Ion chromatography was applied to determine iodide remained in sulfuric acid aqueous solution after adsorption procedure. Iodide was determined in 0.25 M, 0.5 M and 1 M sulfuric acid solution on time variation. Because sulfuric acid in solution plays as an oxidizer, the concentration of iodide decreased with increasing concentration or sulfuric acid. Thereafter, sulfuric acid was neutralized with sodium hydroxide. Good linearity(r=0.99999) was obtained at the range of 0-20 mg/L 1 in 0.5 M sodium sulfate matrix.

The cesium hydrogen sulfate (CsHSO$_4$) crystal is a superprotonic conductor above 140$^{\circ}C$ and possesses protonic conductivity three to low orders of magnitude higher than that at room temperature. Recently, the possibility of it as an electrolyte material for fuel cell system draws much attention. However, its plasticity and absorption of humidity place a limitation on its application. In this study, composites consisting of CsHSO$_4$ and polyacrylonitrile were prepared, and their phase transition properties and the ionic conductivities were evaluated. When the content of CsHSO$_4$ was about 80 vol%, a mechanically strong film with the protonic conductivity of 1${\times}$10$\^$-3/ Scm$\^$-1/ were made.

Surface crosslinked chitosan composite membranes were prepared with glutaraldehyde and surfuric acid. Effects of neutralization for complex between chitosan and acetic acid and of water permeability for substrate membranes on pervaporation performance were investigated. For ionically crosskinked membranes, effect of active layer thickness on separation factor of water/ethanol mixture was studied. With increasing the water permeability of the substrate, the membrane showed an increased separation factor, while it maintained a constant permeate flux. Neutralized chitosan composite membranes revealed a decreased separation factor and a constant permeate flux. When the thickness of the active layer increased, an optimum crosslinking time to achieve higher separation factor shifted to a prolonged times.

In the atomic absorption spectrometry using an air-acetylene flame, the interferences of Zr, Sn, Al, Sb, $SO_4^{2-},\;VO_3^-,\;and\;SiO_3^{2-}$, on the calcium absorption and the repression of this interference by the addition of cerium have been studied. The interference by Zr, Sn, Al, Sb, $SO_4^{2-},\;VO_3^-,\;and\;SiO_3^{2-}$ existed as the same concentration as calciurn ($3.0 {\times} 10^{-4}$M) in the sample solution are completely released by the addition of cerium twice as much as interfering cation. The interferences by the mixed interfering cations (Zr, Sn, Al and Sb) and by the mixed interfering anions ($SO_4^{2-},\;VO_3^-,\;and\;SiO_3^{2-}$) are larger than by each interfering cation and anion, and the releasing effect by cerium ($1.5 {\times} 10^{-2}$M) is effective up to some degree of the concentration of mixed interfering cations and of mixed interfering anions. The releasing effect by cerium to the mixed solution of interfering cations and anions is applicable to quite wide range of concentration.

구리 이온은 -0.40V (vs. SCE)에서 전기화학적 환원이 일어나는 반면, 니켈 이온은 -1.19V (vs. SCE)에서 전착이 발생한다. 따라서, 단일 도금욕조 내에서 Ni-Cu 합금도금층을 제조하기 위해서는 두 금속 이온종 간의 전위차를 줄여주어야 하는데, 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 $Na_3C_6H_5O_7{\cdot}2H_2O$를 착화제로 사용하였다. 다양한 Ni-Cu 합금 도금층의 조성을 얻기 위하여 기본 도금욕 내 황산니켈과 황산구리의 비율을 10:1로 설정하였다. 도금 공정 조건에 따른 합금 도금층 조성 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 도금액 pH와 교반 속도에 따른 도금층 조성 변화를 분석하였으며, 도금액의 UV-VIS과 도금층의 XRD 와 SEM 측정을 통하여 도금욕과 도금층 간의 상관 관계를 유추하였다. 본 도금액에 사용된 $Na_3C_6H_5O_7{\cdot}2H_2O$ 착화제의 효과는 pH3에서 가장 현저하였으며, pH 변화 및 교반 속도 변화를 이용하여 다양한 합금 조성을 얻을 수 있었다.

