The mechanism of intracellular accumulation of cadmium in a cadmium-ion tolerant yeast, Hansenula ammala B-7, which is an extreme cadmium tolerant strain and has the ability to take up a large amount of cadmium was investigated. The amounts of cadmium taken up by the scalded yeast cells were 2 to 3 times more than the value of the living cells. The living Hansenula anomala B-7 cells adsorbed 74% of cadmium taken up onto the other layer of the cells and 26% of it accumulated inside the cells. But the scalded cells adsorbed 98.3% of cadmium taken up and accumulated 1.7% of it inside the cells. A cadmium uptake and its accumulation were accelerated up to 162.3% and 275.4% by Triton X-100 in the living cells, respectively. Whereas in the scalded cell cadmium uptake was not affected by Triton X-100. Furthermore the cadmium uptake and its accumulation were strongly inhibited by metabolic inhibitors like 2,4-dinitrophenol, sodium azide and potassium cyanide in the living cells, but in the scalded cells cadmium uptake was not affected by metabolic inhibitors. These results suggested that the intracellular accumulation of cadmium by the cadmium-tolerant Hansenula anomala B-7 cells was apparently dependent of biological activity, and also gave evidence of the existance of energy-dependent system.

The purpose of this research is to develop the technique of heavy metal removal from wastewater. The research is divided into two parts, one part uses complex precipitation and the other uses adsorption. In the first part of the study, humic acid is used as the complex agent, humic acid is a polyelectrolyte with a high complexation affinity. Lead, copper, zinc and cadmium were studied for their complex precipitation efficiencies. In the batch studies, humic acid was effective in removing 100% of the lead and 48.2% of the copper respectively from wastewater without anytreatment. The efficiency of cadmium and zinc, however, was very low. In the second part of the study, wastewater is introduced at the top of a silicagel adsorption column and then bottom effluent concentration is analyzed. The results of the analysis are used to draw a breakthrough curve.

Oxidized activated carbons were prepared by reacting steam-activated carbon developed from pecan shells with nitric acid of varying strength (15, 30, 45 and 60%). The textural properties and the chemistry of the surface of the non-oxidized and of the oxidized carbons were determined from nitrogen adsorption and base neutralization capacities. The uptake of Pb(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solution by these carbons was determined by kinetic and equilibrium experiments as well as by the column method. Treatment with nitric acid brought about drastic decrease in surface area and remarkable increase in the pore size of the carbon with these changes depending on the strength of nitric acid. Nitric acid increased the surface acidity by developing new surface oxygen functional groups of acidic nature. $HNO_3$-oxidized carbons exhibited high adsorption capacities for Pb(II) and Cd(II). The adsorption of these ions increased with the decrease of the surface pH of the carbon and with the increase of the solution pH from 2.5 to 6 and 7. The amount adsorbed from lead and cadmium was also related to the amount of surface acidity, the pH of the point of zero charge and on some metal ion parameters. Cadmium and lead uptake by the investigated carbons followed pseudo-second order model and the equilibrium sorption data fitted Langmuir adsorption model.

