In this study, adsorption characteristics of expanded graphite (EG) were investigated by a series of batch adsorption tests using p-Xylene as a model volatile organic compounds (VOCs). After acid treatment, graphite were expanded at various temperature from $600^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$ for one minute. The optimal temperature was $800^{\circ}C$, where the expansion ratio reached 195 times of original volume. The BET specific surface area of EG was $92.4m^2/g$, which was only 1/10 of granular activated carbon (GAC), however the adsorption of p-Xylene by EG was almost completed within 5 minutes while that of GAC continued for 7 days because the majority of pores of EG was consisted with meso- and macro-pores. According to the Langmuir isotherm analysis, the maximum specific adsorption of p-Xylene onto EG was 24.0 mg/L with the adsorption constant of 7.94. In conclusion, the adsorption capacity of EG was much less than that of GAC due to the significantly lower specific surface area, but the first order kinetic constant was more than 500 times larger than GAC. Overall, EG might be effective where the fast adsorption is required.

The adsorption and desorption of herbicides such as napropamide and pendimethalin was studied in three kinds of soil. sandy loam. silty clay and loam. The results of batch tests performed with various shaking time, pH, organic matter content and temperature in soil were summarized as follows. The shaking times reached to the equilibrium of the adsorption and desorption for napropamide and pendimethalin in soil were 12 and 6 hours. respectively. For each soil. the adsorption rates of napropamide were 23.35%. 31.57% and 25.95%, the desorption rates of them were 18.42%, 13.42% and 15.89%, respectively. And the adsorption rates of pendimethalin were 59.61%, 77.26% and 64.02%, and the desorption rates of them were 3.23%, 2.93% and 3.07%, respectively. The adsorption isotherms with the Freundlich equation showed better consistency than those with the Langmuir one. The adsorption was affected by the organic matter content when it exceed 2.0%. But if the organic matter content is below 2.0%, it was affected by the clay content. When the organic matter content is 0.95~7.45%, the adsorption coefficients ($K_{fa}$) of napropamide and pendimethalin were 1.17~2.50 and 4.74~16.08 and the desorption coefficients($K_{fd}$) of them were 5.33~34.06 and 24.25~134.00, respectively. Because of the physical adsorption between herbicide molecules and soil surface, little effect of pH variation of soils was appeared for the adsorption and desorption. Because of the solubility of herbicide is related to the temperature, the adsorption rate was decreased and the desorption rate was increased with the temperature increase, respectively.

여러 가지 흡착제를 사용한 회분식 흡착성능 측정 실험에서 흡착성능은 음이온교환수지 > 입상활성탄 > Biomass > 분말활성탄 > 제올라이트 순으로 나타났으며, 모든 흡착제는 30분 안에 흡착평형 상태에 도달 하였다. 음이온교환수지를 이용한 회분식 흡착실험에서 최대흡착량은 pH 10에서 0.0483 mmol/g로 가장 높았고, 대체적으로 pH가 높은 범위에서 흡착이 잘 되는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이것은 산화물 상태의 셀레늄이 pH 6 이하의 영역에서는 HSeO$_3^{-}$가 존재하며, PH 6$\sim$10 영역에서는 HSeO$_3^{-}$와 SeO$_3^{-2}$가 공존하며, pH 10 이상에서는 SeO$_3^{-2}$만 존재함을 알 수 있는데, 실험에서도 유사한 결과가 나온 것으로 사료된다. 입상활성탄을 이용한 흡착실험에서 최대흡착량은 pH 4.5에서 0.0574 mmol/g으로 가장 높았다. pH 4.5$\sim$6.5 범위에서는 대체적으로 비슷한 성능을 나타내었다. 입상활성탄의 표면전위 특성상 음이온으로 존재하는 셀레늄과 정전기적 반발력으로 인해 흡착이 거의 일어나지 않는 것으로 보이지만, 음이온 상태로 존재하는 셀레늄 이외의 금속간 화합물이나 물리적인 결합상태의 미세입자들이 흡착된 것으로 보인다.

동일한 추출제가 함유된 3종의 추출레진을 대상으로 중희토류인 Gd의 추출특성을 비교하였다. 실험조건은 $20^{\circ}C$에서 평형 pH, Gd 농도, 추출시간으로 하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 추출레진에서 추출시간 5분이내에 $Gd^{3+}$ 이온이 90%이상 추출되며, 추출시간 30분 이후에 변화가 거의 없어 추출반응이 종결된 것으로 판단된다. 평형 pH. 2.2이하에서 분배비는 평형 pH에 대해 선형적으로 감소하였다.

