The adsorption of $NH_4\;^+$ and $Zn^{2+}$ by four Korean zeolites, the major species of which are clinoptilolite, clinoptilolite with mordenite, mordenite with clinoptilolite, and mordenite was measured in different concentrations of solutions of $NH_4\;^+$ and $Zn^{2+}$, and their mixtures. The adsorption of $NH_4\;^+$ was greater than that $Zn^{2+}$ far all samples at the concentrations of the added solutions from $1\;to\;7{\times}10^{-3}N$ and this difference was greater at the higher concentrations. Also, $Zn^{2+}$ adsorption by samples was decreased by the presence of $NH_4\;^+$, but that of $NH_4\;^+$ by the presence of $Zn^{2+}$ was not. The extent of $NH_4\;^+$ selectivity among samples was increased in order of clinoptilolite with mordenite$NH_4\;^+$ adsorbed by six successive equilibrations with the solution containing both $NH_4\;^+$ and $Zn^{2+}$ each at a concentration of $3{\times}10^{-3}N$ were in range from 43.7 to 50.4 me/100g, whereas those amounts of $Zn^{2+}$ were in the range from 6.6 to 17.0 me/100g. It was suggested from these results that mordenite and clinoptilolite, particularly the former, can be used for removal of $NH_4\;^+$ from municipal wastewater and those zeolites treated with wastewater can be applied to agricultural land.

The elution mechanism of rare earth elements in cation exchange resin which was substituted with $NH_4^+,\;Zn^{2+}\;or\;Al^{3+}$ as a retaining ion had been investigated. Rare earths or rare earths-EDTA complex solution was loaded on the top of resin bed and eluted with 0.0269M EDTA solution. When the rare earth-EDTA complex was adsorbed on the $Zn^{2+}\;or\;Al^{3+}$ resin form, retaining ion was complexed with EDTA and liberated rare earths was adsorbed in the resin again. Adsorbed rare earths in resin phase could be eluted by the complexation reaction with EDTA eluent. On $NH_4^+$ resin form, the rare earth-EDTA complex which had negative charge could not adsorbed on the cation exchange resin because the complexation reaction between $NH_4^+$ and EDTA was impossible. So the elution time was much shorter than in $Zn^{2+}\;or\;Al^{3+}$ resin form. When the rare earths solution was loaded on the $Zn^{2+},\;Al^{3+}$ resin form bed, rare earths was adsorbed in the resin and the retaining ion was liberated. Adsorbed rare earths in resin bed was exchanged by EDTA eluent forming rare earths-EDTA complex, and eluted through these processes. On $NH_4^+$ resin form, rare earths loaded was adsorbed by exchange reaction with $NH_4^+$. As the EDTA eluent was added, rare earths was liberated from resin forming negatively charged rare earth-EDTA complex and eluted without any exchange reaction. So the elution time was greatly shortened and there was no metallic ion except rare earths in effluent. When the $Zn^{2+}\;and\;Al^{3+}$ was used as retaining ion, the pH of efflent was decreased seriousely because the $H^+$ liberated from EDTA molecule.

BACKGROUND: Objective of this study was to investigate adsorption characteristics of $NH_4-N$ to biochar produced from rice hull in respective to mitigation of greenhouse gases. METHODS AND RESULTS: $NH_4-N$ concentration was analyzed by UV spectrophotometer. For adsorption experiment of $NH_4-N$ to biochar, input amount of biochar was varied from 0.4 to 10 g/L with 30 mg/L $NH_4-N$ solution. Its adsorption characteristic was investigated with application of Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption amount and removal rates of $NH_4-N$ were decreased at 53.9% and increased at 20.2% with 10 g/L compared to 0.4 g/L, respectively. The sorption of $NH_4-N$ to biochar produced from rice hull was fitted well by a Langmuir model. The largest adsorption amount of $NH_4-N$ ($q_m$) and binding strength constant (b) were calculated as 0.4980 mg/g, and 0.0249 L/mg, respectively. It was observed that dimensionless constant ($R_L$) was 0.58. CONCLUSION: It was indicated that biochar produced from rice hull is favorably absorbed $NH_4-N$, because this value lie within 0< $R_L$ <1.

