The process parameter in optimized KOH alkali activation of soft carbon series coke material in high purity was set with DOE experiments design. The activated carbon was produced by performing the activation process based on the set process parameters. The specific surface area was measured and pore size was analyzed by $N_2$ absorption method for the produced activated carbon. The surface functional group was analyzed by Boehm method and metal impurities were analyzed by XRF method. The specific surface area was increased over 2,000 $m^2/g$ as the mixing ratio of activation agent increased. The micro pores in $5{\sim}15{\AA}$ and surface functional group under 0.4 meq/g were obtained. The contents of the metal impurity in activated carbon which is the factor for reducing the electrochemical characteristics was reduced less than 100 ppm through the cleansing process optimization. The electrochemical characteristics of activated carbon in 38.5 F/g and 26.6 F/cc were checked through the impedance measuring with cyclic voltammetry scan rate in 50~300 mV/s and frequency in 10 mHz ~100 kHz. The activated carbon was made in the optimized activation process conditions of activation time in 40 minutes, mixing ratio of activation agent in 4.5 : 1.0 and heat treatment temperature over $650^{\circ}C$.

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.

유기성폐슬러지를 염화아연과 황화칼륨으로 약품활성화하여 제조한 활성탄의 세공발달과 흡착특성을 연구하였다. 유기성폐슬러지로 제조한 탄소의 세공발달은 77K에서 질소흡착법을 이용하여 특성화하였다. 염화아연으로 약품활성화하여 제조한 $ZnCl_2$-활성탄은 활성화공정에 의해 미세공이 형성되었음을 지적해주는 BDDT 분류의 type I의 흡착특성을 보여주었다. 상용 분말활성탄과 $K_2S$-활성탄은 BDDT 분류의 type IV와 유사한 이력현상을 나타냈는데, 이것은 이들 활성탄에 중세공이 형성되었음을 말해준다. 이것은 $K_2S$-활성탄은 주로 중세공과 미세공으로 이루어졌으며, 거대세공의 발달은 미비하다는 것을 의미한다. 유기성폐슬러지로 제조한 $K_2S$-활성탄의 중금속 흡착능은 상용입상활성탄보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다. $K_2S$-활성탄에 대한 중금속의 흡착은 단분자층 흡착을 나타내는 Langmuir와 Freundlich 등온식에 잘 부합되었다. $PO_4$-P에 대한 흡착능은 $K_2S$-활성탄이 $ZnCl_2$-활성탄보다 우수한 것으로 나타난 반면, $NO_3$-N의 흡착은 $ZnCl_2$-활성탄이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과, 활성화제로 염화아연과 황화칼륨을 사용하여 유기성폐슬러지를 약품처리할 경우, 탄화와 활성화공정을 거치는 2단계 공정을 통하여 상용입상활성탄보다 흡착능이 뛰어난 활성탄을 제조할 수 있었다.

C/N 비가 낮은 농촌마을 하수의 고도처리를 위하여 $0.4{\mu}m$의 세공크기를 갖고 있는 평막이 침지된 연속회분식 반응기를 사용하였다. 분말활성탄의 투입, 폭기량 및 유입 유기물 농도가 처리효율과 여과 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 54일 이내의 조업 초기에서는 C/N 비가 증가할수록 COD, T-N 및 T-P의 제거율과 MLSS 농도는 증가하였다. 조업 89일 후의 COD, T-N 및 T-P의 제거율은 각각 97.1%, 75.0% 및 48.3%이었다. 막여과에 의해 처리수에서 SS는 검출되지 않았으며, T-P의 제거율이 낮게 나온 이유는 과잉의 슬러지를 배출하지 않았기 때문이다. 분말활성탄을 투여한 경우 조업이 진행됨에 따라 분말활성탄의 혼합강도와 충돌빈도가 증가하여 슬러지의 입자크기가 감소하였으며, 이로 인해 분말활성탄을 투여하지 않은 경우에 비해 TMP 상승이 크게 나타났다.

The absorption characteristics of powdered activated carbon doped by transition-metal nanoparticles were investigated to enhance the remove efficiencies of $TCOD_{Mn}$ and Color from the flexo-inks wastewater. According to the adsorption dynamics of PAC and MPAC, the optimal dosage of activated-carbon adsorbents was 3 g/L under the reaction conditions of pH6.0, 30 mill of reaction time, 240 rpm of mixing intensity. The removal efficiencies by the optimal dosages were maximized as 19% $TCOD_{Mn}$, 57% Color for PAC and 88% $TCOD_{Mn}$, 95% Color for MPAC. Freundlich indexes of isotherm absorption were estimated as follows: i) For PAC, k=-8.11, 1/n=2.98, r=0.91 in the raw water, and k=0.14, b/n=0.75, r=0.96 in the biological treatment water, ii) For MPAC, k=2.69, 1/n=0.21, r=0.80 in the raw water, and k=0.74, 1/n=1.17, r=0.95 in the biological treatment water. MPAC (Powdered activated carbon doped by transition-metal nanoaprticles) was very effective in the removal of organics from the raw water and biological treatment water, as Freundlich indexes of 1/n for both types of water were estimated less than 2.0.

