본 연구에서는 수용액 중의 불소이온을 제거할 수 있는 흡착제로서 란탄수산화물의 활용 가능서을 검토하였다. 란탄 수산화물을 대상으로 회분식 흡착실험을 수행하고, 그 결과를 바탕으로 pH 영향, 흡착속도, 흡착등온 및 흡착에너지 등을 살펴보았다. 란탄수산화물은 pH 8.8 이하의 산성영역으로 갈수록 불소 제거율이 증가하는 특성을 나타냈다. 란탄수산화물의 불소 흡착평형은 Langmuir isotherm 보다는 Fruendlich isotherm 모델과 더 일치하였다. D-R 모델로부터 구한 흡착에너지는 9.21 kJ/mol로 이온교환메커니즘을 나타내는 범위에 속하였으며, 흡착속도는 2차 속도모델과 일치하는 거동을 보였다. 열역학적 상수 ${\Delta}Go^{\circ}$, ${\Delta}H^{\circ}$와 ${\Delta}S^{\circ}$는 란탄수산화물의 불소흡착특성이 자발적이고 흡열반응임을 나타냈다. 란탄수산화물은 1N NaOH로 재생 가능하며, 실 지하수에 대한 흡착실험 결과, 란탄수산화물이 PA보다 불소에 대한 이온선택성은 물론 제거율이 높았다.

Potassium hydroxide activated carbons were prepared from Egyptian petroleum cokes with different KOH/coke ratios and at different activation temperatures and times. The textural properties were determined by adsorption of nitrogen at $-196^{\circ}C$. The adsorption of iodine and methylene blue was also investigated at $30^{\circ}C$. The surface area and the non-micropore volume increased whereas the micropore volume decreased with the increase of the ratio KOH/coke. Also the surface area and porosity increased with the rise of activation temperature from 500 to $800^{\circ}C$. Textural parameter considerably increased with the increase of activation time from 1 to 3 h. Further increasing of activation time from 3 to 4 h was associated with a less pronounced increase in textural parameters. The adsorption of iodine shows the same trend of surface area and porosity change exhibited by nitrogen adsorption, with KOH/coke ratio and temperature of activation. Adsorption of methylene blue follows pseudo-first-order kinetics and its equilibrium adsorption follows Langmuir and D-R models.

Potassium hydroxide-activated carbons (CK21, CK11, and CK12) were prepared from pistachio nutshells. Physicochemical properties of activated carbons were characterized by TGA, $pH_{pzc}$, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and $N_2$-adsorption at $-196^{\circ}C$. The examinations showed that activated carbons have high surface area ranging between 695-1218 $m^2/g$, total pore volume ranging between 0.527-0.772 mL/g, and a pore radius around 1.4 nm. The presence of acidic and basic surface C-O groups was confirmed. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to study the effects of adsorbent dosage, temperature, initial concentration of adsorbate, and contact time on deltamethrin adsorption by activated carbons. The kinetic studies showed that the adsorption data followed a pseudo-second order kinetic model. The Langmuir model showed a maximum adsorption capacity of 162.6 mg/g at $35^{\circ}C$ on CK12. Thermodynamic studies indicated that adsorption was spontaneous and increased with temperature, suggesting an endothermic process.

We prepared hybrids between layered double hydroxide (LDH) and natural plant extract such as Peaonia suffruticosa Andrews (PS) and Peaonia Japonica (PJ) which was confirmed anti-bacterial activity through paper disc diffusion assay. According to X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, zeta-potential measurement and quantification of extract loading amount in hybrids, we confirmed that similar amount of PS and PJ loaded on inter-particle pore of LDH with partial adsorption on surface of LDH through reconstruction process. We also evaluated the bacterial colony forming inhibition of PS extract, PJ extract, PS-LDH and PJ-LDH hybrids against Escherichia coli as gram negative bacterium and Bacillus subtilis as gram positive bacterium, suggesting that both hybrids have enhanced anti-bacterial activity compared with extract itself.

The equilibrium and kinetic adsorption of arsenic on six different adsorbents were investigated with one synthetic and four natural types (two surface and two ground) of water. The adsorbents tested included magnetic ion exchange resins (MIEX), hydrous ion oxide particles (HIOPs), granular ferric hydroxide (GFH), activated alumina (AA), sulfur modified iron (SMI), and iron oxide-coated microsand (IOC-M), which have different physicochemical properties (shape, charge, surface area, size, and metal content). The results showed that adsorption equilibriums were achieved within a contact period of 20 min. The optimal doses of adsorbents determined for a given equilibrium concentration of $C_{eq}=10\;{\mu}g/L$ were 500 mg/L for AA and GFH, 520-1,300 mg/L for MIEX, 1,200 mg/L for HIOPs, 2,500 mg/L for SMI, and 7,500 mg/L for IOC-M at a contact time of 60 min. At these optimal doses, the rate constants of the adsorbents were 3.9, 2.6, 2.5, 1.9, 1.8, and 1.6 1/hr for HIOPs, AA, GFH, MIEX, SMI, and IOC-M, respectively. The presence of silicate significantly reduced the arsenic removal efficiency of HIOPs, AA, and GFH, presumably due to the decrease in chemical binding affinity of arsenic in the presence of silicate. Additional experiments with natural types of water showed that, with the exception of IOC-M, the adsorbents had lower adsorption capacities in ground water than with surface and deionized water, in which the adsorption capacities decreased by approximately 60-95%.

