Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-modified bentonite (EMB) was used for adsorption of zinc ion (Zn) from aqueous solution, compared with unmodified bentonite (UB). Parameters such as dose (0.750 ~ 3.125 g/L), mixing intensity (10 ~ 150 rpm), contact time (0.17 ~ 30 min), pH (2 ~ 7), and temperature (298 ~ 338 K), were studied. Zn removal efficiency for EMB was 20 ~ 30 % higher, than that for UB, in all experiments. Thermodynamic studies demonstrated that adsorption process was spontaneous with Gibb's free energy (${\Delta}G$) values, ranging between -5.211 and -7.175 kJ/mol for EMB, and -0.984 and -2.059 kJ/mol for UB, and endothermic with enthalpy (${\Delta}H$) value of 9.418 kJ/mol for EMB and 7.022 kJ/mol for UB. Adsorption kinetics was found to follow the pseudo-second order kinetics model, and its rate constant was 3.41 for EMB and $2.00g/mg{\cdot}min$ for UB. Adsorption equilibrium data for EMB were best represented by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and calculated maximum adsorption capacity was 2.768 mg/g. It was found that the best conditions for Zn removal of EMB within the range of operation used, were 3.125 g/L dose, 90 rpm intensity, 10 min contact time, pH 4, and 338 K. Therefore, EMB has good potential for adsorption of Zn.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of soil and groundwater environment changed by wildfire on cesium adsorption and transport. Soil samples (A, B) used in the study were collected from Gangwon-do, where wildfires frequently occur, and the adsorption and transport of cesium in the samples were evaluated through batch and column experiments. As a result of the batch adsorption experiments with various concentrations of cesium (C_W ≈ 10~10⁵ ㎍/L), the adsorption distribution coefficient (K_d) of cesium was higher in sample A for all observed concentrations. It means that the adsorption capacity of sample A was higher to that of sample B, which was also confirmed through the parameters of adsorption isotherm models (Freundlich and Langmuir model) applied to the experimental results. The fixed bed column experiments simulated the actual soil and groundwater environment, and they showed that cesium was retarded approximately 43 and 27 times than a nonreactive tracer in sample A and B, respectively. In particular, a significant retardation occurred in the sample A. Although sample A contains little clays, total organic carbon (TOC) contents were 3 times greater than sample B. These results imply that particulate organic matter caused by wildfire might influence the adsorption and transport of cesium in the organic matter-rich soil and groundwater environment.

BACKGROUND: Although the calcined oyster shell can be used as a calcium-rich adsorbent for phosphate removal, information about it is limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the phosphate adsorption characteristics and its mechanism using calcined oyster shells. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, calcined oyster shell (C-OS600) was prepared by calcining oyster shells (P-OS) at 600℃ for 20 min. Phosphate adsorption by C-OS600 was performed under various environmental conditions. Phosphate adsorption by C-OS600 occurred rapidly at the beginning of the reaction, and the time to reach equilibrium was less than 1 h. The optimal isotherm and kinetic models for predicting the adsorption of phosphate by C-OS600 were the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetic model, respectively, and the maximum adsorption capacity derived from the Langmuir isotherm was 68.0 mg/g. The adsorption properties of phosphate by C-OS600 were dominantly influenced by the initial pH and C-OS600 dose. In addition, SEM-EDS and FTIR analysis clearly showed a difference in C-OS600 before and after phosphate adsorption, which proved that phosphate was adsorbed on the surface of C-OS600. CONCLUSION: Overall, the calcined oyster shell can be considered as an useful and effective adsorbent to treat wastewater containing phosphate.

본 연구에서는 Basic Blue 3 (BB3)에 대한 야자계 입상활성탄의 흡착특성을 평가하였다. 입상활성탄의 투여량이 증가함에 따라 BB3의 제거율은 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 0.2 g 투여량에서 초기농도 50 mg/L의 BB3가 완전히 제거되었다. 흡착평형은 초기농도 25 mg/L와 50 mg/L에서 각각 270분과 420분이 소요되었으며, 실험데이터는 유사 2차 속도식으로 잘 묘사되었다. Langmuir 식에서 예측된 최대흡착량은 298, 308, 318 K에서 34.45, 46.63, 53.10 mg/g으로 온도가 증가할수록 증가하였다. 또한, Gibbs 자유에너지 변화(${\Delta}G$)는 온도 증가에 따라 -7.37, -8.19, -10.40 kJ/mol으로 변화하였고, 엔탈피 변화(${\Delta}H$) 및 엔트로피 변화(${\Delta}S$)는 34.47 kJ/mol과 0.15 J/mol K로 계산되었다. 따라서 야자계 입상활성탄에 의한 BB3 흡착은 자발적이고 흡열적이었다.

Sorption of $Ni^{2+}$ in aqueous solution was studied using montmorillonite. The experimental and equilibrium data fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm model. From the kinetics data for nickel sorption onto montmorillonite, the diffusion of $Ni^{2+}$ inside the clay particles was the dorminant step controlling the sorption rate and as such more important for $Ni^{2+}$ sorption than the external mass transfer. $Ni^{2+}$ was sorbed due to strong interactions with the active sites of the sorbent and the sorption process tends to follow the pseudo second-order kinetics. Thermodynamic parameters (${\Delta}G^{\circ},\;{\Delta}H^{\circ},\;{\Delta}S^{\circ}$) indicated a non spontaneous and endothermic adsorption process while the positive low value of the entropy change suggests low randomness of the solid/solution interface during the uptake of $Ni^{2+}$ by montmorilionite. Heavy metals such as $Ni^{2+}$ in aqueous bodies can effectively be sorbed by montmorillonite.

