바이오필터담체가 충전된 흡착칼럼 운전 시의 흡착 및 탈착거동에 대하여 조사하였다. 에탄올을 휘발성유기화합물(VOC)로서 함유하는 폐가스를 처리하기 위한 연속동적흡착 실험을 바이오필터공정과 같은 90% 이상의 상대습도에서 수행하였다. 에탄올 1,000 ppmv(or 2,050 mg ethanol/$m^3$)를 포함하는 폐가스 2 L/min을 흡착칼럼에 공급하였을 때에 흡착칼럼 출구에서의 파과점과 흡착평형에 이르는 시간은 1단 시료구에서 보다 각각 10배와 3배 만큼 지연되었다. 한편 에탄올 2,000 ppmv(or 4,100 mg ethanol/$m^3$)를 포함하는 폐가스의 경우에는 각각 9배와 3배 지연되었다. 이와 같이 흡착칼럼 출구에서 지연기간의 비는 공급농도와 무관하게 서로 거의 일치하였음이 관찰되었다. 또한 1단 시료구와 출구에서 비교한 유입폐가스의 에탄올농도의 10%를 보이는 탈착시간 지연비도 약 1.5배로서 거의 일치하였다. 한편 미생물활성과 멸균공정의 흡착평형에 대한 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 멸균된 입상 활성탄으로 충전된 vial의 기상 에탄올 농도는 멸균되지 않은 입상 활성탄으로 충전된 경우와 거의 일치하였다. 그러나 퇴비(compost)나 입상 활성탄/퇴비 혼합물의 경우에는 멸균 안한 경우가 멸균한 경우보다 기상에서의 에탄올 농도가 현저하게 높았다.

제지슬러지(PMS)는 침전과정에서 alum을 사용함으로 인해 다량의 알루미늄을 함유하며, 그 결과 토양 시용시 종종 작물에 대한 인의 흡수를 제한하는 요인으로 작용한다. 본 연구는 그러한 제지슬러지의 인 흡착 특성을 조사하기 위하여 토양을 대조로 하여 alum을 처리하기 전과 후에 채취한 제지 슬러지 및 제지슬러지 퇴비(PMSC)를 대상으로 인 최대 흡착$(X_m)$과 흡착에너지 상수 $K_f$를 조사하였다. 토양의 인 최대흡착량은 800 ${\mu}g\;g^{-1}$인 반면, alum 처리 전 PMS는 47 $mg\;g^{-1}$, alum처리 후 PMS는 61 $mg\;g^{-1}$으로서 대조 토양에 비해 PMS의 인 흡착량은 현저하게 높고, alum 처리 후 인흡착능은 약 30% 증가하였다. 또한 퇴비화 후 PMS 퇴비의 최대 인 흡착능은68 $mg\;g^{-1}$으로서 퇴비화로 인하여 약 11%의 인 흡착능이 증가하였다. 인 흡착 계수인 $K_f$는 alum 처리 유무 간 큰 차이가 없었으나 퇴비화후에는 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 인 최대 흡착량$(X_m)$과 흡착에너지 상수 $K_f$를 고려한 이러한 결과들은 제지슬러지의 퇴비의 장기 혹은 과량시용이 작물에 대한 인의 흡수를 제한하는 요인으로 작용할 수 있음을 암시한다.

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.

This study was carried out to increase the treatment efficiency through the improvement of the conventional biological process, and to propose the optimal treatment direction. The optimal treatment conditions were derived based on the results of the spike damage tests in each single process. The removal efficiency of micropharmaceuticals was further increased when an ozone treatment process was added to the biological process compared to the single process. The soil and activated carbon adsorption process was introduced in the post-treatment to remove the micropharmaceutical residues, and the removal efficiency of the pharmaceduticals in the final effluent was more than 85% in spike damage experiment. In particular, the continuous process of biological treatment-ozone-adsorption could ensure the stable treatment of micropharmaceuticals, which had not been efficiently removed in the single process, as it showed more than 80% removal efficiency. Therefore, it is expected that the addition of the ozone oxidation and activated carbon adsorption process to the existing sewage treatment facilities can contribute to the efficient removal of micropharmaceuticals.

