Siliceous mudstones are embedded on a large scale in the Tertiary formations of Pohang area. Some useful zeolites such as NsP, (Na, TMA)P, analcime and hydroxysodalite were synthesized from the siliceous mudstones by treating with the variety of solution, i.e ., NaOH, NaOH+NaCl, NaOH, NaOH+NaAlO2and NaOH+TMAOH at the low-temperature hydrothermal system ranging 60~120℃. Major precursor of zeolites is found as opal-CT in the zeolite-forming reaction. Smectite, which is included in considerable amounts in the mudstone, appears to play a major role of Al-source in the zeolite synthesis. In comparison, chalcedonic quartz and mica are rather insoluble in alkaline solution, and thus, these are observed as major impurities in the reaction products. An addition of NaAlO2to NaOH solution is effective for eliminating these impurities in the reaction procedure, through these are partly dissolved when elevating the reaction temperature, concentration, and time. Phase change from NaP to hydroxysodalite takes place at the NaOH concentrations of 3.0~4.0 M, and the reaction is not sensitive to the temperature shift. NaP is more stable at lower NaOH concentration and higher activity of Na+ whereas analcime is sensitive to the temperature change and stable at higher than 100℃ and 2.0~4.0 M in NaOH concentration. For the pure NaP synthesis without any other products, the treatment of mudstones with 1:1 solution of NaOH and NaAlO 2 turns out to be quite effective. NaP was successfully synthesized together with analcime at 100℃ as well as lower concentrations of NaOH+NaCl solution. In addition, the organic type, (Na, TMA)P was formed together with smectite in the 1:1 solution of NaOH and TMAOH.
To study phosphate adsorption on kaolinite, 31 P MAS NMR(magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy)has been used for kaolinite reacted in 0.1 M phosphate solutions at pH’s from 3 to 11. There are at least 3 different forms of phosphate on kaolinite. One is the phosphate physically adsorbed on kaolinite surface (outer-sphere complexes) or species left after vacuum-filtering. The second is the phosphate adsorbed by ligand exchange (inner-sphere complexes), and the third is Al-phosphate precipitates which are pH dependent. Most of the inner-spherer complexes and surface precipitates are mainly on hydroxided Al(aluminol) rather than hydroxided Si(silanol). These are pertinent with the results obtained from the phosphate adsorption experiments on silica gel and γ-Al2O3 as model compounds, respectively. The two peaks with more negative chemical shifts(more shielded) than the ortho-phosphate peak (positive chemical shift) are assigned to be the inner-sphere complexes and surface precipitates. The 31 P chemical shifts of the Al-phosphate precipitates are more negative than those of inner-sphere complexes at a given pH due to the larger number of P-O-Al linkages per tetrahedron. The chemical shifts of both the inner-sphere complexes and surface precipitates are more negative than those of inner-sphere complexes at a given pH due to the larger number of P-O-Al linkages per tetrahedron. The chemical shifts of both the inner-sphere complexes and surface precipitates become progressively less shielded with increasing pH. For the inner-sphere complexes, decreasing phosphate protonation combined with peak averaging by rapid proton exchange among phosphate tetrahedra with different numbers of protons is though to be the reason for the peak change. The decreasing shielding with increasing pH for surface precipitates is probably due to the decreasing average number of P-O-Al linkages per tetrahedron combined with decreasing protonation like inner-sphere complexes.
We present characteristics of hydrothermal chlorite and its interstratification with 7-a mineral phase that occur in the propylitic alteration zone of the Bobae sericite deposit formed in rhyodacitic tuff. Chlorite is found as disseminated fine-grained aggregate or replacement materials of precursor minerals such as Fe-oxides and amphibole. Based on X-ray diffraction(XRD), all chlorites belong to IIb polytype and the (060) reflections averaging 1.53~1.54a indicate a trioctahedral structure. Chemical compositions of chlorite show that the Fe/(Fe+Mg) values are mostly in the range of 0.44~0.53, and cation deficiencies in octahedral sites range from 0.06 to 0.37. Under scanning electron microscope(SEM) chlorite occurs as well-crystallized aggregates and is subparallely stacked in interstices or between grain boundaries of associated minerals. transmission electron microscopic(TEM) images reveal that chlorite shows regular layers with 14-a spacings, locally interstratified with 7-a or 21-a periodicities. The 21- a periodicity corresponds to the sum of the d001 values of chlorite and 7-a phase. The chlorite packet coexisting with 7-a layers displays abundant defects such as edge dislocations and layer terminations. Selected-area electron diffraction(SAED) indicates that chlorite and 7-a phase are randomly interstratified in the mixed-layer areas. We propose a lateral change of layers for the polymorphic transition of 7-a phase to chlorite.e.
