본 연구에서는 ALC의 물리적 특성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 다양한 인자 중 규석 종류를 검토하였으며, 이때 회수슬러리를 재활용하였다. 규석은 문경 및 금평 규석을 사용하였으며, 규석 분말 입수분도 실험하였다. 규석의 XRD 분석과 광물상 분석을 통해 문경 규석의 주요 광물은 석영과 운모로, 금평 규석은 석영으로 구성되어 있음을 확인하였다. 더불어 금평 규석에 존재하는 석영의 결정성이 좀 더 양호하다는 것도 알 수 있었다. ALC의 밀도와 기공특성은 규석별 차이가 관찰되지 않았으나, 압축강도 및 A-수는 문경 규석보다 금평 규석 사용시에 양호한 특성을 발현하였다. 이러한 현상은 규석에 존재하는 주요 광물 결정종의 차이, 석영입자 결정성 및 미량성분 함량 차이 등의 영향으로 추정되었다.

Nephrite has been widely used as a medicinal mineral resource to treat a numerous chronic diseases and to replenish vital essence and blood in the Korean traditional medicine. However, as of yet, there is little understanding of the pharmacological and biochemical mechanisms of its therapeutic effects as regards anti-inflammation. We therefore examined whether nephrite represses the expression of major inflammation mediators, such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), in LPS-stimulated murine macrophage cell line, RAW264.7 by using RT-PCR. The powder suspension and water extracts of nephrite significantly inhibited the mRNA expression of the mediators, despite a little toxic effects on growth of RAW 264.7 cells within the concentration range tested. These experimental results suggested that the nephrite can be utilized as a functional mineral exerting the anti-inflammation medicinal effect.

부유된 광물성 미립자는 강, 저수지 그리고 호수의 유속 및 운송력이 감소하는 곳에서 침전되며, 다른 중금속들에 의해 오염된다. 그 실예들이 퇴적물의 준설, 수질오염, 운하 및 수공구조물의 유지관리의 문제이다. 이런 침전 문제들을 다루기 위해선 물에 녹아있는 이온(NaOH, HCl, NaCl)의 첨가 및 밀도의 변화 아래 점착성 퇴적물의 물리-화학적인 특성의 이해가 필요하다. 왜냐하면 미립자인 점착성 퇴적물은 물리-화학적인 영향 때문에 쉽게 응집현상이 일어나며, 다른 특성을 갖게 되기 때문이다. 본 실험은 광물성 미립자(alumina 와 Quartz)를 가지고 담수 및 염분을 함유한 침강수주 안에서 실시되었다. 정수 중에 부유된 미립자의 침강속도는 압력센서(최대 10 mbar)로 측정되었다. 초기 농도 20,000 mg/l)까지 quartz의 침강 속도는 증가하였으며, 그 후 감소하였다. Quartz의 침강 속도는 산성에서 강한 응집현상 때문에 증가하였으며 알칼리성에서는 낮게 측정되었다. 그러나 alumina의 침강 속도는 그 정반대의 현상을 보였다.

Based on the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and M ssbauer spectroscopy, the thermal behavior and phase transformations of two clays are investigated for raw and fired conditions, which are collected from Kwangryeongli and Ildo district in Cheju Island. M ssbauer spectra at room temperature and 20for two clays show that paramagnetic Fe3- is the structural iron of the layer silicate and ferrihydrite, and superparamagnetic goethite has about 50% of total iron contents. The XRD peaks of hematite for the fired clays appear from 80$0^{\circ}C$ in Kwangryeongli clay and from $600^{\circ}C$ in Ildo district clay, respectively. The structural Fe2+ was completely oxidized into Fe3- at 40$0^{\circ}C$ for Kwangryeongli clay and 50$0^{\circ}C$~$600^{\circ}C$ for Ildo district clay, respectively. The structural Fe2+ was completely oxidized into Fe3- at 40$0^{\circ}C$. For the temperature ranging from 40$0^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$~80$0^{\circ}C$, two fired clays exhibit the dehydroxylation of the clay mineral. A disintegration of the clay mineral structure is observed from $700^{\circ}C$~80$0^{\circ}C$ to 110$0^{\circ}C$, followed by the onset and spread of vitrification process. It is also shown that well-crystallized hematite phase is formed at the temperature higher than 110$0^{\circ}C$ and the relative absorption area decreases, which might be related to the recrystallization of alluminosilicate matrix.

Quantitative analysis is an important requirement in exploration, mining and processing of minerals. There is an increasing need for the use of quantitative mineralogical data to assist with bore hole logging, deposit delineation, grade control, feed to processing plants and monitoring of solid process residues. Quantitative analysis using X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) requires fine grinding and the addition of a reference material, or the application of Rietveld analysis to XRD patterns to provide accurate analysis of the suite of minerals present. Whilst accurate quantitative data can be obtained in this manner, the method is time consuming and limited to the laboratory. Mid infrared when combined with multivariant analysis has also been used for quantitative analysis. However, factors such as the absorption coefficients and refractive index of the minerals requires special sample preparation and dilution in a dispersive medium, such as KBr to minimize distortion of spectral features. In contrast, the lower intensity of the overtones and combinations of the fundamental vibrations in the near infrared allow direct measurement of virtually any solid without special sample preparation or dilution. Thus Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) has found application for quantitative on-line/in line analysis and control in a range of processing applications which include, moisture control in clay and textile processing, fermentation processes, wheat analysis, gasoline analysis and chemicals and polymers. It is developing rapidly in the mineral exploration industry and has been underpinned by the development of portable NIR spectrometers and spectral libraries of a wide range of minerals. For example, iron ores have been identified and characterized in terms of the individual mineral components using field spectrometers. Data acquisition time of NIR field instruments is of the order of seconds and sample preparation is minimal. Consequently these types of spectrometers have great potential for in-line or on-line application in the minerals industry. To demonstrate the applicability of NIR field spectroscopy for quantitative analysis of minerals, a specific example on the quantification of lateritic bauxites will be presented. It has been shown that the application of Partial Least Squares regression analysis (PLS) to the NIR spectra can be used to quantify chemistry and mineralogy in a range of lateritic bauxites. Important, issues such as sampling, precision, repeatability, and replication which influence the results will be discussed.

The mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori has been one of the most important domestic animals which have provided with silk fibers for weaving fabrics and a food for a protein and lipid source. In addition, various health improvement effects of diverse silkworm larval powders were reported. Recently we found that steamed and freeze-dried mature silkworm larval powder (SMSP) generated using white-jade (also known as Backokjam) silkworm variety extended healthspan and increased resistance to Parkinson's disease in animal models. Because the colors of cocoons in silkworm varieties were caused by altered signal transduction pathways transporting phytochemicals from intestinal lumens to silk glands, we performed the proximate, amino acid, mineral, carbohydrates, fatty acid, and cholesterol composition analyses of SMSPs of 3 silkworm varieties which were weaving light yellow, golden, and red cocoons. Although most of nutrient compositions among 3 SMSPs were similar, there were significant differences in certain amino acids, minerals, and fatty acid compositions. Red silk silkworm (RS)-SMSP had higher contents of crude proteins and total amino acids than other SMSPs. In addition, the ratio of n-3/n-6 unsaturated fatty acids were higher than the other SMSPs. In contrast Golden silk silkworm (GS)-SMSP had higher ratio of potassium/sodium than the other SMSPs. These nutrient analysis results suggested that 3 SMSPs might have common and unique health improvement effects. Thus, further studies in the functionalities of the 3 SMSPs will reveal unknown their health improvements effects.

The hypoglycemic effects of five Korean wild vegetables, Aralia continentalis (A. con.), Castanea crenata (C. cre.), Xanthium strumarium (K, str.), Alisma canaliculatum (A. can,) and Eupatorium chinense var. simplicifolium for tripartium (E. tri) which have been utilized for the traditional remedies were investigated in this study. Diabetes mellitus was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by injections of streptozotocin (STZ) into the tail veins at a dose of 45 mg/kg. Five groups of STZ-induced diabetic rats were fed one of each experimental diet containing 10% of the Korean wild vegetable powder and normal and STZ-control rats were fed the control diet for five weeks. The body weight change, feed efficiency ratio (FER) and organ weights were compared. The plasma levels of glucose, protein, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, free fatty acid, and aminotransferase activity were determined. Mineral (Ca, K, Mg, Na, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) contents of the Korean wild vegetables were analyzed. The body weight gain was higher in normal, C. cre., A. can. and E. tri. groups than in the diabetic control group. The FER of C. cre., A. can. and E. tri. groups was significantly higher (p.＜0.05) than that of diabetic control group. Liver weight was heavier in A. con., X. str. and A. can. groups compared with the diabetic control group. The weights of kidney were lighter in all five Korean wild vegetable groups than in the diabetic control group. After five weeks, the plasma glucose level tends to be decreased in A. con., A. can. and E. tri. groups. Plasma cholesterol level was decreased the Korean wild vegetables except for X. str. group. Plasma HDL- cholesterol level was significantly higher in A. con., A. can. and E. tri. groups compared with the diabetic control group. Plasma triglyceride and free fatty acid levels were significantly higher in X. str. group compared with the diabetic control group. Mineral contents were higher in E. tri. (Ca, K, Na and Fe). The results suggest that the intakes of A. con., A. can. and E. tri. have a hypoglycemic effect in diabetic rats showing the possibility as the valuable food resources for the prevention of diabetic mellitus.

As an attempt to replacing petroleum-based chemicals with bio-based ones, synthesis of furfural from biomass-derived xylose attracts much attention in recent days. Conventionally, furfural from xylose has been produced via the utilization of highly corrosive, toxic, and environmentally unfriendly mineral acids such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid. In this study, microwave-assisted biphasic reaction process in the presence of novel bio-based heterogeneous acid catalysts was developed for the eco-benign and effective synthesis of furfural from xylose. The microwave was irradiated for reaction acceleration and a biphasic system consisting of $H_2O$ : MIBK (1 : 2) was designed for continuous extraction of furfural into the organic phase in order to reduce the undesired side products formed by decomposition/condensation/oligomerization in the acidic aqueous phase. Moreover, sulfonated amorphous carbonaceous materials were prepared from wood powder, the most abundant lignocellulosic biomass. The prepared catalysts were characterized by FT-IR, XPS, BET, elemental analysis and they were used as bio-based heterogeneous acid catalysts for the dehydration of xylose into furfural more effectively. For further optimization, the effect of temperature, reaction time, water/organic solvent ratio, and substrate/catalyst ratio on the xylose conversion and furfural yield were investigated and 100% conversion of xylose and 74% yield of furfural was achieved within 5 h at $180^{\circ}C$. The bio-based heterogeneous acid catalysts could be used three times without any significant loss of activity. This greener protocol provides highly selective conversion of xylose to furfural as well as facile isolation of product and bio-based heterogeneous acid catalysts can alternate the environmentally-burdened mineral acids.
