2 (Langmuir, Freundlich, Elovich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich) and 3 (Sips and Redlich-Peterson)-parameter isotherm models were applied to evaluated for the applicability of adsorption of Cu(II) and/or phosphate isotherm using chitosan bead. Non-linear and linear isotherm adsorption were also compared on each parameter with coefficient of determination (R²). Among 2-parameter isotherms, non-linear Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm showed relatively higher R² and appropriate maximum uptake (q_m) than other isotherm equation although linear Dubinin-Radushkevich obtained highest R². 3-parameter isotherm model demonstrated more reasonable and accuracy results than 2-parmeter isotherm in both non-linear and linear due to the addition of one parameter. The linearization for all of isotherm equation did not increase the applicability of adsorption models when error experiment data was included.

The adsorption of phenolic compound resorcinol on activated carbons prepared from Moringa oleifera (Drumstick bark) has been investigated. Activated carbon was prepared by impregnating Moringa oleifera with 50% phosphoric acid in the ratio of 1:1 and 1:2(w/w), designated as MOAC1 and MOAC2. Equilibrium and isotherm studies were carried out. The influences of variables such as contact time, initial concentration of resorcinol, carbon dosage in the solution on percentage adsorption and adsorption capacity of the bark have been analysed. The equilibration time was found to be 4 h. Kinetics of resorcinol onto activated carbons was checked for pseudo first order and pseudo second order model. It was found that the adsorption of resorcinol follows pseudo second order kinetics for both MOAC1 and MOAC2. The isotherm data were correlated with isotherm models, namely Langmuir and Freundlich. Adsorption isotherms were satisfactorily fitted by both the Langmuir and Freundlich model for MOAC1 and MOAC2.

A POM-membrane was fabricated by immobilizing a keggin type polyoxometalate (POM) H5PV2Mo10O40 onto the surface of microporous flat-sheet polymeric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVFD) membrane using a chemical deposition method. The POM-membrane was characterized by FT-IR, SEM and EDX to confirm existing of the POM onto the membrane surface. The POM-membrane was used to remove an anionic textile dye (Reactive Black 5 named as an RB5) from aqueous phases with a cross-flow membrane filtration and a batch adsorption system. The dye removal efficiency of the POM-membrane using the cross-flow membrane filtration system and the batch adsorption system was about 88% and 98%, respectively. The influence factors such as contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH, and initial dye concentration were investigated to understand the adsorption mechanism of the RB5 dye onto the POM-membrane. To find the best fitting isotherm model, Langmuir, Freundlich, BET and Harkins-Jura isotherm models were used to analyze the experimental data. The isotherm analysis showed that the Langmuir isotherm model was found to the best fit for the adsorption data (R2 = 0.9982, qmax = 24.87 mg/g). Also, adsorption kinetic models showed the pseudo second order kinetic model was found the best model to fit the experimental data (R2 = 0.9989, q = 8.29 mg/g, C0 = 15 ppm). Moreover, after four times regeneration with HNO3 acid, the POM-membrane showed high regenerability without losing dye adsorption capacity.

Zeolite material having XRD peaks of Na-A zeolite in the 2θ range of 7.18 to 34.18 can be synthesized from the waste catalyst using a fusion/hydrothermal method. The adsorption rate of Mn ions by a commercial Na-A zeolite and the synthesized zeolitic material increased as the adsorption temperature increased in the range of 10 ~ 40℃. The adsorption of Mn ion were very rapid in the first 30 min and then reached to the equilibrium state after approximately 60 min. The adsorption kinetics of Mn ions by the commercial Na-A zeolite and the zeolitic material were found to be well fitted to the pseudo-2^nd order kinetic model. Equilibrium data by the commercial Na-A zeolite and the zeolitic material fit the Langmuir, Koble-Corrigan, and Redlich-Peterson isotherm models well rather than Freundlich isotherm model. The removal capacity of the Mn ions by the commercial Na-A zeolite and the zeolitic material obtained from the Langmuir model was 135.2 mg/g and 128.9 mg/g at 30℃, respectively. The adsorption capacity of Mn ions by the synthesized zeolitic material was almost similar to that of commercial Na-A zeolite. The synthesized zeolitic material could be applied as an economically feasible commercial adsorbent.

Iron oxide (ferrihydrite, hematite, and magnetite) coated silica gels were prepared using a low-cost, easily-scalable and straightforward method as the adsorbent material for arsenic removal application. Adsorption of the anionic form of arsenic oxyacids, arsenite ($AsO^{2-}$) and arsenate ($AsO{_4}^{3-}$), onto hematite coated silica gel was fitted against non-linear 3-parameter-model Sips isotherm and 2-parameter-model Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm. Adsorption kinetics of arsenic could be well described by pseudo-second-order kinetic model and value of adsorption energy derived from non-linear Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm suggests chemical adsorption. Although arsenic adsorption process was not affected by the presence of sulfate, chloride, and nitrate anions, as expected, bicarbonate and silicate gave moderate negative effects while the presence of phosphate anions significantly inhibited adsorption process of both arsenite and arsenate. When the actual efficiency to remove arsenic was tested against 1 L of artificial arsenic-contaminated groundwater (0.6 mg/L) in the presence competing anions, the reasonable amount (20 g) of hematite coated silica gel could reduce arsenic concentration to below the WHO permissible safety limit of drinking water of $10{\mu}g/L$ without adjusting pH and temperature, which would be highly advantageous for practical field application.

