We tried to improve the $H_2$-sorption properties of Mg by mechanical grinding under $H_2$ (reactive grinding) with CoO. The sample Mg+10wt.%CoO as prepared absorbs 1.25wt.% hydrogen and the activated sample absorbs 2.39wt.% hydrogen for 60min at 598K, $11.2barH_2$. The reactive grinding of Mg with CoO increases the $H_2$-sorption rates by facilitating nueleation(by creating defects on the surface of the Mg particles and by the additive), by making cracks on the surface of Mg particles and reducing the particle size of Mg and thus by shortening the diffusion distances of hydrogen atoms. Hydriding-dehydriding cycling increases the $H_2$-sorption rates by making cracks on the surface of Mg particles and reducing the particle size of Mg.

본 연구에서는 열처리한 활성알루미나의 불소흡착특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 평형 및 동적 흡착실험을 수행하였고, 용액 pH의 영향과 음이온의 존재에 따른 흡착 특성을 살펴보았다. 또한, 열처리한 활성알루미나의 여재특성을 분석하기 위하여, 전계방출주사현미경(field-emission scanning electron microscope), energy-dispersive spectrometry, X선 회절(X-ray Diffractometer, XRD)분석, 그리고 Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) 비표면적 분석을 수행하였다. 다양한 온도(100, 300, 500, $700^{\circ}C$) 에서 열처리한 활성알루미나의 흡착능을 비교한 결과, 높은 불소 농도(50, 100, 200 mg/L)에서 열처리 온도가 높아짐에 따라서 활성알루미나의 흡착량이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 불소 초기농도 200 mg/L에서는 $700^{\circ}C$에서 고온처리한 활성알루미나(AA700)의 흡착량이 열처리하지 않은 활성알루미나(UAA)보다 3.67배 큰 것으로 나타났다. AA700과 UAA의 BET분석 결과, UAA의 단위질량당 비표면적이 AA700의 비표면적보다 약 2배 큼을 알 수 있었다. XRD 분석결과에 의하면, AA700의 결정구조는 Al2O3인 반면, UAA는 boehmite (AlOOH)와 bayerite ($Al(OH)_3$)가 혼합된 형태로 구성되어 있었다. 열처리에 의하여 비표면적이 감소하였음에도 불구하고, AA700의 불소 흡착능이 UAA에 비하여 증가한 이유는 결정구조의 변화 때문으로 판단된다. AA700의 동역학적 흡착실험결과, 불소의 흡착은 24 h 경과 후에 평형에 도달하였다. 또한, 평형 흡착실험결과에 의하면, 여재 당 불소의 최대 흡착량은 5.70 mg/g으로 나타났다. 용액 pH의 영향을 분석한 결과, pH 7에서 불소 흡착이 가장 높았으며, 산성과 알칼리성에서는 불소 흡착이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 음이온의 영향을 분석한 결과, 인산염, 질산염, 중탄산염은 불소 흡착을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에 의하면, 상용화된 활성알루미나를 이용하여 불소를 제거할 경우, 고온처리를 통하여 활성알루미나의 흡착능을 증가시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 팽창질석에 글리세롤과 황산으로 코팅하여 $580^{\circ}C$에서 가열시킨 코팅질석(MEVs)을 사용해 수용액 상의 구리이온을 더 효과적으로 흡착제거 할 수 있는가를 평가하고자 하였다. 수용액 상의 구리이온의 제거양상을 살펴보기 위해 batch kinetic test와 batch sorption test가 실시되었다. 그 결과, 구리 제거속도($K_{obs}$, 1/hr)는 MEVs가 1g(25g/L)일 때 0.579, 2g(50g/L)일 때 0.878, 3g(75g/L)일 때 3.459, 4g(100g/L)일 때 6.578이었고, 초기pH는 3.26이었다. 농도에 따른 제거실험에서 구리 제거속도는 3mg/L일 때 1.96, 5mg/L일 때 1.375, 8mg/L일 때 1.25, 10mg/L일 때 1.04었고, 초기 pH는 각각 3.46, 3.26, 3.10, 2.96이었다. 초기 pH에 따른 구리의 제거속도는 pH 3~pH 5에서 0.263~0.525의 범위를 보였다. 이 결과는 초기구리농도와는 반비례하고 초기 pH와는 비례하는 양상을 보였다. Batch sorption test에서 Langmuir 모델의 최대 흡착용량($Q_{max}$)과 Linear, Freundlich 모델의 분배계수는 각각 0.761mg/g, 0.494L/g, 0.729L/g(1/n = 0.476)였다. 이 결과는 글리세롤 코팅질석이 여러 형태의 수용액에 존재하는 구리이온을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.

