C-S-H phase is the most abundant reaction product, occupying about 50~60% of cement paste volume. The phase is also responsible for most of engineering properties of cement paste. This is not because it is intrinsically strong or stable, but because it forms a continuous layer that binds together the original cement particles into a cohesive whole. The binding ability of C-S-H phase arises from its nanometer-level structure. In terms of chloride penetration in concrete, C-S-H phase is known to adsorb chloride ions, however, its mechanism is very complicated and still not clear. The purpose of this study is to examine the interaction between chloride ions and C-S-H phase with various Ca/Si ratios and identify the adsorption mechanism. C-S-H phase can absorb chloride ions with 3 steps. In the C-S-H phase with low Ca/Si ratios, momentary physical adsorption could not be expected. Physical adsorption is strongly dependent on electro-kinetic interaction between surface area of C-S-H phase and chloride ions. For C-S-H phase with high Ca/Si ratio, electrical kinetic interaction was strongly activated and the amount of surface complexation increased. However, chemical adsorption could not be activated for C-S-H phase with high Ca/Si ratio. The reason can be explained in such a speculation that chloride ions cannot be penetrated and adsorbed chemically. Thus, the maximum chloride adsorption capacity was obtained from the C-S-H phase with a 1.50 Ca/Si ratio.

활성탄소는 입자내 공극이 잘 발달된 무정형 탄소로서 흡착성 및 촉매성이 뛰어나 대기오염의 주범인 유독성 배기가스의 흡착이나 폐수처리, 정수처리 등에 널리 사용되고 있다. 환성탄소 제조공정은 크게 보아 탄화 및 활성화 공정으로 나눌 수 있으며 활성화 방법에 따라 화학적 활성법과 물리적 가스 활성법으로 나눌 수 있다. 가스 활성법은 고온에서 수증기나 $CO_2$,O$_2$ 그 외의 산화성가스를 char와 접촉시키는 방법이고, 화학적 활성법은 염화아연, 인산, 수산화칼륨등과 같은 탈수, 산화, 침식성이 큰 화학약품으로 탄소질을 침식시키는 방법이다.

The chloride ions, responsible for the initiation of the corrosion mechanism, intrude from the external medium into the concrete. A part of the intruding chloride ions will be retained by the hydration products of the binder in concrete, either through chemical adsorption or by physical adsorption. Since the hydration products of cement are responsible for the chloride binding in concrete, this study focused on the chloride binding in individual hydrate. The purpose of this study is to explore the time dependant behaviors of chloride ions adsorption with cement hydrates, focused on its mechanism. AFt phase and CH phase were not able to absorb chloride ion, however, C-S-H phase and AFm phase had a significant chloride adsorption capacity. In particular, AFm phase showed a chemical adsorption with slow rate in 40 days, while C-S-H phase showed binding behaviors with 3 stages including momentary physical adsorption, physico-chemical adsorption, and chemical adsorption. Based on the results, this study suggested theoretical approach to depict chloride adsorption behavior with elapsed time of C-S-H phase and AFm phase effectively. It is believed that the approach suggested in this study can provide us with a good solution to understand the mechanism on chloride adsorption with hydrates and to calculate a rate of chloride penetration with original source of chloride ions, for example, marine sand at initial time or sea water penetration later on.

The objectives of this research were to (1) identify the membrane fouling potential due to different fractions of NOM (2) correlate the physicochemical properties of NOM and membranes with the adsorption of humic substances on membrane (4) find out the effect of membrane physical and chemical washing according to membrane material. The static adsorption test and adsorption test showed that hydrophobic organics adsorbed much more quickly than hydrophilic organics. In case of the effect of membrane properties on the adsorption of organic fractions, the adsorption rate ratio(a) of hydrophobic membrane (0.016, 0.077) was greater than that of hydrophilic membrane (0.010, 0.033) regardless of the kind of organic fractions. This suggests that the UF membrane fouling were occurred mainly by internal pore size decreasing due to adsorption of organic into pore surface for hydrophobic membrane, and by sieving of organics and forming a gel layer on the membrane surface for hydrophilic membrane. In conclusion, the decrease in the pore volume, which was caused by the organic adsorption into the internal pore, was greater with the hydrophobic membrane than with the hydrophilic membrane. In case of the effect of membrane properties on permeate flux, the rate of flux decline for the hydrophobic membrane was significantly greater than that for the hydrophilic membrane.

