Abstract

Although the use of pottery-making soils has a long history, its use in the pottery industry requires that physical and geotechnical properties of the materials be established to define the suitability for various purposes. The main purpose of this study is to identify the different types of clays and mineral composition and to perform the geotechnical evaluation of the clays for making pottery products. Soils investigated in this study include raw materials used for making Baekja (white porcelains), Chungja (celadons), Buncheong, Sancheong, and Johyung. Pottery-making soils are manufactured by using different types of soils and sold by individual ceramic clay company. This study includes physical tests of soil and chemical analysis of major elements using XRF and XRD instrumentation. Grain size distributions, mineralogical composition, and a range of plasticities of soils for making different types of potteries are presented. Correlations between specific type of pottery clays and geotechnical and mineralogical characteristics are determined by comparing the test results. Since quantitative research using laboratory tests for pottery-making soils are rarely performed in Korea, further research should be done in the future to improve the Korean pottery industry.

도자기 제작을 위한 점토의 사용은 오랜 역사를 가지고 있지만, 도자기 업계에서 특정 목적으로 흙을 사용하기 위해서는 이 흙이 적정한 물리적 특성을 충족해야 한다. 이 연구의 목적은 다른 유형의 점토에 대하여 도자기 재료로서 점토의 물리적 및 광물성분을 비교 평가하는데 있다. 이 연구를 위하여 도재상에 따라 자신들만의 비법으로 제작하여 널리 판매하고 있는 백자토, 청자토, 산청토, 분청토, 조형토에 대한 물성실험을 수행하였고, XRF와 XRD 분석을 통하여 화학성분과 구성광물을 정량화하였다. 태토의 종류별 흙의 입도분포, 광물성분, 가소성 범위를 제시하였다. 실험결과를 비교하여 각 도재상에서 특정 유형의 도자기를 생산하는 흙들의 물성 및 광물조성의 상관관계를 결정하였다. 국내에서는 토질실험을 활용한 태토의 정량적인 연구가 미흡한 상태이므로 향후 국내 도자기 산업의 발전을 위해서는 이에 대한 적극적인 연구가 필요하다.
