The feasibility of producing sulfuric acid and ammonia water from ammonium sulfate was investigated by an integrated process including ammonia stripping (AS) and electrodialysis with bipolar membrane (EDBM). It was suggested that the production of sulfuric acid using ammonia stripping-electrodialysis with bipolar membrane (ASEDBM) was effective in obtaining high concentration of sulfuric acid compared with EDBM alone. AS was carried out over pH 11 and within the range of temperatures, $20^{\circ}C{\~}60^{\circ}C$. Sodium sulfate obtained using AS was used as the feed solution of EDBM. The recovery of ammonia increased from $40\%$ to $80\%$ at $60^{\circ}C$ due to the increased mobility of ammonium ion. A pilot-scale EDBM system, which is composed of two compartments and 10 cell pairs with an effective membrane area of $200 cm^2$ per cell, was used for the recovery of sulfuric acid. The performance was examined in the range of 0.1 M${\~}$1.0 M concentration of concentrate compartment and of $25 mA/cm^2{\~}62.5 mA/cm^2$ of current density. The maximum current efficiency of $64.9\%$ was obtained at 0.1 M sulfuric acid because the diffusion rate at the anion exchange membrane decreased as the sulfuric acid of the concentrate compartment decreased. It was possible to obtain the 2.5 M of sulfuric acid in the $62.5 mA/cm^2$ with a power consumption of 13.0 kWh/ton, while the concentration of sulfuric acid was proportional to the current density below the limiting current density (LCD). Thus, the integrating process of AS-EDBM enables to recover sulfuric acid from the wastewaters containing ammonium sulfate.

An application of synergistic solvent extraction for the etermination of trace lithium in sea water has been studied by forming an adduct complex of thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTA) and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) in a solvent. The interference by major constituents in sea water was eliminated by phosphate precipitation. Ex-perimental conditions such as solution pH, concentrations of TTA and TOPO etc. were optimized in synthetic sea water with similar compositionto its natural counterpart. To eliminate the interference, 1.38g of ammoni-um dihydrogen phosphate and 2.5 mL of ammonia water were added into 100 mL of thediluted solution at $60^{\circ}C$ to form the phosphate precipitates of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. After the pH of this filtrate was adjusted to 8.0, 10.0 mL of m-xylene containing 0.1 M TTA and 0.05 M TOPO was added to the solution in a separatory funnel, and the solution was shaken vigorously for 20 minutes. The solvent was separated from the aqueous solution, and 20 uL of m-xylene solution was injected into a gaphite tube to measure the absorbance by GF-AAS. The detection limit was 0.42 ng/mL. Lithium was determined within the range of 146 to 221 ng/mLin Korean coast-al sea waters, and the recoveries in the spiked samples were 94 to 106%.

A newly isolated heterotrophic marine bacterium, Vibrio alginolyticus, was used to remove a high load of ammonia gas under non-sterile condition. The cells were inoculated onto an inorganic packing material in a fixed-bed reactor (biofilter), and a high load of ammonia, in the range of ammonia gas concentration of 170 ppm to 880 ppm, was introduced continuously. Sucrose solution and 3% NaCl was supplied intermittently to supplement the carbon source and water to the biofilter. The average percentage of gas removed exceeded 85% for 107-day operation. The maximum removal capacity and the complete removal capacity were$19\;g-N\;kg^{-1}$ dry packing material $day^{-1}$ and $16\;g-N\;kg^{-1}$ dry packing material $day^{-1}$, respectively, which were about three times greater than those obtained in nitrifying sludge inoculated onto the same packing material. On day 82, the enhanced pressure drop was restored to the normal one by NaOH treatment, and efficient removal characteristics were later observed. During this operation, the non-sterile condition had no significantly adverse effect on the removability of ammonia by V. alginolyticus.

암모니아수를 이용한 이산화탄소 흡수분리공정에서 흡수액의 재생조건(온도, 압력)이 이산화탄소 흡수성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 실험에 사용된 흡수액은 탄산암모늄($(NH_4)_2CO_3$)을 물에 용해시키어 $CO_2$ 로딩($mol\;CO_2/mol\;NH_3$)이 0.5, 용액 내의 암모니아수 농도가 14, 20, 26 및 32 wt%로 되도록 제조하였고, 이산화탄소의 흡수에 앞서 재생압력(6~18 bar)을 조절하면서 $120{\sim}160^{\circ}C$의 온도범위로 제조된 흡수액을 가열하여 재생하였다. 재생된 흡수액을 기포 반응기에 넣고 12 vol%의 $CO_2$를 함유한 기체를 주입하여 흡수반응을 수행하였다. 실험결과 26 wt%의 암모니아수가 대체적으로 $CO_2$ 흡수량이 높았으며, 특히 재생온도가 $150^{\circ}C$, 재생압력이 14 bar일 때의 $CO_2$ 흡수량은 본 연구의 실험조건에서 $45ml\;CO_2/g$ solution으로 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 적정을 통해 재생된 용액을 분석한 결과 재생압력이 높아질수록 암모니아 손실량은 감소하고, 재생온도가 높아질수록 암모니아 손실량이 증가하였다. 또한 암모니아 농도증가에 따라 암모니아 손실량이 비례적으로 증가하였다. Electrolyte NRTL 모델을 사용하여 Aspen Plus에 적용한 결과 실험 데이터와 거의 일치함을 보였다.

