활성탄에 의해 수용액으로부터 acid blue 40을 흡착하는 과정을 통해 흡착평형, 동력학 및 열역학적 특성을 활성탄 양, pH, 온도, 접촉시간, 초기농도를 함수로 해서 알아내고자 하였다. 활성탄에 대한 acid blue 40의 흡착에 대한 pH별 흡착특성은 Sulfonate ion($SO_3{^-}$)과 amine ion($NH_2{^+}$)의 존재 때문에 pH 3과 pH 11에서 흡착률이 높아지는 욕조현상을 나타내었다. 활성탄에 대한 Acid Blue 40의 흡착평형관계를 흡착등온식에 적용해본 결과 Langmuir 식이 Freundlich 식과 Temkin 식보다 더 잘 맞는 것으로 나타났다. Langmuir 식과 Freundlich 식의 분리계수로 부터 활성탄에 의한 Acid Blue 40의 흡착처리가 유효한 흡착공정이 될 수 있음을 알았다. Temkin 식에 의해 구한 흡착에너지 값으로부터 흡착공정이 물리흡착공정이라는 것을 알았다. 활성탄에 대한 acid blue 40의 흡착공정에 대한 동력학적 해석을 통해 반응속도식의 적용결과는 유사이차반응속도식이 유사일차반응속도식에 비해 일치도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 평가된 활성화 에너지 값은 42.308 kJ/mol이었으며, 엔탈피변화는 80.088 J/mol로 흡열반응의 특성을 가지는 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 자유에너지변화가 -0.0553~-5.5855 kJ/mol로 온도가 올라갈수록 흡착공정의 자발성이 더 높아진다는 것을 알았다.

야자계 입상활성탄에 대한 Brilliant Green의 흡착 평형과 동역학 및 열역학 파라미터들을 다양한 초기농도($300{\sim}500mg\;L^{-1}$), 접촉시간(1 ~ 12 h) 및 흡착온도(303 ~ 323 K)를 변수로 하여 회분식 실험을 통하여 연구하였다. 흡착평형 값들은 Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Harkins-Jura 및 Elovich 식으로 해석하였다. 그 결과는 Langmuir 식에 가장 잘 맞았으며, 평가된 Langmuir 무차원 분리계수 값($R_L=0.018{\sim}0.040$)과 Freundlich 상수값(1/n = 0.176 ~ 0.206)은 활성탄에 의한 Brilliant Green의 흡착이 효과적인 공정임을 보여주었다. Temkin 식에 의해 평가된 흡착열 관련상수($B=12.43{\sim}17.15J\;mol^{-1}$)는 물리흡착에 해당하였다. Harkins-Jura 식에 의한 등온선 매개변수($A_{HJ}$)는 온도가 증가할수록 이종 기공 분포도 증가함을 나타내었고, Elovich 식에 의한 최대흡착용량은 실험값보다 매우 적은 것으로 나타났다. 흡착공정은 유사이차반응속도식에 더 잘 맞았으며, 흡착과정은 입자내 확산이 율속단계였다. 입자내 확산속도 상수는 초기 농도가 커질수록 염료의 운동이 활발해졌기 때문에 증가하였다. 그리고 초기농도가 커질수록 경계층의 영향이 커졌다. Gibbs 자유에너지($-3.46{\sim}-11.35kJ\;mol^{-1}$), 엔탈피($18.63kJ\;mol^{-1}$) 및 활성화에너지($26.28kJ\;mol^{-1}$)는 흡착공정이 자발적이고, 흡열 및 물리흡착임을 나타냈다.

Biosorption represents a technological innovation as well as a cost effective excellent remediation technology for cleaning up radionuclides from aqueous environment. In the present study, a bacteria strain FB12 with high adsorption rate of uranium ion was isolated from the vicinity of the nuclear power plant. It was tentatively identified as Bacillus sp.FB12 according to the 16S rDNA sequencing. Efforts were made to further improve the adsorption rate and genetic stability by UV irradiation and UV-LiCl cooperative mutagenesis. The improved strain named Bacillus sp.UV32 obtains excellent genetic stability and a high adsorption rate of 95.9%. The adsorption of uranium U (VI) by Bacillus sp.UV32 from aqueous solution was examined as a function of metal ion concentration, cell concentration, adsorption time, pH, temperature, and the presence of some foreign ions. The adsorption process of U (VI) was found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. The adsorption isotherm study indicated that it preferably followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The thermodynamic parameters values calculated clearly indicated that the adsorption process was feasible, spontaneous and endothermic in nature. These properties show that Bacillus sp.UV32 has potential application in the removal of uranium (VI) from the radioactive wastewater.