북동태평양 C-C지역의 우리나라 광구에서 산출되는 망간단괴의 내부조직을 크게 주상조직 층상대, 첨상조직 층상대, 첨상조직 괴상대, 첨상조직 다공질대 및 괴상조직 괴상대로 구분하였다. 주상조직 층상대에서는 버나다이트(vernadite)가 가장 우세하게 산출되며, 첨상조직 층상대에서는 부서라이크(buserite)가 함께 산출된다. 첨상조직 괴상대는 부서라이트의 산출이 두드러지며, 부분적으로 토도로카이트(todorokite)가 수반된다. 첨상조직 다공질대는 첨상체 또는 구상체로 이루어지며 부분적으로 괴상조직으로 교대되는데 주로 토도로카이트와 부서라이트로 구성되어 있다. 괴상조직을 갖는 괴상대에서는 토도로카이트와 버네사이트(birnessite)가 부서라이트와 함께 산출된다. 각 조직대별로 미세조직을 이루는 엽리들에 대해 전자현미분석을 실시하였다. 엽리의 화학조성을 구성하는 요인은 상관계수 군집분석에 의해 Mn-K의 Mn군, Cu-Ni-Zn-Mg(Ca-Na)의 Cu-Ni-Mg군 Fe-Co-Ti(Ca-P)의 Fe군과 Si-Al의 Si군 등 네 개군으로 구분된다. 각 조직대는 세 개 또는 네 개의 군으로 구성되며 이들 각군은 단괴에서 산출되는 광물과 밀접한 관계를 가진다. Mn군은 토도로카이트, Cu-Ni-Mg군은 부서라이트, Fe군은 함코발트수산화철광물, 그리고 Si군은 규산염광물에서 주로 기인하는 것으로 생각된다. 엽리의 화학조성은 이들 광물의 조합과 구성광물의 화학조성에 따라 지배되고 한 조직대내에서도 여러종류의 조합을 보이는데 이는 각 조직대의 엽리들의 성인과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 생각된다.
이성분 희토류 원소로 치환된 4종류의 합성불화인회석(synthetic fluorapatite) (Ap49: La+Gd, Ap50:Ce+Dy, Ap51: Pr+Er, Ap54: Eu+Lu; Ca10-x-2y Nay REEx+y(P1-x //Six 4)6 F2, x=0.13~0.12, y=0.26~0.42)을 대상으로 X-선 회절분석을 통해 얻어진 자료를 이용하여 리트벨트 구조분석을 실시하고 치환된 희토류원소의 거동을 단결정법으로 구해진 결과와 비교.분석하였다. 리트벨트 구조분석결과 합성불화인회석은 공간군 P63/m, 단위포는 평균하여 a=9.3906(1) a, c=6.8924(1) a, V=527.36 a3의 값을 갖는다. 구조의 정밀도를 나타내는 R 지수를 보면 RB / 값은 17.29~18.80이고 S(GofF)값은 1.44~1.68로 계산되었다. 불화인회석은 9개의 산소를 배위하는 Ca1자리와 6개의 산소와 하나의 불소가 배위하는 Ca2자리가 있으며 Ca1-O의 평균거리는 2.563 a이고 Ca2-O의 평균거리는 2.460 a으로 Ca1자리가 Ca2자리보다 다소 크다. 구조자리 치환식에서는 Ca2+ / 자리를 치환하는 REE3+ 로 인하여 전하균형을 맞춰주기 위해서 인과규소가 함께 참여하였다. (REE3+Si 4+ 2Ca2+ : Ca1) 계산된 희토류원소의 자리점유율(REE-Ca2/REE-Cal)은 원자번호가 증가함에 따라 일정하게 감소하는 경향을 보여주며 이는 희토류원소의 거동이 LREE는 크기가 상대적으로 작은 Ca2 자리에 우선 치환되고 HREE는 크기가 큰 Ca1자리에 우선 치환되는 경향을 지시한다.
