Water quality is affected by the pollutants flowing into rivers since the interaction between water bodies and sediments in various environmental conditions. Especially, accumulation of sediments increases in the stagnant water areas due to a relative long hydrological retention time in the water bodies. Therefore, it is an important factor of water quality to understand characterization of the material behavior in water bodies and sediments. In this study, the objective of the conditional experiments was small and medium sized streams located in Gyeonggi-do. To estimate how the changes of fluoride behavior, depending on the pH, ion type, concentration, and clay contents. The pH results showed a trend that adsorption amount of fluorine decreased and the dissolution of fluorine increased following by pH increasing. The concentration and type of ions results showed that $Cl^-$ and $SO{_4}^{2-}$ ions had no significant effect on the adsorption ability of fluorine, the amount of dissolution was increased because $OH^-$ ion had active competition with fluorine in the reaction. The ingredient of sediment results showed that the amounts of fluoride adsorption and dissolution were reduced in samples, which contain relatively large amounts of Silt and Clay components. This means that the environmental conditions of water bodies greatly affect the adsorption and dissolution of fluoride in the sediments, so that proper management of fluoride in the sediments must precede an understanding of the environmental conditions of the water bodies.

The adsorption characteristics of raw and crosslinked chitosan for rare earth elements (REEs) have been studied. The range of optimum pH for the maximum adsorption was observed: pH 4.5~5.5 for $Nd^{3+}$, $Tm^{3+}$ on raw and crosslinked chitosan; pH 4.0~5.5 for $La^{3+}$ and $Ce^{3+}$ on crosslinked chitosan and pH 2.0 for those on raw chitosan. The adsorption rate of REE at pH 4.0 has been found in the order of $Er^{3+}$ > $Gd^{3+}$ > $Yb^{3+}$ > $Nd^{3+}$ > $Lu^{3+}$ > $Eu^{3+}$ > $Tm^{3+}$ > $Ho^{3+}$ > $Dy^{3+}$ > $La^{3+}$ > $Ce^{3+}$ > $Y^{3+}$ > $Pr^{3+}$ in single metal system and that of $Lu^{3+}$ > $Yb^{3+}$ > $Tm^{3+}$ > $Dy^{3+}$ > $Ho^{3+}$ > $Er^{3+}$ > $Eu^{3+}$ > $Gd^{3+}$ > $Nd^{3+}$ > $Y^{3+}$ > $La^{3+}=Ce^{3+}=Pr^{3+}$ in multi metal system. In the competitive adsorption of multi metal system, the amount of metal adsorption generally increased with increasing atomic number and with decreasing ionic radius. On the adsorption studies of metal ions on chitosan, the time of equilibrium adsorption which was reached at the maximum adsorption was about 5 hours. 83~95 % for $Nd^{3+}$ ion and 90~106 % for $Tm^{3+}$ ion, were recovered from the crosslinked chitosan.

원수 중의 오염물의 양과 종류가 급격히 증가함에 따라 기존의 정수방법은 점차 그 한계를 노출하고 있다. 이러한 문제점의 대안으로 최근 막분리기술을 도입한 고도정수처리공정이 주목되고 있다. 역삼투(reverse osmosis)와 나노여과(nanofiltration)등의 분리막을 이용한 정수처리 공정에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔으나, 경제성이 보다 큰 한외여과(ultrafiltration, UF)와 부날활성탄(powdered activated carbon, PAC)의 결합 시스템의 도입이 연구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PAC-UF 시스템의 유입수에 배경물질(background organic matters, BOM)을 포함한 이성분계에서 미량유기물의 경쟁적 흡착 거동을 고찰하였다.

