AlSiCa powders were prepared from the domestic Hadong Kaolin ($Al_2O_3{\cdot}2SiO_2{\cdot}2H_2O$). As a result of the reaction of Hadong Kaolin and carbon powder at reducing atmosphere, $Al_2O_3{\cdot}SiC$ composite started to form at $1300^{\circ}C$ and completed at $1400^{\circ}C$. The optimum amount of carbon was 1:4 in mole ratio. It was found that only bright-green $\beta-SiC$ phase forms when the mixture was packed without carbon powder in alumina crucible.

In order to apply synthesis technique of the high purity ceramic powder to the traditional ceramic powder, mullite powder which is widly used for refractory materials was synthesized. Boehmite and Hadong kaolin with high alumina content were used as starting materials and gel coating method was tried to produce the mullite powder. As a result, the mullite powder of high quality was successfully obtained at 1350℃. The unreacted silica and cornudum were not observed in the synthesized mullite powder, mullite content was more than 80% when the starting materials were sintered at 1700℃. Their properties showed bulk specific gravity of 2.56, water absorption of 1.9%, and 3-point flexual strength of 169 MPa. It is thought that that their good properties are applicable to refractory materials of high quality.

In order to obtain the superior refractory setter having better spalling resistance, cordierite was synthesized from domestic raw materials. Raw mixtures were fired between 125$0^{\circ}C$ and 140$0^{\circ}C$, and qualitative determination of crytallization was investigated by x-ray diffraction analysis. The results obtained are as follows; 1) The optimum batch composition of synthesized cordierite is 80.5% of Hadong kaolin (pink), 14% of Kyulsung tromolite talc and 5.5% of magnesia clinker, and the firing temperature is 1375$^{\circ}C$. 2) The composition of the refractory setter which exhibits the best values for the thermal properties is 40% of synthesized cordierite, 30% of kaolin chamotte(contains more than 60% of mullite), and 30% of Japanese clay. 3) The optimum particle size distribution of ternary mixture consists of 50% of coarse articles (3.327-1.168mm), 25% of intermediate particles (1.168-0.208mm) and 25% of fine particles (0.208-0.000mm).

${\beta}$-Sialon powder was synthesized by the simultaneous reduction and nitridation of Hadong kaolin at 1350$^{\circ}C$ in N2-H2 atmosphere, using graphite as a reducing agent. The synthesized ${\beta}$-Sialon powder was pressurelessly sintered over 1450-1850$^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen atmosphere. The average particle size of ${\beta}$-Sialon powder was about 4.5$\mu\textrm{m}$. The relative density, M.O.R., fracture toughness and micro-hardness of ${\beta}$-Sialon ceramics sintered at 1800$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour were 92%, 36 kpsi, 2.8MN/㎥/2 and 13.3 GN/㎡, respectively. The critical temperature difference (ΔT) in water quench thermal shock behavior showed about 375$^{\circ}C$ for the synthesized ${\beta}$-Sialon ceramics.

Thermal expansion property of $SiO_2-Al_2O_3$ system consisted of Muan clay, Hadong Pink Kaolin and Dangjin Silica was studied. Specimens were heated at the constant rate of 18$0^{\circ}C$/hr to the max. temperatures of 115$0^{\circ}C$ to 130$0^{\circ}C$ with an interval of $25^{\circ}C$, and matured for 3hrs. The result of X-Ray diffraction analysis showed that main crystals formed were $\alpha$-quartz, $\alpha$-cristobalite and mullite. Linear thermal expansion was measured at 90$0^{\circ}C$. The results of the linear thermal expansion were decreased regularly with the increase of the sintering temperature in accordance with the following equation. $y=5$\chi$\perp1100^{\circ}$. Where $\chi$ is amounts of kaolin (wt%), and y is temperature of the changing point of linear thermal expansion.

Various ceramic raw minerals occuring in Korea were investigated laying emphasis on mineralogical identifications of them. Data of chemical analysis, differential thermal analysis, powder patterns of x-ray diffraction and particle size distribution were obtained for the present study. Hadong kaolin was confirmed as halloysite, and it was found that main constituent of some commercial pyrophyllite is mineralogically not pyrophyllite; Seongsan and Ockmaesan pyrophyllite consist of mainly kaolin group mineral, Tongnae pyrophyllite consists of muscovite, however Milyang and Jindo pyrophyllite is mineralogically pyrophyllite.

