The adsorption ability of wood-based activated carbon to adsorb methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) from aqueous solution has been investigated. Adsorption studies were carried out on the batch experiment at different initial MB and CV concentrations (MB=150 mg/L~400 mg/L, CV=50 mg/L~350 mg/L), contact time, and temperature. The results showed that the MB and CV adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic and intraparticle diffusion was the rate-limiting step. Adsorption equilibrium data of the adsorption process fitted very well to both Langmuir and Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacity ($q_m$) by Langmuir constant was 416.7 mg/g for MB and 462.4 mg/g for CV. The thermodynamic parameters such as ${\Delta}H^{\circ}$, ${\Delta}S^{\circ}$ and ${\Delta}G^{\circ}$ were evaluated. The MB and CV adsorption process was found to be endothermic for the two dyes.

Iron oxide (ferrihydrite, hematite, and magnetite) coated silica gels were prepared using a low-cost, easily-scalable and straightforward method as the adsorbent material for arsenic removal application. Adsorption of the anionic form of arsenic oxyacids, arsenite ($AsO^{2-}$) and arsenate ($AsO{_4}^{3-}$), onto hematite coated silica gel was fitted against non-linear 3-parameter-model Sips isotherm and 2-parameter-model Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm. Adsorption kinetics of arsenic could be well described by pseudo-second-order kinetic model and value of adsorption energy derived from non-linear Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm suggests chemical adsorption. Although arsenic adsorption process was not affected by the presence of sulfate, chloride, and nitrate anions, as expected, bicarbonate and silicate gave moderate negative effects while the presence of phosphate anions significantly inhibited adsorption process of both arsenite and arsenate. When the actual efficiency to remove arsenic was tested against 1 L of artificial arsenic-contaminated groundwater (0.6 mg/L) in the presence competing anions, the reasonable amount (20 g) of hematite coated silica gel could reduce arsenic concentration to below the WHO permissible safety limit of drinking water of $10{\mu}g/L$ without adjusting pH and temperature, which would be highly advantageous for practical field application.

본 연구에서는 활성탄소의 이산화탄소 흡착 능력을 향상시키기 위한 아민과 금속산화물 첨가제에 관하여 고찰하였다. 표면 처리한 활성탄소의 물리화학적 특성은 X-ray photoelection specstroscopy (XPS), 질소등온흡착곡선, X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET 장치를 이용하여 분석하였다. 실험결과, 활성탄소 표면의 아민 기능기는 산성가스인 이산화탄소를 선택적으로 흡착하기 위한 염기성 자리로 작용하며, 2차아민을 갖는 기능기가 1차아민에 비하여 이산화탄소흡착능력이 우수함을 확인하였다. 활성탄소에 첨가된 금속산화물은 표면에서 전자 도우너(electron donor) 역할을 하며 알칼리 특성을 지니고, 아민 기능기와 유사하게 이산화탄소 가스와 산-염기 반응을 유도한다. 금속산화물 표면처리를 했을 경우 순수한 활성탄소와 비교하여 이산화탄소 흡착 용량이 85% 증가하였으며, 이러한 결과로 미루어 볼 때 금속산화물 첨가제는 활성탄소의 이산화탄소 흡착능력을 향상시키기 위한 목적으로 아민 첨가제와 병행하거나 대체할 수 있는 물질로 기대된다.

수산가공 폐기물로 버려지는 게 껍질로부터 chitin을 추출하여 중금속 흡착제로 이용하였으며, 이 흡착제에 대해 Cd(II) 및 Pb(II) 이온의 흡착특성을 연구하였다. Chitin에 대한 Cd(II) 및 Pb(II) 이온의 흡착속도는 반응시간 2분경에 최대흡착량에 도달하였으며, 중금속 흡착에 미치는 pH의 영향은 두 이온 모두 pH 7.0>10.5>3.5순임을 알 수 있었다. Chitin에 대한 흡착률은 Cd(II)이온이 21${\sim}$99%이며, Pb(II)이온이 24${\sim}$95%이다. Cd(II)이온의 회수율은 22${\sim}$53%이고, Pb(II)이온의 회수율은 22${\sim}$73%로 나타났다. 이들 중금속 이온의 흡착양상은 Freundlich 흡착등온식에 비교적 잘 적용되었다.

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.

Adsorption of alkali metals (Li, Na, and K) on the surface of magnesium oxide nanotubes (MgONTs) with different diameters was investigated using density functional theory. According to the obtained results, the most stable adsorption site was found to be atop the oxygen atom of the tube surface with adsorption energies in the range of -0.25 to -0.74 eV. HOMO-LUMO gap ($E_g$) of the tubes dramatically decreases upon the adsorption of the alkali metals, resulting in enhancement of their electrical conductivity enhancement. The order of $E_g$ decrement caused by the metal adsorption is as follows: K > Na > Li. The results suggest that the MgONTs were transformed from semi-insulator to semiconductor upon the alkali metal adsorption. Increasing the tube diameter, the HOMO/LUMO gap of the pristine tube is enhanced and adsorption energies of the alkali metals are decreased.

