To study the Cd adsorption in the presence of competing ions in soil-solution interphase, three soil samples from the Bt horizon were taken and analyzed for their physical and chemical properties. Adsorption of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether(EGME) and N, were determined to establish the specific surface area of the soils. We attempted to establish a qeneralizing competitive sorption isotherms for soils of entirely different composition of the solid phase, resulting in the routine use as a guidelines for the fate of reactive solute in soil profiles. Many physicochemical factors including competitive adsorption bettween solutes will affect the general adsorption phenomena as shown in a single not only on the soil:solution ratio used, but also on the surface areas of its respective soil samples. This phenomenon was attributed to competition Cd for sorption sites with Mg by different soil constituents. These adsorption isotherms are able to use as examples to demonstrate that this phenomenon can complicate the development of a standardized batch adsorption procedure as well as interpreting fate and adsorption of toxic inorganic compounds.

Adsorption isotherms of nitrogen and argon on various adsorbents measured up to present by authors are used to make the V-t plots using various numerical and the analytical standard adsorption isotherms to estimate the appropriateness of these standard isotherms. It is confirmed that the analytical FHH equation is appropriate for wide range of adsorbents as a standard isotherm.

In this study, experiments on the static adsorption of benzene were carried out using activated carbon made from Pinus koraiensis which is normally discarded waste timber in South Korea. The experiment were performed at 303.15 K, 318.15 K and 333.15 K under the pressure up to 7.999 kPa. Isothermal adsorption curves were obtained using Langmuir isotherm, Freundlich isotherm and Toth isotherm for comparison. Based on the fitting, the adsorption quantity of Benzene (q), the isothermal adsorption curves obtained from Langmuir isotherm and Toth isotherm showed the higher accuracy. Although there was little difference in accuracy between result from Langmuir isotherm and that from Toth isotherm, the adsorption quantity of Benzene (q) was expressed in terms of Langmuir isotherm because less parameters were required for Langmuir isotherm than for Toth isotherm. Moreover SEM images of the activated carbon from Pinus koraiensis and the commercial activated carbon were taken to observe the pore size development. The results showed that the perforation development of activated carbon from Pinus koraiensis (waste timber) was better than that of commercial activated carbon (DARCO A.C., SPG-100 A.C.). Adsorption quantity of benzene on activated carbon from Pinus koraiensis was confirmed to be higher than that on commercial activated carbon. Therefore, we may conclude that it is feasible to commercialize the process to manufacturing activated carbon from waste timber.

It has been known that nonlinear characteristics of sorption affect the transport behavior of water soluble pollutants in soils. However detailed experimental studies have not been performed to verify the effect of non-linearity of adsorption isotherm on transport of chemicals in porous media. In this research, the distortion of breakthrough curves of a cationic surfactant (cetylpyridinium chloride, CPC) in a engineered stainless steel column packed with glass beads were investigated. Glass beads with about 110 $\mu\textrm{m}$diameter coated with a thin n-decane film were used as the media providing the sorption surface for CPC. The CPC adsorption isotherm on the surface of n-decane from aqueous solution was a typical Langmuir type. The breakthrough curve of CPC using step Input showed a late breakthrough on the front side and early breakthrough on the back side accordance to the shape of the isotherm. The retardation factor of CPC was found to be a strong function of the input concentration, which also a manifestation of the non-linearity of the isotherm. The retardation factors for the CPC with step input agreed with those of pulse input that the maximum concentrations are controlled to be the same as the step input concentrations. This results support the validity of the unproven field practices of using hydrogeotracers with non-linear adsorption isotherms to determine the hydrogeological parameters, e.g., NAPL saturation, air-water or NAPL-water interfacial areas.

