The development of a new sorbent for carbon dioxide depends on several factors, such as fast adsorption/absorption velocity, hydrophobicity, and lower regeneration temperature than commercial sorbent. In this study, aminosilane grafted activated carbon was synthesized to capture CO2. Methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) and 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES) were used as the grafting precursor of the amine functional group. The APTES grafting activated carbon showed higher sorption property than MTMS used one. The characteristics of the separation mechanism of carbon dioxide were examined by measuring the adsorption capacity according to temperature and carbon dioxide partial pressure. The absorption capacity of carbon dioxide was similar to amine grafting activated carbon and activated carbon at 25℃, but amine-grafted activated carbon was higher at 75℃. The amine functional group-grafted activated carbon showed higher absorption capacity than activated carbon with a 1% carbon dioxide partial pressure. Aminosilane grafting of activated carbon was chemically absorbed but also showed the characteristics of physical adsorption. The reforming activated carbon with an amine functional group grafted solid absorption/adsorption sorbent would significantly impact the material engineering industry and carbon dioxide adsorption process. The functionalized sorbent is a high-performance composite material. The developed sorbent may have applications in other industrial processes of absorption/adsorption and separation.

The present paper describes a procedure for separation, preconcentration and determination of trace amount of copper in natural water samples by using 2-mercaptobenzimidazol as the complexing agent. The proposed method is based on the surfactant aggregation formed on γ-alumina by mixing sodium dodecyl sulfate and γ-alumina in water; 2-mercaptobenzimidazol was incorporated into inner hydrophobic part of produced ad-micelles in acidic media to produce an assemble suitable for preconcentration and determination of copper ion. Optimum experimental conditions for adsorption of μg/ml levels of copper ions from aqueous solution by the adsorbent have been reported. The copper ions were quantitively adsorbed by the sorbent over the pH range of 7.1-8.0 and were quantitatively desorbed afterward by using sulfosalycilic acid as the eluent. The determination of copper was not interfered in the presence of common metal ions. The procedure was applied for analysis of river water sample. Relative standard deviation was found to be 4.91%.

A simple measuring device is proposed, and its performance is examined in an adsorption process separating a gas mixture. The sensor is made of a quartz crystal resonator and solid adsorbent to detect the target component. Micro-particle carbon cryogel(MCC) is utilized as the adsorbent, and the gas mixture of air and i-butane are separated in a column containing bamboo activated carbon. Two devices are placed at the inlet and outlet of the column. The measurements are compared with those of GC outcome to prove the measurements are effective. The experimentally proved system is simple and capable to be implemented in an in-line system with on-line measurement.

A procedure based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry has been developed for the simultaneous analysis of 55 basic drugs in equine urine. The test scope covers diversified classes of drugs including some ${\beta}$-blockers, ${\beta}$-agonists, antihypotensives, CNS stimulants, sedatives, tranquilizers, antidepressants, antihypertensives and so on. LC-MS/MS separation and quantification was carried out in positive electrospray ionization and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Four different brands of mixed mode cation exchange SPE sorbents; UCT XTRACT$^{(R)}$ XRDAH, Supelco DSC-MCAX$^{(R)}$, Varian Bond Elut Certify$^{(R)}$ and Waters Oasis$^{(R)}$ MCX were compared. The UCT XTRACT$^{(R)}$ XRDAH sorbent provided the best results in the preconcentration of samples, yielding relative recoveries higher than 80% except for terbutaline (41.3%), salbutamol (71.5%), heptaminol (70.7%), phenylpropanolamine (66.3%). Detection limits of the target drugs provided by the proposed analytical procedure were between 0.2~8.3 ng/mL.

Hydrochar has been generated from food waste via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) reaction. As a solid product of HTC reaction, hydrochar has a great potential as an adsorbent of pollutants from the various media. The surface area and pore volumes are very important parameters to be served as an adsorbent. It requires an expensive equipment and consumes time to measure those parameter. Therefore, titration methods including iodine and methylene blue adsorption were evaluated to be correlated with that of BET analysis. Even though the absolute values of the computed surface area and pore volumes were not able to be matched directly, the patterns of change were successfully correlated. Among the reaction conditions, the reaction time and temperature at $230^{\circ}C$ for 4 h was determined as an optimization condition, which confirmed by titration method and BET analysis. Titration method for surface area and pore volumes computed by combination of iodine and methylene blue adsorbing values would be a simple and fast way of determining the optimization condition for hydrochar as an adsorbent produced by HTC reaction.

An effecient gas chromatographic method is described to be used routinely for the rapid profiling and identification of biochemically important organic acids. It involves the solid-phase extraction of organic acids from aqueous samples using Chromosorb P as the solid sorbent and diethyl ether as the eluting solvent, with subsequent triethylamine treatment. The resulting triethylammonium salts of acids were directly converted to volatile tert-butyldimethylsiyl derivatives, which were simultaneously analyzed by two capillary columns of different polarity, DB-5 and DB-1701, under the identical temperature programming condition. The retention index (RI) and area ratio (AR) values of each peak measured on DB-5 and DB-1701 enabled rapid identification of acids by computer RI library search and AR comparison. The application of the present method to the organic acid profiling of various complex samples is demonstrated.

