본 연구에서는 제올라이트 X를 이용한 Cs 이온 흡착시 흡착시간 및 초기농도, 온도 및 pH 변화와 같은 영향인자를 평가하였다. 이 결과로부터 Cs 이온의 흡착속도, 등온흡착량 및 열역학적 특성을 해석하였다. 제올라이트 X에 의한 Cs 이온의 흡착은 pH 5~10에서 효과적이었으며, 평형흡착시간은 약 60분이었다. 흡착속도와 등온흡착량은 유사 2차 속도 모델식과 Langmuir 식에 잘 적용되었다. Langmuir 식으로 구한 Cs 이온의 최대 흡착량은 293~333 K에서 각각 303.03~333.33 mg/g이었다. 제올라이트 X에 의한 Cs 이온의 흡착은 흡열반응이고 자발적인 반응이었다. 실험값을 다중회귀분석으로 최적화하여 2차 다항식을 얻었다. 이 최적화된 식으로부터 구한 종속변수의 값과 실험에서 구한 값은 잘 일치하였다.

Cadmium (Cd) adsorption onto the activated carbon containing hydroxyapatite (HAP) was investigated in batch experiments and response surface methodology (RSM) using the Box-Behnken methods were applied to the experimental results. Cd adsorption with different HAP mass ratio of from 10% to 30%. With more HAP, Cd was more adsorbed. These results suggest that the higher HAP mass causes an increase of the ion exchange potential of the HAP sorbent. Equilibrium experimental results from Cd adsorption was fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Cd adsorption on HAP sorbent were found to follow the Freundlich isotherm model well in the initial adsorbate concentration range. Also, Cd adsorption was a function of the HAP mass ratio ($x_1$), initial Cd concentration ($x_2$), and initial pH ($x_3$) from the application of the RSM. Statistical results showed the order of significance of the independent variables to be initial Cd concentration > HAP mass ratio > initial pH.

폐감귤박으로 제조한 활성탄(WCAC, waste citrus peel based activated carbon)에 의한 항생제 trimethoprim (TMP)의 흡착 특성을 조사하기 위해 반응표면법(RSM, response surface methodology)을 사용하여 TMP 흡착에 대한 운전인자들의 영향을 조사하였다. 농도($X_1$: 50-150 mg/L), pH ($X_2$: 4-10), 온도($X_3$: 293-323 K), 흡착제 투여량($X_4$: 0.05-0.15 g)의 4가지 입력 파라미터를 가진 4-요인 Box-Behnken 실험 설계에 따라 회분식 실험을 수행하고, 얻어진 실험 결과를 다중 회귀 분석으로 2차 다항식에 맞추고 통계적 방법을 사용하여 검토하였다. 독립 변수 및 변수들 간의 교호 작용의 유의성은 ANOVA 및 t-검정 통계기법으로 평가하였으며, 통계적 결과는 TMP 농도가 다른 요인들에 비하여 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 운전인자라는 것을 보여 주었다. 흡착공정은 유사 2차 속도식에 잘 부합하였으며, 등온흡착평형관계는 Langmuir 식이 Freundlich 식 보다 잘 부합하였다. Langmuir 등온식으로 부터 계산한 WCAC에 의한 TMP의 최대 흡착량은 293 K에서 144.9 mg/g이었다.

화력발전소에서 발생되는 석탄비산재로부터 합성한 제올라이트 X를 이용한 Cs 흡착의 회분식 실험 및 반응표면분석법(Response Surface Methodology, RSM)을 적용하여 결과를 분석하였다. Cs 흡착 실험에 적용된 회귀 방정식은 반응변수의 함수로 나타낼 수 있었다. 결정계수($r^2$)가 0.9630으로서 이 모델은 높은 상관성을 가졌다. pH > Cs 농도 > 온도와 같은 실험적 요인의 순서로 Cs의 제거효율에 영향을 준다는 것을 통계적인 결과로부터 확인하였다. 흡착속도는 유사 2차 모델에 의해 보다 정확하게 표현되었다. Langmuir 등온선 모델로부터 계산된 최대 흡착용량은 293 K에서 $151.52mg\;g^{-1}$이었다. 또한, Vant Hoff 식에 의해 계산된 열역학 파라미터에 의거하여 흡착반응이 흡열반응이며, 자발적인 과정임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The influencing factors to remove phosphate were evaluated by converter slag (CS). Experiments were performed by batch tests using different CS sizes and column test. Solutions were prepared at the different pH and concentrations. The maximum removal efficiency was obtained over 98% with the finest particle size, $CS_a$ within 2 hours in batch tests. The removal efficiency was increased in the order of decreasing size with same amount of CS for any pH of solutions. The adsorption data were well fitted to Freundlich isotherm. From the column experiment, the specific factors were revealed that the breakthrough removal capacity (BRC) $x_b/m_{cs}$, was decreased by increasing the influent concentration. The breakthrough time, tb was lasted shorter as increasing the influent concentration. The pH drop simultaneously led to lower BRC drop during the experimental hours. The relation between the breakthrough time and the BRC to influent concentration was shown in the logarithmic decrease. Results suggested that the large surface area of CS possessed a great potential for adsorptive phosphate removal. Consequently particle size and initial concentration played the major influencing factors in phosphate removal by converter slag.

