Adsorption characteristics of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) by activated carbon fiber(ACF) were investigated using a continuous system for benzene, toluene, xylene(BTX) generation. Studied characteristics for adsorption were equilibrium capacity, accumulative adsorption, and breakthrough curve. Operating variables were adsorption temperature(25~45$^{\circ}C$) and partial pressure(1.2~12 mmHg) of BTX. The experimental results show that the adsorption equilibrium capacity increases with increasing partial pressure of BTX and decreases with increasing temperature. It was also found that the break point was decreased with increasing partial pressure, temperature and gas flow rate due to an effect of mass transfer of adsorbate.

The use of pine bark, a natural adsorbent prepared from Korean Red Pine (Pinus densifloral), was studied for its adsorption behavior of lead ion from aqueous solution. Adsorption experiments were carried out on lead ion concentrations of 10mg/L. Adsorption of lead ion could be described by both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. Treatment of the bark with nitric acid greatly increased initial adsorption rate, and equilibrium sorption capacity increased by approximately 48%. A pseudo second-order kinetic model fitted well for the kinetic behavior of lead ion adsorption onto the bark. Acid-treated bark demonstrated its adsorption capacity quite close to that of granular activated carbon. Results of this study indicated that ion exchange and chelation were involved in the adsorption process.

술폰산형 섬유이온교환체를 이용하여 도금 폐수 중 니켈 이온 분리를 위해 각각의 조건에 따른 니켈 이온에 대한 흡착 특성을 관찰하였다. 술폰산형 섬유이온교환체의 함수율은 술폰화도 극성이 클수록 크게 나타났으며 이온교환용량은 술폰화도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며 술폰화도 16%에서 3.38 meq/g로 높게 나타났다. 니켈이온의 흡착은 pH 변화에 따라 크게 변화하지 않았고 모든 흡착은 10분 이내에 약 7.5 mg/min의 흡착속도로 매우 빠르게 평형에 도달하였다. 재생 시 흡착용량은 7회까지 3.15 meq/g으로 거의 100% 가까이 탈착되었으며 그 이상에서는 2.01 meq/g으로 약간 감소하는 것으로 보아 본 연구에 사용한 이온교환체는 내구성에 문제가 없는 것으로 판단되었다. 한편 흡착평형 시간은 L/D의 값이 증가함에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였으며, 최대 흡착용량은 각각 2.71∼3.01 meq/g으로 약간 증가하였고 L/D의 변화에 크게 영향이 없는 것으로 보아 L/D<2로 흡착칼럼의 설계가 가능할 것으로 사료되었다. 또한 이온교환 섬유의 충전비가 일정할 때 pH 변화에 따른 니켈 이온의 흡착량은 산성 pH에서는 큰 변화가 없는 것으로 보아 도금수세액의 pH가 산성인 점을 고려할 때 pH 5 이하가 적합한 것으로 판단되었다.

Adsorption experiments of binary mixed gases composed of acetone/methylethylketone (MEK), MEK/benzene, MEK/toluene, and benzene/toluene were carried out on activated carbon fixed-bed. The variations of equilibrium adsorption capacity according to type and fraction of binary gas were investigated. In case of binary gases composed of acetone/MEK and benzene/toluene, equilibrium adsorption capacities of MEK and toluene were increased according to the increase of fraction of MEK and toluene, but equilibrium adsorption capacities of acetone and benzene were decreased. In case of binary gases composed of MEK/benzene and MEK/toluene, equilibrium adsorption capacities of benzene and toluene were increased according to the increase of fraction of benzene and toluene, but equilibrium adsorption capacities of MEK was decreased.

Nitrate removal from aqueous solution was investigated using $ZnCl_2$ and phosphoric acid activated carbon developed from pomegranate peel with particle size 0.4 mm. Potassium nitrate solution was used in batch adsorption experiments for nitrate removal from water. The effects of activated carbon dosage, time of contact, and pH were studied. The equilibrium time was fond to be 45 min. Two theoretical adsorption isotherms namely Langmuir and Freundlich were used to describe the experimental results. The Langmuir fit the isotherm with the theoretical adsorption capacity ($q_t$) was fond 78.125 mg g-1. Adsorption kinetics data were modeled using the pseudo-first, pseudo-second order, and intraparticle diffusion models. The results indicate that the second-order model best describes adsorption kinetic data. Results show activated carbon produced from pomegranate is effective for removal of nitrate from aqueous solution.

