The influence of carbon surface area, carbon-oxygen groups associated with the carbon surface and the solution pH on the adsorption of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions has been studied using three activated carbons. The adsorption isotherms are Type I of BET classification and the data obeys Langmuir adsorption equation. The BET surface area has little effect on the adsorption while it is strongly influenced by the presence of acidic carbon oxygen surface groups. The amount of these surface groups was enhanced by oxidation of the carbons with different oxidizing agents and reduced by eliminating these groups on degassing at different temperatures. The adsorption of Pb(II) ions increases on each oxidation and decreases on degassing the oxidized carbons. The increase in adsorption on oxidation has been attributed to the formation of acidic carbon-oxygen surface groups and the decrease to the elimination of these acidic surface groups on degassing. The adsorption is also influenced by the pH of the aqueous solution. The adsorption is only small at pH values lower than 3 but is considerably larger at higher pH values. Suitable mechanisms consistent with the adsorption data have been suggested.

Mesoporous silica was prepared from hydrothermal synthesis using gel mixture of tetraethylorthosilcate (TEOS) as silica source and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMABr) as a surfactant. In the optimum synthesis cause, molar ratio of template and silica changed. The surface and structure properties of mesoporous silica were determined by XRD, SEM, TEM and BET. Also, surface potential of mesoporous silica was measured using zeta potential. $N_2$ adsorption isotherm characteristics, including the specific surface area ($S_{BET}$), total pore volume $V_T$), and average pore diameter ($D_{BJH}$), were determined by BET. As a result, SBET of $100m^2/g{\sim}1500m^2/g$ was determined from the $N_2$ adsorption isotherm. Also, the average pore diameter was 2 nm∼4 nm. Mesoporous silica's surface potential of minus charge was determined from zeta potential.

연속식 흡착장치를 사용하여 활성탄의 세공구조와 아세톤 중기의 흡착특성과의 상관관계를 고찰하였다. 실험에서 비교한 활성탄 중 젠체 세공구조에서 직경 $10{\AA}$ 이하의 세공이 가장 많이 발달한 Takeda의 ACT 활성탄이 가장 긴 파과시간을 가지고 있었다. 평형흡착량은 파과시간에는 비례했지만, BET 비표면적에는 비례한다고 볼 수 없었기 때문에 BET 비표면적 만으로 흡착능을 평가하는 것은 어려웠다. 누적표면적과 평형흡착량과의 상관관계는 $10{\AA}$ 이하에서 가장 컸고, 세공범위가 클수록 감소했다.

The synthesis and reactivities of molybdenum carbide crystallites were examined in this study. Especially, the effect of synthesis conditions were scrutinized on the preparation of molybdenum carbide crystallites. In order to perform this purpose, various characterization techniques such as BET surface area and oxygen uptake measurements were employed for the synthesized molybdenum carbide crystallites. First of all, the molybdenum carbide crystallites were synthesized using molybdenum oxide crystallites and methane gas or methane-hydrogen mixture. The experimental results showed that BET surface areas ranged from $7.4m^2/g$ to $31m^2/g$ and oxygen uptake values varied from $8.1{\mu}mol/g$ to $24.3{\mu}mol/g$. The Mo compounds were found to be active for ammonia decomposition reaction. Even though there are some molybdenum carbide crystallites that were exceeded by Pt/$Al_2O_3$ crystallite, the steady state reactivities for other molybdenum carbide crystallites were comparable to or even higher than that determined for the Pt/$Al_2O_3$ crystallite. These results implied that molybdenum carbide crystallites could be one of the promising crystallites that might be substitutes for Pt-like noble metal crystallites in the petroleum processes.

