Coconut shell activated carbon (CSAC) was investigated for its ability in the removal of two neutral chlorinated organic compounds, namely trichloroethylene (TCE) and dichloromethane (DCM) from aqueous solution using a packed bed column. The efficiency of the prepared activated carbon was also compared with a commercial activated carbon (CAC). The important design parameters such as flow rate and bed height were studied. In all the cases the lowest flow rate (5 mL/min) and the highest bed height (25 cm) resulted in maximum uptake and per cent removal. The experimental data were analysed using bed depth service time model (BDST) and Thomas model. The regeneration experiments including about five adsorption-desorption cycles were conducted. The suitable elutant selected from batch regeneration experiments (25% isopropyl alcohol) was used to desorb the loaded activated carbon in each cycle.

The biosorption and desorption of Cd were carried out using brown marine algae, known as the good biosorbent of heavy metals. The content of alginate bound to light metals could be changed by the physical and the chemical pretreatment of Sargassum fluitans biomass. The Cd uptake was independent of the alginate content. In case of protonated biomass, Cd uptake was the lowest because the alginic acid of biomass was dissolved to cadmium solution during the biosorption. The maximum Cd uptake of Sargassum biomass was ranged from 79 mg/g to 139 mg/g. In case of raw biomass, the higher the alginate content of biomass, the higher was the Cd uptake. 100% of Cd and light metals sorbed in the biomass were eluted at 0.1N HCI(pH 1.1). However, the elution efficiency in $CaCl_2$ and $Ca{(NO_3)}_2$solution was varied by the concentration, the solid to liquid ratio and the pH of calcium solution. The distribution coefficient between Cd and protons in the desorption solution at pH ranged from 1.6 to 2.9 was observed on the constant stoichometric coefficient(1.3).

Amberite IR 120+양이온 교환수지를 사용하고, 용리액으로 EDTA 용액을 사용하였을 때, 란탄계열원소들($Pr^{3+},\;Nd^{3+},\;Sm^{3+},\;Er^{3+}$)의 분배비와 분리인자에 미치는 온도의 영향과 수지상의 보유이온의 종류에 따르는 영향을 연구하였다. 보유이온들에 있어서는, ${NH_4}^+,\;Na^+,\;K^+,\;Mg^{2+},\;Ca^{2+},\;Zn^{2+}$ 및 $Ce^{3+}$들 중, $Ce^{3+}$이 Nd/Pr의 분리인자를 개선하는데 가장 좋은 효과를 주었으며, $Zn^{2+}$이 Sm/Nd와 Er/Sm이 분리인자를 개선하는데 가장 적당한 보유이온임을 규명하였다. 용리시킬 때 온도의 영향은, 보유이온에 따라 매우 다양하였으며, 온도를 상승시킬 때 분배비는 감소하였다. 그러나 분리인자는 항상 증가하지 않았으며 보유이온이$Ce^{3+}$일 때 온도를 상승시켜 보니, Nd/Pr, Sm/Nd의 분리인자가 증가하였고, 보유이온이 $Zn^{2+}$일 때 온도를 상승시켜 보니 Er/Sm의 분리인자가 증가함을 확인하였다.