Adsorption is one of the best methods for wastewater purification. The fact that water quality is continuously decreasing requires the development of novel, effective and cost available adsorbents. Herein, a simple procedure for the preparation of a magnetic adsorbent from agricultural waste biomass and ferrofluid has been introduced. Specifically, ferrofluid mixed with wheat straw was directly pyrolyzed either by microwave irradiation (900 W, 30 min) or by conventional heating ($550^{\circ}C$, 90 min). Magnetic biochars were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectroscopy, textural analysis and tested as adsorbents of As(V) oxyanion and cationic methylene blue, respectively. Results showed that microwave pyrolysis produced char with high adsorption capacity of As(V) ($Q_m=25.6mg\;g^{-1}$ at pH 4), whereas conventional pyrolysis was not so effective. In comparison to conventional pyrolysis, one-step microwave pyrolysis produced a material with expressive microporosity, having a nine times higher value of specific surface area as well as total pore volume. We assumed that sorption properties are also caused by several iron-bearing composites identified by $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ spectroscopy ([super] paramagnetic $Fe_2O_3$, ${\alpha}-Fe$, non-stoichiometric $Fe_3C$, ${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$, ${\gamma}-Fe$) transformed from nano-maghemite presented in the ferrofluid. Methylene blue was also more easily removed by magnetic biochar prepared by microwaves ($Q_m=144.9mg\;g^{-1}$ at pH 10.9) compared to using conventional techniques.

The eutectic Mg-23.5%Ni alloy was casted by melting and solidification. The powders of Mg-23.5%Ni and (Mg-23.5%Ni)-10% iron oxide were prepared by mechanical grinding of casted Mg-Ni alloy and casted Mg-Ni alloy+oxide, respectively. As milling time increases, hydriding and dehydriding rates of Mg-Ni and Mg-Ni-oxide alloy powders increase. The additions of iron oxide to Mg-Ni alloy and Mg-Ni-oxide increase hydriding rates and slightly decrease dehydriding rates.

The surface of an ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) was functionalized using 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltrimethoxysilane at $20^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$. It was shown that only elevated temperature allows lyophobic properties on the walls of OMS, eventually preventing pore flooding with nonaqueous electrolytes. The functionalized OMSs (OMS-F) were characterized with various techniques: wettability test, $N_2$ sorption measurement, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). Cathodes of $10mg/cm^2$ loading were prepared with a commercial Pt/C catalyst and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF, 2.5 wt.%) binder using a typical doctor blade method on a commercial gas diffusion layer (GDL) in the presence or in the absence of OMS-F additives. Subsequent discharge-charge curves were taken in a 1M LiTFSI-TEGDME electrolyte at 60oC in pure oxygen atmosphere. It was found that the discharge capacity was significantly affected by OMS-F: 5 wt.% of additive extended discharge capacity by a factor 1.5. On the other hand, a similar OMS material but synthesized at $20^{\circ}C$ did not show lyophobic properties and deteriorated cathode capacity.

The hyper-eutectic Mg-33.5%Ni alloy was rapidly solidified by melt spinning process. The melt-spun Mg-33.5%Ni has amorphous structure and crystallization occurred above $162^{\circ}C$. The hydriding and dehydriding rates of melt-spun Mg-33.5%Ni increased with cycle and high rate of hydrogen storage occurred at 3rd cycle. The maximum hydrogen amount absorbed in melt-spun Mg-33.5%Ni at $300^{\circ}C$ is about 4.5%.

The leaching of nitrate from soil increases the concentration of elements, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, in water, causing eutrophication. In this study, the feasibility of using clinoptilolite as an ion-exchange material to reduce nitrate leaching in soil was investigated. Soil samples were collected from three soil depths (0 - 30, 30 - 90, and 90 - 120 cm), and their sorption capacity was determined using batch experiments. The effects of contact time, initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, pH, and temperature on the removal of NO₃^- were investigated. The results showed that an initial concentration of 25 mg L^-1, a contact time of 120 min, an adsorbent dosage of 5.0 g/100 mL, a pH of 3, and a temperature of 30 ℃ are favorable conditions. The kinetic results corresponded well with a pseudo-second-order rate equation. Intra-particle diffusion also played a significant role in the initial stage of the adsorption process. Thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption process is spontaneous, random, and endothermic. The results suggest that a modification of clinoptilolite effectively reduces the leaching of nitrate in soil.

Water pollution means that the physical, chemical and biological properties of water are changing. In this study, adsorption was chosen as the treatment method because it is an eco-friendly and low cost approach. Magnetite is a magnetic material that can synthesize chemical precipitation. Magnetite was used for the removal of copper in artificial water samples. For this purpose, metal removal from water dependent on the pH, initial concentration of metal, amount of adsorbent and effect of sorption time were investigated. Magnetite was characterized using XRD, SEM and particle size distribution. The copper ions were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. The adsorption of copper on the magnetite was studied in a batch process, with different aqueous solutions of Cu (II) at concentrations ranging from 10 to $50mg\;l^{-1}$. Optimum conditions for using magnetite were found to be concentration of $10mg\;L^{-1}$, pH: 4.5, contact time: 40 min. Optimum adsorbent was found to be 0.3 gr. Furthermore, adsorption isotherm data were analyzed using the Langmuir and Freundlich equations. The adsorption data fitted well with the Freundlich ($r^2=0.9701$) and Langmuir isotherm ($r^2=0.9711$) equations. Kinetic and equilibrium aspects of the adsorption process were studied. The time-dependent Cu (II) adsorption data were described well by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model.
