Pistachio shell (Pistacia vera) (PS), a low-cost material, has been utilized for the removal of the Cr(VI) ions after treatment with citric acid. Batch experimental steps were applied to obtain Cr(VI) ion adsorption details for the equilibrium between Cr(VI) and modified pistachio shell (MPS). The influences of contact time, pH, adsorbent dose and initial chromium concentration on the adsorption performance of MPS was investigated in detail. The results displayed that adsorption of Cr(VI) by MPS reached to equilibrium after 2 h and after that a little change of Cr(VI) removal efficiency was observed. The sorption percent is higher at lower pH and lower chromium concentration. Two possible mechanisms for reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) can be suggested in Cr(VI) removal. In the first mechanism, Cr(VI) is reduced to Cr(III) by surface electron-donor groups of the adsorbent and the reduced Cr(III) forms complexes with adsorbent or remains in the solution. This Cr(III) is not adsorbed by adsorbent at pH 1.8. But in second mechanism, the adsorption-coupled reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) occurred on the adsorbent sites. The equilibrium sorption capacity of Cr(VI) ion after 2 h was 64.35 mg/g for MPS.

견 피브로인 섬유에 의한 Cr(VI)의 흡착 특성을 분석하였다. Cr(VI)의 흡착평형은 초기 흡착속도에 큰 영향을 받고 있으며 평형흡착량의 52% 정도에 이르고 있다. 견 피브로인 섬유에 의한 Cr(VI)의 흡착은 크롬염의 산화반응을 일으키는 산성의 pH 범위에서 흡착량이 증가한다. Cr(VI)의 흡착온도에 대한 엔탈피($\Delta$H)의 변화는 39.7KJ.mol-1로 얻어졌다. 이것은 Cr(VI)의 흡착이 착제 화학적 반응이라는 것을 의미하며 IR 스펙트럼의 결과에서도 아미드 형 카르보닐의 배위에 의한 착물형성이 확인되었다. 또한, 견 피브로인 섬유의 크롬 흡착처리에서 물성의 과도한 저하를 고려한 조건은 온도 5$0^{\circ}C$ pH 2.4, 3시간의 처리가 적당하고 5 X 10-3M의 농도에서 흡착평형에 도달하였다.

The binding of heavy metals by a biosorbent with binary functional groups was mathematically modeled. An FT-IR spectrophotometer analysis was employed to determine the stoichiometry between the protons in the functional groups of alginic acid and lead ions as a model system. The results calculated using an equilibrium constant agreed well with the experimental results obtained under various operating conditions, such as pH and metal ion concentration. It was also shown that the overall adsorption phenomenon of alginic acid was mainly due to its carboxyl groups. The equilibrium constants for each functional group successfully predicted the lead adsorption of ${\alpha}$-cellulose. Furthermore, the biosorption model could predict the adsorption phenomena of two metal ions, lead ions and calcium ions, relatively.

Equilibrium concentrations of major elements in an underground repository with a capacity of 100,000 drums have been simulated using the geochemical computer code (EQMOD). The simulation has been carried out at the conditions of pH 12 to 13.5, and Eh 520 and -520 mV. Solubilities of magnesium and calcium decrease with the increase of pH. The solubility of iron increases with pH at Eh -520 mV of reducing environment while it almost entirely exists as the precipitate of Fe(OH)$_3$(s) at Eh 520 mV of oxidizing environment. All of cobalt and nickel are predicted to be dissolved in the liquid phase regardless of pH since the solubility limit is greater than the total concentration. In the case of cesium and strontium, all forms of both ions are present in the liquid phase because they have negligible sorption capacity on cement and large solubility under disposal atmosphere. And thus the total concentration determines the equilibrium concentration. Adsorbed amount of iodide and carbonate are dependent on adsorption capacity and adsorption equilibrium constant. Especially, the calcite turns out to be a solubility-limiting phase on the carbonate system. In order to validate the model, the equilibrium concentrations measured for a number of systems which consist of iron, cement, synthetic groundwater and radionuclides are compared with those predicted by the model. The concentrations between the model and the experiment of nonadsorptive elements cesium, strontium, cobalt nickel and iron, are well agreed. It indicates that the assumptions and the thermodynamic data in this work are valid. Using the adsorption equilibrium constant as a free parameter, the experimental data of iodide and carbonate have been fitted to the model. The model is in a good agreement with the experimental data of the iodide system.

A molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) using (+)catechin ((+)C) as a template and acrylamide (AM) as a functional monomer was prepared. Acetonitrile was used as the porogen with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the crosslinker and 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) as the initiator. The adsorption isotherms in the MIP were measured and the parameters of the equilibrium isotherms were estimated by linear and nonlinear regression analyses. The linear equation for original concentration and adsorpted concentrations was then expressed, and the adsorption equilibrium data were correlated into Langmuir, Freundlich, quadratic, and Langmuir Extension isotherm models. The mixture compounds of (+)C and epicatechin (EC) show competitive adsorption on specific binding sites of the (+)catechin-MIP. The adsorption concentrations of (+)C, epicatechin (EC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), on the (+)catechin-molecular imprinted polymer were compared. Through the analysis, the (+)catechin-molecular imprinted polymer showed higher adsorption ability than blank polymer which was synthesized molecular imprinted polymer without (+)catechin. Furthermore, the competitive Langmuir isotherms were applied to the mixture compounds of (+)C and EC.

Treatment of water hyacinth with sulphuric acid produces carbonaceous materials that have been used to remove Cu(II) and Cd (II) ions from aqueous solutions. Untreated water hyacinth was also used for the subject of comparison. The textural properties of the carbonaceous materials were determined from nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. The optimum pH for the sorption of Cu (II) and Cd (II) ions on the investigated sorbents was determined. Dynamic adsorption measurements have been taken at 298 K whereas equilibrium measurements were carried out at 298, 313 and 323 K. The adsorption of nitrogen at 77 K on the untreated sample was too low and the surface areas of the treated samples 2, 3 and 4 were found between $70-208\;m^2/g$. The total pore volumes of these samples which were determined for the carbonaceous materials investigated were found to be 0.076-0.140 ml/g. The kinetic adsorption data of Cu (II) and Cd(II) were applicable to both pseudo - first and pseudo-second order but fit more the latter order. The equilibrium adsorption data were found to fit Freundlich and Langmiur equations. The values of DG, DH and DS are all negative indicating the feasibility and the spontaneous nature of the sorption of Cu (II) and Cd (II) ions by the sorbents investigated.

활성탄을 사용하여 수용액으로부터 메틸 그린 염료의 흡착에 대해 초기농도와 접촉시간 및 온도를 흡착변수로 사용하여 조사하였다. 흡착평형관계는 Freundlich 등온식에 잘 맞았다. 평가된 Freundlich 분리계수(1/n = 0.212~0.305)로부터 이 흡착공정이 효과적인 처리영역(0 < $R_L$ < 1)에 속하는 것을 알았다. BET식으로부터 얻은 등온포화용량은 온도가 증가할수록 커졌다. Dubinin-Radushkevich식으로 구한 흡착에너지값(E = 316.869~340.049 J/mol)으로부터 흡착공정이 물리흡착공정임을 알았다. 흡착속도실험결과는 유사 2차 반응속도식에 잘 맞는 것으로 나타났다. 자유에너지(-5.421~-7.889 kJ/mol)와 엔탈피(31.915 kJ/mol)는 흡착공정이 자발적이고 흡열반응으로 진행되었다고 알려주었다. 등량흡착열은 평형흡착량이 증가함에 따라 커졌으며, 표면 덮임이 증가됨에 따라 흡착제-흡착질의 총 상호작용도 증가하였다.