Lead(II) removal efficiency by natural kaolinite was investigated through laboratory experiments. This study was conducted in two phases-sorption and desorption. In the adsorption study, the influence of sorption kinetics and sorption isotherm and various parameters such as pH, temperature, coexisting other heavy metal ions on the lead adsorption was investigated. And desorption study was carried out in order to find the re-usability of kaolinite as an adsorbent. The results of the study are as follows. 1. Sorption kinetics was investigated under the condition of 2.5 mg/l adsorbent concentration, pH 6.5$\pm$0.05, temperature $30\pm 0.5\circ$C, initial lead(II) concentration 25 mg/l. Adsorption rate was initially rapid and the extent of adsorption arrived at adsorption equilibrium with 73% adsorption efficiency in an hour. 2. The sorption isotherm experiment was made with different initial lead(II) concentration. A linearized Freundlich equation was used to fit the acquired experimental data. As a result, Freundlich constants, the sorption intensity (1/n) was 0.47 and the measure of sorption (k) was 2.44. So, it was concluded that sorption of lead(II) by kaolinite is effective. 3. The effect of pH on lead(II) sorption by kaolinite shows that at a pH of 3, only 6% of the total lead(II) was adsorbed and at a pH 9, 97% of the lead(II) was removed. And the effect of temperature on lead(II) sorption by kaolinite shows that as the temperature increased, the amount of lead(II) sorption per unit weight of kaolinite increased. But the effect was minor (p<0.05). 4. Sorption isotherm of lead coexisting cadmium (II) or zinc (II) was lower than that of lead itself. It was caused by the result of competitive sorption to adsorption site. And there was no difference between the sorption isotherm of cadmium and zinc. 5. In desorption studies, only 5.12% desorption took place in distilled water, while 52.08% in 0.1 N hydrochloric acid. Consequently used kaolinite could be regenerated by hydrochoric acid.

The purpose of this study is to promote utilization of paper mill sludge as an adsorbent for stabilizing heavy metals in contaminated water by measuring the adsorption capacity of paper mill sludge for cadmium and arsenic. To measure adsorption capacity of paper mill sludge, sorption isotherm experiments were analyzed by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Also, two methods of chemical modifications were applied to improve the adsorption capacities of paper-mill-sludge: the first method used sodium hydroxide (NaOH), called PMS-1, and the second method used the NaOH and tartaric acid ($C_4H_6O_6$) together, called PMS-2. For Cd adsorption, PMS-1 presented the increase of reactivity while PMS-2 presented the decline of reactivity compared to that of untreated paper-mill-sludge. In case of As adsorption, both PMS-1 and PMS-2 showed the decrease of adsorption capacities. This is because zeta-potential of paper mill sludge was changed to more negative values during chemical modification process due to the hydroxyl group in NaOH and the carboxyl group in $C_4H_6O_6$, respectively. Therefore, we may conclude that the chemical treatment process increases adsorption capacity of paper mill sludge for cation heavy metals such as Cd but not for As.

토양과 토양용액의 경계면에서 토양내 흡착부위에 대해 경쟁적 이온이 존재할 때 카드늄의 흡착 현상을 연구하기 위하여, 토양의 Bt층으로부터 토양시료를 채취하여 토양의 물리화학적 특성을 분석하였다. 한편 Ethy-lone glycol monoethyl ether(EGME)와 질소가스를 가지고 각각의 토양의 특정표면적을 조사하였다. 토양층 내에서 토양입자와 반응성을 지닌 물질의 동태를 연구하는 일반적 지침으로, 물리화학적 특성이 완전히 다른 토양을 가지고 일반적인 등온흡착곡선을 취하였다. 단일 등온흡착곡선에서 보여 주었던 것처럼 물질간의 경쟁적흡착을 포함한 여러가지의 물리 화학적 요인들이 흡착에 영향을 미칠 것으로 추정된다. 한편 각각의 토양입자에 의한 카드늄 흡착의 정도는 사용된 토양과 용액의 회석 비율뿐만 아니라 각각의 토양의 표면적에 의존한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 서로 다른 토양에서의 카드늄이 마그네시움과의 경쟁적 흡착에서도 적용되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 등온흡착곡선은 유해한 무기성분의 흡착과 동태 해석 뿐만 아니라 표준 배취흡착과정을 연구개발하는데 복합 요인으로 작용한다는 것을 증명하기 위한 예로서 사용할 수 있다.

