Dodecyldimethylethylammonium (DDDEA), a cationic surfactant, and aluminum metal ions were used with bentonite to synthesize to synthesize an improved organo bentonite. Among three different synthesis procedure for organo bentonites, aluminium-pillared bentonite showed the highest DDDEA sorption, which indicated that aluminium-pillared organo bentonite would exhibit the highest sorption capacity for organic contaminants. Aluminium pillared organo bentonite also showed a high sorption capability for phosphorus, while it did not exhibit strong sorption for nitrate. In the meantime, more desorption was observed with aluminium-pillared organo bentonite than ordinary organo bentonites.

The adsorption and separation behaviors of alkali, alkaline earth and transition metal ions using a poly-dibenzo-18-crown-6 were investigated in aqueous solution. The adsorption degree(E) and distribution ratio(D) of alkali, alkaline earth metal ions were Li(I)$t_R$) of metal ions were affected by the adsorption degree(E) and distribution ratio(D). This results showed good separation efficiency of K(I), Sr(II), Ag(I) and Pb(II) from the mixed metal solution.

The separation efficiency of metal ions by using silica gel bonded 15-crown-5 (SGBM) has been determined by column chromatography in aqueous solution at pH 1. Bindinng constants and separation factors for several SGBM-Metal interactions were measured in aqueous solution. The order of these binding constants and separation factors with metal ions was Li(Ⅰ) < Sr(Ⅱ) < Na(Ⅰ) < Cu(Ⅱ) < Mg(Ⅱ) < K(Ⅰ) < Ca(Ⅱ) < Bi(Ⅲ) < Sb(Ⅲ). These results were explained in terms of the size effect and electron density effect. This experimental results showed good efficiency for separation of $Sb^{3+}$ from mixtures of alkali, alkaline earth metal ions, and $Cu^{2+}$ in aqueous solution.

The hydroxide precipitation method is appropriate to distinguish free metal ions with complexed metal ions with amino acids. Optimum pH conditions of hydroxide precipitation were investigated using mixed amino acids which have similar composition ratio with hydrolyzed amino acids. When applied to soil samples immobilities of Hg, Cr, and Cu ion with mixed and hydrolyzed amino acids were reasonable. But those of Cd and Zn were not sufficient.

The activity of microorganisms is an important factor that determines the efficiency of the bacterial recovery of precious metals from low-grade ore. Metal-leaching microorganisms must have a tolerance, within the concentration levels encountered to leached metals. In this study, the tolerance levels of Thiobacillus ferroxidans to the single and mixed metal ions systems, composed of $Zn^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, and $Cd^{2+}$ were investigated. When single metal ions of $Zn^{2+}$ (10~60 g/L), $Cu^{2+}$ (1~6 g/L), $Ni^{2+}$ (1~6 g/L), or $Cd^{2+}$ (1~6 g/L) were added to the growth medium of T. ferrooxidans, the iron oxidation rate of this bacterium was not significantly inhibited. The maximum inhibition percentage observed on the iron oxidation rate of T. ferrooxidans was approximately 50% in the medium supplemented with two or three mixed metal ions of $Cu^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, and $Cd^{2+}$. However, when $Zn^{2+}$ was also added to the medium with the other metal ions, the inhibitory effect on the iron oxidation activity of T. ferroxidans was remarkably increased.

The ion exchange capacity of HDBPDA ion exchanger, {(4,5) : (13,14)-dibenzo-6,9,12-trioxa-3,15,21-triazabicyclo[15.3.l]heneicosa-(1,17,19)(18,20,21) triene ion exchanger: HDBPDA ion exchanger} was 3.8 meq/g. The distribution coefficients of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions in water and the various concentration of hydrochloric acid were determined. Concentration of hydrochloric acid have almost not influenced on the distribution coefficients of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions, but generally, the distribution coefficient was slightly increased with decrease of concentration of hydrochloric acid. The distribution coefficients of metal ions in water are larger than those of various hydrochloric acid concentrations. Also, alkali and alkaline earth metal ions are separated by column ion exchange chromatography using HDBPDA ion exchange with water as eluent. The distribution coefficents of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions were increased with increase of ionic radii of metal ions.

물에 용해되어 있는 금속이온의 분리를 위한 선택성이 있는 분리 막의 개발은 환경오염이 날로 심각해지고 있는 오늘날에 환경오염의 개선, 에너지절약, 자원의 재활용 등 문제를 해결함에 있어서 아주 중요한 작용을 하게 될 것이다. 물에 용해되어 있는 금속이온을 선택적으로 분리하기 위해 일반적으로 캐리어(carrier)를 함유한 Carrier-Facilitated Transport Membrane (CFM)을 이용하게 되는데, 이 방면에 대한 연구는 주로 유기 상에 용해되어 있는 캐리어를 microporous한 필름에 지지하게 하는 방식으로 만들어진 Supported Liquid Membrane (SLM) 혹은 Elusion Liquid Membrance (ELM)의 개발에 대한 팽대한 연구가 이루어 졌다(1).

Algal biomass was used in our study in order to remove some metals. After packing of 40~60 mesh algae powder into column for use of metal adsorbent, the metal solution of 1mL/min of flow rate was eluted to adsorb in algae. More amount of Cu(II) or Zn(II) ion in green algae, Ulva pertusa Kjellman than in brown algae, Sargassum horneri (Turner) C. Agarch were adsorbed and Cu(II) ion was more adsorbed in both algae than Zn(II) ion. Recovery of metal from algae is showing higher in acidic or neutral than in alkalic conditions. Cu(II) ion is recovered relatively higher than Zn(II) ion in our system.

A chelating resin was prepared by the reaction of formaldehyde and resorcinol. It possesses high adsorption selectivity for transition metal ions such as Pb(II) and Ni(II). The adsorption and desorption yields of Pb(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Fe(II) and Zn(II) were determined using batch method. The significant characteristics of the chelating resin is the exchange processes between its hydrogen and metal ions. The mechanism of metal adsorption and desorption seems to be the competing protonation and complexation reaction of the functional group of the resin. This resin was applied to the rapid concentration of trace amounts of these metal ions and to the separation of Pb(II) from other metal ions in bulk solution.

Continuous ion exchange characteristics of the synthetic coolant contained Ni, Co and Ag ions of low concentration in acidic-oxidizing conditions have been studied to suggest the guideline for the optimum operation of mixed-bed demincralizer during the shutdown period of a pressurized water reactor (PWR). In the effect of the form of cation resins on the removal capacity of metal ions, the performance of a $H^+$-form resin was about 6% higher than that of a $Li^+$-form resin. Mixed-bed of cation and anion resins in comparison with nonmixed-bed of them, had no affected on the removal capacity of metal ions but very slightly increased the slope of breakthrough curves of metal ions. In the effect related to acidic-oxidizing conditions of the coolant, the addition of boric acid very slightly decreased the slope of breakthrough curves of metal ions, while the addition of hydrogen peroxide slightly decreased the removal capacity of metal ions.
