The effects of the cation-to-anion resin ratio and bed depth on ion exchange performance of mixed-bed were studied at ultralow solution concentration. Breakthrough curves were experimentally obtained for NaCI solution as functions of resin ratio and bed depth. The bed depth affects the pattern of the sodium breakthrough curve but not the chloride breakthrough curve in beds because of the selectivity difference. Resin selectivity determines the shape of breakthrough curves, Some sodium and chloride breakthrough curves crossed at a point as a function of resin ratio. The lower cation-to-anion resin ratio showed the higher effluent concentration or treated volume of the crossover point regardless of the total resin weight.

Breakthrough curves for separation of cesium and strontium binary components from aqueous solutions in fixed bed by chabazite and 13X were experimentally obtained and simulated the breakthrough curves for binary component adsorption. It is shown that agreements between model predictions and experimental data are relatively good although some deviations are observed. From engineering point of view, the simple model used here can be applied to simulate adsorption breakthrough curves satisfactorily.

Adsorption and desorption characteristics of the representative 10 kinds components consisting of gasoline vapor on activated carbon were investigated at the temperature range of $-30^{\circ}C{\sim}25^{\circ}C$. The breakthrough curves of each vapors obtained by the Thomas model were well described the breakthrough experimental results of this study. The breakthrough times of each vapors were correlated with the molecular weight, density, and vapor pressure. The breakthrough times had greater correlation with boiling point than molecular weight and density. The slope of the breakthrough curve was a proportional relationship with the rate constant (k) of Thomas model expression. The higher the slope of the breakthrough curve, the rate constant was larger. The biggest slope vapor had the smallest adsorption capacity ($q_e$). Adsorption and desorption characteristics of mixed vapor similar to the gasoline vapor were studied at room temperature ($25^{\circ}C$). The mixed vapor consisting of 9 components; group A (pentane, hexene, hexane), group B (benzene, toluene), group C (octane, ethylbenzene, xylene, nonane) was examined. Group A was not nearly adsorbed because of substitution by group C, and the desorption capacity of group A was smaller than group C. The adsorbed substances were confirmed to be Group C.

This study was designed to investigate effects of relative humidity on the breakthrough of charcoal tubes at a fixed vapor concentration and sampling time during mixed organic vapor sampling. A vapor generator was used to generate three different concentrations of mixed organic vapor and a stainless steel chamber was fabricated and utilized to maintain three different percentages of relative humidity while maintaining a constant temperature. The results were as follows; 1. At high relative humidity, breakthrough of mixed organic vapor occurred quickly at low vapor concentration than at high vapor concentration because of the reduced adsorption volume of charcoal tube due to humidity. 2. Breakthrough by competitive adsorption of vapors onto charcoal tube was observed at first from n-hexane having the lowest boiling point and highest vapor pressure among the three organic vapors investigated, followed by TCE. No breakthrough was observed from toluene under all experimental conditions. 3. For n-hexane, breakthrough was observed after 2 hours of sampling and breakthrough rates were increased as relative humidity increased. For TCE, breakthrough was found after 3 hours of sampling and breakthrough rates by sampling time were increased as vapor concentration increased. 4. The adsorbed amount of mixed organic vapor at breakthrough was shown to have statistically significant correlations with sampling time, relative humidity, and vapor concentration in descending order of correlation. Relative humidity and sampling time for n-hexane and sampling time and concentration for TCE were both statistically significantly correlated. 5. Relative humidity was found to affect the amount of breakthrough of mixed organic vapor and n-hexane. Among three percentages of relative humidity investigated, the amount of breakthrough at 85 % relative humidity was significantly larger than those of at lower percentages of relative humidity. No statistically significant difference was found between 25 % and 55 % relative humidity. 6. The results of multiple regression analysis between breakthrough and relative humidity, vapor concentrations showed that the coefficient of determination of mixed organic vapor was 0.263 and those of n-hexane and TCE were 0.275 and 0.189, respectively. 7. Flow rates of sampling pumps used were found to be affected by relative humidity present. At 25 %, 55 %, and 85 % relative humidity, the relative errors of sampling pump were 1.4 %, 13.4 %, and 18.6 %, respectively. In conclusion, the results of this study showed that high relative humidity could reduce the adsorption volume of charcoal tubes and subsequently increase breakthrough rates. Therefore, to prevent breakthrough when sampling mixed organic vapors, it is suggested that either sampling volume be reduced on the flow rate be lowered so as to minimize breakthrough of the most volatile organic vapor in the mixture. In addition, since the flow rates of a sampling pump can be adversely affected by high relative humidity, it is recommended to use a constant flow mode pump when sampling in the highly humid environment.

본 연구에서는 상용활성탄 4가지를 사용하여 산업공정에서 사용빈도가 높은 톨루엔, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), ethyl acetate (EA), 3성분계를 대상으로 흡착특성을 고찰하였다. 고찰결과 3가지 휘발성 유기화합물 중 활성탄과 가장 친화력이 낮은 IPA의 파과점이 가장 짧았으며 다음으로 EA, 톨루엔 순으로 파과점이 길어지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 가장 파과점이 짧은 IPA를 기준으로 단일성분, 2성분, 3성분계의 파과점 변화를 고찰한 결과 성분 수가 많아질수록 파과점이 낮아지는 것을 알 수 있었으며 이는 친화력이 낮은 물질이 친화력이 높은 물질에 의해 치환되는 경쟁흡착에 의한 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 톨루엔-IPA-EA 3성분계 흡착에서는 IPA의 파과를 기준으로 흡착탑을 설계하여야 하며 실제 산업체에서 흡착탑을 설계하는 기준도 가장 친화력이 낮은 물질을 기준으로 하여야 함을 알 수 있었다.

