A faujasite NaY zeolite membrane was prepared on a tubular ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ support by the secondary growth process, and effects of permeation test conditions on the $CO_2/N_2$ separation were investigated. A NaY zeolite membrane with good $CO_2/N_2$ separation was successfully synthesized by using the hydrothermal solution ($Al_2O_3:SiO_2:Na_2O:H_2O$ = 1:6:14:840 in a molar base): at a permeation temperature of $30^{\circ}C$, its $CO_2$ permeance and $CO_2/N_2$ separation factor were $2.5{\times}10^{-7}mol/m^2secPa$ and 34, respectively. The $CO_2$ and $N_2$ permeations were highly dependent on permeation test conditions (feed composition, feeding rate, feed pressure, He sweeping rate and permeation temperature). The results indicated that (i) $CO_2$ and $N_2$ permeations through NaY zeolite membrane are governed by surface and micropore diffusions, respectively, (ii) the preparation of NaY zeolite membrane with a large permeating area is one of the most difficult hurdles for its real applications, and (iii) the retardation of $N_2$ permeation is an effective key to improve $CO_2/N_2$ separation factor in NaY zeolite membrane.

본 논문은 배연가스로부터 이산화탄소를 흡착 회수하기 위한 허니컴 흡착소자 및 공정에 관한 것이다. 세라믹섬유와 Na-X를 주원료로 제올라이트 종이를 제조하였다. 제올라이트 종이의 이산화탄소 흡착능을 향상시키기 위해서 $Li^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $K^+$ 이온교환 및 추가적인 표면코팅을 실시하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. $Li^+$ 이온교환 방법은 이산화탄소 흡착능을 가장 많이 증가시켰지만 공정적용이 가능할 만큼의 흡착능 변화를 보이지 않았다. 반면 Na-X의 추가적인 표면코팅은 이산화탄소 흡착능을 증가시키는 효율적인 방법이었다. 제올라이트 종이를 성형하여 만든 허니컴형 흡착소자에 대한 이산화탄소 흡착파과 특성을 분석하였으며, 이의 결과로서 회전식 이산화탄소 흡착 농축공정의 적용 예를 보여주었다.

Low Silica X (LSX) 제올라이트를 합성하여 질소 흡착 반응에 적용하였으며, 기존의 상용화된 질소흡착용 제올라이트와 질소 흡착 성능 및 그 특성을 비교하였다. LSX 제올라이트의 제조 변수로 젤 상태에서의 $Na_2O/(Na_2O+K_2O)$비와 결정화 시간을 고려하였다. $Na_2O/(Na_2O+K_2O)$ 비가 0.75일 때 LSX 제올라이트가 합성됨을 XRD, SEM 분석으로부터 확인하였다. 합성된 LSX 제올라이트는 같은 faujasite 구조를 갖는 NaY나 NaX 제올라이트보다 Si/Al 비가 작고 거의 1에 수렴함을 XRF와 FT-IR 결과로부터 확인하였다. 1A(Li, Na, K), 2A(Mg, Ca, Ba) 족 양이온으로 교환된 LSX 제올라이트에 대해 질소 흡착 테스트를 수행한 결과, 양이온의 전하밀도가 증가할수록 질소 흡착량이 증가하였으며, LiLSX의 경우 질소 흡착량이 가장 많았다. LiLSX의 $Li^+$ 이온 함량을 변화시켜 가며 질소 흡착량을 측정한 결과 Li/Al 비가 0.65 이상일 때, 질소 흡착량이 급격히 증가하였다. $Li^+$ 이온은 제올라이트 세공 내의 supercage(site III, III') 에 위치할 때, 질소 흡착점의 역할을 하였다. LiLSX 제올라이트에 $Ca^{2+}$ 이온을 이온교환시킨 결과 질소 흡착 성능이 더 향상되었는데, Ca/Al의 비가 0.26일 때 질소 흡착 성능이 가장 좋았다. LiCaLSX(Ca/Al=0.26) 제올라이트는 기존의 상용 NaX 제올라이트보다 질소 흡착 성능이 우수하였다.

Well-shaped NaA zeolite cubic crystals of a large size of $5-7{\mu}m$ were synthesized by a hydrothermal method in a mother solution having a $3.55Na_2O:Al_2O_3:1.6SiO_2:593\~2000H_2O$ composition. Thermal treatment of NaA zeolite crystals resulted in the formation of a crystalline phase of $NaAlSiO_4-Camegeite$ between 800 and $900^{\circ}C$. Even at $1000^{\circ}C,\;NaAlSiO_4$ phase was found as a major product. Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), X-Ray powder Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and DTA/TGA and BET analyses were used to characterize the initial materials and the obtained products after various heat treatments.

