The purpose of this study is to find the regeneration method of filter media using physical and chemical treatment for restoration of phosphorus adsorption ability. The filtration material used in this study is called Adphos. In an experiment of heating treatment, re-used filter media is heated to a high temperature before the adsorption test. The results show that the $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ adsorption capacity is in the range of 0.0021 - 0.0030 mg/g and the removal efficiency is in the range of 26.1 - 39.4%. In the experiment of acid or basic treatment, re-used filter media is exposed to a different pH condition before the adsorption test. The results show that the $PO_4^{3-}-P$ adsorption capacity is in the range of 0.0010 - 0.0066 mg/g and the removal efficiency is in the range of 15.8 - 87.1% after the acid treatments which have pH values of 1 - 5. However, after the basic treatments which have pH values of 8 - 11, the results show that the $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ adsorption capacity is in the range of 0.0018 - 0.0034 mg/g and the removal efficiency is in the range of 26.7 - 48.0%. In an experiment of chemical treatment using NaCl, re-used filter media was exposed to a different NaCl concentration before the adsorption test. The results show that the $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ adsorption capacity is in the range of 0.0036 - 0.0050 mg/g and the removal efficiency is in the range of 50.5 - 71.1%. In conclusion, chemical treatment using NaCl shows a high recovery probability of phosphorus adsorption ability of filter media.

Acetic acid has been used as a solvent in the process of manufacturing terephthalic acid. Although the used acetic acid has been mainly separated and recovered through the distillation process, adsorption process can be applied to recover a small amount of acetic acid remaining in the stream after the distillation process. In this study, activated carbon was selected as an adsorbent for acetic acid and the effects of temperature and acid treatment on adsorption capacity were investigated. The adsorption capacities of activated carbon for acetic acid were 0.176 mmol/g at 303 K and 0.118 mmol/g at 343 K, respectively. Adsorption capacity decreased with increasing temperature. The acid treatment of the activated carbon induced the increase in adsorption capacity, which was ascribed to increase in surface functional groups such as phenolic hydroxyl groups and carboxilic acid groups on the carbon surface. In the results of acetic acid desorption, 89% of adsorbed acetic acid was desorbed from activated carbon.

오염물 이동에 영향을 미치는 지연계수는 용질과 시료의 흡착특성을 나타낸다. 흡착특성을 표현하는 데에는 Freundlich등온식, Langmuir등온식 또는 선형등온식등을 사용할 수 있는 데, 본 연구에서는 상관계수를 이용하여 각등온식의 적용성을 평가하고 용질이동 수치해 석을 하여 농도가 10ppm 이하로 낮을 경우의 용질이동정도를 상호 비교하였다. 아연, 크롬, 납에 대한 등온식의 상관계수에 따른 적용성 평가결과 Freundlich 등온식이 보편적으로 적용 가능한 것으로 나타났고, 수치해석 결과 농도가 10ppm 이하일 경우는 용질이동성이 동일하게 나타났다.

This study focused on evaluating the suitability of the WRK (waste repository Korea) bentonite as a buffer material in the SNF (spent nuclear fuel) repository. The U (uranium) adsorption/desorption characteristics and the adsorption mechanisms of the WRK bentonite were presented through various analyses, adsorption/desorption experiments, and kinetic adsorption modeling at various pH conditions. Mineralogical and structural analyses supported that the major mineral of the WRK bentonite is the Ca-montmorillonite having the great possibility for the U adsorption. From results of the U adsorption/desorption experiments (intial U concentration: 1 mg/L) for the WRK bentonite, despite the low ratio of the WRK bentonite/U (2 g/L), high U adsorption efficiency (>74%) and low U desorption rate (<14%) were acquired at pH 5, 6, 10, and 11 in solution, supporting that the WRK bentonite can be used as the buffer material preventing the U migration in the SNF repository. Relatively low U adsorption efficiency (<45%) for the WRK bentonite was acquired at pH 3 and 7 because the U exists as various species in solution depending on pH and thus its U adsorption mechanisms are different due to the U speciation. Based on experimental results and previous studies, the main U adsorption mechanisms of the WRK bentonite were understood in viewpoint of the chemical adsorption. At the acid conditions (＜pH 3), the U is apt to adsorb as forms of UO₂²⁺, mainly due to the ionic bond with Si-O or Al-O(OH) present on the WRK bentonite rather than the ion exchange with Ca²⁺ among layers of the WRK bentonite, showing the relatively low U adsorption efficiency. At the alkaline conditions (>pH 7), the U could be adsorbed in the form of anionic U-hydroxy complexes (UO₂(OH)₃^-, UO₂(OH)₄^2-, (UO₂)₃(OH)₇^-, etc.), mainly by bonding with oxygen (O^-) from Si-O or Al-O(OH) on the WRK bentonite or by co-precipitation in the form of hydroxide, showing the high U adsorption. At pH 7, the relatively low U adsorption efficiency (42%) was acquired in this study and it was due to the existence of the U-carbonates in solution, having relatively high solubility than other U species. The U adsorption efficiency of the WRK bentonite can be increased by maintaining a neutral or highly alkaline condition because of the formation of U-hydroxyl complexes rather than the uranyl ion (UO₂²⁺) in solution,and by restraining the formation of U-carbonate complexes in solution.

