We addressed the development of a novel, low-cost, and high-efficient material from hybrid materials, known as microcapsules. Microcapsules are a composite adsorbent made of a mixture of tannin, sericite and chitosan. The FT-IR analysis showed that the microcapsules contain hydroxyl, carboxyl, carbonyl, and amino groups, which play an important role in the adsorption of heavy metals. The microcapsules were able to remove 99% of Pb(II) in 30 min, and obtained a removal efficiency of more than (13-50)%, compared with the single adsorbents of tannin, chitosan, and sericite. In adsorption kinetic analysis, pseudo-second-order adsorption was more suitable than pseudo-first-order adsorption, and chemical adsorption did not limit the adsorption rate of Pb(II) ion. In isothermal adsorption, Langmuir adsorption was more suitable than Freundlich adsorption, and the maximum Langmuir adsorption capacity was 167.82 (mg/g). Furthermore, desorption and reusability studies, as well as the applicability of the material for wastewater treatment, demonstrated that microcapsules offer a promising hybrid material for the efficient removal of significant water pollutants, i.e., Pb(II) from aqueous solutions.

The composite fiber adsorbents containing amidoxime group were prepared and separation properties of uranium ion from seawater were investigated. The amount of uranium adsorption was increased with an increase in adsorption time. When the mole ratio of monomer and comonomer, such as acrylonitrile (AN), tetraethyleneglycol dimethacrylate(TEGMA), and divinylbenzene (DVB), were 1 :0. 1 :0.003, this resin showed the maximum adsorption ability for uranium at a level of pH 8. The amount of uranium adsorption was also increased linearly to one hour with an increase in the content of adsorbent which was added in the composite fiber adsorbents(CFA). The maximum adsorption for uranium of CF A showed at $25^{\circ}C$. Hence, the adsorption ability of CF A for calcium and magnecium ions were increased gradually by the recycling of adsorption and disorption, the adsorption content of their on were 0.3, 0.9mmole/g-adsorbents, respectly. It also showed that the adsorption contents of Ca and \1g ions were much lower than them of uranium. The desorption of uranium on the CF A was carried out , bout 100% within 30min, and the desorption rate of various CF A were equalled.

The adsorption properties of $Cs^+$ and $Cu^{2+}$ ions were evaluated by using a polysulfone scoria zeolite (PSf-SZ) composite with synthetic zeolite synthesized from Jeju volcanic rocks (scoria). In order to investigate the adsorption properties, various parameters, such as pH, contact time, reaction rate, concentration, and temperature in aqueous solutions, were evaluated by tests carried out in batch experiments. The adsorption capacities of $Cs^+$ and $Cu^{2+}$ ions increased between pH 2 but achieved equilibrium at pH 4 and above. The adsorption rate increased rapidly up to the initial 24 h, after which it plateaued ; the adsorption rate then sustained at equilibrium from 48 h. The adsorption kinetics of $Cs^+$ and $Cu^{2+}$ ions were described better by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model than the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The Langmuir model fitted the adsorption isotherm data better than the Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacities of $Cs^+$ and $Cu^{2+}$ ions obtained from the Langmuir model were 53.8 mg/g and 84.7 mg/g, respectively. The calculated thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption of $Cs^+$ and $Cu^{2+}$ ions on PSf-SZ was feasible, spontaneous and endothermic reaction.

$Al_2O_3-TiO_2$ composite oxide adsorbents which could be applied in high-temperature water were prepared by hydrolysis of aluminum and titanium alkoxide. The prepared adsorbents were calcined at $600{\sim}1400^{\circ}C$ and in order to investigate the various properties - the transition of crystals, thermal properties, and specific surface area, X-ray diffractometry, thermal analysis, FT-IR, SEM and BET method were employed. And the $Co^{2+}$ adsorption characteristics of these adsorbents in high-temperature water were investigated by batch adsorption experiment in a stirred autoclave. Since the adsorption of $Co^{2+}$ on the $Al_2O_3-TiO_2$ adsorbents was irreversible endothermic in the temperature range of $150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$, the standard enthalpy changes of 26, 43, and 80 mol% of $TiO_2$ on $Al_2O_3$ were in the range of $16.5{\sim}26.0kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$. The adsorbent of 26 mol% of $TiO_2$ on $Al_2O_3$ which was calcined at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours showed the adsorption amount of $0.1674meq{\cdot}g^{-1}$ in the high temperature water at $250^{\circ}C$.

In this study, an acrylic acid (AAc) was grafted on a polypropylene (PP) nonwoven fabric using electron beam irradiation. Electron beam grafting was carried out under various conditions to produce AAc grafted PP (PP-g-AAc) nonwoven fabric having a grafting yield of about 50% at radiation dose of 100 kGy and a monomer concentration of 60%. The physical and chemical properties of PP-g-AAc nonwoven fabric were evaluated by SEM, ATR-FTIR, thermal analysis and tensile strength. The morphology of PP and PP-g-AAc nonwoven fabric confirmed by SEM showed no significant change, and it was judged that AAc was introduced into PP nonwoven fabric from ATR-FTIR. PP-g-AAc nonwoven fabric showed an increase in tensile strength and a decrease in tensile strain compared to PP nonwoven fabric. However, since change of value is not significant, it is considered that there is no significant influence on the physical characterization. Adsorption experiments of PP-g-AAc nonwoven fabric on various ions showed selective adsorption behavior for lead ion. In conclusion, the electron beam radiation-induced PP-g-AAc nonwoven fabric is expected to be applied as an effective adsorbent for the adsorption of lead ions.

In this study, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/graphene oxide (GO)/iron oxide (Fe₃O₄) magnetic microgels were prepared using a microfluidic approach and the dye adsorption capacity of the microgels was confirmed. The adsorption capacity (q_e) of the gels was evaluated by varying the dye concentration, pH, and contact time with the microgels. The dyes used in this work were methylene blue (MB), crystal violet (CV), and malachite green (MG), and microgels showed the highest adsorption capacity (191.1 mg/g) in methylene blue. The microgels exhibited the highest adsorption capacity in the dye aqueous solution at pH 10 due to the presence of atomic nitrogen ions (N⁺) on the dye molecules. The adsorption isotherm studies revealed that the Langmuir isotherm is the best fit isotherm model for the dye adsorption on the microgels, indicative of monolayer adsorption. The kinetic analysis exhibited that the pseudo-second order model fits better than the pseudo-first order model, confirming that the adsorption process is chemisorption. In addition, the magnetic microgels showed good reusability and recovery efficiency. It was confirmed that the adsorption capacity of the gels maintains more than 70% of the initial capacity after 5 times of cycle experiments.
