Several adsorbents were tried to remove the selenium ions from industrial wastewater and the following ascending order of the adsorption performance for the selenium at pH 9 was observed: cation exchange resin < chelate resin < zeolite < brown marine algae < granular activated carbon < anion exchange resin. Initial concentration of selenium(146 mg/L) in industrial wastewater was reduced to 63 mg/L of selenium at pH 9 by neutralization process. The maximum uptake of Se calculated from the Langmuir isotherm with anion exchange resin was 0.091 mmol/g at pH 10 and that with granular activated carbon was 0.083 mmol/g at pH 6. The affinity coefficients of Se ion towards anion exchange resin and granular activated carbon were 3.263 L/mmol at pH 10 and 0.873 L/mmol at pH 6, respectively. The sorption performance of anion exchange resin at the low concentration of Se, namely, was much better than that of granular activated carbon. The Se ions from industrial wastewater throughout neutralization process and two steps of adsorption using anion exchange resin was removed to 97.7%.

Xanthoceras sorbifolia seed coat (XSSC) is a processing residue of the bioenergy crop. This work aimed to evaluate the applicability of using the steam explosion to modify the residue for dye biosorption from aqueous solutions by using methylene blue as a model cationic dye. Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for the biosorption of methylene blue on the steam-exploded XSSC (SE-XSSC) were evaluated. The kinetic data followed the pseudo-second-order model, and the rate-limiting step was the chemical adsorption. Intraparticle diffusion was one of the rate-controlling factors. The equilibrium data agreed well with the Langmuir isotherm, and the biosorption was favorable. The steam-explosion pretreatment strongly affected the biosorption in some respects. It reduced the adsorption rate constant and the initial sorption rate of the pseudo-second-order model. It enhanced the adsorption capacity of methylene blue at higher temperatures while reduced the capacity at lower ones. It changed the biosorption from an exothermic process driven by both the enthalpy and the entropy to an endothermic one driven by entropy only. It increased the surface area and decreased the pH point of zero charge of the biomass. Compared with the native XSSC, SE-XSSC is preferable to MB biosorption from warmer dye effluents.

Using a three-dimensional numerical code, B3R developed for nuclide transport of an arbitrary length of decay chain in the buffer between the canister and adjacent rock in a high- level radioactive waste repository by adopting a finite difference method utilizing the control- volume scheme, some illustrative calculations have been done. A linear sorption isotherm, nuclide transport due to diffusion in the buffer and the rock matrix, and advection and dispersion along thin rigid parallel fractures existing in a saturated porous rock matrix as well as diffusion through the fracture wall into the matrix is assumed. In such kind of repository, buffer and rock matrix are known to be important physico-chemical harriers in nuclide retardation. To show effects of buffer and rock matrix on nuclide transport in HLW repository and also to demonstrate usefulness of B3R, several cases of breakthrough curves as well as three- dimensional plots of concentration isopleths associated with these two barriers are introduced for a typical case of decay chain of $^{234}$ Ulongrightarrow$^{230}$ Thlongrightarrow$^{226}$ Ra, which is the most important chain as far as the human environment is concerned.

The activated carbon produced from rubber wood sawdust by chemical activation using phosphoric acid have been utilized as an adsorbent for the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solution in the concentration range 5-40 mg/l. Adsorption experiments were carried out in a batch process and various experimental parameters such as effect of contact time, initial copper ion concentration, carbon dosage, and pH on percentage removal have been studied. Adsorption results obtained for activated carbon from rubber wood sawdust were compared with the results of commercial activated carbon (CAC). The adsorption on activated carbon samples increased with contact time and attained maximum value at 3 h for CAC and 4 h for PAC. The adsorption results show that the copper uptake increased with increasing pH, the optimum efficiency being attained at pH 6. The precipitation of copper hydroxide occurred when pH of the adsorbate solution was greater than 6. The equilibrium data were fitted using Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm equation. The kinetics of sorption of the copper ion has been analyzed by two kinetic models, namely, the pseudo first order and pseudo second order kinetic model. The adsorption constants and rate constants for the models have been determined. The process follows pseudo second order kinetics and the results indicated that the Langmuir model gave a better fit to the experimental data than the Freundlich model. It was concluded that activated carbon produced using phosphoric acid has higher adsorption capacity when compared to CAC.

This study was conducted to develop a new drying technology in order to quickly and massively dry bamboo tubes without crack and check. The bamboo tubes with the diameter of 45 mm - 68 mm had been impregnated in the solution of PEG-1000, and then were dried under room temperature and high temperature, respectively. The cracks occurred on all control specimens while no cracks were found on PEG treated specimens during drying at room temperature due to effect of PEG restraining the circumferential shrinkage of bamboo tube. But the drying period of this method was too long (200 days) compared to 10 hours of kiln drying. During fast high temperature drying, cracks occurred on all control specimens, but no cracks were found on PEG treated specimens, which could be accounted for more solidified PEG due to higher drying temperature and faster drying rate, and the tension set formed on the surface of bamboo tube in the early stage of drying owning to high drying temperature and low relative humidity. Thus, it is advised that PEG treated bamboo tube should be fast dried at high temperature in order to not only prevent crack or check in short drying period but also increase the dimensional stability of the products made of bamboo tubes.