The potentials of Ni_xZn_1-xFe₂O₄ (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0) nanoadsorbents were investigated for removal of Cd and Cr from contaminated water from an electroplating industry in Himachal Pradesh, India. Optimal values were recorded under batch adsorption experiments performed to remove dissolved heavy metal ions from industrial wastewater. The specific surface area (SSA) of nanoadsorbents perceived to vary in a range 35.75-45.29 cm²/g and was calculated from the XRD data. The influence of two operating parameters, contact time and dopant (Ni) concentration was also investigated at pH ~7 with optimum dosage. Kinetic studies were conducted within a time range of 2-10 min with rapid adsorption of cadmium and chromium ions onto Ni_0.2Zn_0.8Fe₂O₄ nanoadsorbents. Pseudo-second-order kinetic model was observed to be well fitted with the adsorption data that confirmed the only existence of chemisorption throughout the adsorption process. The maximum adsorption efficiency values observed for Cd and Cr were 51.4 mg/g and 40.12 mg/g, respectively for different compositions of prepared series of nanoadsorbents. The removal percentage of Cd and Cr was found to vary in a range of 47.7%-95.25% and 21%-50% respectively. The prepared series of nanoferrite found to be suitable enough for adsorption of both heavy metal ions.

이 연구는 중금속 오염물질의 효과적인 정화를 위하여 배수재에 흡착가능한 오염물질의 양을 평가하는 것이고 배수재의 오염 물질 흡착능은 배수재 필터에 도포된 반응물질의 오염물질 흡착시험을 수행하고, 등온흡착모델과 비교하여 평가하였다. 시험에서 사용한 반응물질은 천연 제올라이트이고, 오염물질은 구리, 납, 카드뮴이다. 오염물질별로 초기농도 변화에 따른 흡착량을 Freundlich와 Langmuir흡착등온모델과 비교하였다. 배수재 표면에 도포된 반응물질 성분분석결과 Si, Al, O의 성분이 각각 약 28%, 11%, 48% 포함되어 있어 배수재 표면에 도포된 물질이 중금속(Cu, Pb, Cd) 오염물질 흡착을 위한 반응물질인 제올라이트의 성분으로 나타났다. 반응물질인 제올라이트의 중금속 흡착반응속도는 납, 구리, 카드뮴의 순으로 나타났다. 흡착물질의 성능평가 중 중요한 요소가 반응속도이고, 최대흡착량과 반응속도의 관계에서 제올라이트를 반응물질로 사용할 경우, 지반내 복합중금속의 제거 순서를 결정하는 설계 요소로 활용할 수 있다. 즉, 납은 구리에 비해 최대흡착량은 작지만 상대적으로 반응속도가 빠르므로 1차적으로 제거가 가능하며, 납의 제거 후 구리의 제거가 가능하다. 카드뮴의 경우 다른 중금속의 제거 후 마지막으로 제거가 가능한 것으로 분석되었다.

Adsorption and precipitation of cadmium (Cd) could be dependent on rate of P addition and Cd level in soil. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine how addition rate of P affect mechanisms of Cd immobilization such as adsorption and precipitation in different levels of Cd in soil. Arable soils were spiked with inorganic Cd ($CdCl_2$) to give a total Cd concentration of 10, 100, and $1,000mg\;Cd\;kg^{-1}$. Monopotassium phosphate ($KH_2PO_4$, MPP) was selected as phosphate material and mixed with the pretreated arable soil at the rates of 0, 800, 1,600 and $3,200mg\;P\;kg^{-1}$. The mixture soils were incubated at $25^{\circ}C$ for 8 weeks in dark condition. Soil pH decreased with increasing MPP addition rate in all levels of Cd but negative charge of soil increased, thereby reducing 1 M $NH_4OAc$ extractable Cd. Soil solutions were undersaturated with respect to $CdCO_3$ and $Cd_3(PO_4)_2$ with all P addition rate in soil with low Cd level (${\leq}100mg\;Cd\;kg^{-1}$) but supersaturated in soil with high Cd level ($1,000mg\;Cd\;kg^{-1}$). From the above results, Cd solubility was controlled by precipitation of Cd minerals such as $CdCO_3$ and $Cd_3(PO_4)_2$ in soil with high Cd level but by Cd adsorption induced by increase in negative charge of soil with low level of Cd.
