For the adsorption of ammonia, activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were subjected to sulfuric acid treatment in order to modify the surface functional groups. The surface acid and base value of ACFs were measured using titration and FT-IR spectrometry. SEM was used to investigate the surface morphology. Acid treatments by $H_3PO_4$, $H_2SO_4$, and $HNO_3$ were performed to increase the adsorption capacity of $NH_3$. As a result, Cellulose-based ACF has high adsorption capacity for ammonia. The ammonia removal efficiency of ACF was the maximum which was treated by 15 wt% sulfuric acid at $100^{\circ}C$ for 60 min. The average pore diameter little increased from $19{\AA}$ to $20.8{\AA}$ and the specific surface area of ACF considerably decreased and acid values increased by 15 wt% sulfuric acid treatment. Ammonia reacted with sulfonyl radicals. After adsorption of ammonia, white material was grown on the surface of ACF through the adsorption of ammonia and it was determined to ammonium sulfate.

The adsorption characteristics of ammonia on MSWI bottom ash were investigated. The effect of the variation of the landfill environmental parameters including pH, anions and organic matter on the adsorption process was discussed. Results showed that the adsorption could be well described by pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 156.2 mg/g. The optimum adsorption of ammonia was observed when the pH was 6.0. High level of ion and organic matter could restrict the adsorption to a low level. The above results suggested that MSWI bottom ash could affect the migration of ammonia in the landfill, which is related to the variation of the landfill circumstance.

The pH of coconut based activated carbon was changed by treating with NaOH and HNO3 and we have calculated the adsorption amounts of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and methylmercaptan on the activated carbons using the break-through time which was obtained from break-through curve experiments. As a result of this study, the adsorption amounts of ammonia Has on the activated carbons were 2,6 mg/g, 17.2 mg/g and 31.6 mg/g with the pH 11, pH 7 and pH 3, respectively. These results indicated that the adsorption ability of ammonia on activated carbon was increased with decreasing the pH of activated carbon. Otherwise, in the cases of the adsorption experiment of hydrogen sulfide and methylmercaptan on the activated carbons with different pH. the activated carbon with pH 11 showed higher adsorption capacity than the activated carbons with pH 7 and pH 3. The adsorption amounts of hydrogen sulfide and methylmercaptan were 39.9 mg/g and 178 mg/g with pH 11, respectively. Finally, we analyzed the amount of ammonia delivered from 88 Lights cigarette made of triple filter which contained the activated carbon. The amount of ammonia delivered to smoke from the filter cigarette containing the activated carbon with pH 3 was 45.1${\mu}g$/cig. This value was lower 23.8 % than that from the activated carbon with the pH 11.

A zeolite material (ZCH) was synthesized from coal fly ash in an HD thermal power plant using a fusion/hydrothermal method. ZCH with high crystallinity could be synthesized at the NaOH/CFA ratio of 0.9. Ion-exchanged ZCH adsorbents for ammonia removal were prepared by ion-exchanging various cation (Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Fe³⁺, and Mn²⁺) on the ZCH. They were used to evaluate the ammonia adsorption breakthrough curves and adsorption capacities. The ammonia adsorption capacities of the ZCH and ion-exchanged ZCHs were high in the order of Mn-ZCH > Cu-ZCH ≅ Co-ZCH > Fe-ZCH > ZCH according to NH₃-TPD measurements. Mn-ZCH ion-exchanged with Mn has more Brønsted acid sites than other adsorbents. The ion-exchanged Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Fe³⁺, or Mn²⁺ ions uniformly distributed on the surface or in the pores of the ZCH, and the number of acidic sites increased on the alumina sites to form the crystal structure of zeolite material. Therefore, when the ion-exchanged ZCH was used, the adsorption capacity for ammonia gas increased.

수소가 청정 에너지 원으로서의 중요성이 증가하면서 수소의 생산원인 암모니아 기체가 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나 암모니아가 금속을 잘 부식시키고 유독성을 가지고 있기 때문에 암모니아의 저장과 운반을 가능하게 하는 흡착제의 연구가 다각도로 진행되고 있다. 이 중 공유결합 유기구조 물질(covalent organic framework)의 하나인 COF-10은 붕소를 포함한 큰 기공을 가진 물질이다. 암모니아 흡착과정에서 COF-10의 구조 안에 있는 붕소는 루이스 산으로 작용하여 암모니아와 강한 결합을 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 COF-10을 합성하여 BET, XRD, FT-IR을 통해 구조를 확인한다. 또한 TPD와 등온 흡착 실험을 통해 실제 암모니아의 흡착능력에 대한 분석을 진행하였다. COF-10는 9.79 mmol/g으로 우수한 암모니아 흡착 능력을 보였으며 암모니아 흡착제로서 활용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 축산 분야에서 배출되는 암모니아를 효과적으로 회수할 수 있는 흡착기술의 연구개발 동향 및 향후 전략에 대해 논의하였다. 적절한 암모니아 흡착제는 표면의 산성기나 수소결합기를 가지며 높은 비표면적과 암모니아 흡착에 적절한 표면구조를 지니어야 한다. 일반적인 암모니아 흡착제로는 활성탄이나 제올라이트 등의 광물질이 널리 쓰이나 대체로 흡착효과가 낮아 표면 개질 등을 통한 개선이 필요하다. 일례로 금속염화물이 다공성 흡착제에 포함되었을 때, 활성탄이나 제올라이트의 표면에 흡착 시보다 암모니아 흡착량이 더 증가하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근에는 MOFs (Metal-Organic Frameworks)나 POPs (Porous Organic Polymers) 같은 새로운 종류의 흡착제가 개발 및 적용되고 있으며 조절가능한 높은 비표면적과 다공성으로 매우 높은 암모니아 흡착용량을 보였다. 그 외에 프러시안 블루가 높은 암모니아 흡탈착성능 및 선택성을 보였는데. 이는 축산폐기물 배출 암모니아 회수에 관련하여 상대적으로 유리한 측면으로 보인다. 향후 다양한 흡착제를 이용, 축산현장에 맞는 조건에서 암모니아 흡탈착 효율 및 순도를 평가하는 연구가 더 활발히 진행되어야 할 것이다. 아울러 암모니아 회수를 극대화하기 위한 효과적인 전/후처리 공정도 병행되어야 한다.

