Mineralogical study was carried out for heavy minerals in the sea sand near Ongjingun bay, Kyonggi-do separated using the gravity and magnetic separators. Ilmenite, zircon and minor monazite and garnet were valuable minerals with gangue minerals of quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, muscovite, hornblende, epidote and chlorite. Quantitative analysis with SIROQUANT program showed that the contents of ilmenite separated with the gravity separation (the shaking table separation), the 1st step magnetic separation (rare earth magnetic separation) and the 2nd step magnetic separation (the Eddy current magnetic separation) were increased into 0.8, 18.3, and 48.7%, respectively. The content of ilmenite, monazite and zircon were recalculated based on the chemical composition of the representative and heavy fraction products of raw sand, the 1 step and 2 step gravity separations, and the 1 step and 2 step magnetic separations. The content increased to 0.23, 0.55, 5.22, 16.17, and 44.99% in ilmenite, 0.11, 0.02, 0.16, 0.51, and 1.19% in monazite. Although the zircon content did not differ over the processes (0.13, 0.12, 0.11, 0.15, and 0.10%), the improved recovery of zircon is expected by applying sieving process because of its high content (27%) in the fine grain size fraction (< 140#) of the 2 step gravity separation.

전자현미분석외에 금-은 고용체의 금 또는 은 성분을 결정할 수 있는 간편하고도 신뢰성 높은 측정법 개발은 응용 광물학자들에게 오랜 연구과제가 되어 왔다. 이를 달성하기 위한 방법으로 정량적으로 측정할 수 있는 단위포 상수, 반사도, 비중, 미경도 측정연구를 실시하였다. 이 실험을 위해 순수한 원소 금과 은을 5 at.% 간격으로 혼합하여 시료를 제작한 후 석영관을 사용하여 진공하에서 밀봉하였다. 고온에서 가열하여 용융시킨 후 서냉하여 얻어진 반응물을 각종 현미경, X 선 회절분석기, 전자현미분석기, 반사도측정기, 비중저울, 미경도측정기를 사용하여 분석하였다. 직경이 114.6 nm 인 Debye-Scherrer 카메라를 사용해 얻은 X 선분말회절자료로 계산한 단위포 상수의 크기는 은함량이 증가함에 따라 일정하게 증가한다. 반사도 측정에는 480nm와 546nm 두파장을 사용하였는데 두 파장 모두에 대해 은 함량이 증가할수록 반사도가 증가한다. 또한 480nm를 사용했을 때의 반사도 변화가 현저하므로 유용하다. 비중은 은 함량이 증가할수록 오히려 일정하게 감소한다. 한편, 25g과 50g 추를 사용하여 측정한 미경도 값은 금-은고용체내의 성분변화에 관계없이 불규칙하게 변하여 어떤 경향을 나타내지 않는다.

제주도 대표토양을 대상으로 이들의 모재 및 토양단면의 토양 특성을 조사하고, 제주도 대표토양의 주요 유해 중금속 원소의 총 함량을 분석하여 그 분포특성과 이화학 및 광물학적 특성을 비교 평가하였다. 주성분분석 결과 전형적인 화산회토의 특성을 보이는데 하부 층위에서 Si, Al, Fe 함량의 증가 및 표토에서의 염기용탈을 보여주었다. 현무암질 모재 기원임을 보여주는 ferromagnesian 광물들이 주로 관찰되었으며 심토에서는 상당량의 깁사이트가 관찰되는 것이 특징인데 이는 표토에서 과잉 생성된 알루미늄이 하부토양으로 이동하여 이차적으로 생성집적된 것으로 판단된다. 중금속 총함량 분석결과, Zn, Ni, Co, Cr의 함량이 세계 토양 내 함량범위를 초과하였으며 향후 진행될 연구에서 제주도 화산회 토양의 주 점토구성광물인 알로페인을 비롯한 점토광물 및 비정질 물질에 대한 특성 및 정량적 조사와 중금속원소별 화학적 형태 파악을 위한 연속추출분석 등을 수행하여 중금속원소의 존재상을 규명하고 지표 토양 및 지하수 환경으로의 중금속 이동성을 평가하고자 한다.

Mineral compositions of the Gyeonggi Bay surface sediments were determined using the high resolution X-ray diffractometer and Siroquant v. 3.0 program. Surface sediments are composed of rock forming minerals (quartz 63.8%, plagioclase 12.9%, alkali feldspar 11.7%, muscovite 4.3%, amphibole 1.2%, biotite 0.5% on average), clay minerals (illite 2.4%, chlorite 1.4%, kaolinite 0.4%) and carbonate minerals (calcite 0.1%, aragonite 0.3%). Coarse sediments are high in the northern, southern and central parts of the study area, whereas fine sediments are high in the northern and southern parts of the central area. Coarse sediments have relatively a high quartz content in the northern part, and relatively high plagioclase and muscovite contents in the southern part of the study area. In the southern part and the northern part of central area, fine sediments have relatively a high illite content, and chlorite and kaolinite contents, respectively.

