Effects of the support and amount of NiCl₂ on ammonia adsorption capacity were investigated to improve the ammonia adsorption performance. NiCl₂ was impregnated onto the surface of various supports under ultrasonic irradiation. The physicochemical properties and ammonia adsorption performance of NiCl₂-impregnated adsorbents were investigated. Among the various supports, it was found that the adsorption capacity of ammonia was the best when NiCl₂ was impregnated on activated carbon (AC) with the highest specific surface area. As a result of changing the amount of NiCl₂ impregnated on AC, the NiCl₂(2.0)/AC adsorbent impregnated with 2 mmol·g^-1 of NiCl₂ showed the highest ammonia adsorption capacity of 5.977 mmol·g^-1. In addition, the adsorption capacity was found to be maintained at an almost constant level in five repeated cycle tests under the condition that low-temperature heat could be utilized. This indicates that the adsorbent has excellent regeneration ability.

각종 공장에서 발생되는 오염물질 중 악취물질은 작업환경을 나쁘게 하고 작업자의 건강을 해치고 있으며, 외부로 방출될 경우 공장 혹은 주택지까지 이동하여 지역주민의 민원의 요인이 되고 있다. 악취는 사람의 관능에 따라 즉시 폐해를 주며, 특히 황화수소와 메틸메르캅탑은 아주 적은 농도에서도 악취를 발생시키고, 그 자극이 메스꺼움, 두통, 식욕감퇴, 호흡곤란 및 알레르기 현상 등의 인체의 자각반응을 나타내므로 이들 악취물질들의 제거는 필수적이라 하겠다.(중략)

악취가스제거용으로 흔히 파쇄상 활성탄소를 사용하고 있는데 조립상 침착 활성탄소를 사용하면 경도가 높고 입도가 균일하여 흡착탑 내에서 일정한 가스 유속분포를 얻을 수 있고 Life Time을 연장할 수 있기 때문에 여러 장점이 있다. 일반 활성탄소의 표면은 비극성이며 흡착력이 본질적으로 단순히 반델발스 힘에 의한 물리흡착이기 때문에 황화수소나 $NH_3$ 등 비점이 낮은 성분에 대해서는 충분한 흡착성을 갖지 못한다. (중략)

Adsorption characteristics of $H_{2}S$ on KOH impregnated activated carbon were evaluated using dynamic adsorption method in a fixed bed. The pore properties, including BET's specific surface area, pore volume, pore size distribution, and mean pore diameter of these KOH impregnated activated carbons, were characterized from $N_{2}$ adsorption/desorption isotherms. Adsorption equilibrium data were correlated with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The adsorption of $H_{2}S$ onto the KOH impregnated activated carbon is better fitted by the Langmuir isotherm. An increase in the content of oxygen affects the performance of KOH impregnated activated carbon to the greatest extent.

One of the major malodorous gas at the working place is hydrogen sulfide and impregnated activated carbon fiber(ACF) was used as a adsorbent to remove this gas. ACF is treated and impregnated with chemicals to increase the adsorption capacity. The experiments showed that the adsorption efficiency for hydrogen sulfide was increased in case of impregnation with $Na_2CO_3$ or KI. Also, by the surface treatment with NaOH, the adsorption efficiency was increased however not so much as impregnation. KI was the best impregnant for this purpose and the optimum concentration was 9wt%. The adsorption capacity of hydrogen sulfide was more than 500mg/g ACF.

Malodorous gases give discomfort and harm to laborers and residential neighborhoods and therefore, the removing odor materials emitted from plants and industrial facilities is important subject. The main ingredients of alkali odor are $NH_3$ and $CE_3SH$. The adsorption characteristics of odors were studied using four different activated carbon fibers(ACF) and active carbon(AC). Alkali odor was removed by using ACF impregnated with $H_3PO_4$ and $H_2SO_4$ and treated with $HNO_3$ and NaOH. The experimental result showed that ACF has a higher removal efficiency than AC. The adsorption capacity was increased with the impregnation and surface treatment, and $H_2SO_4$ was the best impregnant for the removal of alkali odor.

