본 연구에서는 정수장 슬러지를 사용하여 제조한 정수슬러지 가공 분말의 압출공정을 통해서 입상흡착제를 제조하였다. 바인더 첨가와 소성과정이 입상형 흡착제의 물리 화학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 질소흡착, 압축강도, 주사전자현미경, 엑스선회절, 피리딘흡착 적외선분광법 등으로 분석하였다. 바인더의 함량을 5 wt%까지 증가시키면 압축강도가 3배 이상으로 개선되었으나 트리메틸아민을 흡착할 수 있는 표면적이 30% 정도 감소하여 입상흡착제의 트리메틸아민 파과시간이 단축되었다. 성형된 입상흡착제의 소성과정을 통해서 표면에 브뢴스테드산점과 루이스산점으로 구성된 산점이 발현되어, 염기성 기체인 트리메틸아민의 파과 시간이 3배 이상으로 증가하였다.

We have developed a cost-effective and facile method to manufacture a pouch-type chemical vapor sampler. Originally, the sampler was developed by U. S. Army Natick Soldier Research, Development, and Engineering Center(NSRDEC) to determine the protective capability of individual protective ensembles or Man-in-Simulant Test (MIST). They used a selectively permeable high density polyethylene(HDPE) as front membrane and aluminum/ Nylon barrier film as an impermeable back sheet in order to mimic the actual adsorption process that occurs when the skin is exposed to chemical weapons. However, it costs over twenty dollars per sampler and the minimum of quantity is 2500 per order. In addition, it is inconvenient to employ a variety of adsorbents into the sampler, which could prevent MIST researchers to do various tests for development of MIST methodologies. Here, we report the simple method to manufacture the sampler in a laboratory scale. All the materials we used are easily obtainable and inexpensive. In addition, all the procedures we perform are generally known. We used methyl salicylate(MeS) vapor to be adsorbed into the sampler and employed several different adsorbents to evaluate the performance of samplers. The results obtained by home-made samplers and commercially avaliable one showed no significant differences. Also, MeS vapor was selectively adsorbed into the sampler depending on adsorbents. We conclude that home-made samplers are capable of collecting any kind of chemical vapor for a variety of purposes.

국내 하수처리장 인 방류기준이 강화되어 다양한 방법의 인 제거기술이 적용되고 있다. 흡착은 비교적 간단하면서 효과적으로 인을 제거할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 흡착제인 Fe-Mn-Si oxide와 Fe-Mn oxide을 개발하여, 인 제거효율을 검토하였으며 이 흡착제에 대하여 Kinetic과 Isotherm모델을 비교하였다. 두 흡착제의 최대흡착양은 각각 47.8, 35.5 mg-$PO{_4}^{3-}/g$이었고, 이들은 낮은 pH에서 효과적으로 흡착하였다. Freundlish isotherm 모델이 Langmuir 모델보다 Fe-Mn-Si oxide의 흡착에 더 적합했다. 이온성 용액은 인이 흡착되는 과정에서 음이온들과 경쟁관계로 흡착능이 감소되었다. 비록 음이온과 humic물질들로부터 흡착에 영향을 받지만 Fe-Mn-Si oxide는 Fe-Mn oxide보다 흡착능이 크게 나타났다.

Even after the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011, the rate of production of electric energy using nuclear energy is increasing, but there is a great danger such as the radioactive waste produced when using nuclear power, the catastrophic accident of nuclear power plant, and connection with nuclear weapons. In particular, Cs present in the ionic form of alkaline elements has a long half-life (30.17 years) because it is readily absorbed by the organism and emits intense gamma rays, thus presenting a serious radiation hazard. Therefore, it must be completely removed before it can be released into the natural ecosystem, because it can adversely affect not only humans but also natural ecosystems. Many adsorbents and ion exchangers which have high Cs removal efficiency have been used in recent years to completely separate and remove by self separation in water. Many adsorbents and ion exchangers which have high Cs removal efficiency have been used in recent years to completely separate and remove by self separation in water. In addition, researches have been doing to synthesize magnetic materials with adsorbents such as HCF and PB, and it shows a great effect in the removal rate of Cs present in wastewater or the maximum Cs adsorption amount. In particular, when a magnetic material was applied, excellent results were obtained in which only Cs was selectively removed from other cations. However, new problems such as applicability in the sea where Cs is directly released, applicability in various pH ranges, and failure to preserve the magnetizing force possessed by the magnetic body have been found. However, researches using ferromagnetic field with stronger magnetic properties than those of magnetic bodies is considered to be insufficient. Therefore, it is considered that if the researches combining the ferromagnetic field with the magnetization ability and functional adsorbents more actively, the radioactive material Cs which adversely affects the natural ecosystem can be effectively removed.

Background: Recently, biological adsorbents have been developed for removing radionuclides from radioactive liquid waste due to their high selectivity, eco-friendliness, and renewability. However, since they can be damaged by radiation in radioactive waste, a method for estimating the bio-adsorbent performance as a time should consider the radiation damages in terms of their renewability. This paper aims to develop a simulation method that applies a deep learning technique to rapidly and accurately estimate the adsorption performance of bio-adsorbents when inserted into liquid radioactive waste. Materials and Methods: A model that describes various interactions between a bio-adsorbent and liquid has been constructed using numerical methods to estimate the adsorption capacity of the bio-adsorbent. To generate datasets for machine learning, Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) simulations were conducted while considering radioactive concentrations in the adsorbent column. Results and Discussion: Compared with the result of the conventional method, the proposed method indicates that the accuracy is in good agreement, within 0.99% and 0.06% for the R² score and mean absolute percentage error, respectively. Furthermore, the estimation speed is improved by over 30 times. Conclusion: Note that an artificial neural network can rapidly and accurately estimate the survival rate of a bio-adsorbent from radiation ionization compared with the MCNP simulation and can determine if the bio-adsorbents are reusable.

