In this work we have studied the multilayer stepwise adsorption of gases on solid adsorbents based on the previously developed theory. It is shown that stepwise adsorption isotherms emerge from our theory if an ad hoc adsorption regarding the degree of occupation for each successive layer is abolished and the effect of lateral intermolecular interactions among adsorbate molecules is included. In addition to these the effect of vertical interactions has also been taken into consideration. It seems that the vertical interaction plays a role in deciding the shape and the position of steps in resulting isotherms. It is evident from this research that it is the lateral interaction that is responsible for stepwise adsorption as long as the adsorbent surface is uniform and temperature is sufficiently low.

An improvement over the method of pore size distribution analysis has been made in this work. The improved method is based upon the idea of the micro pore analysis of Mikhail, Brunauer, and Bodor, and utilizes the V-t curve of nitrogen adsorption. Two pore models are assumed, and the deviation of the initial slope of the V-t plot is ascribed to the pore filling and to the adsorption on the wall of unfilled pores. The improved method of this work is very convenient in that the analysis starts from the small pore regions. The method of this work is however quite distinct from the similar V-t plot method proposed by Sellevold and Radjy. The proposed method is applied to a few adsorbents, and very satisfactory results are obtained. The cumulative surface area calculated by this method also agrees very well with those obtained by the BET plot or by the t-method.

최근 국내 대부분의 원자력 발전소 2차 계통 중 복수 탈염설비의 운전 시 pH를 제어하기 위해 에탄올아민(Ethanolamine, ETA)를 사용하고 있으나 ETA를 적용한 후 발생하는 폐수에 의한 방류수의 화학적 산소요구량(COD) 및 총 질소(TN)의 증가는 심각한 환경적인 문제를 발생 시킨다. ETA가 강이나 하천과 같은 수계로 유입되면 자연적으로 생분해되기 힘들고, 분해부산물이 증가되어 수질을 악화시킬 수도 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 폐경석, 제강슬래그, 저회를 혼합하여 제올라이트화(zeolitization)과정을 통해 새로운 형태의 저비용, 고효율의 ETA 처리용 복합흡착제를 제조하였다. 최적의 흡착 및 이온교환능력을 갖는 복합흡착제는 폐경석, 제강슬래그 및 저회의 혼합조성비를 Mixture Analysis 통계법을 통해 도출하였다.

The natural weathered sand of basalt (WSB) has been used for the removal of cadmium from aqueous solution. The influence of various parameters i.e., contact time, pH, weathered sand of basalt dosage, particle size of the weathered sand of basalt, temperature and initial cadmium concentration were analyzed. Cadmium adsorption kinetics was well described by the pseudo second order model. Adsorption equilibrium for cadmium was properly well fitted to Langmuir isotherm model with maximum adsorption capacity 0.50 mg/g. Compared with the other experimental results using various kinds of adsorbents at a low concentration (1.0 mg/L or so) similar to that of this study, the cadmium removal efficiency using weathered sand of basalt was higher. It has been demonstrated that weathered sand of basalt has a available alternative adsorbent for cadmium when its initial concentration is low.

Using the abandoned agricultural by-product corncobs, the most commonly used methylene blue (MB) dyestuffs were removed. This experiment is very meaningful because it is the recycling of resources and the use of environmentally friendly adsorbents. According to the Hauser ratio and porosity analysis, the corncob has a good flow ability of the adsorbent material and many pores, which is very advantageous for MB adsorption. As a result of the experiment, MB concentration of less than 0.005 g/L was very efficiently removed with 10 g/L of bioadsorbent corncob and the maximum adsorption capacity of corncob for MB dyes was obtained at 417.1 mg/g. In addition, adsorption process of MB onto corncob was a physical process according to adsorption energy analysis. Corncob can efficiently and environmentally remove MB in aqueous solution, and is very cost effective and can recycle the abandoned resources.

The brine and seawater are important and largely untapped sources of critical trace metals and elements. The coupling of selective recovery of trace metals from seawater/brine with desalination plants gives an added advantage of energy credits to desalination plants and as well as reduce the cost of desalinated water. In this paper, status review on recovery of important trace metals and other alkali metals from seawater is presented. The potential of Indian desalination plants for recovery of trace metals, based on recovery ratio of 0.35 is also highlighted. Studies carried out by the process based on adsorption using Radiation Induced Grafted (RIG) polymeric adsorbents and then fractional elutions are presented. The fouling factors due to bio fouling and dirt fouling have been estimated for various locations of interest through field trails. The pay loader in the form of compact Contactor Assembly with minimum pressure drop, for loading specially designed radiation grafted sorbent in leaflet form has been briefed, as required for plant scale facility. The typical conceptual process design details of farm assembly of project CRUDE are described.

