Ca계 및 Na계 탈황제를 대상으로 열중량 분석실험과 승온탈리 실험을 수행하여 탈황제의 열적안정성, 집진기 전단 온도인 $250^{\circ}C$에서 탈황 성능, 그리고 상온에서 흡수용량 등을 비교하여 아래와 같은 결론을 도출하였다. 소석회($Ca(OH)_2$)는 약 $390^{\circ}C$에서 열 분해되기 시작하여 480~$500^{\circ}C$에 이르면 완전하게 분해되었다. 열분해 결과 생성된 생석회(CaO)의 무게는 최초 소석회 무게의 76%로 감소하였다. 중탄산나트륨($NaHCO_3$)은 약 $95^{\circ}C$에서부터 분해되기 시작하여 $190^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서 완전하게 분해되어 처음 도입된 중탄산나트륨 무게와 비교하여 약 63%로 감소하였다. $250^{\circ}C$에서 실시한 열중량 분석 결과, 무수탄산나트륨($Na_2CO_3$)의 경우에는 탈황제 무게의 35%에 해당하는 $SO_2$를 흡수할 수 있고, 생석회는 15.6%, 소석회는 6.5%까지 $SO_2$를 흡수할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. $250^{\circ}C$에서 초기반응 속도를 비교하면, Ca계 탈황제의 경우에는 초기 미반응 시간이 있는 반면에 Na계 탈황제인 무수탄산나트륨에서는 이러한 초기 미반응 시간이 없어, Ca계 반응제의 경우보다 Na계 탈황제의 경우에 $SO_2$와 더 빠른 반응이 진행되었다. 상온에서 실시한 승온탈리 실험 결과, Na계인 무수탄산나트륨보다는 Ca계인 소석회가 더 많은 $SO_2$를 흡수하였다. 따라서 저온에서는 Ca계인 소석회가 적절하고 고온에서는 무수탄산나트륨이 더 적절한 탈황제인 것으로 판단된다.

연소 후 이산화탄소 포집용 고속 유동층 공정에서 사용되는 흡수제를 대량생산할 때, 흡수제 강도를 위해 여러 가지 물질을 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 흡수제 설계시 사용하는 물질 중 하나인 Micro-cell C (MCC)를 사용하여 $K_2CO_3$ 기반 건식 흡수제(KMC)를 제조하였고, 흡수 및 재생 특성을 평가하였다. 흡수반응은 $60^{\circ}C$에서 실험하였고, 재생반응은 $200^{\circ}C$에서 실험하였다. KMC 흡수제의 연속실험 결과, 1 cycle임에도 불구하고 이론흡수능(95.4 mg $CO_2/g$ sorbent)의 약 22%인 21.6 mg $CO_2/g$ sorbent의 낮은 흡수능을 나타내었고, 5 cycle에서는 13.7 mg $CO_2/g$ sorbent의 낮은 흡수능을 나타내었다. XRD 및 TG 분석결과, MCC에 함유된 Ca계 성분으로 인해 제조 및 흡수 과정에서 부반응 물질인 $K_2Ca(CO_3)_2$ 구조가 생성됨에 따라 흡수제가 비활성화된 것을 확인하였다. 또한 흡수제 비활성화 문제를 해결하기 위해, MCC를 $850^{\circ}C$에서 먼저 소성하는 과정을 추가하여 흡수제(KM8)를 제조하였다. KM8 흡수제는 1 cycle에서 95.2 mg $CO_2/g$ sorbent의 높은 흡수능을 나타낼 뿐만 아니라 5 cycle 동안 우수한 재생성을 나타내었다. 따라서 소성단계를 추가함으로써 부반응 원인물질 제거방법을 통해 흡수제의 비활성화를 해결할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The high temperature pleated filter bags which were used during this study were made of pleated nonwoven fabric of heat and acid resistant polysulfonate fibers which can withstand the heat up to $300^{\circ}C$ and have a filtration area which is 3 to 5 times larger than the conventional round filter bags. Cartridge module packed with 3 kind of the sulfur impregnated activated-carbon based sorbents were inserted in the inner of the pleated filter bag. This type of pleated filter bag was designed to remove not only the particulate matter but also the gaseous elemental mercury. The electrostatic precipitator part can enhance the particulate removal efficiency and reduce the pressure drop of the pleated filter bag by agglomerated particles to form a more porous dust layer on the surface of the pleated bag which is increased the filter bag cleaning efficiency. In addition, the most of particles are separated from the flue gas stream through the cyclone and the electrostatic precipitator part which were installed at the lower part and main body part of the convergence particulate collector, respectively. Thus reduce particulate loading of the high temperature pleated filter bags were applied in this study to analyze the removal characteristics of particulate matter and gaseous elemental mercury.

The following study describes the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) based screening and confirmation analysis of urinary androgenic steroids. Four commercially available solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges, Serdolit PAD-1, Sep-pak $C_{18}$, amino-propyl, and Oasis HLB, and three different extractive organic solvents, diethyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), and n-pentane, were tested for sample preparation. Overall, Oasis HLB combined with MTBE extraction provided the highest recoveries in 39 of 46 total androgenic steroids examined and it showed a good extraction yield (>82.1%) for polar steroids, such as metabolites of fluoxymesterone, oxandrolone, and stanozolol, which gave a poor recovery in both n-pentane (9.2-64.3%) and diethyl ether (22.2-73.6%) extractions. All SPE sorbents tested showed potential, because they were efficient in extraction for most or selective steroids. When applied to positive urine samples based on the results obtained, the present method allowed selective and sensitive analysis for detection of urinary androgenic steroids. The experiments showed that the high-resolution MS method is clearly more efficient than the low-resolution MS technique for the detection of many urinary steroids. However, comprehensive sample clean-up procedures also might be needed especially in confirmation analysis to increase detectability.

