The surface properties and adsorption rates of activated carbon modified with acid and base were compared. The distribution ratio of C and C-H on the surface of activated carbon were decreased by modification with acid and base, but the distribution ratio of C-O, C=O, and O=C-O were increased. Base modification damaged the surface of activated carbon more than acid modification, it caused the effect of 6 percent increments of surface area. Adsorption rate model was more suitable to second order equation than first order equation. Adsorption rate was controlled by adsorption in pore better than in surface.

전기이중층 커패시터용 활성탄의 정전 용량 향상을 위해 우레아를 이용해 활성탄 표면에 펩티드 결합을 유도하였다. 우레아 도입에 따른 활성탄은 소성과정을 거쳐 안정화되었으며, 전기화학적 특성을 순환전류 전압법을 이용하여 정전 용량을 관찰하고, 임피던스를 통해 저항 변화를 관찰하였으며, 충방전 평가를 통해 싸이클 성능을 관찰하였다. 결과적으로 질소성 작용기의 도입으로 정전 용량은 기존 탄소재에 비해 약 22.9%의 향상을 이루었으며, 저항 감소 및 우수한 싸이클 성능을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

The surface modified activated carbons (SMACs) were prepared with various $P_2O_5$ concentrations using two activated carbons (ACs: waste citrus peel-based activated carbon and coconut-based activated carbon). The characteristics and adsorptivity of bisphenol A (one of phenolic endocrine disrupting chemicals) were compared between ACs and SMACs. The contents of C, H and N of SMACs were similar to those of ACs, but the content of $P_2O_5$ for the former increased greatly than for the latter, due to the impregnation of $P_2O_5$ into the pores. The specific surface area, total pore volume, average pore diameter and iodine adsorptivity for the former decreased due to the impregnation of $P_2O_5$ into the pores, compared to those for the latter. The adsorptivity of bisphenol A for the former were higher than that for the latter, although specific surface area, total pore volume, average pore diameter and iodine adsorptivity for the former were lower than those for the latter.

Zn-AC and Zn-H-AC series prepared from non- and surface-modified activated carbon were investigated in terms of their hydrogen production capacity. An increase in the concentration of the zinc salts used with these series was shown to lead to a decrease in the values of the surface textural properties. The existence of zinc complexes on the surface was confirmed from an analysis of XRD data. The SEM micrographs of the two different sample types showed that the transformation of the carbon surface with an acid pre-treatment significantly change the metal contents on the surfaces of the carbon matrix. The EDX spectra indicated that all of the samples were richer in the amount of oxygen and zinc compared to any other elements. The results obtained using the Boehm's titration method showed that the positive introduction of the acidic groups on the carbon surfaces with the acid treatment is correlated with an increase in the amounts of zinc complexes with variation of the acidic groups. In terms of the hydrogen production performance, the volume fractions of the Zn-H-AC series were found to produce higher amounts than the Zn-AC series as a function of the metal contents considering the effects of the acid treatment.

본 연구에서는 석탄가스화 복합발전시스템용 고온건식탈황공정에 포함된 직접황회수공정의 $SO_2$ 촉매환원 반응에서 발생되는 COS의 효과적인 제거를 위한 활성탄계 흡착제의 흡착특성이 연구되었다. $SO_2$의 촉매적 환원을 위하여 전이금속 담지촉매와 복합금속산화물 촉매가 사용되었으며, 이들 촉매의 반응기구에 따라 COS 생성과정과 반응온도에 따른 유출량이 조사되었다. 생성된 저농도의 COS를 효과적으로 제거하기 위하여 상용활성탄과 활성탄의 COS흡착특성을 개선하기 위하여 알칼리금속 수용액(KOH)으로 담지시킨 활성탄이 이용되었다. TGA를 이용하여 온도에 따른 COS 흡착량과 흡착속도를 알 수 있었고, GC-PFPD가 장착된 고정층 흡착시스템을 이용하여 COS 흡착실험을 수행한 결과, 높은 BET 표면적을 지니는 KOH로 처리된 활성탄의 COS 파과시간이 상용활성탄에 비해 장시간 유지되었다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 활성탄 흡착시스템으로 $SO_2$ 환원으로부터 생성되는 COS를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있으며, 알칼리성 금속을 담지할 경우 흡착특성이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

The adsorption experiments of lithium ions were conducted in the fixed bed column packed with activated carbon modified with nitric acid. Effect of inlet concentration, bed hight and flow rate on the removal of lithium ions was investigated. The experimental results showed that the removal and the adsorption capacity of lithium ions increased with increasing inlet concentration, and decreased with increasing flow rate. When the bed height increased, the removal and the adsorption capacity increased. The breakthrough curves gave a good fit to Bohart-Adams model. Adsorption capacity and breakthrough time calculated from Bohart-Adams model, these results were remarkably consistent with the experimental values. The adsorption capacity was not changed in the case of 3 times repetitive use of adsorbent.

