Adsorption of alkali metals (Li, Na, and K) on the surface of magnesium oxide nanotubes (MgONTs) with different diameters was investigated using density functional theory. According to the obtained results, the most stable adsorption site was found to be atop the oxygen atom of the tube surface with adsorption energies in the range of -0.25 to -0.74 eV. HOMO-LUMO gap ($E_g$) of the tubes dramatically decreases upon the adsorption of the alkali metals, resulting in enhancement of their electrical conductivity enhancement. The order of $E_g$ decrement caused by the metal adsorption is as follows: K > Na > Li. The results suggest that the MgONTs were transformed from semi-insulator to semiconductor upon the alkali metal adsorption. Increasing the tube diameter, the HOMO/LUMO gap of the pristine tube is enhanced and adsorption energies of the alkali metals are decreased.

Carbon based sorbents for $CO_2$ adsorption were prepared by impregnation with alkali metals ($Li^+$, $K^+$) and alkaline earth metals ($Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$). BET surface area of test sorbents was lower than the intrinsic activated carbon. In particular, impregnation of $Ca^{2+}$ or $Mg^{2+}$ resulted in lower surface area of specific adsorption sites than that of $Li^+$ or $K^+$. While the adsorption capacity for $CO_2$ was high in the sorbents containing $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$, strong interaction with $CO_2$ would cause to drop the capacity after regeneration. The adsorption was found high relatively in the flow with a high concentration of $CO_2$ and in a low flow rate. The adsorption isotherm for the present modified AC sorbents fits well with the Freundlich model.

In this study, $CO_2$ adsorbent was produced for minimizing energy loss due to ventilation within the building. For improved selectivity about low concentration of $CO_2$ in multiple-use facilities, the ball type adsorbent was modified from a commercial zeolite, alumina, alkali metals and activated carbon with mixing LiOH, binder, and $H_2O$. We measured specific surface area, pore characteristic, and crystal structure of the modified adsorbent. Effects of alkalization on the absorptive properties of the adsorbents were investigated. Continuous column tests (2,000 ppm) and batch chamber tests ($4m^3$, 5,000ppm) showed that the modified adsorbent indicated about the selectivity of $CO_2$ more than 9.7% (0.613 mmol/g) compared with ordinary adsorbents and $CO_2$ removal efficiency of 88.8% within l hour, respectively. It was estimated that the modified adsorbent was applicable to indoor environments.

The effects of adsorption and desorption of alkali-metals on Si(111) surface were investigated by using AES and RHEED-system. The adsorption system is a fundamental interest because of its unique electronic properties such as measurement of work function change, adatom-core level shift. It was found that the growth node of K on Si(111) surface was layer by layer growth and the saturation coverage was 2.0ML at room temperature. Superstructure changes on Si(111) surface according to the alkali-metal thickness and substrate temperatures were accurately defined. By applying the isothermal desorption method, the desorption energies of Li/Si(111) and K/Si(111) surfaces was measured. On Li/Si(111) and K/Si(111) surfaces, the desorption energies were 3.07 eV, 2.19 eV respectively.

A batch experiment was conducted to evaluate the removal capacity of welsh onion(Allium fistulosum L.), shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.), garlic (Allium sativum L.) roots as an adsorbent for Ni and Pb in aqueous solution. One gram of the dried Allium root powder was reacted in 100ml of solution containing 10mg of each heavy metal and effects of metal concentration, pH, temperature, and size of adsorbent on the removal efficiency were evaluated. The results were as follows ; The amount of adsorption of heavy metal ions were higher with the smaller particles size of adsorbent. Garlic root was high adsorption capacity of Pb, especially. The higher concentration of heavy metal solution was, the more amount of adsorption of heavy metals was. The adsorption ratio was differed from a kind of heavy metal. As the temperature increased, the amount of adsorption of Ni and Pb by shallot and welsh onion were decreased. The amount of adsorption of Ni was high under alkali conditions but the amount of adsorption of Pb was high under neutral and acidity condition.