Mill scale, an iron waste, was used to separate magnetite particles for the adsorption of phosphate from aqueous solution. Mill scale has a layered structure composed of wustite (FeO), magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$), and hematite ($Fe_2O_3$). Because magnetite shows the highest magnetic property among these iron oxides, it can be easily separated from the crushed mill scale particles. Several techniques were employed to characterize the separated particles. Mill scale-derived magnetite particles exhibited a strong uptake affinity to phosphate in a wide pH range of 3-7, with the maximum adsorptive removal of 100%, at the dosage of 1 g/L, pH 3-5. Langmuir isotherm model well described the equilibrium data, exhibiting maximum adsorption capacities for phosphate up to 4.95 and 8.79 mg/g at 298 and 308 K, respectively. From continuous operation of the packed-bed column reactor operated with different EBCT (empty bed contact time) and adsorbent particle size, the breakthrough of phosphate started after 8-22 days of operation. After regeneration of the column reactor with 0.1N NaOH solution, 95-98% of adsorbed phosphate could be detached from the column reactor.

In this study, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from printing industries were analyzed, and an inorganic adsorbent, ${\gamma}-alumina$, was selected for the effective control of the VOC emissions. Printing processes commonly require inks, thinners, and cleaners, and they were mixed organic solvents containing aromatic compounds, ketones, and alcohols. Therefore, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) were selected as model compounds for this study. The adsorptive properties using ${\gamma}-alumina$ were determined for the model compounds. Both batch isotherm and continuous flow column tests demonstrated that the adsorption capacity of MEK and IPA was 3~4 times higher than that of toluene. The column test performed at an inlet toluene concentration of 100 ppm showed that an 80% breakthrough for toluene was observed after 3 hours, but both MEK and IPA were continuously adsorbed during the same time period. A numerical model simulated that the ${\gamma}-alumina$ could remove toluene at a loading rate of 0.4 mg/min only for a 4-hour period, which might be too short of a duration for real applications. Consequently, lifetime enhancement for ${\gamma}-alumina$ must be implemented, and ozone oxidation and regeneration would be feasible options.

A study on the electrosorption of uranium ions onto a porous activated carbon fiber (ACF) was performed to treat uraniumcontaining lagoon sludge. The result of the continuous flow-through cell electrosorption experiments showed that the applied negative potential increased the adsorption kinetics and capacity in comparison to the open-circuit potential (OCP) adsorption for uranium ions. Effective U(VI) removal is accomplished when a negative potential is applied to the activated carbon fiber (ACF) electrode. For a feed concentration of 100 mg/L, the concentration of U(VI) in the cell effluent is reduced to less than 1 mg/L. The selective removal of uranium ions from electrolyte was possible by the electrosorption process.

Coconut shell activated carbon (CSAC) was investigated for its ability in the removal of two neutral chlorinated organic compounds, namely trichloroethylene (TCE) and dichloromethane (DCM) from aqueous solution using a packed bed column. The efficiency of the prepared activated carbon was also compared with a commercial activated carbon (CAC). The important design parameters such as flow rate and bed height were studied. In all the cases the lowest flow rate (5 mL/min) and the highest bed height (25 cm) resulted in maximum uptake and per cent removal. The experimental data were analysed using bed depth service time model (BDST) and Thomas model. The regeneration experiments including about five adsorption-desorption cycles were conducted. The suitable elutant selected from batch regeneration experiments (25% isopropyl alcohol) was used to desorb the loaded activated carbon in each cycle.

A sensory element against carbaryl, as a widely used pesticide was prepared based on adsorbed acetylcholine esterase (AChE) from Torpedo california. Octadecyl was substituted on macro-porous silica, confirmed by infra-red (IR) spectroscopy and quantitatively estimated through thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). Immobilization of the enzyme was achieved by adsorption on this support. Activity of the immobilization product was measured as a function of the loaded enzyme concentration, and maximum binding capacity of the support was estimated to be 43.18 nmol.mg-1. The immobilized preparations were stable for more than two months at storage conditions and showed consistency in continuous operations. Possible application of the immobilized AChE for quantitative analysis of carbaryl is proposed in this study.
