Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released from various sources and are unsafe for human health. Porous materials are promising candidates for the adsorption of VOCs owing to their increased ratio of surface area to volume. In this study, activated carbon (AC) impregnated cellulose acetate (CA) electrospun mats were synthesized using electrospinning for the removal of VOCs from the air mixture of ACs, and CA solution was electrospun at different proportions (5%, 10%, and 15%) in a single nozzle system. The different AC amounts in the electrospun mats were distributed within the AC fibers. The adsorption capacities were measured for acetone, benzene, and dichloromethane, using quartz crystal microbalance. The results elicited an increasing adsorption capacity trend as a function of the impregnation of ACs in the electrospun mats, while their capacities increased as a function of the AC concentration. Dichloromethane resulted in a faster adsorption process than acetone and benzene owing to its smaller molecular size. VOCs were desorbed with the N₂ gas purging, while VOCs were adsorbed at higher temperatures owing to the increased vapor pressures. The adsorption analysis using Dubinin-Astakhov equation showed that dichloromethane is more strongly adsorbed on mats.

본 연구에서는 NaOH로 첨착시킨 활성탄의 표면특성변화와 H$_2$S 흡착능을 고찰하였다. 첨착시약으로 사용된 NaOH 용액의 농도는 1~8N이며, 활성탄의 입자크기는 8$\times$30mesh가 적용되었다. 실험결과는 첨착율이 0.87~5.8% 범위 내에서 증가할수록 BET 표면적은 1050$m^2$/g에서 783$m^2$/g로 감소하며, 표면산도는 0.541meq/g-AC에서 0meq/g-AC으로 감소하고, pH는 9.56에서 10.86으로 증가하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 NaOH로 첨착시킨 활성탄의 H$_2$S 평형흡착능을 보임으로써 비첨착활성탄에 비해 2~3배 높은 수준을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.

The present study has evaluated the $CO_2$ adsorption amount of activated carbon pellets (AC). Coconut shell based test AC were modified with surface impregnation of glycine, glycine metal salts and monoethanolamine for low level $CO_2$ (3000 ppm) adsorption. Physical and chemical properties of prepared adsorbents were analyzed and the adsorbed amount of $CO_2$ was investigated by using pure and 3,000 ppm $CO_2$ levels. The impregnation of nitrogen functionalities was verified by XPS analysis. The adsorption capacity for pure $CO_2$ gas was found to reach upto 3.08 mmol/g by AC-LiG (Activated carbon-Lithium glycinate), which has the largest specific surface area ($1026.9m^2/g$). As for low level $CO_2$ flow the primary amine impregnated adsorbent showed 0.26 mmol/g of adsorption amount, indicating the highest selectivity. An adsorbent with potassium-glycine salts (AC-KG, Activated carbon-Potassium glycinate) instead of amine presented with 0.12 mmol/g of adsorption capacity, which was higher than that of raw activated carbon granules (0.016 mmol/g).

In this study, an exhaust filter unit for removing bad smells is designed and manufactured to understand the characteristics, damages, and effects on humans and animals of bad smell substances in laboratory animal breeding facilities. Using the exhaust filter unit, a deodorization performance test using ammonia gas, as a typical bad smell in an animal breeding room, was carried out for three types of activated and impregnated charcoal filters. The experimental results showed that the pressure loss of the HEPA and carbon filter was increased with flow rate and that the average deodorization performance for the case where an impregnated carbon filter was installed was a maximum value of between 93 and 96%, with various fractional flow rates ranging from 1,500 to $3,500m^3/h$ in a laboratory animal breeding room. The experimental results will also be used for the design and manufacture of a practical and efficient exhaust filter unit to cope with bad smell problems in animal breeding facilities.

원자력시설에서 방사성요오드 제거용으로 사용되는 TEDA 침착활성탄의 고온공정에서의 메틸요오드의 제거성능을 은이온제올라이트(AgX)와 상호 비교하였다. $30^{\circ}C~400^{\circ}C$ 온도범위에서 온도에 따른 메틸요오드의 흡착량 및 탈착후 잔존량을 측정한 결과, 비첨착활성탄의 흡착성능은 온도가 증가함에 따라 급격히 감소하지만 TEDA 침착활성탄의 흡착성능은 $100^{\circ}C$부근에서도 AgX와 거의 유사한 값을 나타내었고, 탈착후 잔존량은 $250^{\circ}C$까지도 비침착활성탄에 비하여 매우 높은 값을 유지하였다. 또한 $100^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온공정에서 AgX 및 TEDA 침착활성탄을 충전한 고정층 파괴특성을 상호 비교하였으며, 반응 생성기체의 분석으로부터 AgX에 의한 메틸요오드 제거 메커니즘을 제안하였다.

