Environmental pollution caused by the presence of heavy metal ion from growing industrialization or from leaching is increasing area of concern. There are several area of water purifications but among them adsorption on the functionalized polymer fibers is efficient and cost-effective method. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is exciting polymer due to the presence of excessive functional group which can be easily transformed for metal ion adsorption. PAN can be easily electrospun to prepare nanofiber that have higher surface area leading to better metal ion removal. Composite PAN fiber is yet another type of polymer covered in this review for waste water treatment.

As an alternative for the traditional materials packed in biofilters treating gaseous VOCs, a novel packing material has been developed and tested. In the packing material(named as Hydrogel Bead, HB), pollutant-degrading microorganisms were immobilized in hydrogel consisted of alginate, polyvinyl alcohol(PVA), and powdered activated carbon. A closed-bottle study showed that the HB rapidly removed gaseous styrene without the losses of adsorption and biodegradation capacity. Biofilter column experiments using the HBs also demonstrated that greater than 95% of removal efficiencies were found at an inlet styrene loading rate of $245g/m^3/hr$, which was higher biofilter performance than other elimination capacity reported earlier. Furthermore, when the inlet styrene concentration increased stepwise, the adsorption played an important role in overall styrene removals. The absorbed styrene was found to be biodegraded in the following low inlet loading condition. Consequently, the new HB material is able to successfully minimize the drawbacks of activated carbon(necessity of regeneration) and biological processes(low removal capacity at dynamic loading conditions), and maximize the overall performance of biofilter systems treating VOCs.

광학활성 물질의 분할은 화학공정에 있어서나 생명과학에 있어서 중요한 분야로, 특히 의약이나 농약등의 생리활성물질에 광학이성질체가 상당수 존재하고 있으며, 그중에서는 경상체간에 생리활성이 현저하게 다른 것이 상당수 존재한다. 이러한 광학활성 물질을 분리하는 방법으로는 크로마트그래피를 이용한 방법, Diastereomer를 이용하는 방법등이 있으나 본 연구에서는 고분자 착체막을 이용하여 경상체를 분리하고자 한다. 전이금속착체를 이용한 경상체의 분리는 주로 crown ether를 중심으로 이루어져 왔다. 즉 전이금속의 흡착력과 crown ether의 입체구조를 이용한 것이다. 그러나 이것은 액막에서나 가능한 것으로 고체막에서는 사용할 수 없다. 따라서 본연구에서는 아크릴 계통의 고분자 전이금속 착체막을 이용하여 아미노산 경상체간의 분리를 행하고자 한다. 즉 전이금속의 흡착력과 리간드의 입체구조를 이용하여 경상체를 분리하는 것이다.

Polymeric gas separation membrane is the fastest growing field in membrane separation process. Polymeric gas separation membrane process is competitive compare to cryogenic process and pressure swing adsorption process. Aromatic polymer materials such as polysulfones, polypheneylene oxides, polycarbonates and polyimides have been used for gas separation. Recently, glassy polymer likes polyimide in aromatic polymers has been developed for achievement of high selectivity and permeability coefficients. The accurate understanding on a type and structure of polymer material is very important, because the factor that polymer material affect gas separation property. In the study, trend and the development direction on synthesis and permeation properties of polyimide is confirmed.

Many researchers have reported that many biopolymers making up cell walls of the microorganisms display an ion-exchange property and play a major role in the sorption of the metal ions. Such polymers derived from microbial biomass are potentially useful as biosorbent materials for recovery various metal ions in industrial applications. although synthetic polymers such as ion-exchange resins and chelating resins have been widely used as commercial sorbents. In this study, valuable and commercial biopolymers for metal removal will be introduced.

The blood compatibilities of PU/PVA polymer blends with different mixing ratios were evaluated using various methods, such as fibrinogen adsorption, plasma recalcification time, platelet adhesion, whole blood clotting time, and complement activation. In addition, PVA on the surface of the polymer blends was crosslinked by glutaraldehyde to restrain the mobility of PVA molecules for characterizing the effect of PVA in the polymer blends on blood compatibility. The fibrinogen adsorption on the polymer blends decreased with the increase of PVA amount in the polymer blends. The plasma recalcification times of the polymer blends with 10-50 wt% PVA were longer than those of PU, PVA, and polymer blends with higher amount of PVA. The morphological changes and adhesion of platelets on the polymer blends with 30-50 wt% PVA were less than those on the other materials. The blood clotting times and complement activation on the polymer blends with 30-50 wt% PVA were reduced, compared to the other materials. On the other hand, the blood compatibility of the crosslinked polymer blends was relatively decreased, compared to the non-crosslinked ones. According to these experimental results, the blood compatibility of the polymer blends with 30-50 wt% PVA was better than that of the other materials and such a blood compatibility of the polymer blends might be related to the mobility of PVA molecules on the surface.

The polymeric FAB materials of air shower used in clean room of wafer industry have been outgassed with the dynamic headspace (ca.$100^{\circ}C$) for half an hour, and analyzed using GC-MS. The air in the clean room running air shower was sampled using sorbent tube method, and the organic compounds adsorbed in the sorbent tube were extracted using Soxhlet extraction method, and analyzed using GC-MS. The analytical results from FAB materials of air shower (electric over current relay, acryl plate. polycarbonate window, filter, fan housing, steel galvanized cold plate and canvas buffer) indicated that most of chemicals were originated from polymer fragments of FAB materials. Their analytical results have been compared with those from the air of clean room running air shower. These comparative results could lead to identify whether the sources of trace organic contaminants in clean room air are originated from the polymeric FAB material of air shower.

킬레이팅 고분자를 메조기공 탄소 표면 위에 흡착시킴으로써 금속이온과 착물을 형성할 수 있는 기능성 나노구조체를 제조하였다. 악티늄족 원소를 단일입자 내에 영구처분을 위한 예비연구로서 Eu을 대용물(surrogate)로 사용하여 기능성 나노 구조체에 주입한 후 메조기공 입구를 고분자반응을 통해 봉쇄함으로써 Eu의 단일입자 내 고정화를 시도하였다. 시간에 따라 침출현상을 분석한 결과, 고분자로 메조기공을 blocking 하였을 때 Eu의 침출현상이 크게 완화되는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 시멘트화나 유리화 등과 같은 고비용 공정을 거치지 않고도 단일입자 내 유해 금속의 영구처분이 가능하다는 것을 의미한다. 더 나아가, 이러한 접근방법은 지지체로 메조기공 탄소에 국한되지 않고 실리카와 같은 다른 메조기공 금속산화물에 적용될 수 있다는 점에서 큰 강점이 있다.
