Ethylbenzene (EB) which has a similar physical properties with p-xylene (pX) was separated from EB/pX mixture by using MFI-type zeolite (TS-1, ZSM-5, and Silicalite-1) coated membranes. The zeolites were synthesized by microwave method to reduce the synthesis time and uniformly formed zeolite particles were coated on the ${\alpha}$-almina tubular support with a thickness of $3-4{\mu}m$. Separation factor and permeation flux of the synthesized zeolite coated membranes were measured to survey the best performance of ethylbenzene separation from different composition of EB/pX mixtures. When the EB/pX mixture of 5:5 molar ratio applied for the separation experiment, it represented the highest separation factor. We also have studied about the effect of the atomic composition of zeolites on the separation performance within the temperature range from 160 to $220^{\circ}C$. TS-1 showed the highest permeation flux of $1,666mol/m^{2*}s^*Pa$ and Silicate-1 showed the highest separation factor of 1.73 at $200^{\circ}C$ respectively.

Smectites were synthesized from Na-P type and Na-A type zeolites by the hydrothermal synthetic method, and their physicochemical properties were studied. The optimal synthetic conditions for producing smectite were $290^{\circ}C$, 72 hr and $75{\sim}100kgf/cm^2$ in autogenous pressure. pHs of initial reaction solutions for the synthesis of smectites from Na-P type and Na-A type zeolite s were pH 6 and pH 10, respectively. The synthetic smectite was confirmed as $12{\AA}$-beidellite by a series of analysis such as X-ray diffraction analysis with random and oriented mounts, ethylene glycol treatment, and Greene-Kelly test, and their several physicochemical properties were studied.

A and 2SM-5 type zeoli tic crystal films were synthesized on porous supports from the reaction mixture of 1.9 ${SiO}_2$1.5 $Na_20-Al_2O_3-40$ $H_20$ and $Si0_2$-0.l3 $Na_2O$-52 $H_20$-O.l2 TPAOH composition, respectively. The zeolite films were characterized by XRD and SEM. The 2SM -5 crystals grown on the porous matrix were very closely bound together. It was so difficult to obtain the perfectly intergrown crystals in the case of A-type zeolite and this crystal was transformed into P-type zeolite membrane with a prolonged reaction time. The densely intergrown A type zeolite crystal membrane could be also synthesized by the hydrothermal treatment at 100$^{\cirt}C$ after pressing the reaction mixture without addition of water. The pervaporation performance of the synthesized porous inorganic membranes was investigated for alcohol and water mixtures. A-type zeolite membrane crystallized as a thin film showed the selective \'Jermeability of water from the mixtures through the molecular sieving activity of micropores.

The objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the ion exchange characteristics of five types of Zeolite(Zeolite-A, 13X, Y, Mordenite, Chabazite) for effective removal of Cs, Sr and Co ions in water solution at low concentration(0.01 N and 0.005 N). Total ion exchange capacity and equilibrium isotherm are measured, and free-energy change(${\Delta}G^0$) and enthalpy change(${\Delta}H^0$) in ion exchange reaction are calculated from experimental results. In addition the ion exchange equilibrium in the three-component system for three types of zeolite showing better efficiency is measured and plotted in triangle coordinates. It is shown from experimental results that the magnitude of free-energy change increases with the increasing ion selectivity, and the difference of free energy change between ions correlates closely with that of ion selectivity. The results also shows that Chabazite is effective for the adsorption of Cs ion, and Zeolite-A and Zeolite-13X for that of Sr and Co ions.