This study aimed to obtain equilibrium concentration on adsorption removal of ammonia nitrogen by activated carbon, to express the adsorption characteristics following Freundlich isotherm and also, based on the value obtained, to investigate the relationship between physical characteristics of activated carbon and dynamics of ammonia nitrogen removal by obtaining rate constant and effective pore diffusivity. The results summarized from this study are as follows. It was noted that powdered activated carbon showed better adsorption ability than granular activated carbon. The value of constant (f) of Freundlich isotherm of powered activated carbon was $4.6{\times}10^{-8}$ which is bigger than that of granular activated carbon. The adsorption rate constant on ammonia nitrogen of powered activated carbon with high porosity and low effective diameter was highest as 0.416 hr-1 and the effective pore diffusivity ($D_e$) was lowest as $1.17{\times}10^{-6}cm^2/hr$, and the value of ammonia nitrogen adsorption rate constant of granular activated carbon was $0.149{\sim}0.195hr^{-1}$. It was revealed that, with the same amount of dosage, the adsorptive power of activated carbon with lower effective diameter and bigger porosity was better and its rate constant was also high. With a little adsorbent dosage of 2 g, there was no difference removal ability of ammonia nitrogen as change of adsorption properties.

The potential energy surfaces of ammonia molecule adsorptions on the symmetrically chlorinated Si(100)-$2{\times}1$ surface were explored with SIMOMM:MP2/6-31G(d). It was found that the initial nucleophilic attack by ammonia nitrogen to the surface Si forms a $S_N2$ type transition state, which eventually leads to an HCl molecular desorption. The second ammonia molecule adsorption requires much less reaction barrier, which can be rationalized by the surface cooperative effect. In general, it was shown that the surface Si-Cl bonds can be easily subjected to the substitution reactions by ammonia molecules yielding symmetric surface Si-$NH_2$ bonds, which can be a good initial template for subsequent surface chemical modifications. The ammonia adsorptions are in general more facile than the corresponding water adsorption, since ammonia is better nucleophile.

BACKGROUND: Generally, ammonia occurs from agricultural waste disposal. Ammonia is known as a harmful substance to the human body and has a bad influence such as eutrophication on the ecosystem. It is possible to remove the ammonia by ammonia adsorption method using natural zeolite, without external influence. However, due to the natural zeolite shape, it is hard to reuse. METHODS AND RESULTS: Electrospinning method can produce fiber with constant diameter. Moreover, electrospinning method has no limitation for selecting the material to make the fiber, and thus, it is valuable to reform the surface of adsorbent. In this study, reusable membrane was made by electrospinning method. The highest removal efficiency was shown from the membrane with 20% of zeolite included, and it has been verified that it is possible to reuse the membrane through chemical treatment. The highest ammonia removal efficiency was about 92.4%. CONCLUSION: In this study, ammonia adsorption characteristics of zeolite fibers were studied. Electrospinning method can produce zeolite fiber with even distribution. Ammonia can be removed efficiently from ion exchange ability of the natural zeolite. The result of adsorption isotherm indicated that both Freundlich model and Langmuir model provided the best fit for equilibrium data. And study on desorption has demonstrated that the ion exchange from zeolite was reversible when 0.01 M NaCl and KCl solution were used.

정수 슬러지를 재활용하여 제조한 펠렛형 흡착제의 트리메틸아민과 암모니아의 흡착 특성을 연구하였다. 펠렛형 흡착제를 $110^{\circ}C$에서 건조 처리 했을 때보다 $500^{\circ}C$에서 소성했을 때 BET 표면적과 기공 부피가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 정수 슬러지를 재활용하여 제조한 펠렛형 흡착제는 브뢴스테드 산점과 루이스 산점을 보유하는 것을 확인하였다. 흡착질 가스인 트리메틸아민과 암모니아가 일정한 농도로 흡착제 층으로 유입되고, 흡착제의 중량과 흡착질의 선속도를 변화시키면서 흡착질 가스의 파과시간을 측정하였다. Wheeler의 흡착속도식을 사용하여 트리메틸아민과 암모니아의 동적흡착용량과 흡착속도상수를 결정하였다. 동적흡착용량과 흡착속도상수가 흡착질 가스의 선속도에 따라 변화함을 알 수 있었다. 정수 슬러지를 재활용하여 제조한 펠렛형 흡착제 상에서, 다양한 흡착조건에서 트리메틸아민과 암모니아의 파과시간을 예측하기 위한 실험식을 도출하였다.
