The adsorption of heavy metals in the waste water carried out on the various domestic clays and waste pottery. The effect of parameters such as pH, temperature, adsorption time and coexisting cations on the adsorption ability and characteristics were investigated to find out whether the clays could be used as adsorbents. Adsorption equilibrium was reached within 20 minutes on all the clays. The optimum pH was found to be above 5. When other cations such as Cu(II) or Zn(II) coexisted with Pb(II), the adsorption amount of Pb(II) decreased because of competing adsorption.

This study was carried out to investigate characteristics and Pb(II) removal effect of natural clays in the batch mode test. The effect of parameters such as temperature, adsorption time and coexisting cations on the sorption ability and characteristics was investigated to find out whether the clays could be used as adsorbents. Several natural clays from domestic have been investigated to have high specific surface area and have minerals such as SiO$_2$ and $Al_2$O$_3$. As a result, removal effects of Pb(II) on clays were reached at equilibrium in aqueous solutions by stirring about 20 minutes. The removal effect of Pb(II) was best for Kang Jin clay than other clays in terms of fixed time. Adsorption efficiency was not influenced by the possibility of continuous treatment system of wastewater which contain heavy metals by using natural clays from domestic.

Four kinds of clays from Sinyewon mine which is located in Chungchoungnam-Do district and two kinds of Japanese clays (Gairome, Kibushi) were selected and studied on the fundamental properties of these clays and those which are refined by the elutriation method. Chemical analysis, grading analysis such as refractoriness, specific gravity, color, fired color and plasticity, particle size distribution, various thermal tests, X-ray diffraction analysis and electron microscopic survey were carried out on these clays. The comparison of domestic clays with Japanese clays was made. 1. In chemical composition and physical properties, these four kinds of Sinyewon clays are almost similar to each other and also to Gairome and Kibushi clays. In refractoriness, Gairome and Kibushi clays have relatively high value such as SK 34 and 35, while Sinyewon clays have the value of about SK 32. Especially Sinyewon clay B has the low refractoriness (SK 18) and plasticity. Refined clays have the tendency of somewhat higher value than crude ones in refractoriness. 2. When burnt up to $900^{\circ}C$, the coefficients of contraction of Sinyewon clays were under 1.5%, Gairome under 1.3%, Kibushi under 3.0%. Only Sinyewon clay B showed expansion (1.0%) instead of contraction. 3. X-ray diffraction analysis and electron micrography showed that all of four Sinyewon clays and two Japanese clays are mainly composed of poorly crystallized kaolin, containing small amount of halloysite, sericite and considerable amount of quartz and feldspar. Sinyewon clay B contains especially large amount of quartz and feldspar. In general, it has been found out that the refined clays were free from large amount of iron oxide, quartz and feldspar.

A rapid and simple test to distinguish halloysite from kaolinite in mineral mixtures has been developed based on differences in the rate and extent of formamide intercalation. The results of quantitative analysis by formamide intercalation reaction GEC contained 90% of kaolin minerals, GEC contained of 86% of halloysite and GYK contained of 59% kaolinite. The extent of formamide intercalation by kaolinite was likely influenced by sample crystallinity.

FEM analyses which are based on modified Cam-clay theory have been generally used in such cases as analyses of stability and displacement fur embankment construction on soft clays. However, the Modified Cam Clay Model can generate some problems in anisotropic stress conditions of field because the critical state theory has been developed through many laboratory tests in isotropic conditions. Thus, the applicability on the prediction of undrained shear strength and pore water pressure which was based on the critical state theory was evaluated by triaxial tests and numerical analyses in isotropic and anisotropic conditions. Used samples often come out in domestic area, together with general low plastic clays which are showing dilatant behavior in shearing process. They were evaluated by laboratory tests and FEM based on MCCM. From the results of test and numerical analysis, the predictions of undrained strength in low plastic clays well coincided with each other in both isotropic and anisotropic conditions. However, the generation of porewater pressure was often overestimated during undrained shearing in anisotropic conditions. The results can generate the errors in the prediction of stress path of field sites during loading such as construction of embankment on soft clays because the field is subjected to anisotropic conditions during loading.