The 1M and $2M_1$ stacking sequences are the most frequently encountered in the illite species among the possible 6 polytypes. The $1M_d$, derived from the 1M polytype which exhibits a variable degree of disorder in the stacking sequence, is also observed in illite samples. In this paper, the author introduces and reviews the theoretical background of the quantitative analysis method of illite polytypes, and considers the possibility to determine the fault age and its reactivation age using K/Ar age-dating based on the quantification of illite polytypes in the fault system. For the increase of the accuracy and precision of the illite age analysis method, the occurrence, identification, and mineralogical characterization of illite polytypes should be defined in detail. The broadening effect of (hkl) reflections, due to disordering of 1M polytype and the presence of I/S minerals with expandability, are also considered as the main parameters controlling the quantification of illite polytypes using the WILDFIRE(C)simulation.

The absolute clay mineral compositions and regional distribution of the 131 bulk marine surface sediments around the Jeju Island was compared to their relative compositions and distribution using quantitative X-ray diffraction analysis. Average absolute clay mineral composition is illite 15.3% (0.5~40.5%), chlorite 2.6% (0~7.9%), and kaolinite 1% (0~5.6%). Total contents of the clay minerals are very high in the South Sea of Korea, northwestern part and southern offshore of Jeju Island. The average relative composition is illite 70.9% (16.7~89%), chlorite 21.5% (8.4~68.5%), and kaolinite 7.6% (0~29.3%). Relative illite contents are high in the northwestern and southeastern part of study area, and southern part of Jeju Island. Chlorite contents are high in the eastern part of study area and western part of Jeju Island. Kaolinite contents are high in the western and southern part of Jeju Island, and southern offshore of Jeju Isand. Absolute Distribution patterns are very similar to those of fine-grained (from clay to silt) sediment, whereas relative distribution patterns do not show any relationship with those of fine-grained sediment.

Quantitative analysis of iron ore sinter consisting of hematite, magnetite, calcium ferrite and slag was investigated by X-ray internal standard method. After selecting NaF and $SiO_2$as internal standard materials, the calibration curves were determined and were applied to quantitative analysis of the internal standard method. Calcium ferrite was identified as a solid solution of CaO.$2Fe_2$$O_3$with 7 wt% and 3 wt% solubility of $AI_2$$O_3$and $SiO_2$, respectively. The maximum deviation of quantitative analysis of synthetic iron ore was about $\pm$5 wt%. The contents of each mineral calculated in industrial sinter were 27~40 wt% of hematite, 20~30 wt% of magnetite, 22~33 wt% of calcium ferrite and 10~20 wt% of slag.

The rocks exposed on the surface undergo expedite weathering process due to the effects of climatic process, etc. and the weathering process changes the properties of minerals, thereby lowering the stability of rocks. Therefore, it is important to examine the composition of minerals in order to investigate the resistance of rocks against weathering, which is performed by weathering sensitivity analysis. And microscopic flaking test was performed for the bored samples in this study and the composition of minerals that are vulnerable to weathering was measured through mode analysis. The lithological and mineralogical weathering factors were evaluated through this process. Furthermore, the degree of progress of weathering was identified by quantitatively measuring the actual mineral composition of rocks through X-Ray diffraction analysis and identifying the secondary minerals through observation with a scanning electron microscope. This analyzing the weathering sensitivity was analyzed to be capable of determining appropriate indicators that can determine weather resistance and predicting the weathering grade using chemical weathering speed.

지리적으로 이격된 마산과 서부산 지역의 불국사 화강암 분포지에서 정량적인 풍화도를 판별하기 위해 화학적 풍화지수와 등급을 산정하였다. 연구를 위해 채취된 시료에 대해 풍화 생성광물 동정, 전암분석, 산침수에 의한 이온용출 시험을 실시하였으며, 풍화지수와 지형적인 요소와 풍화속도를 고려하여 풍화등급들 산정하였다. 분석 결과 동일한 물리적, 광물학적 특성을 가지고 있으나 풍화에 따라 생성되는 점토광물의 종류와 함량에서 차이를 보여주며, 풍화의 진행 경로과 범위는 매우 상이한 결과를 보여 준다. 이러한 결과는 암석의 풍화가 모암의 조건 외에 지형, 지질구조, 기온, 강수량과 같은 환경적인 요소에 밀접하게 관련되어 있는 것을 의미할 뿐만 아니라 풍화도 산정에서 환경적인 요소에 대한 해석이 반드시 요구된다.
