This study evaluated the biosorption properties of calcium ion using Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS). A sequencing batch reactor was used to induce the production of Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) through salinity injection, and the calcium ion adsorption efficiency was analyzed by a batch test. The EPS contents showed significant changes (104-136 mg/g MLVSS) at different salinity concentrations. The calcium ion adsorption efficiency was highest for AGS collected at 5.0% salinity, and it was confirmed that the biosorption efficiency of AGS was increased owing to the increase in EPS content. The results of the Freundlich isotherms showed that the ion binding strength (1/n) was 0.3941-0.7242 and the adsorption capacity ($K_f$) was 2.4082-3.3312. The specific surface area and the pore size of the AGS were $586.1m^2/g$ and 0.7547 nm, respectively, which were not significantly different from each other. It was confirmed that the influence of biological properties, such as EPS content, was relatively large among the factors affecting calcium ion adsorption.

pH, Gibbsite 및 유기물(有機物)이 토양(土壤)에 의한 $SO_4{^=}$의 흡착(吸着)에 미치는 영향을 검토(檢討)하기 위하여 실험(實驗)을 수행(遂行)하였다. 이화학적(理化學的) 성질(性質)이 상이(相異)한 5종(種)의 토양(土壤) (송정(松汀), 고평(高平), 예산(禮山), 교래(橋來), 남원(南原))을 공시(供試)하여 50~400ppm의 농도(濃度) 범위에서 $SO_4{^=}$흡착시험(吸着試驗)을 수행(遂行)한 결과(結果)을 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1. 5종(種) 토양(土壤) 모두 주어진 농도(濃度)범위에서 $SO_4{^=}$흡착(吸着)은 Freundlich 등온흡착식과 잘 일치하였다. 2. 토양현탁액(土壤懸濁液)의 초기(初期) pH를 달리 하였을 때 pH가 낮을수록 $SO_4{^=}$ 흡착량(吸着量)이 증가(增加)하였고 결합(結合)에너지 상수 K값이 직선적(直線的)으로 증가(增加)하였으나 남원토양(南原土壤)에서의 K값은 크게 변화되지 않았다. 3. Gibbsite를 처리(處理)한 토양(土壤)에서 $SO_4{^=}$ 흡착평형(吸着平衡)에 도달(到達)하였을때 pH 변화(變化)는 거의 없었으나 Gibbsite 처리량(處理量)이 증가(增加)함에 따라 흡착율(吸着率)은 거의 모든 토양(土壤)에서 같은 경향(傾向)으로 증가(增加)하였다. 4. Gibbsite 처리(處理)에 의한 흡착(吸着)에 미치는 현탁액(懸濁液)의 pH효과(効果)는 0.1%의 낮은 처리수준(處理水準)에서는 현저하였으나 1.5%의 높은 수준(水準)에서는 거의 없었다. 5. 전분(澱粉), 볏짚, 퇴비(堆肥)를 處理하여 3주간 항온시킨 토양(土壤)에서의 흡착정도(吸着程度)는 전분(澱粉)>볏짚>퇴비(堆肥)의 순(順)이었는데 퇴비(堆肥)를 처리(處理)한 토양(土壤)에서는 오히려 $SO_4{^=}$가 탈착(脫着)되었다.

개시제로 potassium persulfate($K_2S_2O_8$)를 사용하여 methylcellulose(MC)에 중금속 이온과 친화력이 우수한 carboxyl(-COOH)기를 도입하기 위하여 acrylic acid(AA)를 그라프트 공중합시켜 얻어낸 반응생성물(MC-g-AA)을 중금속 이온 흡착제로 적용하였다. MC-g-AA의 그라프트율은 개시제 및 단량체의 농도가 높을수록 증가하였으며 그라프트율 19.7% 이상의 MC-g-AA는 물에 용해되지 않았다. MC-g-AA의 중금속 흡착 특성을 평가하기 위해 MC-g-AA의 기라프트율, 폐수의 pH, 흡착시간, MC-g-AA의 주입량 및 폐수내 $Pb^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$ 이온의 농도에 따른 흡착실험을 진행하였다. 흡착실험 결과 MC-g-AA는 pH $4{\sim}6$ 범위에서 $Pb^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$ 이온에 대한 높은 흡착량을 나타내었으며 그라프트율 및 초기 중금속 이온의 농도가 높을수록 MC-g-AA의 중금속 흡착량은 증가하였으나 MC-g-AA의 주입량이 늘어날수록 MC-g-AA 단위 무게당 흡착량은 감소하였다. MC-g-AA에 의한 중금속 흡착을 Freundlich 등온흡착 모델로 표현한 $Pb^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$ 이온의 l/n은 각각 0.4294, 0.3453로 나타났다.

