The present work investigates the possible use of fly ash for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Batch experiments were conducted and the influences of metal concentration, pH, and fly ash concentration were investigated. Heavy metals used in these studies were lead and zinc. Adsorption studies were done over a range of pH values (3~10) at $25^{\circ}C$ and heavy metal concentrations of 10~400 mg/L using fly ash concentrations of 10 and 20 g/L. Experiments were also conducted without fly ash to determine the extent of heavy metal removal by precipitation. Kinetic and equilibrium experiments were performed and adsorption data were correlated with both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models. The results of these studies indicate that 리y ash can be used as an adsorbent for heavy metals in the aqueous solutions, yet the degree of removal depends on the pH.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate adsorptive removal of Methylene Blue (MB) dye from aqueous solution using pumice powder. The effects of pH, adsorption time, agitation speed, adsorbent dose, and dye concentrations on dye adsorption were investigated. Process kinetics and isotherm model constants were determined accordingly. The results showed that adsorbent dose, dye concentration and agitation speed are the important parameters on dye adsorption and the removal of MB did not significantly change by varying pH. A total adsorption process time of 60 min was observed to be sufficient to effectively remove 50 mg/L MB concentration. The MB adsorption data obeyed both pseudo first order and second order kinetic models. Adsorption of MB by pumice fitted well both Langmiur and Freundlich isotherms ($R^2{\geq}0.9700$), except for 150 rpm agitation speed that system fitted only Langmiur isotherm. The results of this study emphasize that pumice powder can be used as a low cost and effective adsorbent for dye removal.

Dyeing properties of cotton fabrics with green tea colorants were studied by investigating the effects of dyeing conditions such as colorants concentration. pH dyeing temperature and time on dye uptakes effects of mordats on dye uptakes and color change and effects of cationizing agent on dye uptakes. And various colorfastnesses of dyed fabrics were evaluated for practical use. Green tea colorants showed low affinity to cotton and produced yellowish red color. Freundlich adsorption isotherm was obtained thus it is considered that hydrogen bondings are formed between colorants and cotton. Dye uptake was maximum at pH 5 and decreased as pH increased. Mordants especially Cu and Sn were effective for increasing dye uptake. Dye uptakes were improved remarkably by cationizing. Cationized cotton showed Langumuir adsorption isotherm indicating that ionic bondings were formed between colorants and cationized cotton. While mordanting did not affect lightfastness cationizing affected adversely. Colorfastness of cationized sample was generally inferior to that of mordanted samples.

A novel polyacrylamide grafted hydrous ferric oxide adsorbent composite has been synthesized by using glow discharge electrolysis plasma. To optimize the synthesis conditions, the following parameters were examined in detail: applied power, discharge time, post polymerization temperature, post polymerization time, amount of crosslinking agent and hydrous ferric oxide gel added and so on. The adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The removal percentage of the adsorbent in Pb(II) solution was examined and the data obtained showed that the adsorbent composite has a high capacity for lead ion. For the use in wastewater treatment, the thermodynamic and kinetic of Pb(II)-capture were also studied. Results indicated that the adsorption reaction was a spontaneous and an endothermic process, and it seems to be obeyed a pseudo-secondorder rate model. Moreover, the adsorption isotherm of Pb(II)-capture is following the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models.

The removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions onto modified holly sawdust was studied at varying initial hexavalent chromium concentrations, adsorbent doses, pHs and contact times. The removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions increased with increasing adsorbent dosage and contact time. The percentage of hexavalent chromium removed from the aqueous solutions decreased with increasing hexavalent chromium concentration and pH of the solution. The kinetics of the adsorption of hexavalent chromium onto modified holly sawdust was analyzed using pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order models. The pseudo second-order model described the kinetics of adsorption of hexavalent chromium. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used for modeling of the adsorption equilibrium data. The Langmuir isotherm model well described the equilibrium data for the removal of hexavalent chromium by modified holly sawdust. The obtained maximum adsorption capacity was 18.86 mg/g at pH 7. The results showed that modified holly sawdust can be used as a low cost adsorbent for the treatment of aqueous solutions containing chromium.

The feasibility of using cork oak bark for phosphorus removal from wastewater was evaluated in this study. Recently, development of more cost-effective media while maintaining high efficiency in pollutants removal has received concern. Barks have a negative surface charge and, hence, tend to show a high affinity to bind cations, and they need to undergo chemical modification to increase their adsorption capacity of anions. Bark was hydrolyzed by HCl solution and it received modification using an aqueous solution of high molecular weight polyethylenimine(PEI). Surface modification with HCl and PEI resulted in a decrease of specific surface area of the bark from $1.932 m^2/g$ to $1.094 m^2/g$. The adsorption experiments were carried out in batch tests and the data were fitted to the Langmuir isotherm and Freundlich isotherm equations. Phosphate removal rate was higher at the lower solution pH possibly due to the form of phosphate ion in solution. For the initial phosphate concentration of 10 mg/L, maximum adsorption was 20.88 mg P/g at pH 3 and 12.02 mg P/g at pH 5. Mechanism of phosphorus sorption onto the HCl-PEI bark was examined through FT-IR spectrometer. Ion exchange between $NH^+$ and $H_2PO_4{^-}$ appeared to be a key mechanism of phosphate adsorption onto the HCl-PEI bark surface.

