  • 동굴 속에서 박쥐 배설물에 의하여 형성된 구아노에는 쇄설성 광물과 더불어 배설물 내의 성분과 주변 암석과의 반응 등을 통하여 생성된 다양한 황산염 및 인산염 광물들이 존재한다. 따라서 이러한 광물들의 연구는 광물형성에 영향을 미치는 동굴 내 지구화학적 환경에 대한 기본적인 정보를 제공한다. 본 연구는 국내의 대표적인 세 석회동굴에서 구아노의 시료를 채취하여 이들에 대한 광물학적 특성과 화학 성분 비교를 통하여 동굴 내 구아노를 구성하는 기본적인 광물 성분을 밝히고 이들의 특성에 영향을 미치는 인자를 도출하고자 실시되었다. 연구 결과 고씨동굴의 경우 채취된 시료에서 운모, 석영, 장석과 같은 쇄설성 광물과 더불어 많은 양의 석고가 함께 산출되었다. 석고의 양은 하부로 갈수록 증가하며 이것은 백룡동굴과 석류동굴과는 다른 특징이다. 백룡동굴의 시료는 쇄설성 광물로 카올리나이트를 추가적으로 포함하며 상대적으로 매우 적은 양의 석고를 포함한다. 성류동굴 시료의 경우 쇄설성 광물의 성분은 고씨동굴과 같으나 석고 대신 바사나이트가 미량으로 관찰된다. 이러한 광물의 분포는 구아노 시료의 화학분석 결과와 일치한다. 이러한 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 고씨동굴에서는 많은 양의 박쥐 배설물로부터 상대적으로 습도가 높거나 홍수가 자주 일어나는 환경에서 이차광물이 형성되었음을 의미한다. 또한 성류동굴의 경우는 비교적 건조한 환경에서 생성되는 바사나이트의 존재로 미루어 볼 때 다른 동굴에 비하여 상대적으로 건조한 환경에서 생성되었음을 지시한다.

  • Pyrophyllite, kaolinite, and alunite deposits distributing in Southwestern parts of Cheonnam are classified into three types of minerals assemblages by the results of X-ray diffraction analysis etc. The first mineral assemblages contains pyrophyllite, kaolinite, dickite, quartz, diaspore and/or corundum, the second one contains alunite inseads of corundum, and the third one contains alunite without pyrophyllite and diaspore. It is can be considered that the depoSits which consist mainly of pyrophyllite are formed higher temperature than the other deposits. Judging form the chemical analyses the chemical compositions of hydrothermal solutions acting to the deposits seem to be relatively simple. But the hydrothermal solutions which generated Dogcheon, Jugjcon, Ogmaesan, and Seongsan mine contain rather somewhat higher $K_2O$. The values of the Trace Elements and REE analysis of the host rocks of deposits suggest that the host rocks are these deposits are the last products of magmatic differentiation.

  • palaeomagnetism is a major implement to define tectonic provinces and to estimate their past relative position quantitatively. In this sort of investigation it is tacitly assumed that the magnetization of the rocks under study was acquired at the time of their formation. However, because of the possibility of secondary alteration and/or replacement of magnetic minerals, this assumption is not always legitimate. To secure reliable palaeomagnetic data it is therefore fundamental to identify the carrier mineral of magnetization. This paper reviews magnetic mineralogy relevant to palaeomagnetism of terrestrial rocks. Under the heading of each mineral its genesis, crystal structure, magnetic properties, criteria for ore microscopic determination and secondary alteration are summerized. This paper should also be helpful in application of magnetic mineralogy to geothermometry and oxygen barometry in igneous petrology, diagenesis and provenance study in sedimentary petrology, metamorphic temperature determination and genesis study of ore deposits.

