The adsorption characteristics of multi-component solvent vapors including poorly-adsorbable chemicals such as toluene-xylene-MEK and toluene-MEK-IPA on the activated carbonaceous adsorbents were investigated in a stainless steel fixed bed of 10.2 cm ID and 50 cm in height in order to identify those carbons for eliminating and recovering solvent vapors from industrial emission sources. The used activated carbonaceous adsorbents were pelletized commercial activated carbons and activated carbon fiber. Breakthrough curves and adsorption capacity at atmospheric pressures were obtained. It has been found that non-polar and larger molecules have been adsorbed better than polar and smaller molecules. In special, alcohols and ketones were poorly adsorbed caused by competitive adsorbability in multi-component mixture system. However, it could be overcome by profitable employment of organization of cooperative system which was composed of different porosity activated carbonaceous adsorbents appropriately.

It is desired that carbon dioxide causing a greenhouse effect be removed at a high temperature and high pressure in a steam reforming reaction. In this research, a pellet form of adsorbent CaO is employed to capture $CO_2$. The adsorbent was manufactured using a high pressure molding on powdered $CaCO_3$ followed by calcination. Then its properties were analyzed and the adsorption experiments were carried out in a batch adsorption chamber. The pore area was found to be dependent on a molding pressure and the pore distribution showed two peaks. It is examined that $CO_2$ binds to CaO by means of chemisorption and its maximum conversion is nearly $80\%$ at $700^{\circ}C$.

Adsorption process for the removal of acetylene, especially 2-butyne, from isoprene was studied with zeolite as an adsorbent. In this work, zeolite 5A was selected to investigate the effects of various regeneration conditions by repeated adsorption experiments. The effect of regeneration temperature and desorption pressure was investigated to identity the optimum regeneration conditions. Repeated adsorption and desorption experiments were carried out for 10 cycles to confirm the efficiency of regeneration process under temperature of 423 K and desorption time of 16 h.

산성가스용 방독마스크 정화통은 활성탄에 정화제를 첨착시킨 첨착 활성탄을 사용하여 유해가스를 제거하여 왔으며, 일반적으로 알칼리제인 Ca(OH)$_2$를 첨착시켜 유독가스와 중화반응을 유도하여 왔다. 그러나 이들의 흡착제거 능력이 크지 않아 많은 양을 사용하여야 하는 문제점이 있었다. 따라서 정화통의 성능을 좌우하는 새로운 첨착물질을 선정하여야 고효율ㆍ저비용 정화통을 개발할 수 있으며, 본 연구에서는 이러한 첨착흡착제를 개발하여 이를 방독마스크 정화통에 적용하고자 하였다.(중략)

인간의 생활수준은 산업의 발달과 함께 꾸준히 향상되고 있으나 환경은 산업발달의 부산물로 배출되는 공해물질들로 인하여 급속히 열악해지고 있다. 대표적인 악취물질로는 암모니아, 황화수소 및 트리메틸아민 등을 들 수 있으며 공간으로부터 악취분자들을 적극적으로 제거하는 탈취소취법에 오늘날 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다. 일반적인 탈취재료는 활성탄, 제올라이트 등의 무기물이 오래전부터 사용되고 있으나 이들의 대표적인 악취물질인 암모니아가스, 황화수소 등 유해가스에 대한 흡착능력은 매우 낮으며 흡착제 형태가 입상이기 때문에 성형가공면에서 한계가 있다.

In order to separate of carbon dioxide in the combustion exhaust gas, monoethanolamine (MEA) and piperazine (PZ) impregnated zeolite 13X adsorbents were used. A series of adsorbents were synthesized by impregnating 30, 50 and 70 wt% of MEA and PZ respectively on zeolite 13X pellet. XRD, FT-IR and BET were used to characterize the properties of impregnated pelletized zeolite 13X absorbents. In order to investigate the separation characteristics of carbon dioxide, zeolite pellet, MEA impregnated zeolite and PZ impregnated zeolite pellet were investigated at 25, 50 and $75^{\circ}C$. Amine impregnated pelletized zeolite absorbent has shown that adsorption decreases with increasing temperature. Finally, the carbon dioxide adsorption capacity when emission temperature of the combustion exhaust gas, PZ impregnated zeolite pellet was 1.8 times than zeolite pellet as well as 20 times than MEA impregnated zeolite pellet.