The two-step surface modifications of activated carbon was carried out to improve the adsorption capacity of toxic heavy metal ions in liquid phase. Physical and chemical properties of the as-received activated carbon (AC) and two kinds of surface-modified activated carbons ($1^{st}AC$ and $2^{nd}AC$) were evaluated through the BET analysis, surface acidity, and oxides measurements. Specific surface area and pore volume did not significantly change, but surface oxide-group remarkably increased by the surface modification. Equilibrium and batch adsorptions of the various metals, such as Pb, Cd, and Cr, using AC, $1^{st}AC$, and $2^{nd}AC$ were performed at initial pH 5. The adsorption capacity and rate of $2^{nd}AC$ were higher than those of AC and $1^{st}AC$. The carboxylic/sodium carboxylate complex groups were developed from the two-step surface modification of activated carbon, which strongly affected the adsorption of metal ions.

연속식 흡착장치를 사용하여 활성탄의 세공구조와 아세톤 중기의 흡착특성과의 상관관계를 고찰하였다. 실험에서 비교한 활성탄 중 젠체 세공구조에서 직경 $10{\AA}$ 이하의 세공이 가장 많이 발달한 Takeda의 ACT 활성탄이 가장 긴 파과시간을 가지고 있었다. 평형흡착량은 파과시간에는 비례했지만, BET 비표면적에는 비례한다고 볼 수 없었기 때문에 BET 비표면적 만으로 흡착능을 평가하는 것은 어려웠다. 누적표면적과 평형흡착량과의 상관관계는 $10{\AA}$ 이하에서 가장 컸고, 세공범위가 클수록 감소했다.

Food compost, having a higher organic contents than soil, could be an alternative material to prevent the proliferation of heavy metals contamination in soil. In this study we used a convection-dispersion local equilibrium sorption model(CDE) and a two-site non-equilibrium sorption model to find the effects on the adsorption and transportation of Pb by mixing food compost with soil and we also tried to find the effect of velocity and concentration of the injected solution on the characteristics of Pb. We measured Pb concentrations in injection-liquid and in effluent, and then applied them to CXTFIT program. As a result of column experiments, some parameters(D, R, ${\beta}$, ${\omega}$) used in two-site non-equilibrium adsorption model were obtained. Characteristics of Pb adsorption and transport were analyzed using the parameters(D, R, ${\beta}$, ${\omega}$) obtained from the CXTFIT program, We could know that mixed soil with food compost showed a higher adsorption capacity from the retardation factor(R) calculated from the breakthrough curve(BTCs) of Pb. Rs of soil and mixed soil are 20.45, 37.45 respectively, indicating that the adsorption and the transportation characteristics could be accessed quantitatively by using of two-site non-equilibrium adsorption model.

The adsorption performance of cupper and zinc ions($Cu^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$) in aqueous solution was investigated by an adsorption process on reagent grade Na-A zeolite(Z-WK) and Na-A zeolite (Z-C1) prepared from coal fly ash. Z-C1 was synthesized by a fusion method with coal fly ash from a thermal power plant. Batch adsorption experiment with Z-C1 was employed to study the kinetics and equilibrium parameters such as initial metal ions concentration and adsorption time of the solution on the adsorption process. Adsorption rate of metal ions occurred rapidly and adsorption equilibrium reached at less than 120 minutes. The kinetics data of $Cu^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ ions were well fitted by a pseudo-second-order kinetics model more than a pseudo-first-order kinetics model. The equilibrium data were well fitted by a Langmuir model and this result showed $Cu^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ adsorption on Z-C1 would be occupied by a monolayer adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity($q_{max}$) by the Langmuir model was determined as $Cu^{2+}$ 99.8 mg/g and $Zn^{2+}$ 108.3 mg/g, respectively. It appeared that the synthetic zeolite, Z-C1, has potential application as absorbents in metal ion recovery and mining wastewater.

초임계 조건에서 제조된 망간산화물이 코팅된 활성탄($Mn_3O_4$/AC)에 의한 납 흡착특성을 규명하기 위해 칼럼실험을 통해 파과특성에 미치는 운전변수의 영향에 관해 실험하였다. 활성탄에 망간산화물을 코팅시킴으로써 물질전달대와 평형흡착량은 대략 2.8배 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 흡착층 높이의 증가는 수용액이 흡착대에 체류하는 시간을 증가시켜 파과시간, 물질전달대와 평형흡착량을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 칼럼으로 공급되는 유량이 증가함에 따라 수용액으로부터 흡착제로 납이 빠르게 전달되어 접촉되므로 파과시간과 물질전달대가 감소하였다. 유량 증가는 흡착대에서 납의 체류시간을 감소시켜 흡착경계면에서의 확산현상을 감소시키므로 평형흡착량을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 칼럼으로 유입되는 납 농도가 증가하면 흡착제로 전달되는 납의 양이 증가하여 물질전달이 빠르게 완료되므로 파과시간과 물질전달대가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.