Coconut based activated carbon and silica-gels were impregnated with 3-aminopropyltri ethoxysilan(APS) and N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (AEAPS) in order to investigate the effect of the amine group and the pore size of the supports on the removal of hydrogen cyanide(HCN) and aldehydes in mainstream smoke(MS). The physicochemical properties of the supports were analyzed by using thermal gravity analyzer(TGA), $N_2$ adsorption and desorption isotherms$(BET,\;N_2)$, and SEM-EDS. According to our experimental data, there was no significant difference in the delivery amount of HCN and aldehydes of non-functionalized silica-gels having meso-pores bigger than $20\AA$. In the case of silica-gels functionalized with APS(APS silica-gel), the delivery amounts of hydrogen cyanide(HCN) and aldehydes decreased with the increase of APS concentration. Silica-gel functionalized with AEAPS(AEAPS silica-gel) showed higher removal efficiency than that of APS silica-gels. The delivery amounts of HCN and aldehydes of activated carbon impregnated with APS and AEAPS increased with the increase of the APS and AEAPS concentrations. In accordance with the specific surface area analysis results, APS and AEAPS molecules decreased the specific surface area by blocking the micro-pores of the activated carbon. The volatile organic components removal efficiency by the micro-pores was higher than that of the amine group impregnated into the activated carbon.

Activated carbons are the microporous carbonaceous adsorbents which are prepared from carbon-containing source materials such as wood, coal, lignite, peteroleum and sometimes synthetic high polymers. [1-2] Activated carbons shows an ability to adsorbe hydrocarbons of the gas phase. Activated carbons are used in the purification of many kinds of gas phases like hexane, benzene, toluene, gasoline, phenol etc.[3] In this study, cokes from bitminous coal were activated for the purpose of preparing the activated carbons by steam activation. The effect of the activation temperature, time, steam concentration and flow rate on the n-butane adsorption, burn off, surface area and average pore size of the activated carbons, were investigated. The adsorption characteristics of the activated carbons for gasoline are indirectly estimated by n-butane adsorption.

A laboratory experiment was performed to invstigate the nitrate removal using FeCl$_3$ -treated activated carbon. Iron chloride(III) was coated onto the surface of activated carbon. The removal efficiency of nitrate was increased with increasing of FeCl$_3$ was used for coating material. About 22~26mg of Fe per unit g of activated carbon was adsorbed. The nitrate removal was not affected by the pH under the experiment range of pH, but the pH value in solution decrease to 3.5~4.0 after reaction. The removal efficiency of nitrate was increased with increasing of dosage of adsorbents. Ammonia was not detected and the Fe concentration as low as 0.22mg/$\ell$ was desorbed from the adsorbents. The adsorbents was regenerated using KCl solution, and recovery was 76.6% at 1 M of KCl. The adsorption of nitrate by FeCl$_3$-treated activated carbon followed the Freundlich isotherm equation and the Freundlich constant, 1/n, was 0.346. These results showed that the FeCl$_3$-treated activated carbon could serve as the basis of a useful nitrate removal.

본 연구에서는 NaOH로 첨착(함침)시킨 활성탄의 $H_2S$ 흡착특성을 고찰하였다. 첨착시약으로 사용된 NaOH용액의 농도는 1~8 N이며, 활성탄의 입자크기는 $8{\times}30$ mesh가 적용되었다. 실험결과, 첨착율이 0.87~5.8% 범위내에서 증가될수록 BET 표면적은 $1050m^2/g$에서 $783m^2/g$로 감소되며, 표면산도는 0.541 meq/g-AC에서 0 meq/g-AC으로 감소하고, pH는 9.56에서 10.86으로 증가하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 NaOH로 첨착시킨 활성탄의 $H_2S$ 평형흡착능은 흡착온도와 $H_2S$ 가스농도에 비례함을 보였으며, 흡착온도가 $45^{\circ}C$일 때 17.87~30.34 mg/g-AC 범위의 $H_2S$ 평형흡착능을 보임으로써 비첨착활성탄에 비해 2~3배 높은 수준을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.
