Water pollution means that the physical, chemical and biological properties of water are changing. In this study, adsorption was chosen as the treatment method because it is an eco-friendly and low cost approach. Magnetite is a magnetic material that can synthesize chemical precipitation. Magnetite was used for the removal of copper in artificial water samples. For this purpose, metal removal from water dependent on the pH, initial concentration of metal, amount of adsorbent and effect of sorption time were investigated. Magnetite was characterized using XRD, SEM and particle size distribution. The copper ions were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. The adsorption of copper on the magnetite was studied in a batch process, with different aqueous solutions of Cu (II) at concentrations ranging from 10 to $50mg\;l^{-1}$. Optimum conditions for using magnetite were found to be concentration of $10mg\;L^{-1}$, pH: 4.5, contact time: 40 min. Optimum adsorbent was found to be 0.3 gr. Furthermore, adsorption isotherm data were analyzed using the Langmuir and Freundlich equations. The adsorption data fitted well with the Freundlich ($r^2=0.9701$) and Langmuir isotherm ($r^2=0.9711$) equations. Kinetic and equilibrium aspects of the adsorption process were studied. The time-dependent Cu (II) adsorption data were described well by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

The present study set out to investigate the adsorption of Cd(II) ions in an aqueous solution by using Peanut Husk Biochar (PHB). An FT-IR analysis revealed that the PHB contained carboxylic and carbonyl groups, O-H carboxylic acids, and bonded-OH groups, such that it could easily adsorb heavy metals. The adsorption of Cd(II) using PHB proved to be a better fit to the Langmuir isotherm than to the Freundlich isotherm. The maximum Langmuir adsorption capacity was 33.89 mg/g for Cd(II). The negative value of ${\Delta}G^o$ confirm that the process whereby Cd(II) is adsorbed onto PHB is feasible and spontaneous in nature. In addition, the value of ${\Delta}G^o$ increase with the temperature, suggesting that a lower temperature is more favorable to the adsorption process. The negative value of ${\Delta}H^o$ indicates that the adsorption phenomenon is exothermic while the negative value of ${\Delta}S^o$ suggests that the process is enthalpy-driven. As an alternative to commercial activated carbon, PHB could be used as a low-cost and environmentally friendly adsorbent for removing Cd(II) from aqueous solutions.

The adsorption characteristics of Cu ions were studied using the zeolite Na-A synthesized from Jeju volcanic rocks. The effects of various operating parameters such as initial concentration of Cu ions, contact time, solution pH, and solution temperature were investigated in batch experiments. The adsorption of Cu ions by Na-A zeolite was fitted well by pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity determined using the Langmuir isotherm model was 152.95 mg/g. In addition, the adsorption of Cu ions by zeolite Na-A was primarily controlled by particle diffusion model in comparison with the film diffusion model. As the temperature increased from 303 K to 323 K, ${\Delta}G^o$ decreased from -2.22 kJ/mol to -3.41 kJ/mol, indicating that the adsorption of Cu ions by Na-A zeolite is spontaneous process.

This study was carried out for characterization of MIO synthesized in our laboratory by co-precipitation method and applied isotherm and kinetic models for adsorption properties. XRD analysis were conducted to find crystal structure of synthesized MIO. Further SEM and XPS analysis was performed before and after phosphate adsorption, and BET analysis for surface characterization. Phosphate stock solution was prepared by KH2PO4 for characterization of phosphate adsorption, and batch experiment was conducted using 50 ml conical tube. Langmuir and Freundlich models were applied based on adsorption equilibrium test of MIO by initial phosphate solution. Pseudo first order and pseudo second order models were applied for interpretation of kinetic model by temperature. Surface area and pore size of MIO were found $89.6m^2/g$ and 16 nm respectively. And, the determination coefficient ($R^2$) value of Langmuir model was 0.9779, which was comparatively higher than that of Freundlich isotherm model 0.9340.

