A sensitive technique for the determination of trace Co(II) in various samples after column preconcentration by adsorbing onto silica gel loaded with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol was developed. Several experimental conditions, such as pH of sample solution, the amount of silica gel loaded with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol, the flow rate for adsorption and so forth, were optimized. The interfering effects of diverse concomitant ions were investigated. Fe(III) interfered with more than any other ions, but the interference by Fe(III) was completely eliminated by adjusting the amount of silica gel loaded with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol to 0.30 g. The dynamic range, the correlation coefficient ($R^2$), and the detection limit obtained by the proposed technique were 3.0-140.0 ng m$L^{-1}$, 0.9942, and 1.81 ng m$L^{-1}$, respectively. For validating the technique, the aqueous samples (tap water, reservoir water, stream water, and wastewater) and the plastic samples were used as real samples. Recovery yields of 93.0-107.0% were obtained. These measured data were not different from ICP-MS data at the 95% confidence level by F test. Based on the results of the experiment, it has been found that the proposed technique can be applied to the determination of Co(II) in various real samples.

Alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts have been widely studied for improving the efficiency and green hydrogen production through electrochemical water splitting. Transition metal-based electrocatalysts have emerged as promising materials that can significantly reduce the hydrogen production costs. Among the available electrocatalysts, transition metal-based layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have demonstrated outstanding OER performance owing to the abundant active sites and favorable adsorption-desorption energies for OER intermediates. Currently, cobalt doped nickel LDHs (NiCo LDHs) are regarded as the benchmark electrocatalyst for alkaline OER, primarily owing to the physicochemical synergetic effects between Ni and Co. We report effects of heat-treatment of the as-grown NiCo LDH on electrocatalytic activities in a temperature range from 250 to 400℃. Electrocatalytic OER properties were analysed by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The heat-treatment temperature was found to play a crucial role in catalytic activity. The optimum heat-treatment temperature was discussed with respect to their OER performance.

가압경수로 일차냉각수내 탈염공정의 효과적 운용을 위하여 Amberlite IRN-77 양이온 교환수지의 특성 및 Co(II), Ni(II), Cr(III), Fe(III) 이온의 흡착거동을 연구하였다. 용존 금속이온 농도가 약 $200\;mgL^{-1}$인 용액 100 mL에 대하여 이온교환수지 투입량은 약 0.6 g이 가장 적절하였으며, 이온교환 반응 속도 측정 결과 대부분의 흡착은 반응 1 시간 이내에 신속히 발생하였다. 수지에서의 양이온 교환은 Langmuir 흡착등온선을 잘 따르는 것으로 나타났으나, Fe(III)의 경우, 다른 금속과는 달리 쉽게 평형에 이르지 못하였으며 이는 공기와 오래 접촉한 결과 철산화물 또는 수산화물을 형성하며 용액 중으로부터 침전되기 때문인 것으로 관찰되었다. 전자가가 동일한 Co(II)와 Ni(II)가 동시에 포함된 모의 조제용액에 대하여 흡착실험을 한 결과, 각 이온은 거의 동일한 흡착거동을 보였다. 그러나 전자가가 큰 Cr(III)이 첨가된 경우, 이들은 기존에 수지에 흡착되어 있던 전자가가 낮은 금속들을 탈착시키고 대신 흡착하는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 이온교환수지를 이용한 효과적인 탈염 공정을 위해서는 용존 금속 상호간의 경쟁적 흡착관계의 규명이 필요한 것으로 여겨진다.

A study on the electrosorption of $Co^{2+}$ and $Sr^{2+}$ ions onto a porous activated carbon fiber (ACF) was performed to treat radioactive liquid wastes resulting from chemical or electrochemical decontamination and to regenerate the spent carbon electrode. The result of batch electrosorption experiments showed that applied negative potential increased adsorption kinetics and capacity in comparison with open-circuit potential (OCP) adsorption for $Co^{2+}$ and $Sr^{2+}$ ions. The adsorbed $Co^{2+}$ and $Sr^{2+}$ ions are released from the carbon fiber by applying a positive potential on the electrode, showing the reversibility of the sorption process. The possibility of application of the electrosorption technique to the separation of radionuclides was examined. The result of a selective removal experiments of a single component from a mixed solution showed that perfect separation of $Co^{2+}$ and $Sr^{2+}$ ions was possible by the electrosorption process.