In this study short gain rough rice(Chu-cheong) with initial moisture content of around 12%(w.b.) was exposed to 3 levels of relative humidity(70, 80 and 90%) and 3 levels of temperature(20, 25 and 3$0^{\circ}C$) of the air, in order to evaluate the adsorption characteristics of rough rice and the rate of cracked kernels which will serve as the basic data when developing the quality adjusting equipment. The result showed that the moisture content of rough rice increased rapidly during the early stages of moisture adsorption like other grains, and at least 70% of the adsorption occurred within the first 24 hours of exposure to the humid environment. Adsorption rate was more related to relative humidity than the temperature of air stream, and the higher the relative humidity, the higher the adsorption rate. And the Page's equation predicted best the adsorption process of this study. Experimental results for the crack generation during the adsorption process showed that the higher the relative humidity the more the cracked kernels, and that the temperature had little effect. An empirical equation was developed to predict the crack ratio for the conditions of this study, and Nishiyama model predicted better the crack generation than Hoerl model.

The adsorption features of copper ion have been investigated by taking the barley residue which occurring from the beer production process as an adsorbent. Under the experimental conditions, adsorption equilibrium of copper ion was attained within 30 minutes after the adsorption started and the adsorption reaction was observed to be first order. As the temperature increased, the adsorbed amount of copper ion at equilibrium was also increased, which indicated that the adsorption reaction was endothermic. Based on the experimental results which obtained by varying the temperatures, several thermodynamic parameters for copper adsorption reaction were estimated. Regarding the electrokinetic behavior of barley residue, its electrokinetic potential was observed to be positive below pH 5 and turned into negative above this pH. In the pH range from 1.5 to 4, copper adsorption was found to be increased, which was well explained by the electrokinetic behavior of barley residue in the pH range. When nitrilotriacetic acid, which is a complexing agent, was coexisted with copper ion, equilibrium adsorption of copper ion was decreased and this was presumed to be due to the formation of metal complex. In addition, the adsorbed amount of copper ion was examined to be increased when $KNO_3$ was coexisted, however, it approached a saturated value above a certain concentration of $KNO_3$.

This article presents studies of the adsorption process in a continuous system of fluoride solutions at a concentration of 30 mg/L using a bone char packed in fixed-bed columns, as well as regeneration studies in the same system using HNO₃, HCl and NaOH at 0.01, 0.1 and 1 M. The Thomas Model, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Numerical Integration and Mass Transfer Zone were used for the modeling of asyemmetrical breakthrough curves obtained from the fluoride adsorption on bone char. The maximum adsorption capacity of the breakthrough curves was estimated, and various design parameters of the columns were obtained for the different operating conditions. Results showed that an improvement in the modeling capabilities of the Thomas model can be obtained using ANNs. Moreover, ANNs are useful for determining reasonable and accurate design parameters of packed-bed adsorption columns. This modeling approach can be useful for the process system engineering of dynamic adsorption systems involved in the field of water treatment and purification. It is important to highlight that the obtained results indicate that, when using HCl or HNO₃ at a concentration of 0.1 M, a large number of adsorption-desorption cycles are obtained and, therefore, the highest values of adsorption capacity, which leads to a reduction in operation costs.

In the manufacturing process of PCB , three kinds of VOCs such as aceton, methanol and 2-metoxyethanol are being used. In this study, adsorption characteristics of activated carbon fibers(ACFs) and active carbon were examined to temove these VOCs. The experimental results showed that ACF has better adsorption and regeneration efficiency than activated carbon. Phenolic-resin based ACF showed the highest adsorption capacity and the capacity was not decreased after repeated regeneration by steam. On the adsorption and desorption experiments for ternary components, preferential adsorption with roll-over phenomena was appeared. 2-Metoxyethanol was strong adsorbaste and it displaced adsorbed methanol and aceton.

Recombinant Pseudomonas lipase was used to study protein aggregation and adsorption upon in vitro refolding. Protein adsorption as well as aggregation was responsible for major side reactions upon in vitro refolding as a function of protein concentration. The optimal range of protein concentration was determined by the relative contribution of protein aggregation and adsorption. Above the optimal range, the yield of active lipase inversely correlated with protein aggregation, showing a competition between folding and aggregation. However, adsorption of protein rather than protein aggregation is thought to contribute as a major side reaction of the refolding process at sub-optimal concentrations at which the formation of aggregates should be more reduced. Protein aggregation was influenced by the amount of guanidine hydrochloride in the refolding solvent. The refolding temperature was a critical factor determining the extent of protein aggregation. The refolding yield was also affected by the dilution fold and dilution mode, which suggests that the refolding process might kinetically compete with the rate of mixing.
