본 연구는 흡착 능이 서로 다른 두 가지 활성탄을 혼합하여 최적의 흡착 능을 발휘코자 혼합할 때 그들의 최적혼합비를 구하는 방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 활성탄의 세공특성과 흡착 능은 BET-분석에 의해 얻어지는 흡착등온곡선으로 판별하며 이는 역시 흡착필터설계의 기본적 정보를 제공한다. 따라서 고도의 BET-model의 흡착 능을 보이는 석탄 계활성탄과 낮은 Langmuir-model을 보이는 야자각계 활성탄의 혼합하는 extreme case와, 고, 저 비표면적을 가진 두 가지 활성탄을 혼합하는 middle case 및 전, 후 case의 상호 교차 배합하는 cross case 등, 3가지 시험을 수행했으며, 이를 위해 시판 품 외에 국내 한 공인 연구소가 연구용시료로서 제공한 고비표면적의 두 가지 활성탄에도 적용하여 본 방법의 타당성을 확인하였다.

In this study, the removal of Ciprofloxacin (CPX) from aqueous solutions was investigated by a new activated carbon adsorbent prepared from orange peel (ACOP) with chemical activation using ZnCl₂. The physicochemical properties of orange peel activated carbon were characterized by proximate and ultimate analysis, scanning electron microscopy, BET surface area determination and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopic studies. According to Brunauer-Emmett-Teller isotherm and non-local-density functional theory, the cumulative surface area, pore volume and pore size of ACOP were determined as 1193 m² g^-1, 0.83 cc g^-1 and 12.7 Å, respectively. The effects of contact time, pH, temperature and ACOP dose on the batch adsorption of CPX were studied. Adsorption equilibrium data of CPX with ACOP were found to be compatible with both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. CPX adsorption capacity of ACOP was calculated as 181.8 mg g^-1 using Langmuir isotherm. The CPX adsorption kinetics were found to be harmonious with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Conclusively, ACOP can be assessable as an effective adsorbent for the removal of ciprofloxacin (CPX) from aqueous solutions.

The study describes the results of batch experiments on the removal of Reactive Yellow 15 (RY15) and Reactive Black 5 (RB5) from synthetic textile wastewater onto Activated Carbon from Walnut shell (ACW). The experimental data were analyzed by the Langmuir, Freundlish, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) models of adsorption. The experiments were carried out as function of initial concentrations, pH, temperature (303-333), adsorbent dose and kinetics. The surface area and pore volumes of adsorbent were measured by BET and BJH methods. The findings confirm the surface area (BET) is 248.99 $m^2/g$. The data fitted well with the Temkin and D-R isotherms for RY15 and RB5, respectively. The most favorable adsorption occurred in acidic pH. Pseudo-second order kinetic model were best in agreement with adsorption of RY15 and RB5 on ACW. The results indicate that walnut shell could be an alternative to more costly adsorbent currently being used for dyes removal.

활성탄을 사용하여 수용액으로부터 메틸 그린 염료의 흡착에 대해 초기농도와 접촉시간 및 온도를 흡착변수로 사용하여 조사하였다. 흡착평형관계는 Freundlich 등온식에 잘 맞았다. 평가된 Freundlich 분리계수(1/n = 0.212~0.305)로부터 이 흡착공정이 효과적인 처리영역(0 < $R_L$ < 1)에 속하는 것을 알았다. BET식으로부터 얻은 등온포화용량은 온도가 증가할수록 커졌다. Dubinin-Radushkevich식으로 구한 흡착에너지값(E = 316.869~340.049 J/mol)으로부터 흡착공정이 물리흡착공정임을 알았다. 흡착속도실험결과는 유사 2차 반응속도식에 잘 맞는 것으로 나타났다. 자유에너지(-5.421~-7.889 kJ/mol)와 엔탈피(31.915 kJ/mol)는 흡착공정이 자발적이고 흡열반응으로 진행되었다고 알려주었다. 등량흡착열은 평형흡착량이 증가함에 따라 커졌으며, 표면 덮임이 증가됨에 따라 흡착제-흡착질의 총 상호작용도 증가하였다.