Serving as an excellent adsorbent and inorganic ion exchanger in the water purification field, zeolite 4A has in this work presented a strong capability for purifying radioactive waste, such as $Sr^{2+}$, $Cs^+$, and $Co^{2+}$ in water. During the processes of decontamination and decommissioning of suspended solids and organics in low-level radioactive wastewater, the purification performance of zeolite 4A has been studied. Under ambient temperature and neutral condition, zeolite 4A absorbed simulated radionuclides such as $Sr^{2+}$, $Cs^+$, and $Co^{2+}$ with an absorption rate of almost 90%. Additionally, in alkaline condition, the adsorption percentage even approached 98.7%. After conducting research on suspended solids and organics of zeolite 4A for the treatment of radionuclides, it was found that the suspended clay was conducive to absorption, whereas the absorption of organics in solution was determined by the species of radionuclides and organics. Therefore, zeolite 4A has considerable potential in the treatment of radioactive wastewater.

In the industry, it is recognized that human activities significantly lead to a large amount of wastewater, mainly due to the increased use of water and energy. As a result, the growing field of wastewater resource technology is getting more attention. The common technology for hydrogen production, water electrolysis, requires purified water, leading to the need for desalination and reprocessing. However, producing hydrogen directly from wastewater could be a more cost-effective option compared to traditional methods. To achieve this, a series of first-principle computational simulations were conducted to assess how waste nutrient ions affect standard electrolysis catalysts. This study focused on understanding the adsorption mechanisms of byproducts related to the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolysis, using Co₃O₄ as a typical non-precious metal catalyst. At the same time, efforts were made to develop a comprehensive free energy prediction model for more accurate predictions of OER results.

오염수로부터 자성분리가 가능하며, 방사성 세슘을 효율적으로 제거하기 위한 코발트 페로시아나이드(cobalt ferrocyanide, CoFC) 혹은 니켈 페로시아나이드(nickel ferrocyanide, NiFC)가 도입된 자성입자 흡착제를 제조하였다. $Fe_3O_4$ 나노입자는 공침법을 이용해 제조하였고, $Co^{2+}$와 $Ni^{2+}$ 이온을 입자 표면에 도입시키기 위해 금속이온과 금속 배위결합(metalcoordination)을 하는 카르복실기를 포함한 숙신산(succinic acid, SA)을 자성나노입자(magnetic nanoparticles, MNPs) 표면에 코팅하였다. CoFC와 NiFC는 자성나노입자 표면에 도입된 $Co^{2+}$ 혹은 $Ni^{2+}$ 이온이 hexacynoferrate와 결합하여 형성된다. 제조된 CoFC-MNPs 그리고 NiFC-MNPs는 각각 $43.2emu{\cdot}g^{-1}$, $47.7emu{\cdot}g^{-1}$의 우수한 포화자화 값을 보여주었다. X-선 회절분석(XRD), 퓨리에 변환 적외선 분광분석(FT-IR), 나노입자 입도 분석기(DLS), 투과전자현미경(TEM) 등의 분석을 통해 흡착제의 물성을 파악하고, 세슘에 대한 흡착 성능을 알아보았다. 흡착실험을 평가하기 위해 Langmuir/Freundlich 등온흡착식을 이용해 실험 결과 값을 곡선맞춤 하였고, CoFC-MNPs와 NiFC-MNPs의 최대흡착량($q_m$)은 각각 $15.63mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$, $12.11mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$이다. CoFC-MNPs와 NiFC-MNPs는 방사성 세슘에 대해서도 최저 99.09%의 제거율을 가지며, 경쟁이온의 존재에도 방사성 세슘만을 선택적으로 흡착한다.

Organic-inorganic hybrid sol-gel matrices were used as hosts for chloro (5, 10, 15, 20-tetraphenylporphyrinato) cobalt (III) (Co[TPP]Cl), a known ionophore for nitrite. The sol-gel precursor was prepared by the reaction of (3-isocyanopropyl) triethoxysilane with 1,4-butanediol. An appropriate amount of the anion-exchanger, tridodecylmethylammonium chloride (TDMAC) and the plasticizer, tributylphosphate (DBP) were used as membrane additives. On mixing with an acidic catalyst, the sol-state precursors slowly gelled, yielding a membrane in which the active components, Co[TPP]Cl and TDMAC, were encapsulated. The performances of the sol-gel membrane-based electrodes were compared to those of Co[TPP]Cl-based poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane electrodes. Membranes with a molar ratio of Co[TPP]Cl: TDMAC (1 : 0.1) showed reasonable response slopes toward nitrite. The response slopes were typically 53 mV/decade between $10^{-5.4}$ and $10^{-1.0}\;M$. Selectivities toward nitrite over hydrophilic and small anions such as chloride were somewhat inferior to those observed with PVC-based membranes, but selectivities over lipophilic anions were quite similar. Reduced asymmetry potentials due to protein adsorption were found to occur with the sol-gel matrix relative to PVC-based films when the sensors were employed as a detector in flow-through configuration.
