In situ nitrogen doped hard carbon nanotubes (NHCNT) were fabricated by pyrolyzing tubular nitrogen doped conjugated microporous polymer. KOH activated NHCNT (K-NHCNT) were also prepared to improve their porous structure. XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, XPS, Raman spectra, $N_2$ adsorption-desorption, galvanostatic charging-discharge, cyclic voltammetry and EIS were used to characterize the structure and performance of NHCNT and K-NHCNT. XRD and Raman spectra reveal K-NHCNT own a more disorder carbon. SEM indicate that the diameters of K-NHCNT are smaller than that of NHCNT. TEM and EDS further indicate that K-NHCNT are hollow carbon nanotubes with nitrogen uniformly distributed. $N_2$ adsorption-desorption analysis reveals that K-NHCNT have an ultra high specific surface area of $1787.37m^2g^{-1}$, which is much larger than that of NHCNT ($531.98m^2g^{-1}$). K-NHCNT delivers a high reversible capacity of $918mAh\;g^{-1}$ at $0.6A\;g^{-1}$. Even after 350 times cycling, the capacity of K-NHCNT cycled after 350 cycles at $0.6A\;g^{-1}$ is still as high as $591.6mAh\;g^{-1}$. Such outstanding electrochemical performance of the K-NHCNT are clearly attributed by its superior characters, which have great advantages over those commercial available carbon nanotubes ($200-450mAh\;g^{-1}$) not only for its desired electrochemical performance but also for its easily and scaling-up preparation.

활성탄에 의한 Brilliant Green(BG), Quinoline Yellow(QY) 염료의 흡착에 대한 등온선, 동력학, 열역학적 특성치와 경쟁흡착을 흡착제의 양, pH, 초기농도, 접촉시간 및 온도를 변수로 하여 수행하였다. BG와 QY는 가지고 있는 atomic nitrogen 이온(N⁺)의 영향으로 pH 11에서 92.4%의 최고 흡착율을 나타내었고, QY는 sulfite 이온(SO₃^-)의 영향으로 pH3에서 90.9%의 최고 흡착률을 나타냈다. 등온흡착 데이터로부터, BG의 경우는 Freundlich 등온식에 잘 맞아서 다분자층 흡착이었고, QY는 Langmuir 등온식이 가장 높은 일치도를 나타내어 주로 단분자층흡착이었다. Freundlich 식과 Langmuir 식의 분리계수는 활성탄에 의해 이들 염료를 효과적으로 처리할 수 있는 공정임을 나타냈다. Temkin 등온식에 의해 평가된 흡착 에너지는 활성탄에 의한 BG와 QY의 흡착이 물리 흡착임을 확인시켰다. 동력학적 실험결과는 유사 이차 반응속도식이 유사일차 반응속도식보다 일치도가 높았고 평형흡착량에 대한 오차도 더 작았다. 입자내 확산식을 이용하여 도시한 그래프는 2단계의 직선으로 나타났는데 기울기가 낮은 입자내 확산이 율속단계임을 확인하였다. 흡착공정의 활성화 에너지와 엔탈피 변화는 흡착과정이 비교적 수월하게 일어나며 흡열반응임을 나타냈다. 엔트로피 변화는 활성탄에 대한 BG와 QY 염료의 흡착이 진행됨에 따라 흡착시스템의 무질서도가 증가함을 나타냈고, Gibbs 자유 에너지 변화로 부터 흡착반응이 온도가 높아질수록 자발성이 더 커진다는 것을 알았다. 혼합용액의 경쟁흡착 결과는 상대적으로 흡착률이 높은 QY가 BG에 의해 큰 방해를 받아 흡착률이 크게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

고정층 반응기에서 비산재로부터 합성한 제올라이트와 4종류의 활성탄을 사용하여 질소 기류에서 아세톤, 벤젠, 톨루엔, 에틸벤젠 증기의 파과곡선을 측정하였다. 흡착실험은 101.3 kPa, $40^{\circ}C$에서 혼합 가스의 유량 $70cm^3/min$, 흡착제의 공급량 5 g, 그리고 VOCs 증기의 농도는 포화조의 온도를 $30^{\circ}C$로 하여 행하였다. 실험으로부터 얻은 파과곡선의 비선형해석으로부터 VOCs의 흡착과 흡착제의 비활성화를 동시에 고려한 비활성모델의 흡착속도상수와 비활성속도상수를 구하여 문헌의 다른 흡착등온모델과 비교하였다. 검토한 모델 중 비활성모델이 실험결과와 가장 일치하였고 다음으로 Freundlich, DRK 모델 순으로 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 또한 파과곡선으로부터 구한 흡착제의 흡착용량은 VOC의 끓는점이 증가할수록 감소하였으며, 증기압이 증가할수록 증가하였다.