개망초로부터 색소를 추출, 분말화하여 FT-IR 분석을 행하고, 모섬유에 대한 염색조건과 매염이 염착량(K/S값) 및 색상에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 또한 염색한 시료의 견뢰도를 측정하여 실용성을 확인하였다. 개망초 색소는 모섬유에 높은 친화력을 보였으며, Langmuir형의 등온흡착곡선을 보여 염착이 주로 이온결합에 의해 이루어지는 것으로 나타났다. 염착략이 pH 3.0에서 최대가 되었으나 강한 산성조건은 강도 저하를 비롯한 섬유에 손상을 주기 때문에 pH를 조절하지 않고 염색하였다. 피염물의 색상은 모두 Y 계열을 나타내었다. 철매염 처리한 경우를 제외하고 매염처리가 염착량 증진에 미치는 영향은 그다지 크지 않았으며, 매염제 종류를 달리하여 염색한 모섬유의 색상은 크롬과 주석으로 매염한 경우 YR 계열을 나타내고 그 밖의 매염제에 의해서는 Y 계열의 색상을 나타내어 큰 변화는 없었다. 매염처리하지 않은 시료의 견뢰도는 매우 양호하였으며 매염처리가 견뢰도 증진에 미치는 영향은 크지 않았다.

We studied adsorption isotherm, surface properties and antibacterial activity of Cu treated activated carbon fiber (ACF). The BET surface area of Cu treated ACF are distributed to $688.2-887.8m^2/g$. The adsorption results show that BET surface areas move gradually to lower value with increasing treated Cu mole concentration. Using t-method, the specific micropore volumes and average pore size were obtained. From the SEM study, it is also observed that many of micropores in activated carbon fiber are blocked surface after the treatment. And we also observed that the activity of E. coli in kind of colon bacillus increases gradually to larger range with increasing Cu mole ratio. From these results, we suggest the antibacterial mechanism for metal treated ACF.

Fixed-bed adsorption of metal ions on chitosan bead was studied to remove heavy metal ions in waste water. Chitin was extracted from carb shell and chitosan was prepared by deacetylation of the chitin. The chitosan in bead was used as an adsorbent for heavy metal ions. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm was determined from the experimental results of equilibrium adsorption for individual metal ion ($Cu^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$) on chitosan bead. Adsorption strength of metal ions decreased in the order of $Cu^{2+}$>$Co^{2+}$>$Ni^{2+}$ ion. Breakthrough curves of single and multicomponent adsorption for metal ions were obtained from the experimental results of fixed-bed adsorption. The breakthrough curves were analyzed by simulation with fixed-bed adsorption equation based on LDFA (linear driving force approximation) adopted LAS (ideal adsorbed solution) theory which can predict multi-component adsorption isotherm from individual adsorption isotherm. The behavior of fixed bed adsorption for single and multi-component system could be nicely simulated by the equation.

Activated carbon was used as an adsorbent to capture benzene vapor from gaseous stream of nitrogen in a fixed-bed to obtain the breakthrough data. The deactivation model is used to analyze the adsorption kinetics of benzene vapor using the experimental breakthrough data. The experimental breakthrough data are fitted very well to the deactivation model than the adsorption isotherm models in the literature.

물리흡착은 기체와 표면간의 상호작용이 반데르발스 힘에 의한 흡착현상으로 평형상태에서 물리적인 조건 변화만으로 흡착과 탈착이 가능하다. 이러한 흡착측정 데이터는 흡착 시스템에 대한 다양한 정보를 제공해주게 된다. 기체와 표면간의 상호작용 포텐셜, 흡착된 물질의 물리적 상태, 흡착막의 두께, 흡착구조, 흡착량 등이 결정될 수 있다. 이러한 정보는 흡착 및 탈착 등온곡선의 분석을 통하여 사용된 흡착제의 비표면적 및 기공의 기하학적 구조에 대한 것도 유추할 수 있게 한다. 본 실험실에서는 흡착량을 직접 측정하는 체적식 흡착측정 방법, 흡착량을 간접적으로 측정하는 광 및 관련 흡착시스템 및 수정진동자를 이용한 박막에서의 흡착측정 방법들을 소개하며 기공표준화에 적용하고자 한다.
