The crystallization behavior and fine structure of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/A-zeolite nanocomposites were assessed via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering (TR-SAXS). The Avrami exponent increased from 3.5 to approximately 4.5 with increasing A-zeolite contents, thereby indicating a change in crystal growth formation. The rate constant, k, evidenced an increasing trend with increases in A-zeolite contents. The SAXS data revealed morphological changes occurring during isothermal crystallization. As the zeolite content increased, the long period and amorphous region size also increased. It has been suggested that, since PET molecules passed through the zeolite pores, some of them are rejected into the amorphous region, thereby resulting in increased amorphous region size and increased long period, respectively. In addition, as PET chains piercing into A-zeolite pores cannot precipitate perfect crystal folding, imperfect crystals begin to melt at an earlier temperature, as was revealed by the SAXS profiles obtained during heating. However, the spherulite size was reduced with increasing nanofiller content, because impingement between adjacent spherulites in the nanocomposite occurs earlier than that of homo PET, due to the increase in nucleating sites.

Introduction : Membranes made from inorganic materials are generally superior to organo-polymeric materials in thermal and mechanical stability, and chemical resistance. Among inorganic materials zeolite is a promising candidate for a high performance membrane because of the unique characteristics of zeolite crystals such as molecular sieving, ion exchange, selective adsorption and catalysis. Although there are many recent reportsl on the preparation of zeolitc membranes and the gas permeation through the membranes, only a limited number of publications deal with pervaporation studies. Recently, we have reported a high pervaporation performance of NaA zeolite membrane for the separation of water/organic liquid mixtures. and of NaY zeolite menlbrane for the separation of methanol/MTBE. Here, preparation of zeolite (LTA, ZSM-5 and FAU) membranes and their permeation properties are discussed.

Zeolite 5A 촉매에서 $H_2$, CO, $CO_2$에 대한 단성분 및 혼합성분의 흡착평형 실험을 정적부피법에 의해 수행하였다. 실험 데이타는 온도범위 293.15 K, 303.15 K, 313.15 K이고, 압력범위는 25 atm까지로 하여 얻었다. 각각의 파라미터들은 단성분 실험을 통해 얻었고, 이를 통해 혼합성분의 흡착 평형을 예측하였으며 실험값과 비교하였다. Zeolite 5A 에서의 $H_2/CO_2$, $CO/CO_2$ 혼합가스의 흡착평형 실험 결과는 Langmuir isotherm, Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm and Dual-Site Langmuir isotherm을 이용해 예측하였다. 그 결과 Dual-Site Langmuir isotherm모델이 가장 유사한 예측을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to solve the problem of nutrient removal due to rapid hydraulic retention time (HRT) variation in small size private sewage treatment facility and to have better effluent quality by using natural zeolite as a coagulant aid. The experiments were conducted by applying different conditions of HRT, coagulant, and zeolite dosages. As an experimental result, $TBOD_{5}$, TSS, and TP removal efficiencies were 64.9%, 94.5%, and 98.8% at co-injection with zeolite. Overall removal efficiencies of $TBOD_{5}$, TSS, and TP have improved 15.7, 28.7, 6.1%, respectively. This result shows that zeolite addition could improve flocculation, increase setting velocity, and thus have better treatment. Therefore the use of zeolite as a coagulant aid can be useful in small size private sewage treatment facility, where especially extra nutrient removal is required to meet the legal standard for discharge.

Adsorption and heterogeneous electro-Fenton process using iron-loaded ZSM-5 nano-zeolite were investigated for the removal of Tetracycline (TC) from wastewater. The nano-zeolite was synthesized hydrothermally and modified through impregnation. The zeolite was characterized by XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, N₂ adsorption-desorption, and NH₃-TPD techniques. The equilibrium data were best represented by the Freundlich isotherm. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model was the most accurate model for the adsorption of TC on the modified nano-zeolite. The effect of parameters such as pH of solution and current density were investigated for the heterogeneous electro-Fenton process. The results showed that the current density of 150 mA and pH of 3 led to the highest TC removal (90.35%) at 50 min. The nano-zeolite showed the appropriate reusability. Furthermore, the developed kinetic model was in good agreement with the removal data of TC through the electro-Fenton process.

The aim of this study was to investigate the bio-adsorption using modified zeolite with Mg (Mg-zeolite) in the dyeing wastewater treatment. Mg-zeolite adsorbed successfully 100% of the color, suspended solid (SS). chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) in the dyeing wastewater at the following optimal Mg-zeolite loading: 20 mg/L for colour, SS, TN and TP, 30 mg/L for BOD and COD. These results indicated that the amount of 1 mg/L Mg-zeolite adsorbed 11.6 mg/L for color, 9.5 mg/L for SS, 45.0 mg/L for COD, 12.7 mg/L for BOD, 0.91 mg/L for TP and 2.25 mg/L for TN. The bio-adsorbent, Mg-zeolite, can be a promising adsorption due to its high efficiency and low dose requirements.

수중의 Sr과 Cs 이온을 제거하기 위하여 폴리술폰(polysulfone, PS)을 이용한 제올라이트 고정화로서 PS-zeolite 비드를 제조하였다. PS-zeolite는 SEM, XRD, FT-IR, TGA를 이용하여 특성 및 구조를 분석하였다. PS-zeolite 비드를 제조하기 위한 최적조건은 PS 1.25 g과 제올라이트 A 2 g이었다. 용액 pH의 증가에 따라 PS-zeolite 비드에 의한 Sr과 Cs 이온의 제거효율은 증가하였지만, pH 4 이상에서 일정하게 되었다. 본 연구에서 제조된 PS-zeolite 비드는 $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$ 및 $Ca^{2+}$와 같은 공존이온이 존재하더라도 Sr과 Cs 이온에 대한 높은 선택도를 나타내었다. 또한, 흡착과정에서 PS-zeolite 비드로부터 제올라이트 입자가 탈리되지 않았으며, PS-zeolite 비드는 SEM 이미지 상에서 구조가 유지되었다. PS-zeolite 비드에 의한 Sr과 Cs의 제거효율은 5회 흡착-탈착 실험을 반복하여도 90% 이상 유지되었다. 본 연구에서는 이 결과로서 PS-zeolite 비드가 Sr과 Cs 이온의 흡착제로서 적용가능하다 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, PS-zeolite는 산업폐수처리를 위한 방사성 이온 제거용 흡착제로서도 적용이 가능할 것이다.