2007년부터 국내 광해방지기본계획이 추진되어 광해발생 광산에 대한 광해방지사업이 진행되어 왔으며 2011년부터 2015년까지 254개 광산에서 발생된 광해를 처리 및 복구하였다. 그러나 추가적인 광해 발생 발견으로 오염갱내수 유출량이 지속적으로 증가함에 따라 보다 효율적이고 경제적인 처리기술이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정수처리장의 슬러지 폐기물을 활용해 제조한 알럼 슬러지 흡착제(Alum based adsorbent, ABA-500)와 과립상 철수산화물 흡착제(Granular ferric hydroxide, GFH)를 광산배수 내 오염물질인 비소를 대상으로 각각의 흡착특성을 비교 및 분석했다. 이들 흡착제의 주요 구성 성분은 각각 알루미늄/규소 계열의 광물과 비정질 철수산화물이었다. 고형첨가방법으로 흡착제의 영전하점을 분석한 결과 ABA-500, GFH 각각 pH 5.27, 6.72에서 표면전하량이 0이 되었다. BET 분석을 통한 질소 등온 흡탈착 결과 세 흡착제 모두 메조기공이 발달해 있었고, GFH의 비표면적은 257 m²·g^-1으로 126~136 m²·g^-1인 ABA-500 보다 매우 높은 값을 보였다. 세 종류의 흡착제로 비소 흡착 회분식 실험을 진행했으며, 반응시간과 초기 비소농도, pH 및 온도에 따라 흡착효율을 비교했다. 동적흡착실험 결과 GFH, ABA-500(granule), ABA-500(3mm) 순으로 빠르게 비소를 흡착했고 세 흡착제 모두 유사 2차 반응속도 모델을 따르는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 세 흡착제 모두 낮은 pH와 높은 온도에서 비소 제거율이 증가했으며, GFH가 가장 뛰어난 비소 흡착능을 보였다. 흡착제 ABA-500(granule)과 GFH를 초기 농도에 따라 1시간 반응시킨 경우 0.2와 1 mg·g^-1 이하 조건에서 비소를 국내 음용수 기준치 이하로 제거할 수 있었다. 따라서 정화대상지의 비소 오염 정도가 낮은 경우 경제성을 고려해 ABA-500(granule)을 흡착매질로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

We report on a patient who developed acute hepatic failure despite intravenous N-acetyl cysteine therapy who was treated with the Molecular Adsorbents Recirculating System (MARS). She presented 20 hours after the ingestion of 13 g of acetaminophen. The MARS is based on albumin dialysis principle which can be applied for patients with acute poisoning from drugs that have high protein-binding capacity because of its ability to selectively remove from circulation protein-bound toxins. The clinical toxicologist should be consider this technology when treating patients with hepatic failure following acetaminophen poisoning.

A laboratory experiment was performed to invstigate the nitrate removal using FeCl$_3$ -treated activated carbon. Iron chloride(III) was coated onto the surface of activated carbon. The removal efficiency of nitrate was increased with increasing of FeCl$_3$ was used for coating material. About 22~26mg of Fe per unit g of activated carbon was adsorbed. The nitrate removal was not affected by the pH under the experiment range of pH, but the pH value in solution decrease to 3.5~4.0 after reaction. The removal efficiency of nitrate was increased with increasing of dosage of adsorbents. Ammonia was not detected and the Fe concentration as low as 0.22mg/$\ell$ was desorbed from the adsorbents. The adsorbents was regenerated using KCl solution, and recovery was 76.6% at 1 M of KCl. The adsorption of nitrate by FeCl$_3$-treated activated carbon followed the Freundlich isotherm equation and the Freundlich constant, 1/n, was 0.346. These results showed that the FeCl$_3$-treated activated carbon could serve as the basis of a useful nitrate removal.

Removal through adsorption is the most widely used and effective treatment method for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaust gases. However, at high temperatures and humidity, adsorption is competitive due to the presence of moisture and unsmooth physical adsorption thereby deteriorating adsorption performance. Therefore, water adsorption honeycomb (WAH) and VOCs adsorption honeycomb (VAH) were prepared to improve VOCs adsorption at high temperatures and humidity. Adsorbed toluene amounts on single honeycomb (SH), containing only VAH, and combined honeycomb (CH), containing WAH and VAH, were determined. Further, the toluene adsorption rates of honeycomb adsorbents mounted on rotary systems, VAH-single rotor (SR) and WAH/VAH-dual rotor (DR) were determined. Toluene adsorption by WAH/VAH-CH (inlet temperature: 40-50℃; absolute humidity: 28-83 gH₂O/kg-dry air) was 1.6 times that by VAH-SH, and the water adsorption efficiency of WAH/VAH-CH was 1.7 times that of VAH-SH. The adsorption/removal efficiency of the WAH/VAH-DR (inlet temperature: 45℃; absolute humidity: 37.5 gH₂O/kg-dry air) was 3% higher than that of VAH-SR. This indicates that the WAH at the rotor inlet selectively removed water, thereby improving the adsorption efficiency of the VAH at the outlet.
