Although clay can sorb significant amounts of inorganic contaminants from soils and wastewater, the hydration of exchangeable cations in clay minerals makes it hydrophilic at the clay mineral surfaces and interlayers. Thus, natural clays are often ineffective in complexing and stabilizing toxic organic contaminants in soils and groundwater environment. But, substituting these hydrated cations with cationic surfactant such as QAC(Quaternary ammonium Compound) can change the natural clay from hydrophilic to hydropobic. Furthermore functionalized organoclay can act as a powerful dual function sorbent for both toxic metals and organic compounds. It also can be used as landfill clay liners, slurry walls, nano-composite materials, petroleum tank farms, waste treatment, and filter systems. To use this modified clay minerals effectively, it is required to understand the fundamental chemistry of organoclay, synthetic procedures, its engineering application, bioavailability of sorbed ion-clay complex, and potential risk of organoclay. In this review, we investigate the use, application and historical background of the organoclay in remediation technology. The state-of-the-art of organoclay research is also discussed. Finally, we suggest some future implications of organoclay in environmental research.

Fly ash, plastic waste, and clay are mineral materials and residues commonly found in Malaysia. In this study, these materials were fully utilized as raw materials for synthesizing carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Recycled polypropylene, previously used as a food container, served as a carbon source. Fly ash and clay were explored as potential substrates for CNTs growth. The recycled polypropylene was thermally decomposed at 900 ℃ in an inert environment for 90 minutes. Carbon atoms released during this process were deposited on fly ash and clay substrates, which had been immersed in a ferrocene solution to provide a metal catalyst for CNTs growth. The deposited products were characterized using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Morphological analysis revealed that both fly ash and clay were coated with fiber-like structures, confirmed to be CNTs based on a diffraction peak around 26° from the XRD pattern. In conclusion, clay and fly ash demonstrate the potential to be utilized as substrates for CNTs formation.

실록산은 많은 소비 및 공업제품에 사용되고 있고 이들이 매립되어 발생되는 매립가스에는 휘발성 실록산을 포함한다. 휘발성 실록산을 포함한 매립가스를 가스엔진의 연료로 사용할 경우 매립가스내 휘발성 실록산은 가스엔진뿐만 아니라 전처리 시설에 큰 해를 입히게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 매립가스내 휘발성 실록산 흡착제로서 활성탄 대용으로 천연 점토광물인 질석과 일라이트를 사용해 이의 유용성을 검토하였다. 질석, 일라이트 및 활성탄의 SEM 및 BET 분석을 통해 이들의 물성값을 비교하였다. 또한 일라이트 및 질석을 흡착제로 사용하여 D5 실록산의 흡착용량을 평가 하였는바, 각각 1.7 g/g 일라이트 및 3.8 g/g 질석의 대단히 높은 흡착용량을 나타내었다.

The petrographic, geochemical, and physical properties of the Jangseong and Chinese coals were investigated. The most common mineral matters of Jangseong coal are kaolinite, muscovite, sericite, illite, quartz and pyrophyllite. Mineral matters in Chinese coal are mainly composed of quartz, calcite, dolomite and kaolinite. Jangseong coal ash has higher content of $Al_2O_3$, $K_2O$, $TiO_2$, As, Rb and V, and lower content of CaO, MgO, $Na_2O$, $Fe_2O_3$ and $P_2O_5$ than those of Chinese coal ash. The liquid limit and the plasticity index of Jangseong coal were compared with those of Chinese coal. The result shows that the briquetting ability of Jangseong coal is a little bit better than that of Chinese coal. The briquetting ability is found to be principally dependent on the type and the content of mineral matter in coal, especially clay mineral.

