Granular activated carbon is commonly used in fixed-bed adsorbers to remove organic chemicals. In this experiment organic chemical solutions were prepared by adding the reagent grade organic chemical to distilled water. Isotherm adsorption tests of volatile organic chemicals were conducted using bottle-point technique and column test. Organic chemicals after passing through the column were extracted with hexane and analyzed with gas chromatography (Hewlett-Packard 5890) to check the adsorption capacity and breakthrough curve. The result were as follows: 1. The BET surface area of coconut activated carbon was 658~1,010 m$^2$/g where as coconut shell carbon was 6.6 m$^2$/g. Coconut activated carbon increased the BET surface area and adsorption capacity in bottle-point isotherm. 2. The adsorption capacity of coconut activated carbon for trichloroethylene (TCE) was reduced in the presence of humic substance. 3. A decrease in particle size of activated carbon resulted in higher adsorption capacity and lower intraparticle diffusion coefficient. It is reflected not only as a decrease in Freudlich adsorption capacity value (K) but also as an increase in Freudlich exponenent value (1/n).

Well-ordered mesoporous SiCBN ceramics have been successfully synthesized by infiltrating a polymeric precursor, which was prepared from borazine and 2,4,6-trimethyl-2,4,6-trivinylcyclotrisilazane via a hydroboration reaction, into a mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) as a hard template. This was followed by pyrolysis at $1400^{\circ}C$ under nitrogen gas and subsequent oxidative removal of the carbon template without chemical etching. The prepared mesoporous SiCBN ceramic was characterized by a small-angle XRD, TEM, and BET surface area. The resulting mesoporous SiCBN ceramic revealed a BET surface area of $275 m^2g^{-1}$ and a pore volume of $0.8 cm^3 g$ with no crystallization.

Surface modified carbon felts were utilized as an electrode for the removal of inorganic ions from seawater. The surfaces of the carbon felts were chemically modified by alkaline and acidic solutions, respectively. The potassium hydroxide (KOH) modified carbon felt exhibited high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface areas and large pore volume, and oxygen-containing functional groups were increased during KOH chemical modification. However, the BET surface area significantly decreased by nitric acid ($HNO_3$) chemical modification due to severe chemical dissolution of the pore structure. The capability of electrosorption by an electrical double-layer and the efficiency of capacitive deionization (CDI) thus showed the greatest enhancement by chemical KOH modification due to the appropriate increase of carboxyl and hydroxyl functional groups and the enlargement of the specific surface area.

버네사이트를 25, 40, 60과 $80^{\circ}C$ 각각에서 합성하였다. 이들 각 시료에 대해 X-선회절분석을 실시한 결과 합성 온도가 $25^{\circ}C$에서 $60^{\circ}C$까지 증가 시 X-선회절분석의 피크의 강도가 강해지는 반면 $80^{\circ}C$에서는 오히려 피크의 강도가 약해지는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 $60^{\circ}C$에서 합성된 버네사이트의 결정도가 상대적으로 가장 높다는 것을 의미한다. 그러나 60과 $80^{\circ}C$에서 합성된 버네사이트의 BET 비표면적은 39.4에서 89.7 $m^2/g$로 증가한다. SEM 분석 결과 $25^{\circ}C$에서 합성된 버네사이트의 경우 2~500 nm 크기의 구형으로 나타난 반면 합성 온도가 증가함에 따라 판상의 버네사이트가 관찰되었다. 뿐만 아니라, $80^{\circ}C$에서 합성된 버네사이트의 경우 $60^{\circ}C$에서 합성된 버네사이트와는 달리 판상의 결정에 많은 다공성을 띠고 있다. 따라서 $80^{\circ}C$에서 합성된 버네사이트의 BET 비표면적 증가는 합성된 버네사이트 결정 내 다공성증가에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 합성된 버네사이트의 결정성, 형성 등과 같은 다양한 이화학적 특성은 온도와 같은 영향인자에 의해 매우 민감하게 변화함을 보여주고 있다.

