The effect of introducing oxygen functional groups by oxygen plasma treatment of activated carbon on adsorption properties of cesium ions was investigated. During the oxygen plasma treatment, the frequency, power, and oxygen gas flow rates were fixed at 100 kHz, 80 W, and 60 sccm, respectively, while the reaction time was varied. Under the experimental conditions, the amount of cesium ion adsorption increased as the content of oxygen groups on C-O-C and O=C-O bonds increased when the reaction time with oxygen gas was 10 minutes. However, when the reaction time increased to 15 minutes, the oxygen functional group content decreased resulting in the decrease of the adsorbed cesium ion amount. On the other hand, unlike the oxygen content of the surface-treated activated carbon, the specific surface area and pore properties were hardly affected by the oxygen plasma reaction time. As a result, the oxygen plasma-treated activated carbon improved the cesium ion removal rate by up to 97.3% compared to that of the untreated activated carbon. This is considered to be due to the content of oxygen groups on C-O-C and O=C-O bonds introduced on the surface of the activated carbon through oxygen plasma treatment.

The addition of alginic acid, a natural polysaccharide, to improve the wettability and the reduction of protein adsorption of hydrogel contact lenses. Hydrogel contact lenses were manufactured with various monomers such as 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and NVP (N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidone). Alginic acid was added by by the initial mixing method and the interpenetrating polymer networks(IPN) method. Properties of contact lens such as contact angle, oxygen permeability, and protein adsorption amount were evaluated. The oxygen permeability and wettability of the IPN-treated alginate samples were higher than those of the samples that were not treated with IPN. The physical properties were improved as the concentration of IPN-treated alginic acid increased. Protein adsorption decreased by the addition of alginic acid and further decreased with IPN. In particular, contact lenses containing MPC and NVP significantly decreased protein adsorption. Therefore, the effect of alginate on the functional improvement of contact lens was confirmed.

The reversible oxygenation of a solid stae polymeric cobalt(II) porphyrin complex, PVP-CoTPP was studied at 0, -24 and $-78^{\circ}C$. When PVP-CoTPP was contacted with $O_2 $at$-78^{\circ}C$ the oxygen uptake increased with oxygen partial pressure. At about 700mmHg $O_2$, the amount of oxygen taken up corresponded approximately one oxygen molecule to one Co(II) complex. The amount of $O_2$ taken up by PVP-CoTPP decreased with increasing temperature. When $16O_2$ was admitted to the Co(II) complex a EPR signal corresponding to $O_2^-$ increased with a decrease in Co(II) signal. The results suggest that an electron is transfered from Co(II) in PVP-CoTPP to oxygen forming a $Co(III)-O_2^-$ complex where $O_2^- $is superoxide type.

In hydrogen production for fuel cell by reforming ADG, sulfur compounds, odorant in ADG, are detrimental to reforming catalyst and fuel cell electrodes. We prepared alkali metal impregnated activated carbon to remove sulfur compounds in ADG by adsorption. The sulfur breakthrough adsorption capacity was changed depending on the oxygen concentration and relative humidity. Oxygen 0.2 vol% and RH 90% showed the highest sulfur breakthrough capacity. Adsorption characteristics of $H_2S$ on KI impregnated activated carbon were evaluated using dynamic adsorption method in a fixed bed. Based on the results, adsorption tower was designed and field-tested.

We have performed density functional theory calculations for the surface structure of O/Pd(100)-p($2{\times}2$), formed by the adsorption of oxygen atoms of 0.25 ML. The oxygen atoms adsorb preferentially at the fourfold hollow site, and the calculated O-Pd bond length is $2,15{\AA}$, The first interlayer spacing ($d_{12}$) of Pd(100) expands by +0.8% due to the oxygen adsorption, which differs from the experimental value of +3.6% reported by a previous LEED study. Assuming that the LEED sample was possibly contaminated by hydrogen atoms, we also examined the effect of hydrogen impurities on the surface structure. Hydrogen atoms adsorbed on O/Pd(100)-p($2{\times}2$) are found to result in large expansions of $d_{12}$ of Pd(100). Our analysis estimates the amount of hydrogen atoms remaining on the LEED sample as -0.3 ML.

