본 연구에서는 di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phosphoric acid (D2EHPA)와 carbon nanotubes (CNTs)를 polysulfone (PSf)에 고정화시켜 PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드를 제조하였으며, 제조한 비드에 의한 Sr(II)의 제거특성을 살펴보았다. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) 및 Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) 분석을 통하여 PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드의 형태적 특성들을 조사하였다. PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드에 의한 Sr(II)의 제거는 운전시간 60 min 정도에서 평형에 도달하였으며, 속도 실험결과는 유사 2차 속도식에 잘 부합하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드에 의한 Sr(II)의 제거에서 Langmuir 식으로부터 구한 최대 제거량은 4.75 mg/g이었다. PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드에 의한 Sr(II)의 제거효율은 추출제 D2EHPA 만을 사용하는 경우보다 CNTs를 첨가함으로써 Sr(II)의 제거량이 2.5배 정도 향상되는 결과를 보였다.

Polysulfone (PSf)에 탄소 나노 튜브(CNTs, carbon nano tubes)와 두 가지 추출제, di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phosphoric acid (D2EHPA)와 tributyl phosphate (TBP)를 고정화시킨 PSf/D2EHPA/TBP/CNTs 비드를 제조하였다. 제조한 비드의 특성은 SEM, TGA 및 FTIR로 분석하였다. 제조한 PSF/D2EHPA/TBP/CNTs 비드에 의한 Sr(II)의 제거속도는 유사 2차 속도식에 의해 잘 설명되었으며, Langmuir 등온식으로 구한 Sr(II)의 최대 제거 용량은 5.52 mg/g이었다. 본 연구에서 제조한 PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드에 의한 Sr(II)의 제거효율은 TBP가 첨가되지 않은 PSf/D2EHPA/CNTs 비드에 의한 Sr(II)의 제거효율 보다 크게 향상되는 결과를 나타내었다.

The feasibility of PS-D2EHPA/TBP beads prepared by immobilizing two extractants D2EHPA and TBP in polysulfone to remove Sr(II) from aqueous solution was investigated in batch system. Batch experiments were carried out to study equilibrium isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics. Equilibrium data were fitted using Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich-Peterson, and Dubinin-Radushkevich equation models at temperatures of 298 K, 313 K, and 328 K. The removal capacity of Sr(II) by PS-D2EHPA/TBP beads obtained from Langmuir model was 2.41 mg/g at 298 K. The experimental data were well represented by pseudo-second-order model. The removal process of Sr(II) by PS-D2EHPA/TBP beads prepared in this study was found to be feasible, endothermic, and spontaneous.

Zeolite was synthesized from power station waste, coal fly ash, as an alternative low-cost adsorbent and investigated for the removal of Sr(II) and Cs(I) ions from single- and binary metal aqueous solutions. In order to investigate the adsorption characteristics, the effects of various operating parameters such as initial concentration of metal ions, contact time, and pH of the solutions were studied in a batch adsorption technique. The Langmuir model better fitted the adsorption isotherm data than the Freundlich model. The pseudo second-order model was found more applicable to describe the kinetics of system. The adsorption capacities of Sr(II) and Cs(I) ions obtained from the Langmuir model were 1.7848 mmol/g and 0.7640 mmol/g, respectively. Although the adsorption capacities of individual Sr(II) and Cs(I) ions was less in the binary-system, the sum of the total adsorption capacity (2.3572 mmol/g) of both ions in the binary-system was higher than the adsorption capacity of individual ion in the single-system. Comparing the homogeneous film diffusion model with the homogeneous particle diffusion model, the adsorption was mainly controlled by the particle diffusion process.

The objective of the study, to develop adsorbent based purifier for removal of radiological and nuclear contaminants from contaminated water. In this regard, 3-aminopropyl silica functionalized with ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (APS-EDTA) adsorbent prepared and characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Prepared APS-EDTA used for adsorptive studies of Cs(I), Co(II), Sr(II), Ni(II) and Cd(II) from contaminated water. The effect on adsorption of various parameters viz. contact time, initial concentration of metal ions and pH were also analyzed. The batch method has been employed using metal ions in solution from 1000-10000 ㎍/L, contact time 5-60 min., pH 4-10 and material quantities 50-200 mg at room temperature. The obtained adsorption data were used for drawing Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms model and both models were found suitable for explaining the metal ions adsorption on APS-EDTA. The adsorption data were followed pseudo second order reaction kinetics. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained 1.3037-1.4974 mg/g for above said metal ions. The results show that APS-EDTA have great potential to remove Cd(II), Co(II), Cs(I), Ni(II) and Sr(II) from aqueous solutions through chemisorption and physio-sorption.