The widespread occurrence of dissolved endocrine disrupting compounds(EDCs) and pharmaceutical active compounds(PhACs) in water sources is of concern due to their adverse effects. To remove these chemicals, adsorption of EDCs/PhACs on granular activated carbon(GAC) was investigated, and bisphenol A, carbamazepine, diclofenac, ibuprofen, and sulfamethoxazole were selected as commonly occurring EDCs/PhACs in the aquatic environment. Various adsorption isotherms were applied to evaluate compatability with each adsorption in the condition of single-solute. Removal difference between individual and competitive adsorption were investigated from the physicochemical properties of each adsorbate. Hydrophobicity interaction was the main adsorption mechanism in the single-solute adsorption with order of maximum adsorption capacity as bisphenol A > carbamazepine > sulfamethoxazole > diclofenac > ibuprofen, while both hydrophobicity and molecular size play significant roles in competitive adsorption. Adsorption kinetic was also controled by hydrophobicity of each adsorbate resulting in higher hydrophobicity allowed faster adsorption on available adsorption site on GAC. EDCs/PhACs adsorption on GAC was determined as an endothermic reaction resulting in better adsorption at higher temperature ($40^{\circ}C$) than lower temperature ($10^{\circ}C$).

The effects of the major cations ($Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $K^+$, $Na^+$), complex-forming anions ($SO_4{^{2-}}$, $HCO_3{^-}$), and solution pH on the adsorption of $^{137}Cs$ and $^{90}Sr$ by kaolinite in groundwater chemistry were investigated. Three-dimensional Kd modelling designed by a statistical method was attempted to compare the relative effect among hydrated radii, charge and concentration of competing cations on the adsorption of Cs and Sr. The modelling results indicate that the hydrated radii of competing cations is the most important factor, and then their charges and concentrations are also important factors in order. The property of zeta potential of kaolinite particles was discussed in terms of the amphoteric reactions of a kaolinite surface affecting the adsorption of Cs and Sr. The ionic strength of competing cations on the adsorption of Cs and Sr exerts a greater effect than the solution pH. The sorption behaviour of Sr on kaolinite is also highly dependent on the concentration of bicarbonate. The speciation of Sr and the saturation state of a secondary phase were thermodynamically calculated by a computer program, WATEQ4F. This indicates that the change in solution pH with the concentration of bicarbonate and the precipitation of a strontianite ($SrCO_3$) are major factors controlling Sr adsorption behaviour in the presence of bicarbonate ion.

This study aims to examine absorption characteristics of toluene, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), ethyl acetate (EA), and ternary-compounds, all of which are widely used in industrial processes, by means of four types of commercial activated carbon substances. It turned out that among the three types of volatile organic compounds, the breakthrough point of activated carbon and that of IPA, whose affinity was the lowest, were the lowest, and then that of EA and that of toluene in the order. With the breakthrough point of IPA, which was the shortest, as the standard, changes in the breakthrough points of unary-compounds, binary-compounds, and ternary-compounds were examined. As a result, it turned out that the larger the number of elements, the lower the breakthrough point. This resulted from competitive adsorption, that is, substitution of substances with a low level of affinity with those with a high level of affinity. Hence, the adsorption of toluene-IPA-EA and ternary-compounds require a design of the activated carbon bed based on the breakthrough of IPA, and in the design of activated carbon beds in actual industries as well, a substance whose level of affinity is the lowest needs to be the standard.

To determine the apparent equilibrium constants, K$_{ad,app}$, for the adsorption reactions of trace metals on amorphous iron oxyhydroxide (AIO) in the Taebag coal mine area, time-adsorption and pH-adsorption experiments were performed for a selected bottom sediment mainly comprised of AIO from the study area. The results from the adsorption experiments indicate that most of the trace metals, except Pb, achieve equilibrium states with AIO and thus, the calculated K$_{ad,app}$ may represent the true apparent equilibrium constants. K$_{ad,app}$ and the stoichiometric coefficients of proton, x, of the adsorption reactions between the trace metals and AIO were respectively calculated from the intercepts and slopes of the regression lines of log($\Gamma$/ ［M］$_{aq}$)against pH provided by pH-adsorption experiments. The calculated K$_{ad,app}$ this study has the values of the range from 10$^{－4.5}$ to 10$^{2.75}$ , which is much different from the reported values by other investigators for simple experimental systems. K$_{ad,app}$ of this study is more or less close but not exactly pertinent to the estimated values for the other natural systems. It indicates that K$_{ad,app}$ for the adsorption reactions in the aquatic system in the study area is unique and thus should be determined befor the adsorption modelling. The calculated x of this study has the values of the range from -0.3 to 0.7, which is also much different from what most geochemists generally accept. The discrepancy in x may be due to the competition among different kinds of ionic species on the adsorption site or simulataneous occurrence of different kinds of adsorption reactions. The results from this study should help construct an appropriate adsorption model for the aquatic systems polluted by the coal mine drainage in the Taebag area. With the constructed model, one can describe the concentration variations of trace metals due to the adsorption in the system, which is an essential part of the investigation on the water quality affected by coal mine drainage in the Taebag coal field.