난분해성 및 독성 폐수 처리는 고급산화 기술과 생물학적 처리가 친화결합(intimate coupling) 을 이룰 때 최적의 효과를 거둘 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 광촉매 산화와 생물학적 처리를 친화결합하도록 고안된 다공성 $TiO_2$ 코팅 담체를 제조하여 광촉매 반응에 관한 동력학 연구를 수행하였다. 저온 sol-gel 코팅법으로 제조된 PVA 재질의 다공성 $TiO_2$ 담체는 UV 조사하에서 methylene blue (MB)를 효율적으로 분해하였다. 시험 농도(최대 100 ${\mu}M$)에서 MB의 흡착속도는 1차반응 (first-order reaction)의 성질을 보였으며, 흡착과 산화를 포함한 총반응속도는 유사 Langmuir 모델로 예측 가능하였다. 이러한 원인은 담체 표면에 MB가 흡착됨에 따라 UV 조사에 의하여 광촉매 반응이 일어날 표면이 줄어들었기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 다공성 $TiO_2$ 담체의 단위 $TiO_2$ 량당 최대 MB 제거속도는 슬러리 $TiO_2$ 반응기에서 얻은 MB 제거속도보다 4배 더 빨랐다. 본 연구로 인하여 저온 sol-gel 코팅법으로 제조한 PVA 재질 다공성 $TiO_2$ 담체가 성공적인 광분해 반응을 나타내는 것이 확인되었으며, 동 담체에 대한 광촉매 반응의 동력학적 성질이 구명되어, 향후 생물처리를 친화결합 시킬 수 있는 연구 바탕을 확보하였다.

활성탄을 사용하여 흡착제의 양, pH, 초기농도, 접촉시간과 온도를 흡착변수로 acid green 27 염료의 흡착특성을 조사하였다. 흡착평형자료는 Freundlich와 Langmuir 등온식을 사용하여 해석하였는데, Freundlich 식이 더 좋은 일치도를 나타냈다. 평가된 Freundlich 분리계수(1/n=0.293~0.387)로부터 활성탄에 의한 acid green 27의 흡착조작이 효과적인 처리방법이 될 수 있음을 알았다. 흡착속도실험 결과는 유사이차 반응속도식에 잘 맞았으며, 유사이차속도상수($k_2$)값은 acid green 27 초기농도가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 활성화에너지값(10.457 kJ/mol)과 표준엔탈피변화값(76.946 kJ/mol)으로 흡착공정이 물리흡착이고 흡열반응임을 알았다. 298~318 K 범위에서 Gibbs 자유에너지값은 온도가 올라갈수록 감소하였기 때문에 흡착반응은 온도가 올라갈수록 더 자발적으로 일어났다.

This study investigated the potential of using bottom ash to be used as an adsorbent for the removal of lead (Pb) from aqueous solutions. The physical and chemical characteristics of bottom ash were determined, with a series of leaching and adsorption experiments performed to evaluate the suitability of bottom ash as an adsorbent material. Trace elements were present, such as silicon and aluminum, indicating that the material had a good adsorption capacity. All heavy metals leached during the Korea standard leaching test (KSLT) passed the regulatory limits for safe disposal, while batch adsorption experiments showed that bottom ash was capable of adsorbing Pb (experimental $q_e$ = 0.05 mg/g), wherein the adsorption rate increased with decreasing particle size. The adsorption data were then fitted to kinetic models, including Lagergren first-order and Pseudo-second order, as well as the Elovich equation, and isotherm models, including the Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms. The results showed that pseudo-second order kinetics was the most suitable model for describing the kinetic adsorption, while the Freundlich isotherm best represented the equilibrium sorption onto bottom ash. The maximum sorption capacity and energy of adsorption of bottom ash were 0.315 mg/g and 7.01 KJ/mol, respectively.

Magnetite was chosen as a typical adsorbent to study its phosphate adsorption capacity in water body with low concentration of phosphorus (below $2mg\;PL^{-1}$). Magnetite was collected from Luoyang City, Henan Province, China. In this research, three factors have been studied to describe the adsorption of phosphate on magnetite, which was solution concentration (concentration ranging from 0.1 to $2.5mg\;PL^{-1}$), suspension pH (1 to 13) and temperature (ranging from $10^{\circ}C$ to $40^{\circ}C$). In addition, the modified samples had been characterized with XRD and FE-SEM image. The results show that iron ions contains in magnetite were the main factors of phosphorus removal. The behavior of phosphorus adsorption to substrates could be fitted to both Langmuir and Freundlich isothermal adsorption equations in the low concentration phosphorus water. The theoretical saturated adsorption quantity of magnetite is 0.158 mg/g. pH has great influence on the phosphorus removal of magnetite ore by adsorption. And pH of 3 can receive the best results. While temperature has little effect on it. Magnetite was greatly effective for phosphorus removal in the column experiments, which is a more practical reflection of phosphorous removal combing the adsorption isotherm model and the breakthrough curves. According to the analysis of heavy metals release, the release of heavy metals was very low, they didn't produce the secondary pollution. The mechanism of uptake phosphate is in virtue of chemisorption between phosphate and ferric ion released by magnetite oxidation. The combined investigation of the magnetite showed that it was better substrate for water body with low concentration of phosphorus.