Electrochemical studies of alkali metal cations $(Na^+, K^+, Rb^+, Cs^+)$ were performed in methanolic solutions of 18-crown-6 and tetrabutylammonium salts at dropping mercury electrodes (DME) and thin mercury film electrodes (TMFE). All the cations investigated were reduced reversibly at DME in the absence and presence of 18-crown-6, and in the latter the limiting currents were decreased and the reduction potentials shifted to the negative direction. The reduction potentials of the metal ions (0.2 mM) in the presence of the crown (10 mM) were - 2.14 $(Na^+)$, - 2.26 $(K^+)$, - 2.20 $(Rb^+) and - 2.14 $(Cs^+)$ V vs. SCE, respectively. The measured potentials were rationalized with ion recognition of the cations by the crown. Electroreduction at TMFE were highly irreversible. A new representation method of ion recognition is presented. In aqueous solutions, electroreduction of the alkali metal ions were characterized by adsorption.

Kjeldahl 법에 의한 질소함량의 분석 및 원소분석에 의해 최적반응조건과 치환율을 구하였고, 이들 수지의 구조는 적외선흡수스펙트럼으로 확인하였다. 낮은 치환도를 가지며 물에 불용인 carboxymethyl chitin은 알칼리 토금속이온들 중 $Ca^{2+}$ 이온에 대하여 가장 높은 선택적 흡착능을 나타내었으며, 이러한 성질은 $KNO_3$나 $NaNO_3$와 같은 중성염이 존재할 때에도 마찬가지였다. Carboxymethyl chitin에 결합된 $Mg^{2+}$ 이온은 $Ca^{2+}$이온이 있는 곳에서 방출되며, 이러한 $Ca^{2+}$및 $Mg^{2+}$ 이온 혼합계를 이용하였다. 합성된 흡착담체는 $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Sr^{2+}$, $Ba^{2+}$ 등의 금속이온들과의 흡착특성을 검토하였고, 나아가 $Na^+$, $K^+$등 공통양이온 존재하에서 특정금속이온의 선택적 흡착능을 atomic absorption spectrometer로 정량, 확인하였다.

Adsorption of alkali metals on a silicon surface has attracted much attention due to its importance in metal-semiconductor interface technology, In particular, the bonding nature of alkali metal to silicon substrate has been a focus of fundamental research efforts. We examined the adsorbed layer of Cs on a Si(111)-(7$\times$) surface by reactive ion scattering (RIS) of hyperthermal Cs+ beams. RIS from a Cs-adsorbed surface gives rise to Cs, representing pickup of surface Cs by Cs projectile. The Cs intensity is proportional to surface coverage of Cs at a high substrate temperature (473 K), while it varies anomalously with Cs coverage at low temperatures (130-170 K). This observation indicates that RIS selectively detects metallic Cs on surface, but discriminates ionic Cs. Transition from ionic to metallic Cs adlayer is driven by thermal diffusion of Cs and their clustering process.

The present study has evaluated the $CO_2$ adsorption amount of activated carbon pellets (AC). Coconut shell based test AC were modified with surface impregnation of glycine, glycine metal salts and monoethanolamine for low level $CO_2$ (3000 ppm) adsorption. Physical and chemical properties of prepared adsorbents were analyzed and the adsorbed amount of $CO_2$ was investigated by using pure and 3,000 ppm $CO_2$ levels. The impregnation of nitrogen functionalities was verified by XPS analysis. The adsorption capacity for pure $CO_2$ gas was found to reach upto 3.08 mmol/g by AC-LiG (Activated carbon-Lithium glycinate), which has the largest specific surface area ($1026.9m^2/g$). As for low level $CO_2$ flow the primary amine impregnated adsorbent showed 0.26 mmol/g of adsorption amount, indicating the highest selectivity. An adsorbent with potassium-glycine salts (AC-KG, Activated carbon-Potassium glycinate) instead of amine presented with 0.12 mmol/g of adsorption capacity, which was higher than that of raw activated carbon granules (0.016 mmol/g).
