We studied the removal of zinc ions from synthetic brackish water by an adsorption method using natural Algerian Bentonite (NAB). The effect of the main physico chemical parameters-contact time, pH, temperature, ionic strength, clay weight and initial metal ion concentrations on the removal of $Zn^{+2}$-were investigated. The results showed that equilibrium was attained within 10 min of stirring time. The retention capacity of $Zn^{+2}$ increased with the increase of pH, the adsorbent dose and ionic strength. A modelization study showed that the adsorption follows Langmuir isotherm, while its kinetics was pseudo-second-order. Based on the results, it was concluded that NAB, which is natural and available, could be used as an alternative for the removal of zinc from saline aqueous solutions.

The feasibility study of soil flushing was investigated to remediate lubricant oil and zinc contaminated railway soil. In this study, mixed washing agents of surfactant and inorganic acid/base were used for the simultaneous removal. The mixed washing agent of non-ionic surfactant and HCl removed 15% of the lubricant oil and 40% of zinc, respectively. Alkaline-enhanced soil washing process increased the removal of lubricant oil up to 40%. This is because alkaline solution reduced the interfacial tension between water phase and lubricant oil phase due to the soap formation reaction. To simulate in-situ soil flushing for the remediation of railroad-related contamination, two dimensional soil flushing was carried out based on the results of batch soil washing. In the soil flushing, the removal efficiencies of lubricant oil and zinc were 34% and 16%, respectively. Even though the removal efficiency was low, the mixed washing agent can remove metal and lubricant oil simultaneously.

To examine the possibility of biomonitoring of heavy metal removal ability and soil, a study was performed to investigate the heavy metal removal ability and metal-binding protein (MBP) as detoxification process using Oenanthe stolonifera. After O. stolonifera was exposed to individuals (cadmium, zinc) and mixture (cadmium+zinc)for 4 days, removal rate of heavy metal and pH in the treatment medium was measured. MBP was assayed by means of ion exchange column chromatography. The exposure to mixture (Cd:76.8%, Zn:75%) rather than individuals (Cd:82.9%, Zn:90.4%) showed a synergism raising the toxic effect. Initial removal rate was different for each heavy metal : in case of exposure to cadmium it was over 60% on day 1, while for zinc it was 75~90% on day 4. Throughout the experimental period, pH value of treatment medium continuously decreased, since cortex in the roots may secret organic acid to adjust and prevent toxicity of metals. The existence or MBP in the 70~80 fraction and the presence of Zn-enzyme pool was ascertained with the column chromatography. This study demonstrated a possibility that heavy utilized as a biomarker of heavy metal pollution.

This study investigated the purification process of groundwater contaminated with zinc and arsenic using a permeable reactive barrier with a zero-valent iron/pumice mixture. We determined the removal rates of the contaminants for 30 days. In this study, column reactor filled with the zero-valent iron/pumice reactive mixture was used. Experimental results showed that the mixture exhibited an almost complete removal of the zinc and arsenic ions. Arsenic was removed via co-precipitation and adsorption processes while zinc ions were asorbed in active sites.The purification process of water from the metal ionscontinued for 30 days with constant hydraulic conductivity because of the enhanced porosity of the pumice and interparticle distance between the zero-valent iron and pumice. Contaminants removal rates and the remediation mechanism for each reactive system are described in this paper.

The study is to propose the optimal separation technique of heavy metals (Pb and Zn) contaminated in soil for improving the removal efficiency by various applicable techniques. The heavy metal contaminated soil samples near abandoned mine X-1 and X-2 were used for the study. Firstly, the wet classification process was shown more than 80% of removal efficiency for lead and zinc. Meanwhile, the magnetic separation process was shown low removal efficiency for lead and zincs because those heavy metals were non-magnetic materials. For the next step, the flotation separation process was shown approximately 24.4% of removal efficiency for zinc, while the gravity concentration process was shown approximately 57% of removal efficiency for lead, and 19.9% of removal efficiency for zinc, respectively. Therefore, zinc contaminated in soil would be effectively treated by the combination technique of the wet classification and the flotation technique. Meanwhile, lead contaminated in soil would be effectively treated by the combination technique of the wet classification process and the flotation process. Furthermore, the extraction of organic matter was shown more effective with aeration, 3% of hydrogen peroxide and 3% of lime such as calcium hydroxide.

