본 연구에서는 나노구조의 새로운 망간산화물 입자(즉, 블랙-버네사이트)를 합성하여 물질특성 및 1,4-naphthoquinone (1,4-NPQ)을 대상으로 반응매개체 존재 하에서의 산화-변환반응 효율을 조사하였고, 그 결과를 기존의 McKenzie 방법으로 얻은 망간산화물(즉, 브라운-버네사이트)의 결과와 비교 분석하였다. XRD 분석 결과 합성한 망간산화물 입자의 결정상은 버네사이트(${\delta}-MnO_2$)임을 확인하였으며, SEM 측정결과 입자표면은 섬유상의 구조에 의한 나노크기의 미세기공을 가진 볼모양(ball-like)의 형태를 보였다. 배치실험 결과, 나노구조의 망간산화물에 의한 1,4-NPQ 제거는 유사-1차 반응을 따랐으며 기존 망간산화물과 비교해 BET 비표면적 값이 작음(41.05 vs 19.80 $m^2/g$)에도 불구하고 약 2.3배의 높은 속도 상수값을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 블랙-버네사이트에서의 상대적으로 높은 결정성과 나노구조의 표면 특성에 기인한 것으로 해석되며, 블랙-버네사이트 입자가 퀴논화합물에 대하여 상대적으로 높은 반응성을 보임을 알 수 있다. 반응산물에 대한 HPLC 크로마토그램 분석 결과로부터 블랙 버네사이트 입자에 의한 1,4-NPQ의 제거는 반응 매개체인 catechol 존재 하에서의 상호-결합반응을 통한 중합체 생성을 통해 제거됨을 확인하였다.

In the present work, we address the new route for the green synthesis of manganese dioxide (MnO₂) by an innovative method named the solution plasma process (SPP). The reaction mechanism of both colloidal and nanostructured MnO₂ was investigated. Firstly, colloidal MnO₂ was synthesized by plasma discharging in KMnO₄ aqueous solution without any additives such as reducing agents, acids, or base chemicals. As a function of the discharge time, the purple color solution of MnO₄^- (oxidation state +7) was changed to the brown color of MnO₂ (oxidation state +4) and then light yellow of Mn²⁺ (oxidation state +2). Based on the UV-vis analysis we found the optimal discharging time for the synthesis of stable colloidal MnO₂ and also reaction mechanism was verified by optical emission spectroscopy (OES) analysis. Secondly, MnO₂ nanoparticles were synthesized by SPP with a small amount of reducing sugar. The precipitation of brown color was observed after 8 min of plasma discharge and then completely separated into colorless solution and precipitation. It was confirmed layered type of nanoporous birnessite-MnO₂ by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and electron microscopes. The most important merits of this approach are environmentally friendly process within a short time compared to the conventional method. Moreover, the morphology and the microstructure could be controllable by discharge conditions for the appropriate potential applications, such as secondary batteries, supercapacitors, adsorbents, and catalysts.

The kaolin deposits in Hadong-Sancheong area, have been formed by supergene weathering of anorthositic rocks including anorthosite, leucogabbro, and gabbro. Kaolin consists chiefly of halloysite(10$\AA$) and kaolinite with other minerals such as illite, vermiculite, plagioclase, hornblende, quartz amorphous materials(allophane and siica), goethite, and hematite. Goethite and hematite are the major coloring agents of the reddish brown and other colored kaolins. Other common accessory minerals are magnetite, ilmentite, anatase, gibbsite, I/S, C/V, chlorite, lithiophorite, and birnessite. Paragonite, dravite, laumontite, clinozoisite, muscovite, scolecite, stellerite are locally found. Al substitution of Fe in goethite and hematite decreases from the surface zone toward the deeper zone. The kaolin deposits show three horizontal zoning; the upper reddish brown, middle pink, and lower white zones. All the zones are characterized by somewhat different mineralogy. The factors for the formation of kaolin deposits in Hadong-Sancheong area are 1) the presence of anorthositic rocks, 2) the low flat or gentle topography, 3) the favorable climate, and 4) the long-continued preservation of kaolins with-out erosion.