Ordered mesoporous silica (MCM-41) materials with different textural properties were prepared using alkyl (dodecyl, cetyl, eicosane) trimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB, CTAB, ETAB, respectively) as structure directing surfactants, functionalized with amine groups and used as adsorbent for the toxic metal ions, Cr (VI), As (V), Pb (II) and Hg (II). Amino functionalization of mesoporous MCM-41 was achieved by cocondensation of N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)-propyl] aniline with tetraethyl orthosilicate. Adsorption isotherm and adsorption capacity of the amine functionalized materials for Cr (VI), As (V), Pb (II) and Hg (II) ions were followed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Results demonstrate that amine functionalized MCM-41 prepared with ETAB showed higher adsorption capacity for Cr (VI), As (V), Pb (II) and Hg (II) ions in comparison to MCM-41 prepared with CTAB and DTAB. The higher adsorption capacity for MCM-41(ETAB) was correlated with amine content in the material (determined by CHN analysis) and relative decrease in pore volume and pore diameter. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, nitrogen adsorptiondesorption measurements and Fourier Transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) were used to follow the changes in the textural parameters and surface properties of the mesoporous materials as a result of amine functionalization to correlate with the adsorption characteristics. The adsorption process was found to depend on the pH of the medium.

Bagasse fly ash (BFA) is one of the important wastes generated in the sugar industry; it has been studied as a prospective low-cost adsorbent in the removal of congo red (CR) from aqueous solutions. Chemical treatment with $H_2O_2$ was applied in order to modify the adsorbability of the raw BFA. Batch studies were performed to evaluate the influence of various experimental parameters such as dye solution pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, and temperature. Both the adsorbents were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrophotometer and nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. Equilibrium isotherms for the adsorption of CR were analyzed by Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin models using non-linear regression technique. Intraparticle diffusion seems to control the CR removal process. The obtained experimental data can be well described by Langmuir and also followed second order kinetic models. The calculated thermodynamic parameters indicate the feasibility of the adsorption process for the studied adsorbents. The results indicate that BFA can be efficiently used for the treatment of waste water containing dyes.

Removal of methyl mercaptan was investigated using adsorption on virgin activated carbon (VAC) and modified activated carbons with acidic chemicals in the present work. CAC, NAC, AAC and SAC were represented as activated carbons modified with HCI, HNO$_{3}$, CH$_{3}$COOH and H$_{2}$S0$_{4}$ ,respectively The pore structures were evaluated using nitrogen isotherm. The surface properties of virgin activated carbon and modified activated carbons were characterized by EA, pH of carbon surface and acid value from Boehm titration. The modification of activated carbon with acidic chemicals resulted in a decrease in BET surface area, micropore volume and surface pH, but an increase in acid value. The order of the adsorption capacity of activated carbons was NAC>AAC>SAC>CAC>VAC, and in agreement with that of acid value of activated carbons, whereas in disagreement with that of micropore volume of activated carbons. It appeared that chemical adsorption played an important role in methyl mercaptan on modified activated carbons with acidic chemicals compared to virgin activated carbon. Modifying activated carbon with acidic chemicals enabled to significantly enhance removal of methyl mercaptan.

The performance of five kind adsorbents, which can reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) from the diesel engine occupying 85% of the fishing boat, was carried out and the emission reduction filter was manufactured and evaluated in the adsorption efficiency of the emission gas for 240 KW diesel portable generator. As a NOx emission filter made of mordenite which has an excellent cation exchange capacity was manufactured by ball type adsorbents having excellent specific surface area. The adsorption efficiency of mordenite material applying the emission reduction filter began to show up at the operating time 10 minutes in comparison with the activated carbon and zeolite materials, and it was exposed to continue until 100% capability with passing by 20 minutes. So the adsorption efficiency of the NOx reduction filter consistently maintained at the averaged 80%.

흡착제의 흡착특성인 흡착표면적과 세공크기를 수정진동자를 이용하여 측정하는 방법을 제안하고 그 성능을 조사하였다. 액체질소를 활용하는 기존의 방법에 비해 상온에서 이산화탄소를 이용하기 때문에 장치가 소형이고, 조작이 간편하며 짧은 흡착시간 내 측정이 가능한 이점을 가지고 있다. 마이크로 입자의 카본 크라오젤과 대나무 활성탄에 대해 흡착특성을 측정한 측정치를 흡착능 측정기로 측정한 측정치와 비교한 결과 메조세공의 흡착제에 대해서는 유효한 측정치가 얻어진 반면 마이크로 세공의 입자에서는 다소 큰 오차를 나타내었다.

A copper-based metal organic framework (MOF) named Cu-BTC, also known as HKUST-1, was successfully synthesized by using a solvothermal method. The properties of the Cu-BTC sample were characterized with Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) for phase structure, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for thermal stability, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for crystal structure, and Nitrogen adsorption-desorption for pore textural structure. The analysis results displayed that the Cu-BTC sample exhibited a good crystal structure with uniform size of octahedral particles. The BET data revealed a high surface area of $1457 \;m^2g^{-1}$ and a pore volume of $0.60\; cm^3g^{-1}$. The Cu-BTCs ample was also studied for $CO_2$ adsorption and exhibited a maximum $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of 170 mg/g of the sorbent (3.8 mol/kg) at $25^{\circ}C$.
