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.

In this work, the amine-treated activated carbon nanotubes (A-MWNTs) were used to investigate the $CO_2$ adsorption behaviors. A-MWNTs were prepared by impregnation with amine in methanol after chemical activation methods using a KOH. The characteristics of amine-treated A-MWNTs were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), $N_2$ adsorption, desorption isotherms at 77 K. The specific surface area and pore volume of the A-MWNTs were analyzed by BET equation, BJH method, and t-plot method. $CO_2$ capture capacity as a function of temperature was measured by temperature programmed desorption (TPD). From the results, the amine treatment increased the basicity and nitrogen content of the A-MWNTs. The $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of the amine-nontreated A-MWNTs showed the highest value at room temperature and then greatly decreased with increasing the temperature. However, the amine-treated A-MWNTs presented a softer slope with temperature compared to the amine-nontreated ones. It was due to the strong interactions between $CO_2$ and amino groups presented on the carbon surfaces studied.

Manganese (Mn) exists in various oxidation states and Mn(II) is the most mobile species of Mn, which is toxic to plants and limits their growth. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to reduce Mn toxicity by immobilizing Mn using various adsorbents including iron oxides and calcium compounds. Ferrihydrite, schwertmannite, goethite were synthesized, which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Hematite was purchased and used as Mn adsorbent. Calcium compounds such as CaNO₃, CaSO₄, and CaCO₃ were used to increase pH and oxidize Mn. For Mn adsorption, Mn(II) solution was reacted with four iron oxides, CaNO₃, CaSO₄, and CaCO₃ for 24 hours, filtered, and the remaining Mn concentrations in the solution were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. The adsorption rate and adsorption isotherm were calculated. Among iron oxides, the adsorption rate was highest for hematite followed by ferrihyrite, but goethite and schwertmannite did not adsorb Mn. In the case of calcium compounds, the adsorption rate was high in the order of CaCO₃>CaNO₃>CaSO₄. In conclusion, treatment of CaCO₃ was the most effective in reducing Mn toxicity by increasing pH.

The adsorption capability of cobalt phthalocyanine derivatives was investigated by means of X-ray diffractometor (XRD), FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and temperature programmed desorption (TPD). According to TPD results for ammonia, cobalt phthalocyanine derivatives showed two desorption peaks at low temperature ($100{\sim}150^{\circ}C$) and high temperature ($350{\sim}400^{\circ}C$) indicating that there were two kinds of acidities. Tetracarboxylic cobalt phthalocyanine (Co-TCPC) has a stronger desorption peak (chemical adsorption) at high temperature and a weaker desorption peak (physical adsorption) at low temperature than cobalt phthalocyanine (Co-PC). The specific surface areas of Co-TCPC and Co-PC were 37.5 and $18.4m^2/g$, respectively. The pore volumes of Co-TCPC and Co-PC were 0.17 and $0.10cm^3/g$, respectively. The adsorption capability of triethyl amine calculated by breakthrough curve at 120 ppm of equilibrium concentration was 24.3 mmol/g for Co-TCPC and 0.8 mmol/g for Co-PC. The removal efficiencies of dimethyl sulfide of Co-TCPC and Co-PC in batch experiment of 225 ppm of initial concentration were 92 and 18%, respectively. The removal efficiencies of trimethyl amine of Co-TCPC and Co-PC in batch experiment of 118 ppm of initial concentration were 100 and 17%, respectively.

$Bi_2Sr_2Ca_nCu_{n+1}O_y$($n{\geq}0$; BSCCO)thin film is fabricated via two different processes using an ion beam sputtering method i.e. co-deposition and layer-by-layer deposition. A single phase of Bi2212 can be fabricated via the co-deposition process. While it cannot be obtained by the layer-by-layer process. Ultra-low growth rate in our ion beam sputtering system brings out the difference in Bi element adsorption between the two processes and results in only 30% adsorption against total incident Bi amount by layer-by-layer deposition, in contrast to enough Bi adsorption by co-deposition.

Li, Zr doped mesoporous silica was synthesized in one pot and investigated for low temperature $CO_2$ adsorption. Herein CTAB and TEOS are used as structural directing agent and silica source respectively. The characteristics of the material was obtained from FT IR, XRD, SEM, TG and BET results. ICP AES results revealed the presence of lithium and zirconium. The material possesses high surface area ($962.22m^2g^{-1}$) with mono dispersed particles of about 2 nm. The maximum $CO_2$ adsorption capacity is 5 wt % (50 mg/g) of $CO_2$/g of sorbent at $25^{\circ}C$, which is regenerable at $200^{\circ}C$. This regeneration temperature of the adsorbent is lower than the reported lithium zirconium silicate powder. Until now, there is no report for the synthesis of Li, Zr doped mesoporous silica. The performance studies illustrate that Li, Zr doped mesoporous silica is tunable, regenerable, recyclable and selective sorbent and hence found to be a promising candidate for $CO_2$ adsorption.

It is desired that carbon dioxide causing a greenhouse effect be removed at a high temperature and high pressure in a steam reforming reaction. In this research, a pellet form of adsorbent CaO is employed to capture $CO_2$. The adsorbent was manufactured using a high pressure molding on powdered $CaCO_3$ followed by calcination. Then its properties were analyzed and the adsorption experiments were carried out in a batch adsorption chamber. The pore area was found to be dependent on a molding pressure and the pore distribution showed two peaks. It is examined that $CO_2$ binds to CaO by means of chemisorption and its maximum conversion is nearly $80\%$ at $700^{\circ}C$.

Zinc oxide (5, 10 and 15 wt%) impregnated NaZSM-5 zeolite synthesized using rice husk ash as silica source was tested for $CO_2$ adsorption. The materials were characterized by XRD, SEM-EDS, $CO_2$-TPD and BET techniques. The heat of the reaction (${\Delta}$Hr) derived from DSC for ZnO(10%)/NaZSM-5 was found to be 495 Btu/lb and the maximum $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of ZnO(10%)/NaZSM-5 is 140 mg/g of sorbent. Extraction of silica from the agricultural waste, rice husk and its use in the zeolite synthesis is an added advantage in this study. Hence, from the study it is concluded that zinc oxide impregnated NaZSM-5 could be treated as novel material for $CO_2$ adsorption as they were found to be regenerable, selective and recyclable.