본 연구에서는 실리카 원으로 tetraethylorthosilcate(TEOS)를 이용하고, template로 cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTMABr)을 사용하여 메조포러스 실리카(mesoporous silica)를 수열합성 하였다. 최적의 합성 조건을 알기 위해 template와 실리카의 몰비를 조절하였다. 메조포러스 실리카의 표면 성질과 구조는 XRD, SEM 그리고 BET를 이용하여 살펴보았다. 비표면적($S_{BET}$), 전체 기공부피(V$_T$), 그리고 평균 기공지름(D$_{BJH}$)을 포함하는 N$_2$ 등온 흡착 특성은 BET식을 이용하여 확인하였다. 또한, 메조포러스 실리카의 Pb(II)와 Cd(II)의 흡착 특성은 Zeta potential과 ICP를 이용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과, N$_2$ 등온 흡착으로부터 S$_{BET}$는 100$\sim$1,500 m$^2$/g이었으며, 평균 기공 크기는 2$\sim$4 nm이었다. 메조포러스 실리카의 Pb이온과 Cd이온의 흡착 특성은 용액의 pH변화에 의존하였고, 기존의 흡착제인 실리카겔보다 더 좋은 흡착 거동을 보였다.

Silicate mineral serpentine with magnesium and calcium was selected as a mineral carbonation mediators for carbon dioxide storage. Serpentine has various metallic elements as an oxides form of magnesium, iron, calcium, aluminium etc. Magnesium and calcium could be carbonation salt preferentially than other metal component within serpentine. Systemic thermochemical treatment for serpentine could change physicochemical properties like a surface area and pore dimensions. Due to the rapid chemical reaction rate depended on dimensional values, carbonation formation could determined by surface property change of thermochemical treated serpentine.

은 침착된 활성탄의 표면 구조와 세공의 크기 분포등에 대하여 연구하였다. 침착물은 내부 표면에는 영향을 주지 않고 외부 표면에만 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 흡착 등온선은 침착되지 않은 활성탄이나 침착된 활성탄 모두 전형적인 BET 분류 type-I 임을 확인하였으며, 침착물 양이 증가할수록 흡착량이 감소하며 window blocking 현상이 나타남을 확인하였다. 침착물 양이 증가할수록 비 표면적 값은 감소하였으며, 미세세공 부피도 감소하였다. 은 침착된 활성탄의 평균 미세세공 반경은 침착물 양과는 무관하게 일정하였다.

Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) are promising candidates for energy storage devices in electronic applications. An EDLC yields high power density but has low specific capacitance. Carbon material is used in EDLCs owing to its large specific surface area, large pore volume, and good mechanical stability. Consequently, the use of carbon materials for EDLC electrodes has attracted considerable research interest. In this paper, in order to evaluate the electrochemical performance, graphene is used as an EDLC electrode with flake sizes of 3, 12, and 60 nm. The surface characteristic and electrochemical properties of graphene were investigated using SEM, BET, and cyclic voltammetry. The specific capacitance of the graphene based EDLC was measured in a 1 M $TEABF_4/ACN$ electrolyte at the scan rates of 2, 10, and 50 mV/s. The 3 nm graphene electrode had the highest specific capacitance (68.9 F/g) compared to other samples. This result was attributed to graphene's large surface area and meso-pore volume. Therefore, large surface area and meso-pore volume effectively enhances the specific capacitance of EDLCs.

The porosity of polyester fibers treated with sodium hydroxide aqueous solution was investigated using a nitrogen porosimeter, and the dyeability of the treated fibers was discussed in terms of the porosity. In pore distribution, the polyester fibers treated with sodium hydroxide aqueous solution were characterized by higher amount of pores below $10\AA$ than those of the untreated fibers, and by shift of the pore size having maximum accumulated volume from $10\AA$ for the untreated fibers to $5~6\AA$. As the weight loss of the polyester fibers treated with sodium hydroxide aqueous solution increased, BET surface area and total pore volume increased linearly, but average pore size, showing some different aspect, increased steeply at earlier stage and then approached the maximum value. The dye uptakes of the polyester fibers treated with sodium hydroxide aqueous solution increased with the BET surface area, the total pore volume and the average pore size. The alkali treatment increased the surface area of polyester fibers, so that the chance of contact between the fiber and dye molecules increased. In addition, the pores created on the surface of polyester fibers by alkali treatment might act as pathways for dye molecules into the polyester fibers.
