Alunite occurs as massive, cavity-filling and veinlets in the Cretaceous Hwangsan Formation in the Sungsan mine, Korea. It is a hydrothermal alteration product of rhyolitic tuffs, and associated with dickite, quartz and barite. The average chemical formula of alunite in the mine is $(K_{0.93}Na_{0.07})_{1.00}Al_{3.00}(SO_4)_{2.00}(OH)_6$. Atomic percentage of Na substituting for K in A site of the alunite structure varies from 5.9 to 9.2. Unit-cell volume and c dimension decrease with increasing Na atomic percentage. On the basis of thermal and high temperature XRD analyses, the decomposition of alunite into $KAl(SO_4)_2$ and $NaAl(SO_4)_2$ concomitant with the liberation of structural water (12.86%) occurs at about $550^{\circ}C$. The reconstruction of $KAl(SO_4)_2$ and $NaAl(SO_4)_2$ to $Al_2(SO_4)_3$, arcanite and thenardite, and the crystallization of ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ take place at about $720^{\circ}C$. The destruction of $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ structure takes place at about $760^{\circ}C$ removing 3/4 of total $SO_3$ (27.32%).

Some Quaternary faults developed in the eastern block of the Ulsan fault are Gaegok 1, Gaegok 2, Singye, Madong, Wonwonsa and Jinhyeon faults, which are characterized by thin gouge and narrow cataclasitic tones. This study was performed to emphasize the role of mineral alteration and microtexture in response to hydrothermal alteration of fault gouges during fault activity, using XRD, EPMA, BSE (backscattered electron image), and K-Ar age dating methods. Alteration minerals in fault gouges were formed in the age range of $44.3\~28.9Ma$ by hydrothermal alteration attributed to fault activity. XRD results show that fault gouges consist predominantly of clay minerals, quartz and feldspars. Clay minerals formed in the gouge zones are mainly composed of smectite with trace chlorite, illite and kaolinite. The evidence to support the hydrothermal alteration of preexisting minerals due to fault activity are easily recognized at the host rocks in contact with gouges zones. Injected gouge and calcite veins indicate that they were originated from multiple deformation by repeated fault activity. Gouge with green or greenish grey color, for example Jinhyeon fault, contains higher $Al_2O_3$ and lower MgO and CaO compared to those with reddish color. Various colors of fault gouge are intimately related to the chemical compositions of main constituent mineral as well as mineral assemblage.

분체의 입자 배열이 불규칙한 경우뿐만 아니라 입자 크기가 극미세하여 X선회절분석이 불가능한 경우에도 비정질물질이라 한다. 수용액 속에서 이런 비정질 물질을 합성하기 위해서는 합성용액의 과포화도를 높여 계속 유지시킴에 따라 극미세 1차핵 생성의 지속적인 유도에 따른 입자 성장을 최대한 억제시켜야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 흡습제, 칼슘제 및 식품 첨가제 등으로 이용되는 비정질 탄산칼슘을 계에서 합성하고, 이때 생성된 비정질 상태의 겔을 수용액 환경을 변화시켜가면서 따라 결정화를 유도하고 탄산칼슘의 동질이상을 관찰하였다. CO2의 유속을 11/min, 교반속도를 600rpm으로 고정시키고, Ca(OH)2의 양을 10g에서 50g까지 변화시켜가면서 겔 상태의 비정질 탄산칼슘을 합성하였다. 이때 전기전도도는 CO2의 용해와 더불어 Ca(OH)2의 용해도가 증가함에 따라 변화하였으며, 반응종반부에는 겔화가 시작될 때까지 거의 일정하였다. 따라서, 이러한 사실들로부터 현탁액 내에서의 전기전도도의 변화는 Ca이온의 영향을 받는 것으로 사료된다. 비정질 탄산칼슘은 수용액에서 불안정하여 CO2 가스를 방출하면서 급격히 결정화되는데, 본 연구에서는 Ca(OH)2의 양을 20g으로 하여 위의 방법에 의해 얻어진 겔을 수용액의 종류와 농도 및 결정화 온도, 교반속도를 달리하면서 결정화시켰다. 교반속도를 100rpm으로 하여 물의 온도변화에 다라 결정화시킨 경우 전 온도범위에서 칼사이트상이었으며, 물의 온도가 5$^{\circ}C$일 경우에는 미세한 입자들이 응집된 형태였으나, 그 외의 온도변화조건에서는 모두 평균입경 0.4$\mu\textrm{m}$정도의 비교적 균일하 능면체 형태였다. 또한 교반속도를 500rpm으로 증가시켰을 경우에는 8$0^{\circ}C$에서 침상의 아라코나이트가 소량생성되었음을 SEM사진으로 관찰할 수 있었으며, 소량의 바테라이트도 혼재되어 결정화되었음을 XRD결과로 알 수 있었다. 교반속도를 100rpm으로 한 NH4Cl 0.5mol/l 수용액에서는 입자의 형태와 크기가 불규칙한 칼사이트로 결정화되었으며, MgCl2 0.05mol/l 수용액의 경우에는 순수한 H2O의 경우에서와는 달리 2$0^{\circ}C$에서는 모서리가 무딘 매우 균일한 크기의 칼사이트 입자가 관찰되었으며, 6$0^{\circ}C$부터는 아라고나이트가 생성됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 따라서, 고온(8$0^{\circ}C$)의 농도 MgCl2 수용액(0.1, 0.2 mol/l)에서 교반속도를 높여(800rpm) 겔을 결정화시킨 결과 아라고나이트의 생성수율이 증가되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