2007년부터 국내 광해방지기본계획이 추진되어 광해발생 광산에 대한 광해방지사업이 진행되어 왔으며 2011년부터 2015년까지 254개 광산에서 발생된 광해를 처리 및 복구하였다. 그러나 추가적인 광해 발생 발견으로 오염갱내수 유출량이 지속적으로 증가함에 따라 보다 효율적이고 경제적인 처리기술이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정수처리장의 슬러지 폐기물을 활용해 제조한 알럼 슬러지 흡착제(Alum based adsorbent, ABA-500)와 과립상 철수산화물 흡착제(Granular ferric hydroxide, GFH)를 광산배수 내 오염물질인 비소를 대상으로 각각의 흡착특성을 비교 및 분석했다. 이들 흡착제의 주요 구성 성분은 각각 알루미늄/규소 계열의 광물과 비정질 철수산화물이었다. 고형첨가방법으로 흡착제의 영전하점을 분석한 결과 ABA-500, GFH 각각 pH 5.27, 6.72에서 표면전하량이 0이 되었다. BET 분석을 통한 질소 등온 흡탈착 결과 세 흡착제 모두 메조기공이 발달해 있었고, GFH의 비표면적은 257 m²·g^-1으로 126~136 m²·g^-1인 ABA-500 보다 매우 높은 값을 보였다. 세 종류의 흡착제로 비소 흡착 회분식 실험을 진행했으며, 반응시간과 초기 비소농도, pH 및 온도에 따라 흡착효율을 비교했다. 동적흡착실험 결과 GFH, ABA-500(granule), ABA-500(3mm) 순으로 빠르게 비소를 흡착했고 세 흡착제 모두 유사 2차 반응속도 모델을 따르는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 세 흡착제 모두 낮은 pH와 높은 온도에서 비소 제거율이 증가했으며, GFH가 가장 뛰어난 비소 흡착능을 보였다. 흡착제 ABA-500(granule)과 GFH를 초기 농도에 따라 1시간 반응시킨 경우 0.2와 1 mg·g^-1 이하 조건에서 비소를 국내 음용수 기준치 이하로 제거할 수 있었다. 따라서 정화대상지의 비소 오염 정도가 낮은 경우 경제성을 고려해 ABA-500(granule)을 흡착매질로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The surface properties of activated carbon modified by acids and base were studied. The influence of the surface chemistry on the adsorption of benzene and acetone vapor on modified activated carbons has been investigated The modified activated carbons were obtained by treatment with acetic acid ($CH_3COOH$), nitric acid ($HNO_3$) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The modified activated carbons had similar porosity but different surface chemistry and adsorption characteristics. The total surface acidity (sum of functional groups) of activated carbon (AC-AN) treated by nitric acid was 2.6 times larger than that of activated carbon (AC) before the acid treatment. Especially, carboxyl group was much developed by nitric acid treatment. The benzene equilibrium adsorption capacity of AC-AN decreased 20% more than that of AC. However, the acetone equilibrium adsorption capacity of AC-AN increased 20% more than that of AC because of the large increase of carboxyl group and acidity.

In order to remove fluoride ions from aqueous solution, PVC-$Al(OH)_3$ beads were prepared by immobilizing $Al(OH)_3$ with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The prepared PVC-$Al(OH)_3$ bead was characterized by using SEM, EDS and Zeta potential. Dependences of pH, contact time and initial fluoride concentration on the adsorption of fluoride ions were studied. The optimal pH was in the range of 4~10. The adsorption was rapid during the initial 12 hr, and equilibrium was attained within 72 hr. The adsorption rate of fluoride ions by PVC-$Al(OH)_3$ beads obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained from Langmuir isotherm model was found to be 62.68 mg/g.

High crystallinity coke-based activated carbon (hc-AC) is prepared using a potassium hydroxide solution to adsorb carbon dioxide ($CO_2$). The $CO_2$ adsorption characteristics of the prepared hc-AC are investigated at different temperatures. The X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that pitch-based cokes prepared under high temperature and pressure have a high crystal structure. The textural properties of hc-AC indicate that it consists mainly of slit-like pores. Compared to other textural forms of AC that have higher pore volumes, this slit-pore-shaped hc-AC exhibits higher $CO_2$ adsorption due to the similar shape between its pores and $CO_2$ molecules. Additionally, in these high-crystallinity cokes, the main factor affecting $CO_2$ adsorption at lower temperature is the pore structure, whereas the presence of oxygen functional groups on the surface has a greater impact on $CO_2$ adsorption at higher temperature.

Activated carbons (ACs) are widely used in adsorption for the removal of gaseous and aqueous pollutants[1]. Although a wide range of carbonaceous materials can be converted into ACs, the coal and lingocellulosic materials are the most commonly used starting materials for the production of commercial ACs. Recently, there are a quite large number of studies regarding the preparation of ACs from various polymeric materials because of high carbon yield and low ash content In this work, ACs are prepared from polystyrene (PS) by chemical activation with potassium hydroxide and the effect of the KOH-to-PS ratio to adsorption of ammonia is investigated.
