The adsorption of uranium (VI) by calcium alginate beads was examined by batch experiments. The effects of environmental conditions on U (VI) adsorption were studied, including contact time, pH, initial concentration of U (VI), and temperature. The alginate beads were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Fourier transform infrared spectra indicated that hydroxyl and alkoxy groups are present at the surface of the beads. The experimental results showed that the adsorption of U (VI) by alginate beads was strongly dependent on pH, the adsorption increased at pH 3~7, then decreased at pH 7~9. The adsorption reached equilibrium within 2 minutes. The adsorption kinetics of U (VI) onto alginate beads can be described by a pseudo first-order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherm can be described by the Redlich-Peterson model, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 237.15 mg/g. The sorption process is spontaneous and has an exothermic reaction.

Dicalcium phosphate nanoparticles (DCP-NPs) was synthesized chemically and used for adsorptive removal of uranyl ions from aqueous solutions in a batch system. A commercial grade of DCP (monetite) was also employed for comparison. The synthesized and commercial adsorbents (S-DCP and C-DCP) were characterized by FT-IR, SEM and XRD techniques. The investigation of adsorption isotherms indicated that the maximum adsorption capacities ($q_m$) for C-DCP and S-DCP were 714.3 and $666.7mg\;g^{-1}$ (at 293 K), respectively. The experimental kinetics were well-described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic and the equilibrium data were fitted with both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models. Thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption of uranyl ions on the monetite surface was a spontaneous exothermic process. The exhausted adsorbents could be regenerated by washing with $0.10mol\;L^{-1}$ NaOH.

A novel activated carbon produced from cherry laurel (Laurocerasus officinalisRoem.) seeds (CLSAC) by chemical activation with ZnCl2 was used as an adsorbent to remove Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solutions. CLSAC was characterized by several techniques and the adsorption experiments were performed in a batch model adsorption technique. The effects of various experimental parameters were investigated as a function of solution pH, contact time, initial Cr(VI) concentration, CLSAC concentration, and temperature. The monolayer adsorption capacity of CLSAC was found to be 41.67 mg g-1 for 5.0 g L-1 of CLSAC concentration and, it was concluded that CLSAC can be used as an effective adsorbent for removal of Cr(VI) from waters and wastewaters.

혐기성 암모니아 산화공정에서 nitrite는 저해인자로 잘 알려져 있고, 최근에는 유리 암모니아 역시 anammox bacteria에 저해 영향을 주는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 유입수의 암모니아와 아질산의 비율이 연속운전에서 효과적인 질소제거에 중요한 인자가 되며, 연속운전 반응기에서는 유리 암모니아와 아질산의 축적을 방지하기 위해 유입수의 NH$_3$-N/NO$_2$-N-N비를 조절할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 다섯 가지 종류의 NH$_3$-N/NO$_2$-N-N비를 회분식 실험을 통해 잔류 암모니아성 질소와 아질산성 질소의 농도를 최소화하는 비를 조사하였다. 회분식 실험 결과 실험 26시간 후에 1.00 : 1.30의 비에서 88%에 달하는 총질소 제거율이 나타났다. 그리고 혐기성 암모늄 산화 반응은 0차 반응을 나타내었고, 암모니아와 아질산의 반응 속도상수는 1.00 : 1.30의 비에서 각각 7.66 mg/L$\cdot$hr과 11.89 mg/L$\cdot$hr로 가장 높게 나타났다. 혐기성 암모늄 산화균 활성도를 측정해본 결과 1.00 : 1.15의 비에서 미생물의 활성도가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 회분식 실험의 결과를 통해, 이론적 반응비과 비슷한 1.00:1.30에서는 반응속도가 크고 총질소 제거율도 높은 반면 혐기성 암모늄 산화균은 이론적 반응비보다 다소 낮은 아질산 농도에서 안정하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 흡착에 의한 Cd(II)의 제거를 위하여 일본 Diaion사에서 제조되고 있는 강산성양이온 교환수지(SK1B)를 흡착제로 사용하여 흡착평형실험, 탈착실험 및 흡착속도실험을 수행하였다. 흡착평형실험에서는 흡착능에 미치는 pH와 온도의 영향을 알아보았고 흡착등온식을 산출하였으며, 탈착실험에서는 재생회수에 대한 수지의 재생율의 변화에 대해서 알아보았다. 흡착속도실험에서는 수지를 미분층 반응기에 채워 유량별로 초기제거속도를 구하여 경막저항이 최소가 되는 최적유량을 구하였으며, 이 최적유량에서 흡착속도실험을 수행하여 총괄흡착속도식을 구하였다. 용액의 pH를 변화(2~7)시켜 제조하여 수지를 투여한 결과 pH가 증가할수록 흡착능이 증가하였으며 pH 6 이상에서는 흡착능이 일정한 경향을 나타내었다. 흡착능에 미치는 온도의 영향은 $10{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 온도가 증가할수록 흡착능도 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 회분식실험을 통해 얻은 자료를 각 흡착등온식에 적용해 본 결과 본 실험의 농도 영역(5~15ppm)에서는 Freundlich 흡착등온식과 Sips 흡착등온식이 Langmuir 흡착등온식보다 더 %편차가 적었다. 탈착제로서 0.01~2N 농도의 HCl 수용액을 사용할 경우에는 탈착제의 농도가 진할수록 흡착제의 재생율이 높았으며 재생 반복회수가 늘어날수록 재생율이 약간씩 감소하였다. 미분층 반응기를 이용한 연속공정실험($25{\pm}5^{\circ}C$)에서 경막확산저항이 최소가 되는 최적유량 $564m{\ell}/min$에서 수행한 수지에 대한 Cd(II) 수용액의 총괄흡착속도식은 다음과 같이 표현될 수 있다. $r=1.3785C_{fc}^{1.2421}-2.0907{\times}10^{0.0746C_i}\;q_e^{0.0121C_i-0.0301}$