활성탄 흡착을 통한 도장공정의 건조작업시 발생하는 VOCs 가스중에서 많은 양을 차지하는 톨루엔의 흡착실험의 결과는 아래와 같다. 활성탄을 충전한 고정흡착탑에서 톨루엔의 흡착에 있어서 파과곡선의 파과점은 흡착제의 포화특성에 좌우되며, toluene 가스의 농도, 유량이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 활성탄의 동일한 충전층에 대해 toluene 가스의 유량, 농도가 증가할수록 MTZ와 LUB도 증가함으로 흡착층의 효율이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

Hydrocarbon gases generated from the gasification of waste could be converted into $CO_2$ and $H_2$ using reforming catalysts and then $CO_2$ was selectively adsorbed and removed to obtain pure hydrogen. To optimize adsorption efficiency for $CO_2$ removal, $Na_2CO_3$ was supported on nanoporous alumina and the efficiency was compared with commercial alumina(Degussa). Nanoporous adsorbents formed more uniform pores and larger surface area compared to adsorbents using commercial alumina. The increase of $Na_2CO_3$ loading improved adsorption of $CO_2$. Finally, the highest adsorption capacity per unit mass of $Na_2CO_3$ could be achieved when the loading of $Na_2CO_3$ reached up to 20wt%. When the content of $Na_2CO_3$ increased above 20 wt%, it aggregated on the surface, and the pore volume was decreased. Used adsorbents could be recycled by the thermal treatment.

The goal of this paper was to improve the performance of the adsorbent to remove $H_2S$. Pellet type adsorbents were prepared by using four kinds of materials ($Fe_2O_3$, $Ca(OH)_2$, Activated carbon, $Al(OH)_2)$ for use as a basic carrier. As the results of $H_2S$ adsorption tests, $Fe_2O_3$ and Activated Carbon improved the adsorption performance of $H_2S$ by 1.5 ~ 2 times, and $Ca(OH)_2$ and $Al(OH)_2$ showed no effect on $H_2S$ adsorption performance. Four basic materials were as carriers, and 5 wt% of KI, KOH and $K_2CO_3$ were added on the carriers, respectively. As the results of $H_2S$ adsorption tests, adsorbent containing $K_2CO_3$ showed the best performance. As a result of $H_2S$ adsorption test with varying $K_2CO_3$ content from 5 to 30 wt%, it was confirmed that adsorption performance was increased up to 20 wt% of $K_2CO_3$ and adsorption performance decreased to 30 wt%. The $H_2S$ adsorption performance was modeled by using Thomas model with varying $K_2CO_3$ contents and the results were used for the adsorption tower design. It was shown that the experimental values and the simulated values were in good agreement with the contents range of $K_2CO_3$ up to 20 wt%. Based on these results, it is expected that not only the adsorption performance of $H_2S$ adsorbent is improved but also life time of the adsorbent is increased.

Hydrogen Chloride is among the most problematic gases used in semiconductor process. It raises serious environmental and health problems due to its extreme toxicity. This study is to develop a method to effectively remove hydrogen chloride gas during the process by using various types of inorganic gas adsorption agents, which have not been attempted in the conventional methods. The removal efficiency of the gas was both qualitatively and quantitatively measured by a FT-IR spectrophotometer. The whole device for the measurement has been designed and built in our lab. The removal efficiencies of hydrogen chloride gas were compared between those tested resins; zeolite A, modified AgA zeolite, ZnO, and $AgMnO_3$. The experimental result revealed that ZnO showed the best efficiency that had removed 0.067 g of HCl per 1 g of the resin used.