일반적으로 흡착분리공정 기술개발은 대략 3단계의 과정을 거치게 되는데 흡착제의 선정, 흡착탑의 거동해석, 연속공정 구성 및 운전으로 이루어진다. 이중 흡착제의 선정은 대상 혼합물에 어떤 흡착제를 사용하여 효율적인 분리 결과를 얻을 수 있는가를 결정하는 기초단계이면서도 가장 중요한 과정이다. 이를 위해 여러 흡착제에 대한 흡착평형량과 이로부터 얻어지는 선택도, 흡착열, 그리고 흡착질과 흡착제 사이의 물질전달저항과 흡착제의 기공 분포도, 기공부피, 기공율, 비표면적, 충전 밀도(Bulk Density), 파쇄 강도 및 마모저항 등과 같은 물리적 특성을 종합적으로 비교 검토하여 흡착제를 선택하여야 한다.

Characteristics of adsorption equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic of aniline blue onto activated carbon from aqueous solution were investigated as function of initial concentration, contact time and temperature. Adsorption isotherm of aniline blue was analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich-Peterson, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich models. Langmuir isotherm model fit better with isothermal data than other isotherm models. Estmated Langmuir separation factors ($R_L=0.036{\sim}0.068$) indicated that adsorption process of aniline blue by activated carbon could be an effective treatment method. Adsorption kinetic data were fitted to pseudo first order model, pseudo second order model and intraparticle diffusion models. The kinetic results showed that the adsorption of aniline blue onto activated carbon well followed pseudo second-order model. Adsorption mechanism was evaluated in two steps, film diffusion and intraparticle diffusion, by intraparticle diffusion model. Thermodynamic parameters such as Gibbs free energy, enthalpy and entropy for adsorption process were estimated. Enthalpy change (48.49 kJ/mol) indicated that this adsorption process was physical adsorption and endothermic. Since Gibbs free energy decreased with increasing temperature, the adsorption reaction became more spontaneously with increasing temperature. The isosteric heat of adsorption indicated that there is interaction between the adsorbent and the adsorbate because the energy heterogeneity of the adsorbent surface.

Adsorption equilibrium and intraparticle diffusion characteristics of benzene, toluene, and xylene vapors on activated carbon and zeolite 13X were investigated. Static adsorption experiments were carried out under the pressure range of 0.01~0.07 bar while changing the adsorption temperature to 293.15 K, 303.15 K, and 313.15 K, respectively. Adsorption equilibrium was analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich and Toth models. The adsorption energy was 5.26~31.0 kJ/mol representing physical adsorption characteristics. The maximum adsorption capacity on activated carbon was the largest for benzene, and the smallest for xylene. Toluene was in between. In the case of zeolite 13X, the maximum adsorption capacity was the largest for xylene, and the smallest for benzene as opposed to activated carbon. The effective diffusion coefficients of gas adsorbate were measured to be about $10^{-5}{\sim}10^{-4}cm^2/s$, and increased with temperature. As the pressure increased, the effective diffusion coefficients were decreased. The dependence of effective diffusion coefficients on temperature and pressure was greater in zeolite 13X particles than in activated carbon. Therefore, it is necessary to express the diffusion coefficients as a function of pressure in order to predict the precise dynamic behavior of the adsorption process using zeolite 13X where the pressure fluctuation occurs abruptly.

The contamination of the environment by heavy metals results in a serious public health problem due to the toxicity of those pollutants even at low concentrations. Microorganisms may be used to remediate wastewaters contamlialtd with heavy metals. The waste S. cerevisiae is an inexpensive readily available source of biomass for bioremediation of wastewater. S. cerevisiae was investigated for their ability to absorb Pb. The crushed biomass of S. cerevisiae exhibited higher Pb uptake capacity than the living S. cerevisiae and the sterilized S. cerevisiae. At the same metal concentration, metal uptake per unit concentration or adsorbent decreased when the biomass concentration rises. The order of the biosorption capacity of the living S. cerevisiae was Pb>Cu>Cd=Co>Cr. When S. cerevisiae was pretreated with 0.1 M NaOH, Pb uptake was increased by 150 percent and 0.1 M HC1, 0.1 M $H_2S_O4$ solutions were efficient in the desorption of Pb. The sorption equilibrium of Pb ions can be described by the Freundlich and Langmuir models.

Aminated PONF-9-GMA ion exchange fabrics were synthesized by radiation induced graft copolymerization. Hybrid ion exchange fabrics combined with aminated PONF-g-GMA fabrics and anionic ion exchange resin were also fabricated by hot melt adhesion method and then their adsorption properties were investigated. Ion exchange capacity of the hybrid ion exchange fabrics was higher than ion exchange fabric and was lower than bead resin. The maximum value was 4.18 meq/g. Adsorption breakthrough time for vanadium of the hybrid ion exchange fabric was 550 min, which was faster than bead resin but slower than fibrous ion exchanger. The Breakthrough time of the hybrid ion exchange fabrics gets longer with increasing pH. The initial breakthrough time occurred around 400 min with increasing vanadium concentration.
