In this study, the fabrication of zeolite combined activated carbon spherical samples was carried out as follows. Briefly, ZSM-5 zeolite and activated carbon were composed as main absorbent materials; by controlling the weight percentage of zeolite and binder materials, a series of spherical samples (AZP 4, 6, 8) were prepared. These spherical samples were characterized by BET, XRD, SEM, EDX, and pressure drop; benzene and iodine adsorption tests, bactericidal effect test, and ignition temperature test were also performed. The adsorption capability was found to depend on the BET surface area; the spherical samples AZP6 with high BET surface area of $1011m^2/g$ not only exhibited excellent removal effects for benzene (24.9%) and iodine (920mg/g) but also a good bactericidal effect. The enhanced ignition temperature may be attributed to the homogeneous dispersion conditions and the proper weight percentage ratio between zeolite and activated carbon.

In this study, we used coal based activated carbons as starting material and phenolic resin (PR) as a bonding agent to prepare spherical shaped activated carbons. The textural properties of SAC were characterized by BET surface area, XRD, SEM, iodine adsorption, strength intensity and pressure drop. According to the results, the spherical activated carbon prepared with activated carbon and PR at a ratio of 60:40 was found to have the best formation of spherical shape, which was found in sample SAC40. After activation, SAC40 has high BET surface area, iodine adsorption capability and strength value, and lowest pressure drop.

전기이중층 캐패시터의 성능향상을 위한 전극물질로서 resorcinol-formaldehyde수지를 탄소원으로 사용하여 meso-pore 비율 52~64%의 기공특성을 지니며 직경 $2{\sim}10{\mu}m$의 미세구형 활성탄을 제조하였다. 이 활성탄을 전기이중층에 적용한 결과, meso-pore구조의 미세구형활성탄은 전하전달저항의 저감 및 충방전율 수용능력 향상에 효과적인 영향을 나타내어 전기이중층 캐패시터의 성능향상을 위한 효과적인 전극물질이 될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, we used coal-based activated carbons and charcoal as startingmaterials, phenolic resin (PR) as a binder, and TOS as a titanium source to prepare $TiO_2$ combining spherical shaped activated carbon photocatalysts. The textural properties of the activated carbon photocatalysts (SACP) were characterized by specific surface area (BET), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), iodine adsorption, strength intensity, and pressure drop. The photocatalytic activities of the SACPs were characterized by degradation of the organic dyes Methylene Blue (MB), Methylene Orange (MO), and Rhodamine B (Rh. B) and a chemical oxygen demand (COD) experiment. The surface properties are shown by SEM. The XRD patterns of the composites showed that the SACP composite contained a typical single, clear anatase phase. The EDX spectro for the elemental indentification showed the presence of C and O with Ti peaks. According to the results, the spherical activated carbon photocatalysts sample of AOP prepared with activated carbon formed the best spherical shape, a high BET surface area, iodine adsorption capability and strength value, and the lowest pressure drop, and the photocatalytic activity was better than samples prepared with charcoal. We compared the degradation effects among three kinds of dyes. MB solution degraded with the SACP is better than any other dye solutions.

In this study, we used activated carbon(AC) as a carbon source, along with zeolite, to prepare spherical carbons using sucrose, starch and phenolic resin(PR) as binder material. The physicochemical characteristics of the three samples(AZ4P, AZ6P and AZ8P) were examined by BET, XRD, SEM, EDX, $H_2S/NH_3$ gas adsorption, compressive strength and ignition test techniques. Through comparative analysis of the compressive strength and ignition test results the AZ8P sample was found to have the best hardness and the highest temperature resistance capacity. After activation, the AZ8P sample had the best $H_2S$ adsorption capacity, and AZ6P was the most suitable for the adsorption of ammonia.

Polyacrylonitrile was synthesized through suspension polymerization and then sieved to obtain spherical beads with a size of 200~510 ㎛. PAN was copolymerized with 2 mol% MMA monomer which is known to promote cyclization and crosslinking of nitrile group. The resonance cyclization reaction of the nitrile group in the synthesized PAN beads was observed near 170℃ with thermal analysis and FT-IR. The reaction conversion of the nitrile group in spherical beads was 23% during heat treatment, which was lower than that of the well-oriented PAN fiber used as a precursor of carbon fiber. This is because the stereo-regularity of molecular chains in the form of a random coil (spherical bead) is much lower than that of PAN fiber. It was confirmed that the compressive strength of the spherical PAN bead was greatly improved through the resonance cyclization and shrinkage according to the heat treatment, and it was also observed that the pores in PAN beads were formed after the heat treatment.