The problem of water contamination by long-living cesium and strontium radionuclides is an urgent environmental issue. The development of facile and efficient technologies based on nanostructured adsorbents is a perspective for selective radionuclides removal. In this regard, current work aimed to obtain the nanostructured magnetic zeolite composites with high adsorption performance to cesium and strontium ions. The optimal conditions of hydrothermal synthesis were established based on XRD, SEM-EDX, N₂ adsorption-desorption, VSM, and batch adsorption experiment data. The role of chemical composition, textural characteristics, and surface morphology was demonstrated. The monolayer ionexchange mechanism was proposed based on adsorption isotherm modeling.

건조방법이 복분자 분말의 갈변 및 흡습 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 신선 복분자를 천일, 적외선 및 동결 건조한 다음 분쇄하고 이 분말의 색도와 수분활성도 ($a_w$) 0.11-0.90 범위에서 평형수분함량(EMC)을 각각 측정하였다. 갈변지표인 $L^*$값과 $a^*$값은 동결 건조한 복분자 분말이 다른 방법으로 건조한 분말보다 높고 낮은 값을 나타내었고, 황색도인 $b^*$값은 동결 건조 분말에서 가장 높은 수준을 보였다. EMC는 $a_w$의 증가와 함께 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 특히, 0.75 $a_w$ 이상에서 급격하게 증가하였다. 동일한 $a_w$에서 분말의 EMC는 동결건조품이 천일과 적외선 건조품 보다 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 복분자 분말의 흡습곡선은 전형적인 sigmoid 형태를 보였고, 천일건조 분말은 Halsey model, 적외선 건조 분말은 Kuhn model, 그리고 동결 건조 분말은 Oswin model이 적합도가 가장 높았다. 단분자층 수분함량은 GAB 방정식으로 설명 할 수 있었으며, 적외선 건조 분말에서 0.005 g $H_2O/g$ dry solid, 천일 및 동결 건조 분말에서 0.019 g $H_2O/g$ dry solid를 각각 나타내었다. 이로써 건조방법은 복분자 분말의 갈변과 흡습 특성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다.

매년 가로수로부터 많은 양의 낙엽이 발생하고 이는 적절하게 수거하여 처리해야 한다. 왕벚나무는 우리나라에서 일반적인 가로수이다. 왕벚나무 잎(CL)과 그것으로부터 제조된 바이오차(CB)의 Pb(II) 흡착특성에 관한 회분식 실험을 수행하였다. 바이오차는 $800^{\circ}C$에서 90분간 탄화시켜 제조하였다. 흡착특성을 규명하기 위해 동력학적 및 등온 흡착실험을 수행하였다. 탄화과정은 바이오차의 탄소함량과 pH 값을 증가시키고 수소와 산소함량을 감소시켰다. 또한, 잘 발달된 공극 구조가 바이오차의 표면에 관찰되었다. CL과 CB에 의한 Pb(II) 흡착은 2차 속도모델에 의해 적절하게 설명될 수 있는 것으로 나타나 흡착반응의 속도가 물리적 흡착보다는 화학적 흡착에 의해 결정됨을 알 수 있었다. CB는 CL에 비해 더 빠른 흡착반응과 높은 흡착용량을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. Pb(II)의 등온흡착 특성은 Langmuir 모델에 의해 보다 적절하게 설명될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. Langmuir 상수, $Q^0$에 의해 설명되는 최대흡착용량은 CL이 37.31 mg/g, CB가 94.34 mg/g으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 원자력 중대 사고 시, 환경에 유출된 방사성 세슘의 확산을 억제하기 위해 충북 영동지역 일라이트의 활용 가능성을 평가하였다. 영동 일라이트는 운모질 편암의 열수변질 작용에 의해 형성되었으며, 주요 구성 광물은 석영, 장석, 일라이트이다. 저농도 세슘 용액을 사용한 회분식 흡착 실험 결과, 영동 일라이트의 흡착 분배 계수($K_d$)는 약 $4,200L\;kg^{-1}$으로 다른 점토 광물에 비해 비교적 높은 값을 가지며, 이는 일라이트에 존재하는 풍화된 모서리면(FES)의 영향으로 판단된다. 영동 일라이트와 세슘의 흡착등온선은 비선형 흡착 특성을 나타내며 단일 표면 한계 흡착 능력이 $250,000{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$으로 우수한 흡착능을 보여주어 방사성 세슘 흡착제로서의 사용 가능성을 입증하였다. 이러한 결과는 추후 방사능 누출 사고 등의 긴급 상황 발생 시, 영동 지역 일라이트를 오염 확산 방지 및 정화작업에 사용하기 위한 평가 자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
