This study aimed to develop a new dust collecting system equipped with an activated carbon (A.C.) coated electrode. Before fabrication, pre-treatment of A.C. was performed to remove metal ions within the A.C. to enlarge its specific surface area. Then, pre-treated A.C., black carbon, polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), and methanol were mixed to make a gel compound, which was coated onto aluminum plates to fabricate electrodes. The optimal mixing ratio of A.C., black carbon, PVAc, and methanol was found to be 10 g: 2 g: 3 g: 20 mL. After fabrication, the electrodes were used in the batch-type experiment for $NH_3$ and $H_2S$ removal. The reduction rates of the gases were high at the beginning and slowly reduced with time. Dust collection experiments were conducted in continuous flow, with various voltages applied. Compared to 5 kV, dust removal efficiency was 1.5 times higher when 10 kV was applied. Increasing the number of electrodes applied also increased the collecting efficiency. The correlation coefficient between actual collecting efficiency and trend line was higher than 99%. Consequently, the novel dust collection system equipped with A.C. coated electrode appears to be a promising substitute for existing dust-control devices.

본 연구에서는 염산처리에 의하여 표면 개질된 활성탄소 섬유에 TNB (titanium n-butoxide) 용액을 침투시켜 $ACF/TiO_2$ 광촉매를 제조하였다. 염산 처리에 의하여 표면 기능기가 증가된 다공성 탄소에 형성된 $TiO_2$의 특성화에 연구의 관점을 두었다. TNB가 $TiO_2$로 변화되는 산처리 효과는 $ACF/TiO_2$ 광촉매제조에 상당히 중요한 요소임을 확인하였다. 표면 특성분석 결과로부터, BET 비표면적과 전체 동공부피는 산처리 양이 증가함에 따라 표면의 이산화티탄 화합물 형성과 함께 감소함을 나타내었다. 염산처리에 의해 형성된 $ACF/TiO_2$ 계에 대한 X-선 회절 변화로부터, 염산을 처리하지 않은 FT와 0.05, 0.1 M 처리된 FT1, FT2의 3가지 시료의 경우, 주요한 회절선의 피크는 아나타제의 결정상을 나타내었으며, 0.5M 처리된 FT3의 경우 아나타제와 루타일의 두 가지 형상이 나타났다. SEM 결과로부터, 전처리 하기전과 후에 활성탄소섬유 주변에 형성된 화합물들의 분포가 현저하게 다름을 알 수 있었으며, 이러한 현상은 산처리 효과의 우수성을 설명하고 있다. EDX 결과에 의하면, 모든 시료의 스펙트럼은 C, Ti와 O의 피크가 주요한 특징적 피크로 크게 나타났음을 보여 주고 있다. 마지막으로 MB (methylene blue)의 제거 효율에 근거하여, MB 농도 감소는 활성탄소섬유의 흡착효과와 $TiO_2$의 우수한 광분해 효과에 대한 두 가지 복합적인 결과로 설명할 수 있다.

A mixed adsorbent prepared by pyrolysing a mixture of carbon and flyash in 1:1 ratio was tested for its deceleration ability for three different classes of dyes, namely Astrazone Blue FRR(C.I. Basic Blue 69), Teflon Blue ANL(C.I. Acid Slue 125) and Verofix Red(Reactive Red 3GL). Equilibrium investigations were carried out at the optimum conditions obtained in the previous studies. The equilibrium data fitted reasonably well to both the Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models. However the Langmuir model was more appropriate to describe the adsorption behavior of the dyes to the hybrid absorbent system compared with the Freundlich model. The mixed adsorbent cm be an low-cost alternative to activated carbons.