In this study, the effects of silver treatment and activation on the physical and chemical properties of spherical activated carbon (SAC) were studied. The textural properties of SAC were characterized by BET surface area, XRD, SEM, iodine adsorption, strength intensity, pressure drop and antibacterial effects. BET surface areas of SACs decreased with an increase of the amount of PR before and after activation, and the BET surface areas of SACs were found to be about 2-3 times the size of those before activation. The XRD patterns showed their existing state as stable Ag crystals and carbon structure. The Ag particles are seaweedlike and uniform, being approximately 5-10 μm in size deposited on the surface of activated carbon. All of the samples had much more iodine adsorption capability after activation than before activation. The strength values of SACs increased with an increase of the amount of PR, and there was a smaller drop in the strength values of SACs with silver treatment than with non-silver treatment after activation. The Ag-SAC composites showed strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. Coli).

쌀밥을 출발물질로 활용하고 수열합성법과 화학적 활성화를 위한 KOH용액 진공함침 등의 방법으로 제조된 활성탄의 전기이중층 초고용량 커패시터의 전극에 대한 전기화학적 전극특성을 확인 하였다. 제조된 활성탄의 물성을 SEM, EDS, XRD, TG, 비표면적, 기공크기 분포 등의 분석을 통해 조사하였다. 또한, 슈퍼커패시터의 전극에 대한 순환전류 측정과 교류 임피던스 측정 실험을 통해 전기화학적 특성을 확인하였다. 수열합성법을 통하여 직경 $5{\sim}7{\mu}m$ 인 구형의 탄소 입자를 얻었으며 활성화 온도 $800^{\circ}C$로 제조된 활성탄은 비표면적이 $1631.8cm^2/g$, 기공크기 분포가 0.9~2.1 nm에 집중적으로 분포하였으며, 마이크로 기공체적이 $0.6154cm^3/g$ 임을 알 수 있었다. 이 활성탄을 사용하여 제작된 전극은 6M KOH 전해액에서 비용량 236 F/g(@5 mV/s), 194 F/g(@100 mV/s), 137 F/g(@500 mV/s)의 우수한 특성을 나타내었다. 충방전 싸이클 수명시험 결과, 200 mV/s의 주사속도에서 100,000회 충방전 시험 후에도 초기용량 대비 91.2%의 용량을 유지함을 확인하였다.

Crosslinked spherical polystyrene particles with a particle diameter of 200-500 ㎛ were synthesized by using suspension copolymerization of styrene and divinylbenzene, and the effect of divinylbenzene content, poreforming agent on their spherical formation, thermal stability, specific surface area, and carbonization characteristics were examined. The spherical copolymer beads were collapsed during carbonization up to 45% of divinylbenzene content. Toluene was used as pore-forming agent since it is more soluble in monomer phase rather than dispersion media during suspension polymerization, and the specific surface area and total pore volume increased with content of pore-forming agent.

티타늄 담지 구형활성탄(spherical activated carbon, SPAC)을 제조하여 유동상 광촉매 반응에 적용하고 그 특성을 평가하였다. 티타늄을 담지하기 위하여 염화티타늄용액으로 이온교환 처리된 이온교환수지를 열처리 과정을 통하여 구형활성탄으로 변환시켜 주었다. 열처리 과정 중 감량되는 성분 및 무게 변화는 TGA/MS 분석을 통하여 알아보았으며,Ti을 함유한 구형활성탄의 물리화학적 성질은 SEM, XRD, EPMA, ESR, EDS, BET와 같은 분석을 통하여 그 특성을 알아보았다. 그 결과 Ti-구형활성탄의 입자 크기는 $350{\mu}m{\sim}400{\mu}m$, 비표면적은 $617m^2/g$ 이였으며, 담지 된 티타늄은 $TiO_2$ anatase 형태와 rutile 형태가 주를 이루고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 구형활성탄에 담지 된 $TiO_2$는 약 6 wt%로 균일한 분산도로 구형활성탄 표면에 담지 된 것을 EPMA 분석을 통해 알 수 있었다. 더욱이 ESR 분석을 통하여 간접적인 광촉매 활성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 따라서 이러한 결과들을 바탕으로 유동상 광반응조를 이용한 HA(humic acid) 광분해 반응에 적용하였다. 그 결과, 제거 효율이 약 70％ 정도로 높게 나타났을 뿐만 아니라 반응 중에도 Ti-구형활성탄의 강도가 계속 유지되어 유동상 반응에서의 광분해 촉매로서 활용가능성을 보여주었다.
