Adsorption equilibrium and kinetic behavior of two toxic heavy metals hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] and mercury [Hg(II)] on mustard oil cake (MOC) was studied. Isotherm of total chromium was of concave type (S1 type) suggesting cooperative adsorption. Total chromium adsorption followed BET isotherm model. Isotherm of Hg(II) was of L3 type with monolayer followed by multilayer formation due to blockage of pores of MOC at lower concentration of Hg(II). Combined BET-Langmuir and BET-Freundlich models were appropriate to predict Hg(II) adsorption data on MOC. Boyd's model confirmed that external mass transfer was rate limiting step for both total chromium and Hg(II) adsorptions with average diffusivity of $1.09{\times}10^{-16}$ and $0.97m^2/sec$, respectively. Desorption was more than 60% with Hg(II), but poor with chromium. The optimum pH for adsorptions of total chromium and Hg(II) were 2-3 and 5, respectively. At strong acidic pH, Cr(VI) was adsorbed by ion exchange mechanism and after adsorption reduced to Cr(III) and remained on MOC surface. Hg(II) removal was achieved by complexation of $HgCl_2$ with deprotonated amine ($-NH_2$) and carboxyl (COO-) groups of MOC.

This study examined the adsorption of a synthetic cutting fluid and cutting fluid effluent on chitosan and SDS-modified chitosan, Chitosan and SDS-modified chitosan were prepared in form of beads and fibers. A series of batch experiments were carried out as a function of the initial concentration of cutting fluid, contact time and pH of the fluid. The contact angle study suggested that the SDS-modified chitosan was more hydrophobic than chitosan. The Zeta potential study showed that chitosan, SDS-modified chitosan and synthetic cutting fluid had a point of zero charge (PZC) at pH 7.8, 9 and 3.2, respectively. SDS-modified chitosan has a greater adsorption capacity than chitosan. The experimental results show that adsorption capacity of the cutting fluid on 1.0 g of SDS-modified chitosan at pH 3 and for a contact time of 120 min was approximately 2,500 g/kg. The adsorption capacity of chitosan and SDS-modified chitosan increased with decreasing pH. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Brunauer Emmett and Teller (BET) adsorption models were used to explain the adsorption isotherm. The Langmuir isotherm fitted well with the experimental data of chitosan while the BET isotherm fitted well with the SDS-modified chitosan data. Pseudo first- and second-order kinetic models and intraparticle diffusion model were used to examine the kinetic data. The experimental data was fitted well to a pseudo second-order kinetic model. The significant uptake of cutting fluid on chitosan and SDS-modified chitosan were demonstrated by FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM and heat of combustion.

A POM-membrane was fabricated by immobilizing a keggin type polyoxometalate (POM) H5PV2Mo10O40 onto the surface of microporous flat-sheet polymeric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVFD) membrane using a chemical deposition method. The POM-membrane was characterized by FT-IR, SEM and EDX to confirm existing of the POM onto the membrane surface. The POM-membrane was used to remove an anionic textile dye (Reactive Black 5 named as an RB5) from aqueous phases with a cross-flow membrane filtration and a batch adsorption system. The dye removal efficiency of the POM-membrane using the cross-flow membrane filtration system and the batch adsorption system was about 88% and 98%, respectively. The influence factors such as contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH, and initial dye concentration were investigated to understand the adsorption mechanism of the RB5 dye onto the POM-membrane. To find the best fitting isotherm model, Langmuir, Freundlich, BET and Harkins-Jura isotherm models were used to analyze the experimental data. The isotherm analysis showed that the Langmuir isotherm model was found to the best fit for the adsorption data (R2 = 0.9982, qmax = 24.87 mg/g). Also, adsorption kinetic models showed the pseudo second order kinetic model was found the best model to fit the experimental data (R2 = 0.9989, q = 8.29 mg/g, C0 = 15 ppm). Moreover, after four times regeneration with HNO3 acid, the POM-membrane showed high regenerability without losing dye adsorption capacity.

본 연구는 흡착 능이 서로 다른 두 가지 활성탄을 혼합하여 최적의 흡착 능을 발휘코자 혼합할 때 그들의 최적혼합비를 구하는 방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 활성탄의 세공특성과 흡착 능은 BET-분석에 의해 얻어지는 흡착등온곡선으로 판별하며 이는 역시 흡착필터설계의 기본적 정보를 제공한다. 따라서 고도의 BET-model의 흡착 능을 보이는 석탄 계활성탄과 낮은 Langmuir-model을 보이는 야자각계 활성탄의 혼합하는 extreme case와, 고, 저 비표면적을 가진 두 가지 활성탄을 혼합하는 middle case 및 전, 후 case의 상호 교차 배합하는 cross case 등, 3가지 시험을 수행했으며, 이를 위해 시판 품 외에 국내 한 공인 연구소가 연구용시료로서 제공한 고비표면적의 두 가지 활성탄에도 적용하여 본 방법의 타당성을 확인하였다.

