굴 패각과 같은 반응성 재료는 사용 목적에 적합한 전처리 조건을 선택할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 인 농도 제어를 목적으로 효율적인 굴 패각 사용을 위한 전처리 조건을 제안하는데 목적을 둔다. 굴 패각의 전처리(소성 온도, 소성 시간, 입자 크기)에 따른 인산염 제거 효율을 조사하였다. 또한 XAFS 분석 및 등온 흡착 실험을 통해 굴 패각의 인산염 제거특성에 대해 조사하였다. 실험 결과 소성 온도는 $600^{\circ}C$, 소성 시간은 6 h, 입자 크기는 0.355~0.075 mm에서 우수한 제거 효율을 확인하였다. 등온 흡착 실험 결과 Langmuir 모델이 굴 패각의 흡착에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. XAFS 분석 결과 $600^{\circ}C$에서 소성시킨 굴 패각에는 인산칼슘이 생성된 것이 확인되었다. 즉 굴 패각의 칼슘 이온 용출에 의한 인산칼슘 형성이 인산염의 농도 감소에 기여하고 있음을 확인하였다.

A novel superabsorbent composite was prepared by intercalation polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) in the presence of montmorillonite (MMT), using ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator and $N,N'$-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a cross linker. The superabsorbent composite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Maximum absorbency of the composite in distilled water and 0.9% sodium chloride solution was 722 and 108 g/g, respectively. The composite was used for removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Maximum amount of adsorption for $Ni^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ was 211.0, 159.6 and 1646.0 mg/g, respectively, and the adsorption was in accordance with both Langmuir and Freundlich model. The composite could be regenerated and reused in wastewater treatment.

An increase in population initiating rapid industrialization was found to consequently increase the effluents and domestic wastewater into the aquatic ecosystem. In this research the potentialities of Sambucus nigra L. (SNL) plant in the remediation of water, contaminated with methylene blue (MB), a basic dye were investigated. SNL was chemically impregnated with $KHCO_3$. Operating variables studied were pH, amount of adsorbent and contact time. In general, pH did not have any significant effect on colour removal and the highest adsorption capacity was obtained in 0.035 g MB/g-activated carbon. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms. The adsorption isotherm data were fitted to the Temkin isotherm. The mass transfer property of the sorption process was studied using Lagergren pseudo-first-order and chemisorption pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The sorption process obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The surface area, pores volume and diameter were assessed by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda methods. The results were compared to those from activated carbon (Merck) and an actual sample. The results indicate that SNL can be employed as a natural and eco-friendly adsorbent material for the removal of dye MB from aqueous solutions.

The adsorption of a model protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) in expanded bed chromatography was undertaken by exploiting a commercially available expanded bed column (20 mm i.d.) from UpFront Chromatography and Streamline DEAE $(\rho=1.2g/cm^3)$ from Amersham Pharmacia Biotechnology. The influence of whole yeast cells on the adsorption capacity of column was explored by employing yeast cells in a concentration ranged of 0 to $15\%(w/v)$. Equilibrium isotherms for adsorption of BSA on Streamline DEAE were correlated by using Langmuir equation. The presence of yeast cells resulted in decreased of BSA binding capacity in both batch binding and expanded bed chromatography. Results indicated that the yeast cells act as competitor for proteins to bind to the sites on adsorbents.

Four activated carbons were produced by two-stage process as followings; semi-carbonization of indigenous biomass waste, i.e. cotton stalks, followed by chemical activation with KOH under various activation temperatures and chemical ratios of KOH to semi-carbonized cotton stalks (CCS). The surface area, total pore volume and average pore diameter were evaluated by $N_2$-adsorption at 77 K. The surface morphology and oxygen functional groups were determined by SEM and FTIR, respectively. Batch equilibrium and kinetic studies were carried out by using a basic dye, methylene blue as a probe molecule to evaluate the adsorption capacity and mechanism over the produced carbons. The obtained activated carbon (CCS-1K800) exhibited highly microporous structure with high surface area of 950 $m^2/g$, total pore volume of 0.423 $cm^3/g$ and average pore diameter of 17.8 ${\AA}$. The isotherm data fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm with monolayer adsorption capacity of 222 mg/g for CCS-1K800. The kinetic data obtained at different concentrations were analyzed using a pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion equations. The pseudo-second-order model fitted better for kinetic removal of MB dye. The results indicate that such laboratory carbons could be employed as low cost alternative to commercial carbons in wastewater treatment.

The efficiency of three complex surfactants based on sunflower oil and nitrogen containing compounds as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in $CO_2$-saturated 1% NaCl solution, has been determined by weight loss and LPR corrosion rate measurements. These compounds inhibit corrosion even at very low concentrations. The inhibition process was attributed to the formation of an adsorbed film on the metal surface that protects the metal against corrosive media. The inhibition efficiency increases with increasing the concentration of the studied inhibitors. Maximum inhibition efficiency of the surfactants is observed at concentrations around its critical micellar concentration (CMC). Adsorption of complex surfactants on the mild steel surface is in agreement with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model, and the calculated Gibbs free energy values confirm the chemical nature of the adsorption. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence microscopy (EDRF) observations of the electrode surface confirmed the existence of such an adsorbed film.