The two-step surface modifications of activated carbon was carried out to improve the adsorption capacity of toxic heavy metal ions in liquid phase. Physical and chemical properties of the as-received activated carbon (AC) and two kinds of surface-modified activated carbons ($1^{st}AC$ and $2^{nd}AC$) were evaluated through the BET analysis, surface acidity, and oxides measurements. Specific surface area and pore volume did not significantly change, but surface oxide-group remarkably increased by the surface modification. Equilibrium and batch adsorptions of the various metals, such as Pb, Cd, and Cr, using AC, $1^{st}AC$, and $2^{nd}AC$ were performed at initial pH 5. The adsorption capacity and rate of $2^{nd}AC$ were higher than those of AC and $1^{st}AC$. The carboxylic/sodium carboxylate complex groups were developed from the two-step surface modification of activated carbon, which strongly affected the adsorption of metal ions.

The objective of this paper is to compare the variation of surface properties by hydrochloric acid pre-treatment and of metallic potassium and their salts loading effect for activated carbon after surfaces transformation by acid. From the results of nitrogen adsorption, each isotherm shows a distinct knee band, which is closely related to the characteristic of microporous carbons with capillary condensation in micropores. In order to present the causes of the differences in surface properties and $S_{BET}$ after the samples were treated with hydrochloric acid, pore structure and surface morphology are investigated by adsorption analysis. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns indicate that activated carbons show better performance for metallic potassium and potassium salts by pre-treatment with hydrochloric acid. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) pictures of potassium/activated carbon particles provide information about the homogeneous distribution of metal or metal complex on the surface. For the chemical composition microanalysis for potassium treatment of the activated carbon pre-treated with hydrochloric acid, samples were analyzed by energy disperse X-ray (EDX). Finally, the type and quality of oxygen groups are determined from the method proposed by Boehm. A positive influence of the acidic groups on the carbon surface by acid treatment is also demonstrated by an increase in the contents of potassium salts with increasing of acidic groups calculated from Boehm titration.

The purpose of this study was to fabricate a ferric nitrate impregnated activated carbon, and the performance for hydrogen sulfide by adsorption was evaluated. Sodium hydroxide was utilized to control pH in the process during generation of ferric hydroxide on the surface of the carbon. Critical mixing duration for generation of ferric hydroxide on the carbon was 48 hrs at pH 1 of the solution, in which the chemical adsorption of hydrogen sulfide was enhanced. The adsorption capacity of the impregnated carbon increased up to 0.10 g hydrogen sulfide/g carbon, which was 4.3 times higher than that of the raw carbon. Presence of FeOOH on the surface of the impregnated carbon was examined by X-ray diffraction.

This study was carried out view that reuse of sludge of adsorbent for benzene in carbonized cast compare with activated carbon. Not only the carbonized cast is good than carbonized carbon in cation exchange capacity and 12 adsorption capacity, but also benzene adsorption capacity is no differences compare to activated carbon. As results, benzene adsorption capacity of carbonized cast and activated carbon are decreased as temperature increase($25~70^{\circ}C$).It is compatible in Lamgmuir model. Therefore, carbonized cast is applied general adsorbent. From experimental results and data regression, in model concerning effect of temperature, relative errors between the experimental data and those calculated by the model are within the range of 1.2~7.8%. In relative humidity effect (RH 0.25~0.50) of benzene adsorption, modified Freundlich model : $QB_{enzene}{;\}QB_{enzene},{\}_{RH=0}=1-kRH^{IN}$, relative errors between the experimental data and those calculated by the model are within are range of 0.5-5.1%. The constants k and l/n in equation were found to be 1.25, 1.89 in carbonized cast.
