Inhibition effects of histidine (His), methionine (Met) on the corrosion of nickel were investigated in deaerated 0.5 M HCl and 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ solution. All the inhibition efficiency for the nickel corrosion depended on the anodic inhibition. Amino acid adsorption process on nickel surface in the solution of HCl can be explained by modified Langmuir isotherm, however, in the solution of $H_2SO_4$ by Temkin logarithmic isotherm due to the interaction between the adsorbed molecules. The molecule of histidine dissolved in HCl-solution were physically adsorbed due to the electrostatic interaction between the surface of {$Ni-Cl^-$} and the {$-NH{_3}^+$} and {$-NH^+=$} of His. However the other cases of adsorption in this investigation can be explained by chemical adsorption between the empty d-orbital of Ni and the lone pair of electron in His and Met.

This study was aimed to propose La(III)-zeolite composite which can effectively and simultaneously remove ammonia and phosphate in confined water bodies such as lakes and ponds. The optimum ratio of La(III):zeolite for the simultaneous removal of ammonia and phosphate was 0.0048 La(III) g:1 zeolite g. The drying temperature of La(III)-zeolite composite severely affected phosphate adsorption showing optimum condition at room temperature. It was revealed that the optimum dosage of La(III)-zeolite composite was 4.052 g/L at adsorption time of 90 min. The presence of alkalinity in aqueous solution brought positive effect on phosphate adsorption. Detachment of La(III) from La(III)-zeolite composite, which was dried at room temperature, was not observed in aquous solution. It indicates that La(III)-zeolite composite could effectively block phosphate released from sediment.

We studied adsorption isotherm, surface properties and antibacterial activity of Cu treated activated carbon fiber (ACF). The BET surface area of Cu treated ACF are distributed to $688.2-887.8m^2/g$. The adsorption results show that BET surface areas move gradually to lower value with increasing treated Cu mole concentration. Using t-method, the specific micropore volumes and average pore size were obtained. From the SEM study, it is also observed that many of micropores in activated carbon fiber are blocked surface after the treatment. And we also observed that the activity of E. coli in kind of colon bacillus increases gradually to larger range with increasing Cu mole ratio. From these results, we suggest the antibacterial mechanism for metal treated ACF.

Inhibition effects of alanine (Ala), histidine (His), methionine (Met) on the corrosion of aluminum were investigated in deaerated 0.5 M HCl and NaCl solution. In HCl solution the inhibition efficiency for the aluminum corrosion depended on the cathodic inhibition, and the inhibition efficiency was increased in the order of Met$10^{-4\;}M$ the adsorption process can be explained by Langmuir isotherm, however, in the case of higher concentration by Temkin logarithmic isotherm due to the interaction between the adsorbed molecules.

The adsorption properties of the activated carbon-based adsorbents were studied to remove COS emitted from $SO_2$ catalytic reduction process on the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) system in this work. Transition metal supported catalysts and mixed metal oxide catalysts were used for the $SO_2$ catalytic reduction. The mechanism of COS produced from the $SO_2$ reduction and the COS concentration s according to the reaction temperature were investigated. In this study, an activated carbon and a modified activated carbon doped with KOH were used to remove the very low concentration of COS effectively. The adsorption rate and the breakthrough time of COS were measured by a thermo gravity analyzer (TGA, Cahn Balance) and a fixed bed flow reactor equipped with GC-pulsed flammable photometric detector (PFPD), respectively. It was confirmed that the COS breakthrough time of the activated carbon doped with KOH was longer than that of an activated carbon. In conclusion, the modified-activated carbon having a high surface area showed a high adsorption rate of COS produced from the $SO_2$ reduction.

