Rapid gas chromatographic profiling method was applied to saliva from healthy subjects for the analysis of free organic acids. Saliva samples were first saturated with NaHCO$_{3}$ and extracted with diethyl ether. The aqueous phase was solid-phase extracted using Chromosorb P as the adsorbent and diethyl ether as the eluent after the acidification and NaCl saturation, followed by triethylamine treatment. The resulting tiiethylammonium salts of acids were directly converted into stable tert.-butyl-dimethylsflyl derivatives, with subsequent analysis by dual-capiuary column gas chromatography and gas chromatograpy -mass spectrometry. From the ten saliva samples studied, twenty eight free organic acids including various fatty acids, hydroxy acids, dicarboxylic acids, md aromatic acids were tentatively identified. Among the acids identified , the concentration of lactic acid was highest for five saliva samples while $\alpha$-hydroxyisocaproic acid was most abundant for me sample, and succinic acid and glycolic acid for two samples. respectively. When the GC profiles were simplified to the corresponding acid retention index spectra of bar graphical form, they presented characteristic patterns for each individual.

Synthetic resins were combined 1-aza-12-crown-4 macrocyclic ligand with styrene divinylbenzene copolymer having 1%, 2%, 8%, and 16% crosslink by a substitution reaction. These synthetic resins were confirmed by chlorine content, elementary analysis, SEM, surface area, and IR-spectrum. As the results of the effects of pH, crosslink of synthetic resin, and dielectric constant of a solvent on metal ion adsorption for resin adsorbent, the metal ions showed high adsorption at pH 3 or over. Adsorption selectivity for the resin in ethanol solvent was the order of uranium ($UO_2{^{2+}}$) > cobalt ($Co^{2+}$) > dysprosium ($Dy^{3+}$) ion, adsorbability of the metal ion was the crosslink in order of 1%, 2%, 8%, and 16% and it was increased with the lower dielectric constant. In addition, theses metal ions could be separated in the column with 1% crosslink resin by using nitric acid (pH 2.0) as an eluent.

This research was done for possible treatment of impermeable surfaces rainwater runoff containing heavy metal ions by manganese oxide coated on polypropylene support. Manganese oxide was coated by Birnessite Coating Methods(BCM)and the coating analyzed by SEM and FT-IR techniques. The efficiency of heavy metal ions adsorption was also assessed via both batch and column tests. Adsorption efficiencies of Cd, Zn, Cu, and Pb were 99.4%, 98.9%, 96.7%, and over 95.7%, respectively. The adsorption progress pattern reveals quite fast adsorption at initial periods of treatment and change to slower rates at later times.

Ths sorption and desorption properties of four different solid adsorbents were evaluated for the trace enrichment of diphenylhydantoin from biological samples. Graphitized carbon black(GCB) gave the highest adsorption coefficient. And among the organic solvents examined, methanol gave the highest desorption coefficient. Using the GCB column, the optimum elution volume of the eluting solvent was evaluated from the breakthrough curve of diphenylhydantoin. The usefulness of GCB as the solid adsorbent was examined for the solid-phase extraction of diphenylhydantoin from serum in the concentration range of $20-50\;{\mu}g/ml$.

Effects of operating parameters on the breakthrough properties of Pb(II) by $Mn_3O_4$ coated activated carbon prepared by supercritical technique were investigated through fixed-bed column experiments. The mass transfer zone and equilibrium adsorption capacity were enhanced about 2.8 times for Pb(II) by $Mn_3O_4$ coating onto activated carbon. Increase of bed height enhanced the residence time of Pb(II) in adsorption zone, giving the higher breakthrough time, mass transfer zone and equilibrium adsorption capacity. Increase of flow rate reduced the residence time and diffusion of Pb(II) in adsorption zone, therefore decreased the equilibrium adsorption capacity. The higher inlet concentration of Pb(II) decreased the breakthrough time and mass transfer zone through the promotion of Pb(II) transfer onto adsorbent.