일반적으로 흡착분리공정 기술개발은 대략 3단계의 과정을 거치게 되는데 흡착제의 선정, 흡착탑의 거동해석, 연속공정 구성 및 운전으로 이루어진다. 이중 흡착제의 선정은 대상 혼합물에 어떤 흡착제를 사용하여 효율적인 분리 결과를 얻을 수 있는가를 결정하는 기초단계이면서도 가장 중요한 과정이다. 이를 위해 여러 흡착제에 대한 흡착평형량과 이로부터 얻어지는 선택도, 흡착열, 그리고 흡착질과 흡착제 사이의 물질전달저항과 흡착제의 기공 분포도, 기공부피, 기공율, 비표면적, 충전 밀도(Bulk Density), 파쇄 강도 및 마모저항 등과 같은 물리적 특성을 종합적으로 비교 검토하여 흡착제를 선택하여야 한다.

Metal-impregnated activated carbons were prepared via ultrasonic-assisted impregnation method for regeneration and low ammonia concentration. Magnesium and copper were selected as metals, while chloride (Cl^-) and nitrate (NO₃^-) precursors were used to impregnate the surface of activated carbon. The physical and chemical properties of the prepared adsorbents were characterized by TGA, BET, and NH₃-TPD. The ammonia breakthrough test was carried out using a fixed bed and flowing ammonia gas (1000 mg L^-1 NH₃, balanced N₂) at 100 mL min^-1, under conditions of temperature swing adsorption (TSA) and pressure swing adsorption (PSA, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 Mpa). The adsorption and desorption performance of ammonia were in the order of AC-Mg(Cl) > AC-Cu(Cl) > AC-Mg(N) > AC-Cu(N) > AC through NH₃-TPD and TSA and PSA processes. AC-Mg(Cl) using MgCl₂ showed the average adsorption amount of 2.138 mmol/g at TSA process. Also, AC-Mg(Cl) showed the highest initial adsorption amount of 3.848 mmol/g at PSA 0.9 Mpa. When metal impregnated the surface of the activated carbon, it was confirmed that not only physical adsorption, but also chemical adsorption increased, making enhancement in adsorption and desorption performances possible. Also, the prepared adsorbents showed stable adsorption and desorption performances despite repeated processes, confirming their applicability in the TSA and PSA processes.

Application of manganese-impregnated activated carbon(Mn-AC) in the treatment of synthetic wastewater containing both organic and inorganic contaminants was investigated. Phenol and As(III) was used as representative organic and inorganic contaminants, respectively. When the stability of Mn-AC at acidic condition was evaluated with variation of solution pH ranging from 2 to 4, Mn-AC was unstable below pH 3, while negligible dissolution of Mn was observed above pH 4. This stability test suggests a plausible applicability of Mn-AC in the treatment of wastewater above pH 4. Compared to AC-alone, the adsorption rates of phenol as well as adsorbed amounts of phenol by Mn-AC were slightly decreased due to the decrease of the surface area by impregnation. The maximum adsorbed amount of phenol by Mn-AC was corresponds to 75% of that by AC-alone from the adsorption isotherm study. The oxidation efficiency of As(III) by Mn-AC was greater than that by AC-alone at lower pHs while reverse trend was observed as pH increased above 7. From this work, it was found that Mn-AC could be used in the simultaneous treatment of both phenol and As(III).

We investigated the properties of impregnated activated carbons, a commercial adsorbent for the individual protection equipment, and examined CO adsorption and oxidation to $CO_2$. The surface area, pore volume and pore size were measured for four commercial samples using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller/Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BET/BJH), and atomic compositions of the sample surface were analyzed based on SEM/EDS and XPS. Impregnated activated carbons containing Mn and Cu for fire showed the catalytic CO oxidation to $CO_2$ with a high catalytic activity (up to 99% $CO_2$ yield), followed by the CO adsorption at an initial reaction time. On the other hand, C: for chemical biologial and radiological (CBR) samples, not including Mn, showed a lower CO conversion to $CO_2$ (up to 60% yield) compared to that of fire samples. It was also found that a heat-treated activated carbon has a higher removal capacity both for CO and $CO_2$ at room temperature than that of untreated carbon, which was probably due to the impurity removal in pores resulted in a detection-delay about 30 min.