본 연구에서는 회분식 실험 및 $A^2/O$ 공법의 연속식 실험으로 아연이 생분해, 산소 소모율, 질산화 및 탈질에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 아연 영향 실험 결과 유기물 분해는 회분식 실험의 경우 아연 농도 12 mg/L까지 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 연속식 실험의 경우 아연 농도 3.0 mg/L 이상일 때 생분해성이 낮아졌다. 질산화 및 질소 제거의 경우 회분식은 아연 농도 6.0 mg/L 이상일 때 질산화율이 낮아졌으며, 연속식의 경우 아연 농도 3.0 mg/L 이상일 때는 질소 제거율이 낮아졌다. 인 제거의 경우 회분식은 아연 농도 6.0 mg/L, 연속식은 아연 농도 3.0 mg/L 이상일때 인 제거율이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 산소 소모율의 경우 연속식의 아연 농도가 3.0 mg/L 이상이면 미생물 활성에 영향을 주어 산소 소모율이 낮아졌다.

황동 전구 base 제조과정에서 발생하는 황산폐수에 함유된 구리와 아연의 농도를 저감시키기 위해 중화법에 의한 최적조건을 조사하였다. 구리와 아연이 함유된 황산용액에 대해 화학반응과 물질수지를 고려하여 용액의 pH에 따른 구리와 아연의 농도분포와 용해도를 구하였다. 구리와 아연의 수산화물이 침전되는 pH영역에서 아연의 용해도가 구리의 용해도보다 크므로, 구리에 비해 아연의 제거율이 용액의 pH에 민감하였다. 응집제로 $Al_2(SO_4)_3$를 첨가하는 경우 아연의 제거율은 응집제의 첨가형태에 영향을 받지 않았으나, 구리의 경우에는 용액으로 첨가하는 것이 고체상태로 첨가하는 것보다 제거율이 높았다.

In this research work, synthesis of sugarcane bagasse/zinc aluminium biocomposite and apple peel/zinc aluminium biocomposite and their application for removal of Reactive Red-241 and Acid Orange-7, respectively, was studied using various parameters. At pH 2 the sorption was the highest for both dyes. The trend showed that the dye sorption declined by decreasing the biocomposite dose and enhanced by increasing the dye concentration and temperature. Equilibrium was achieved at 60 minutes for Reactive Red-241 onto sugarcane bagasse/zinc aluminium biocomposite and 90 minutes for Acid Orange-7 onto apple peel/zinc aluminium biocomposite.The research data was good fitted to pseudo-2nd-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm. FT-IR analysis was used to confirm the biosorption of the selected dyes at the surface of biosorbent through various binding sites. Surface morphology modification of both biocomposites before and after biosorption was inspected through SEM. Crystallinity of biocomposite was examined through XRD analysis. It was implied that sugarcane bagasse/ zinc aluminium biocomposite and apple peel/ zinc aluminium biocomposite are good adsorbents for dyes elimination from aqueous solutions.

본 연구에서는 한약재 부산물로서 우슬 줄기를 사용하여 바이오차를 제조하였다. 제조된 바이오차를 수처리 공정에 적용하기 위하여, 수중에 용해된 아연과 철 이온의 흡착 특성을 고찰하였다. 70과 100 mg/L 아연 이온을 제거하고자 2 h 실험이 이루어졌을 때, 각각 32.3과 31.0 mg/g 흡착량을 구할 수 있었다. 위의 실험 결과, 아연 이온의 제거공정에서 우슬 줄기 바이오차는 활성탄소 보다 3배 이상의 흡착량을 나타내었다. 또한, 70과 100 mg/L 철 이온을 처리하고자 2 h 실험이 수행되었을 때, 각각 50.1과 54.3 mg/g의 높은 흡착량을 얻었다. 그리고, 아연과 철 이온의 제거효율을 향상시키고자, 우슬 줄기 바이오차에 수증기 활성화 공정이 이루어졌다. 그 결과, 70과 100 mg/L 아연 이온의 제거효율이 각각 80과 60%로 증가되었다. 또한, 70과 100 mg/L 철 이온의 제거효율은 각각 100과 82%로 향상되었다. 그리고 수증기로 활성화된 우슬 줄기 바이오차는 미처리된 우슬 줄기 바이오차와 비교하였을 때, 비표면적이 37.3배 증가되었으며 총 기공부피와 대세공 기공부피가 각각 28.4, 136배 향상되었다. 따라서 이러한 실험 결과들은 수중에 함유된 아연과 철 이온을 경제적이고 실용적으로 흡착 처리하는 기술에 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
