일반적으로 전기 동역학적 전위는 세기성질로 알려져 있으며 이를 바탕으로 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 대표적 무기성 물질인 몬모릴로나이트를 대상으로 하여 분산체를 제조해 전위를 측정하였다. 전기 동역학적 전위를 측정한 결과, 몬모릴로나이트의 질량이 증가할수록 전위값이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이는 몬모릴로나이트의 질량이 증가하면서 단위질량당 흡착하는 이온의 양이 적어지기 때문이라고 사료된다. 이러한 결과는 전위가 세기성질이 아닌 크기성질을 따른다고 생각할 수 있다. 또한 측정한 전기 동역학적 전위값을 통해 입자간 상호 에너지를 측정한 결과 몬모릴로나이트의 질량이 증가할수록 상호 입자간 에너지가 점차적으로 감소하는 경향이 관찰되었다.

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.

Seventy-two crossbred gilts of approximately 33 kg initial weight were used in this study. The gilts were randomly assigned into three groups. The three dietary treatments were basal diet only (control group), basal diet+10 mg/kg lead, and basal diet+10 mg/kg lead+0.5% particulate montmorillonite (PM). The results showed that the addition of lead to the diet decreased significantly the body weight and feed efficiency, but PM could restore body weight and feed efficiency of gilts compared to the Pb exposure group. There were no significant differences in weights of ovaries and uteri with addition of either lead or PM to the diet. Supplementing the lead in the diet of gilts also significantly increased the concentration of lead in blood, decreased circulating lutenizing hormone (LH) and estradiol (E$_2$) levels in serum, the addition of PM to the diet effectively adsorbed and lowered lead concentration in the blood. These data suggested that lead disrupts the signals between the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in gilts, and possibly suppressed the secretion of relative growth hormone and sex hormone. On the other hand, PM may ameliorate Pb toxicity in pigs.