니켈 산화물 박막을 전자비임 증착법으로 기판온도는 RT~25$0^{\circ}C$의 범위에서 제작하였다. 제작시 초기 베이스 압력은 2$\times$10-6mbar로 하고 산소주입후 작업진공도를 3$\times$10-4mbar로 유지하여 증착하였다. 제작시 기판온도에 따라 제작된 시료들은 각각 X선회절장치(XRD)로 막의 구조과 그림과 같이 입방체 구조 또는 팔면체구조를 갖음을 알 수 있었으며 막의 표면형상은 SEM을 이용하여 분석하였다. 각각의 여러 기판온도에 따라 제작된 니켈 산화물 박막의 전기 화학적인 특성을 분석하기 위해 순환전압전류법을 이용하였다. 또한, 전기적인 광학소자로써의 특성을 분석하기 위해 UV-Vis 광분광기를 사용하여 투과율을 측정하여 그 특성을 알아보았다. 순환전압전류법에 의한 각 시료에 대한 박막의 전기화학적 특성은 0.5M KOH 전해질 수용액에서 기판온도가 150~20$0^{\circ}C$로 제작된 니켈 산화물 박막이 다른 온도에서 제작된 시료들보다 높은 전기화학적 안정성을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 마찬가지로 광학적 특성에서 착색과 탈색의 순환과정시 분광광도계에서 나타나는 광투과율을 비교해 보면 100~20$0^{\circ}C$에서 제작된 니켈 산화물 박막이 가역적인 착탈색의 색변화가 현저하게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 결과적으로 광학적 특성 및 전기화학적 안정성 분석으로 인해 막의수명과 전기적착색 물질의 특성면에서 증착시 기판온도가 150~20$0^{\circ}C$에서 제작된 시료가 가장 내구성면에서 막의 이온 누적이 적고 활성적인 광투과율의 성질을 갖는다는 것이다. 이와같이 니켈산화물 박막제작시 기판온도가 전기적착색물질의 특성과 내구성에 큰 영향을 미침을 분석할 수 있었다.electron Microscopy)과 AFM(Atomim Force microscopy)으로 증착박 표면의 topology와 roughness를 관찰하였다. grain의 크기는 10nm에서 150nm이었고 증착막의 roughness는 4.2nm이었다. 그리고 이 산화막에 전극을 형성하여 유전 상수와 손실률 등을 측정하였다. 이와 같이 plasma를 이용한 3-beam에 의한 증착은 금속의 산화막을 얻는데 유용한 기술로 광학 재료 및 유전 재료의 개발 및 연구에 많이 사용될 것으로 기대된다.소분압 조건에서 RuO2의 형성을 관찰하였으며, 이것은 열역학적인 계산을 통해서 잘 설명할 수 있었다.0$\mu\textrm{m}$, 코일간의 간격은 100$\mu\textrm{m}$였다. 제조된 박막 인덕터는 5MHz에서 1.0$\mu$H의 인덕턴스를 나타내었으며 dc current dervability는 100mA까지 유지되었다.