With low thermal expansion coefficients, eucryptite (Li2O.Al2O3.2SiO2) and spodumene (Li2O.Al2O3.4SiO2) in LAS ceramic system show good thermal shock resistance. In this study, sillimanite or kaolin group silicate minerals and Li2CO3 were used as starting materials, and if necessary SiO2 or Al2O3 were added for making stoichiometrically formed specimens. By this process, eucryptite powders were synthesized and characterized. The powder mixtures of lithiumcabonate and silicate minerals calcined at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs were made into powder compacts. $\beta$-Eucryptite single phase was formed via intermediate phases of Li2SiO3 and LiAlO2 et al, by heating at 110$0^{\circ}C$ or 120$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 hrs from those powder compacts. When using the sillimanite group minerals, Virginia kyanite or andalusite was reacted to form eucryptite at 120$0^{\circ}C$and CMK International kyanite were completed at 110$0^{\circ}C$. When kaolin group minerals were used, it was found that the synthesizing temperature (100$0^{\circ}C$) of $\beta$-eucryptite from the mixture of New Zealand white kaolin was lower than that from Hadong pink kaolin (110$0^{\circ}C$). The Microstructure of systhesized powder showed the irregular lump shape such as densed crystallines.

In this study, the formation of mullite phase with mineralizer have been investiagated Hadong Kaolin and boehmite were used as starting materials and also of TiCl4 and MnCl4 aquous solution were used as a mineralizer. In the addition of 3.5% MnO as a mineralizer, mullite single phase could be obtained at 125$0^{\circ}C$ without any other second phases. However in the addition of TiO2 as a mineralizer, mullite single phase is obtained at above 135$0^{\circ}C$. Therefore the formation of mullite is lowered in the case of MnO as a mineralizer than of TiO2. Because it is easy to obtain mullite single phase in the case of MnO addition, all the characteristics improved. The values of bulk density, water absorption and bending strength at room temperature were 2.72g/㎤, 0.27% and 180 MPa, respectively.

As a part of the studies on adsorptive properties of Korean halloysite clays, Hadong white clays of premium grade were examined for geometric pore structured by mercury porosimetry and for specific surface areas by nitrogen adsorption according to the BET procedure. Three size fractions of the native clay sample were derived from passage BS #100, #200 and #325 meshes, respectively. Several parameters lhus observed in relation to the pore structures are shown below: 1. The size fraction of BS #100, #200 and #325 show internal pore volumes of 25.3, 30.2 and $35.0m^2g^{-1}$, respectively. 2. In the distribution curves of the cumulative pore volume against pore diameter, it has been shown that the larticle sizes, the steeper the distribution over the larger ranges of pore diameters. The converse is true the smaller particles. 3. Internal pore areas increase with decrease in pore sizes. It follows that the pores having diameters of $\leq$0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$ are responsible for more than 90% of the total pore area. 4. The behaviour of nitrogen adsorption can be best described by BET type IV isotherm. Further, the hysteresis loops of the adsorptiondesorption curves become narrower with decresing particle sizes. 5. The specific surface areas observed for the fractions of BS #100, BS #200 and BS #325 are 34.6, 35.4 and 43.2m $^2g^{-1}$, respectively. and the calcined clay of BS #325 has a specific surface area near $30.4m^2g^{-1}$.

Triaxial compression tests were run to study on the undrained strength characteristics of fiber mixed kaolin clay(Hadong). The influence of various test parameters such as amount and aspect ratio(ratio of length to diameter) of fiber, confining stress was also investigated. Test results showed that the increase in aspect ratio was increased in deviator stress at failure, but no effect on pore water pressure at failure. Deviator stress at failure was also increased at 0.5％ mixing ratio(weight fraction of fiber to that of soil solid) of fiber but it was, thereafter, decreased and wits reached to constant after 2％ mixing ratio. On the contrary, Pore water pressure at failure was increased as mixing ratio of fiber was greater than 1%. Deviator stress and pore water pressure of both clay and fiber mixed clay(FMC) at failure were increased as confining stress was increased. Deviator stress of FMC at failure was about 10％ larger than that of clay, but pore water pressure of FMC at failure was almost similar to that of clay.
