The characteristics of phosphate desorption on kaolinite was studied by batch adsorptiondesorption experiments. Desorption procedure was carried out through sequential extraction method at pH 4. The phosphorous contents were measured using UV-VIS-IR spectrophotometer with 820 nm wavelength. The adsorption-desorption reaction of P on kaolinite was irreversible, and most of adsorbed P on kaolinite were not easily dissolved to aqueous solution, but may might be fixed on kaolinite surface. The desorption isotherms were well fitted with the Freundlich and Temkin equations in the case of short reaction and long reaction time, respectively. The desorption reaction was divided into the early fast reaction and the later slow reaction. The percentage of desorption generally decreased with increasing adsorbed P concentration and increasing desorption reaction time.

In this study, we propose two methods able to recover different type of gold from gold-cyanide solutions: biosorption and desorption process for mono-valent gold recovery and biosorption and incineration process for zero-valent gold recovery. The waste bacterial biomass of Corynebacterium glutamicum generated from amino acid fermentation industry was used as a biosorbent. The pH edge experiments indicated that the optimal pH range was pH 2 - 3. From isothermal experiment and its fitting with Langmuir equation, the maximum uptake capacity of Au(I) at pH 2.5 were determined to be 35.15 mg/g. Kinetic tests evidenced that the process is very fast so that biosorption equilibrium was completed within the 60 min. To recover Au(I), the gold ions were able to be successfully eluted from the Au-loaded biosorbent by changing the pH to pH 7 and the desorption efficiency was 91%. This indicates that the combined process of biosorption and desorption would be effective for the recovery of Au(I). In order to recover zero-valent gold, the Au-loaded biosorbents were incinerated. The content of zero-valent gold in the incineration ash was as high as 85%. Therefore, we claim on the basis of the results that two suggested combined processes could be useful to recover gold from cyanide solutions and chosen according to the type of gold to be recovered.

Sorption and desorption processes play an important role in the transport and fate of organic contaminants in subsurface system. In this study, sorption and desorption characteristics of atrazine in 7 soils selected at the Gwangju area were investigated. Soil organic carbon contents ranged from 0.42 to 2.82%. Sorption and desorption experiments were performed in batch slurries. Sorption distribution coefficient ($K_d$) of atrazine were ranged from 0.48 to 3.26 l/kg and $K_d$ value increased with increasing organic carbon contents except of Kyongbang and Youngdong soils. Single desorption data were analyzed by the three-site desorption model including equilibrium, non-equilibrium and non-desorbable site. Non-desorbable site fractions of atrazine in all soils were enumerated and non-desorbable atrazine was observed in seriesdilution desorption experiment. Sorption/desorption hysteresis was also observed in the series-dilution desorption experiment.

Ammonium desorption from 16 soils treated with $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ solution (2000 ppm $NH_4$) was investigated by seven extractions with 0.01M $CaCl_2$. 1. There were 2 to 4 steps alternately appeared with fast and slow mode. 2. Desorption equation, log y=b-ax where y is desorption amount, b a constant indicating adsorption maximum, a retention constant, and x extraction number, was held for each step. 3. Desorption rate (100${\times}$desorption / adsorption) was 65% for the average of 15 soils, maximum 87% in Gimcheon series, minimum 32% in Samgag series. Yongho series (a peat soil) showed 156% indicating the release of large quantity of indigenous soil ammonium. 4. Desorption rate was negatively correlated with initial adsorption and in this relation the tested soils were classified into 3 groups. 5. The cumulative desorption curve was approaching almost to maximum in all tested soils with seven extractions. The final retention amount, ranged from 25% of CEC (Gimhae series) to 502% (Samgag Series). 6. Amount and rate of desorption did not have any significant relation with Langmuir adsorption maxima of ammonium, CEC and contents of clay, available phosphorus and organic matter. 7. The above results may indicate that adsorption and desorption of ammonium is closely related with iron, aluminum silicate and adsorption and desorption characteristics of accompanied anions.

Adsorption is a major process causing the accumulation of arsenic onto soil. Therefore, further understanding of the adsorption/desorption characteristics of arsenic species on soil is essential for predicting their fate and preparing appropriate remediation strategy to remove arsenic from soil. In this study, the column adsorption/desorption experiment has been performed with As(III) and As(V) on soil. Experiment with As(III) was conducted under reducing condition, whereas that with As(V) was under oxidizing condition. Most of As(III) was remained on the oxidation state during the experiment. The results showed that the adsorption/desorption rate of As(III) was higher than that of As(V). Adsorption and desorption of arsenic species were not completely reversible in the column experiment. It was also found that As(V) in the column experiment was adsorbed more rapidly on soil than in the batch experiment.