에탄올아민 (ETA; Ethanolamine)은 에틸렌옥시드를 진한 암모니아수와 함께 가열하여 얻어지는 물질로 흡수성이 있는 무색의 액체 또는 고체이며 탄소, 질소, 산소로 이루어진 매우 안정된 유기화합물이다. 이러한 ETA는 부식방지제, 산성가스 흡수제, 화장품 등 각종 산업에서 매우 유용하게 사용되는 물질이다. 하지만 ETA는 눈, 피부, 호흡기, 폐 등에 접촉하여 호흡기 질환 및 만성 천식을 유발하고 피부에 자극을 일으키므로 ETA를 제거하기 위한 물리화학적 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 냉각온도 및 진공펌프압력에 따른 ETA 응축 특성과, 흡착제에 따른 ETA 흡착특성을 조사하였다. 조사결과 ETA는 냉각수의 온도 및 진공펌프압력에 영향을 받았으며 냉각수 온도 및 진공펌프압력이 증가할수록 응축율은 감소하였다. ETA 흡착에서 활성탄의 경우 액상의 ETA와 상호간에 흡착력은 존재하지 않았으며, 기상의 ETA는 흡착되지만, $100^{\circ}C$이상에서 탈착 반응이 일어났다. 제올라이트의 경우 액상 및 기상의 ETA를 모두 흡착하였다.

자원재활용과 원가절감를 위해 고지재활용율이 크게 상승하고 있으며, 이와 아울러 고 지원료로부터 고품질의 제품을 생산할 수 있는 기술에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있는 실 정이다. 저급 고지로부터 고품질의 탈묵펄프를 얻기 위해서는 고지재활용공정의 핵심 공정인 부유부상 공정의 효율화가 가장 중요하다고 믿어진다. 이를 위해서는 부유부상 공정에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 고형입자의 표면 화학적 특성에 따른 공정의 분리효율 평가와 이에 근거한 공정해석과 개선이 요청된다. 이러한 부유부상 공정을 표면화학적 측면에서 구명하기 위해 마이크로 크리스탈린 셀룰로오스(Microcrystalline cellulose: M MCC)를 모댈 물질로 사용하여 표면화학적 특성은 다르나 입자의 크기와 형태는 동일 한 시료를 준비하였다. 친수성의 표면 특성을 나타내는 MCC의 표면 특성을 바꾸기 위 하여 AKD(alkyl ketene dimer)로 처리비율을 달리하여 솔벤트 사이징 처리를 실시하 였다. 이렇게 준비된 MCC의 표면화학적 특성을 IGC를 이용하여 평가하였다 .. IGC는 G GC를 응용한 표면분석 기술로 고체의 물리화학적 특성과 흡착성을 분석하기 위해서 사용되며 이로부터 흡착제의 표면특성을 평가할 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 AKD로 소수화 정도가 다르도록 소수화시킨 MCC 시료를 이용하여 I IGC 칼럼을 준비하고 n-알칸과 몇가지 극성 용매률 이용하여 이들의 칼럼 내 체류시 간을 측정함으로써 흡착특성을 평가하고 이로부터 흡착현상을 열역학적으로 분석하였다. IGC 분석 시에는 칼럼의 온도를 $30^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$의 3수준으로 변화시켰다. 측정결 과로부터 MCC 표면의 흡착자유에너지와 엔탈피, 엔트로피의 변화량을 평가하였으며, 또한 MCC 표면의 극성에너지와 산염기적 성질을 평가하였다. 실험결과 MCC의 소수화도에 따른 열역학적 흡착현상의 차이가 명백하였다. 이는 소 수화 수준에 따라 소수성 및 친수성 물질의 흡착성이 변화된다는 것을 보여준다. 따라서 탈묵 시 진행되는 기포에의 부착현상을 평가할 수 있는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다 고 사료되었다.

Aqueous solution of sodium glycinate was checked as a suitable $CO_2$ absorbent from the flu gas in the thermal power plant. For this purpose, solubility, vapor pressure, latent heat of vaporization and thermal conductivity were determined for pure and aqueous solution of sodium glycinate. The solubility of sodium glycinate in the solvent, 25 g of $H_2O$, was increased with increasing the temperature and their relation was represented as a first order equation of y = 0.3471x + 20.993. The vapor pressure for 10 wt％ to 60 wt％ of aqueous sodium glycinate solution were determined and the latent heat of vaporization of each aqueous solution was calculated from measured vapor pressure using Clausius-Clapeyron equation. Besides, thermal conductivity of sodium glycinate powder was also determined and it was $1.0933kcal/m{\cdot}hr{\cdot}^{\circ}C$.

Under the Irradiation of the radiofrequency wave, the dipole materials vibrate as microwavic phase change. This causes friction between adjacent molecules and enables an unique charateristics of interior heating of the materials. When dipole gases are adsorbed inside of a solid radiofrequency wave absorber, the gases can be decomposed easily by the microwave energy. The decomposition of sour gases was successfully tested in this manner to develop a sour gas removal process from the combustion flue gas. The standard gas bearing NO and $SO_2$ was passed through and microwave was applied on the calcined char bed as the wave absorber and the gas adsorbent. It was found that more then 95% of NO and 70 % of $SO_2$ was decomposed to the environmentally clean elements during the passage through the 20 gram char bed under the microwave impingement. The surface area and the porosity of char increased because the oxygen radicals produced from decomposed gas attacked carbon in the char capillaries and formed $CO_2$. For a lower concentration of sour gas, general cases in the commercial combustion processes, almost complete decomposion is believed possible and this method is surely expected to be useful for the prevention of air pollutions.