$MnO_2$와 K 또는 Cu 담지 활성탄으로 이루어진 혼성촉매상에서 암모니아를 환원제로 사용한 NO의 저온 선택적 촉매 환원반응을 수행하였다. 반응물에 산소를 투입한 경우 NO의 제거율은 증가하였으며, 활성탄에 전이금속을 담지할 경우 탈질 효율이 증가한다. 수분이 존재하지 않는 경우 $MnO_2$와 K 담지 활성탄으로 이루어진 혼성촉매가 $120^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 가장 높은 탈질 효율을 보였으나, 수분이 존재할 경우 모든 촉매의 활성은 현저하게 떨어졌다. 수분 존재 시 $MnO_2$와 질산처리/열처리를 한 Cu 담지 활성탄을 물리적으로 1 : 1 (w/w) 비율로 혼합한 촉매가 $MnO_2$와 Cu 담지 활성탄을 단독으로 사용한 것에 비해 탈질효율이 더 우수하였다.

Biological treatment of RO concentrate from wastewater reuse process is known to be very difficult due to its high concentration of non-degradable organics and salt ions such as chloride, nitrate and phosphate. In this research, the treatment performance of MBR was examined using RO concentrate mixed with raw wastewater as the influent of MBR. Addition of PAC (powdered activated carbon) to MBR was also evaluated in order to enhance the treatment performance and stability. The performance of MBR for treating only RO concentrate decreased gradually although external carbon source was added. The average removal performance of MBR with and without PAC decreased from 99.1 %(98.8 %) to 94.9 %(91.4 %) for COD, 81.3 %(80.3 %) to 42.0 %(41.9 %) for T-N and 57.3(55.0 %) to 30.0 %(21.0 %) for T-P with the increase of RO concentrate mixing rate of 0 % to 20 % in the feed water. Addition of PAC showed positive effect on the performance of MBR for the removal of COD and phosphorus in case that the ratio of RO concentrate to feed water increased.

In this study, we used activated carbon (AC) and titanium oxysulfate as a titanium precursor to prepare carbon/titania composites. We then mixed it with bentonite in different ratios to make a carbon/titania/bentonite monolith for use in architecture bricks by using Phenolic rosin (PR) as a bonding agent. The physicochemical properties of the prepared composites were analyzed by BET surface area, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), self-cleaning effect and bactericidal tests. The BET surface areas increased as the ratio of carbon/titania composites increased. The SEM microscopy showed that the $TiO_2$ and bentonite were coated on the surface of the AC. The XRD patterns showed a mixture structure of anatase and rutile of $TiO_2$ with a clear $SiO_2$ structure. The EDX spectra of the carbon/titania/bentonite monolith confirmed the presence of various elements, namely C, O, Ti and Si, as well as other, impure elements. Moreover, to determine the self-cleaning effect of the carbon/titania/bentonite monolith, we used methylene blue (MB, $C_{16}H_{18}N_3S{\cdot}Cl{\cdot}3H_2O$) in an aqueous solution under the irradiation of visible light. Accordingly, all of the samples had excellent degradation of the MB solution. Furthermore, it was observed that the composites with sunlight irradiation had a greater effect on E. coli than any other experimental conditions.

Control of Trihalomethanes(THMs) is a major concern of many water treatment plants. A number of researchers have studied the effectiveness of activated carbon adsorption process in removing THMs or organic halogen compounds. Recently, attention has been paid to the biological activated carbon (BAC) treatment of THM precursors as an alternative to the carbon adsorption treatment because of its effectiveness as well as its low running cost. In this study, changes of THM formation potential(THMFP) and removal of substrates in the SBR effluent were investigated in an attempt to clarify the mechanisms of the decrease/increase of THMFP in the BAC treatment. The increase and decrease of THMFP concentrations were observed in effluents during prolonged operation. When PCP or DBS was feeded as substrate contained in SBR effluent, the THMFPs were easyly removed with TOCs removal. But the case of SBR effluent containing SDS or glycine was introduced, and when microbial growth came to its near steady state, the THMFPs of treated effluents were increased more or less in comparison to those in the influents. Such increases of THMFP coincided with the increase in microbial growth within the activated carbon fiber(ACF) column. In the case of only sucrose was feeded as substrate on ACF colume, THMFP concentrations of effluent were higher than those of influent. The THMFP concentration was significantly increased on inlet part of ACF column, which biomass inhabits abundantly, then they were decreased gradually. These increases mean production of the secondary THM precursors by biological activities, which can be removed by adsorption and biological degradation on ACF column.

