Abstract

In this study, we have performed electron probe micro analyzer (EPMA), X-ray differaction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP), Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy (FT-Raman), far-infrared (FIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and pH-DO Analyses for characterizing medicinal mineralogy aspect of the black tourmaline (Shantung, china), black and pink tourmaline (Minas Geraris, Brazil), black touemaline (Daeyu mine, Korea). In addition, heating effects of the tourmaline sauna as well as the effects of tourmaline powder-added soap on skin troubles have been investigated. It has been revealed that chemical composition of the tourmaline is either high in Fe-, Al-, B-rich types. Ratio of the K-Ca, Na-K, and Fe-B reflects the component change property of solid solution. $CaO/CaO+Na_2O$ and MgO/FeO+MgO ratio show high positive correlation. When tourmaline reacts with distilled water, extended reaction time DO values approximately decrease and it stabilizes at DO = 10. Otherwise, pH values increase until 6 hours and it stabilizes at pH = 8 after 24 hours. Distilled water changes to alkaline when it reacts with tourmaline powder and particles. Tourmaline showed lower absorption spectrum strength and transmittance at short wave, where absorption spectrum wavelength and strength were determined by the content of the composition elements and characteristics of crystallography. Increase of the Fe content has been confirmed to be the cause for the reduction of irradiation. For the chemical composition and spectral property of the tourmaline particle samples, it has been found that Si and Fe contents show positive correlation with Far-Infrared irradiation, while Al and Mg contents show negative correlation. For tourmaline powder, it has been confirmed that $^{17}O-NMR$ FWHM (full width at half maximum) decreases when reacts with distilled water. Tourmaline sauna (approximately $100^{\circ}C$) was found to increase $0.5-1.5^{\circ}C$ of body temperature, average of 12 heartbeat, and 10mg Hg of blood pressure. Tourmaline soap had very good aesthetic effect to skin and was confirmed to have above the average improvements to skin troubles (e.g., allergy or atopy).

이 연구는 전기석이 본초 광물의 활용 가능성을 평가하기 위하여 중국 산동성 흑색 전기석 5종, 브라질 미나스 제라이스(Minas Geraris)광산의 흑색 및 핑크색 전기석 2종, 한국 대유광산 흑색 전기석 1종을 대상으로 전자탐침미세분석, X-선 회절분석, 유도결합플라스마 분광방출분석, 퓨리에변환 적외선분광분석, 원적외선 분석, 핵자기공명분석 및 물-전기석 반응에 따른 pH-DO 변화를 수행하였다. 또한, 전기석 찜질방의 온열효과와 전기석 분말을 첨가한 비누가 피부에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 연구에 사용된 전기석 시료들은 철과 알루미늄 및 붕소 함량이 높은 유형으로 분류되며, 칼슘, 나트륨, 칼륨, 철과 붕소 함량변화는 전기석의 고용체 특성을 반영한다. $CaO/(CaO+Na_2O)$와 MgO/(FeO+MgO) 함량비는 높은 정(+)의 상관관계를 갖는다. 전기석 분말과 증류수와의 반응에서 DO값은 반응시간의 경과에 따라 낮아지며, DO=10에서 안정된다. pH는 6시간까지 증가되고, 24시간 이후에는 대체적으로 pH=8에서 안정된 상태를 유지한다. 전기석은 단파장에서 흡수 스펙트럼의 강도와 투과율이 낮아지며, 흡수 스펙트럼의 파장과 강도는 구성 원소의 함량과 결정학적 특징에 따라 달라진다. 특히, 철의 함량증가는 방사량을 감소시키는 원인이 되는 것으로 확인되었다. 전기석의 철 함량과 원적외선 방사량의 상관관계는 높은 정(+)의 상관성을 가지며, 알루미늄과 마그네슘 함량은 부(-)의 상관관계를 나타낸다. 증류수와 전기석 분말의 반응은 $^{17}O-NMR$ 반치폭을 감소시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 전기석에 의한 고온 찜질방(약 $100^{\circ}C$ 사우나)에서의 온열효과는 체온을 $0.5-1.5^{\circ}C$ 정도 높이며, 맥박은 평균 12회, 혈압은 10mg Hg 상승한다. 전기석 비누는 피부에 매우 좋은 효과를 나타내며, 알레르기와 아토피 등의 문제성 피부에서 보통이상의 개선 효과를 갖는 것으로 확인되었다.