In this work, the adsorption characteristics of the activated carbon treated with 30 wt. %HCl and 30 wt. % NaOH were investigated. The acid and base values were determined by Boehm's method and the surface area and porosity was measured by BET-method with $N_2$-adsorption. Also, the adsorption characteristics of the activated carbons treated with acid and base chemical solutions were investigated with $CO_2$ and $NH_3$-adsorption. From which, relatively different adsorption behaviors of the modified activated carbons were observed in the amounts of $CO_2$ and $NH_3$ adsorptions, even though the physical surface structures of the activated carbons, such as specific surface area, pore size and pore volume, were not significantly changed.

The potential energy of adsorbate molecules in the main channel of $K^+$ ion exchanged zeolite L(K-L) was calculated. In K-L which adsorbs three molecules per unit cell, the interaction energies of $H_2O,\;NH_3,\;CH_3NH_2,\;(CH_3)_2NH,\;and\;(CH_3)_3N$ molecules with zeolite lattice are 61.11, 62.31, 65.68, 74.65, and 79.88kJ/mol, respectively. These values are less by 3.7∼12.6kJ/mol than $K^+$ ion affinities with adsorbing molecules. These results may be due to the facts that the electrostatic energies are reduced by the negative charge of the lattice oxygens. The distribution of adsorption sites of $NH_3$ and $CH_3NH_2$ in K-L was investigated by a technique of temperature programmed desorption. The experimental value of desorption energies of $NH_3$ and $CH_3NH_2$ on K-L are in good agreement with the theoritical values. It is concluded that the desorption of $NH_3$ and $CH_3NH_2$ on K-L is the first-order desorption with free readsorption.

The adsorption characteristics of ammonia-Cu(II) complex on activated carbon were studied. Firstly, the specific surface area of the activated carbon was measured by using the BET adsorption apparatus. Secondly, the characteristics of the removal copper(II) ion from aqueous ammonia solution by forming a complex with ammonia and then by the adsorption of the complex on the activated carbon were studied. It was found that the specific surface area increases with decreasing the mesh number of the activated carbon, and the optimum pH for the adsorption of the Cu(II) ion on she activated carbon was found to be approximately 6. It was also found that the adsorbed Cu(II)-ammonia complexes on the activated carbon in the aqueous ammonia solution have two types, depending on the concentration of the solution ; i.e. $[Cu(NH_3){_2}]^{2+}$and $[Cu(NH_3){_3}]^{2+}$ for $2.25{\times}10^{-4}(mol/{\ell})$and $2.25{\times}10^{-3}(mol/{\ell})$, respectively.

In this work, we studied the degree of hydrolysis of ion exchanger in $NH_4OH$ solution and sorption characteristics of $NH_3$ by potentiometric titration curves with using carboxylic acid ion exchanger Fiban K-4. We knew that the theoretical pH values agreed with the experimental pH values on the $NH_4OH$ concentrations in various concentrations of supporting electrolyte $(NH_4)_2SO_4$. The sorption values of $NH_3$ using the ion exchanger can be calculated from equivalent sorption curves for various pH. Also, the degree of hydrolysis increased with decreasing concentration of supporting electrolyte and pH. In order to obtain the mono ion form below 0.01 M as the decreasing concentration of supporting electrolyte, the pH values should be increased. From these results, therefore, the concentrations of supporting electrolyte and pH values were determined.

The adsorptivity of Methylene Blue on Korean Yeongil bentonite which was premixed with a salt of KF or $NH_{4}Cl$ etc., treated at $200-500^{\circ}C$, washed and dried, was studied. In case of treatment with$NH_{4}Cl$, slight improvement of the adsorptivity of methylene blue on the products was observed. With KF, treated at$200-300^{\circ}C$, the best results was obtained. The adsorption capacity of the products was improved about 1.7 times than that of original bentonite. With $FeSO_4$ or $Na_{2}CO_3$ etc. improvement of the adsorption capacity on the products was not observed.
