구리(II)의 전자상자성공명 흉수선의 모양과 선 폭에 대한 해석을 통해 석영-물 계면에서의 구리(II) 및 흡착수와 석영 표면과의 상호 작용에 대해 연구하였다. 두 가지 흡수선이 중첩하여 흡수선을 구성하며 따라서 석영 표면에 적어도 두 종류의 구리(II)가 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 하나는 g=2.18에 중심을 둔 초미세 갈라짐이 분해되지 않는 등방성 단일 흡수선을 보여 주는 구리(II) 이온이다. 이는 수용액 중에서와 유사한 빠른 자유 회전 운동이 가능한 상태로 표면에 매우 약하게 결합된 구리 이온(Cu($H_2O$)$_{6}$$^{2+}$)인 것으로 해석된다. 다른 하나는 축 대칭 흡수선 $g_{∥}$=2.40, $g_{⊥}$=2.08)을 가지는 구리(II)로서 이는 표면에 강하게 결합된 것으로 해석된다. 본 결과는 흡착 현상에 대한 열역학적 접근법인 표면 착물화 모델들이 제시하는 광물 표면에서의 금속 이온 흡착 모델이 거시적 관점에서 흡착 현상을 잘 모사할지라도 분자 수준의 미시적 관점에서 흡착 메커니즘을 규명하기 위해서는 독립적인 분광학적 정보가 제시되어야함을 보여 준다.다.

Microbial mats, the yellow and reddish brown deposits formed from the mine drainage, occur on the bottom of drain and mine tailing pond of the Ilkwang mine in Pusan, Korea. The constituents of microbial mats and their biomineralization were studied by using XRD, IR, and SEM-EDX. The upper part of the microbial mat is yellow-colored and composed of tube-shaped and small spheroid bacterial materials, which are mainly made up of amorphous and poor-crystalline iron-oxide minerals. The shape and composition of bacterial materials suggest that they are probably belong to iron-oxide mineral aggregates. The iron-oxide minerals of the yellow microbial mats are mainly goethite, but those of the reddish brown microbial mats contain abundant hematite along with goethite. This implies that with the evolution of biomats, goethite may be transformed to hematite.

Rietveld analysis using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data collected at 15 K reveals that CFC-13 ($CF_{3}Cl;$ chlorotrifluoromethane) sorbed on Na,K-LSX binds through fluorine to sodium ions around the single 6-ring aperture in the supcrgage.

This study entails establishing reference standard sand in Nigeria for engineering and geoenvironmental research work. Sands from four geographical locations in southwestern Nigeria were examined for baseline geotechnical and mineralogical properties. A total of sixteen sand samples were collected. The samples were air dried and subjected to tests in accordance with standard specifications. The tests carried out were: specific gravity, grain size analysis, moisture content, bulk density, porosity, void ratio, chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction and Differential Thermal Analysis. The properties of the samples were compared with a standard (Ottawa sand in Illinois of the United States) in order to find out which of the four samples selected from southwestern Nigeria could serve as standard baseline sand. The results show that Igbokoda sand has geotechnical and mineralogical characteristics closest to Ottawa sand. It was therefore concluded that Igbokoda sand could be used as a standard baseline sand for research work in southwestern Nigeria and other parts of Nigeria since it needs little processing to bring it to the same level as standard baseline sand, like the Ottawa sand.

Polycrystalline ZrH2 in tetragonal crystal system has been compressed in a modified Bassett-type diamond anvil cell up to 36.0 GPa at room temperature. X-ray diffraction data did not indicate any phase transitions at the present pressure range. The pressure dependence of the a-axis, c-axis, c/a and molar volume of ZrH2 was determined at pressures up to 36.0 GPa. Assuming the pressure derivative of the bulk modulus (K0') to be 4.11 from an ultrasonic value on Zr, bulk modulus (K0) was determined to be 160Gpa by fitting the pressure-volume data to the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state. Same sample was heated at $500^{\circ}C$ at the pressure of 9.8 GPa in a modified Sung-type diamond anvil cell. Unloaded and quenched sample revealed that the original tetragonal structure transforms into a hexagonal structured phase with a zero-pressure molar volume change of ~115.5%.

Contamination of subsurface results in degradation of geomaterials (i.e., soils and rock mass), in the long run. This is mainly due to the presence of chemical and/or radiological materials in undesirable concentrations and at elevated temperatures. However, as contaminant-geomaterial interaction is an extremely slow and complex process, which primarily depends on their physical, chemical and mineralogical properties, it is quite difficult to study this interaction under laboratory or in situ conditions. In such a situation, accelerated physical modeling, using a geotechnical centrifuge, and finite element/difference based numerical modeling techniques are found to be quite useful. This paper presents details of various modeling techniques developed by the researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, India, for studying heat migration, flow and interaction (fate) of reactive and non-reactive contaminants in the geoenvironment, under saturated and unsaturated conditions. In addition, paper presents details of the technique that can be employed for determining susceptibility of a material to undergo physico-chemico-mineralogical alterations due to its interaction with contaminants.

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.

Using the ultrasonic interferometry on the single crystal MgO-periclase, adiabatic bulk moduli were determined to be 163.2 GPa and 162.6 GPa from (100) and (110) lattice plane measurements, respectively. Density was measured on polycrystalline MgO by the X-ray diffraction technique. Results from this study were compared with the previously reported values. Further, the present results were converted to the isothermal bulk moduli and, then compared with the published data available including the energy dispersive X-ray diffraction result which was performed on the same single crystal MgO. The principle and techniques ultrasonic interferometry were introduced too.

The terrestrial Ca-buserite has been found from Dongnam mine, Korea. It occurs in close association with rancieite in the manganese oxide ores which were formed by supergene weathering of hydrothermal rhodochrosite in veins. A study on this mineral using X-ray diffraction, infrared, polarizing and electron microscopes and dehydration experiment shows that the natural cabuserite (10$\AA$ phase) is more or less unstable, transforming partly to rancieite (7.5 $\AA$ phase) in the natural environment, and upon heating, its 10 $\AA$ line shifts to 7.5$\AA$ at 70-9$0^{\circ}C$. The Ca-buserite is the hydrate of rancieite.

Characteristics and variations of chemical compositions in Co-rich crusts occurred in the EEZ of the Republic of Marshall Islands were reviewed. Correlation coefficient analysis, hierarchical cluster analysis, and Q-mode factor analysis for 62 samples were done in this study. All data were selected and gathered from the open file report of the cooperative cruise done by United States Geological Survey with Scripps Institute of Oceanography, University of Hawaii or Korea Ocean Research Development Institute. The average of crust thickness. Co content, and Ni content of 62 samples from the 21 seamounts were 30mm, 0.58 wt% and 0.40%, respectively. The mineral phases and associated elements assigned by correlation coefficients, cluster analysis and Q-mode factor analysis are following four. 1) CFA: P, Ca, CO2, Y, Sr: 2) Mn-oxide mineral: As, Mn, Co, Na: 3) Al-silicate mineral: Pd,Si, Al, Cu, Fe: 4) PGE-bearing mineral: Rh, Pt, Ir.