In this study, silver pre-treated activated carbons are transformed using sulfuric acid. From the results of adsorption, each isotherm shows a distinct knee band, which is characteristic of microporous adsorbents with capillary condensation in micropores. In order to reveal the causes of the differences in adsorption capacity and specific surface area after the samples were washed with various strengths of sulfuric acid, surface morphology and external pore structure were investigated by SEM. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that Ag-activated carbons show better performance for silver and silver compounds removal by post-treatment with acid. The FT-IR spectra of silver-activated carbon samples show that the acid post-treatment was consequently associated with the removal of silver with an increased surface functional group containing oxygen of the activated carbon. The type and quality of oxygen groups are determined on the method proposed by Boehm. For the chemical composition microanalysis of silver-activated carbons transformed by post-treatment with sulfuric acid, samples were analyzed by EDX.

As global warming becomes serious, research is continuously being conducted to reduce CO2 emissions. Among building materials, the carbon emission of cement is so high that it accounts for 6.8% of the carbon emission of the entire industry. Studies replacement of cement with blast furnace slag and fly ash are steadily increasing. In addition, efforts are being made to reduce air pollution due to increased damage caused by increased concentrations of harmful substances such as fine dust and heavy metals in the air. There is an increasing number of studies that enable adsorption by mixing adsorbents into building materials. This study reviewed the strength properties to make an adsorbable non-cement finishing material by mixing tourmaline, an adsorbent, based on the non-cement composite, and confirmed that the strength decreases as the replacement ratio increases.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the change in exposure concentration in the cleaning process after installing a local exhaust system. Methods: Dichloromethane measurement was conducted according to the KOSHA Guide (A-19-2019). Results: After the local exhaust device was installed, a total of three measurements were conducted, including temporary work environment measurements, and all of the measurements did not exceed the DCM exposure standard, but were more than 50% of the DCM Time Weighted Average((8-TWA) Conclusions: It is thought that the local ventilation system of a small business needs not only support for the initial installation cost, but also educational support for maintaining the performance of the local ventilation system and support for consumables (adsorbents, filters, etc.) that incur periodic costs.

본 연구에서는 여러 가지 점토광물의 흡착에 의한 $Al^{3+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, $Pb^{2+}$ 및 $Zn^{2+}$와 같은 중금속 제거특성을 고찰하였다. 흡착제로는 원료 벤토나이트와 본 연구과정에서 제조한 칼슘 및 나트륨형 벤토나이트, 몬모릴로나이트계 광물인 KSF와 K10을 사용하였다. 이들 다섯 가지 점토광물의 조성은 XRF를 이용하여 분석하였으며 중금속의 농도는 ICP를 이용하여 측정하였다. 또한 각 점토광물의 양이온교환능력과 전하량을 측정하여 비교하였다. 실험결과, 흡착평형은 약 $1{\sim}2$시간 후에 도달하였다. $Na^+$ 치환형 벤토나이트는 $Mn^{2+}$을 제외한 모든 중금속에 대하여 최고 98% 이상의 높은 흡착효율을 나타내었으며 $Mn^{2+}$에 대해서는 최고 66%의 흡착효율을 보였다. KSF는 pH가 증가함에 따라 $Al^{3+}$이 용출되는 것으로 나타났지만 $Pb^{2+}$과 $Zn^{2+}$은 산성을 띠고 있는 KSF에 의하여 각각 최고 88%와 59%의 흡착효율을 나타냄으로써 수소이온농도에 크게 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 전반적으로 중금속의 초기 농도가 증가함에 따라 흡착효율은 감소하고 흡착능(흡착용량)은 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. $Na^+$ 치환형 벤토나이트의 중금속 흡착능은 농도에 따라 $1.3{\sim}19$ mg/g 정도의 값을 나타내었다. 흡착제 1 g당 각 중금속들의 흡착량은 $Na^+$ 치환형 벤토나이트$\gg$원료 벤토나이트$\approx$K10>$Ca^{2+}$ 치환형 벤토나이트$\gg$KSF의 순서로 나타났다. 프런들리히 흡착등온선으로부터 K와 1/n값을 계산한 결과, $Na^+$ 치환형 벤토나이트의 K값이 모든 중금속에 대하여 가장 크게 나타났으며 1/n은 $0.2{\sim}0.39$ 범위로 나타나 중금속 흡착에 가장 적합한 점토광물임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 흡착능은 Al>Cu>Pb>Zn>Mn 순으로 나타났다.
