Milled Korean pine (Pinus densiflora) wood was used to evaluate its adsorption capacity of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution by running a series of batch experiments. Prior to the tests, the milled woods were pretreated with 1N NaOH, 1N $NHO_3$, and distilled water, respectively, to examine the effect of pretreatment. Within the tested pH range in this study between 3 and 6, copper adsorption efficiency of NaOH-treated wood(96~99%) was superior than $NHO_3$-treated wood(19~31%) and distilled water-treated wood(18~35%). Adsorption behavior of copper onto both raw and $NHO_3$-treated woods was mainly attributed to interaction with carboxylic acid group. For NaOH-treated wood, carboxylate ion produced by hydrolysis was a major functional group responsible for Cu sorption. NaOH treatment of wood changed the ester and carboxylic acid groups into carboxylate group, whereas $NHO_3$ treatment did not affect the production of functional groups which could bind copper. A pseudo second-order kinetic model fitted well for the sorption of copper ion onto NaOH-treated wood. A batch isotherm test using NaOH-treated wood showed that equilibrium sorption data were better represented by the Langmuir model than the Freundlich model.

Mill scale, an iron waste, was used to separate magnetite particles for the adsorption of phosphate from aqueous solution. Mill scale has a layered structure composed of wustite (FeO), magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$), and hematite ($Fe_2O_3$). Because magnetite shows the highest magnetic property among these iron oxides, it can be easily separated from the crushed mill scale particles. Several techniques were employed to characterize the separated particles. Mill scale-derived magnetite particles exhibited a strong uptake affinity to phosphate in a wide pH range of 3-7, with the maximum adsorptive removal of 100%, at the dosage of 1 g/L, pH 3-5. Langmuir isotherm model well described the equilibrium data, exhibiting maximum adsorption capacities for phosphate up to 4.95 and 8.79 mg/g at 298 and 308 K, respectively. From continuous operation of the packed-bed column reactor operated with different EBCT (empty bed contact time) and adsorbent particle size, the breakthrough of phosphate started after 8-22 days of operation. After regeneration of the column reactor with 0.1N NaOH solution, 95-98% of adsorbed phosphate could be detached from the column reactor.

In this paper, a three-dimensional hydrogen absorption model is applied to a thin double-layered annulus ZrCo hydride bed and validated against the temperature evolution data measured by Kang et al. The present model reasonably captures the bed temperature evolution behavior and the 99% hydrogen charging time. The equilibrium pressure expression for hydrogen absorption on ZrCo is derived as a function of temperature and the H/M atomic ratio based on the pressure-composition isotherm data given by Konishi et al. In addition, this present model provides multi-dimensional contours such as temperature and H/M atomic ratio in the thin doublelayered annulus metal hydride region. This numerical study provides fundamental understanding during hydrogen absorption process and indicates that efficient design of the metal hydride bed is critical to achieve rapid hydrogen charging performance. The present three-dimensional hydrogen absorption model is a useful tool for the optimization of bed design and operating conditions.

The activated carbon produced from rubber wood sawdust by chemical activation using phosphoric acid have been utilized as an adsorbent for the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solution in the concentration range 5-40 mg/l. Adsorption experiments were carried out in a batch process and various experimental parameters such as effect of contact time, initial copper ion concentration, carbon dosage, and pH on percentage removal have been studied. Adsorption results obtained for activated carbon from rubber wood sawdust were compared with the results of commercial activated carbon (CAC). The adsorption on activated carbon samples increased with contact time and attained maximum value at 3 h for CAC and 4 h for PAC. The adsorption results show that the copper uptake increased with increasing pH, the optimum efficiency being attained at pH 6. The precipitation of copper hydroxide occurred when pH of the adsorbate solution was greater than 6. The equilibrium data were fitted using Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm equation. The kinetics of sorption of the copper ion has been analyzed by two kinetic models, namely, the pseudo first order and pseudo second order kinetic model. The adsorption constants and rate constants for the models have been determined. The process follows pseudo second order kinetics and the results indicated that the Langmuir model gave a better fit to the experimental data than the Freundlich model. It was concluded that activated carbon produced using phosphoric acid has higher adsorption capacity when compared to CAC.