Presence of hazardous dyes in water cause considerable risks to the human health and environment due to their potential toxicity and ecological disruptions. Therefore, in the present research, to suggest an alternative method for the retention of toxic Azocarmine G (ACG) dye from aqueous media, natural and H₂SO₄-modified acacia sawdust were performed for the first time as low-cost and efficient adsorbents. Based on batch experiments, it was determined that the best conditions for the developed dye retention process were an initial pH of 2.0 and an equilibrium time of 240 min. Analysis of the data using both pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models showed that the retention of ACG onto the adsorbents predominantly occurred through chemical adsorption. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models were employed to provide insights into the interaction between the adsorbate and adsorbent and the mechanism of the adsorption process. Maximum monolayer adsorption capacities of natural and H₂SO₄-modified acacia sawdust were determined as 28.01 and 64.90 mg g^-1, respectively by Langmuir isotherm model. Results of the study clearly indicated that the modification of acacia sawdust with H₂SO₄ leads to a substantial increase in the adsorption performance of anionic dyes.

Molybdenum-blue 법(法)에 의한 규산 발색시(發色時) 환원(還元) 및 낮은 pH 조건(條件)에서 $Fe^{2+}$ 이온에 기인(起因)된 것으로 보이는 발색장해(發色障害)가 나타났다. Freundlich 식(式)의 절편(切片), Tempkin 식(式)의 기울기, "Silica reactivity"와 C-type slope" 등 4개의 지표(指標)를 규산흡착에 미치는 처리효과 판정(判定)을 위한 지표(指標)로서 검토(檢討)하였다. 이들중 "Silica reactivity"와 C-type slope"는 본(本) 실험에서 제안(提案)된 지표(指標)였다. 4개의 지표(指標)중 "C-type slope"가 가장 좋은 지표(指標)로 판명되었다. C-type 등온흡착(等溫吸着)의 직선회귀(直線回歸)는 Freundlich와 Tempkim식(式)과 거의 동일(同一)한 높은 직선회귀(直線回歸) 상관계수(相關係數)를 보였다. 또한 pH와 log(C-type slope)는 고도(高度)의 직선관계(直線關係)를 보였다. C-type slope를 지표로 이용한 처리효과 분석(分析)결과 pH와 토양종류(土壤種類)는 규산의 토양흡착에 크게 영향을 미치는 반면 산화환원(酸化還元) 전위(電位)의 효과는 없었다. 모든 형태(形態)의 Al과 Fe 및 OM이 규산흡착과 고도(高度)의 상관(相關)을 보였으며 그 중 $Fe_d$가 기여도(寄與度)가 가장 큰 성분(成分)으로 나타났다. 산화(酸化)알루미늄의 분별정량법(分別定量法)이 확립(確立)되어 있지 않은 결과(結果) Al의 기여도(寄與度)는 불확실(不確實)하게 나타나는 것으로 보였다.

최근 들어 지질기원에 의해 발생되는 지하수내 비소오염이 많이 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지하수내 비소를 효과적으로 제거하거 위하여 철침착 입상활성탄(Fe-GAC)을 제조하고 이에 대한 흡착능을 평가하였다. Fe-GAC는 질산 염철 용액으로 입상활성탄에 철화합물을 침착시켜 제조하였으며, 이를 이용하여 침착반응시간에 따른 등온흡착, pH에 따른 비소 동력학 흡착반응 및 수처리시스템 예비평가를 위한 칼럼 실험을 수행하였다. 연구결과 침착반응 시간이 최소 12시간 이상에서 비소 제거에 필요한 철의 함량을 가진 Fe-GAC가 제조되었으며, 이들의 흡착능은 등온흡착실험에서도 확인되었다. 입상활성탄에 침착된 철화합물은 XRD 분석결과 대부분 질산염수산화철($Fe_4(OH)_{11}NO_3{\cdot}2H_20$)이었으나 일부 소량의 적철석($Fe_2O_3$)도 관찰되었다. 등온흡착실험은 Langmuir가 Freundlich 모델보다 더 적합하였으며, 모델링 결과 얻어진 Freundlich 분배계수($K_F$) 및 Langmuir 최대 흡착량($Q_m$)은 입상활성탄에 침착된 철 함량과 로그-로그 양의 상관관계를 보여주었다. 동력학 흡착실험 결과 pH 11을 제외한 모든 조건 (pH 4-9)에서 Fe-GAC는 비소에 대해 뛰어난 흡착능을 나타내었으며, 따라서 일반적인 지하수의 pH가 6-8 사이임을 고려하면 Fe-GAC는 비소를 흡착에 매우 효과적인 흡착제로 이용될 것이다. 동력학 모델링 결과 Fe-GAC와 비소의 흡착은 화학적 흡착(chemisorption) 과정을 나타내는 pseudo-second order 모델이 가장 적합하였다. 비소 수처리시스템에 대한 예비 평가를 위하여 칼럼실험을 수행한 결과, 지연계수 482.4이고 분배계수 581.1 L/mg으로 이는 12-24시간 침착반응에서 제조된 Fe-GAC의 Freundlich 등온흡착 모델의 분배계수(511.5-592.5 L/mg)와 유사한 값을 나타내었다. 이러한 연구결과는 향후 지하수를 활용하는 마을상수도 수처리시스템에서 Fe-GAC가 지하수의 비소를 제거하는 뛰어난 흡여재로 사용될 수 있음을 나타내는 것이다.
