A novel copper(II) membrane electrode based on diphenylisocyanate bis(acetylacetone) ethylenediimine (DIBAE), as a new hexadentates Schiff's base was prepared. The electrode exhibited a Nernstian response for Cu$^{2+}$ ions over a wide concentration range (1.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-1}$ to 1.0 ${\times}$ l0$^{-6}$ M) with a limit of detection of 6.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-7}$ M (39 ppb). The sensor shows a fast response time (15s) and the membrane can be used for more than 4 months without observing any major deviation. The electrode revealed very good selectivity with respect to many cations including alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions. The proposed sensor could be used in a pH range of 3.0-7.5. It was applied to the direct potentiometric determination of copper in black tea, and in wastewater of copper electroplating samples. The electrode was also used in potentiometric titration of the copper(II) ion with EDTA.

The 3-[(2-furylmethylene)amino]-2-thioxo-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (FTT) was used as an excellent ionophore in construction of a $Zn^{2+}$ PVC-based membrane sensor. The best performance was obtained with a membrane composition of 30% poly(vinyl chloride), 62% nitrobenzen (NB), 3% FTT and 5% sodium tetraphenyl borate (TBP). This membrane sensor shows very good selectivity and sensitivity towards $Zn^{2+}$ over a wide variety of cations, including alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions. The membrane sensor revealed a great enhancement in selectivity coefficients for $Zn^{2+}$ ions, in comparison to the previously reported $Zn^{2+}$ membrane sensors. Theoretical studies also showed the selective interaction of TFF and $Zn^{2+}$ ions. The proposed membrane sensor exhibits a Nernstian behavior (with slope of 29.3 ${\pm}$ 0.3 mV per decade) over a wide concentration range (1.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-6}$-1.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-2}$) with a detection limit of 8.5 ${\times}$ $10^{-7}$ M (52 ng mL$^{-1}$). It shows relatively fast response time, in the whole concentration range ($\lt$ 20 s), and can be used for at least 10 weeks in a pH range of 3.0-7.0. The proposed membrane sensor was successfully used in direct determination of $Zn^{2+}$ ions in wastewater of industrial zinc electroplating companies, and also as an indicator electrode in titration with EDTA.

We investigated simultaneous removal of heavy metals such as Cr, Ni, and Zn by adsorption onto powdered activated carbon (PAC) and PAC modified with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (PAC-SDDC). Modification of PAC was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Both PAC and PAC-SDDC reached adsorption equilibrium within 48 h, and the adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second order reaction kinetics. The removal of metals was enhanced with increasing both adsorbent dosage and followed the descending order of Cr > Ni > Zn for PAC and Cr > Zn > Ni for PAC-SDDC, respectively. Adsorption kinetics followed pseudo-second order kinetics. Adsorption kinetic results were well fitted by the Freundlich isotherm except for Cr adsorption onto PAC. The optimum pH for heavy metal adsorption onto PAC was 5, whereas that for PAC-SDDC ranged from 7 to 9, indicating that modification of PAC with SDDC significantly enhanced heavy metal adsorption, especially under neutral and alkaline pH conditions. Our results imply that SDDC modified PAC can be applied to effectively remove heavy metals especially Cr in plating wastewaters without adjusting pH from alkaline to neutral.

2002년도 지정폐기물 중 오니의 발생량은 190천통으로 이 중에 중금속 함유 오니(주로 도금폐수처리오니)가 포함되어 있고, 대부분 매립 처리하고 있다. 즉 매년 190천톤의 중금속 오니가 토양과 지하수를 오염시키지 않을까 우려스럽다. 본고에서는 먼저 폐수 및 오니처리에 관련되는 법규를 정리하고, 다음에는 1차적으로 중금속 함유오니의 발생과 처리현황을 조사 검토하였다. 또한 필자 주위의 연구자 중에서, 이와 관련되어서 행한 대형 연구를 간략하게 소개하였다. 이러한 조사내용이 우리나라 중금속 함유 폐수 및 오니의 발생과 처리실태를 파악하고, 리싸이클링과 같이 더욱 앞선 처리대핵을 강구하는데 도움이 되었으면 한다.

마드래스형 티타늄 기판위에 전착시킨 $\beta$형-이산화납 전극을 이용하여 도금폐수중의 시안염을 분해하기 위한 최적조건에 관하여 검토하고자 하였다. 시안분해에 알맞는 온도 및 pH를 검토한 후 500ppm NaCN을 전해질로 하여 시안분해효율이 높아질 수 있는 이산화납의 전착전류밀도와 시안의 분해전류밀도를 구하였으며, 이산화납 전극의 내구성을 조사하였다. 시안화수소의 발생은 온도 $40^{\circ}C$이상의 시안염용액에서 활발했으며 pH 13이상에서는 시안화수소가 발생하지 않았다. $5A/dm^2$의 전류밀도로 전착시킨 이산화납전극에서 최대의 시안분해효율을 나타냈다. $0.08A/dm^2$의 시안분해전류밀도에서 약 70%의 시안분해 전류효율을 보였으며 $4A/dm^2$이상에서는 약 10% 정도로 일정해지는 경향을 보였다. 이산화납 전착층은 약 $20A/dm^2$의 시안분해 전류밀도에서부터 열화가 일어났으며 약 $50A/dm^2$에서 파괴되었다.