This study was carried out to investigate the characterization of iron oxide nanotubes (INTs) by anodization method and applied adsorption isotherms and kinetic models for phosphate adsorption. SEM analysis was conducted to examine the INTs surface formation. Further XRD and XPS analysis were performed to observe the crystal structure of INTs before and after phosphate adsorption. AFM analysis was conducted to determine of Fe foil surface before and after anodization. Phosphate stock solution for adsorption experiment was prepared by $KH_2PO_4$. The batch experiment was conducted using 20 ml phosphate stock solution and $40cm^3$ of INTs in 50 ml conical tube. Adsorption isotherms were applied Langmuir and Freundlich models for adsorption equilibrium test of INTs. Pseudo first order and pseudo second order models were applied for interpretation of adsorption rate by reaction time. The determination coefficient ($R^2$) values of Langmuir and Freundlich models were 0.9157 and 0.8876 respectively.

The cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)-modified montmorillonite (MMT) was synthesized via a novel "dissolution and reassembly" method. To determine the optimal formula, the adsorption of C.I. Reactive Red 2 (X3B) with CTAB/MMT was investigated. The optimal CTAB/MMT nanocomposite was used to remove 2,6-dichlorophenol and p-nitrophenol from aqueous solutions. The adsorption results can be described by Langmuir isotherm, and the adsorption capacities were 200 mg/g and 125 mg/g for 2,6-dichlorophenol and p-nitrophenol, respectively. To realize the quick separation and recycle, the magnetic CTAB/MMT was further strategized and synthesized. The adsorption equilibrium time was 15 min for both contaminants; the ions' strength showed a little bit of influence on the adsorption performance. In addition, compared with acidic condition, neutral condition was more beneficial to the adsorption reaction. Due to the addition of $Fe_3O_4$, the adsorption capacities of this magnetic nanocomposite for 2,6-dichlorophenol and p-nitrophenol were a little bit decreased, which were 170 mg/g and 91 mg/g, respectively. However, the magnetic nanocomposite can be separated within 30 s under an external magnetic field, which would be useful in the practical application.

Effect of a nonionic surfactant, Tween 20 on the adsorption and kinetic mechanism for the hydrolysis of a microcrystalline cellulose, Avicel PH 101, by endoglucanase Ⅰ (Endo Ⅰ) and exoglucanase Ⅱ (Exo Ⅱ) isolated from Trichoderma viride were studied. The Langmuir isotherm parameters, amount of maximum adsorption (Amax) and adsorption equilibrium constant (Kad) for the adsorption, were obtained in the presence and the absence of nonionic surfactant. On the addition of Tween 20, the Kad and Amax values of Exo Ⅱ were decreased, while those of Endo Ⅰ were not affected. These indicate that the adsorption affinity of Exo Ⅱ on the cellulose is weakened by nonionic surfactant, and the surfactant enhanced desorption of Exo Ⅱ from insoluble substrate. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the cellulose can be described by two parallel pseudo-first order reactions using the percentages of easily (Ca) and hardly (Cb) hydrolyzable cellulose in Avicel PH 101 and associated rate constants (ka and kb). The Ca value was increased by adding Tween 20 for all enzyme samples (Exo Ⅱ, Endo Ⅰ and their 1:1 mixture) implying that the low-ordered crystalline fraction in the cellulose may be partly dispersed by surfactant. The ka value was not affect by adding Tween 20 for all enzyme samples (Exo Ⅱ, Endo Ⅰ and their 1:1 mixture). The kb value of Exo Ⅱ was increased by adding Tween 20, while that of Endo Ⅰ was not affected. This suggests that the surfactant helps the Exo Ⅱ desorb from microcrystalline cellulose, and increase the hydrolysis rate. These results were show that the increase of hydrolysis of cellulose by the nonionic surfactant is due to both the activation of Exo Ⅱ and partial defibrillation of the cellulose.

This study proposes the use of a cobalt-based Prussian blue analogue (Co-PBA; potassium cobalt hexacyanoferrate), as an adsorbent for the cost-effective recovery of aqueous ammonium ions. The characterization of Co-PBA involved various techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis, and zeta potential. The prepared Co-PBA reached an adsorption equilibrium for ammonium ions within approximately 480 min, which involved both surface adsorption and subsequent diffusion into the interior. The isotherm experiment revealed a maximum adsorption capacity of 37.29 mg/g, with the Langmuir model indicating a predominance of chemical monolayer adsorption. Furthermore, the material consistently demonstrated adsorption efficiency across a range of pH conditions. Notably, adsorption was observed even when competing cations were present. Co-PBA emerges as a readily synthesized adsorbent, underscoring its efficacy in ammonium removal and selectivity toward ammonium.