Biocarrier beads with dead biomass, Bacillus drentensis, immobilized in polymer polysulfone were synthesized to remove heavy metals from wastewater. To identify the sorption mechanisms and theoretical nature of underlying processes, a series of batch experiments were carried out to quantify the biosorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) by the biocarrier beads. The parameters obtained from the thermodynamic analysis revealed that the biosorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) by biomass immobilized in biocarrier beads was a spontaneous, irreversible, and physically-occurring adsorption phenomenon. Comparing batch experimental data to various adsorption isotherms confirmed that Koble-Corrigan and Langmuir isotherms well represented the biosorption equilibrium and the system likely occurred through monolayer sorption onto a homogeneous surface. The maximum adsorption capacities of the biocarrier beads for Pb(II) and Cu(II) were calculated as 0.3332 and 0.5598 mg/g, respectively. For the entire biosorption process, pseudo-second-order and Ritchie second-order kinetic models were observed to provide better descriptions for the biosorption kinetic data. Application of the intra-particle diffusion model showed that the intraparticle diffusion was not the rate-limiting step for the biosorption phenomena. Overall, the dead biomass immobilized in polysulfone biocarrier beads effectively removed metal ions and could be applied as a biosorbent in wastewater treatment.

The corrosion inhibition of cast iron in 1 M HCl by Phenanthroline (Phen) was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), surface analysis and theoretical calculations. It is found that Phen exhibits high inhibition activity towards the corrosive action of HCl and its adsorption obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The results showed that inhibition efficiency increases with Phen concentration up to a maximum value of 96% at 1.4 mM, and decreases slightly with the increase in temperature. The free adsorption energy value indicates that Phen adsorbs on cast iron surface in 1 M HCl via a simultaneous physisorption and chemisorption mechanism. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and FTIR analysis confirmed the formation of a protective film on cast iron surface, resulting in the improvement of its corrosion resistance in the studied aggressive solution. Quantum chemical calculations at the DFT level were achieved to correlate electronic structure parameters of Phen molecules with their adsorption mode.

Schiff base quinazoline derivative viz., 3-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)amino)-2-methylquinazolin-4(3H)-one (SB-Q), was synthesized in this study. Its corrosion protection impact on mild steel (MS) in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution was examined by performing weight loss measurements. The protective efficacy of SB-Q on MS in 1 M HCl was investigated based on its concentrations, immersion period, and immersion temperature. SB-Q was found to be an efficient inhibitor for the corrosion of MS. Its inhibition efficiency was improved by increasing the concentration of SB-Q to an optimal concentration of 500 ppm. Its inhibition efficacy was 96.3% at 303K. Experimental findings revealed that its inhibition efficiency was increased with increasing immersion time, but decreased with an increase in temperature. The adsorption of SB-Q molecules was followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The adsorption of the examined inhibitor molecules on the surface of mild steel was studied by density functional theory (DFT). DFT investigation confirmed weight loss findings.

세슘은 물속에서 고상보다는 이온이나 착염 등 용존 형태로 존재하는 특성이 강하여, 오염 수계로부터 세슘 제거가 어려운 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근 많은 연구들이 수계 내에서 세슘의 제거효율이 높은 흡착제를 개발하는데 집중하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대나무 활성탄을 흡착제로 사용하여 수계 내에 존재하는 세슘을 효과적으로 제거하는 실내실험을 실시하였다. 수용액으로부터 대나무 활성탄의 세슘 제거효율을 측정하고, 최적의 세슘 제거능을 가지는 흡착 조건을 도출하고자 다양한 조건에서 흡착 배치실험을 수행하였다. 국내에서 유통되고 있는 5 종류의 대나무 활성탄의 표면 특성을 SEM-EDS와 XRD 분석으로 규명하였으며, 이 중에서 비표면적이 큰 3 종류의 대나무 활성탄을 대상으로 세슘 제거 배치실험을 실시하였다. 다양한 초기 세슘 농도를 가지는 인공수(0.01~10 mg/L 범위)를 대상으로 대나무 활성탄에 의한 수용액 내 세슘 제거량을 측정하여 제거효율을 계산하였고, 두 종류의 흡착 등온식들을 흡착 배치실험 결과에 대응시켜 흡착 상수값을 결정함으로서, 대나무 활성탄의 세슘 흡착 특성을 규명하였다. FE-SEM 분석 결과, 대나무 활성탄은 표면이 다수의 기공을 포함하는 대나무의 섬유질 조직을 그대로 유지하는 입자들로 구성되어, 이들 섬유질 조직 내 다양한 형태의 기공들과 엽상조직 표면들이 주요 세슘 흡착공간인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 흡착 배치실험 결과, C type 대나무 활성탄의 세슘 제거효율이 가장 높았는데, 특히 수용액의 세슘 초기 농도가 1.0 mg/L 이하인 경우에도 75 % 이상(최고 82 %)을 나타내어, 원전사고 등에 의해 오염된 현장 지하수나 지표수(해수 포함)의 세슘농도가 대부분 1.0 mg/L 이하임을 고려하면, 실제 오염수 정화 가능성이 높을 것으로 밝혀졌다. 수용액의 온도는 $5-15^{\circ}C$ 범위, pH는 3-11 범위에서 높은 세슘 제거효율이 일정하게 유지되는 것으로 나타나 다양한 오염수에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 흡착 배치실험 결과는 Langmuir 흡착모델과 유사하였으며, C type 대나무 활성탄의 최대흡착농도($q_m:mg/g$)값은 63.4 mg/g으로 기존의 상용화된 흡착제 값보다 높았고, 수용액의 초기 세슘 농도가 1.0 mg/L이하인 경우 표면흡착률(surface coverage) 값도 낮게 유지되어, 적은 양의 세슘으로 오염된 수계를 효과적으로 정화할 수 있음을 입증하였다.