연속식 흡착장치를 사용하여 산처리로 세공구조를 변화시킨 Zeolite 5A의 toluene vapor 평형흡착량과 흡착제의 세공직경에 따른 표면적과의 상관관계를 고찰하였다. 산처리에 의해 미세세공이 형성되기도 하지만 기존 미세세공의 직경이 점차 확대되었으며, 산의 농도가 높을수록 미세세공이 중간세공 이상으로의 변화가 많았다. 산처리한 Zeolite 5A의 toluene vapor 평형흡착량은 $15{\sim}\;mg/g70$ 사이였고 산처리에 의해 평형흡착량이 약 5배까지 증가하였으며, toluene vapor는 주로 직경 $15\;{\AA}$ 이상의 세공 표면적에 비교적 잘 흡착되는 것으로 판단되었다. Toluene vapor 평형흡착량과 총 누적표면적(total cumulative surface area)은 상관관계가 없었으며, 직경 $15\;{\AA}$ 이상의 누적표면적과는 가장 높은 상관관계(0.997)를 나타내었다.

Chemically activated and carbonized adsorbents were prepared from Moringa oleifera pod husks (MOP), characterized and evaluated for their ability to remove a common antibiotic - ofloxacin (OFX) from aqueous solution. The pulverized precursor was steeped in a saturated ammonium chloride solution for a day to give the chemically activated adsorbent (AMOP). A portion of AMOP was pyrolyzed in a muffle furnace at 623 K for 30 min to furnish its carbonized analogue (CMOP). The adsorbents showed favorable physicochemical attributes. The effects of operational parameters such as initial OFX solution pH and concentration, adsorbent dosage, temperature and contact time on OFX removal were investigated. At equilibrium, optimal removal efficiencies of 90.98% and 99.84% were achieved at solution pH 5 for AMOP and CMOP, respectively. The equilibrium adsorption data fitted into both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Gibbs free energy change (${\Delta}G^o$), enthalpy change (${\Delta}H^o$) and entropy change (${\Delta}S^o$) indicated that the adsorption of OFX was feasible, spontaneous, exothermic and occurred via the physisorption mode. Adsorption kinetics obeyed the Blanchard pseudo-second-order model. The results may find applications in the adsorptive removal of micro-contaminants of pharmaceutical origin from wastewater.

폐수로 부터 유독한 말라카이트 그린 성분을 제거하는데 있어서 제올라이트의 활용가능성을 살펴보았다. 흡착실험은 298, 308 및 318 K에서 수행하였으며, 흡착에 대한 온도, 접촉시간과 초기농도의 영향을 조사하였다. 흡착자료를 기초로 Langmuir와 Freundlich 흡착등온식에 대한 적합성을 평가하였다. 흡착공정은 Freundlich 흡착등온식이 잘 맞았으므로 제올라이트 표면의 불균일한 에너지에 의해 선택적인 흡착이 이루어짐을 알았다. 계산된 흡착등온선의 상수 값으로부터 제올라이트에 의해서 말라카이트 그린의 효과적인 처리가 가능하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 동력학적 실험으로부터, 흡착공정은 유사이차반응속도식에 잘 맞으며, 속도상수($k_2$) 값은 말라카이트 그린의 초기농도가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 활성화에너지, 엔탈피, 엔트로피 및 자유에너지변화와 같은 열역학 파라미터들은 흡착공정의 특성을 평가하기 위하여 조사하였다. 활성화에너지의 계산값은 제올라이트에 대한 말라카이트 그린의 흡착이 물리적 공정임을 나타냈다. 자유에너지변화값(${\Delta}G^{\circ}$ = -6.47~-9.07 kJ/mol)과 엔탈피변화값(${\Delta}H^{\circ}$ = +32.414 kJ/mol)은 흡착공정이 298~318 K 범위에서 자발적이고 흡열과정이라는 것을 나타냈다.
