As a basic study for the application of natural zeolite as a concrete admixture, the compressive strength, activity factor, Ca(OH)₂ quantitative analysis and XRD experiments were investigated. It is thought that SiO₂, which is abundant in natural zeolite, affects the strength development by reacting with the hydration product of cement in all specimens in which natural zeolite was added according to powder level and substitution rate. As the substitution rate increases, the compressive strength decreases, which is considered to be due to the decrease in the amount of C₃S and C₂S minerals in the clinker, which affects the strength expression compared to the cement content of the reference mortar. The XRD crystal structure did not show a significant difference from the reference mortar, and it was confirmed that the Z2-10 (Blaine: 15,600㎠ / g) specimen with 10% substitution of natural zeolite was the best among the experimental levels. Substitution amount for use as concrete admixture is 10% substitution is most ideally seen.

본 논문에서는 시차열중량분석법과 X-선 회절분석법을 이용한 원전콘크리트의 탄산화에 의한 열화도 평가를 진행하였으며 두 가지 정성적 분석방법을 이용한 반정량적 평가 방법을 개발하였다. 원자력발전소 건설에 사용된 동일한 콘크리트 배합을 사용한 시편을 촉진 탄산화 시험장치에 28, 56, 91, 180, 365일 기간에 걸쳐 노출시켜 탄산화를 진행하였으며 노출된 시편은 시차열중량분석법, X-선 회절분석법을 이용하여 탄산화에 따라 발생된 열화생성물의 양을 정성적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 탄산화로 인해 발생되는 Calcite의 양이 노출기간에 따라 점차적으로 증가되는 것이 확인되었으며, Calcite의 생성을 위해 이산화탄소와 반응하는 Portlandite의 양이 점차적으로 감소되는 것이 확인되었다. 본 논문에서는 위의 언급된 두 방법의 관계성을 통해 열화도 평가를 진행하였다.

This research conducts a series of tests to investigate the setting retarding properties and strength development in cement pastes incorporating various types and dosages of sugar-based super retarding agents. Six such agents, including Sucrose, Sugar powder, Saccharin, Aspartame, Stevioside, and Mogroside, commercially available, were selected for evaluation. The study also examines the micro-structural properties of these cement pastes. The test mixtures were prepared using a 27.5% water-to-cement ratio and ordinary Portland cement. Micro-structural analyses were conducted using Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM), X-Ray Diffraction(XRD), and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy(EDS). The findings reveal that the incorporation of sucrose, sugar powder, and stevioside significantly retards the setting time. Particularly, adding 0.1% sucrose extended the setting time by approximately two-fold compared to the control(Plain) mixture. Most mixtures, barring those with sugar powder and stevioside, exhibited compressive strength comparable to the Plain mixture. Notably, with 0.2% sucrose, strength measurements were not feasible at 1 day, but at 3 days, the strength gains aligned with the Plain mixture. XRD, SEM, and EDS analyses confirmed the hydration delay(set retarding) of C3S due to sucrose, with further quantitative corroboration provided by EDS. SEM was used to verify the presence or absence of hydration products. The study concludes that sucrose, as a sugar-based retarder, offers effective set retarding capabilities and compressive strength development in concrete.

Advanced argillic, argillic, and phyllic zones are the most important alteration patterns to predict the hidden ore body during exploration of hydrothermal deposits. We examined the quantitative relationship between the spectral absorption characteristics and the mineral content of the synthetic mixtures such as alunite-kaolinite and illite-kaolinite using short wavelength infrared (SWIR) spectroscopy. In the alunite-kaolinite mixtures, the spectral absorption characteristics of the alunite was highly correlated with the Hull quotient reflectance(0.99) and the kaolinite had the highest correlation with the Gaussian peak(0.92). Illite-kaolinite mixtures are essential for Gaussian deconvolution because of the overlap of absorption region. Illite and kaolinite mixtures indicate the high correlation of 0.93 and 0.98, respectively. The error ranges in the alunite-kaolinite(8%) and illite-kaolinite mixtures(5%) derived from SWIR were smaller than the ones(29% and 26%) obtained from X-ray diffraction(Rietveld) analysis. These results show that SWIR spectroscopic analysis is more reliable than XRD Rietveld analysis in terms of quantification of allowed minerals.

We researched the variation of mineral composition with depth and the Cu adsorption behavior of Hwangto in the Okjong area, Hadong. The 4 Hwangto samples were collected from depth 10 cm, 25 cm, 2∼3 m and under 3 m from surface, and analyzed using the X­ray Diffractometer. The Hwangto samples were mostly composed of clay minerals such as kaolinite and halloysite. Two samples from 10 cm and 25 cm contained Fe or Al hydroxide minerals, for example goethite or gibbsite. As depth increases, the content of quartz decreases but that of kaolinite increases. The amount of Cu removal was rapidly rised from pH 4, and reached about 90％ at pH 6 and above 90％ at pH 7. It is regarded that the trend of Cu removal was affected by the difference in mineral composition. It was relatively well matched between experimental value and calculated value by MINTEQA2 program in the case of high Cu concentration. From this study the precipitation has important role for the removal of Cu ions, particularly in the case of high Cu concentration. However, it was discord between experimental value and calculated one in the dilute concentration circumstances. The reason may be the mistake in parameters, insufficient reaction time, and inadequate consideration of reaction site in mineral surface.

3Y-TZP containing 0.3∼1.2 wt% of $Al_2$O$_3$ was prepared by slip-casting after attrition milling. The specimen was sintered at 1390∼151$0^{\circ}C$ and mechanical characterization and microstructure analysis were conducted. Monoclinic content of the specimen was calculated by XRD. The apparent density of specimen increased with increasing sintering temperature. While above 1470%, the formation of m-ZrO$_2$ degraded the density. The microhardness of specimen decreased with temperature because monoclinic phase increased wit the grain growth. The specimen containing $Al_2$O$_3$ below 0.9 wt% sintered at 143$0^{\circ}C$ showed the highest microhardness of 1360 Hv.

The crystal structure of ZnS fabricated by gas-liquid phase reaction was obtained by XRD and refined by RIETAN near R$_{wp}$ factor 10%. The increasement of HCP phase depended on extra H$_2$S gas and the lattice parameter and crystalline size changed by the relative ratio of multiphase. Using ZnS of the different multiphase ratio and crystalline size, sintered ZnS:Cu, Al green phosphor and the CL property resulted optimum luminescence in the range of 91~94% and 150~190$\AA$, respectably, FCC/HCP ratio and crystalline size. As changing of structure ratio, the reason of different luminescence property is now studying. As well as, after XRD pattern of TiO$_2$powder fitted by RIETAN and the structure factor using MEED method simulated about each atom of (002) plane. Additionally, we proposed RIETAN and MEED were the methods of the study of luminescence mechanism for many phosphor materials.s.

The aim of this study is to evaluate fire-induced damage for shield tunnel linings. Full-scale fire test was conducted to evaluate fire-induced damage. Residual compressive strength was measured on the core samples of shield tunnel lining subjected to high temperatures. Heating temperature was predicted by XRD and TG analysis. As a result, Strength degradation of concrete with temperatures can be evaluated by residual compressive strength of core samples. In addition, residual compressive strength can be estimated by previous studies if heating temperature is exactly predicted. It is possible that heating temperature is predicted by XRD and TG analysis at $450^{\circ}C$. For more accurate prediction of heating temperature it should be performed both instrumental analysis and analytical methods with temperatures ranging from $400{\sim}600^{\circ}C$.