For the immobilization of high-radioactive nuclides such as Cs and Sr by high-temperature thermal decomposition, this study was carried out to investigate the phase transformation with calcined temperature by using TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) and XRD (X-ray diffraction) in the Cs-adsorbed CHA (chabazite zeolite of K type)-Cs and CHA-PCFC (potassium cobalt ferrocyanide)-Cs zeolite system, and Sr-adsorbed 4A-Sr and BaA-Sr zeolite system, respectively. In the case of CHA-Cs zeolite system, the structure of CHA-Cs remained at up to $900^{\circ}C$ and recrystallized to pollucite ($CsAlSi_2O_6$) at $1,100^{\circ}C$ after undergoing amorphous phase at $1,000^{\circ}C$. However, the CHA-CFC-Cs zeolite system retained the CHA-PCFC-Cs structure up to $700^{\circ}C$, but its structure collapsed in $900{\sim}1,000^{\circ}C$, and then transformed to amorphous phase, and recrystallized to pollucite at $1,100^{\circ}C$. In the case of 4A-Sr zeolite system, on the other hand, the structure of 4A-Sr maintained up to $700^{\circ}C$ and its phase transformed to amorphous at $800^{\circ}C$, and recrystallized to Sr-feldspar ($SrAl_2Si_2O_8$, hexagonal) at $900^{\circ}C$ and to $SrAl_2Si_2O_8$ (triclinic) at $1,100^{\circ}C$. However, the BaA-Sr zeolite system structure began to break down at below $500^{\circ}C$, and then transformed to amorphous phase in $500{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ and recrystallized to Ba/Sr-feldspar (coexistence of $Ba_{0.9}Sr_{0.1}Al_2Si_2O_8$ and $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}Al_2Si_2O_8$) at $1,100^{\circ}C$. All of the above zeolite systems recrystallized to mineral phase through the dehydration/(decomposition) ${\rightarrow}$ amorphous ${\rightarrow}$ recrystallization with increasing temperature. Although further study of the volatility and leachability of Cs and Sr in the high-temperature thermal decomposition process is required, Cs and Sr adsorbed in each zeolite system are mineralized as pollucite, Sr-feldspar and Ba/Sr-feldspar. Therefore, Cs and Sr seen to be able to completely immobilize in the calcining wasteform/(solidified wasteform).

1. 서론 : 폴리이미드는 우수한 기계적 강도와 열적, 화학적 안정성으로 인해 최근 막분리 재료로 많이 연구 검토되고 있다. 대부분의 폴리이미드는 비교적 높은 선택도를 가지고 있으나 투과계수가 떨어지는 단점을 지니고 있어소 이를 극복하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그 결과 투과계수를 크게 증가시킨 폴리이미드를 함성하였으나 선택도는 감소하여 투과특성의 상위한계를 넘지는 못하였다. 이 한계를 극복하기 의해서 복합잴를 이용하거나 UV, 플라즈마 처리에 의한 고분자막의 수식 등 많은 방법들이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구는 NaX형 제올라이트를 폴리이미드에 혼화시킨 막으로 산소/질소의 분리투과특성의 개선을 시도하였으며, NaX형 제올라이트와 폴리이미드 혼화방법, 혼화비율 등이 기체투과특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 NaX형 제올라이트는 직접 합성하여 사용하였다. 폴리이미드는 2,3,5,6-Tetramethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine(p-TeMPD)과 (3,3,4,4'-dicarboxyphenyl)-hexafluoropropene-dianhydride(6FDA)로 합성한 6FDA-p-TeMPD 폴리이미드를 사용하였고, 그 투과계수는 122Barrer, 선택도$\alpha$$_{N_2/O_2}$ = 3.4이다.

A. partially decationized Y zeolite was pretreated under specific conditions. It was found this calcinated zeolite retains its separation properties for mixtures of the gases hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, and methane but has much lower affinity for water molecules than untreated, e.g., zeolites A type or X type. The observed effect is discussed on the basis of the results of adsorption measurements on the adsorption capacities, isotherms, and heats of adsorption.

The influence of acidity in MTT zeolite of different Si/Al molar ratio's on the catalyst activity in methanol-to-olefin (MTO) reaction has been investigated. The Si/Al ratio was controlled with the Al content in the gel when N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-1,3-diaminopropane was used as a structure directing agent (SDA). The gel composition was controlled to $20SiO_2$ : 30SDA : x (=0.25~1.25)$NaAlO_2$ : 2NaOH : $624H_2O$, which was subject to the hydrothermal synthesis at 433 K for 4 days. As the composition of sodium aluminate decreased, the particle size of MTT zeolite increased, and also the amount of acid sites decreased. To investigate the catalytic performance, MTO reaction was carried out at 673 K with $1.2h^{-1}$ WHSV. It was found that the H-MTT (1.00Al) catalyst with a Si/Al molar ratio of 24 maintained the methanol conversion over 90% for 900 min.