우리나라 제4기 고환경 변화 특성 규명을 위하여 수원시의 편마암 및 화강암 풍화대를 피복하는 적갈색 점토-실트 퇴적물 2개 단면(~3.5 m)에 대하여 광물 및 지화학 분석을 실시하였다. 퇴적층은 광물조성과 화학조성의 수직 변화를 기준으로 4개의 퇴적층(Unit 1-4)으로 구분되었다. 최하부 Unit 1은 K-장석 함량이 높은 사질 퇴적물로서 기반암 풍화물의 기여도가 높다. Unit 2는 전이층이며, Unit 3은 적갈색 점토-실트질 퇴적물로서 총점토 함량이 평균 58%이며, 주요 점토광물은 일라이트-스멕타이트 혼합층 광물과 수산기삽입질석/스멕타이트이다. Unit 3에는 사장석이 거의 함유되어 있지 않은 반면에, 그 풍화물인 고령토 광물의 함량이 다른 층들보다 높다. Unit 4는 전반적 광물조성과 화학적 특성이 Unit 3과 유사하나, 사장석과 녹니석의 함량이 더 높고 고령토 광물의 함량은 더 낮다. 단면내 화학성분 변화를 국내 타지역 적갈색 점토-실트층과 비교한 결과, Unit 3과 4는 풍성퇴적물의 범위에 포함되었다. 이 지역 퇴적 단면에서 고환경변화는 다음과 같이 해석된다. 기반암인 편마암과 화강암 풍화물이 침식되어 주변부에 사질 퇴적물로 퇴적되어 하부층(Unit 1, 2)을 이루고, 그 위에 빙하기의 점토-실트질 풍성퇴적물층(Unit 3)이 퇴적되었다. Unit 3은 간빙기의 풍화작용으로 풍화되어 전체적으로 적갈색 토양화되었다. 그 후 다시 빙하기로 접어들면서 최상부에 풍성퇴적물층(Unit 4)이 퇴적되었다.

In these days, it is actively investigated to use loess in textile industry. The loess have been reported for emissivity of far-infrared and negative ion, and antibacterial efficacy. The loess consist of quartz, feldspar, clay mineral, iron oxide mineral, gibbsite [Al(OH)$_3$], etc. The main component of loess is clay minerals which have great adsorption about ion exchange and far-infrared emission properties. Recently, various inner-wears, sheets, and interior goods are manufactured using the loess due to its improved blood circulation, metabolism, antibacterial and deodorizing properties. (omitted)

Montmorillonite is one of representative inorganic clay particles. As the characteristics of clay particulate matter in aqueous environment determine the efficiencies of wastewater treatment and some industrial operations, it is essential to understand its aquatic behavior in relation with turbidity. The change of electrokinetic potential of montmorillonite suspension shows that it tends to negatively increase as the pH of suspension increases. In addition, it is observed that its potential is around 0mV when the solution pH is ca. 5. The turbidity of suspension is shown to be very low when pH is lower than its isoelectric point. However, the turbidity gradually enhances according to beyond isoelectric point. These results reveal that the correlation between electrokinetic potential and turbidity for clay mineral suspension is peculiar which should be fundamentally considered for systematic treatment of wastewater.

Four clays (both natural and commercial types) mainly used in Korea were tested for removal efficiency of Microcystis spp. and ecotoxicity on Daphnia magna and Vibrio fischeri. Four clays (clay A~D) were composed of 91.9~100% of sand (0.02~0.2 mm in particle size). Clay D consisted of lager particles than other clays. Major elements of the four clays were $SiO_2$ (45.3~62.8%), $Al_2O_3$ (18.5~29.7%) and $Fe_2O_3$ (5.4~7.9%). They contained kaolinite (clay mineral), quartz, muscovite, and so on. Clay C and D contained montmorillonite, one of the clay minerals improving clay-cell aggregation. For clay A, B and C, removal efficiency of Microcystis spp. was over 60% at 2 g/L. It reached about 100% at over 5 g/L. For clay D, it was over 60% and 95~100% at 5 g/L and 20 g/L respectively. After adding clays, pH decreased. The greatest drop of pH appeared at clay C. Except for addition of 100 g/L clay C, ecotoxicity on D. magna and V. fischeri didn't appeared at all dose of clays.

Distribution of clay minerals separated from clay fraction of corn fields in Korea has been investigated along with their characterization. Crystalline phases of the clay minerals were identified by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, and their relative chemical compositions were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). The soils were found to have pH 6.4, organic matter $37.2g\;kg^{-1}$, available $P_2O_5$ $599mg\;kg^{-1}$, respectively, and exchangeable K, Ca and Mg were 1.2, 7.3 and $1.8cmol_c\;kg^{-1}$, respectively. Major primary minerals consisted mainly of quartz and mica, and kaolinite and chlorite were identified as major secondary clay minerals. For most of soils, mica phase was identified to be muscovite rather than biotite. The average contents of $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$ and $Fe_2O_3$ were 43.7, 23.6 and 8.8%, respectively, although they were different with the locations.
