This study aimed at improving the $TiO_2$ photocatalytic degradation of HA. A set of tests was first conducted in the dark to study the adsorption of HA at different coexisting material concentration. Adsorption rate increased with adding cation ion but decreased with adding bicarbonate ion. The photodegradation of HA in the presence of UV irradiation was investigated as a function of different experimental condition: initial concentration of HA, $TiO_2$ weight, pH, air flow rate and coexisting material. It was increased either at low pH or by adding cation ion. The increase of cation strength in aqueous solution could provide a favorable condition for adsorption of HA on the $TiO_2$ surface and therefore enhance the photodegradation rate. It was found that bicarbonate ions slowed down the degradation rate by scavening the hydroxyl radicals.

A feasibility study has been conducted regarding the application of waste coffee grounds as an adsorbent for the treatment of nickel ion containing wastewater. The major variables which considered to influence the adsorbability of nickel ion were its initial concentration, reaction temperature, pH, and coexisting ion. The specific surface area of coffee grounds used in the experiment was found to be ca. $39.67m^2/g$, which suggesting its potential applicability as an adsorbent due to its relatively high surface area. In the experimental conditions, more than 90% of the initial amount of nickel ion was shown to adsorb within 15 minutes and equilibrium in adsorption was attained after 3 hours. The adsorption behavior of nickel ion was well explained by Freundlich model and kinetics study showed that the adsorption reaction was second-order. Adsorption was reduced with temperature and its change of enthalpy in standard state was estimated to be -807.05 kJ/mol. Arrhenius equation was employed for the calculation of the activation energy of adsorption and nickel ion was observed to adsorb on coffee grounds exoentropically based on thermodynamic estimations. As pH rose, the adsorption of nickel ion was diminished presumably due to the formation of cuboidal complex with hydroxide ion and the coexistence of cadmium ion was found to decrease the amount of nickel ion adsorption, which was proportional to the concentration of cadmium ion.

A study on the synthesis of zeolite from coal fly ash from power plant was carried out to reduce environmental problems and reuse industrial waste. The synthesized zeolite was proved to be Zeolite 4A type by means of the XRD and SEM analysis, and then the synthesized zeolite was used as an absorbent to remove the $NH_4^+$ ions in the wastewater and water. In the ion exchange of single $NH_4^+$ ions by the natural zeolite and the synthesized zeolite, the ion exchange reached equilibrium within 10 min. and 1hr, respectively. The amount of ion exchanged $NH_4^+$ to the unit weight of natural zeolite and zeolite 4A were 1.09 and 3.54 meq/g respectively, and the amount of $NH_4$ ion exchanged by the synthesized zeolite was higher than by the natural zeolite. The ion exchange kinetics fitted very well to the Feundlich and Langmuir isotherm. The effects of coexisting cations on the ion-exchange properties of zeolites were studied in order to apply them to water treatment. In the bisolute-system of the $NH_4^+-K^+$ and $NH_4^+-Na^+$ systems, the ion exchange capacity was smaller than the single $NH_4^+$ ion system. The effects of coexisting cations on the ion exchange system by the natural zeolite and the synthesized zeolite were found to be $K^+>Na^+$ and $Na^+>K^+>>Mg^{2+}>Ca^{2+}$, respectively.

The features of precipitating reaction of fluorine have been examined under several aquatic conditions by employing calcium ion as a precipitant. Based on MINTEQ program, fluorine was found to exist in the forms of $H_2F_2$ and HF in strong acidic environment and change into $F^-$ with increasing pH. In the experimental condition, the precipitating reaction of fluorine progressed rapidly within a few minutes after the reaction started and reached its equilibrium in 10 minutes. As the addition of precipitant was increased, removal of fluorine by the formation of precipitate was promoted and its was also enhanced by the rise of pH. The precipitating reaction of fluorine was impeded when its initial concentration was low and X-ray analysis showed that the crystalline structure of precipitate was mainly $CaF_2$ with partly NaF. Coexisting phosphate in solution influenced the fluorine removal by impeding the precipitate formation and similar effect was found when metallic ion such as $Zn^{2+}$ was present with fluorine.

The feasibility of the employment of waste oyster shell as an adsorbent for fluoride ion has been tested by considering the effect ionic condition on the adsorption of fluoride ion on oyster shell. The adsorption capacity of oyster shell for fluoride ion was found not to be significantly influenced by the ionic strength of aqueous environment. The existence of complexing agent such as nitrilotriacetic acid in wastewater decreased the adsorbed amount of fluoride ion by forming a stable complex of $CaT^-$ and the adsorption reaction of fluoride ion on oyster shell was examined to be endothermic. The coexisting heavy metal ionic adsorbate in wastewater hindered the adsorption of fluoride ion, however, its adsorbed amount was increased as the particulate size of adsorbent was decreased. Finally, a serial adsorption column test has been conducted for a practical application of adsorption process and the breakthrough of the column adsorption was observed in 22 hours under the experimental condition.