수계에 존재하는 인산염의 흡착제거 용량을 향상시키기 위하여, 참나무 기반 활성탄을 제조하였으며, 이때 $Fe^{3+}$와 $Al^{3+}$이온의 혼합물을 흡착제 표면에 담지 하였다. 금속담지 활성탄의 인산염의 흡착용량은 금속이온으로 표면을 개질 하지 않은 활성탄에 비해 약 8배 높게 나타났다. 흡착평형량은 흡착반응의 온도가 증가할수록 증가하였으며, Langmuir 흡착등온식의 경향과 일치하였다. 제조된 금속담지 활성탄의 인산염 흡착제거공정은 흡열의 자발반응으로 진행되었음을 확인하였다. 흡착공정의 거동과 제거속도를 평가하기 위하여, 세공확산모델을 통해 내부 확산계수를 산출하였으며, 이는 실험결과와 매우 일치하였다.

The methyl iodide (CH₃I) removal performance of tri-ethylene-di-amine impregnated activated carbon (TEDA-AC) used in the air cleaning unit of nuclear power plants (NPPs) should be maintained at least 99% between 24 month-performance test period. In order for evaluating the effectiveness of TEDA-AC on the removal performance of CH₃I in nuclear power plant during the operation of NPPs, the long-term test for up to 15 months was carried out under the simulated operating conditions (e.g., 25 ℃, RH 50%, ppb level poisoning gases injection) at nuclear power plants (NPPs). The TEDA-AC samples were analyzed with the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface area and TEDA content as well as CH₃I penetration test. It is clearly evident that more than 99% of CH₃I removal performance of TEDA-AC was observed in the TEDA-AC samples during 15 months of long-term operation under the simulated NPP operating conditions including the ppb level of organic and oxide form of poisoning gases. BET specific surface area and TEDA content that can affect the CH₃I removal performance of TEDA-AC were also maintained as those in new TEDA-AC during 15 months of long-term operation.

수성 교질법에 의한 제올라이트 합성 과정에서 활성탄을 부가함으로써 제올라이트 결정화 과정에 미치는 영향과 활성탄 기공 내에서의 제올라이트 결정의 담지현상을 조사하였다. A형 제올라이트를 합성하기 위한 몰 조성비로 조절된 알루미노 실리케이트 겔상에 5 wt % 정도의 활성탄을 첨가할 경우에는 그대로 A형 제올라이트가 생성되었으나 15 wt % 정도 첨가할 경우에는 대부분이 X형이고 일부 A형과 P형 제올라이트가 혼재된 상태로 결정화가 일어났으며, 20 wt %이상 첨가할 경우에는 순수한 X형 제올라이트가 생성되었다. 활성탄의 기공 입구와 내부에는 $1{\mu}m$ 이하의 미세한 제올라이트 결정들이 서로 엉겨붙어 있는 형태로 관찰되었으며, 기공분포 및 입도분포 결과로부터 단순히 제올라이트와 활성탄의 혼합물 형태가 아니라 활성탄 기공 내에 미세한 제올라이트 결정들이 담지되어 있는 복합 소재임을 확인하였다.

Fe(III)-impregnated activated carbon (Fe-AC) was applied in the treatment of synthetic wastewater containing Cu(II). To investigate the stability of Fe-AC at acidic condition, dissolution of Fe was studied with a variation of solution pH ranging from 2 to 4. Fe-AC was unstable at pH 2, showing a gradual increase of the dissoluted Fe as reaction time increased, while negligible amount of Fe was dissoluted above pH 3. This stability test suggests the applicability of Fe-AC in the treatment of wastewater above pH 3. Adsorption capacity of Cu(II) onto activated carbon (AC) and Fe-AC was investigated in a batch and a column test. In the adsorption kinetics, rapid adsorption of Cu(II) onto AC and Fe-AC was noted at initial reaction time and then reached a near complete equilibrium after 6 hrs. Adsorption trends of Cu(II) onto AC and Fe-AC were similar, showing an increased Cu(II) adsorption at higher pH. Compared with AC, Fe-AC showed a greater Cu(II) adsorption over the entire pH range studied in this research. From the adsorption isotherm obtained with variation of the concentration of Cu(II), the maximum adsorption capacity was identified as 61,700 mg/kg.
