Erythrosine은 식용색소와 염료로 사용되지만 독성 때문에 미국에서는 거의 사용되지 않는 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 입상활성탄에 의한 erythrosine의 흡착특성을 회분식 및 흡착칼럼실험을 통하여 조사하였다. erythrosine에 대한 활성탄의 흡착능은 pH조절에 의해 크게 개선되었으며 pH 11에서 초기농도 1,000 mg/L의 98%를 제거할 수 있었다. 회분식흡착실험을 통해 흡착등온선을 구한 결과 erythrosine의 평형흡착관계는 10~1,000 mg/L의 농도범위에서 Freundlich식이 잘 적용되었다. 고정층 실험을 통하여 얻은 파과곡선으로부터 초기유입농도, 유입속도, 충전층의 높이가 흡착탑 운전에 중요한 설계변수가 될 수 있음을 알았다.

본 연구에서는 제올라이트 X를 이용한 Cs 이온 흡착시 흡착시간 및 초기농도, 온도 및 pH 변화와 같은 영향인자를 평가하였다. 이 결과로부터 Cs 이온의 흡착속도, 등온흡착량 및 열역학적 특성을 해석하였다. 제올라이트 X에 의한 Cs 이온의 흡착은 pH 5~10에서 효과적이었으며, 평형흡착시간은 약 60분이었다. 흡착속도와 등온흡착량은 유사 2차 속도 모델식과 Langmuir 식에 잘 적용되었다. Langmuir 식으로 구한 Cs 이온의 최대 흡착량은 293~333 K에서 각각 303.03~333.33 mg/g이었다. 제올라이트 X에 의한 Cs 이온의 흡착은 흡열반응이고 자발적인 반응이었다. 실험값을 다중회귀분석으로 최적화하여 2차 다항식을 얻었다. 이 최적화된 식으로부터 구한 종속변수의 값과 실험에서 구한 값은 잘 일치하였다.

We investigated simultaneous removal of heavy metals such as Cr, Ni, and Zn by adsorption onto powdered activated carbon (PAC) and PAC modified with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (PAC-SDDC). Modification of PAC was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Both PAC and PAC-SDDC reached adsorption equilibrium within 48 h, and the adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second order reaction kinetics. The removal of metals was enhanced with increasing both adsorbent dosage and followed the descending order of Cr > Ni > Zn for PAC and Cr > Zn > Ni for PAC-SDDC, respectively. Adsorption kinetics followed pseudo-second order kinetics. Adsorption kinetic results were well fitted by the Freundlich isotherm except for Cr adsorption onto PAC. The optimum pH for heavy metal adsorption onto PAC was 5, whereas that for PAC-SDDC ranged from 7 to 9, indicating that modification of PAC with SDDC significantly enhanced heavy metal adsorption, especially under neutral and alkaline pH conditions. Our results imply that SDDC modified PAC can be applied to effectively remove heavy metals especially Cr in plating wastewaters without adjusting pH from alkaline to neutral.

This study investigated the possibility of using potassium titanate oxide ($K_2Ti_4O_9$) and acrylic acid-grafted polypropylene fabric (PP-g-AA) as adsorbents capable of removing strontium from aqueous solutions. $K_2Ti_4O_9$ showed the highest rate of strontium removal in the weak alkaline range, while the PP-g-AA increased strontium removal in the neutral range. Moreover, the adsorption capacity of the $K_2Ti_4O_9$ was not affected by the coexistence of K and Na ions, while the adsorption capacity decreased when Ca and Mg ions were present at the same concentration as that of strontium. When coexisted at the same concentration as strontium, Na, K, Ca, and Mg ions strongly reduced the adsorption capacity of the PP-g-AA. The results also indicated that the adsorption of strontium on $K_2Ti_4O_9$ was consistent with both the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. In contrast, the adsorption of strontium on the PP-g-AA was more consistent with the Langmuir isotherm model. Moreover, the adsorption equilibrium time of $K_2Ti_4O_9$ was generally 12 h, while that of the PP-g-AA was 5 h, indicating that the adsorption rates were consistent with the pseudo-second order kinetics model. $K_2Ti_4O_9$ and the PP-g-AA could be regenerated by simple washing with 0.5 N HCl.