활성탄을 사용하여 수용액으로부터 메틸 그린 염료의 흡착에 대해 초기농도와 접촉시간 및 온도를 흡착변수로 사용하여 조사하였다. 흡착평형관계는 Freundlich 등온식에 잘 맞았다. 평가된 Freundlich 분리계수(1/n = 0.212~0.305)로부터 이 흡착공정이 효과적인 처리영역(0 < $R_L$ < 1)에 속하는 것을 알았다. BET식으로부터 얻은 등온포화용량은 온도가 증가할수록 커졌다. Dubinin-Radushkevich식으로 구한 흡착에너지값(E = 316.869~340.049 J/mol)으로부터 흡착공정이 물리흡착공정임을 알았다. 흡착속도실험결과는 유사 2차 반응속도식에 잘 맞는 것으로 나타났다. 자유에너지(-5.421~-7.889 kJ/mol)와 엔탈피(31.915 kJ/mol)는 흡착공정이 자발적이고 흡열반응으로 진행되었다고 알려주었다. 등량흡착열은 평형흡착량이 증가함에 따라 커졌으며, 표면 덮임이 증가됨에 따라 흡착제-흡착질의 총 상호작용도 증가하였다.

In this study, the removal of Ciprofloxacin (CPX) from aqueous solutions was investigated by a new activated carbon adsorbent prepared from orange peel (ACOP) with chemical activation using ZnCl₂. The physicochemical properties of orange peel activated carbon were characterized by proximate and ultimate analysis, scanning electron microscopy, BET surface area determination and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopic studies. According to Brunauer-Emmett-Teller isotherm and non-local-density functional theory, the cumulative surface area, pore volume and pore size of ACOP were determined as 1193 m² g^-1, 0.83 cc g^-1 and 12.7 Å, respectively. The effects of contact time, pH, temperature and ACOP dose on the batch adsorption of CPX were studied. Adsorption equilibrium data of CPX with ACOP were found to be compatible with both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. CPX adsorption capacity of ACOP was calculated as 181.8 mg g^-1 using Langmuir isotherm. The CPX adsorption kinetics were found to be harmonious with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Conclusively, ACOP can be assessable as an effective adsorbent for the removal of ciprofloxacin (CPX) from aqueous solutions.

In this work, α-Fe₂O₃ nanocrystals are synthesized by co-precipitation method and used as adsorbent to remove Cr⁶⁺, Cd²⁺, and Pb²⁺ from wastewater at room temperature. The prepared sample is evaluated by XRD, BET surface area, and FESEM for structural and morphological characteristics. XRD patterns confirm the formation of a pure hematite structure of average particle size of ~ 40 nm, which is further supported by the FESEM images of the nanocrystals. The nanocrystals are found to have BET specific surface area of ~ 39.18 m² g^-1. Adsorption experiments are carried out for the different values of pH of the solutions, contact time, and initial concentration of metal ions. High efficiency Cr⁶⁺, Cd²⁺, and Pb²⁺ removal occur at pH 3, 7, and 5.5, respectively. Equilibrium study reveals that the heavy metal ion adsorption of the α-Fe₂O₃ nanocrystals followed Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The Cr⁶⁺, Cd²⁺, and Pb²⁺ adsorption equilibrium data are best fitted to the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacities of α-Fe₂O₃ nanocrystals related to Cr⁶⁺, Cd²⁺, and Pb²⁺ are found to be 15.15, 11.63, and 20 mg g^-1, respectively. These results clearly suggest that the synthesized α-Fe₂O₃ nanocrystals can be considered as potential nano-adsorbents for future environmental and health related applications.

자동차 폐타이어 분말(WTP)을 질소분위기 하에서 2시간 동안 $400^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 열처리하여 탄소질 흡착제(CA-WTP)로 만들고, 이들에 대한 열 중량 분석, 에너지 변환 X-선 분석, 주사전자 현미경, 비표면적 측정, 적외선 분광기들을 통해 특성을 파악한 후, 수중의 Cd의 제거를 위한 흡착제로서 시험하였다. 열처리한 CA-WTP는 WTP보다도 매우 높은 비표면적과 총 세공부피 그리고 Cd에 대해 높은 흡착효율을 나타내었다. 흡착의 평형 데이터는 Freundlich와 Langmuir 흡착 등온선 모델을 이용하여 평가하였고, 위 두 흡착 등온선 모두 0.95보다 큰 상관계수($R^2$) 값을 나타내었다. 연구의 결과는 열처리 한 폐타이어 분말(CA-WTP)이 수중으로부터 Cd을 흡착하는데 효율적인 흡착제로 사용될 수 있다는 것을 보였다.