With regard to the radioactive waste disposal, adsorption properties and migration rates have been evaluated for Cs-137 and Sr-90 with the domestic clay sampled from Cnyang, Sanchong and Mooan. Sorption coefficients (Ksorp) were determined by batch experiments. The measured values of Ksorp were ranged from 8000 to 17,000 ml/gr for Cs-137 of 0.1$\mu$Ci/ml, and from 10,000 to 15,000m1/gr for Sr-90 of 0.l$\mu$Ci/ml. Remarkably, Mooan clay showed lower values of Ksorp than those of the others. This could be explained by the poor soprtion capacity of the quartz found only in the Mooan clay. For the quantitative analysis, sorption isotherm equations of Freundlich type were made with the obtained values of Ksorp. $C_{R}$=18.0 $C_{A}$$^{0.74}$ : Cs-137, $C_{R}$=0.84 $C_{A}$$^{0.45}$ : Sr-90. By introducing the BOX model combined with the above relationships, simulation of underground nuclide movement was carried out. The results showed that the domestic clays could be the effective backfill material for repositories.itories.ies.

These clays, because of world economy recession, exports decreased rapidly and manufacturing industry growth fell into negative. Industrial power consumption has been reduced about 7[%] that forms 53[%] of total load demand in Korea. And also, daily load pattern has been changed in several ways because of power consumption decrease influenced by domestic demand recession and heating power load decreased by the rise in temperature. This research analyzes, by analyzing maximum load demand, average load demand, load pattern based on relative factor, and load sensitiveness in accordance with temperature, that maximum load demand is more sensitive to atmospheric temperature than GDP growth rate and average load demand tends to be reduced according to GDP growth rate. I suppose KPX could operate the network system economically and safely by forecasting load demand in winter and summer seasons based on the results.

This study was carried out to investigate the species of iron compounds in kaolin mineral and the bonding relation between the major kaolin and its subordinate iron compound existing as incidental mineral in common clay by means of chemical composition, X-ray diffraction, thermal differential and thermogravimetrie analysis for the application of clays in the field of ceramic raw material. The domestic clay are produced abounduntly in many places, but San-Cheong kaolin, Chu-An clay, and Yeong-Am clay were selected as samples in this experiment because of their frequent utilization in porcelain industry. Two kinds of samples with low and high iron content are picked up respectively from the place of production and elutriated under two micron size to determine the properties and concentration of iron compound very fine particles or colloidal substance of low crystalline grade. Therefore, hydrothermal treatment in autoclave was conducted considering the existence of low crystalline grade of iron compounds known as an amorphoue state in X-ray diffraction pattern furthermore, de-iron treatment of hydrothermal compound was done in order to identify the related iron compound before and after hydrothermal reaction and iron compound which is one of the samples was synthesized for the determination of their compounds state in more detail. The obtained results in this study are as follows: In San-Cheong kaolin, Chu-An clay and Yeong-Am clay 1) It is proved that species accompanying iron compound is $\alpha$-FeOOH form. 2) Iron compound is composed of very fine particles or colloidal substance. 3) The iron substance encircles the fine parts of clay minerals under 2 micron and acts as cementizing agent.

Recently, domestic waste landfills are constructed sometimes on seashore area to provide large landfill area. In order to strengthen the foundation of landfills and to prevent the infiltration of leachate through the bottom, many cases of constructing cement hardened liners on seashore clays are found. In these cases, it is possible to have cracks in the hardened liners due to settlement with waste load since the stiffness of the hardened liner Is greater than that of clay liners. In this study, the capability of Self-Sealing and Self-Healing (SSSH) liner made with a seashore clay in the metropolitan landfill to prevent the percolation of water and leachate is examined using flexible-wall permeameter test and using uniaxial compression test. Applicability of SSSH to weathered granitic soil is also examined for self-sealing capabilities. The result of Flexible permeameter test for SSSH with the seashore clay showed that permeability obtained was lower than permeability criteria of Korean waste management law. The permeability and strength characteristics of SSSH with granitic soil and bentonite showed better results than with the seashore clay.