$La(OH)_3$ 공침에 의한 극미량 인산이온의 부선 및 농축에 관한 연구를 가시/자외선 분광광도법을 이용하여 수행하였다. 암모니아용액으로 조절한 pH 9.5의 1.0L 시료용액 중 인산 이온을 수산화란탄 침전에 공침시켰다. 1:8의 sodium oleate와 sodium dodecyl sulfate 혼합 계면활성제를 가하고 질소기체를 bubbling하여 침전들을 용액 표면으로 띄웠다. 뜬 침전들을 감압 플라스크에 모은 다음 용액을 걸러 버리고 침전을 묽은 암보니아용액으로 씻고 황산에 녹였다. 몰리브덴 청색법으로 농축된 용액 중 인산이온을 정량하였다. 이상의 방법으로 수도물과 강물 중 인산이온을 분석하였고 각 시료에 인산이온을 20.0ng/mL 가하여 분석한 결과 각각 93%와 86%의 회수율을 얻었다.

본 연구에서는 수중 악취의 원인 물질인 용존 암모니아를 제거하기 위해 분말형태의 활성탄을 사용하였다. 특히, 일반적인 분말활성탄은 암모니아 흡착능이 좋지 않기 때문에 흡착능을 높이기 위해 분말활성탄의 표면을 산 용액으로 함침시킨 산 첨착활성탄을 제조하였다. 이렇게 제조한 산 첨착활성탄을 섬유 재질로 된 다공성 지지막($10{\sim}50{\mu}m$)의 표면에 압력에 의한 분리 활성 여과 층을 형성시켜 흡착과 분리를 동시에 할 수 있는 혼합 공정을 구성하였다. 그 결과 혼합공정에서 암모니아 제거율이 60% 이상 되어, 일반 분말활성탄에 비해 10~15% 더 높은 흡착능을 보였다. 그리고 층이 형성된 동적막의 순수투과성능 실험을 보면 수투과도는 400~700 LMH로 정밀여과(Microfiltration)막 수준의 역할을 한다. 이는 수처리에서 기존의 분리막 공정보다 고효율적인 처리 유량을 유지하는 효과가 기대된다.

The objectives of this paper are to analyze simultaneous heat and mass transfer performance for a plate type bubble absorber with binary nanofluids numerically and to investigate the effects of binary nanofluids and surfactants on the size of the bubble absorber. The effective absorption ratio represents the effect of binary nanofluids and surfactants on the absorption performance. The kinds and concentrations of nano-particles and surfactants are considered as the key parameters. The results show that the addition of surfactants can reduce the size of absorber up to 74.4%, the application of binary nanofluids does the size up to 63.6%. Combination of binary nanofluids and surfactants can reduce the size of absorber up to 77.4%.

Chelated titanium alkoxides are hydrolysed showly and stable enough to prepare multicomponent gels of titania without its precipitation due to the fast hydrolysis of Ti alkoxide. The alkoxy groups of chelated titanium alkoxide are hydrolysed as fast as that of titanium alkoxide but the chelating groups are stable even in aqueous solution. The chelating groups showed different rates of hydrolysis in aqueous ammonia solution and water added one. Those rates were monitored with UV-VIS spectrophotometer by using their unique absorption bands before and after hydrolysis.

Lysine produced during microbial fermentation is usually recovered by an ion-exchange process, in which lysine is first converted to the cationic form (by lowering the pH to less than 2.0 with sulfuric acid) and then fed to a cationexchange column containing an exchanger that has a sulfone group with a weak counterion such as NH;. Ammonia water with a pH above 11 is then supplied to the column to displace the purified lysine from the column and allow its recovery. To enhance the adsorption capacity and for a possible reduction in chemical consumption, monovalent lysine fed at pH 4 was investigated in comparison with conventional divalent lysine fed at pH 1.5. The adsorption capacity increased by more than 70% on a mass basis using pH 4 feeding compared with pH 1.5 feeding. Lysine adsorbed at pH 4 started to elute earlier than that adsorbed at pH 1.5 when ammonia water was used as the eluant solution, and the extent of early elution became more notable at lower concentrations of ammonia. Moreover, the elution of monovalent lysine fed at pH 4 displayed a stiffer front boundary and higher peak concentration. However, when the ammonium concentration was greater than 2.0 N, complete saturation of the bed was delayed during adsorption and the percent recovery yield from elution was lowered., both drawbacks that were considered inevitable features originating from the increased adsorption of monovalent lysine.
