$Li^+$ and $H^+$ co-exchanged LSXs (Li-H-LSX) with various ratios of $Li^+$ and $H^+$ were prepared, and those adsorption characteristics of nitrogen and oxygen were compared with Li-Na-LSX and Li-Ca-LSX. Li-H-LSX showed higher nitrogen capacity and selectivity than that of Li-Na-LSX in the wide range of Li-exchanged ratio. The nitrogen capacity of Li-Ca-LSX was slightly higher than that of fully Li- or Ca-exchanged LSX (Li- LSX or Ca-LSX). However, Li-Ca-LSX showed low nitrogen/oxygen adsorption selectivity until the Li content reached about 80%, which was a tendency near that of Ca-LSX.

This study proposes the use of a cobalt-based Prussian blue analogue (Co-PBA; potassium cobalt hexacyanoferrate), as an adsorbent for the cost-effective recovery of aqueous ammonium ions. The characterization of Co-PBA involved various techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis, and zeta potential. The prepared Co-PBA reached an adsorption equilibrium for ammonium ions within approximately 480 min, which involved both surface adsorption and subsequent diffusion into the interior. The isotherm experiment revealed a maximum adsorption capacity of 37.29 mg/g, with the Langmuir model indicating a predominance of chemical monolayer adsorption. Furthermore, the material consistently demonstrated adsorption efficiency across a range of pH conditions. Notably, adsorption was observed even when competing cations were present. Co-PBA emerges as a readily synthesized adsorbent, underscoring its efficacy in ammonium removal and selectivity toward ammonium.

A facile method for the preparation of nitrogen-doped microporous carbon via the pyrolysis of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) using polypyrrole (PPy) as a selective nitrogen source was developed. A PVDF/PPy-800 sample (carbonized at $800^{\circ}C$) with a 1:0.5 ratio of PVDF and PPy exhibited the highest micropore volume. The activated microporous carbon materials obtained from PVDF/PPy-800 prepared at $800^{\circ}C$ with KOH possessed a large specific surface area and narrow pore-size distribution. They were characterized using $N_2$ adsorption at 77 K and argon (Ar) adsorption at 87 K, which allowed for the characterization of the narrow microporosity of the prepared materials due to the absence of interactions between Ar and the sample surface. In addition, the activated microporous carbon material with a KOH/carbon ratio of 2:1 was found to exhibit the largest specific surface area ($1296m^2g^{-1}$ in $N_2$ at 77 K) and microporosity, and a high specific capacitance ($122.8F\;g^{-1}$).

산소 PSA용 흡착제의 제조를 위하여 표면적이 큰 제올라이트 X형 흡착제를 합성하고 양이온교환을 통하여 질소의 선택적 흡착 능력이 우수한 흡착제로 제조하였다. 제올라이트 X형 흡착제는 50 L급 대형 반응기에서 $SiO_2\;:\;Na_2O\;:\;H_2O\;:\;Al_2O_3$ = 2.5 : 3.5 : 150 : 1의 조성으로 $98^{\circ}C$, 18 h 동안 반응한 결과 표면적이 $650m^2/g$ 이상의 표면적을 나타내었다. 흡착제의 양이온교환은 Li, Ag, Ca, Br, Sr 등의 금속 이온을 대상으로 조사하였다. Ag 이온의 이온교환 속도가 가장 빠르게 일어났으며 모든 금속 이온이 제올라이트 X형에 포함된 Na 이온과 거의 당량적으로 이온 교환이 일어남을 알 수 있었다. 양이온 교환된 제올라이트 X형 흡착제의 질소와 산소의 흡착 성능을 $10{\sim}40^{\circ}C$, 0~9 atm의 범위에서 측정한 결과 이온교환을 하지 않은 NaX 흡착제에 비하여 월등히 높은 흡착 성능을 나타내었으며 이온 교환된 제올라이트 X형 흡착제의 질소 흡착량은 0.5 atm 이하의 저압에서는 Ag > Li > Ca > Sr > Ba > K 이온의 순으로 나타났으나 1 atm 이상의 고압에서는 Li > Ag > Ca > Sr > Ba > K 이온의 순으로 나타났다. 공기의 조성에 준하는 질소 및 산소의 분압에서 흡착량의 비를 조사하여 질소/산소 분리도를 측정한 결과 $20^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 Li으로 이온 교환된 흡착제의 분리도는 13.023을 나타내었다.

Adsorption is a plausible technology using solid adsorbents for dry capture of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$). In general, narrow size distribution of tiny pores and surface chemical functionalities of solid adsorbents enhance the adsorption capacity of gaseous $CO_2$ molecules. In order to utilize the advantages of fibrous adsorbents, this work prepared activated carbon nanofibers (ACNFs) via the electrospinning process using a polymer precursor of polyacylonitrile (PAN). The spun fibers were 390 nm to 580 nm in thickness with an average surface area of $27.3m^2/g$. The surface structure was improved by a programmed thermal activation at $800^{\circ}C$ in $CO_2$ atmosphere. It was also found that the nitrogen-groups including pyrrole and pyridine were created during the activation facilitaing the selective adsorption as forming enhanced active sites. The finally obtained adsorption capacities were 2.74 mmol/g for pure $CO_2$ flow and 0.74mmol/g for 3000 ppm.

