초록

실체현미경과 전계방출형 주사전자현미경 관찰, 에너지분산형 분광분석기를 이용한 화학 분석을 통하여 황해중앙이질대에서 채취된 46개의 표층 퇴적물 시료 내에 포함되어 있는 중광물의 종류, 함량, 광물 특성 및 분포를 연구하였으며, 이 결과를 바탕으로 조립질 퇴적물의 기원지를 유추하였다. 황해중앙이질대 표층 퇴적물 내에 존재하는 중광물들은 녹렴석군 광물, 각섬석군 광물, 석류석군 광물, 저어콘, 금홍석, 스핀 순으로 산출하는데, 특히 녹렴석군 광물과 각섬석군 광물의 비율이 50% 이상으로 매우 높다. 녹렴석군 광물은 녹렴석, 각섬석군 광물은 에데나이트, 석류석군 광물은 알만딘이 대부분인 것으로 판단된다. 황해중앙이질대를 $124^{\circ}E$ 기준으로 구분할 경우, 동부지역이 서부지역에 비해 녹렴석 및 풍화에 강한 (저어콘 + 금홍석)의 함량은 높고, 풍화에 약한 각섬석의 함량은 낮게 나타난다. 이는 서부지역의 퇴적물은 기원지에 가까운 곳에, 동부지역의 퇴적물은 기원지로부터 먼 곳에 퇴적되었을 것임을 시사해준다. 추후 황해로 유입되는 강 퇴적물과 해양 퇴적물에 대한 추가적인 중광물 연구가 진행되어야만 정확한 기원지와 퇴적과정에 대한 해석을 할 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다.

We studied the heavy minerals in 46 surface sediments collected from the Central Yellow Sea Mud (CYSM) to characterize the type, abundance, mineralogical properties and distribution pattern using the stereo-microscopy, field-Emission scanning electron microscopy (FE SEM) and chemical analysis through the energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Heavy mineral assemblages are primarily composed of epidote group, amphibole group, garnet group, zircon, rutile and sphene in descending order. Epidote group and amphibole group minerals account for more than 50% of total heavy minerals. The minerals in epidote group, amphibole group and garnet group in studied area are epidote, edenite and almandine, respectively. When we divided the CYSM into two regions by $124^{\circ}E$, the eastern region contain higher contents of epidote and (zircon + rutile), which are more resistant to weathering but lower of amphibole, which is less resistant to weathering than the western region. Based on this results, it is possible to estimate that the eastern region sediments are transported for a long distance while western region sediments are transported for a short distance from the source area. In the future, the additional study on the heavy minerals in river sediments flowing into the Yellow Sea and much more samples for marine sediments must be carried out to interpret exactly the provenance and sedimentation process.
