Abstract

This study was carried out to develop the low-priced adsorbent by synthesizing the zeolite of high CEC with the natural zeolite and examining the ability of this zeolite to adsorb heavy metals. The dominant clay minerals were clinoptilolite and mordenite in natural zeolite, while phillipsite in the synthesized zeolite. Adsorption reaction of Cu and Zn on clays were reached to equilibrium after 1 hr. The amount of adsorption was increased as the concentrations of heavy metals or the initial pH of suspension was increased. The synthesized zeolite adsorbed heavy metals about twice as much as the natural zeolite. The adsorption of heavy metals on the synthesized zeolite was less affected by the initial pH of suspension than that on natural zeolite. At cumulative adsorption, the synthesized zeolite adsorbed much more heavy metals at early three treatments than the natural zeolite did. The amount of desorption by chloride salts was increased as the concentration of chloride salts was increased. The ability of salt to desorb was in the order of NaCl>$CaC1_2$>$AlC1_3$. It is estimated that the ability of the synthesized zeolite to remove heavy metals was better than that of the natural zeolite.

국내산(國內産) 천연(天然) Zeolite를 이용(利用)하여 저렴(低廉)한 중금속흡착제(重金屬吸着劑)의 개발(開發)을 위해 이온 교환용량(交換容量)이 큰 Zeolite를 합성(合成)하고 이것의 중금속(重金屬) 흡착능력(吸着能力)을 조사(調査)하였다. 천연(天然) Zeolite의 주(主) 구성(構成) 점토광물(粘土鑛物)은 Clinoptilolite와 Mordenite였으나 합성(合成) Zeolite는 Phillipsite였다. 시료(試料)에 의(依)한 Cu와 Zn의 흡착반응(吸着反應)은 1시간(時間) 이후(以後)에 흡착평형(吸着平衡)에 도달(到達)하였다. 흡착량(吸着量)은 시료량(試料量) 및 첨가중금속(添加重金屬) 이온들의 농도(濃度)가 증가(增加)할수록 증가(增加)하는 경향(傾向)이었으며 합성(合成) Zeolite가 천연(天然) Zeolite에 비(比)해 고농도(高濃度)에서 흡착율(吸着率)이 높았다. 중김속(重金屬) 흡착량(吸着量)은 pH가 증가(增加)할수록 증가(增加)하는 경향(傾向)이었으나 합성(合成) Zeolite가 천연(天然) Zeolite에 비(比)해 pH 생존성(生存性)이 낮았다. 중금속(重金屬) 흡착량(吸着量)은 천연(天然) Zeolite에 비(比)하여 합성(合成) Zeolite가 훨씬 높았다. 염용액(鹽溶液)의 농도(濃度)가 높을수록 많은 양(量)의 중금속(重金屬) 이온이 합성(合成) Zeolite에서 탈착(脫着)되었으며 그 정도(程度)는 NaCl<$CaCl_2$<$AlCl_3$의 순(順)이었다. 따라서 합성(合成) Zeolite보다 중금속(重金屬) 제거효과(除去效果)가 우수(優秀)한 것으로 판단(判斷)된다.
