In recent years, the demand of activated carbon has been increasing steadily because of the environmental problems. Among them waste and water treatment and removal of poisonous gas were invorved. Therefore, in this study, activated carbon was made from the waste chinese cabbage and measured the iodine adsorption ability, carbonization yield, and activation yield of the produced activated carbon. The result showed that the carbonization yield was decreased when carbonization temperature was increaed and that the optimal carbonization temperature was $600{\circ}C$. The optimal concentration of NaOH for removing ash in the raw sample was 1~2N. The range of iodine adsorption number of activated carbon using chinese cabbage at $600{\circ}C$. carbonization was 610.82mg/g to 1019.58mg/g. The activation result of carbonization sample showed that the optimal activation condition was the carbonization at $400\circ}C$ and the activation at$700{\circ}C$. So the production of activated carbon using chinese cabbage was possible in the aspect of reuse of resource and decrease of environmental pollution compared to the commercial activated carbon.

There is a need for waste recycling. This study was carried out to investigate removal efficiency of TCE in water treatment with adsorbent made from coffee grounds which obtained after extraction of coffee through hot water. The removal of TCE in synthetic Waste water using adsorbents was examined varying dose, concentration and temperature on a laboratory scale. The results were as followed 1. As much as 95% TCE remogal was possible with adsorbent made from coffee grounds at an adsorbent dose over 2.5 g/l under the test conditions. 2. The removal rate of TCE was propotional to weight of adsorbent made from coffee grounds (0.025, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 g). 3. In the effect of temperature, as temperature of wastewater was high, the rate of removal was increased. 4. Iodine number (865 mg/g) of adsorbent made from coffee grounds was not higher than that (1123 mg/g) of adsorbent made from coconut. But, in considering adsorption capacity, Iodine number was inapplicable to adsorbent made from coffee grounds. 5. Generally, Freundlich's equation applies to adsorption in wastewater. In case of TCE, slope (1/n) was 0.83, 1.06 and intercept (k) was 456.18, 405.19 at 150, 300 ppb respectively (average r=0.904, 0.933).

Using Na₂CO₃ versus NaCl as chemical activator, we compared the quality of activated carbon produced from oil palm fronds as raw material. These activators were selected for comparison because both are readily available and are environmentally friendly. In the manufacturing, we used Indonesian National Standard (SNI 06-3730-1995) parameters. For the quality comparison, we determined activated-carbon yield, moisture, ash, volatiles, and fixed-carbon contents; and adsorption capacity of iodine. The best characteristics, assessed by morphological surface analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectral analysis, were observed in the carbon activated by Na₂CO₃ at an activator concentration of 10% and carbonization temperature of 400 ℃. The results were as follows: activated-carbon yield, 84%; water content, 8.80%; ash content, 2.20%; volatiles content, 14.80%; fixed-carbon content, 68.60%; and adsorption capacity of iodine, 888.51 mg/g. Identification using the FTIR spectrophotometer showed the presence of the functional groups O-H, C=O, C=C, C-C, and C-H in the Na₂CO₃-activated carbon.

탄화온도 차이에 따른 목질 탄화물의 중금속 흡착성 변화를 알아보기 위하여, 신갈나무(Quercus mongolica) 목부와 낙엽송(Larix kaempferi) 수피분말을 $400{\sim}900^{\circ}C$에서 탄화하였다. 목질 탄화물의 pH는 재료의 종류와 관계없이 탄화온도의 증가와 함께 증가하여 $900^{\circ}C$의 목탄 및 수피탄은 각각 10.8, 10.4를 나다내었다. 또한 탄화 온도 증가와 함께 탄소함량비가 증가하고 동일 탄화온도에서 목탄에 비해 수피탄의 탄소함량비가 큰 경향을 보였다. 액상흡착력을 나타내는 요오드흡착력은 목탄이 수피탄보다 다소 큰 경향을 나타내었다. 이러한 특성을 지닌 목탄과 수피탄에 의한 15ppm의 Cd, Zn 및 Cu 중금속용액에 대한 흡착제거율을 조사한 바, 높은 탄화온도에서 제조된 목탄과 수피탄일수록 높은 중금속제거율을 나타내었으며, 탄화물 종류에 있어서는 목탄이 수피탄 보다 높은 중금속 제거율을 나타내는 경향이 있었다. 특히 목탄의 경우, $500^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 제조된 탄화물 0.2 g의 사용으로 거의 100%에 가까운 제거율을 나타내었다. 한편 흡착질 종류에 있어서의 제거성능에는 다소 차이가 있으며, 본 연구에서 사용한 탄화물의 흡착성은 Cu>Cd>Zn 순으로 높았다. 이는 목탄과 같은 흡착제와 흡착의 대상이 되는 흡착질과의 물리 화학적 상호관계가 흡착에 영향을 주기 때문으로 목탄의 흡착효율을 높이기 위해서는 이에 대한 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