In this work, the effect of anodic oxidation treatment on Cr(VI) ion adsorption behaviors of activated carbon fibers (ACFs) was investigated. The aqueous solutions of 10 wt% $H_3PO_4$ and $NH_4OH$ were used for acidic and basic electrolytes, respectively. Surface characteristics and textural properties of ACFs were determined by XPS and $N_2$ adsorption at 77 K. The heavy metal adsorption of ACFs was conducted by ICP. As a result, the adsorption amount of the anodized ACFs was improved in order of B-ACFs > A-ACFs > pristine-ACFs. In case of the anodized treated ACFs, the specific surface area was decreased due to the pore blocking or pore destroying by acidic electrolyte. However, the anodic oxidation led to an increase of the Cr(VI) adsorption, which can be attributed to an increase of oxygen-containing functional groups, such as, carboxylic, lactonic, and phenolic groups. It was clearly found that the Cr(VI) adsorption was largely influenced by the surface functional groups, in spite of the reduced specific surface area of the ACFs.

본 연구에서는 정수슬러지를 원료로 사용하여 펠렛형 흡착제를 제조하고 질소흡착법, XRD, XRF 및 암모니아 승온탈착법 등을 사용하여 물리 화학적 특성을 분석하였다. 정수슬러지 유래 펠렛형 흡착제와 첨착활성탄의 암모니아 및 포름알데히드 기체의 흡착 성능을 비교하였다. 정수슬러지로부터 제조된 펠렛형 흡착제는 첨착활성탄보다 표면적과 기공부피는 훨씬 작지만 암모니아를 훨씬 더 많이 흡착할 수 있었다. 이는 정수슬러지로부터 제조된 펠렛형 흡착제 표면에 산점이 훨씬 더 많이 분포해 있어서 화학흡착에 의해 암모니아를 흡착하기 때문이다. 반면에, 산성가스인 포름알데히드 가스 흡착의 경우는 넓은 표면적과 발달된 기공으로 인하여 첨착활성탄의 흡착성능이 정수슬러지로부터 제조된 펠렛형 흡착제에 비해 훨씬 우수하였다.

콘크리트 내 염소이온은 콘크리트 내부로 침투하여 철근부식을 일으키는 주요 요인이다. 그런데 내재된 염소이온의 일부는 시멘트의 수화물과 반응하여 물리 또는 화학적 흡착을 유발하여 침투속도는 느려진다. 이때 시멘트의 수화물이 염소이온의 고정화에 영향을 미치는 요인이므로, 본 논문은 독립적인 시멘트 수화물에서 염소의 흡착에 대하여 초점을 두어 연구하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 시멘트 수화물이 염소이온을 흡착하는 시간의존적 거동을 고찰하여 염소이온 고정화의 메커니즘을 구명하는 것이다. 시멘트 수화물 중 AFt 상과 CH 상은 염소이온을 흡착하지 못하였으나 C-S-H 상과 AFm 상은 염소 흡착능력을 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, AFm 상은 40일 동안 느린 속도로 화학적 흡착 거동을 보인 반면, C-S-H 상은 순간적 물리흡착, 물리화학적 흡착, 그리고 화학적 흡착의 3단계로 구분되어 순차적인 흡착거동을 보였다. 반응 실험결과를 토대로, C-S-H 상과 AFm 상의 흡착 거동 해석기법이 제안되었다. 본 연구는 염소이온의 도입원에 따른 흡착 메커니즘을 이해를 토대로, 염소이온의 도입원에 따른 염소이온의 침투속도를 산정하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The adsorption characteristics of the methylene blue (MB) were studied using three activated carbons such as ACA and ACB with similar specific surface area (1,185 and $1,105m^2/g$), and ACC with relatively high specific surface area ($1,760m^2/g$). The surface chemical properties of these activated carbons were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results indicated that ACA had more functional groups (with phenol, carbonyl, and carboxyl etc.) than ACB (with carbonyl and carboxyl) and ACC (with carboxyl). The isotherm data were fitted well by Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption capacities of ACA, ACB, and ACC for MB were 454.7 mg/g, 337.7 mg/g, and 414.0 mg/g, respectively. As phenol and carboxyl content of the surface on activated carbon increased, MB adsorption capacity was increased. Although ACA had a smaller specific surface area than ACC, the content of phenol and carboxyl group was abundant, so MB adsorption capacity was found to be higher than ACC.
