The gas evolution from mixtures consisting of 0.2 M solution of N,N,N',N'-tetra-n-octyldiglycolamide (TODGA) in n-alcohol (n-decanol or n-nonanol) with Isopar-M diluent was investigated during thermal oxidation. The effect of ionizing radiation on their thermal stability has been studied. It has been determined that the volume of gaseous thermolysis products increases by 260% in the case of n-nonanol and 80% in the case of n-decanol compared to non-irradiated solutions. It has been shown that the gas evolution rate and gas volume increase when the irradiated mixture saturated with nitric acid is heated. However, there are no prerequisites for the development of autocatalytic oxidation.

This study is made for examining the characteristics of the lead-zinc deposition from the mineralogy of pyrrhotite at the Yeonhwa 1 Mine, Korea. The pyrrhotite of the Yeonhwa 1 mine is divided two species; the pynhotites I and II. The pyrrhotite I that represents the product in Stage II mineralization is characterized by hexagonal pyrrhotite occurring as the mechanical mixtures of hexagonal and monoclinic phases with various proportion. These mixtures might be formed from 'primary' hexagonal pyrrhotite by the subsequent retrograde reaction and/or by the influence of later mineralization in Stage III. Whereas the pyrrhotite II crystallized out in later Mineralization Stage III (hydrothermal stage) is always monoclinic variant with ferromagnetic properties; no two phase mixtures have been recognized.

It is obvious that there are plentiful of dust particles in the interplanetary spaces of the Solar System (IDPs), based on micrometeor craters, zodiacal light and direct measurements on the spacecraft. Because of photon drag and planetary perturbations, these particles are continuously falling to the Sun or planets, therefore continuous source of the IDPs are required. We studied the fractional contribution of each type of solar system objects to the IDPs complex through the optical properties of the potential dust sources and the zodiacal light. We found that more than 90% of the IDPs are originated from cometary nuclei. This result is discussed through the comparison with the dynamic simulation, micrometeors mineralogy and near-infrared spectrum of the zodiacal light. In addition, we introduce our new project on the numerical simulation for the dust particles ejected from the cometary nuclei, to verify the conclusion of dominant cometary contribution and its detailed consequences.

Presently, the number of known asteroids is more than 710,000. Knowledge of size and albedo is essential in many aspects of asteroid research, such as the chemical composition and mineralogy, the size-frequency distribution of dynamical families, and the relationship between small bodies in the outer solar system or comets. Recently, based on the infrared all-sky survey data obtained by IRAS, AKARI, and WISE, the large asteroid catalogs containing size and albedo data have been constructed. In this paper, we discuss the compositional distribution in the main belt regions based on the compiled data on size, albedo, and separately obtained taxonomic type information.

The thermal signature of nucleation process is characterized by the induction time, the degree of supercooling, and the equilibrium temperature depression. The initiation of nucleation presents stochastic characteristics. The factors that affect nucleation are mechanical impact, ionic concentration, mineral surface characters, and pore size. Hydrate-bearing sediments behave mechanically like other cemented sediments. The data set has important implications for the calibration and interpretation of geophysical measurements and downhole logs collected in gas hydrate provinces, providing particular insight for the interpretation of P- and S-wave data and resistivity logs. In addition, laboratory formation history and ensuing pore-scale spatial distribution likely have a more pronounced effect on the macroscale mechanical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments

The white leather-like playgorskite occurs as a vein in the Cretaceous sedimentary rocks in the Yeongsan area, Kyeongnam, Korea. It has been investigate by means of XRD, TEM, DTA-TG, IR and chemical analysis. The palygorskite vein is composed mostly of well-crystallized palygorskite. The wall rock of the vein is altered to smectite along both sides of the vein. According to TEM observation the palygorskite shows a fibrous habit. The sizes offibers are quite variable, ranging from 0.1 to 3.0 micron in length. From XRD data, the palygorskite has orthorhombic unit cell with a=12.726$\AA$, b=17.796$\AA$, c=5.1666$\AA$. The chemical formula of the palygorskite was calculated as [Si7.93Al0.07](Al1.91Fe+30.11Mg1.96)Ca0.01O20(OH)4(OH2)2.

An understanding of the behaviour of soft clay soils is important in a large number of civil engineering applications, including dredging operations, land reclamation and slurry management such as disposal and storage. Although the details of the behaviour depend on parameters such as the soil mineralogy, the pore water chemistry, the organic content and the microbiology, there are general features that are typical in many cases. The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss some of evaporation and desiccation observed in laboratory experiments under controlled conditions. Desiccation of dredged material is basically removal of water by evaporation which is controlled by weather and material type, etc. This study shows that (1) solar radiation, (2) wind velocity, (3) material depth, (4) trench depth are important factors in desiccation of dredged ultra soft clay.

New methods of nano sized material and composite coating preparations have been considered on the base of mathematical model of abrasion reaction interaction of milling and grinding bodies in planetary centrifugal mill. The essence of the method is the abrasive and oxidative wear of the milling bodies and amorphous (better inert) additives. Interactions between them has been supplied the necessary impulse of pressure and temperature on the impact frictional contacts and promoted chemical processes. The offered method can find application for such processing as sintering and geological minerals opening.

Using an oedometer cell instrumented to measure the evolution of electromagnetic properties, small strain stiffness, and temperature, we conducted consolidation tests on four types of sediments. The tested specimens include sediments with different gas hydrate saturation at four stages of loading. The test results show that the electromagnetic and mechanical properties of hydrate-bearing marine sediments are governed by the vertical effective stress, stress history, porosity, hydrate saturation, fabric, ionic concentration of the pore fluid, and temperature. The results also show that permittivity and electrical conductivity data can be combined to estimate hydrate volume fraction in laboratory sediments, methodology that might eventually be extended for estimation of hydrate concentrations in field settings.

This paper describes procedures and the results of mineralogical, fabric and pore sixte analyses perforied on four shales to understand time-dependent deforiation behav iour of swell ins shales better. Mineralogical compositions of theme shales are eBtablished froi the results of X-ray diffraction snalysis and chemical analyses. The importance of the fabric in the understanding of swelling behaviour of shales is demonstrated using Scanning Electron Microscope (SRI). The change in pore sixte distribution during the process of swelling is investigated by measuring pore size distribution before and after free swell test. The results Of the Present study imply that the swelling of Shales studied is not attributed to minerals like pyritei anhydrite or swelling clay minerals. The anisotropic swelling behaviour of shales studied ray be explained by fabrics of theme shales and the difference in them. The swelling of theme shales is found to be accoipanied by increase in the volute of pores.