높은 농도의 질산염을 포함하는 물은 인간의 건강을 위협하고 부영양화의 원인이 되기 때문에 제한 농도 이하로 처리되어야 한다. 그러나 질산염은 수용액에서의 높은 용해도로 인해 응집, 여과 및 침전과 같은 일반적인 처리공정으로는 제거가 거의 불가능하다. 따라서 흡착, 이온교환, 역삼투, 탈질과 전기투석과 같은 다른 기술이 질산염의 효과적인 제거를 위해 요구된다. 이들 각 기술은 비용, 수질 개선 정도, 잔류물 처리와 전처리 요구와 같은 인자의 비중에 따라 장점과 단점과 가능성을 가지고 있다. 흡착은 가격 효율성, 운전의 용이성과 설계의 간편성으로 가장 보편적으로 사용되는 공정이다. 흡착제의 표면개질은 질산이온 흡착능력을 개선하였다. 역전 전기투석과 역삼투의 질산-선택 멤브레인 공정은 수용액 중의 질산이온 제거에 오랜 동안 많은 지역에서 효과적임이 증명되었다. 두 기술은 높은 농도의 폐기물을 생성하고 이것의 신중한 처분이 필요하다.

본 연구에서는, 비이온성 삼원공중합체 계면활성제인 $EO_{20}PO_{70}EO_{20}$를 주형으로 사용해, 다양한 Si/Ru 몰 비의 루테늄이 치환된 SBA-15들(Ru-SBA-15)을 합성하였다. 촉매 또는 선택적 흡착제 등으로써의 응용가능성을 검토하기 위해 Ru-SBA-15의 질소 또는 산소 흡착/탈착 거동을 조사하였다. Ru-SBA-15의 기공 크기는 Barrett-Joyner-Halenda(BJH) 및 Broekhoff-de Boer/Frenkel-Halsey-Hill isotherm(BdB-FHH) 방법($D_{BdB-FHH}$)을 이용하여 결정하였다. Si/Ru 비율이 50/1인 Ru-SBA 15의 $D_{BJH}$와 $D_{BdB-FHH}$는 각각 3.9, 4.7 nm였다. 투과전자현미경(TEM) 관찰에 의해 Si/Ru의 몰비율이 50인 Ru-SBA 15의 기공 크기는 4.7 nm로 나타났고, 이것은 BdB-FHH 방법을 사용한 $N_2$ 흡착 결과와 일치하였다. 산소 흡착/탈착 등온선으로부터 얻은 Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) 기공 표면적은 질소의 흡착/탈착 등온선으로부터의 기공 표면적보다 높았는데, 각각 $612.7m^2/g$, 그리고 $573.3m^2/g$이었다. X선 회절(XRD) 패턴과 TEM 분석에 의해 본 연구에서 합성한 Ru-SBA-15는 잘 정렬된 육방정계 정렬을 가지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Hollow or bumpy ZnO structures with micrometer-size features have been investigated as photocatalysts for water purification due to their high surface area available for reaction with harmful organic molecules and relatively large size for easy separation after finishing the photocatalytic reaction. In this study, selective synthesis of ZnO hollow or crumpled microspheres was performed using a simple and versatile ultrasonic spray pyrolysis process with various zinc precursors. The morphologies, phases, specific surface areas, and optical properties of the microspheres were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, and UV-vis spectroscopy. In addition, the mechanism underlying the formation of different morphologies and their photocatalytic activities were systematically investigated.

Efficiently removing Al(III) from rare earth is very significant because even trace amount of Al(III) can cause serious harm to the rare earth materials. In this paper, a nitrogen-containing activated carbon, AC-P700, was synthesized using peas as raw materials. The AC-P700 was characterized by surface area analyzer, FT-IR, and XPS methods. The adsorption and recognition properties of AC-P700 towards Al(III) were investigated, and the recognition mechanism was also analyzed. The BET special surface area of AC-P700 was $1277.1m^2{\cdot}g^{-1}$, and the average pore diameter was 1.90 nm. The AC-P700 possesses strong adsorption affinity and excellent recognition selectivity towards Al(III). The adsorption capacity for Al(III) could reach to $0.53mmol{\cdot}g^{-1}$, and relative selectivity coefficients relative to La(III) and Ce(III) is 9.6 and 8.7, respectively. Besides, AC-P700 possesses better regeneration ability and reusability.

Micro-electronic gas sensor devices were developed for the detection of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO_x), ammonia (NH₃), and formaldehyde (HCHO), as well as binary mixed-gas systems. Four gas sensing materials for different target gases, Pd-SnO₂ for CO, In₂O₃ for NO_x, Ru-WO₃ for NH₃, and SnO₂-ZnO for HCHO, were synthesized using a sol-gel method, and sensor devices were then fabricated using a micro sensor platform. The gas sensing behavior and sensor response to the gas mixture were examined for six mixed gas systems using the experimental data in MEMS gas sensor arrays in sole gases and their mixtures. The gas sensing behavior with the mixed gas system suggests that specific adsorption and selective activation of the adsorption sites might occur in gas mixtures, and allow selectivity for the adsorption of a particular gas. The careful pattern recognition of sensing data obtained by the sensor array made it possible to distinguish a gas species from a gas mixture and to measure its concentration.