In this work, removal of phenol from aqueous solutions by activated red mud was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was used to observe the morphology and surface components of activated red mud, respectively. The effects of various parameters on the removal efficiency were studied, such as contact time, pH, initial phenol concentration, and adsorbent dosage. The removal percentage of phenol was initially increased, as the solution pH increased from 3 to 7, and then decreased above neutral pH. The removal percentage of phenol was decreased by increasing the initial phenol concentrations. Adsorption results show that equilibrium data follow the Freundlich isotherm, and kinetic data was well described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Experimental results show that the activated red mud can be used to treat aqueous solutions containing phenol, as a low cost adsorbent with high efficiency.

Santa Barbara Amorphous-15(SBA-15) nanoparticles were utilized as the inexpensive and effective adsorbents to remove methylene blue dye from the aqueous solution.SBA-15 was created by Zhao et al method. Infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used for the evaluated physical properties of SBA-15. The results of diffraction X-ray indicated that was the crystalline structure for it. Also IR spectroscopy indicated was a silica the whole structure of the groups and SEM image verify the structure of relatively identical particles size of SBA-15. Factors affecting adsorption including the amounts of adsorbent, pH and contact time were investigated by a SBA-15 nanomaterial design. The extent of dye removal enhanced with increasing initial dye concentration and pH from 4 to 10. The higher percentage adsorption were obtained under optimum conditions of variables (sorbent dose of 200 mg/liter, initial MB concentration 10 mg/liter, initial pH of 10 and temperature of $25^{\circ}C$). Maximum adsorption happened after the 2 hour and the kinetic processes of the dyes adsorption were described by applying the pseudo-first-order and the pseudo-second-order and the relatively High correlation with the kinetic Ellovich models. It was found that the pseudo-second-order models kinetic equation described the data of dye adsorption with a good correlation (R2>0.999) which indicated chemisorption mechanism. Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models were investigated in conditions of variables (adsorbent dose 0.01 gr/liter, MB concentration 10, 20, 30 mg/liter, pH of 4, 7, 10, contact time 90 min and temperature of $27^{\circ}C$). The adsorption data were represented by Langmuir isotherm model. These values are higher than the adsorption capacities of some other adsorbents that have recently been published in the literature.

In this study, an innovative media, iron mixed ceramic pellet (IMCP) has been developed for arsenic (As) removal from groundwater. A porous, solid-phase IMCP (2-3 mm) was manufactured by combining clay soil, rice bran, and Fe(0) powder at $600^{\circ}C$. Both the As(III) and As(V) adsorption characteristics of IMCP were studied in several batch experiments. Structural analysis of the IMCP was conducted using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis to understand the mechanism of As removal. The adsorption of As was found to be dependent on pH, and exhibited strong adsorption of both As(III) and As(V) at pH 5-7. The adsorption process was described to follow a pseudo-second-order reaction, and the adsorption rate of As(V) was greater than that of As(III). The adsorption data were fit well with both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacities of As(III) and As(V) from the Langmuir isotherm were found to be 4.0 and 4.5 mg/g, respectively. Phosphorus in the water had an adverse effect on both As(III) and As(V) adsorption. Scanning electron microscopy results revealed that iron(III) oxides/hydroxides are aggregated on the surface of IMCP. XAFS analysis showed a partial oxidation of As(III) and adsorption of As(V) onto the iron oxide in the IMCP.

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.

The purpose of this study was to investigate adsorption characteristics of organo-clays for removal of p-xylene. As part of efforts to examine the adsorption capacities of some organo-clays for p-xylene, batch isotherm tests were carried out. Organo-clay minerals were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions using Na-montmorillonite as host clay and dimethyldioctadecylammonium (DMDA) bromide and benzyldimethyldodecylammonium (BDDA) chloride as organic surfactants, respectively. All synthetic organo-clay minerals were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The modification using dimethyldioctadecylammonium (DMDA) bromide showed the higher adsorption ability for p-xylene than benzyldimethyldodecylammonium (BDDA) chloride. On the other hand, the maximum adsorption capacity, $Q_{max}$ of DMDA modified montmorillonite estimated by Langmuir model was 27.0 mg/g, which was the higher value than other organo-clays.