Decontamination wastewater generated from the HyBRID decontamination process of the primary system in a nuclear power plant contains impurities such as sulfate ions, metal ions containing radioactive nuclides, and hydrazine (carcinogenic agent). For this reason, it is necessary to develop a technology to remove these impurities from the wastewater to a safe level. In this study, it has been conducted to remove the impurities using a decontamination wastewater surrogate, and a treatment process of the HyBRID decontamination wastewater has been established. The performance and applicability of the treatment process have been verified through 1 L scale of replicates and a pilot scale (300 L/batch) test.

The adsorption of nickel(Ni) from sulfuric acid solution was carried out by ion exchange method. A series of batch tests in synthetic solutions were carried out using Lewatit Monoplus TP 220 resin. The following experimental parameters, such as temperature, shaking rate, reaction time, pH, resin dosage and concentration of nickel ions etc. were investigated to establish the effective optimum conditions of nickel adsorption. The solution pH(2.0~5.0) and shaking rate had little effects on the adsorption of nickel and adsorption time of 72hours was required to reach equilibrium. The experimental results show a good agreement with Feundlich isotherm and pseudo-second order reaction. The adsorption behavior of Ni obtained from synthetic solution was compared with that of waste electroplating solution. Elution of nickel from loaded resin increased with increase in $H_2SO_4$ concentration.

The smelting reduction of spent lithium-ion batteries results in metallic alloys containing Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Si. A process to separate metal ions from the sulfuric acid leaching solution of these metallic alloys has been reported. In this process, ionic liquids are employed to separate Fe(III) and Cu(II). In this study, D2EHPA and Cyanex 301 were employed to replace these ionic liquids. Fe(III) and Cu(II) from the sulfate solution were sequentially extracted using 0.5 M D2EHPA with three stages of cross-current and 0.3 M Cyanex 301. The stripping of Fe(III) and Cu(II) from the loaded phases was performed using 50% (v/v) and 60% (v/v) aqua regia solutions, respectively. The mass balance results from this process indicated that the recovery and purity percentages of the metals were greater than 99%.

The study of flocculation kinetics is of fundamental interest in the field of water treatment, because rational study of the factors affecting the coagulation process should be based on the rate of particle growth. The effect of sulfate on flocculation kinetics were examined using ferric nitrate as a coagulant to coagulate kaolin clay in water under several experimental conditions. Both the particle size distribution data obtained from the AIA and the on-line measurement of turbidity fluctuation by the PDA were used to measure flocculation kinetics. Results show that sulfate ion added to the kaolin suspension played an important role in the flocculation process, not only improving flocculation kinetics at more acidic pH levels but also changing surface charge of particles. The kinetics of flocculation were improved mainly by the enhanced rate and extent of Fe(III) precipitation attributed to the addition of sulfate, and thereby, better interparticle collision frequency, but little by the charge reductions resulting from the sulfate addition. The increase in sulfate concentration beyond $3\times10^{-4}M (up to 2\times10^{-3}M)$ did not induce further improvement in flocculation kinetics, although the higher concentrations of sulfate ion substantially increased the negative ZP value of particles. Key Words : Flocculation Kinetics, Fe(III) Coagulant, Sulfate ion, Turbidity Fluctuation.

In order to remove sulfate(SO42-) and purify the Li2CO3, dissolution and recrystallization of crude Li2CO3 using distilled water and HCl solution was performed. When Li2CO3 was dissolved using distilled water, the amount of dissolved Li2CO3(wt.%) increased as the solution temperature decrease and showed about 1.50 wt.% at 2.5℃. In addition, when Na2CO3 was added and the Li2CO3 solution was recrystallized, the recrystallization(%) increased with increasing temperature, resulting in a 49.00 % at 95 ℃. On the other hand, when Li2CO3 was dissolved using HCl solution, there was no effect of reaction temperature. As the concentration of HCl solution increased, the amount of dissolved Li2CO3(wt.%) increased, indicating 7.10 wt.% in 2.0 M HCl solution. When the LiCl solution was recrystallized by adding Na2CO3, it exhibited a recrystallization(%) of 86.10 % at a reaction temperature of 70 ℃, and showed a sulfate ion removal(%) of 96.50 % or more. Finally, more than 99.10 % of Na and more than 99.90 % of sulfate were removed from the recrystallized Li2CO3 powder through water washing, and purified Li2CO3 with a purity of 99.10 % could be recovered.
