Date palm leaflets were used as a precursor to prepare dehydrated carbon (DC) via phosphoric acid treatment at 150℃. DC, acidified with H₃PO₄, was converted to activated carbon (AC) at 500℃ under a nitrogen atmosphere. DC shows very low surface area (6.1 m²/g) while AC possesses very high surface area (829 m²/g). The removal of lisinopril (LIS) and chlorpheniramine (CP) from an aqueous solution was tested at different pH, contact time, concentration, and temperature on both carbons. The optimal initial pH for LIS removal was 4.0 and 5.0 for DC and AC, respectively. However, for CP, initial pH 9.0 showed maximum adsorption on both carbons. Adsorption kinetics showed faster removal on AC than DC with adsorption data closely following the pseudo second order kinetic model. Adsorption increases with temperature (25℃–45℃) and activation energy (E_a) is in a range of 19–25 kJ mol/L. Equilibrium studies show higher adsorption on AC than DC. Thermodynamic parameters show that drug removal is endothermic and spontaneous with physical adsorption dominating the adsorption process. Column adsorption data show good fitting to the Thomas model. Despite its very low surface area, DC shows ~70% of AC drug adsorption capacity in addition of being inexpensive and easily prepared.

Nanotubular structure formation on the Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-Ta alloy surfaces by electrochemical methods has been studied using the anodizing method. A nanotube layer was formed on Ti alloys in 1.0 M $H_3PO_4$ electrolyte with small additions of $F^-$ ions. The nanotube nucleation and growth of the ${\alpha}$-phase and ${\beta}$-phase appeared differently, and showed different morphology for Cp-Ti, Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-Ta alloys. In the ${\alpha}$-phase of Cp-Ti and martensite ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ and in the ${\alpha}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$ and ${\beta}$-phase of the Ti-Ta alloy, the nanotube showed a clearly highly ordered $TiO_2$ layer. In the case of the Ti-Ta alloy, the pore size of the nanotube was smaller than that of the Cp-Ti due to the ${\beta}$-stabilizing Ta element. In the case of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, the ${\alpha}$-phase showed a stable porous structure; the ${\beta}$-phase was dissolved entirely. The nanotube with two-size scale and high order showed itself on Ti-Ta alloys with increasing Ta content.

The purpose of this study was to investigate $2^{nd} $nanotube formed surface observation of the Ti-25Ta-xZr alloys using ATO(anodic titanium oxide) technique. Ti-25Ta-xZr alloy was anodized in 1M $H_3PO_4$ electrolytes containing 0.8 Wt. % NaF at room temperature. After formation of nanotube was achieved out, nanotube was eliminated, and then anodization was carried out repeatedly. The microstructures, phase transformation, and morphology of nanotubular Ti-25Ta-xZr alloys and process of nanotube growth by using ATO method was examined by optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The ${\alpha}$ phase and ${\beta}$ phases were affected to form the second nanotube morphology of Ti-25Ta-xZr alloys.

본 연구는 혼합이온교환수지 캡슐이 수질 모니터링 도구로 활용가능한지를 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 수지의 질소$(NH_4\;^+-N,\;NO_3\;^--N)$와 인산$(PO_4\;^{3-}-P)$에 대한 물리적, 화학적 반응 특성을 구명하고, 현장적용시험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 유속이 증가함에 따라 수지의 이온 흡착량은 감소하였으며, 이온 종류에 따른 흡착량은 $NO_3\;^--N\;>\;NH_4\;^+-N\;>\;PO_4\;^{3-}-P$ 순으로 나타나 수지의 흡착 선택성과 일치하였다. 온도와 시간에 따른 이온의 농도 변화를 일차반응속도모델에 적용하였을 때, 반응비상수$({\kappa})$는 반응온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였고, 이온의 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 온도가 증가함에 따라 ${\Delta}H^{o\ddag}$값과 ${\Delta}G^{o\ddag}$값은 증가하였으나, $E_a$값과 ${\Delta}S^{o\ddag}$값은 감소하여 열역학 이론과 일치하였다. $E_a$는 $155.38{\sim}682.89\;kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1},\;{\Delta}H^{o\ddag}$는 $153.03{\sim}680.54\;kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1},\;{\Delta}S^{o\ddag}$는 $525.02{\sim}610.99\;J{\cdot}mol^{-1},\;K^{-1}\;{\Delta}G^{o\ddag}$는 $525.02{\sim}610.99\;J{\cdot}mol^{-1}$의 범위를 나타냈다. 현장적용시험에서 삽입시간과 수지흡착량의 관계는 Langmuir 형태를 따랐으며, 질소는 24시간 경과 후, 인산은 8시간 후에 의사평형에 도달하였다. 따라서 현장에서의 최대 삽입시간은 인산의 평형 도달시간과 하천 내 인산 농도에 의해 결정될 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 결과를 통해 이온교환수지를 수질 중 질소와 인의 모니터링 도구로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 실제 현장에 활용하기 위해서는 온도, 유속, 삽입시간 등의 인자와 하천수 내 이온조성과의 상관관계에 대한 규명과 경험상수의 도출이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The activated carbon is a very good choice for using as supercapacitor electrode materials. Herein, the flower of Shorea robusta, a bio-waste material was successfully used to synthesize the activated carbons for application as supercapacitor electrode materials. The activated carbon was synthesized through chemical activation process followed by thermal treatment at 700℃ in presence of N₂ atmosphere using KOH, ZnCl₂ and H₃PO₄ as the activating agents. The physicochemical analyses demonstrate that the obtained activated carbons are graphitic in nature and the degree of disorder of the graphitic carbons is changed with the activating agents. The activated carbon obtained from Shorea robusta flower (ACSF-K) electrode shows the specific capacitance of ~610 F g^-1 at 2 A g^-1 current density, which is higher than ACSF-Z (560 F g^-1) and ACSF-H (470 F g^-1) electrode material under the identical current density. The synthesized graphitic carbons also demonstrated good rate capability and high electrochemical stability as supercapacitor electrode.