산업활동으로 인해 발생하는 슬래그 등의 폐기물을 적절히 처리하는 방법으로서는 저비용 처리형태와 자연계에서 슬래그 등의 특성을 고려한 Filter 기능을 수행할 수 있도록 수질이 악화된 하천이나 정체수역에 투입시켜 수질을 개선시킬 수 있는 방법의 도입이 필요하다. 현재 POSCO에서 발생하는 슬래그와 폐콘크리트의 화학적 성분은 주로 $CaO,\;SiO_2,\;Al_2O_3,\;Fe_2O_3$ 등으로 이루어져 있으며, 침전유발물질 및 흡착성물질이 공존하고 있다. 다공질 형태의 비표면적을 가지고 있어서 정화용 필터로 이용하기에 좋은 이점을 가지고 있다. 슬래그나 폐콘크리트를 Mattress/Filter 채움재 및 수질정화용 여재로 활용하면 폐기물처리, 자원 재활용 그리고 수질 환경 개선의 세 가지 효과를 동시에 얻을 수 있는 방법이 된다. 본 연구에서는 슬래그와 폐콘크리트를 활용한 정체수역에서 정화시스템의 정화특성을 조사하기 위하여 유입수와 유출수의 pH, 용존산소, 질소, 인 등을 측정하여 비교하였다. 수질개선을 위한 Mattress/Filter 시스템의 기본개념은 하천의 오염된 물이 Mattress/Filter의 공극사이를 통과하면서 채움재에 형성된 생물막이 수질 개선과정에서 나타나는 접촉작용, 생물 흡착작용, 생물산화의 분해작용 등을 촉진시키도록 하였다. Mattress/Filter를 이용한 수중 수질개선시스템에서 채움재로 제철폐기물인 슬래그와 건설폐기물인 폐콘크리트를 사용함으로써 Mattress/Filter의 다공성 및 넓은 표면적이라는 특성에 따른 물리적$\cdot$화학적$\cdot$생물학적 작용이 촉진되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 그 결과 정체수역에 설치한 Mattress/Filter는 다공질 속에서 쉽게 생물막을 형성시키고 유기물의 흡착을 촉진시켜 오염물질을 정화하는데 필요한 자정작용의 효과 증대와 수질개선을 촉진시킬 수 있는 자연생태적 하천정화시스템임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The treatment of heavy metal, in the waste ash from incinerator and mine solid waste, by using alkali-soluble acrylic copolymer emulsion, that is effective in the absorption of heavy metal has been studied. It seemed that alkali soluble acrylic copolymer emulsion was very effective in the absorption of Hg, Pb, Cd and Cu in this test. Also, eco-friendly thixotropic grout, using alkali soluble acrylic copolymer emulsion, that is effective in the absorption of heavy metal, for the recycling of waste ash from incinerator and mine solid waste has been tested. It was observed that waste ash could be used as a raw material of eco-friendly thixotropic grout mortar due to the effectiveness of alkali soluble acrylic copolymer emulsion in the fixation of heavy metals including $Cr^{6+}$ from waste ash in this test.