This study was conducted to know the removal characteristics of ammonia nitrogen by commercially available cation exchange resins. Eight acidic cation exchange resins were investigated in batch reactors. Among them, the most effective resin for ammonia removal in solution was PK228, which was a strong acidic resin of $Na^{+}$ type. PK228 was compared with activated carbon and natural zeolite. The effects of cation exchange capacity, ammonia concentration, resin amount, temperature and pH on ammonia removal by PK228 were investigated in batch reactor, and the effect of effluent velocity in continuous column reactor. Strong acidic resins of porous type were more effective than week acidic resins or gel type resins for ammonia removal in solution. PK228 was more effective than activated carbon and natural zeolite for ammonia removal in batch reactor. With increasing initial ammonia concentration, the amount of ammonia removed by PK228 increased, but the proportion of removed ammonia to initial ammonia concentration decreased. The effect or temperature on ammonia removal by PK228 was very slight. The ammonia removal to acidic solution was more effective than that at basic solution. With decreasing effluent velocity of solution through column, breakthrough point extended, and ammonia removal capacity increased.d.

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.

Cd과 Cr(VI)으로 동시에 오염된 지하수 정화에 반응벽체 공법을 적용하기 위하여 환원능과 흡착능을 동시에 가지는 새로운 반응 물질인 Fe-loaded zeolite의 반응성을 실내 주상실험을 통해 평가하였다. Cd과 Cr(VI)을 동시에 포함한 오염용액을 반응물질이 충진된 칼럼에 주입하고, 이 칼럼을 통과한 유출수에서의 Cd과 Cr(VI) 농도를 측정하여 파과곡선을 얻는 방법으로 본 주상실험을 수행하였다. 유출수의 농도 분석 결과 Cd의 파과는 Cr(VI)의 파과곡선이 완료되는 시점까지 전혀 관찰되지 않아, 반응물질의 전반적인 효율은 Cr(VI)에 대한 반응성에 의해 결정됨을 알 수 있었다. Cr(VI)의 파과곡선은 파과 시작점이 다소 지체되고 파과의 진행 속도도 느려지며 파괴곡선의 상대농도 값이 1까지 증가하는 양상을 나타내었다. 이러한 Cr(VI) 파과곡선의 양상을 정량적으로 묘사하기 위하여 형상계수라고 하는 새로운 계수 ${\alpha}$와 ${\beta}$를 정의하고, 이를 오염물질의 이동방정식에 적용함으로써 파과곡선의 지체 정도와 기울기 정도를 나타내었다. 초기 주입 용액의 농도가 증가할수록 ${\alpha}$값은 감소하였고, 이로부터 파과곡선의 시작 시점이 빨라 지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 초기 주입 용액의 속도가 증가할수록 ${\beta}$ 값이 감소하였으며, 이로부터 파과곡선의 기울기가 점차 가팔라지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이를 통해 Fe-loaded zeolite를 반응벽체 내 반응물질로 적용할 경우, Fe-loaded zeolite는 지하수 상에 존재하는 서로 다른 이온 형태의 중금속인 Cd과 Cr(VI)을 효과적으로 동시에 제거할 수 있음을 획인하였으며 이때, Fe-loaded zeolite를 통한 Cr(VI)의 파과는 지하수 흐름이 빠를수록 파과의 진행이 더욱 급격히 나타날 것이며 오염농도가 높은 지하수일수록 파과의 시점이 빠르게 나타나 반응물질은 그 사용 한계 에 다다르게 될 것임을 예측할 수 있었다.

Charcoal $tube/CS_2$ method are more popularly used than any other in the measurement of the working environment for the exposure evaluation of organic solvent, but it is some weak points that the lower accuracy can be obtained on the polar materials and within the range of the low concentration. Thus solvent desorption method has been developed to make accuracy higher and to overcome some weak points. However, because of high price of adsorption tube for thermal desorption and the short of study on its application to the working environment, it is not popularly used in the domestic industrial hygiene fields. This dissertation aims to develop thermal desorption and adsorption tubes for measuring organic solvents in the working environment, by comparing and analyzing breakthrough condition and adsorption capacity with ACF. Specific surface area of ACF used in this study is wider than the one of AC and micropore of ACF related with adsorption has been developed, and adsorption velocity and adsorption amount are very excellent by linking a pore of surface and an inside well into micropore. 1. Result of analysis on physical characteristics of adsorbent, the specific surface area of ACF was 1.3 times higher than that of AC. Distribution ratio of micropore related to adsorption was 94% on ACF and AC. Result of SEM, micropore of the AC is opened to the surface. In contrast, ACF shows that extremely fast adsorption speed. Because of micropore are exposed on the surface and penetrate through each other. 2. Breakthrough characteristics of adsorbents was not different from slop of breakthrough curve. The effluent concentration reaches 10% of initial concentration($C_{out}/C_{in}=0.1$, break point) of ACF was 30~316min longer than that of AC. Therefore, the adsorption capacities of ACF was 1.1~4.6 times higher than that of AC. ACF can be used as a proper adsorbent for measurement of organic solvent.