Cobalt oxide (Co₃O₄·CoO) ultra fine particles were synthesized by liquid phase precursor method. cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate (CoCl₂·6H₂O) was as a starting material. A plant-derived crystalline cellulose was used as impregnating materials. A impregnated precursor was calcined at a temperature of 350 to 900℃ to obtain cobalt oxide particles having a particle size of 1 to 10㎛. The crystallization process and morphology according to the calcination temperature were examined, and the properties of the synthesized powder were evaluated using SEM and XRD. It was confirmed that a crystal phase of Co₃O₄ began to form around 350℃ and crystal growth occurred up to 900℃. At a temperature above 500℃, the Co₃O₄ crystal was changed to another crystal phase CoO.

In order to investigate the silica effect of insufficient wollastonite to the official standard (above than 15% of suluble silica (N/2 HCl) on rice plant as silica fertilizer, 9 kinds of wollastonites and slag were adopted to examine the amount of silica absorbed by rice straw during growing period, and soluble silica of wollastonites extracted by 7 buffer solutions were compared with silica content in rice straw. Crystalls of ingredient in wollastonite ores were identified by X-ray diffractometer. The results were that silica content of rice plant at growing stages were increased as same ratio of soluble silica. content in wollastonite. Wollastonite containing more than 10% of souble silica (N/2 HCl) could be applied as fertilizer because absorbed amount of silica by rice plant from them are higher than from slag which contained 30% of soluble silica. Wollastonite powder mixed with impure ores in which soluble silica could not be extracted had the same effect on silica absorption of straw as wollastonite powder which contained conformable amount of soluble silica. The soluble silica of wollastonite extracted by buffer solutions (2% citric acid, N. NaOAc, N. $NH_4OAc$, Petermann solution, 0.1M. EDTA, and Hot water) had high significant relation to silica content in rice straw, but soluble silica extracted N/2 hydrochloric acid solutilon, also, had deep relation to them in rice straw. The adequate solution to extract silica from wollastonites is N/2 hydrochloric acid solution because its extracted silia amount is much higher than other solution (about one hundred times) and can be determined by gravimetric analysis. X-ray diffraction pattern would identify qualitatively purity of wollastonite, and large amount of soluble silica was extracted from wollastonite which was appeared to be weathered.

The physicochemical properties of soils having high uranium content, located around Duckpyungri in Korea, were investigated and the lab scale soil washing experiments to remove uranium from the soil were preformed with several washing solutions and on various washing conditions. SPLP (Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure), TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure), and SEP (Sequential Extraction Procedure) for the soil were conducted and the uranium concentration of the extracted solution in SPLP was higher than Drinking Water Limit of USEPA (30 ${\mu}g$/L), suggesting that the continuous dissolution of uranium from soil by the weak acid rain may generate the environmental pollution around the research area. For the soil washing experiments, the uranium removal efficiency of pH 1 solution for S2 soil was about 80 %, but dramatically decreased as pH of solution was > 2, suggesting that strong acidic solutions are available to remove uranium from the soil. For solutions with 0.1M of HCl and 0.05 M of ${H_2}{SO_4}$, their removal efficiencies at 1 : 1 of soil vs. washing solution ratio were higher than 70%, but the removal efficiencies of acetic acid, and EDTA were below 30%. At 1 : 3 of soil vs. solution, the uranium removal efficiencies of 0.1M HCl, 0.05 M ${H_2}{SO_4}$, and 0.5M citric acid solution increased to 88%, 100%, and 61% respectively. On appropriate washing conditions for S2 soil such as 1 : 3 ratio for the soil vs. solution ratio, 30 minute for washing time, and 2 times continuous washing, TOC (Total Organic Contents) and CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity) for S2 soil were measured before/after soil washing and their XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) results were also compared to investigate the change of soil properties after soil washing. TOC and CEC decreased by 55% and 66%, compared to those initial values of S2 soil, suggesting that the soil reclaimant may need to improve the washed soils for the cultivated plants. Results of XRF and XRD showed that the structural change of soil after soil washing was insignificant and the washed soil will be partially used for the further purpose.

