The adsorption characteristics of Cu ions were studied using the zeolite Na-A synthesized from Jeju volcanic rocks. The effects of various operating parameters such as initial concentration of Cu ions, contact time, solution pH, and solution temperature were investigated in batch experiments. The adsorption of Cu ions by Na-A zeolite was fitted well by pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity determined using the Langmuir isotherm model was 152.95 mg/g. In addition, the adsorption of Cu ions by zeolite Na-A was primarily controlled by particle diffusion model in comparison with the film diffusion model. As the temperature increased from 303 K to 323 K, ${\Delta}G^o$ decreased from -2.22 kJ/mol to -3.41 kJ/mol, indicating that the adsorption of Cu ions by Na-A zeolite is spontaneous process.

This study was carried out for characterization of MIO synthesized in our laboratory by co-precipitation method and applied isotherm and kinetic models for adsorption properties. XRD analysis were conducted to find crystal structure of synthesized MIO. Further SEM and XPS analysis was performed before and after phosphate adsorption, and BET analysis for surface characterization. Phosphate stock solution was prepared by KH2PO4 for characterization of phosphate adsorption, and batch experiment was conducted using 50 ml conical tube. Langmuir and Freundlich models were applied based on adsorption equilibrium test of MIO by initial phosphate solution. Pseudo first order and pseudo second order models were applied for interpretation of kinetic model by temperature. Surface area and pore size of MIO were found $89.6m^2/g$ and 16 nm respectively. And, the determination coefficient ($R^2$) value of Langmuir model was 0.9779, which was comparatively higher than that of Freundlich isotherm model 0.9340.

Biosorption of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution was studied with respect to the point of zero charge of coconut husk, dye concentration, particle size, pH, temperature, as well as adsorbent and NaCl concentration using coconut husk biomass. Amongst Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms studied, Langmuir adsorption isotherm showed better agreement. Pseudo second order kinetics model was found to be more suitable for data presentation as compared to pseudo first order kinetics model. Also, involvement of diffusion process was studied using intraparticle diffusion, external mass transfer and Boyd kinetic model. Involvement of intraparticle diffusion model was found to be more relevant (prominent) as compared to external mass transfer (in) for methylene blue biosorption by the coconut husk. Moreover, thermodynamic properties of MB biosorption by coconut husk were studied. Desorption of methylene blue from biomass was studied with different desorbing agents, and the highest desorption achieved was as low as 7.18% with acetone, which indicate stable immobilization. Under the experimental conditions MB sorption was not significantly affected by pH, temperature and adsorbent concentration but low sorption was observed at higher NaCl concentrations.

Immobilizing microalgae cells in a hyphal matrix can simplify harvest while producing novel mycoalgae products with potential food, feed, biomaterial, and renewable energy applications; however, limited quantitative information to describe the process and its applicability under various conditions leads to difficulties in comparing across studies and scaling-up. Here, we demonstrate the immobilization of both active and heat-deactivated marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum (UTEX 466) using different loadings of fungal pellets (Aspergillus sp.) and model the process through kinetics and equilibrium models. Active P. tricornutum cells were not required for the fungal-assisted immobilization process and the fungal isolate was able to immobilize more than its original mass of microalgae. The Freundlich isotherm model adequately described the equilibrium immobilization characteristics and indicated increased normalized algae immobilization (g algae removed/g fungi loaded) under low fungal pellet loadings. The kinetics of algae immobilization by the fungal pellets were found to be adequately modeled using both a pseudo-second order model and a model previously developed for fungal-assisted algae immobilization. These results provide new insights into the behavior and potential applications of fungal-assisted algae immobilization.

본 연구에서는 수용액 중의 불소이온을 제거할 수 있는 흡착제로서 란탄수산화물의 활용 가능서을 검토하였다. 란탄 수산화물을 대상으로 회분식 흡착실험을 수행하고, 그 결과를 바탕으로 pH 영향, 흡착속도, 흡착등온 및 흡착에너지 등을 살펴보았다. 란탄수산화물은 pH 8.8 이하의 산성영역으로 갈수록 불소 제거율이 증가하는 특성을 나타냈다. 란탄수산화물의 불소 흡착평형은 Langmuir isotherm 보다는 Fruendlich isotherm 모델과 더 일치하였다. D-R 모델로부터 구한 흡착에너지는 9.21 kJ/mol로 이온교환메커니즘을 나타내는 범위에 속하였으며, 흡착속도는 2차 속도모델과 일치하는 거동을 보였다. 열역학적 상수 ${\Delta}Go^{\circ}$, ${\Delta}H^{\circ}$와 ${\Delta}S^{\circ}$는 란탄수산화물의 불소흡착특성이 자발적이고 흡열반응임을 나타냈다. 란탄수산화물은 1N NaOH로 재생 가능하며, 실 지하수에 대한 흡착실험 결과, 란탄수산화물이 PA보다 불소에 대한 이온선택성은 물론 제거율이 높았다.

