated SBS nanocomposites were more improvedl than those of SBS. Especially, it was found that the addition of small amount of organoclay was enough to improve mechanical properties without increasing hardness.

In the last century, mainly our cultures destroyed a lot of ourselves as well as of our natural environment by deterioration, pollution and exploitation. Building activities are for a third responsible for these disasters and they are fully the reason for the growing Sick Building Syndrome. In result, Materials of the building should be derived as much as possible from nature, and walls should be made of yellow soil, or of bricks made from yellow soil The adobe can easily have larger or smaller dimensions, and different thickness as weil, according to the purpose for which they are meant, and the structural load-bearing function they have to fulfill. In spite of the importance of clay, research or experiment of clay has been quite weak. However, in stead of endowing the clay with the value as natural architectural material, we want to evaluate it as an important element of the environment.
