Small-pore Cu-chabazite SCR catalysts with high NOx conversion at low temperatures are of interest for marine diesel engines with exhaust temperatures in the range of 150 to $300^{\circ}C$. Unfortunately, fuels for marine diesel engines can contain a high level of sulfur of up to 1.5% by volume, which corresponds to a $SO_2$ level of 500 ppm in the exhaust gases for an engine operating with an A/F ratio of 50:1. This high level of $SO_2$ in the exhaust may have detrimental effects on the NOx performance of the Cu-chabazite SCR catalysts. In the present study, a bench-flow reactor is used to investigate the effects of sulfur poisoning on the NOx performance of Cu-chabazite SCR catalysts. The SCR catalysts were exposed to simulated diesel exhaust gas stream consisted of 500 ppm $SO_2$, 5% $CO_2$, 14% $O_2$, 5% $H_2O$ with $N_2$ as the balance gas at 150, 200, 250 and $300^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours at a GHSV of 30,000 $h^{-1}$. After sulfur poisoning the low-temperature NOx performance of the SCR catalyst is evaluated over a temperature range of 150-$300^{\circ}C$ to determine the extent of the catalyst deactivation. Desulfation is also carried out at 600 and $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes to determine whether it is possible to recover the NOx performance of the sulfur-poisoned SCR Catalysts.

To investigate the sorption characteristics of Cs, which is one of the major isotopes of nuclear waste, on natural zeolite chabazite, XRD, EPMA, EC, pH, and ICP analysis were performed to obtain the informations on chemical composition, cation exchange capacity, sorption kinetics and isotherm of chabazite as well as competitive adsorption with other cations ($Li^+$, $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Rb^+$, $Sr^{2+}$). The chabazite used in this experiment has chemical composition of $Ca_{1.15}Na_{0.99}K_{1.20}Mg_{0.01}Ba_{0.16}Al_{4.79}Si_{7.21}O_{24}$ and its Si/Al ratio and cation exchange capacity (CEC) were 1.50 and 238.1 meq/100 g, respectively. Using the adsorption data at different times and concentrations, pseudo-second order and Freundlich isotherm equation were the most adequate ones for kinetic and isotherm models, indicating that there are multi sorption layers with more than two layers, and the sorption capacity was estimated by the derived constant from those equations. We also observed that equivalent molar fractions of Cs exchanged in chabazite were different depending on the ionic species from competitive ion exchange experiment. The selectivity sequence of Cs in chabazite with other cations in solution was in the order of $Na^+$, $Li^+$, $Sr^{2+}$, $K^+$ and $Rb^+$ which seems to be related to the hydrated diameters of those caions. When the exchange equilibrium relationship of Cs with other cations were plotted by Kielland plot, $Sr^{2+}$ showed the highest selectivity followed by $Na^+$, $Li^+$, $K^+$, $Rb^+$ and Cs showed positive values with all cations. Equilibrium constants from Kielland plot, which can explain thermodynamics and reaction kinetics for ionic exchange condition, suggest that chabazite has a higher preference for Cs in pores when it exists with $Sr^{2+}$ in solution, which is supposed to be due to the different hydration diameters of cations. Our rsults show that the high selectivity of Cs on chabazite can be used for the selective exchange of Cs in the water contaminated by radioactive nuclei.

The objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the ion exchange characteristics of five types of Zeolite(Zeolite-A, 13X, Y, Mordenite, Chabazite) for effective removal of Cs, Sr and Co ions in water solution at low concentration(0.01 N and 0.005 N). Total ion exchange capacity and equilibrium isotherm are measured, and free-energy change(${\Delta}G^0$) and enthalpy change(${\Delta}H^0$) in ion exchange reaction are calculated from experimental results. In addition the ion exchange equilibrium in the three-component system for three types of zeolite showing better efficiency is measured and plotted in triangle coordinates. It is shown from experimental results that the magnitude of free-energy change increases with the increasing ion selectivity, and the difference of free energy change between ions correlates closely with that of ion selectivity. The results also shows that Chabazite is effective for the adsorption of Cs ion, and Zeolite-A and Zeolite-13X for that of Sr and Co ions.

Zeolites are aluminosilicates with a three dimensional framework structure enclosing pores occupied by cation and water molecules, both of which have considerable freedom of movement within certain limits. The ability of zeolites to exchange cation is one of the mere useful of their characteristics. The ion exchange condition of zeolites strongly affects absorption as well as other properties. The application, techniques of identification and evaluation of clinoptilolite, chabazite, mordenite and phillipsite are reviewed.

Of more than 30 varieties of zeolite group minerals, 7 varieties, mordenite, clinoptilolite, natrolite laumontite, stilbite, stellerite and chabazite are identified in Korea, whereas mordenite and clinoptilolite occur in Miocene sediments of small Yonil tertiary basin, east coast of Korea. The basin consists of three separate groups of sediments called Janggi, Gampo and Haseo, which are not correlated stratigraphyically yet. Zeolite occurs alternating with montmorillonite layers in Nuldaeri, Yongdongri and Haseori tuffs of Jahanggi, Gampo and Haseo Groups respectively. Zeolite was formed by diagenesis. of acidic volcanic tuffs.

Breakthrough curves for separation of cesium and strontium binary components from aqueous solutions in fixed bed by chabazite and 13X were experimentally obtained and simulated the breakthrough curves for binary component adsorption. It is shown that agreements between model predictions and experimental data are relatively good although some deviations are observed. From engineering point of view, the simple model used here can be applied to simulate adsorption breakthrough curves satisfactorily.

Large amount of sludge have been generating in the process of water and wastewater treatment in urban area, and it has been making many environmental problems. Currently almost of sludge is landfilled, and since sludge is difficult to handle and dehydrate, the permeated water from the filled-in ground contaminate the surrounding soil and groundwater which may cause serious environmental and sociological problems. The organic component in sludge can be almost removed through the heat treatment process, and the final product is called artificial soil or artificial media according to the temperature control. To produce artificial media using sludge, chabazite and lime were used as an additive, and the mixture of sludge & additives was thermally treated in the firing kiln at about 800~1, 100。C for about fifteen minutes. The physical and chemical characteristics of the produced artificial media were analyzed, and it showed that it can be used as an artificial media for plant production or soil conditioner for farmland. The concentrations of the toxic heavy metals in the artificial media were lower than the soil quality standard for farmland. The characteristics of produced artificial media, using the mixture of sludge and additives through the heat treatment, is similar to the natural chabazite and soil. The analyzed result of the mineral composition of artificial media showed that it has a characteristics similar to natural stable soil, so the produced artificial media may be applied to farmland or water culture without causing adverse effect. Therefore this study showed that the above process can be a feasible alternative for sludge treatment.

Radionuclides such as Cs and Sr were removed from dilute aqueous solutions by means of inorganic adsorbents, 13X and chabazite. The physical adsorption obeyed the DA equation and non-equilibrium dynamic adsorption model, which describes surface diffusion mechanism with the DA equation, simulated the adsorption behavior of cesium and strontium on zeolite in fixed bed adsorbers. The dynamic model simulated the adsorption behavior of cesium and strontium.

The alkali activation products of slag, fly ash C and fly ash F were investigated using compressive strength test and synchrotron x-ray diffraction. We propose that the predominantly amorphous geopolymer formed under ambient conditions is a disordered form of one of the ABC-6 group of zeolites, which includes poly-types such as hydroxycancrinite, hydroxysodalite, chabazite, levyne or fransinite.
