The ion-exchange properties of $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ ions have been studied in ${\delta}-Na_2Si_2O_5$ synthesized from water glass. Results show that optimum temperature for synthesis of ${\delta}-Na_2Si_2O_5$ was $725^{\circ}C$. Ion-exchange isotherms for $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ exchange for $Na^+$ in the synthetic ${\delta}-Na_2Si_2O_5$ show that the ion-exchange capacity of magnesium is better than that of calcium, and the ion-exchange of magnesium is less sensitive for temperature than that of calcium. When initial pH of solution is increased between 2 and 6, the ion-exchange capacities of magnesium and calcium decrease a little. However, they are almost constant above pH 6 because of alkali buffer effect of ${\delta}-Na_2Si_2O_5$. In the thermodynamic studies, it was found that Gibbs free energies of reaction of calcium ion-exchange are larger than those of magnesium ion-exchange with inverse order of selectivity. The standard enthalpy and entropy of reaction of calcium ion-exchange are larger than those of magnesium ion-exchange.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of artificial zeolite and various ion exchangers supplemented in rockwool on the ion exchangability of muskmelon. The results obtained were as follows ; Plant height was higher in the treatment of Ca type artificial zeolite as of 131.2cm than that of control as of 124cm, and same trends were shown in fresh weight of leaf and stem. Fruit weight was increased by supplement of artificial zeolite, but there were no significant differences in the sugar degree and external appearance as influenced by supplementing artificial zeolite. Supplement of artificial zeolite stabilized the pH and increased the ion exchange capacity of nutrient solution. Nutrient absorption was more favorable and led to growth promotion. This study was demonstrated that supplement of artificial zeolite in rockwool slab was improved the stabilization of root environment and increased ion uptake of muskmelon plant.

Mixed-bed ion exchange performance was studied experimentally with variations of cation to anion resin ratio, resin weight and temperature at ultralow sodium chloride solution concentrations of less than $1.0{\times}10^{-4}M$. Analyzing the effluent concentration histories the performance test was examined as a function of tested solution volume for a laboratory-scale continuous flow column until both the cation and anion-exchange resins were exhausted. Initial leakage was observed for both cation and anion breakthrough curves, but serious at cation breakthrough curve because of low selectivity coefficient. The slope of breakthrough curve was affected by selectivity coefficient and temperature. The slope of anion breakthrough curve was steep because of the large selectivity coefficient, and ion exchange rates increased as temperature increased. The temperature effect decreased as the total volume was increased or as the resins were exhausted.

Ca-type and Na-type bentonites show the great difference of some physicochemical properties. Na exchanged bentonite is mainly used for the foundry and construction materials in domestic utilization. This study tries to identify in detail the differences of some physicochemical properties and thermal properties between Ca-type and Na-type bentonites. Also the adsorption behavior and interlayer expansion for the HDTMA (Hexadecyltrimethylammonium) exchanged and CP (Cetylprydinium) exchanged Ca-type and Na-type bentonites were compared. Na-type bentonite shows the strong alkaline property, high viscosity and swelling compared to Ca-type bentonite. However, two types are very similar for the cation exchange capacity and MB (Methylene Blue) adsorption. The decomposition of adsorbed and interlayer water of Na-type bentonite is caused in the lower temperature than Ca-type bentonite. And Ca-type bentonite shows the decomposition of structural water in the lower temperature than Na-type bentonite. The interlayer expansion of montmorillonite resulted to the intercalation of HDTMA and CP into bentonite is so strongly caused from 12～15 $\AA$ to $40\AA$ (basal spacing). HDTMA-bentonite is almost expanded to $37～38\AA$ when 200% CEC equivalent amount of HDTMA is added, and CP-bentonite is fullly expanded to 40 $\AA$ in the 140% CEC equivalent amount of CP It means that CP causes the stronger interlayer expansion of montmorillonite and easier adsorption than HDTMA. Adsorption behaviors of CP into bentonite is so stable and continuously sorbed in the proportion to the treatment of amount until 200% of the CEC equivalents. CP-bentonite shows the same adsorption behavior regardless of Ca-type or Na-type montmorillonite.