To develop a Mg-Zeolite for simultaneous recovery of the N and the P from sewage water, the natural zeolite was treated with 20% $MgCl_2$ solution by changing the pH the temperature and the treating time of the solution. And the contents of Ca Fe Na K Mg of Mg-Zeolite were analyzed by ICP. The optimum treatment condition for Mg-Zeolite was induced to pH 7.0 $50^{\circ}C$ in 20% $MgCl_2$ solution and for 80min treatment. And the Na and the K ions in natural zeolite are significant factors for Mg exchange in the zeolite.

The removal performances of divalent heavy metal ions ($Pb^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Cd^{2+}$, $Sr^{2+}$ and $Mn^{2+}$) were studied using the Na-P1 zeolite synthesized from Jeju scoria in the batch and continuous fixed column reactor. The uptakes of heavy metal ions by synthetic Na-P1 zeolite decreased in the order of $Pb^{2+}$ > $Cu2^{2+}$ > $Cd^{2+}$ > $Sr^{2+}$ > $Mn^{2+}$ based on the selectivity of each ion to ionic exchange site of Na-P1 zeolite for single and mixed solutions in batch or continuous fixed column reactor. For mixed solution, each heavy metal ion uptake was lower than that in single solution, and especially the uptake for $Mn^{2+}$ decreased greatly. In batch reactor, the uptakes of heavy metal ions by synthetic Na-P1 zeolite were described by Freundlich or Langmuir equation, but they followed the former better than the latter. In continuous fixed column reactor, the maximum ion exchange capacity obtained for each of heavy metal ions, was about 90----- of that in batch reactor. The uptakes of heavy metal ions by synthetic Na-P1 zeolite increased with the increase of initial heavy metal concentration and solution pH, and the decrease of the amount and particle size of synthetic zeolite.

Synthetic zeolite A was prerared from domestic Hadong kaolin with sodium hydroxide solution and their ion exchange isotherms of $K^+$, $NH^{4+}$, $Li^+$ and $Ag^+$ ion were presented. The optimum reaction conditions for synthetic zeolite A from calcinated kaolin were 2 fold excess of 2N sodium hydroxide solution, 10$0^{\circ}C$ and 8 hours. It was observed that before the crystallization of zeolite A the samples reacted with sodium hydroxide solution had rather higher ion exchange capacities than zeolite A. The $K^+$-$Na^+$ and $Ag^+$$Na^+$ ion exchange isotherms were signoidal. The initial selectivity series was in the order $Ag^+$$K^+$>$Na^+$>$NH_4$>$Li^+$. Between approximately 33 and 67% replacement of soium ions the selectivity series became $Na^>$ and above 67% became $Ag^+$>$K^+$. Evidence were also presented to demonstrate that 8 out of 12 sodium ions per pseudo unit cell were not easily replaceable by lithium ions and 4 out of 12 not easily replaceable by ammonium ions.

A high quality Na-X zeolite membrane was synthesized on a seeded ${\alpha}-alumina$ disc by the secondary growth method. Structural characterization was done by X-ray spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM and AFM imaging. The performance evaluation of the membrane was firstly tested in separation of glucose/water solutions by pervaporation process. There was obtained a separation factor $182.7{\pm}8.8$, while the flux through the membrane was $3.6{\pm}0.3kg\;m^{-2}\;h^{-1}$. The zeolite membrane was then used for desalination of aqueous solutions consisting of $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Cs^+$ and $Sr^{2+}$ because of the importance of these ions in water and wastewater treatments. The effects of some parameters such as temperature and solution concentration on the desalination process were studied for investigating of diffusion/adsorption mechanism in membrane separation. Finally, high water fluxes ranged from 2 up to $9kg\;m^{-2}\;h^{-1}$ were obtained and the rejection factors were resulted more than 95% for $Na^+$ and $Ca^{2+}$ and near to 99% for $Cs^+$ and $Sr^{2+}$. Based on the results, fluxes were significantly improved due to convenient passage of water molecules from large pores of NaX, while the fouling was declining dramatically. Based on the results, NaX zeolite can efficiently use for the removal of different cations from wastewaters.

The adsorption of lithium ion onto zeolite was investigated depending on contact time, initial concentration, cation forms, pH, and adsorption isotherms by employing batch adsorption experiment. The zeolite was converted into different forms such $K^+$, $Na^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, and $Al^{3+}$. The zeolite had the higher adsorption capacity of lithium ion in $K^+$ form followed by $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, and $Al^{3+}$ forms, which was in accordance with their elctronegativities. The lithium ion adsorption was explained using the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption isotherms and kinetic models. Adsorption rate of lithium ion by zeolite modified in $K^+$ form was controlled by pseudo-second-order and particle diffusion kinetic models. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained from Langmuir isotherm was 17.0 mg/g for zeolite modified in $K^+$ form. The solution pH influenced significantly the lithium ions adsorption capacity and best results were obtained at pH 5-10.