본 연구에서는 에너지 밀도가 큰 초고용량 캐패시터를 제작하기 위한 기초 연구로서 활성탄소섬유의 물성과 유기 전해질의 특성이 초고용량 캐패시터의 전기화학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 유기성 전해질의 경우는 이온의 크기가 수용성 전해질 보다 훨씬 크기 때문에 탄소전극의 세공크기에 많은 영향을 받으며, 용량을 발현할 수 있는 유효세공의 크기가 커야 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 혼합용매를 이용한 전해액의 조성은 큰 비축전용량과 빠른 충전속도, 그리고 낮은 ESR 및 방전전류의 세기에 대한 높은 비축전용량 유지성 등의 우수한 충방전 특성을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었고, 전해질의 높은 이온전도도가 용량발현 및 자가방전 특성에 큰기여를 하고 있으며, 전해질 이온의 크기는 충전속도에 많은 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Three activated carbons (ACs) were prepared using NaOH (N) as an activating agent. Hydrofluoric acid pre-leached rice husk was used as a precursor. After leaching, the precursor was washed with distilled water, dried, crushed, and then sieved; a size fraction of 0.3-0.5 mm was selected for carbonization in the absence of air at $600^{\circ}C$. The carbonization product (LC) was mixed with NaOH at ratios of 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 (wt of LC: wt of NaOH) and the produced ACs after activation at $800^{\circ}C$ were designated NLC21, NLC31, and NLC41, respectively. Surface and textural properties were determined using nitrogen adsorption at $-196^{\circ}C$, scanning electron microscopy images, thermogravimetric analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectra. These ACs were used as adsorbents for lead(II) from aqueous solutions. The effects of the textural properties and the chemistry of the carbon surfaces were investigated and the impact of the operation conditions on the capacity for lead(II) sorption was also considered. Modification of NLC41 with $H_2O_2$ and $HNO_3$ gave two other adsorbents, $H_{NLC41}$ and $N_{NLC41}$ respectively. These two new samples exhibited the highest removal capacities for lead(II), i.e.117.5 and 128.2 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption data fitted the Langmuir isotherm and the kinetic adsorption followed pseudo-second order kinetics. The thermodynamic parameters have been determined and they indicated a spontaneous endothermic process.

시멘트 산업은 대표적인 탄소 배출 산업으로서, 콘크리트에 산업부산물인 고로슬래그 미분말과 플라이애시를 다량 사용할 경우 시멘트 사용을 줄이고 탄소 배출을 저감할 수 있으나, 이러한 경우 초기강도의 저하가 비교적 크기 때문에 대체량 증대에 한계가 있다. 이러한 현실을 고려할 때 고로슬래그 미분말이나 플라이애시를 다량 활용한 포틀랜드 혼합 시멘트에 적절한 알칼리 활성화를 통해 혼합 시멘트의 성능을 보완하는 방안은 시멘트 산업 분야에서 탄소 배출을 저감할 수 있는 현실적인 방안이 될 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 보고에서는 보통포틀랜드 시멘트, 고로슬래그 미분말, 플라이애시를 4:4:2로 혼합하고 알칼리 설페이트계 활성화제(Modified Alkali Sulfate type)를 2.0% 사용한 결합재를 적용하여 레미콘(Ready-Mixed Concrete) 제조 시설에서 콘크리트를 제조하고 그 기초적인 특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 알칼리 설페이트계 활성화제의 활용으로 슬럼프는 다소 감소하고 응결 시간이 단축되는 현상이 있었으나, 블리딩이 감소하고 조기 강도가 개선되었으며, 탄산화 저항성은 큰 차이가 없었다. 향후 이와 관련하여 장기 재령의 시험체를 대상으로 한 실험과 분석이 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.
