Charcoal $tube/CS_2$ method are more popularly used than any other in the measurement of the working environment for the exposure evaluation of organic solvent, but it is some weak points that the lower accuracy can be obtained on the polar materials and within the range of the low concentration. Thus solvent desorption method has been developed to make accuracy higher and to overcome some weak points. However, because of high price of adsorption tube for thermal desorption and the short of study on its application to the working environment, it is not popularly used in the domestic industrial hygiene fields. This dissertation aims to develop thermal desorption and adsorption tubes for measuring organic solvents in the working environment, by comparing and analyzing breakthrough condition and adsorption capacity with ACF. Specific surface area of ACF used in this study is wider than the one of AC and micropore of ACF related with adsorption has been developed, and adsorption velocity and adsorption amount are very excellent by linking a pore of surface and an inside well into micropore. 1. Result of analysis on physical characteristics of adsorbent, the specific surface area of ACF was 1.3 times higher than that of AC. Distribution ratio of micropore related to adsorption was 94% on ACF and AC. Result of SEM, micropore of the AC is opened to the surface. In contrast, ACF shows that extremely fast adsorption speed. Because of micropore are exposed on the surface and penetrate through each other. 2. Breakthrough characteristics of adsorbents was not different from slop of breakthrough curve. The effluent concentration reaches 10% of initial concentration($C_{out}/C_{in}=0.1$, break point) of ACF was 30~316min longer than that of AC. Therefore, the adsorption capacities of ACF was 1.1~4.6 times higher than that of AC. ACF can be used as a proper adsorbent for measurement of organic solvent.

A technique to measure the adsorption characteristic of surface area and pore size distribution is proposed and its performance is examined. While the existing equipment utilizes liquid nitrogen, the proposed uses carbon dioxide at the room temperature leading to the small measuring device with easy operation and short measurement time. The performance of the device has been examined with micro-particle carbon cryogel and bamboo activated carbon. The results from the proposed device compared with those of the adsorption apparatus indicate that the measurement of meso-porous material is comparable but micro-porous material gives some error.

A technique to measure the adsorption characteristic of surface area and pore size of a ceramic thin film is proposed, and its performance is examine. The thin film is fabricated directly on the resonator surface to measure the adsorption capacity of the film as it is, and using carbon dioxide makes the measurement easy. The results indicates that the measured surface area is satisfactory, while the pore size has some error. It is suggested that readily available carbon dioxide can be used to determine adsorption capacity of thin film at room temperature.

Isosteric heat of hydrogen adsorption is one of the most important parameters required to describe solid-state hydrogen storage systems. Typically, it is calculated from adsorption isotherms measured at 77K (liquid N2) and 87K (liquid Ar). This simple calculation, however, results in a high degree of uncertainty due to the small temperature range. Therefore, the original Sievert type setup is upgraded using a heating and cooling device to regulate the wide sample temperature. This upgraded setup allows a wide temperature range for isotherms (77K ~ 117K) providing a minimized uncertainty (error) of measurement for adsorption enthalpy calculation and yielding reliable results. To this end, we measure the isosteric heats of hydrogen adsorption of two prototypical samples: activated carbon and metal-organic frameworks (e.g. MIL-53), and compared the small temperature range (77~87K) to the wide one (77K ~ 117K).

Studies of adsorption isotherms with sharp step-wise layer condensation help us to better understanding of two dimensional layers. For this, an adsorption isotherm apparatus, using a phase modulated ellipsometric technique, has been constructed and an adsorption experiment has been performed. With subatomic scale resolution(∼0.3 $\AA$), the adsorption processes could be observed by ellipsometric signals. On measurement of multilayer adsorption of argon on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite(HOPG), thousands of adsorbed layers were observed at 34.04 K, which suggests that the adsorption is completely wet. On the contrary nine sharp layers of steps for adsorptions and desorptions were observed at 67.05 K. These isotherms obtained can provide a lot of information about thermodynamic states, bonding energies between adsobate and substrate, and structure transitions in the adsorbed film.

A new approach for the measurement of the surface coverages of monomolecular films fabricated by spontaneous adsorption of thiol compounds on gold is described. It is based on the mass change measurement with EQCM for the reductive electrochemical desorption of thiol in aqueous KOH solution. The results were compared with that of charge calculation during electrochemical desorption. The surface coverage value for eicosanethiol agrees with that obtained by charge calculation of electrochemical reduction as well as that expected from a geometrical model of the compact monolayer.

New method and device for the on-line measurement of soot concentration in a diesel engine oil are proposed, where the measurement principle is based mainly on attenuated internal total reflection. The detector were evaluated in various ranges of contaminated oils by carbon black particles. It was found that the proposed detector could be well used to monitor the oil deterioration due to soot contamination. Operational range of the detector was found from 0 to 5 mass percentage of soot content. Test results with water and fuel dilution showed that these effects were not remarkable. However, adsorption of carbon black particles onto the measurement surface was considered to be a critical problem of the detector. Effects of particle deposition on the interface was experimentally evaluated with the oil temperature and flow turbulence and discussed throughout this work.

In this study, a magnetic adsorbent was synthesized by growing ferrite nanoparticles substituted with metals (Me = Co, Mn, Ni) on zeolite 4A for the efficient separation of waste adsorbents present in the solution after the adsorption of Cu(II). The metal ferrite grown on the surface of zeolite was prepared by solvothermal synthesis. Characteristics of the magnetic adsorbent were analyzed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and physical property measurement system (PPMS). The saturation magnetization of the A type zeolite coated with Co-ferrite (CFZC) was the highest at 5 emu/g and the Cu(II) adsorption performance was also excellent. The adsorption results of Cu(II) on CFZC were well fitted by the Langmuir model at 298 K. Also, the adsorption of Cu(II) on CFZC follows a pseudo-second order kinetic. The Gibbs free energy values (${\Delta}G^0$) ranging from -4.63 to -5.21 kJ/mol indicates that the Cu(II) adsorption is spontaneous in the temeprature range between 298 and 313 K.

Removal of Cu(II), Cr(III) and Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions using the adsorption process on the loesses has been investigated. Variations of contact time, pH, adsorption isotherms and selectivity of coexisting ions were experimental parameters. pH of KJ and YIK samples diluted to 1% solution, was rearly the same with each value of pH 5.58 and 5.49, and both samples showed weak acidic properties. From chemical analysis, both samples contain remarkably different amounts of ${SiO}_{2}$, ${Al}_{2}O_{3}$ and ${Fe}_{2}O_{3}$. From XRD measurement, quartz was mainly observed in both samples. Kaolinite was also observed, also in both samples, but Feldspar was only observed in KJ sample. Adsorption of metal ions on the loesses were reached at equilibrium by shaking for about 30min. The adsorption of Cr(III) ion was higher than that of Cu(II) oand Pb(II) ions. The order of amount adsorbed among the investigated ions was Cr(III)>Pb(II)>Cu(II). In acidic solution, the adsorptivity of loesses was increased as pH increased. The adsorption of Cr(III) ion on the loesses were fitted to the Freundlich isotherms. Freundlich constants(1/n) of KJ and YIK loesses were 0.54 and 0.55, respectively.