BACKGROUND: Plastics that are used in our daily lives largely end up in the environment. In agricultural environments, plastic wastes and microplastics can be found due to the uses and improper management of plastic products (e.g., vinyl greenhouses and mulching vinyl). Microplastics can also interact with contaminants in the agricultural environment. Therefore, this study was set to investigate the sorption characteristics of tetracycline, one of widely used antibiotics, on microplastics. METHODS AND RESULTS: The sorption tests were carried out with the tetracycline solutions (0-30 mg L^-1) and microplastic films prepared from low density polyethylene (LDPE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The residual tetracycline concentrations were analyzed and fitted to the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. The tetracycline sorption patterns on LDPE and PVC films were described better with the Freundlich isotherm model than the Langmuir isotherm model. The isotherm model parameters suggested that the maximum sorption amount of tetracyline was greater for PVC, while the sorption affinity was greater for LDPE. CONCLUSION(S): Different types of microplastics can have different sorption characteristics of tetracycline. Therefore, there is a need for continuous research on the interaction of various types and shapes of microplastics and contaminants in the environment.

본 연구에서는 Chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) 와 Lactococcus lactis (L. lac.) 를 흡착제로 사용하여 phthalates의 흡착 실험을 진행하였다. CNPs는 Tripolyphospate (TPP)와의 가교 결합을 통하여 제조되었으며, 제조과정 중에 L. lac.의 도입을 통하여 L. lac.-CNPs를 제조하였다. 모든 흡착제는 Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)을 사용하여 특성을 측정하여 다양한 작용기의 존재를 확인하였다. Adsorption isotherm 과 adsorption kinetic 을 통하여 CNPs, L. lac. 및 L. lac.-CNPs 의 흡착 거동 및 메커니즘을 확인하였다. 모든 입자에 대하여 DBP 및 DEP 의 흡착 거동은 Langmuir adsorption isotherm model 보다는 Freundlich adsorption isotherm model 에 적합하였으며, 이는 입자의 표면이 이질적 (heterogeneous) 라는 것을 의미한다. 흡착 메커니즘은 Pseudo-1st-order model 보다는 Pseudo-2nd-order model 에 적합하였으며, 이는 DBP 및 DEP 의 흡착이 입자 표면의 다양한 작용기들에 의하여 물리적 흡착보다는 정전기적 인력과 수소 결합 등에 의한 화학적 흡착이 지배적임을 나타낸다. 최종적으로, 쉽고 빠른 방법으로 CNPs 및 L. lac-CNPs 의 제조가 가능하며, 유기성 오염 물질을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 저비용의 흡착제로서 사용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The numerical model, FLUENT, was employed to investigate the effect of the heated water discharged from the diffuser of Boryung Power Plant. Temperature patterns of the thermal effluent discharged from two proposed types of the diffusers was evaluated for maximum flood and maximum ebb tide. The hydraulic model experiments were also performed in the reduced scale of 1/150 to verify the numerical simulation results. The buoyant jets discharged from the diffusers were found to be significantly affected by the ambient flows beyond the region where the effluent momentum was dissipated. Both the numerical and experimental results showed that the area of the excess isotherm for Type 1 diffuser was larger than that for Type 2 diffuser. Type 2 diffuser system was observed to be a more effective diffuser design than Type 1 diffuser system based on the temperature reduction and excess isotherm obtained from the numerical simulation in the ambient flows.

수중에서 일어나는 흡착반응에 대해 고전적 Langmuir 등온흡착식에서 고려되고 있지 않은 흡착제 표면에서의 흡착질과 물분자간의 치환과정을 고려한 수정된 Langmuir 등온흡착식을 제시하였다. 활성탄 표면에 대한 $Cd^{2+}$의 흡착을 대상으로 도출된 수정 등온흡착식을 적용한 결과, 흡착특성의 검토 및 반응양상의 해석에 있어 고전적 Langmuir 등온흡착식에 비해 그 적용성이 향상되는 것으로 파악되었다. 이에 의거하여 Langmuir 모델을 따르는 흡착계에 있어 제시된 수정 등온흡착식을 적용할 경우, 공정의 설계 및 운영과정에서 보다 정밀하고 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

실로퓨트를 이용한 식물세포 Taxus chinensis 유래 주요 타르성분인 2-피콜린 흡착 실험을 수행하였다. 2-피콜린 초기농도, 흡착 온도 및 시간을 달리한 회분식 흡착 평형 데이터를 Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich 등온흡착식에 적용하였다. 실로퓨트를 이용한 2-피콜린의 흡착은 Langmuir 흡착등온식에 가장 적합함을 알 수 있었다. 흡착온도가 증가함에 따라 흡착용량이 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 실로퓨트를 이용한 2-피콜린 흡착 공정이 적합함을 알 수 있었다. 동역학적 해석을 통하여 본 흡착 공정은 유사 이차 반응속도식에 잘 따름을 알 수 있었으며, 입자 내 확산과 경계층 확산이 율속 단계에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. 열역학적 해석을 통해 흡착 과정이 발열이며, 비가역적 비자발적으로 수행되었다. 흡착량이 증가함에 따라 등량흡착열은 감소하는 경향을 보여 흡착제의 표면 에너지가 불균일함을 알 수 있었다.
