Early weathering products of anorthosite were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy in order to trace the development of halloysite particles and aggregates. Tiny short tubes or spheres precipitate on the plagioclase surface in the initial stage of weathering and form the compact globular aggregates. With continued growth, several globules are coalesced into wrinkled halloysite aggregates, and short tubes or spheres in globules grow into long tubes forming sheaf-like aggregates. Particle shape of halloysite varies with changing supersaturation degree of weathering solution, and determines the morphology of halloysite aggregates.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of surface charge of major clay minerals in Korea. The charge characteristics of clay minerals were studied by measuring the retention of $NH^+_4$, $Ca^{2+}$ and $Cl^-$ as a function of ionic strength. The dominant clay minerals of Zeolite, Bentonite and Kaolin were oriented as Clinoptilolite+Mordenite, Montmorillonite and Halloysite, respectively. At the same ionic strength, Montmorillonite and Halloysite adsorbed some more $Ca^{2+}$ than $NH^+_4$, whereas Zeolite adsorbed more $NH^+_4$ than $Ca^{2+}$. All the three minerals adsorbed more ions with higher ionic strength and the C.F.C was larger in the order of Halloysite < Montmorillonite < Zeolite. Since the total surface area by EGME rentention was shown to be in the order of Halloysite < Zeolite < Montmorillonite, therefore, the charge density was calculated to be in the order of Montmorillonite < Halloysite < Zeolite.

Hydrated halloysite was formed by the low temperature alteration of trachytic tuff in onion-like spherical or curly platy forms. The Si content was higher than that of ideal kaolin minerals, indicating the possible presence of amorphous materials. The high Fe content is responsible for the platy morphology of halloysite. The leached ions precipitated as halloysite filling the interparticle pores, while trachytic glass was replaced by Si-rich amorphous materials in an hemispherical form, which was further evolved into spherical halloysite. Halloysite is one of the major alteration products of the volcanic ash in Ulleung Island underwent intense trachytic volcanism.

Mullitization of halloysite was examined with special attention to the influence of polytypism and impurities on the phase transformation. The phase transformation sequence in halloysite is identical with those in kaolinite and in dickite. Difference in the phase transformation above $1000^{\circ}C$ in kaolin minerals is attributed to the different crystal structures of metakaolins or the effect of impurities. Growth of mullite crytals in the discordered kaolinte including halloysite or illite occurs at about $100^{\circ}C$ lower temperature. Cristobalite is also hardly produced.

Bowl 형태의 일본산 Nagano 점토에 대한 분류 및 특성화 연구를 하였다. 결정입자 크기를 1$\mu$ 이하로 침강분리 시킨후 전자현미경으로 결정형태를 관찰하였다. 아울러 결정형태, 구조적 결함 및 intercalation 반응성의 상호관계를 검토하기 위하여 tube 형태의 한국산 halloysite 및 plate 형태의 kaolinite를 비교 조사하였다. 특이한 Bowl 형 Nagano 점토는 tube형 halloysite와 화학 반응성에서 동일하여 극성 내지는 hydrogen bridge 결합을 하는 guest 분자와 반응하여 층간삽입 화합물을 형성 하였다. 화학반응성에 따른 점토분류방법에 의해 Nagano 점토가 halloysite임을 밝혔으며 아울러 결정의 형태는 반응성에 영향을 미치지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

Transmission electron microscopic study including single particle electron diffraction and morphological observation using replica and thin section was carried out for the Sancheong halloysite. Halloysite tube generally consists of inner circular and outer polygonal leaves. Primary triangular or concave voids are found between inner and outer leaves. Crosssection of halloysite tubes whose diameters are smaller than 500${\AA}$ are generally circular, whereas those larger than 500${\AA}$ are polygonal. Electron diffraction pattern of thick polygonal halloysite tube shows that it has a 2-layer monoclinic structure as suggested by previous workers.

In this study, halloysite nanoparticles-doped epoxy resin was synthesised using the casting method. The MH-300A density metre revealed that the density of the fabricated composites changed from 1.132 to 1.317 g/cm³ as the halloysite nanoparticle concentration increased. The Fourier transform infrared was recorded for the synthesised composites. Furthermore, the γ-ray shielding properties of the synthesised composites were evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation and a theoretical programme, XCOM. The linear attenuation coefficient of the epoxy resin increased by 43% (at γ-energy of 15 keV) and 14% (at γ-photon energy of 662 keV) when the concentration of the halloysite nanoparticles was increased from 0 wt% to 40 wt%, respectively.

Natural halloysite is mostly found in the form of a tubular structure with a 15-125 nm internal lumen. This kaolin clay can be used for encapsulating a liquid ingredient of cosmetics and for immobilizing an inorganic solid-phase ingredient. In this paper, the encapsulation and immobilization procedures are introduced and two example applications are reviewed to demonstrate the usefulness of halloysite as a cosmetics substrate. It may help attract more interest in cosmetic applications of halloysite and thus spur more research on the utilization of natural clays.

The X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy study of the kaolin sample from Sancheong area show that the halloysite occurs as hydrated 10$\AA$ form. It implies that the 7$\AA$ reflection and hk-line splitting in the X-ray diffractogram are ascribed to kaolinite. Kaolinite in Sancheong kaolin is of a disordered type. It tends to be enriched in the colored part of kaolin samples. Quantitative analyses show that kaolin contains 16-57% halloysite and 10-55%kaolinite.

Adsorption of metal elements onto illite and halloysite was investigated at $25^{\circ}C$ using pollutant water collected from the gold-bearing metal mine. Incipient solution of pH 3.19 was reacted with clay minerals as a function of time: 10 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, 12 hour, 24 hour, 1 day, 2 day, 1 week, and 2 week. Twenty-seven cations and six anions from solutions were analyzed by AAs (atomic absorption spectrometer), ICP(induced-coupled plasma), and IC (ion chromatography). Speciation and saturation index of solutions were calculated by WATEQ4F and MINTEQA2 codes, indicating that most of metal ions exist as free ions and that there is little difference in chemical species and relative abundances between initial solution and reacted solutions. The adsorption results showed that the adsorption extent of elements varies depending on mineral types and reaction time. As for illite, adsorption after 1 hour-reaction occurs in the order of As>Pb>Ge>Li>Co, Pb, Cr, Ba>Cs for trace elements and Fe>K>Na>Mn>Al>Ca>Si for major elements, respectively. As for halloysite, adsorption after 1 hour-reaction occurs in the order of Cu>Pb>Li>Ge>Cr>Zn>As>Ba>Ti>Cd>Co for trace elements and Fe>K>Mn>Ca>Al>Na>Si for major elements, respectively. After 2 week-reaction, the adsorption occurs in the order of Cu>As>Zn>Li>Ge>Co>Ti>Ba>Ni>Pb>Cr>Cd>Se for trace elements and Fe>K>Mn>Al, Mg>Ca>Na, Si for major elements, respectively. No significant adsorption as well as selectivity was found for anions. Although halloysite has a 1:1 layer structure, its capacity of adsorption is greater than that of illite with 2:1 structure, probably due to its peculiar mineralogical characteristics. According to FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) results, there was no shift in the OH-stretching bond for illite, but the ν1 bond at 3695 cm-1 for halloysite was found to be stronger. In the viewpoint of adsorption, illite is characterized by an inner-sphere complex, whereas halloysite by an outer-sphere complex, respectively. Initial ion activity and dissociation constant of metal elements are regarded as the main factors that control the adsorption behaviors in a natural system containing multicomponents at the acidic condition.