An Amberlite XAD-4 resin impregnated with di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid was prepared and its adsorption-desorption behaviors with Sr(II) ions under various conditions was examined. The resin was characterized by fourier transform infrared and thermal analysis techniques. The effects contact time, temperature, pH, interfering ions and eluants were studied. Results showed that adsorption of Sr (II) well fitted with pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium adsorption data of Sr (II) on the impregnated resin were analyzed by Jossens, Weber-van Vliet, Redlich-Peterson and Fritz-Schlunder models to find out desirable equilibrium condition. Among them, the Fritz-Schlunder model best fitted to the experimental data. The maximum sorption capacity of impregnated resin amounted to 0.45 mg/ g at pH 8.0 and $20^{\circ}C$.

The adsorption behaviors of strontium and cesium ions on fly ash, natural zeolites, and zeolites synthesized from fly ash were investigated. The zeolites synthesized from fly ash had greater adsorption capabilities for strontium and cesium ions than the original fly ash and natural zeolites. The maximum adsorption capacity of synthetic zeolite for strontium and cesium ions was 100 and 154 mg/g, respectively, It was found that the Freundlich isotherm model could fit the adsorption isotherm. The distribution coefficients (K$\_$d/) for strontium and cesium ions were also calculated from the adsorption isotherm data, The distribution coefficients decreased with increasing equilibrium concentration of strontium and cesium ions in solution. By studying the removal of cesium and strontium ions in the presence of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, sulfate, nitrate, nitrite, and EDTA (in the range of 0.01 - 5 mM) it was found that these coexistence ions competed for the same adsorption sites with strontium and cesium ions.

한국원자력연구소 내의 연구용 원자로(TRIGA II, III) 해체 시 발생한 방사성 알루미늄 해체 폐기물의 감용 및 제염 특성을 평가하기 위해 아크로에서 알루미늄의 용융 특성 및 방사성 핵종의 분배 특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 알루미늄 폐기물은 흑연전극(graphite electrode)을 이용한 전기아크로에서 4가지 종류의 플럭스$(A:NaCl-KCl-Na_3AlF_6,\;B:NaCl-NaF-KF,\;C:CaF_2,\;D:LiF-KCl-BaCl_2)$를 함께 첨가하여 용융시켰다. 또한 알루미늄의 용융 시 방사성 핵종의 분배 특성을 고찰하기 위해 알루미늄 시편에 방사성 모의 핵종인 코발트, 세슘, 스트론튬의 화합물을 오염시킨 후 혹연도가니에 넣어 알루미늄 용융실험을 수행하였다. 전기아크로에서 알루미늄의 용융실험을 수행한 결과 플럭스의 종류에 따라 다소 차이는 있으나 플럭스의 첨가에 의해 알루미늄 용융체의 유동성이 증가됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 아크 용융에 의해 생성된 슬래그의 발생량은 플럭스 A와 B를 첨가한 알루미늄 용융실험에 비해 플럭스 C와 D를 첨가한 실험에서 상대적으로 많은 양이 생성됨을 알 수 있었으며, 첨가된 플럭스의 양이 증가할수록 이에 비례하여 슬래그의 발생량이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 슬래그(slag)의 XRD 분석을 통해 방사성 핵종이 주괴에서 슬래그 상으로 이동한 후 슬래그를 구성하고 있는 산화알루미늄과 결합하여 안정한 화합물로 슬래그 상에 포집됨을 알 수 있었다. 알루미늄 폐기물의 용융시 Co의 분배율은 플럭스를 첨가한 경우에 보다 높은 제염계수를 나타냈으며, 모든 플럭스에서 40% 이상의 제염 효과를 나타내었다. 반면에 휘발성 핵종인 Cs과 Sr은 주괴로부터 98% 이상이 제거되어 대부분이 슬래그상과 분진으로 이동되는 특성을 확인할 수 있었다.