The adsorption mechanism of Cs-137 in low level radioactive solution by vermiculite treated with Na ion is studied in order to investigate its effective utilization for the radioactive effluent treatment. The beneficial role of Na-vermiculite is that Na ion can induce the wider c-axis spacing in which Cs ion can be sorbed in vermiculite. Cation exchange capacity and distribution coefficient of cesium seems to be influenced by the variation of c-axis spacing of vermiculite. Comparative identification and detection with the characteristic analyses of X-ray diffraction and electron diffraction patterns, diffrential thermal analysis and electron microscopy of Na-, K- and Cs-vermiculite are studied for the phemomena of Cs adsorption by vermiculite. This importance of the utilization in terms of adsorption and fixation of cesium involving vermiculite is discussed. It is found that the Na-vermiculite is valuable outside charging material for high level radioactive liquid waste storage tank of underground to protect the pollution of the underground water.

The soy bean oil cakes and perillar oil cakes are phosphorylated and sulfonated to be used as ion exchangers. There 40-60mesh cations exchanges have bean tested on the capacity of ion exchange, the adsorption and distribution coefficients of several metal ions in various concentrations of binary solution mixture, hydrochloric acid and alcohol. From there experiments, the following results are concluded. The ion exchange capacity of ion exchangers are higher than 4 meq/g. The adsorption of metal ions on ion exchangers are increased generally as pH is increased, especially Co(II) on sulfonated soy bean oil cake. The distribution coefficients of various metal ions are decreased as the number of branches of carbon and hydroxyl groups are increased. There show that the stereo-isomerism of alkyl group or attraction of ligand have influenced upon various metal ions. Consequently it is deduced that there ion exchanges from soy bean oil cake and perillar oil cake resemble in properties to current ion exchangers.

층상이중수화물(Layered Double Hydroxides, LDH)은 층 사이에 무기물 음이온이 있는 2차원 충상구조물로서 이들 층 사이의 공간에 이동 가능한 수화된 음이온의 존재로 전하균형을 이룬다. 층 사이의 음이온은 교환이 가능하며, 나머지의 공간은 물분자로 채워져 있다. 이러한 특성을 응용하여 LDH는 촉매, 음이온 교환제, 흡착제, 담체로 사용가능하며, 특히 음이온 교환능이 있는 소재로 고분자에 적용되고 있으며, 층간에 염료를 삽입한 복합체의 제조 둥에 관한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이의 적용에서 LDH의 입도는 결정적인 한계 요인으로 작용하기도 한다. 본 실험에서는 Mg-Al-NO$_3$ 층상이중수산화물(Mg-Al-NO$_3$-LDH)을 공침전법으로 합성하고, 양이온의 농도와 공침시 pH 및 교반조건의 변화가 생성된 LDH의 결정상, 형상, 입도, 및 양이온교환능에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 특히 초음파 분산법을 적용하는 경우 생성되는 LDH 입자크기의 미세화에 효과적인 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Stabilization behavior of Cr, Cd, Cu, Pb, Fe and Zn heavy metals in the EAF dust was investigated by adding EAF dust to clay or white clay, respectively, up to 50 wt% with 10 wt% intervals and sintering at temperatures between 200 and $1200^{\circ}C$ with $200^{\circ}C$ intervals with an aid of ICP-AES followed by TCLP test to evaluate heavy metal cation exchange capacity of the clay or the white clay. The clay or the white clay had a better Cr ion exchange capacity than that of zeolite. The TCLP leaching test for the sintered specimens showed that Cr and Fe were rarely detected for all the specimens and the concentration of Cd and Zn decreased with increasing sintering temperature and decreasing EAF dust contents respectively. When the clay or the white clay were mixed with EAF dust, cation exchange may occur between the clay and the EAF dust so that the first stabilization of the mixtures containing semistabilized heavy metals may happen. Stabilization of heavy metals in the ceramic bodies was further completed probably due to the eutectic reaction caused by the sintering of semi-stabilized mixtures. It was conceivable that the white clay rather than the clay may be a better stabilizer for the EAF dust containing heavy metals.
