Abstract

This research investigated classification of clay activity degree by different clay mineral components. Based on compositions of different clay and oxide minerals within 390 soil series in Korea, 7 soils were selected to analyze for CEC and specific surface area of clay minerals. As a result, soils were mainly composed with Chlorite originated from sandstone, Smectite originated from Andesite porphyry and combination of Allophane and Ferrihydrite originated from volcanic ash, if the ratio of CEC value to clay content (degree of clay activity) was greater than 0.7. If the degree of clay activity was ranged between 0.3 and 0.7, soils were composed mainly with Kaolin originated from anorthite. Soils with this ratio also was composted with combinations of Kaolin, Illite and Vermiculite originated with river deposits. When the degree of the activity was less than 0.3, soils were commonly red-yellowish color and composed with two different minerals. One type of composition was Kaolin originated from granite and granite gneiss and the soils contained Geothite and Hematite. The other type was composited mainly with Illite and Vermiculite minerals originated from granite. These soils contained Gibbsite, Geothite and Hematite. The degree of clay activity was highly related with CEC and specific surface area. The greater degree of the activity displayed greater values of clay CEC and specific surface area. It is not easy to measure actual quantity and compositions of clay minerals, while the degree of clay activity can be measured from routine soil analyses. As a conclusion, the degree of clay activity may be not just a simple but also powerful tool to estimate physical-chemical properties of soils and to evaluate the soil classification in Korean soils.

토양광물 종류별 토양의 점토활성도를 구분하기 위하여 우리나라 390개 토양통을 점토광물과 함수산화광물을 기준으로 점토광물 조성이 다른 7개의 토양을 선정하여 토양광물 종류에 따른 점토의 CEC와 비표면적을 비교하였다. 토양 CEC에 대한 점토의 비가 0.7 이상인 토양은 사암을 모재로 Chlorite를 주광물로 하는 토양, 안산암질반암을 모재로 Smectite를 함유한 토양, 화산재를 모재로 Allophane과 Ferrihydrite가 주광물로 이루어진 토양이었으며, 점토활성도 0.3-0.7인 토양은 회장석을 모재로 Kaolin이 주광물 토양, 하성퇴적토를 모재로 Kaolin, Illite, Vermiculite가 혼합된 토양이었다. 또한 점토활성도 0.3이하인 토양은 화강암 및 화강편마암 모재의 Kaolin을 주광물로 Geothite와 Hematite가 함유된 적황색계 토양, 석회암 모재의 Illite와 Vermiculite를 주광물로 Gibbsite, Geothite, Hematite가 함유된 적황색계 토양이었다. 토양의 점토활성도는 점토의 CEC, 점토의 비표면적과 상관이 있어서 점토활성도가 높은 토양에서는 점토의 CEC가 높고 점토의 비표면적이 넓었다. 따라서 토양의 점토활성도는 기존의 점토광물의 정성과 정량분석을 실시하지 않고도 토양의 일반적인 분석을 통하여 토양 중 점토광물의 조성을 추정하고 토양의 물리-화학적 특성을 예측하는데 유용한 기준이 될 것으로 생각된다.
