Application of photocatalytic nanoparticles has been recently gaining an increased attention as air purifying material for sustainable urban development. The present work reports the photocatalytic removal of gaseous phase nitrogen oxides ($NO_x$) using $TiO_2$-coated zeolite to be applied as a filter media for the urban green infrastructure such as raingardens. The $TiO_2$-coated zeolite was synthesized by simple wet chemistry method and tested in a continuous-flow photo-reactor for its removal efficiency of $NO_x$ under different conditions of the weight percentage of $TiO_2$ coated on the zeolite, and gas retention time. The removal efficiency of $NO_x$ in general increased as the weight percentage of $TiO_2$ coated on the zeolite increased up to 15-20%. Greater than 90% of $NO_x$ was removed at a retention time of one minute using the $TiO_2$-coated zeolite ($TiO_2$ weight percentage = 20%). Overall, $TiO_2$-coated zeolite showed greater efficiency of $NO_x$ removal compared to $TiO_2$ powder probably by providing additional reaction sites from the porous structure of zeolite. It was presumed that the degradation of $NO_x$ is attributed to both the physical adsorption and photocatalytic oxidation that could simultaneously occur at the catalyst surface.

MEA(monoethanolamine)와 PZ(piperazine)를 함침한 성형 제올라이트 13X 흡착제를 이용하여 연소배가스 중 이산화탄소를 분리하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 MEA, PZ를 각각 30, 50, 70 wt%로 성형 제올라이트에 함침하였다. 함침된 성형 제올라이트 13X 흡착제에 대한 물성 평가를 위해 XRD, FT-IR, BET를 이용하였다. 이산화탄소 분리특성을 조사하기 위하여, 성형 제올라이트, MEA 함침 성형 제올라이트, PZ 함침 성형 제올라이트에 대하여 25, 50, $75^{\circ}C$에서 흡착능을 조사하였다. 아민 함침 성형 제올라이트 흡착제는 온도가 증가할수록 흡착능은 감소한다. 최종적으로 연소배가스의 배출온도인 $50^{\circ}C$에서 흡착능을 비교할 때, PZ가 함침된 성형 제올라이트는 성형 제올라이트보다 1.8배 그리고 MEA 함침된 성형 제올라이트보다 20배 이상의 이산화탄소 흡착능을 보였다.

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the adsorption properties of fly ash (FA)-derived zeolites A and X for the divalent cationic herbicides, paraquat and diquat. Their adsorption isotherms were well fitted to the Langmuir equation, indicating that adsorption mainly occurred on the crystal surface. FA-zeolite X showed a higher adsorption capacity than that of FA-zeolite A due to wide pore window size in spite of its low CEC. The equilibrium adsorption increased with increasing the reaction temperature because of the enhanced molecule activity and the thermal expansion of zeolite pore windows. Overall, these results demonstrated that the FA-zeolite synthesized from fly ash could be used as a low-cost mineral adsorbent for the removal of environmental cationic organic pollutants from the aqueous solution.

There are three main methods to store heat energy; sensible heat storage, latent heat storage, and thermochemical heat storage. Thermochemical heat storage has the highest storage density among the three methods, so this study focused on the thermochemical heat storage method. Experiments were conducted in this study with Zeolite 13x as thermochemical material in a large-scale reactor with 8 kg of Zeolite 13x. Experiments analyzed storage density of Zeolite 13x with respect to four different heating temperatures ($50^{\circ}C$, $100^{\circ}C$, $150^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$) in heat storage process. As a result, they showed 40~50 percent of storage efficiency in the experiment. Experiments also revealed that reactions between Zeolite 13x and water vapor were reversible and stable, but efficiency of the system was low, compared with sensible heat storage systems or latent heat storage systems.

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.

한국산(韓國産) 천연(天然) zeolite에 양이온 계면활성제(界面活性劑)인 TMA(Tetrametyl ammonium)를 흡착시킨 TMA-zeolite complex로 수용액 중의 휘발성 유기화합물인 benzene을 흡착시켜 제거하는 실험을 행하였다. 천연 zeolite의 CEC는 95.9 cmol/kg이었고, X-선 회절분석과 IR분석 결과 clinoptilolite와 mordenite가 주성분이었다. TMA는 zeolite표면에 CEC의 약 8% 정도가 신속히 흡착되었으며 이와 같이 TMA를 흡착한 TMA-zeolite complex에 의하여 수용액중의 benzene이 효과적으로 제거(除去)되었다.

벤젠에 대한 흡착실험이 활성탄과 제올라이트 13X 흡착제에 대하여 수행되었다. 단일 흡착탑과 두 흡착제로 충진된 이중 흡착탑에서 동적흡착특성이 조사되었다. 원료의 유량은 파과시간에 큰 영향을 주지 않았다. 활성탄에 대한 벤젠의 비흡착량이 제올라이트 13X보다 큰 반면, 제올라이트 13X의 밀도가 더 크게 때문에 흡착탑 부피당 흡착량은 제올라이트 13X가 더 컸다. 이중흡착제로 충진된 흡착탑에 대한 동적실험에서 물질전달영역의 길이가 원료의 흐름방향에 따라 달라졌다. 원료 주입구에 활성탄이 충진되고 탑의 출구에 제올라이트 13X가 충진될 때 파과시간은 더 길고 파과곡선은 더 날카롭게 얻어졌다. 또한 두 흡착제의 충진비율에 따라서 파과시간과 파과곡선의 기울기가 영향을 받았다.

In order to investigate the adsorption characteristics for Sr ion using the Na-X zeolite synthesized from coal fly ash, batch tests and response surface analyses were carried out. The adsorption kinetic data for Sr ions, using Na-X zeolite, fitted well with the pseudo-second-order model. The uptake of Sr ions followed the Langmuir isotherm model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 196.46 mg/g. Thermodynamic studies were conducted at different reaction temperatures, with the results indicating that Sr ion adsorption by Na-X zeolite was an endothermic (${\Delta}H^o$>0) and spontaneous (${\Delta}G^o$<0) process. Using the response surface methodology of the Box-Behnken method, initial Sr ion concentration ($X_1$), initial temperature ($X_2$), and initial pH ($X_3$) were selected as the independent variables, while the adsorption of Sr ions by Na-X zeolite was selected as the dependent variable. The experimental data fitted well with a second-order polynomial equation by multiple regression analysis. The value of the determination coefficient ($R^2=0.9937$) and the adjusted determination coefficient (adjusted $R^2=0.9823$) was close to 1, indicating high significance of the model. Statistical results showed the order of Sr removal based on experimental factors to be initial pH > initial concentration > temperature.

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.