In this study, activated carbon fabric was prepared from a cellulose-based polymer (viscose rayon) via a combination of physical and chemical activation (mixed activation) processes by means of $CO_2$ as a gasifying agent and surface and adsorption properties were evaluated. Experiments were performed to investigate the consequence of activation temperature (750, 800, 850 and $925^{\circ}C$), activation time (15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes) and $CO_2$ flow rate (100, 200, 300 and 400 mL/min) on the surface and adsorption properties of ACF. The nitrogen adsorption isotherm at 77 K was measured and used for the determination of surface area, total pore volume, micropore volume, mesopore volume and pore size distribution using BET, t-plot, DR, BJH and DFT methods, respectively. It was observed that BET surface area and TPV increase with rising activation temperature and time due to the formation of new pores and the alteration of micropores into mesopores. It was also found that activation temperature dominantly affects the surface properties of ACF. The adsorption of iodine and $CCl_4$ onto ACF was investigated and both were found to correlate with surface area.

Every year, 1.1 million tons of rice-hull are produced in South Korea by the by-product in pounding rice. But they has mainly been utilized as a fuel, agricultural compost and moisture proofs. So, it's very valuable to use waste rice-hull for activated carbon manufacture. SiO2 content was the highest among inorganics in rice-hull. Therefore, the SiO2 extraction experiments were carried out under the various conditions of pH 9 to 14, reaction time from 2 to 24 hrs and various temperature of 20 to 100℃. The results showed that increase in pH and temperature enhanced SiO2 extraction from the carbonized rice-hull. The surface area of the carbonized rice-hull indicating activated carbon adsorption capacity was very small as 178∼191 m2/g at first. However, it was increased to 610∼675 m2/g when extracted in alkali solution at 100℃. When the mixing rate of carbonized rice-hull and NaOH was 1:1.5, iodine No. and surface area of activated rice-hull during 10 min at 700℃ were 1,650 mg/g and 1837 m2/g, respectively. Subsequently, an activated carbon with specific surface area of 1,300∼1,900m2/g was manufactured in a short contact time of 10∼30 min with a mixing rate of 1:1.5 in carbonized rice-hull and NaOH, and iodine No. and specific surface area increased as the amount of SiO2 removal increased.

This study aimed to obtain equilibrium concentration on adsorption removal of phosphorus by activated carbon, to express the adsorption characteristics following Freundlich isotherm and also, based on the value obtained, to investigate the relationship between physical properties of activated carbon and dynamics of phosphorus removal by obtaining rate constant and effective pore diffusivity. The results summarized from this study are as follows. Phosphorus adsorption equilibrium reaching time of powdered activated carbon was reduced as the dosage of activated carbon increases, while granular activated carbon despite increased dosage did not have influence on adsorption equilibrium reaching times of phosphorus as well, taking more than 10 hours. It was also noted that powdered activated carbon showed better adsorption ability than granular activated carbon. The value of constant (f) of Freundlich isotherm of powered activated carbon on phosphorus was 4.26 which is bigger than those of granular activated carbon. The adsorption rate constant on phosphorus of powered activated carbon with low effective diameter and iodine number was highest as $8.888hr^{-1}$ and the effective pore diffusivity ($D_e$) was lowest as $2.45{\times}10^{-5}cm^2/hr$, and the value of phosphorus adsorption rate constant of granular activated carbon was $0.174{\sim}0.372hr^{-1}$, It was revealed that, with the same amount of dosage, the adsorptive power of activated carbon with lower effective diameter was better and its rate constant was also high.

The effect of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) on global warming is serious problem. The adsorption with solid sorbents is one of the most appropriate options. In this study, the most interesting adsorbent is granular activated carbon (GAC). It is suitable material for $CO_2$ adsorption because of its simple availability, many specific surface area, and low-cost material. Afterwards, GAC was impregnated with chitosan solution as impregnated granular activated carbon (CGAC) in order to improve the adsorption capacity of GAC. This research aims to compare the physical and chemical characteristics of GAC and CGAC. The experiment was carried out to evaluate the efficiency of $CO_2$ adsorption between GAC and CGAC. The results indicated that the iodine number of GAC and CGAC was 137.17 and 120.30 mg/g, respectively. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller results (BET) of both GAC and CGAC show that specific surface area was 301.9 and $531.3m^2/g$, respectively; total pore volume was 0.16 and $0.29cm^3/g$, respectively; and mean diameter of pore was 2.18 and 2.15 nm, respectively. Finally, the $CO_2$ adsorption results of both GAC and CGAC in single column how the maximum adsorption capacity was 0.17 and 0.25 mol/kg, respectively; how degeneration time was 49.6 and 80.0 min, respectively; and how the highest efficiency of $CO_2$ adsorption was 91.92% and 91.19%, respectively.