벤토나이트는 매립지로부터 중금속이 유출되는 것을 저지시키기 위한 라이너 물질로 고려되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국산 벤토나이트를 대상으로 구리 흡착실험을 수행하였으며, 평형관계식과 용액화학 및 반응온도가 구리흡착에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. 구리의 흡착반응은 Freundlich 등온선을 비교적 잘 만족하였으며, 결정된 상수 $K_F=1.18$, n=1.65, 상관계수 $(r^2)=0.97$ 이었다. 구리이온의 분배계수는 주어진 초기용액의 농도범위에서 농도가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 구리이온의 분배계수는 pH가 증가할수록 증가하였으며, pH > 5.3 이상에서는 침전반응으로 인해 그 값이 급격하게 증가하였다. $Na^+$의 이온강도가 증가함에 따라 구리이온의 분배계수 값은 감소하였으며, 반면에 용액 중에 존재하는 $SO_4{^{2-}}$의 농도가 증가할 경우에는 그 값이 증가하였다. 그리고 온도가 증가함에 따라 구리이온의 분배계수는 서서히 감소하였다.

본 연구는 미세플라스틱 주요물질 중의 하나인 PP와 담수상태에서 중금속 사이의 상관관계를 평가하기 위해 등온흡착모델과 다양한 흡착조건하에서 microplastic인 PP에 의한 Cd의 흡착특성을 평가하였다. Microplastic인 PP에 의한 Cd의 흡착경향은 Freundlich 흡착식에 적합하였으며, 주요한 흡착메카니즘은 물리적인 흡착으로 판단된다. 특히, PP에 의한 Cd의 흡착량은 반응시간과 반응온도에 지배적인 영향을 받았으며, 반응시간과 반응온도가 증가할수록 흡착량은 증가하였다. 초기 pH에 따른 흡착결과 PP에 의한 Cd의 흡착은 표면전하와 큰 상관관계가 없었고, FTIR분석을 통한 Cd 흡착 전과 후의 PP작용기에 별 다른 차이가 없어 PP에 의한 Cd의 흡착은 대부분 물리적 흡착으로 판단되었다. 결론적으로 담수상태에서 미세플라스틱인 PP는 Cd과 같은 중금속을 흡착한 후 생물체내로 이동시킬 수 있는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었고, 향후 미세플라스틱에 의한 중금속과 같은 독성물질이동과 전이매개체의 역할과 메커니즘을 규명하기 위한 체계적인 후속연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Color impurity in industrial effluents pose a significant risk to human health and the environment, so much effort has been expended to degrade them using various methods, including the use of clay minerals as adsorbent. The purpose of this study was to advance understanding of the mechanisms for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions onto montmorillonite as an adsorbent. Preliminary experiments showed that montmorillonite was effective for this purpose and adsorption equilibrium could be reached in about 24 h. Adsorption capacity of the clay decreased with increase in temperature and ionic strength, and increased with in pH. The fitness of equilibrium data to common isotherm equations such as the Langmuir, Freundlich, Elovich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich were tested. The Langmuir equation fitted to equilibrium data better than all tested isotherm models. Thermodynamic activation parameters such as ${\Delta}G^0$, ${\Delta}S^0$ and ${\Delta}H^0$ were also calculated and results were evaluated. As result montmorillonite clay was found as effective low cost adsorbent for removal of cationic dyes from waste waters.