본 연구는 톨루엔이 흡착된 활성탄에 따라 MW를 적용함으로써 열적 탈착을 유도하여 활성탄을 재생하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 따라서 MW를 활성탄에 적용함으로써 발생하는 특성을 다음과 같이 분석하였다. 100W, 500W출력의 MW를 GAC에 적용 시 저출력인 100W에서는 방전 현상이 일어나지 않았으며, MW의 출력이 높아질수록 활성탄의 급속한 온도상승과 그에 따른 빈번한 방전이 발생하였다. 이는 출력이 높아 온도상승이 급속해지면 GAC에 흡착된 VOCs를 탈착 시에는 유리하나 높은 온도와 더불어 방전으로 인해 톨루엔의 분해가능성이 높아져 2차적인 오염물질을 배출할 수 있는 문제점을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 100W의 출력에서도 GAC에 흡착 된 톨루엔을 탈착시키기에 충분한 온도 상승과 방전 줄임 현상을 알 수 있었다. 또한 100W의 출력에서 98%의 탈착 효율을 얻을 수 있었으며 GC/MS 분석결과 탈착가스의 성분에서 95.6%의 톨루엔을 검출 할 수 있었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the adsorption-desorption characteristics of herbicide paraquat on clay minerals, humic materials, and soils under the laboratory conditions. Adsorption time of paraquat on clay minerals was faster than organic materials and soils. Adsorption amount on montmorillonite, 2:1 expanding-lattice clay mineral, was largest among the adsorbents tested. The adsorption capacity of paraquat was approximately 21 % of cation exchange capacity in soils, 45.1 % in kaolinite, and 80.6% in montmorillonite. Humic materials, humic acid and fulvic acid isolated from soil II, adsorbed larger amount of paraquat than kaolinite and soils. Distribution of tightly bound type of paraquat was larger in clay mineral and soils but loosely bound type was larger in humic acid and fulvic acid. In oxidized soil, the adsorption amount of paraquat was decreased to 85.1-95.5% of original soils. Distribution of unbound and loosely bound type of paraquat was decreased in oxidized soil but tightly bound type was increased. The competition cations decreased paraquat adsorption on humic materials and soils but not affected on montmorillonite. No difference was observed as the kinds of cations. In cation-saturated adsorbents, the adsorption amount was decreased largely in humic materials and soils but decreased a little in montmorillonite. The tightly bound type of paraquat in all adsorbents was not desorbed by pH variation, sonication, and cation application but loosely bound type was desorbed. However, the desorption amount was different as a kinds of adsorbents and desorption methods.

The adsorption/desorption behavior and separation conditions of vanadium and tungsten ions were investigated using a gel-type anion-exchange resin. In the adsorption experiment with the initial acidity of the solution, the adsorption rate of vanadium was remarkably low in strong acids and bases. Additionally, the adsorption rate of tungsten was low in a strong base. An increase in the reaction temperature increased the adsorption reaction rate and maximum adsorption. The effect of tungsten on the maximum adsorption was minimal. The adsorption isotherms of vanadium and tungsten on the ion-exchange resin were suitable for the Langmuir adsorption isotherms of both the ions. For tungsten, the adsorption isotherms of vanadium and tungsten were polyoxometalate. Both ion-exchange resins were simulated using similar quadratic reaction rate models. Vanadium was desorbed in the aqueous solutions of HCl or NaOH, the desorption characteristics of vanadium and tungsten depended on the desorption solution, and tungsten was desorbed in the aqueous solution of NaOH. It was possible to separate the two ions using the desorption process. The desorption reaction reached equilibrium within 30 min, and more than 90% recovery was possible.

An electric swing adsorption (ESA) process for recovering highly pure $CO_2$ from the mixed gases was tested. In this study, activated carbon fibers were used as an adsorbent. The activated carbon fibers showed fast adsorption rate and the high adsorption capacity for $CO_2$ adsorption under the condition of the ambient pressure. Activated carbon fiber with higher specific surface area was suitable to repeated adsorption-desorption cycle process, showing consistent breakthrough curve. Especially, the regeneration method by vacuum combined with ESA improved the performance of desorption process by an additional 17％ regeneration efficiency compared to a vacuum only method, and showed the high regeneration efficiency at comparatively low 7-8 Wh energy.

This experiment was conducted to test desorption and recycling characteristics for silver ion adsorbed into waste coffee grounds by using various desorbing agents such as nitric acid, ethylene diamine triacetic acid (EDTA) and nitrilo triacetic acid (NTA). It is appeared that the highest desorption efficiency for silver ions was obtained as about 97.8 % by 1.0 M of nitric acid solution. Also, in the case of less than 1.0 of the ratio of solid and liquid (S/L) (g/L), silver ions adsorbed onto coffee grounds was desorbed as about 98~100 %, and most of desorption process was completed within 60min. In addition, adsorption capacity of reused waste coffee grounds for silver ions was highly maintained as about 43.9 mg/g until the $2^{nd}$ cycle, as compared with the adsorption capacity with 45.9 mg/g of the adsorption capacity for virgin waste coffee grounds.
