현재 우리 나라는 공단지역에서 발생하는 VOCs(휘발성 유기화합물) 및 악취의 처리에 대한 연구개발 및 기존기술이 매우 취약한 실정이며, 일부 화학공장에서는 축열식 연소장치나 촉매연소장치를 설치하여 운전하고 있지만, 유지비(보조연료비)가 많이 소요되어 제대로 가동하지 못하는 경우가 있다. 대부분 제조업체의 경우, 활성탄 흡착탑을 설치하여 운영하지만, 화학공장에서 발생하는 포름알데히드, 스티렌 등과 같은 일부 물질은 흡착탑 내부에 타-르 같은 물질이 침적하고, 활성탄에 의한 흡착율이 낮다. (중략)

Granular activated carbon(GAC) adsorption is one of the best available technology to remove synthetic organic chemicals(SOCs) from water supplies and wastewater. In order to satisfy enviromental criteria and reduce GAC treatment cost, optimal study of reverse stratified tapered adsorber(RSTA) has been conducted. The RSTA was found to provide on increase in breakthrough time when compared to a conventional cylindrical adsorber(CA). Through the RSTA optimal experiment, optimal mean bed velocity was decided 19.10cm/min and optimal angle was decided RSTA($3.0^{\circ}$). Adsorption efficiency was increased with increasing activated carbon doses and the number of activated carbon layers.

Objective of the research is to deteonine the praeLic따 running parameters for neutralization and removal of heavy metals from plating wastewater with waste-oyster shells by the Bohart$.$Adams equation. Waste-oyster shells discharged from the d domestic oyster cultnring fields cause a serious ocean environmental pollution. However, it is expected that those are able to b be recycled for removal of heavy metals through neutralization of plating wastewater because the shells contain approximate 93% $CaCO_3$, and have multi-pore voids. By applying the results of the continuous experiments to Bohart-Adams equation, s service time decreases in the order of Cr>Fe>Cu while removal efficiencies of metals become less in the order of Fe>Cr>Cu.

This study was conducted to improve the operating conditions of an adsorption tower filled with potassium impregnated activated carbon for high hydrogen sulfide capture capacity. Heat treatment modified the surface properties of activated carbon, and ultimately determined its adsorption capacity. The activated carbon doped with potassium showed 57 times more adsorption at room temperature than that of using the raw adsorbent. It is believed that uniform pore formation and strong bonding of the potassium on the surface of carbon contributed to the chemical and physical absorption of hydrogen sulfide. The SEM analysis on the surface structure of various commercial carbons showed that the modification of surface properties through the heat treatment generated the destruction of pore structures resulted in the decrease of the absorption performance. The pressure drop across the activated carbon bed was closely related with the grain size and shape. The optimum size of irregularly shaped activated carbon granules was 2~4 mesh indicating economical feasibility.

An electric swing adsorption (ESA) process for recovering highly pure $CO_2$ from the mixed gases was tested. In this study, activated carbon fibers were used as an adsorbent. The activated carbon fibers showed fast adsorption rate and the high adsorption capacity for $CO_2$ adsorption under the condition of the ambient pressure. Activated carbon fiber with higher specific surface area was suitable to repeated adsorption-desorption cycle process, showing consistent breakthrough curve. Especially, the regeneration method by vacuum combined with ESA improved the performance of desorption process by an additional 17％ regeneration efficiency compared to a vacuum only method, and showed the high regeneration efficiency at comparatively low 7-8 Wh energy.

Various desorption methods were investigated for an activated carbon and zeolite 13X packed bed after benzene adsorption. Desorption experiments using hot steam, purge gas, and evacuation were performed. As a result, the desorption with hot steam showed the best performance. Hot steam makes the temperature in the adsorption column increase and gives arise to the desorption. Drying process should be accompanied to increase the efficiency because steam vapor prevents the adsorption later. The vacuum desorption showed poor performance and it reveals that temperature swing operation is more effective than pressure swing operation. In the purge gas desorption, good performance was achieved using evacuation.

The effects of activated-carbon (AC) packing length on the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) performance was investigated for the hydrogen separation from the multicomponent mixture gas. Linear driving force model was used to describe mass transfer between two phase and coupled Langmuir isotherm was used for each component as a nonlinear adsorption isotherm. When two adsorbents with a different adsorption capacity were packed consecutively in one bed, it is very important to determine the packing ratio of zeolite to activated carbon affecting the purity and recovery of the product. The activated carbon packing length in adsorption tower of 120 cm was determinated by the ending point of $CO_2$ contration. The optimum length of an activated carbon layer was 65 cm for production of high-purity hydrogen.