  • Chemical weathering processes related with mineralogical characters and ground water condition are very essential engineering problems in soluble rock masses. Detailed geological mapping were performed and 8 samples were collected from the 2 formations including various rock faces to deduce the possibility of the limestone cavity formation and their mechanism. Petrological descriptions and various petro-mineralogical experiments such as XRD analysis, clay mineral analysis, absorptivity test, impurity analysis were conducted to evaluate the cavity making processes. Laboratory solubility test for rock specimen were also carried out under the strong acid (pH=1) condition. From the experimental data and geological mapping data, it is found that the formation of limestone cavities in limestones are strongly related with geological structures such as beddings, cleavages and the contents of impurities rather than CaCO$_3$contents. In case of dolomites, rock textures, grain size, amounts and types of clay minerals as well as geological structures are major controlling factors of cavity forming processes

  • The study area is mainly composed of metasedimentary rocks which are included in Ogchon, Choson and Pyongan Groups. Because of thrust faults which are developed in this area, a coal bearing formation is repeatedly distributed two times, and Choson Group is thrusted over Pyongan Group. Deformation in this area was taken place in a series of three phases ($D_1$, $D_2$ and $D_3$) ; $D_1$ was most intense whereas $D_3$ was weakest. Thrust faults developed in the upper curst duringD2 produced cataclastic rocks and fault breccia,truncating regional slaty cleavage and earlier folds which were formed during $D_1$ stage. The quartz microstructures of metapsammitic rocks in Choson and Pyongan Groups suggest that dislocation creep mechanism predominated early in fabric development, afterwards deformation mechanism was transfered to pressure solution which intensified the earlier fabrics. According to strain analysis using quartz grains and quartz aggregate grains, the strain magnitude(Es) of Pyongan Group represents larger values than that of Choson Group due to the contrast of constituent minerals, the size of original quartz grains and matrix content. Apparent flattening type in strain pattern appears in the whole area. It is suggested that the relationship between Ogchon Group and Choson Group may be thrust contact.

  • The Kyungju pyrophyllite deposits were formed by the hydrothermal alteration of andesitic rocks, which were intruded by Cretaceous granite mass. The major minerals are pyrophyllite, kaolinite and chlorite. The deposits may be zoned outward into pyrophyllite zone, silicified pyrophyllite zone and weakly altered zone (propyrilite zone) according to mineral assemblages. Chemical compositions vary in close relation with the mineralogical assemblages: $Al_2O_3$ content is high due to pyrophyllitization at the deposits and altered zones in comparison to andesitic country rocks, while the contents of $Na_2O$, CaO and MgO are generally low due to leaching during the alteration. This variation of chemical elements may be applicable in the geochemical exploration of pyrophyllite deposits.

  • The most widely used parameter to represent rock abrasiveness is the Cerchar abrasivity index (CAI). The CAI value can be applied to predict wear in TBM cutters. It has been extensively demonstrated that the CAI is affected significantly by cementation degree, strength, and amount of abrasive minerals, i.e., the quartz content or equivalent quartz content in rocks. The relationship between the properties of rocks and the CAI is investigated in this study. A database comprising 223 observations that includes rock types, uniaxial compressive strengths, Brazilian tensile strengths, equivalent quartz contents, quartz contents, brittleness indices, and CAIs is constructed. A linear model is developed by selecting independent variables while considering multicollinearity after performing multiple regression analyses. Machine learning-based regression methods including support vector regression, regression tree regression, k-nearest neighbors regression, random forest regression, and artificial neural network regression are used in addition to multiple linear regression. The results of the random forest regression model show that it yields the best prediction performance.

  • In order to investigate processes and factors controlling the chemical and isotopic compositions of the Han River, seasonal studies were carried out. The North Han River was much lower in the concentrations of total dissolved solids (TDS), dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and major ions than the South Han River, but higher in $SiO_2$ concentration, $\delta$$^{34}$ $S_{so4}$ value and $^{87}$ Sr/$^{86}$ Sr ratio. This indicates that the chemical and isotopic compositions of the Han River were strongly controlled by the geology of their drainage basins: silicate rocks in the North Han River and carbonate rocks in the South Han River. The $\delta$$^{34}$ $S_{so4}$ values were relatively higher in the North Han River (5.90$\pm$1.46$\textperthousand$)) than in the South Han River (3.48$\pm$0.73$\textperthousand$). This implies that dissolved S $O_{4}$$^{2-}$ in the North Han River might be mostly derived from deposition of atmospheric sulfates, whereas in the South Han River from oxidation of sulfide minerals in the abandoned poly-metallic deposits and the coal-bearing sedimentary rocks distributed over the upstream as well as deposition of atmospheric sulfates. The $^{87}$ S $r^{86}$ Sr ratios in the North Han River were distinctly higher than those in the South Han River, reflecting water-rock interaction with different rock types.pes.