This study presents the effect of CO in flue gas on the $H_2$ SCR by Pt/$TiO_2$ catalyst. Coexisting CO which has characteristics of competitive adsorption with $H_2$ as a reductant on the active sites showed the decrease of catalytic activity. Competitive adsorption with NO, CO and $H_2$ also caused the reduction of activity and $H_2$, CO slip simultaneously. With increasing the inlet CO concentration, such phenomenon became more pronounced. Adding $PdO_2$ and $CeO_2$ on the catalyst to avoid the inhibition by coexisting CO, $CeO_2$ added catalyst exhibited the durability against CO which fed 100 ppm under.

The effect of moisture in flue gas on SCR reaction of NMO (Natural Manganese Ore) was studied. The experiments were performed over NMO with NO, $NH_3$ at independent condition or simultaneous condition. $NH_3$ can be oxidized at low temperature by the lattice oxygen in NMO catalyst. The concentration of NO and $NO_2$ by $NH_3$ oxidation with moisture is higher above $300^{\circ}C$ than that without moisture. Moisture would competitively adsorb with NO and $NH_3$ on NMO catalyst. It caused poor NOx conversion to compete against $H_2O$. Besides the NOx conversion efficiency was reduced at below $250^{\circ}C$ because of the dipped $H_2O$ competitively adsorbed $NH_3$. The reactivity of NMO varied with the calcination temperature and the optimum calcination temperature was $400^{\circ}C$ regardless $H_2O$.

Autoclaving처리를 하지 않은 키토산과 autoclaving처리한 키토산과의 중금속 흡착실험을 해 본 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 도출 할 수 있었다. 1) 먼저 중금속간의 흡착능을 고찰하기 위하여 Langmuir와 Freundlich 흉착등온식에 적용시켜 본 결과 Freundlich 흡착등온식 보다는 Langmuir 흡착등온식이 보다 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 2) 시간에 따라서 autoclaving 처리한 키토산의 중금속 제거 가능성과 그 효율을 검토하기 위하여 각 중금속간의 Langmuir 흡착등온식을 이용하여 $q_{max}$를 나타냈다. 15 min > 60 min > 0 min 순으로 모든 중금속 제거 실험에서 15 min 동안 autoclaving 처리한 키토산의 중금속 흡착량이 가장 높은 것으로 나왔다. 그러므로 기존의 키토산 보다는 15 min동안 autoclaving 처리한 키토산이 중금속 제거에 더 좋은 흡착제로써 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 3) 키토산을 이용한 중금속 제거에서는 $Pb^{2+}$ > $Cd^{2+}$ > $Cu^{2+}$ > $Cr^{3+}$순서로 제거가 되었다. 여러 연구자들의 실험 결과를 종합해 볼 때 Pb$^{2+}$가 중금속 중에 제거가 잘 된다는 연구 결과가 많이 발표 되었으며, $Cd^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Cr^{3+}$의 경우에는 흡착제의 종류에 따라서 제거되는 순서가 다르다는 연구 결과들이 보고 되고 있다. 그러나 어떠한 이유로 중금속의 제거에 차이가 있는지에 대해서는 명확한 결론이 내려져 있지 않는 실정이다. 이러한 중금속간의 경쟁적인 관계에 대해 더 많은 세밀한 연구가 이루어져야 할 것 같다.는 0.52mg/$\ell$~0.99mg/$\ell$~의 범위이었다. 신천에 금호강물을 혼합한 이후에도 부유물질, 생화학적산소요구량, 암모니아태 질소, 총인 등의 농도가 개선되지 않았다. 즉 금호강물의 혼합은 신천수질환경사업소에서 배출되는 방류수에 함유되어 있을 2차 오염물질의 희석이라는 이점외의 수질개선효과는 확인되지 않았다.l years and a new type of transfer crane has been developed.