본 논문은 전극의 표면상태가 기체방전의 전리성장과 특성에 미치는 영향에 관한 것으로 질소-산소 혼합가스중의 순수전극과 오손전극의 상태에서 전압-전류 특성과 글로우방전 개시전압을 측정하였다. 순수전극의 경우, 압력과 전극간의 거리의 곱이 8(Torr-cm)이하이고 산소의 혼입량이 0.005(%)이하일 때의 전리성장은 암류로부터 안정타운젠트방전을 거쳐 글로우방전으로 이행되었으며 글로우방전 개시전압은 거의 일정하였다. 동일의 전극표면상태에서 조차 방전개시전압은 산소혼입비에 의존하며 방전횟수에 따른 이의 변화는 산소의 함량이 0.1(%)부근에서 크게 나타났다. 방전횟수와 산소혼입량의 증가에 따른 방전개시전압의 상승은 주로 전극표면에서의 산소흡착층의 형성과 부착작용에 의한 NO, $O_{2}$, NO$_{2}$, $O_{3}$와 간은 부이온의 생성에 기인된 것으로 여겨진다.

Zeolite X adsorbents with large surface area were prepared for using oxygen PSA adsorbent. Selective adsorption performance of nitrogen on the synthesized zeolite X adsorbent was improved by the cation exchange of adsorbent. The zeolite X which had over $650m^2/g$ surface area was synthesized at the conditions of $SiO_2\;:\;Na_2O\;:\;H_2O\;:\;Al_2O_3$ = 2.5 : 3.5 : 150 : 1 mole ratio, $98^{\circ}C$ temperature and 18 h synthesized time in 50 L reactor. The metal ions Li, Ag, Ca, Br, Sr, etc. were investigated for ion exchange with zeolite X. Ag ion was showed the highest ion exchange rate among these metal ions and all metal ions were exchanged with Na ion at equivalent rate. Compared with the NaX adsorbent, the ion exchanged zeolite X adsorbent remarkably improved its adsorption performance of nitrogen at the conditions of $10{\sim}40^{\circ}C$ temperature and 0~9 atm pressure. At an equilibrium pressure under 0.5 atm, adsorption performance of nitrogen on the ion exchanged zeolite adsorbent increased in the order of Ag > Li > Ca > Sr> Ba > K, whereas at an equilibrium pressure over 1 atm showed in the order of Li > Ag > Ca > Sr > Ba > K. Nitrogen/oxygen separation factor of Li ion exchanged zeolite X adsorbent was 13.023 at the partial pressure of nitrogen/oxygen gas mixture similar to air and $20^{\circ}C$ adsorption temperature.

Adsorption characteristics of $H_{2}S$ on KOH impregnated activated carbon were evaluated using dynamic adsorption method in a fixed bed. The pore properties, including BET's specific surface area, pore volume, pore size distribution, and mean pore diameter of these KOH impregnated activated carbons, were characterized from $N_{2}$ adsorption/desorption isotherms. Adsorption equilibrium data were correlated with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The adsorption of $H_{2}S$ onto the KOH impregnated activated carbon is better fitted by the Langmuir isotherm. An increase in the content of oxygen affects the performance of KOH impregnated activated carbon to the greatest extent.

The adsorption and desorption behaviors of NO and $N_2O$ over two mixed oxide catalysts, AlCoPd (1/1/0.05) and AlCoFe (1/1/2), have been investigated for the lean $NO_x$ trap applications. The catalysts showed good adsorption capabilities for NO and $N_2O$ without needing oxidation step. The adsorption decreased a lot when they are co-adsorbed with oxygen. While NO kept high adsorbability and selectivity with respect to oxygen, those of $N_2O$ decreased sharply. From the TPD results, NO and $N_2O$ are considered to decompose into nitrogen and oxygen in the higher temperature range and the oxygen seems to be strongly attached to the catalysts even at high temperature.
