충남 유구지역 활석광상의 활석광석에서 관찰되는 활석과 녹니석의 혼합층상특성을 투과전자 현미경을 이용하여 연구하였다. 일반적으로 활석 내에 녹니석의 패킷이 존재하거나 혹은 그 반대로 녹니석 내에 활석의 패킷이 존재하는 것을 쉽게 관찰할 수 있다. 일부 시료에서는 국지적으로 불규칙한 활석-녹니석 혼합층상을 보인다. 확인된 활석-녹리석의 반응관계는 활석 층내에서 브루사이트층이 첨가 또는 제거되어 1개의 활석층과 1개의 녹니석층의 반응으로 나타나는 경우와, 하나의 활석층이 손실되면서 브루사이트층을 제공하거나 브루사이트층이 활석화되어 2개의 활석층과 1개의 녹니석층의 반응관계로 나타나는 경우가 있다. 이들은 모두 상당한 부피 변화를 수반한다. 또한 부피변화가 최소화되는 반응으로서 앞의 두 경우가 서로 결합된 경우와 부피변화가 증가되거나 감소되는 반응이 복합적으로 일어나는 경우가 있다. 이 경우 2개의 녹니석층과 3개의 활석층, 두 개의 녹니석층 + 1개의 활석층과 1개의 녹니석층 + 3개의 활석층, 3개의 녹니석층과 5개의 활석층 등의 복합적인 반응관계가 관찰되었다.

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.

Based on the method of determination for relative stability of each phase from the difference among the interaction parameters of the phases consisting the mixed layer, the types of interactions between layers were specified and interaction parameter between layers in ordered domain was analytically derived as a function parameter between layers in ordered domain was analytically derived as a function of not only temperature and mole fraction of layers but also ordering parameter. Interaction parameter between the different layers in ordered phase, L is as follows:{{{{ {L }_{1 } (X,Q,T)= { C} over { Q} -4(1-2Q) { L}^{2 } - { RT} over {2} ln { 1} over {2 } - { 2RT} over { { X}_{ s} } ln { { 4QX}`_{s } ^{2 } } over {(1- { X}_{s }- { QX}_{s })( { X}_{s }- {QX }_{s } ) } }}}}L2 is the interaction parameter between ordered and disordered phase in domain and is the mole fraction of the domain which represent the infinite length of mixed layer mineral and Q and C are the reaction progress parameter and arbitrary constant, respectively. This equation was used for the I/S mixed layer clay minerals to infer the relative stability of R1 type I/S mixed layer in the temperature range from 373K to 450K. The result of calculation suggest that, owing to the decrease in interaction parameter with increasing temperature. The interaction parameter decreases more rapidly with decreasing mole fraction of smectite in domain, which is consistent with the fact that the probability of finding the series smectite layer is lo in the domain with small mole fraction of smectite layers in natural system.