Crushed peach stone shells were impregnated with $H_3PO_4$ of increasing concentrations (30-70%) followed by heat treatment at 773 K for 3 h. Produced carbons (ACs) were characterized by $N_2$ adsorption at 77 K using the BET-equation and the ${\alpha}$-method. High surface area microporous ACs were obtained, with enhanced internal pore volume, as function of % $H_3PO_4$. Adsorption isotherms from aqueous solution were determined for methylene blue (MB) and p-nitrophenol (PNP), as representatives for dye and phenolics pollutant molecules. Application of the Langmuir model proved the high limiting capacity towards both solute molecules, MB was uptaken in increasing amounts as function of $H_3PO_4$ concentration and generated porosity. High removal of PNP was almost the same irrespective of porosity characteristics. Competitive adsorption of $H_2O$ molecules on the hydrophilic carbon surface seems to partially reduce the available area to the PNP molecules. Application of the pseudo-second order law described well the fast adsorption (${\leq}$ 120 min) at two initial dye concentrations.

Perfluorooctanoic acid(PFOA) was one of widely used per- and poly substances(PFAS) in the industrial field and its concentration in the surface and groundwater was found with relatively high concentration compared to other PFAS. Since various processes have been introduced to remove the PFOA, adsorption using GAC is well known as a useful and effective process in water and wastewater treatment. Surface modification for GAC was carried out using Cu and Fe to enhance the adsorption capacity and four different adsorbents, such as GAC-Cu, GAC-Fe, GAC-Cu(OH)₂, GAC-Fe(OH)₃ were prepared and compared with GAC. According to SEM-EDS, the increase of Cu or Fe was confirmed after surface modification and higher weight was observed for Cu and Fe hydroxide(GAC-Cu(OH)₂ and GAC-Fe(OH)₃, respectively). BET analysis showed that the surface modification reduced specific surface area and total pore volumes. The highest removal efficiency(71.4%) was obtained in GAC-Cu which is improved by 17.9% whereas the use of Fe showed lower removal efficiency compared to GAC. PFOA removal was decreased with increase of solution pH indicating electrostatic interaction governs at low pH and its effect was decreased when the point of zero charges(pzc) was negatively increased with an increase of pH. The enhanced removal of PFOA was clearly observed in solution pH 7, confirming the Cu in the surface of GAC plays a role on the PFOA adsorption. The maximum uptake was calculated as 257 and 345 ㎍/g for GAC and GAC-Cu using Langmuir isotherm. 40% and 80% of removal were accomplished within 1 h and 48 h. According to R², only the linear pseudo-second-order(pso) kinetic model showed 0.98 whereas the others obtained less than 0.870.

본 연구에서는 지하수내에 존재하는 휘발성 유기물 제거를 위한 탄소계 나노물질인 팽창흑연의 흡착제 가능성을 평가하기 위해 일련의 흡착실험을 수행하였다. 황산처리 후 $600^{\circ}C-1,000^{\circ}C$에서 1분동안 팽창시킨 팽창흑연의 최적 팽창조건은 $800^{\circ}C$였으며, 팽창부피는 195배에 이르렀다. 입상 활성탄과의 흡착능력을 비교한 실험결과, 팽창흑연의 비표면적은 $92.4m^2/g$으로 나타나 활성탄의 1/10에 불과하였으나, 대상 오염물질인 p-Xylene 흡착은 5분 이내에 평형농도에 도달한 반면 입상 활성탄의 경우 평형농도에 이르는 시간이 7일 이내로 나타났다. 이는 팽창흑연의 공극구조가 주로 중간공극 및 거대공극으로 이루어져 물의 혼합에 의한 대류현상으로 흡착이 일어난 반면, 활성탄에 존재하는 공극은 대부분이 미세공극으로 이루어져 확산을 통한 느린 흡착이 진행되었기 때문으로 사료된다. 팽창흑연의 등온흡착 실험결과는 langmuir식과 일치하였으며, 최대 흡착량은 24.0mg/g, 흡착상수는 7.94로 나타났다. 결론적으로 휘발성 유기오염물에 대한 활성탄과의 비교 실험결과, 팽창흑연은 작은 비표면적으로 인해 활성탄에 비해 비흡착량은 작았으나 흡착속도는 1차속도식 기준으로 500여배가 큰 것으로 나타나 빠른 흡착제거가 필요한 공정에서 유용할 것으로 판단된다.