The aim of the present study is to explore the possibility of utilizing fly ash and loess, as alternative to activated carbon, for the adsorption of diazinon in water. Batch adsorption experiment was performed to evaluate the influences of various factors like initial concentration, contact time and temperature on the adsorption of diazinon. The adsorption data shows that fly ash is not effective for the adsorption of diazinon. The equilibrium data for both activated carbon and loess were fitted well to the Freundlich isotherm model. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model appeared to be the better-fitting model because it has higher $R^2$ compared to the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic parameters such as free energy (${\Delta}G$), the enthalpy (${\Delta}H$) and the entropy (${\Delta}S$) were calculated. Contrary to loess, the ${\Delta}G$ values of activated carbon were negative at the studied temperatures. It indicates that the adsorption of diazinon by activated carbon is a favorable and spontaneous process. The positive ${\Delta}H$ values of activated carbon and loess suggest that the diazinon adsorption process is endothermic in nature. In addition, the positive ${\Delta}S$ values show that increased randomness occurs at the solid/solution surface during the adsorption of diazinon.

Carboxylated multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) have been used as efficient adsorbents for the removal of picric acid from aqueous solutions under stirring and ultrasound conditions. Batch experiments were conducted to study the influence of the different parameters such as pH, amount of adsorbents, contact time and concentration of picric acid on the adsorption process. The kinetic data were fitted with pseudo-first order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich and intra-particle diffusion models. The kinetic studies were well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model for both methods. In addition, the adsorption isotherms of picric acid from aqueous solutions on the MWCNTs were investigated using six two-parameter models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin, Halsey, Harkins-Jura, Fowler-Guggenheim), four three-parameter models (Redlich-Peterson, Khan, Radke-Prausnitz, and Toth), two four-parameter equations (Fritz-Schlunder and Baudu) and one five-parameter equation (Fritz-Schlunder). Three error analysis methods, correlation coefficient, chi-square test and average relative errors, were applied to determine the best fit isotherm. The error analysis showed that the models with more than two parameters better described the picric acid sorption data compared to the two-parameter models. In particular, the Baudu equation provided the best model for the picric acid sorption data for both methods.

The study was conducted to evaluate the adsorption equilibrium of heavy metals on bone charcoal made of livestock bone which was sintered at $550{\sim}600^{\circ}C$. Analysis of bone charcoal by XRD and FT-IR showed that crystal structure was similar to that of synthetic hydroxyapatite. Adsorption equilibrium capacity of single component (Pb, Cd, and Zn) on bone charcoal could be expressed as Langmuir, Freundlich, and Sips equations. Sips isotherm was best among the three isotherms. The values predicted by IAST(ideal adsorbed solution theory) showed good relationship to the experimental data in multicomponent adsorption equilibrium. Adsorption affinity was in order of Pb, Cd, and Zn. The order was same in case of activated carbon or synthetic hydroxyapatite. Through the study results. it would be expected that bone charcoal made of livestock could be used in field of wastewater treatment plants as adsorbent to remove heavy metal.

An increase in population initiating rapid industrialization was found to consequently increase the effluents and domestic wastewater into the aquatic ecosystem. In this research the potentialities of Sambucus nigra L. (SNL) plant in the remediation of water, contaminated with methylene blue (MB), a basic dye were investigated. SNL was chemically impregnated with $KHCO_3$. Operating variables studied were pH, amount of adsorbent and contact time. In general, pH did not have any significant effect on colour removal and the highest adsorption capacity was obtained in 0.035 g MB/g-activated carbon. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms. The adsorption isotherm data were fitted to the Temkin isotherm. The mass transfer property of the sorption process was studied using Lagergren pseudo-first-order and chemisorption pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The sorption process obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The surface area, pores volume and diameter were assessed by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda methods. The results were compared to those from activated carbon (Merck) and an actual sample. The results indicate that SNL can be employed as a natural and eco-friendly adsorbent material for the removal of dye MB from aqueous solutions.