  • 이 연구는 충남 보령 정전 및 오천 지역 석면 광상의 성인적 차이에 대해서 이다. 두 광산은 지난 수십년 동안 석면 광산으로 개발이 되었던 곳이다. 정전광산의 모암은 사문암이고 오천광산의 모암은 백운암이다. 석면 시료 및 모암시료가 야외 조사에서 채취 되었고, 석면의 종류 및 원소 함량을 알아보기 위해 광학 현미경 및 주사전자 현미경으로 관찰되었고, X-선 회절분석기, 에너지 분산 분광장치를 이용하여 분석 되었다. 석면들은 열수의 유입통로로 추정되는 층리, 균열, 열극을 따라 발견이 되나, 둘 사이에서는 두드러진 특성 차이를 보인다. 정전의 사문암은 백석면, 투각섬석 석면, 양기석 석면을 포함한다. 비석면형의 투각섬석과 양기석도 발견이 된다. 백석면은 맥에서 교차 섬유, 미끌림섬유로서 산출되고, 수 mm에서 cm의 두께의 균열에서 산출된다. 투각섬석과 양기석 석면은 수 cm에서 수 십 cm 두께의 균열 및 열극을 따라 발견이 된다. 이는 정전지역의 석면이 사문암과 열수의 반응에 의해 형성되었음을 암시한다. 오천 지역의 백운암은 투각섬석 및 양기석 석면을 포함한다. 이 석면들은 층리, 균열, 열극에서 산출된다. 이는 오천 지역의 석면이 백운암과 열수의 상호 작용에 의해 형성 되었음을 암시한다. 위의 결과 들은 같은 행정 구역인 보령 지역에서도 두 다른 모암을 갖는 석면 광산이 위치함을 보여 주고 있다. 이들은 성인의 차이를 반영하여 석면광물에서도 차이를 보인다.

  • The study focused on the petrology and petrochemistry of the so called "Ganghwa syenitic rocks" which intruded into metasediment of basement in southeastern part of Ganghwa Island. The geologic sequence of the mapped area was shown in table 1, 10 model analyses and 7 chemical analyses on the rock samples taken from the Ganghwa syenitic rocks and Manisan granite have been used to discuss the nomenclature of the rocks and petrological relationship between rock types. The petrograpical and petrochemical features based on, the analyses are as follows: 1) Ganghwa syenitic rocks consist of Ganghwa alkali syenite and Ganghwa diorite porphyry which based on the classification of the subcommision on systematics of igneous of IGUS. Ganghwa diorite porphyry which occured as dike forms are intruded into Ganghwa alkali syenite. The rock forming minerals of Ganghwa alkali syenite are composed of perthite, plagioclase, quartz, hornblend and chlorite in major, and zircon, apatite, sericite and magnetite in minor. Ganghwa diorite porphyries consist of plagioclase, biotite, hornblend, orthoclase and chlorite, with, porphyritic texture. 2) In silica-oxides variation (Fig. 2) and AMF diagram (Fig_ 3), the Ganghwa alkali syenite is similar to the trend of Daly's average basalt-andesite-dacite-rhyolite than Skaergaard which shows the trend of the fractional crystallization of magma, and equivalent to the alkali rock series by Peacock. 3) The general trend of data points shift to plagioclase, and are superimposed on the alkali rich terminal part of the granodiorite province of SW Finland in normative Q-Kf-Pl(Fig. 4) and Or-Ab-An diagram respectively. The above-mentioned evidences suggested that the Ganghwa syenitic rocks are the differential products resulted by assimilation of intermediated magma and metasedment rock under relatively rapid cooling condition.
