  • A series of experiments was performed to increase and make our puantitive understanding of the entrainuent and settling processes of fine-grained sediments, which are of critical importance to construct a predictive model of sediment experiments were performed in an annular flume. A rotating top produced a turbulent flow which in turn exerted and are shown to be dependent on the sediment concentration and the presence of clay minerals. The parameters on which entrainment strongly depends were identified to be the shear stress, water content (time ofter deposition), and the type of sediment (grain size and mineralogy).

  • The Daehwa and Donsan tungsten-molybdenum deposits are composed of numerous fissure-filling veins developed in Precambrian gneiss and Cretaceous granite and quartz porphyry. K-Ar age of biotite in granite and that of muscovite in ore veins are $105{\pm}5\;Ma$ and 88.2~88.6 Ma respectively. Occurrence of ore deposits shows that relevant igneous rock is possibly quartz porphyry rather than above mentioned granite in temporal view point. Vein structure and mineralogy suggest that ore veins were formed by continuous vein filling, not by repeated mineralization. Three distinct depositional stages with decreasing age can be devided on the basis of mineral paragenesis and fluid inclusion studies: Stage I, deposition of oxides and silicates; stage II, deposition of base-metal sulfides and sulfosalts with carbonates; stage III, deposition of barren calcite and fluorite. Tungsten, molybdenum and tin mineralization occurred in stage I.

  • The Andong serpentinite body is distributed along the Andong fault, and shows an elliptical shape. The serpentinite is composed of serpentine minerals and other various minerals such as forsterite, pyroxene, talc, tremolite, chlorite, prehnite, calcite and dolomite. The serpentine minerals consist primarily of lizardite with minor chrysotile. Antigorite rarely occurs in some veins. The serpentinite is largely divided into two alteration zones by the occurrence and mineral assemblages. One of the alteration zones is composed of a large amount of serpentine minerals. The other is characterized by tremolite and chlorite. The alteration zone composed of tremolite and chlorite seems to have been formed by hydrothermal alteration after the formation of serpentinite. It is considered that the serpentinite have been formed by alteration of the ultramafic rock such as peridotite.

  • 골재의수요는 매년 크게 증가하고 있으나 천연골재는 점차 고갈되어 가고 있다. 따라서 기존석산들에서 발생되는 폐석자원을 쇄석골재로 활용하면 일거양득의 효과가 있다. 본 연구는 국내에서 가장 대규모 석산단지인 포천 및 익산지역 기존석산에서 발생되는 석산폐석에 대한 물리적, 화학적 및 광물학적 시험.분석을 실시하여, 쇄석골재로서 석산폐석의 특성규명과 활용가능성을 평가하였다. 연구결과, 포천과 익산지역에서 발생되는 석산폐석을 쇄석골재로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었으며, 폐석자원을 쇄석골재로 활용함으로써 골재의 수요에 보충하고, 산림 및 자연경관의 훼손과 환경오염을 야기할 수 있는 석산골재 신규개발의 억제에도 효과가 기대된다.

  • Soil properties which affect the retention of Pb(I) were investigated in the laboratory. It was determined, through selective removal, that organic matter and Fe-oxides are of lesser importance in influencing Pb retention than are soil clay minerals. The following trend : clays > organic matter > Fe-oxides represents the relative importance of each constituent in the adsorption of Pb by soils. The consistently greater Pb uptake by surface over subsurface samples was apparently due to differences in organic matter content, inasmuch as organic matter removal from both resulted in similar adsorption characteristics. All five soils stooled exhibited a pH-dependent trend of adsorption. The extent of Pb adsorption was least at low pH values(4~5), was maximum in the neutral pH range, and leveled off or diminished under more alkaline conditions. There was no strong correlation between Pb uptake and soil cation exchange capacity as routinely measured by the NH$_4$OAc method. A knowledge of clay mineralogy in conjunction with soil pH is suggested as being the most reliable guide to predicting Pb retention by soils.

  • The mobility of sulfate in soils defends on several factors including redox potential, soil mineralogy, pH, and the presence of other anions that compete for sorption sites with sulfate. The proposed model of adsorption mechanism for sulfate postulated that reaction is between anions in solution and charged surfaces of soil particles. With appropriate choice of parameters obtained from the adsorption-desorption experiments, the equation of transport model adapt an empirical approach, capable of handling most general equilibrium adsorption isotherms, suitable for multispecies systems.

  • 경남 울산군 농소면의 울산사문석광산에서 세피오라이트(sepiolite)가 발견되었다. 그래서 이 세피오라이트시료에 대해 X-선회절분석, 열분석, 적외선분광분석, 투과전자현미경관찰 및 화학분석을 행하여 그 결과를 기술하였다. 본 세피오라이트는 사문암과 염기성암체와의 접촉부에 발달된 열극충진상 세맥에서 산출된다. 이 세맥내에서 많은 암편들이 포함되어 있는데, 그 기질부분은 회백색을 띠며 연질이고 부드러운 가죽같은 느낌을 준다. 이 기질부분이 거의 순수한 세피오라이트로 구성되어 있다. X-선회절분석의 결과로부터 이 광물시료가 결정도가 높은 {{{{ alpha }}-세피오라이트에 해당된다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 이 세피오라이트의 화학성분은 Mg를 많이 함유하는 일반적인 세피오라이트와 유사하였다. 산상 및 광물학적 특성으로 볼 때 이 세피오라이트는 열수용액에서 직접 침전하여 형성된 것으로 사료된다.

  • As a factor which can help to understand the genesis of (mata) sedimentary and/or hydrothermal uranium depisits, an interpretation of the role of organic matter associated with uranium mineralization, was attempted with the literature published up to the end of 1986. Laboratory studies, in which diageneis and metamorphism are artificially simulated, can help to elucidate how uranium with particular organic materials are formed and destroyed. Similarly, research involving a variety of techniques is needed to characterize both the soluble organic extracts (bitumen) and the insoluble organic matter (kerogen), separated from uranium ores and associated rocks. In the presence of clay minerals and amorphous oxy-hydroxde minerals, an understanding of the role of organic matter must be prudent and may require the incorporation of multidisciplinary approach (mineralogy, inorganic geochemistry ...).

  • New methods of nano-sized material and composite coating preparations have been considered on the base of mathematical model of abrasion-reaction interaction of milling and grinding bodies in planetary centrifugal mill. The essence of the method is the abrasive and oxidative wear of the milling bodies and amorphous (better inert) additives. Interactions between them has been supplied the necessary impulse of pressure and temperature on the impact-frictional contacts and promoted chemical processes. The offered method can find application for such processing as sintering and geological minerals opening.

  • Pneumoconiosis is the result of the long-continued inhalation of dusts and it depends on the interaction between the man and the cloud to which he is exposed. The health effects of dusts, especially silica dust exposure have been since Egyptians had constructed the pyramids in ancient times. Subsequently, many works, including miners, milers, quarry workers, sandblasters, tunnel drivers, are occupationally exposed to mineral dusts. These workers may develop pneumoconiosis and in some instances, malignant neoplasms, particularly lung cancer, as a result of such exposures.Both quantity and quality of mineral dusts in the lungs show significant correlation with the degree of damage from pneumoconiosis. So mineralogical techniques require in pathological studies and in estimation of the airborne dusts in working places.Mineralogy has played an important role in both branches of the protective procedure. This lecture presents the knowledge on lung dust, cytotoxicity and fibrogenetic activity of minerals and control procedures for pneumoconiosis from pont of mineralogist.