폐호도껍질을 원료로 활성탄을 제조하는 과정에서 활성화 온도, 활성화 시간, 활성화제의 양, 그리고 활성화제의 종류 등을 변수로 하여 활성화 특성을 조사하였다. 인산을 활성화제로 사용하여 제조된 활성탄은 그 흡착능이 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하여 약 $550^{\circ}C$부근에서 최대 흡착능을 보였으며 그 수율은 온도 상승에 따라 지속적으로 감소하였다. 활성화 시간은 약 2시간 정도에서 최적의 조건을 보였으며 시간이 증가함에 따라 활성탄의 수율은 계속 감소하였다. 활성화제의 농도 증가에 따라 수율은 지속적으로 상승하였으며 흡착능 또한 증대되다가 약 1.5M $H_3PO_4$ 이상의 조건에서는 오히려 흡착능이 감소하였다. SEM으로 관찰한 조건에 따른 활성탄의 미세구조의 변화는 조건별 흡착능의 변화와 잘 일치되었으며 활성화제의 종류는 활성화 과정에서 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 제조된 활성탄의 흡착특성을 파악하기 위해 $Cu^{2+}$ 이온을 흡착질로 하여 흡착반응을 조사한 결과, 흡착반응은 전체적으로 2차식을 따르는 것으로 관찰되었으며 흡착질의 초기 농도가 감소함에 따라 반응상수는 점차 증가하였다. 평형흡착량은 Freundlich Model 을 잘 따르는 것으로 나타났으며 온도별 흡착반응을 검토한 결과, 중금속 이온의 흡착은 흡열반응의 특성을 나타내었다. 흡착에 따른 Activation Energy는 약 13.07kcal/mol로 산출되었으며 van't Hoff Equation을 이용하여 흡착반응의 열역학적 인자들을 계산하였다.

Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used for orthopedic and dental implants for their superior mechanical properties, low modulus, excellent corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility. In this study, corrosion behaviors of nanotube formed on the bone plate of Ti-6Al-4V alloy for dental use have been investigated. $TiO_2$ nanotubes were formed on the dental bone plates by anodization in $H_3PO_4$ containing 0.6 wt % NaF solution at $25^{\circ}C$. Electrochemical experiments were performed using a conventional three-electrode configuration with a platinum counter electrode and a saturated calomel reference electrode. Anodization was carried out using a scanning potentiostat (EG&G Co, Model 263A USA), and all experiments were conducted at room temperature. The surface morphology was observed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy(EDS). The corrosion behavior of the dental bone plates was examined using potentiodynamic test(potential range of -1500~2000 mV) in a 0.9% NaCl solution by potentiostat (EG&G Co, PARSTAT 2273. USA). The inner diameter of nanotube was about 150~180 nm with wall thickness of about 20 nm. The interspace of nanotube to nanotube was 50 nm. The passive region of the nanotube formed bone plates showed the broad range compared to non-nanotube formed bone plates. The corrosion surface of sample was covered with corrosion products.

Two azole compounds viz., Imidazole (IM) and 2-Methylimidazole (2-MIM) were studied to investigate their inhibiting action on corrosion of mild steel in phosphoric acid ($H_3PO_4$) solution by mass loss and polarization techniques at 302K-333K. It has been found that the inhibition efficiency of the all inhibitors increased with increase in inhibitor concentration and decreases with increasing temperature and also with increase in acid concentrations. The inhibition efficiency of these compounds showed very good inhibition efficiency. At 0.5% of IM and 2-MIM in 1N and 5N phosphoric acid solution at 302K to 333K for 5 hours immersion period, the inhibition efficiency of 2-Methylimidazole found to be higher than Imidazole. The adsorption of these compounds on the mild steel surface from the acids has been found to obey Tempkin's adsorption isotherm. The values of activation energy ($E{\alpha}$) and free energy of adsorption (${\Delta}G{\alpha}ds$) were also calculated. The plots of log $W_f$ against time (days) at 302K give straight line which suggested that it obeys first order kinetics and also calculate the rate constant k and half life time $t_{1/2}$. Surface was analyzed by SEM and FITR spectroscopy.

The corrosion behaviour of mild steel in phosphoric acid solution in the presence and absence of pollutants viz. Chloride, Fluoride and Sulfate ions at 302K-333K was studied using mass loss and potentiostatic polarization methods. The addition of chloride and sulfate ions inhibits the mild steel corrosion in phosphoric acid while fluoride ions stimulate it. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behaviour of mild steel indicated that inhibition of chloride and sulfate ions decreased with increasing temperature. The adsorption of these ions (Chloride and sulfate) on the mild steel surface in acid has been found to obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The values of activation energy (Ea) and free energy of adsorption ($\Delta$) indicated physical adsorption of these ions (chloride and sulfate) on the mild steel surface. The plot of $logW_{f}$ against time (days) at 302K gives a straight line, which suggested that it obeys first order kinetics and also calculate the rate constant k and half-life time $t_{1/2}$.