The adsorption characteristics of Sr ions and Cs ions in single and binary solution by zeolite A were investigated in batch experiment. The adsorption rate of Sr ions and Cs ions by zeolite A obeyed pseudo-second-order kinetic model in single and binary solution. The initial adsorption rates (h) and adsorption capacities of both ions obtained from pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the values were decreased with increasing concentration of the competitive ions (0~1.5 mM). Also, adsorption isotherm data in binary solution were well fitted to the extended Langmuir model, the maximum adsorption capacities of Sr and Cs calculated from the model were 1.78 mmol/g and 1.64 mmol/g, respectively. The adsorption of Sr and Cs ions by zeolite A was carried out in the presence of other cations such as $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$. The results showed that the zeolite A can maintain a relatively high adsorption capacity for Sr and Cs ions and exhibits a high selectivity in the presence of competitive cations. The effect of competition had an order of $Ca^{2+}$ > $K^+$ > $Mg^{2+}$ > $Na^+$ for Sr ions and $K^+$ > $Ca^{2+}$ > $Na^+$ > $Mg^{2+}$ for Cs ions at the same cation concentration.

폐수중 중금속 이온을 제거하기 위한 방법으로 키토산 비드에 의한 금속 이온의 고정층 흡착 특성을 조사하였다. 게껍질로부터 키틴을 추출하고 이를 탈아세틸화 반응시켜 키토산을 제조하였다. 키토산은 비드로 만들어 중금속 흡착제로 사용하였다. 키토산 비드에 대한 $Cu^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$ 이온의 단성분 평형 흡착 실험 결과로부터 Freundlich와 Langmuir 흡착등온식을 결정하였다. 흡착등온식에 의하면 키토산 비드에 대한 중금속 이온의 흡착 세기는 $Cu^{2+}$>$Co^{2+}$>$Ni^{2+}$의 순서로 나타났다. 키토산 비드에 대한 중금속 이온의 단성분 또는 다성분계 고정층 흡착 실험으로부터 흡착 파과곡선을 구하였다. 단성분 흡착등온식으로 다성분 흡착 평형을 예측할 수 있는 IAS (ideal adsorbed solution) 이론을 적용하여 LDFA (linear driving force approximation)에 의한 고정층 흡착 모델식을 수치해 기법으로 모사하여 실험결과와 비교하였다. LDFA에 의한 모델식을 적용한 결과 키토산 비드에 대한 중금속 이온의 단성분 및 다성분계 고정층 흡착거동을 잘 모사할 수 있었다.

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.

산업체에서 많이 사용되는 연소공정은 배가스 성분의 회수나 제거를 필요로 한다. 최근에는 배가스로부터 이산화탄소를 회수하기 위해 제올라이트 13X를 사용하는 MBA(이동상흡착) 공정이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 제올라이트 13X에 대한 이산화탄소, 질소, 이산화황 및 수증기의 흡착 실험을 수행하여 흡착평형 및 고체입자 안으로의 흡착속도를 조사하였다. 여러 실험온도에서의 흡착데이터를 Langmuir, Toth, Freundlich 등온흡착식에 적용하여 각 흡착등온식의 파라미터를 구했고, 이론식에 의한 예측값과 실험데이터가 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 이산화황과 수증기가 불순물로 존재할 경우에 주성분인 이산화탄소의 흡착량을 측정하였다. 이성분 흡착 데이터는 순수 성분에 대해 얻어진 파라미터를 extended Langmuir 등온흡착식에 적용하여 예측한 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 다만, $H_2O$ 불순물이 대략 ${\sim}10^{-5}H_2O\;mol/g$ zeolite 13X 이하 존재할 때에는 $CO_2$ 흡착량이 순수 $CO_2$의 흡착보다 오히려 소량 증가하는 현상이 관찰되었다. 실험으로 측정한 흡착속도를 구형 입자 확산모델에 적용하여 이산화탄소, 이산화황, 질소, 수분의 확산계수와 활성화에너지를 구했다. 미량의 불순물이 흡착되어있을 때는 이산화탄소나 이산화황의 확산계수가 줄어들었다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 파라미터 값들은 실제 흡착공정의 설계에 유용할 것이다.