We examined the mineralogical composition of pyrite-bearing rocks by quantitative powder X-ray diffraction analysis using the matrix-flushing method and ROCKJOCK (a full pattern fitting computer program). The neutralization potential (NP) and acid generating potential (AP) were calculated on the basis of mineralogical compositions. The mineralogical AP was compared with the conventional AP calculated from bulk sulfur concentration to assess the applicability to the prediction of acid rock drainage(ARD). The pyrite content calculated by matrix-flushing method showed a high positive correlation($r^2$=0.95) with those by ROCKJOCK. The pyrite contents by matrix-flushing method was 1.45 times larger than those by ROCKJOCK. The pyrite content and mineralogical AP obtained by the matrix-flushing method had a better correlation($r^2$=0.98) with those by the total sulfur concentrations in the all samples except KB sample. The mineralogical NPs of YJ sample were 23.0 and 34.0(kg $CaCO_3$ equivalent per tonne) by matrix-flushing method and ROCKJOCK, respectively. The AP calculated by matrix-flushing method and ROCKJOCK program were 47% and 72% of those by the conventional ABA test. We hereby suggested that the quantitative analysis using XRD data can be applied to prediction of ARD. For more reliable calculation of the mineralogical NP and AP, other sulfide and carbonate minerals such as pyrrhotite, dolomite, ankerite, siderite, rhodochrosite which can affact the mineralogical NP and AP should be considered.

The present study is focused on the granite weathering and soil formation, and the heavy metal contamination in soils in the Onsan industrial area. For profile study, soil sampling was conducted on each depth and experimental analyses have been conducted on those samples. X-ray diffraction analyses show that clay minerals consist mainly of kaolin minerals, vermiculite, and minor illite. Most of kaolin minerals in the lower kiwi of the profile consist of halloysite as confirmed by formamide intercalation, but the content of halloysite decreases gradually toward the surface since it has been transformed to kaolinite in the upper part of the profile. Thermal treatment by heating at $110^{\circ}C,\;300^{\circ}C,\;and\;550^{\circ}C$ shows a diffuse and broad peak the between 10 and $14\;{\AA}$ region in X-ray diffractograms. This suggests the possible existence of the hydroxy-Al interlayerecl vermiculite. Na-citrate extraction method reaconfirms this result showing transition of $14\;{\AA}$ peak to $10\;{\AA}$ In by removing the interlayer materials and restoring the vermiculite to its original state. The occurrence of hydroxy-Al interlayered vermiculite is also supported by soil pH distribution room 3.9 In the lower part to 3.6 in the upper part of the profile. Sequential extraction experiment was conducted to investigate the states of heavy metals in soils. The experiment shows that relatively high amounts of heavy metals are concentrated in the upper part of the profile and that most of them are bound to Fe/Mn oxides and organic matters while less concentration in clay minerals. The result indicates that most of heavy metal pollutants are concentrated in the surface soil and that the low concentrations of heavy metals in clays are mainly due to the low adsorption capacities of clay minerals such as kaolin minerals and hydroxy-Al interlayered vermiculite in acidified soil condition.

Inner walls of the stone chamber of West Ancient Tomb No. 1 and 2 in Neungsan-ri, Buyeo-gun have been inspected for possible trace of murals. Tomb No.1 has a rough surface finish of the stone wall and no traces of murals was observed in any part of the stone walls except the ceiling part of the main chamber. On the ceiling surface, there is black colored area, which showed same visual characteristics for both the surface and interior upon slight scratch of the surface, suggesting that it may not be a painted layer. In addition, this black material is not artificial stuff like black ink but is confirmed as biotite from X-ray diffraction analysis that is one of the constituents of the stone wall. In case of tomb No. 2, white material, that is confirmed as lime(calcite, CaCO3) by X-ray diffraction analysis, was observed on the wall surface of the east, west and north, suggesting possible existence of murals. The lime layers, however, are located mostly on the entrance of east wall of main chamber and the place of passage whereas they are observed only in lower parts on the other walls. It may have been formed by the inflow of soil and lime from the outside as the form of the lime layer in the east wall corresponds to the traces of soil and lime deposited from the thief pit. Furthermore, the filling material found in the gap between the stone slabs of the four directions and the ceiling was confirmed as clay soil, which is different material from the lime present on the stone wall surface. If the lime layer had been artificially constructed for the purpose of creating murals, it would have been more reasonable to use lime as well in the gap between the stone slabs of the four directions and ceiling. In this regard, we conclude that there are no murals in the Tomb No. 2 in the Neungsan-ri.
