Abstract

The main objective of this study was to examine the removal of heavy metals from water by inflated vermiculites. The component of vermiculites was analyzed by XRF, and the concentration of metal ion was measured by ICP-AES. Serial batch kinetic tests and batch sorption tests were conducted to determine the removal characteristics for heavy metals in aqueous solutions. As a result, solution pH values of tests with the inflated vermiculites generally increased and then stabilized. Equilibrium pHs were generally established within 5 hrs. In addition, removal rates of inflated vermiculites were tested at the initial concentration of 3 mg/L. As a result, at equilibrium concentration, except for chromium (36.23%), Most of the heavy metals were effectively removed (96.08~98.54%). Finally, sorption data were correlated with both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The Qmax obtained from Langmuir isotherm were determined to Pb $725.4mg\;kg^{-1}$, Cd $568.8mg\;kg^{-1}$, Zn $540.2mg\;kg^{-1}$, Cu $457.2mg\;kg^{-1}$ Cr $0.9mg\;kg^{-1}$ respectively. The results of the study indicate that inflated vermiculites can be properly used as an adsorbent for various heavy metals because of its outstanding removal rate.

본 연구에서는 팽창질석을 이용하여 중금속 흡착 제거능을 평가 하고자 하였다. 먼저 XRF를 사용하여 질석의 화학적 조성을 분석하였고, 시료중의 중금속 농도분석은 ICP-AES를 사용하여 이루어졌다. 수용액 상의 중금속 제거 특성을 살펴보기 위해 Batch kinetic test와 batch sorption test가 실시되었으며 그 결과, 시료용액의 pH가 증가하는 양상을 보이다가 약 5시간 경과 후 pH가 평형상태에 도달함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 $3mg\;L^{-1}$의 초기농도로 실시된 실험에서 평형농도(1680분 후)에서의 제거율이 각각 Pb: 98.54%, Cd: 96.82%, Cu: 96.08%, Zn: 96.71%, Cr: 36.23%로 크롬을 제외한 모든 중금속 성분이 90% 이상의 높은 제거율을 나타내어 선별적이지만 중금속이 효과적으로 제거됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 최종적으로 batch sorption test를 통해 얻은 결과를 각각 Freundlich와 Langmuir 등온흡착식에 대입한 결과 두 가지 등온흡착식 모두에서 흡착용량이 Pb>Cd>Cu>Zn>Cr의 순서로 나타났으며, Langmuir model을 통해 알아낸 최대흡착용량(Qmax)은 Pb $725.4mg\;kg^{-1}$, Cd $568.8mg\;kg^{-1}$, Zn $540.2mg\;kg^{-1}$, Cu $457.2mg\;kg^{-1}$ Cr $0.9mg\;kg^{-1}$로 나타나 크롬을 제외한 나머지 중금속에 대한 높은 흡착 제거능을 보임으로써 흡착제로써의 적용이 가능하다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.