We intended to make the activated carbon fibers which could separate, remove and recover the volatile organic compounds of benzene, toluene, acetone and methanol. Changing activation temperature and time, large specific surface area and narrow pore distribution could be obtained. The activated carbon fibers have large adsorption capacity and selectivility for those organic compounds. We characterized the adsorption capability of the activated carbon fibers for benzene, toluene, acetone and methanol by BET specific surface area and pore size and micropore volume measurements. In the result of activation, the maximum value of BET specific surface area of the fibers was $1100\m^2$/g at $800^{\circ}C$ for 60 minutes and $K_2$O was reduced actively in this condition. Their average pore size was 5.8~5.9$\AA$. The activated carbon fibers prepared in this work had high adsorption rate to saturation and the selectibility for the above organic compounds. The adsorbed amount of acetone and methanol(diameter of$ 4.3\AA$ and $4.4\AA$ respectively) which are smaller than micropore diameter in size was 43~49%, which was larger value than benzene and toluene(in the same diameter as $5.9\AA$).

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) supports and amine additives were investigated to adsorb $CO_2$. PMMA supports were fabricated by using different ratio of pore forming agents (porogen) to control the BET specific surface area, pore volume and distribution. Toluene and xylene are used for porogens. Supported amine sorbents were prepared by wet impregnation of tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) on PMMA supports. So we could identify the effect of the pore structure of supports and the quantity of impregnated TEPA on the adsorption capacity. The increased amount of toluene as pore foaming agent resulted in the decreased average pore diameter and the increased BET surface area. Polymer supports with huge different pore distribution could be fabricated by controlling the ratio of porogen. After impregnation, the support with micropore structure is supposed the pore blocking and filling effect so that it has low $CO_2$ capacity and kinetics due to the difficulty of diffusing. Macropore structure indicates fast adsorption capacity and low influence of amine loading. In case of support with mesopore, it has high performance of adsorption capacity and kinetics. So high surface area and meso-/macro- pore structure is suitable for $CO_2$ capture.

본 연구에서는 실리카의 표면처리를 위해 실란 커플링제인, ${\gamma}$-methacryloxy propyl trimethoxy silane (MPS), ${\gamma}$-glycidoxy propyl trimethoxy silane (GPS), and ${\gamma}$-mercapto propyl trimethoxy silane (MCPS) 등을 사용하여 실리카 흡착특성과 기계적 계면물성에 대하여 고착하였다. 실란처리에 따른 실리카의 평형 확산압력, 표면 자유에너지, 비표면적을 BET법을 이용한 $N_2$/77 K 기체 흡착을 통하여 알아보았다. 본 실험결과 신란처리에 의해 실리카 표면에 도입된 비극성 관능기로 인해 실리카의 비표면적, 평형 확산압력, 표면 자유에너지의 비극성 요소가 증가하였으며 결과적으로 실리카/고무 복합재료의 기계적 계면 물성인 tearing energy ($G_{mc}$)가 향상되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 MPS로 표면처리한 경우가 GPS, MCPS에 비해서 우수한 기계적 계면물성을 나타남을 관찰할 수 있었다.

A series of activated carbons were prepared from coconut shells and coal-tar pitch binder by physical activation with steam in this study. The effect of variable processes such as activation temperature, activation time and ratio of mixing was investigated for optimizing those preparation parameters. The activation processes were carried out continuously. The nitrogen adsorption isotherms at 77 K on pellet-shaped activated carbons show the same trend of Type I by IUPAC classification. The average pore sizes were about 19-21${\AA}$. The specific surface areas ($S_{BET}$) of pellet typed ACs increased with increasing the activation temperature and time. Specific surface area of AC treated for 90 min at temperature $900^{\circ}C$ was 1082 $m^2/g$. The methylene blue numbers continuously increased with increasing the activation temperature and time. On the other hand, iodine numbers highly increased till activation time of 60 min, but the rate of increase of iodine numbers decreased after that time. This indicates that new micropores were created and the existing micropores turned into mesopores and macropores because of increased reactivity of carbon surface and $H_2O$.
