Abstract

This research was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of lanthanum hydroxide for fluoride removal from aqueous solutions. A batch sorption experiments were conducted to study the influence of various factors such as pH, contact time, initial fluoride concentration and temperature on the sorption of fluoride on lanthanum hydroxide. The optimum fluoride removal was observed in the $pH_{eq}{\leq}8.8$. Sorption equilibrium of fluoride on lanthanum hydroxide was better described by the Freundlish isotherm model than by the Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption energy obtained from D-R model was 9.21 kJ/mol indicating an ion-exchange process as primary adsorption mechanism. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model described well the experimental kinetic data. Thermodynamic parameters such as ${\Delta}Go^{\circ}$, ${\Delta}H^{\circ}$ and ${\Delta}S^{\circ}$ indicated that the nature of fluoride sorption is spontaneous and endothermic. The used lanthanum hydroxide could be regenerated by washing with NaOH solution. Also, the results applied to real ground water indicate that fluoride selectivity and removal capacity of lanthanum hydroxide were superior to those of PA anion-exchange resin.

본 연구에서는 수용액 중의 불소이온을 제거할 수 있는 흡착제로서 란탄수산화물의 활용 가능서을 검토하였다. 란탄 수산화물을 대상으로 회분식 흡착실험을 수행하고, 그 결과를 바탕으로 pH 영향, 흡착속도, 흡착등온 및 흡착에너지 등을 살펴보았다. 란탄수산화물은 pH 8.8 이하의 산성영역으로 갈수록 불소 제거율이 증가하는 특성을 나타냈다. 란탄수산화물의 불소 흡착평형은 Langmuir isotherm 보다는 Fruendlich isotherm 모델과 더 일치하였다. D-R 모델로부터 구한 흡착에너지는 9.21 kJ/mol로 이온교환메커니즘을 나타내는 범위에 속하였으며, 흡착속도는 2차 속도모델과 일치하는 거동을 보였다. 열역학적 상수 ${\Delta}Go^{\circ}$, ${\Delta}H^{\circ}$와 ${\Delta}S^{\circ}$는 란탄수산화물의 불소흡착특성이 자발적이고 흡열반응임을 나타냈다. 란탄수산화물은 1N NaOH로 재생 가능하며, 실 지하수에 대한 흡착실험 결과, 란탄수산화물이 PA보다 불소에 대한 이온선택성은 물론 제거율이 높았다.