The effects of boronic acid on the fluoride-selective chemosignaling behavior of a merocyanine dye were investigated. In the presence of phenylboronic acid (PBA), N-methylquinolinium-based merocyanine dye displayed fluoride-selective chromogenic signaling behavior over other commonly coexisting anions in the micromolar concentration range. Signaling is produced by a fluoride-induced displacement of the dye from its complex with PBA, resulting in a significant chromogenic signal for the fluoride ion. This signaling was successfully analyzed using a ratiometric analysis of the UV-vis absorption in response to changes in fluoride ion concentration. A PBA substituted with an electron withdrawing group was found to exhibit a more pronounced signal. Polymer-bound PBA also exhibited useful fluoride-selective signaling behavior.

폐펄프를 흡착제로 $Ni^{2+}$가 함유된 폐수의 흡착 처리시 흡착제로 활용하는 방안을 검토하고자, 흡착질의 초기 농도, 온도, 흡착제인 폐펄프의 양, pH 등을 변화시키고, 공존물질의 농도 및 전처리의 영향 등의 요인을 고려하여 실험하였다. pH 에 따른 폐펄프의 Electrokinetic Potential pH 7.8 보다 낮은 영역에서는 양의 전하를 나타내고, 그 이상의 pH에서는 음의 전하를 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 폐펄프에 대한 $Ni^{2+}$의 흡착은 4시간 이내에 평형에 도달하였고, 흡착질인 $Ni^{2+}$의 초기 농도가 증가할수록 흡착량 역시 증가함을 보였다. 온도가 증가함에 따라 흡착량이 감소하여 흡착반응은 발열반응의 양상을 보였으며 이를 열역학적으로 고찰하였다. 또한 흡착제인 폐펄프의 양이 증가함에 따라 흡착량이 증가하였으며, pH $3{\sim}6$ 영역에서 pH 가 증가함에 따라 흡착량이 증가함을 보였는데 이는 폐펄프의 표면전위의 pH에 따른 변화양상과도 일치하는 결과였다. 공존물질인 $KNO_3$의 농도가 증가함에 따라 $Ni^{2+}$ 흡착량이 감소함을 보였고, NaOH 로 페펄프를 전처리한 후 흡착실험을 한 결과 전반적으로 NaOH 의 농도가 상승함에 따라 흡착률이 증가하는 것으로 관찰되었으나 그 값이 어느 한도 이상일 경우 오히려 흡착률이 감소하는 것으로 파악되었다.

본 연구는 다양한 종류의 음이온 교환수지와 활성탄으로 구성된 새로운 혼합 수지를 과염소산 이온의 제거에 응용할 경우, 각 흡착제들이 갖는 장점으로 인한 시너지 효과를 얻을 수 있는지 조사하였다. 특히 비군사화 과정에서 발생하는 고 농도의 과염소산 암모늄용액을 대상으로 하였는데, 혼합수지 중단일-기능기 음이온 교환수지와 활성탄의 조합에서 과염소산 이온의 흡착 효율이 향상되었다. 일반적으로는 분리된 흡착조를 이용하여 유기 오염물과 무기 음이온의 제거가 시행되는데 반해, 본 연구에서 시도한 혼합 수지를 사용할 경우 한 번에 동시 제거가 가능하여 제거과정에서 필요한 시간, 공간 및 비용을 감소시키는 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 시료 중의 공존 음이온들에 대한 방해효과도 낮고 음이온 교환 수지에 비하여 특별한 단점이 없으며 실제시료에도 효과적으로 응용이 가능하였다.

Removal of Cu(II), Cr(III) and Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions using the adsorption process on the loesses has been investigated. Variations of contact time, pH, adsorption isotherms and selectivity of coexisting ions were experimental parameters. pH of KJ and YIK samples diluted to 1% solution, was rearly the same with each value of pH 5.58 and 5.49, and both samples showed weak acidic properties. From chemical analysis, both samples contain remarkably different amounts of ${SiO}_{2}$, ${Al}_{2}O_{3}$ and ${Fe}_{2}O_{3}$. From XRD measurement, quartz was mainly observed in both samples. Kaolinite was also observed, also in both samples, but Feldspar was only observed in KJ sample. Adsorption of metal ions on the loesses were reached at equilibrium by shaking for about 30min. The adsorption of Cr(III) ion was higher than that of Cu(II) oand Pb(II) ions. The order of amount adsorbed among the investigated ions was Cr(III)>Pb(II)>Cu(II). In acidic solution, the adsorptivity of loesses was increased as pH increased. The adsorption of Cr(III) ion on the loesses were fitted to the Freundlich isotherms. Freundlich constants(1/n) of KJ and YIK loesses were 0.54 and 0.55, respectively.

The objectives of this study were the development of a synthesis technique for highly active nanosized ITO powder and the understanding of the reaction mechanisms of the ITO precursors. The precipitation and agglomeration phenomena in ITO and $In_{2}O_{3}$ precursors are very sensitive to reaction temperature, pH, and coexisting ion species. Excessive $Cl^-$ ion and $Sn^{+4}$ ions had a negative effect an synthesizing highly active powders. However, with a relevant stabilizing treatment the shape and size of ITO and $In_{2}O_{3}$ precursors could be controlled and high density sintered products of ITO were obtained. By applying the reprecipitation process (or stabilization technique), highly active ITO and $In_{2}O_{3}$ powders were synthesized. Sintering these powders at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours produced 97% dense ITO bodies.