Heavy metal adsorption by microbial cells is an alternative to conventional methods of heavy metal removal and recovery from metal-bearing wastewater The waste Sac-chuomyces cerevisiae is an inexpensive, relatively available source of biomass for heavy metal biosorption. Biosorption was investigated by free and immobilized-S. cerevisiae. The order of biosorption capacity was Pb>Cu>Cd with batch system. The biosorption parameters had been determined for Pb with free , cells according to the Freundlich and Langmuir model. It was found that the data fitted reasonably well to the Freundlich model. The selective uptake of immobilized-S. cerevisiae was observed when all the metal ions were dissolved in a mixed metals solution(Pb, Cu, Cr and Cd). The biosorption of mixed metals solution by immobilized-cell was studied in packed bed reactor. The Pb uptake was Investigated in particular, as it represents one of the most widely distributed heavy metals in water. We also tested the desorption of Pb from immobilized-cell by us- ing HCI, $H_2SO_4$ and EDTA.

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.

In this paper, parameter characteristics such as pH effect, isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters and competitive adsorption of dyes including malachite green (MG), direct red 81 (DR 81) and thioflavin S (TS), which have different functional groups, being adsorbed onto activated carbon were investigated. Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models were employed to find the adsorption mechanism. Effectiveness of adsorption treatment of three dyes by activated carbon were confirmed by the Langmuir dimensionless separation factor. The mechanism was found to be a physical adsorption which can be verified through the adsorption heat calculated by Temkin equation. The adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo second order and the rate limiting step was intra-particle diffusion. The positive enthalpy and entropy changes showed an endothermic reaction and increased disorder via adsorption at the S-L interface, respectively. For each dye molecule, negative Gibbs free energy increased with the temperature, which means that the process is spontaneous. In the binary component system, it was found that the same functional groups of the dye could interfere with the mutual adsorption, and different functional groups did not significantly affect the adsorption. In the ternary component system, the adsorption for MG lowered a bit, likely to be disturbed by the other dyes meanwhile DR 81 and TS were to be positively affected by the presence of MG, thus resulting in much higher adsorption.

최근 실내공기질에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 실내공기질을 쾌적하게 유지하기 위한 다양한 기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 기존에는 미세먼지와 부유미생물 등이 가장 중요한 오염물질이었으나, 최근에는 이산화탄소가 크게 각광받고 있다. 이산화탄소는 그 자체가 환기의 지표이기도 하지만, 최근의 저탄소 녹색성장 기조에 따라 환기에 의한 냉난방 에너지 비용을 절감하는 방안에 대한 관심도 크게 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 제올라이트를 이용하여 실내공간의 이산화탄소를 제어하는 방안에 대하여 기술하였다. 소형 lab-scale의 이산화탄소 흡착성능 평가시스템을 제작하고, 이를 이용하여 제올라이트의 이산화탄소의 흡착성능을 알아보았다. 또한, 본 시스템의 실용화를 위해서는 이산화탄소가 흡착한 제올라이트의 재생이 필요한데, 이를 위하여 다양한 온도와 압력 등의 조건 하에서 이산화탄소의 탈착성능을 TSA/PSA를 이용하여 알아보았다. 흡착실험을 통하여 제올라이트를 이용한 실내공간용 이산화탄소의 저감 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나, 탈착실험 결과 2~5회 정도 열탈착 시킨 후에는 이산화탄소의 흡착 성능이 현저하게 감소하여, 이를 개선하기 위한 방안의 개발이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

As a result of adsorbing phthalocyanine (metal free, ${\alpha}\;and\;{\beta}$-Cu) on zinc oxide in aqueous solution using nonionic surfactant, all of the added dye was adsorbed and Na salt of sulfonated phthalocyanine showed the Langmuir monolayer adsorption. To analyze the effect of adsorption on zinc oxide, photovoltage was measured using surface photovoltmeter. The high photovoltaic effect was observed at intrinsic wavelength of zinc oxide and wavelength of adsorbed phthalocyanine dye. Metal free phthalocyanine, ${\alpha}$-copper phthalocyanine and ${\beta}$-copper phthalocyanine showed the highest photovoltaic effect when the percentage of coverage (${\theta}_{BET}$) for zinc oxide is about 80, while sulfonated phthalocyanine showed the highest photovoltaic effect when the percentage of coverage for zinc oxide is about 30.
