The wastewater resulted from the process of developing and fuing for x-ray film manufachlring contains a lot of silvercomponent. The average concentation of silver-component is about 1,500 mgA. The wastewater contained silver-component is toxic when it is discharged to the natural ecosystem. So that we must to do pretreatment of wastewater prior to discharge. There are electrolysis. chemical precipitation, and metallic replacement as conventional lreabent proccss of fixer wastewater of x-ray film. Adsorption of silver-component in x-ray fkcr wastewater was carricd out this study. 'Ille manganese dioxide (MDO) reagent and the recovered manganese dioxide (RMDO) from the waste dry-cell were used for adsarbents. Adsorption of silvercomponent was wrried out at the batch and continuous type experimental equipment. The adsorption experiment results were obtained bom silver-component have some diifcrences according to adsorhents. The adsorption results of manganese dioxide reagent (MDO) were better ihan those of waste dry-ccU (RMDO), but the manganese dloxide recovered fmm waste dry-cell (RMDO) will be able la recognized as good adsorbent too.

The adsorption characteristics of quinoline yellow by granular activated carbon were investigated experimently in the batch adsorber and packed column. The adsorptivity of activated carbon for quinoline yellow were largely improved by acidic pH and higher temperature. When the pH was 3 at $60^{\circ}C$, quinoline yellowcould be removed 97 percent of initial concentration(10 mg/L). It was estabilished that the adsorption equilibrium of quinoline yellow on granular activated carbon was successfully fitted by Freundlich isotherm equation in the temperature range from $25^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$. The estimated values of k and ${\beta}$ are 38.71~166.60, 0.380~0.490, respectively. The breakthrough curve of activated carbon-packed column depends on the design variables such as initial concentration, bed height, and flow rate.

Thermodynamic evaluation indicates that nearly 100% conversion of elemental mercury to oxidized mercury can be attained by HCl of several tens of ppm level at the temperature window of SCR reaction. Cu-, Fe-, Mn-chloride loaded $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalysts revealed good NO removal activity at the operating temperature window of SCR process. The catalysts with high desorption temperature indicating adsorption strength of $NH_3$ revealed higher NO removal activity. The HCl fed to the reaction gases promoted the oxidation of mercury. However, the activity for the oxidation of elemental mercury to oxidized mercury by HCl was suppressed by $NH_3$ inhibiting the adsorption of HCl to catalyst surface under SCR reaction condition containing $NH_3$ for NO removal. Metal chloride loaded $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalysts showed much higher activity for mercury oxidation than $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst without metal chloride under SCR reaction condition. This is primarily attributed to the participation of chloride in metal chloride on the catalyst surface promoting the oxidation of elemental mercury.

In this study, mercury was removed by $TiO_2$ using fluorescent light and sunlight, instead of UV lamps. A reactor was specially designed to increase the $TiO_2's$ exposure to the light source and to make the rotational speed constant. The contacting surface area between mercury and adsorbents was increased by packing the adsorption bed with mixture of $TiO_2$ and glass beads. The mercury removal efficiency was more than 99% under all light sources tested in this study. The mercury removal efficiency was more than 99% under the fluorescent light or sunlight which is harmless and cheap or free.

$^{129}I$ is especially one of the most harmful radioactive elements because of its long half-life ($t_{1/2}$=$1.7{\times}10^7$ yr). The efficient removal of iodide ($I^-$) and iodate (${IO_3}^-$) in a aqueous solution by adsorption using activated alumina and activated carbon was studied. The removal efficiency was over 99% for iodide ion with silver treated basic alumina and iodate ion with acidic alumina or silver treated acidic alumina without any chemical addition or physical treatments.

현재까지 개발되고있는 휘발성유기화합물질의 처리기술들로는 소각, 흡착, 산화, 그리고 생물학적 처리 등이 있다. 그러나 이러한 기술은 각기 나름대로의 장점과 단점들, 그리고 적용의 한계성을 가지고 있으며, 아직도 많은 극복해야될 문제점을 가지고 있어서 여전히 연구개발 진행중에 있다. 지금까지 대형 배출원에서 일부 응용되고 있거나 처리시설로 가장 활발히 검토되고 있는 제어기술은 활성탄 흡착을 이용한 흡착처리기술이다. 그러나 실제로 흡착을 이용하여 휘발성유기화합물을 처리하고 있는 많은 업체에서 흡착시설 또는 흡착탑을 효율적으로 이용하지 못하고 있다.

악취가스제거용으로 흔히 파쇄상 활성탄소를 사용하고 있는데 조립상 침착 활성탄소를 사용하면 경도가 높고 입도가 균일하여 흡착탑 내에서 일정한 가스 유속분포를 얻을 수 있고 Life Time을 연장할 수 있기 때문에 여러 장점이 있다. 일반 활성탄소의 표면은 비극성이며 흡착력이 본질적으로 단순히 반델발스 힘에 의한 물리흡착이기 때문에 황화수소나 $NH_3$ 등 비점이 낮은 성분에 대해서는 충분한 흡착성을 갖지 못한다. (중략)

In this study, we are trying to verify humidity control capability of the exhibition environment of cultural property by measuring adsorption and desorption performance, the control ability of harmful substances by the adsorption experiments of harmful gases. In the experiment of adsorption and desorption performance, in the low humidity area, Artsorb desorbed overwhelmingly more than activated carbon whereas activated carbon absorbed more. Adsorption speed was faster slightly in Artsorb absorption speed was similar in both. In the middle humidity area, absorption by artsorb was slightly more and desorption was similar in both so characteristic of Artsorb didn't appear. Also, Adsorption speed was faster in activated carbon but in the process of desorption, the speed of Artsorb was faster. In adsorption experiment of harmful substances, the concentration in the environment with activated carbon was lower than one with Artsorb, but the difference appeared small. And as a result of observation of the difference in concentration due to adsorption of harmful gas by the change in the metal specimen, the most change was shown in lead specimen and the color difference between the lead specimens of the activated carbon and Artsorb appeared greatly.

This study was carried out to evaluate the possibility of Chromium removal by 3 different kinds of adsorbents, where activated carbon(AC), carbon nanotube(CNT) and layered double hydroxides(LDHs) were employed. The highest surface area was shown in AC and pore volume was in CNT which were $1028.1m^2{\cdot}g^{-1}$ and $0.829cm^2{\cdot}g^{-1}$, respectively. AC and CNT are composed of more than 99% carbon. AC has shown the possibility of chromium removal more than 80.2% under the acidic pH condition.

To develop an effective adsorbent for radio active Carbon Dioxide, $^14CO_2$, which is discharged to nearby atmosphere from nuclear power plants of CANDU type, we made some preliminary adsorbents and tested their abilities of $CO_2$ removal. The chemical agents used was LiOH and we supported or impregnated it on the surface or the internal volume of activated Carbon(GW-H). The physical and chemical properties of various adsorbents were measured using methods such as XRD, BET. SEM images were taken to investigate the change of surface morphology of the adsorbents. Finally, amount of $CO_2$ adsorption of them were verified under specific conditions. We found that mechanical mixing of LiOH and activated Carbon showed the maximum $CO_2$ removal ability, while surface activation of activated Carbon by Nitric Acid-treatment enhanced its $CO_2$ removal efficiency to some degree.