활성탄에 의한 acid fuchsin (AF) 염료의 흡착에 대한 등온선, 동력학 및 열역학적 특성치를 흡착제의 양, pH, 초기 농도, 접촉시간 및 온도를 변수로 하여 수행하였다. 활성탄을 사용한 AF의 흡착에 대한 pH의 영향은 산성(pH 8)에서 흡착백분율이 높은 욕조 현상을 나타냈다. 등온흡착 데이터는 Freundlich, Langmuir, Dubinin-Radushkevich 등온흡착식에 맞춰 보았다. Freundlich 식이 가장 높은 일치도를 나타냈으며, 흡착메카니즘이 다분자층 흡착임을 알았다. 흡착용량은 온도증가와 함께 증가하였다. Freundlich의 분리계수는 이 흡착공정이 적합한 처리공정임을 나타냈다. Dubinin-Radushkevich 등온흡착식에 의해 평가된 흡착 에너지는 활성탄에 의한 AF의 흡착이 물리 흡착임을 확인시켰다. 흡착동력학은 유사이차반응속도식에 잘 맞았다. 입자내 확산 모델에 의해 흡착점에서의 표면 확산이 율속단계로 평가되었다. 흡착공정의 활성화 에너지와 엔탈피 변화는 각각 21.19 kJ/mol, 23.05 kJ/mol 이었다. Gibbs 자유 에너지 변화는 흡착반응이 온도가 높아질수록 자발성이 더 진다는 것을 알려주었다. 양의 엔트로피는 이공정이 비가역적이라는 것을 나타냈다. 등량 흡착열은 본질덕으로 물리흡착임을 나타냈다.

제주의 농업폐기물인 감귤박으로 제조한 활성탄(WCAC)을 수용액 중의항생제 dimetridazole (DMZ)를 제거하기 위해 사용하였다. WCAC에의한 DMZ의 흡착을 접촉시간, WCAC의 투여량, WCAC의 입자크기, 온도, pH 및 DMZ 농도와 같은 다양한 조건하에서 연구하였다. DMZ의 흡착량은 온도가 증가하고 입자크기가 감소함에 따라 증가하였다. 또한, pH 4 이상에서는 DMZ의 흡착량이 거의 일정하게 유지되었지만, pH 4 이하에서는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 흡착등온 결과를 Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich-Peterson 및 Duinin-Radushkevich (D-R) 등온 모델식에 적용하여 검토한 결과 Redlich-Peterson 등온 모델식에 의해 가장 잘 설명되었다. 흡착속도는 유사 2차 속도 모델에 잘 적용될 수 있었으며, 입자 내 확산 모델의 결과로부터 흡착 과정 동안 막 확산과 입자 내 확산이 동시에 일어나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 열역학적 파라미터는 WCAC에 대한 DMZ의 흡착반응은 흡열반응이고 자발적인 과정으로 진행된다는 것을 나타내었다. 실험결과는 WCAC가 항생제 DMZ를 제거하는데 있어서 값싸고 유용한 흡착제가 될 수 있다는 것을 보여주었다.

A novel polyacrylamide grafted hydrous ferric oxide adsorbent composite has been synthesized by using glow discharge electrolysis plasma. To optimize the synthesis conditions, the following parameters were examined in detail: applied power, discharge time, post polymerization temperature, post polymerization time, amount of crosslinking agent and hydrous ferric oxide gel added and so on. The adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The removal percentage of the adsorbent in Pb(II) solution was examined and the data obtained showed that the adsorbent composite has a high capacity for lead ion. For the use in wastewater treatment, the thermodynamic and kinetic of Pb(II)-capture were also studied. Results indicated that the adsorption reaction was a spontaneous and an endothermic process, and it seems to be obeyed a pseudo-secondorder rate model. Moreover, the adsorption isotherm of Pb(II)-capture is following the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models.

Presence of hazardous dyes in water cause considerable risks to the human health and environment due to their potential toxicity and ecological disruptions. Therefore, in the present research, to suggest an alternative method for the retention of toxic Azocarmine G (ACG) dye from aqueous media, natural and H₂SO₄-modified acacia sawdust were performed for the first time as low-cost and efficient adsorbents. Based on batch experiments, it was determined that the best conditions for the developed dye retention process were an initial pH of 2.0 and an equilibrium time of 240 min. Analysis of the data using both pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models showed that the retention of ACG onto the adsorbents predominantly occurred through chemical adsorption. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models were employed to provide insights into the interaction between the adsorbate and adsorbent and the mechanism of the adsorption process. Maximum monolayer adsorption capacities of natural and H₂SO₄-modified acacia sawdust were determined as 28.01 and 64.90 mg g^-1, respectively by Langmuir isotherm model. Results of the study clearly indicated that the modification of acacia sawdust with H₂SO₄ leads to a substantial increase in the adsorption performance of anionic dyes.

The solid phase extractant SAN-D2EHPA/TBP containing two extractants of Di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) and Tri-butyl-phosphate (TBP) was prepared by immobilizing two exractants D2EHPA and TBP in styrene acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN). The prepared SAN-D2EHPA/TBP was characterized by using fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The solid phase extractant SAN-D2EHPA/TBP was tested for the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solution. Experiments were carried out as a function of the pH and Cu(II) concentration in the aqueous phase. The equilibrium time was 180 min and equilibrium experiment data obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The Langmuir isotherm model represented the experiment data as well. The maximum removal capacity of Cu(II) calculated from Langmuir isotherm model was 3.1 mg/g.