Perfluorinated compounds(PFCs), an emerging environmental pollutant, are environmentally persistent and bioaccumulative organic compounds that possess a toxic impact on human health and ecosystems. PFCs are distributed widely in environment media including groundwater, surface water, soil and sediment. PFCs in contaminated solid can potentially leach into groundwater. Therefore, understanding PFCs partitioning between the aqueous phase and solid phase is important for the determination of their fate and transport in the environment. In this study, the sorption equilibrium batch and kinetic experiment of PFCs were carried out to estimated the sorption coefficient(K_d) and the fraction between aqueous-solid phase partition, respectively. Sorption branches of the PFDA(Perfluoro-n-decanoic acid), PFNA(Perfluoro-n-nonanoic acid), PFOA(Perfluoro-n-octanoic acid), PFOS(Perfluoro-1-octane sulfonic acid) and PFHxS(Perfluoro-1-hexane sulfonic acid) isotherms were nearly linear, and the estimated K_d was as follow: PFDA(1.50) > PFOS(1.49) > PFNA(0.81) > PFHxS(0.45) > PFOA(0.39). The sorption kinetics of PFDA, PFNA, PFOA, PFOS and PFHxS onto soil were described by a biexponential adsorption model, suggesting that a fast transport into the surface layer of soil, followed by two-step diffusion transport into the internal water and/or organic matter of soil. Shorter times(<20hr) were required to achieve equilibrium and fraction for adsorption on solid(F₁, F₂) increased with perfluorinated carbon chain length and sulfonate compounds in this study. Overall, our results suggested that not only the perfluorocarbon chain length, but also the terminal functional groups are important contributors to electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between PFCs and soils, and organic matter in soils significantly affects adsorption maximum capacity than kinetic rate.

The kinetics of the thermolysin-catalyzed synthesis of N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-phenylalanyl-L-leucine ethyl ester (Z-Phe-LeuOEt) from N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-phyenylalanine (Z-Phe) and L-leucine ethyl ester (LeuOEt) in an ethyl acetate saturated aqueous system in a batch operation were studied. The kinetics for the synthesis of Z-Phe-LeuOEt were expressed using a rate equation for the rapid equilibrium random bireactant mechanism. The four kinetic constants involved in the rate equation were determined numerically by the quasi-Newton method so as to fit the calculated results with the experimental data. Within the pH and temperature range examined, the $K_{cat}$ value for the synthesis of Z-Phe-LeuOEt reached a maximum at pH 7.0 and $45^{\circ}C$, whereas the affinity between Z-Phe and thermolysin reached a maximum at pH 6.0 adn $40^{\circ}C$. The inhibitory effect of Z-Phe on the condensation reaction decreased as the pH and temperature decreased. In contrast, they affinity between LeuOEt and thermolysin remained unchanged within the pH and temperature range examined. Therefore, it was concluded that the protonation state of the carboxyl groups. of Z-Phe was more imprtant than that of the amono groups of LeuOEt for the synthesis of Z-Phe-LeuOEt in the present solvent system. The equilibrium yield at pH 6.0 and $30^{\circ}C$ was 8% higher than that at pH 7.0 and $40^{\circ}C$, although the rate was much slower. This result suggested that the affinity between the enzyme and the substrate rather than the overall rate was a more important factor affecting the equilibrium yield, when the peptide synthesis was carried out in a product-precipitation system.

폴리카보네이트(Polycarbonate (PC))는 전기, 전자, 자동차, 건축 등 여러 분야에 널리 사용되고 있는 엔지니어링 플라스틱으로 사용량이 점차 증가하고 있다. 일반적으로 PC는 bisphenol A (BPA)와 phosgene을 반응시켜 합성한다. 하지만 이 반응에서 사용되는 phosgene은 심각한 독성을 갖고 있어, 환경 안전 면에서 문제가 제기되고 있다. Phosgene을 대체하기 위해 DPC을 이용하는 공정이 제안되었다. DPC는 DMC (Dimethyl Carbonate)와 Phenol의 에스테르교환 반응에 의해 합성된다. PBO 촉매를 사용한 DPC 합성 반응에 대하여 반응온도, DMC/Phenol의 비 그리고 촉매 농도 변화가 반응 수율에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 또한 DPC 합성 반응에 대한 반응속도 모델을 구하였고 반응속도 모델이 예측한 값이 실험치와 잘 일치함을 보였다.