In this study, electrokinetic remediation equipment was used to remove cesium (Cs) from clay soil and waste solution was treated with sorption process. The influence of electrokinetic process on the removal of Cs was evaluated under the condition of applied electric voltage of 15.0-20.0 V. In addition to monitoring the Cs removal, electrical current and temperature of the electrolyte during experiment were investigated. The removal efficiency of Cs from soil by electrokinetic method was more than 90%. After electrokinetic remediation, Cs was selectively separated from soil waste solution using sorbents. Various adsorption agents such as potassium nickel hexacyanoferrate (KNiHCF), Prussian blue, sodium tetraphenylborate (NaTPB), and zeolite were compared and KNiHCF showed the highest Cs removal efficiency. The Cs adsorption on KNiHCF reached equilibrium in 30 min. The maximum adsorption capacity was 120.4 mg/g at 0.1 g/L of adsorbent dosage. These results demonstrated that our proposed process combined electrokinetic remediation of soil and waste solution treatment with metal ferrocyanide can be a promising technique to decontaminate Cs-contaminated fine soil.

The objective of this study is to investigate the waste recycling possibility, practicability, economic efficiency and acid gas sorbent use of the hard-shelled mussel. This study is to investigate the hydration/calcination reaction and fixed bed reactor. The physical-chemical characteristics of the hard-shelled mussel were analyzed by ICP SEM-EDX, BET and pore volume. Thus, the results could be summarized as follows; Hard-shelled mussel can be used as iron-manufacture and chemical sorbents considering more than 53.7% of the mussel is lime content. The SO$_2$removal efficiency of the hard-shelled mussel after calcined hydration increased thirty times as a result of the higher pore size, specific surface area and pore volume. Also, the CaO content, pore volume, pore size distribution and specific surface area greatly influenced the SO$_2$ and NOx removal reactivity. The optimum particle diameter average of hard-shelled mussel was $\pm$100 mesh, which was applied to the sorbent on the medium/small scale waste incinerator and flue gas desulfurization processes.

Natural zeolites have exhibited high sorption capacity for inorganic cations including heavy metals and ammonium. Moreover, they were proven to be effective for environmental applications such as permeable barriers for controlling the spread of cation-contaminated groundwater. However zeolites have little or no affinity for anionic species like chromium, as they possess a net negative structural charge. To achieve the simultaneous sorption for anionic contaminants, surfactant-modified zeolite (SMZ) has been employed as the possible sorbents. Current study focuses on simultaneous removal of heavy metals having different ionic form in aqueous solution, cadmium (C $d^{2+}$) and chromium (Cr $O_{4}$$^{2-}$), using newly developed materials, ZanF. ZanF, a potential alternative to SMZ, was derived from zeolite modified by Fe(II) chloride followed by reduction with sodium borohydride. Batch experiments were performed to estimate the removal efficiency of ZanF at different conditions. Under different pH ranging from 2 to 6, removal efficiency was investigated. And C $d^{2+}$ removal efficiency was estimated by varying background concentration of Cr $O_{4}$$^{2-}$, and vice versa. With the test results, ZanF was expected to be a possible reactive materials alternative to SMZ in permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) for treating the contaminated groundwater with cationic and anionic heavy metals.als.

The effectiveness of in situ sediment capping as a technique for heavy metal risk mitigation in Hyeongsan River estuary, South Korea was studied. Sites in the estuary were found previously to show moderate to high levels of contamination of mercury, methylmercury and other heavy metals. A 400 m x 50 m section of the river was selected for a thin layer capping demonstration, where the total area was divided into 4 sections capped with different combinations of capping materials (zeolite, AC/zeolite, AC/sand, zeolite/sand). Pore water concentrations in the different sites were studied using diffusive gradient in thin film (DGT) probes. All capping amendments showed reduction in the pore water concentration of the different heavy metals with top 5 cm showing %reduction greater than 90% for some heavy metals. The relative maxima for the different metals were found to be translated to lower depths with addition of the caps. For two-layered cap with AC, order of placement should be considered since AC can easily be displaced due to its relatively low density. Investigation of methylmercury (MeHg) in the site showed that MeHg and %MeHg in pore water corresponds well with maxima for sulfide, Fe and Mn suggesting mercury methylation as probably coupled with sulfate, Fe and Mn reduction in sediments. Our results showed that thin-layer capping of active sorbents AC and zeolite, in combination with passive sand caps, are potential remediation strategy for sediments contaminated with heavy metals.

Biocarrier beads with dead biomass, Bacillus drentensis, immobilized in polymer polysulfone were synthesized to remove heavy metals from wastewater. To identify the sorption mechanisms and theoretical nature of underlying processes, a series of batch experiments were carried out and a mathematical model was developed to quantify the biosorption of Pb(II) by the biocarrier beads. A series of mass balance equations for representing mass transfer of metal sorbents in biocarrier beads and surrounding solution were established. Major model parameters such as external mass transfer coefficient and maximum sorption capacity, etc. were determined from pseudo-first-order kinetic models and Langmuir isotherm model based on kinetic and equilibrium experimental measurements. The model simulation displays reasonable representations of experimental data and implied that the proposed model can be applied to quantitative analysis on biosorption mechanisms by porous granular beads. The simulation results also confirms that the biosorption of heavy metal by the biocarrier beads largely depended on surface adsorption.