Interaction of xenon with alkaline-earth cations in Y zeolite supercage was studied by xenon adsorption and $^{129}Xe$ NMR experiments. The CaY and the BaY samples were prepared by exchanging $Ca^{2+}$ and $Ba^{2+}$ into a high-purity NaY zeolite. Xenon adsorption isotherms of these samples were obtained by using a conventional volummetric gas adsorption apparatus in the range of 260 to 320 K and the chemical shift in the $^{129}Xe$ NMR spectrum of the adsorbed xenon was measured at 296 K. The chemical shift against pressure was quantitatively explained assuming that the xenon gas exchanged very rapidly between various adsorption sites consisting of zeolite-framework surface and alkaline-earth ion. From this analysis, it was found that the alkaline-earth ion adsorbed xenon more strongly than $Na^+$ ion and zeolite-framework surface. Baring on the difference of the adsorption strength, the number of the alkaline-earth cations present in the zeolite supercage could be estimated by analyzing the adsorption isotherm.

In this study, nitrogen plasma treatment was performed in 5, 10, and 15 minutes to improve the tetracycline adsorption performance of activated carbon. All nitrogen plasma-treated activated carbons showed improved tetracycline adsorption compared to untreated activated carbons. The nitrogen functional groups in activated carbon lead to chemisorption with tetracycline via π-π interactions and hydrogen bonding. In particular, in the nitrogen plasma treatment at 80 W and 50 kHz, the activated carbon treated for 10 minutes had the best adsorption performance. At this time, the nitrogen content on the surface of the activated carbon was 2.03% and the specific surface area increased to 1,483 m²/g. As a result, nitrogen plasma treatment of activated carbon improved its physical and chemical adsorption capabilities. In addition, since the adsorption experimental results were in good agreement with the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order model, it was determined that the adsorption of tetracycline on the nitrogen plasma-treated activated carbon was dominated by chemical adsorption through a monolayer. As a result, nitrogen plasma-treated activated carbon can be used as an adsorbent to efficiently remove tetracycline from water due to the synergistic effect of physical adsorption and proactive chemical adsorption.

To study the Cd adsorption in the presence of competing ions in soil-solution interphase, three soil samples from the Bt horizon were taken and analyzed for their physical and chemical properties. Adsorption of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether(EGME) and N, were determined to establish the specific surface area of the soils. We attempted to establish a qeneralizing competitive sorption isotherms for soils of entirely different composition of the solid phase, resulting in the routine use as a guidelines for the fate of reactive solute in soil profiles. Many physicochemical factors including competitive adsorption bettween solutes will affect the general adsorption phenomena as shown in a single not only on the soil:solution ratio used, but also on the surface areas of its respective soil samples. This phenomenon was attributed to competition Cd for sorption sites with Mg by different soil constituents. These adsorption isotherms are able to use as examples to demonstrate that this phenomenon can complicate the development of a standardized batch adsorption procedure as well as interpreting fate and adsorption of toxic inorganic compounds.

Biosorption is considered to be a promising alternative to replace the present methods for the treatment of dye-containing wastewater. In this study, sewage sludge was used as a biosorbent which could be one of the cheapest and most abundant biomaterials. The objective of this work is to develop a surface-modified biosorbent with enhanced sorption capacity and binding affinity. The FT-IR and potentiometric titration studies revealed that carboxyl, phosphateand amine groups played a role in binding of dye molecules. The binding sites for reactive dye Reactive Red 4 (RR 4) were identified to be amino groups present in the biomass. In this work, based on the biosorption mechanism, the performance of biosorbentcould be enhanced by the removal of inhibitory carboxyl groups from the biomass for practical application of the biosorbents. As a result, the maximum capacity of biomass was increased up to 130% and 210% of the increment of sorption capacity at pH 2 and 4, respectively. Therefore, chemically modified sewage sludge can be used as an effective and low-cost biosorbent for the removal of dyes from industrial discharges.
