Microwave hydrothermal-assisted sol-gel method was employed to synthesize the Fe doped TiO2 photocatalyst. The morphological analysis suggests anatase phase nanoparticles of ~20 nm with an SBET area of 283.99 ㎡/g. The doping of Fe ions in TiO2 created oxygen vacancies and Ti3+ species as revealed through the XPS analysis. The reduction of the band gap (3.1 to 2.8 eV) is occurred by doping effect. The as-prepared photocatalyst was applied for removal of NOx under solar light irradiation. The doping of Fe in TiO2 facilitates 75 % of NOx oxidation efficiency which is more than two-fold enhancement than the TiO2 photocatalyst. The possible reason of enhancement is associated with high surface area, oxygen vacancy, and reduction of the band gap. Also, the low production of toxic intermediates, NO2 gas, is further confirmed by Combustion Ion Chromatography. The mechanism related NOx oxidation by the doped photocatalyst is explained in this study.

본 연구에서는 실리카 원으로 tetraethylorthosilcate(TEOS)를 이용하고, template로 cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTMABr)을 사용하여 메조포러스 실리카(mesoporous silica)를 수열합성 하였다. 최적의 합성 조건을 알기 위해 template와 실리카의 몰비를 조절하였다. 메조포러스 실리카의 표면 성질과 구조는 XRD, SEM 그리고 BET를 이용하여 살펴보았다. 비표면적($S_{BET}$), 전체 기공부피(V$_T$), 그리고 평균 기공지름(D$_{BJH}$)을 포함하는 N$_2$ 등온 흡착 특성은 BET식을 이용하여 확인하였다. 또한, 메조포러스 실리카의 Pb(II)와 Cd(II)의 흡착 특성은 Zeta potential과 ICP를 이용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과, N$_2$ 등온 흡착으로부터 S$_{BET}$는 100$\sim$1,500 m$^2$/g이었으며, 평균 기공 크기는 2$\sim$4 nm이었다. 메조포러스 실리카의 Pb이온과 Cd이온의 흡착 특성은 용액의 pH변화에 의존하였고, 기존의 흡착제인 실리카겔보다 더 좋은 흡착 거동을 보였다.

This present was carried out to evaluate the adaptability of stabilization method which was used industrial byproducts as the stabilization agency in the abandoned mine site. In order to investigate stabilization effect on As-contaminated soils treated by industrial by-products, batch tests and column tests were carried out with As-contaminated soils collected from farmland around the abandoned mine site. ZVI(zero valent iron) and SRS(steel refining slag) was shown a good treatment effect. After the column test, sequential extraction test and simple bioavailability extraction test(SBET) were carried out to analysis of the soil, and scanning electron micrograph(SEM) analysis was carried out to compare the morphology and structure of ZVI and SRS before and after reacting with arsenic in the soil. As a result, ZVI and SRS were shown 93%, 62% reduction of As concentration respectively by comparison with untreated soils. Therefore, if ZVI and SRS are used as treatment materials in As-contaminated soils, it is expected that the As leaching from soils is reduced effectively.

BACKGROUND: Mining activities, smelter discharges, and sludges are the major sources of heavy metal contamination to soils. The objective of this study was to determine the efficiency of magnetite and bottom ash derived from coal ash in remediating As-contaminated soil. METHODS AND RESULTS: An incubation experiment was conducted for 10 weeks. Magnetite and bottom ash at different rates and ratios were applied to each plastic bottle repacked with 1,000 g of dried As-contaminated soil. After 3-weeks of incubation, the concentrations of available As were measured by using Mehlich-3, SBET, and sequential extraction methods. All of the subjected soil amendments resulted in significant decreases in available As concentration compared to the controls. The addition of magnetite at the highest rate was the best to stabilize As in the soils; however, the values of As concentration varied with the extraction methods. CONCLUSION(S): To ensure the stabilization accuracy of heavy metals in soil, both single and sequential extractions are recommended. The magnetite derived from fly coal ash can also be applicable as a heavy metal stabilizer for the As-contaminated soil.