A combination of the submerged membrane activated-sludge bioreactor(SMABR) equipped with non-woven fabric filter and oyster-zeolite (OZ) packed-bed adsorption column was studied to evaluate the advanced tertiary treatment of nitrogen and phosphorous. The non-woven filter module was submerged in the MBR and aeration was operated intermittently for an optimal wastewater treatment performance. Artificial wastewater with $COD_{Cr}$ of 220 mg/L, total nitrogen (T-N) of 45 mg/L, and total phosphorous (T-P) of 6 mg/L was used in this study. MLSS was maintained about $4,000\;{\sim}\;5,000\;mg/L$ throughout the experiments. The experiments were performed for 100-day with periodic non-woven filter washing. The results showed that $COD_{Cr}$ could be effectively removed in SMABR alone with over 94% removal efficiency. However, T-N and T-P removal efficiency was slightly lower than expected with SMABR alone. The permeate from SMABR was then passed through the OZ column for tertiary nutrients removal. The final effluent analysis confirmed that nutrients could be additionally removed resulting in over 87% and 46% removal efficiencies for T-N and T-P, respectively. The results of this study suggest that the waste oyster-shell can be effectively reclaimed as an adsorbent in advanced tertiary wastewater treatment processes in combination with SMABR equipped with non-woven fabric filter.

A study on the adsorption characteristics of Pb(II) and Cr(III) cations onto C-methylcalix[4]resorcinarene (CMCR) has been conducted. CMCR was produced by one step synthesis from resorcinol, acetaldehyde, and HCl. Most parameters in batch system confirm that CMCR is a good adsorbent for Pb(II) and Cr(III). Cr(III) uptake was bigger than that of Pb(II), but Cr(III) adsorption rate was slower than Pb(II). The adsorption kinetic of Pb(II) and Cr(III) adsorptions in batch followed pseudo $2^{nd}$ order kinetics model, but the kinetic of Pb(II) adsorption in fixed bed column system followed first order model. Desorption studies to recover the adsorbed Pb(II) was performed sequentially with distilled water and HCl, and the results showed that the adsorption was dominated by chemisorption.

Adsorption experiment of carbon dioxide was performed on MCM41 silica impregnated with two kinds of EDA(ethylenediamine) and MEA(monoethanolamine). The prepared adsorbents were characterized by BET surface area, X-ray diffraction and FT-IR. The $CO_2$ capture study was investigated in a U type packed column with GC/TCD. The results of XRD for MCM-41 and amine-impregnated MCM41 showed typical the hexagonal pore system. BET results showed the MCM 41 impregnated amine to have a surface area of 141 $m^2/g$ to 595 $m^2/g$ and FT-IR revealed a N-H functional group at about 1400$cm^{-1}$ to 1600$cm^{-1}$. The $CO_2$ adsorption capacity on EDA and MEA was as follow: MCM41-EDA30 > MCM41 -EDA40 >MCM41-EDA20 >MCM-EDA10 and MCM41-MEA40 >MCM41-MEA30 > MCM41-MEA20> MCM41-MEA10. The MCM41-EDA30 showed the highest adsorption capacity due to physical adsorption and chemical adsorption by amino-group content. The results suggest that mesoporous media with EDA is effective adsorbent for $CO_2$ capture from flue gases.

Adsorptive breakthrough modelling is essential for design of a sorption packed bed. In this work, breakthrough modelling of the furfural uptake in bagasse fly ash (BFA) packed bed has been performed. Effect of various parameters like bed height (Z = 15-60 cm), flow rate (Q = 0.02-0.04 L/min) and initial furfural concentration (C_o = 50-200 mg/L) on the breakthrough curve of furfural sorption in a BFA packed bed have been studied. Enhanced breakthrough performance was observed for the higher value of Z, and lower values of C_o and Q. For C_o = 100 mg/L, packed bed operated at Q = 0.03 L/min and Z = 60 cm was found to have lowest adsorbent utilization rate of 5.61 g/L with highest breakthrough volume of 14.67 L. Bed depth service time and Thomas models well represented the experimental data points under all experimental conditions. It can be concluded that BFA can be utilized efficiently in continuous system for the removal of furfural. Overall, more than 99% of furfural was adsorbed in BFA packed bed at experimental conditions.