방사성 폐기물의 주요 성분 중 하나인 Cs의 자연에서 정출되는 제올라이트인 차바자이트(chabazite)에 대한 흡착 특성을 알아보기 위해 XRD, EPMA, EC, pH, ICP 분석방법을 이용하여 동정 및 화학성분 분석을 하였다. 그리고 추가적으로 양이온 교환능력을 확인하였고 시간과 농도에 따른 Cs 흡착 및 타 양이온($Li^+$, $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Rb^+$, $Sr^{2+}$)에 대한 경쟁흡착 실험을 실시하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 차바자이트의 화학식은 $Ca_{1.15}Na_{0.99}K_{1.20}Mg_{0.01}Ba_{0.16}Al_{4.79}Si_{7.21}O_{24}$였고 Si/Al 비율과 양이온 교환능력은 각각 1.50와 238.1 meq/100 g으로 측정되었다. 시간과 농도에 따른 Cs 흡착 등온 실험결과를 흡착 반응 속도 모델과 등온 흡착 모델에 적용해본 결과 각각 유사 2차 반응과 Freundlich 모델에 부합하였으므로 고체 표면에 흡착 물질이 2개 이상의 다중 흡착 층을 이루는 것을 알 수 있으며 모델로부터 유도되는 상수 값을 통해 차바자이트의 Cs 흡착 능력정도를 평가하였다. 경쟁 흡착 실험 결과 이온의 종류에 따라 이온 교환되어 차바자이트 내에 존재하는 Cs의 몰 분율에서 차이를 보였다. 각 양이온과 세슘과의 액체에서 고체 내로 흡착되는 경쟁 경향이 $Na^+$, $Li^+$, $Sr^{2+}$, $K^+$ 그리고 $Rb^+$ 순으로 선택성이 있었으며 이는 수화 직경의 순서와 유사한 양상을 보였다. Kielland 도시법을 이용하여 Cs과 타 양이온의 교환 평형관계를 도시해 보았을 때에는 $Sr^{2+}$가 가장 선택성이 높았으며 그 다음으로 $Na^+$, $Li^+$, $K^+$, $Rb^+$ 순으로 선택성이 나타났고 모든 타 양이온에 대하여 양의 값을 나타내었다. Kielland 도시법에서 나타나는 평형상수 값의 순서는 열역학 및 반응 속도론적인 의미를 내포하고 있으므로 수용액에서 공극 내로 들어가는 Cs은 $Sr^{2+}$과의 공존 시 선호도가 높다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이는 경쟁하고 있는 수화된 양이온 간의 직경 차이가 원인일 것으로 추측된다. 본 연구 결과는 차바자이트가 높은 Cs 친화력을 가지는 것을 보여줌으로써 방사성 물질로 오염된 물에서 Cs을 선택적으로 교환할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

Red mud의 염산처리와 열처리에 의한 불소의 제거 특성을 살펴보고자 동역학적 흡착, 평형흡착, pH, 흡착제의 주입량에 따른 흡착특성, 그리고 칼럼을 이용한 연속식 조건에서의 불소흡착 특성을 살펴보았다. Red mud의 산처리는 HCl 0.8 M 농도에서 효과적이었고, 열처리 온도가 높음에 따라 흡착량이 감소하였다. 0.8 M로 산처리한 Red mud (0.8 M-ATRM)의 동역학적실험 결과 초기농도 50 mg-F/L는 30분대에 평형농도에 도달하였고, 초기농도 500 mg-F/L에서는 1시간대 흡착평형을 나타내었다. 0.8 M-ATRM은 단층흡착을 가정한 Langmuir 모델에 잘 부합하였고, 최대흡착량($Q_m$)은 23.162 mg/g으로 나타났다. 또한 낮은 pH에서 높은 불소 흡착경향을 나타내었다. 이는 높은 pH에서 불소와 $OH^-$가 경쟁관계를 형성하기 때문으로 판단된다. 0.8 M-ATRM의 주입량이 증가 할수록 제거율은 높아졌지만, 단위질량당 흡착량은 감소하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 0.8 M-ATRM은 가격이 저렴할 뿐만 아니라 불소에 높은 흡착능을 나타내어 수중 불소 제거에 효과적인 흡착소재로 판단된다.