New technologies or improvement of the existing technologies are required to enhance the efficiency of removal of pollutants from wastewater. In this study we attempted to produce and test the activated carbon produced from the refused tea waste for the removal of dyes from wastewater. The objectives of this investigation were to produce activated carbon from refused tea waste by chemical activation, evaluate its performance for the removal of color produced from Acid Yellow 36, and the modeling of its dye removal with the kinetic study. The activation was performed in two steps namely carbonization at $375{\pm}25^{\circ}C$ and chemical activation with HCl at $800^{\circ}C$ under the absence of Oxygen. Adsorption isotherms and kinetic studies were performed with a textile dye, Acid Yellow 36, at different concentrations (20-80 mg/L). The maximum dye removal (~90%) observed at 80 mg/L dye concentration and it reduced at low dye concentrations. Maximum adsorption (71.97 mg/g) was recorded at 96 h at $29{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. Low pH increased the dye adsorption (pH=2; 78.27 mg/g) while adsorption reduced at high pH levels indicating that the competition occurs in between OH- ions and AY36 molecules for the adsorption sites in RTAC. The Langmuir isotherm model clearly explained the dye adsorption, favorably, by RTAC. Moreover, kinetic studied performed showed that the pseudo second order kinetic model clearly describes the dye adsorption. Based on the results obtained in this study, it can be concluded that RTAC can be used for the removal of textile dyes.

The adsorption characteristics of bisphenol A (BPA) were investigated using activated carbon based on waste citrus peel (which is abandoned in large quantities in Jeju Island), denoted as WCP-AC, and surface-modified with various $P_2O_5$ concentrations (WCP-SM-AC). Moreover, coconut-based activated carbon (which is marketed in large amounts) was surface-modified in an identical manner for comparison. The adsorption equilibrium of BPA using the activated carbons before and after surface modification was obtained at nearly 48 h. The adsorption process of BPA by activated carbons and surface-modified activated carbons was well-described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model. The experimental data in the adsorption isotherm followed the Langmuir isotherm model. With increasing $P_2O_5$ concentration (250-2,000 mg/L), the amounts of BPA adsorbed by WCP-SM-AC increased till 1,000 mg/L of $P_2O_5$; however, above 1,000 mg/L of $P_2O_5$, the same amounts adsorbed at 1,000 mg/L of $P_2O_5$ were obtained. With increasing reaction temperature, the reaction rate increased, but the adsorbed amounts decreased, especially for the activated carbon before surface modification. The amounts of BPA adsorbed by WCP-AC and WCP-SM-AC were similar in the pH range of 5-9, but significantly decreased at pH 11, and increased with increasing ionic strength due to screening and salting-out effects.

중금속 제거를 위한 조류 Spirulina platensis의 생물흡착 특성에 관해 연구하기 위하여, 조류 균체와 Ca-alginate를 이용하여 조류를 고정화한 고정체에 대하여 각각 회분식반응기에서 Pb와 Cu의 제거 실험을 하였다. Spirulina platensis 균체에 의한 Pb와 Cu의 생물흡착은 20분 이내에 흡착평형에 도달하였다. Pb와 Cu의 흡착량은 초기 농도가 증가하거나 용액의 pH가 높아짐에 따라 증가하여, pH 4.5$\sim$5.0에서 최적 조건을 나타내었다. Pb 혹은 Cu의 농도가 200 mg/L일 때, Spirulina platensis의 단위 무게당 흡착된 Pb와 Cu의 최대 흡착량은 각각 86.43과 57.02 mg/g이었으며, 이는 같은 조건에서 활성탄보다 1.94와 1.48배 높은 값이다. Spirulina platensis 균체에 의한 Pb와 Cu의 흡착특성은 Freundlich와 Langmuir 흡착등온식에 의해 잘 해석되었으며, Langmuir 흡착등온식에 의해 구한 흡착제 단위 무게당 흡착되는 Pb 혹은 Cu의 최대 흡착량($q_{max}$)은 각각 95.24와 62.50 mg/g이었다. Sp. platensis 균체에 대한 FT-IR 분석결과 여러 가지의 기능기들을 확인하였고, 이러한 기능기들이 수용액상에서 금속 이온과 반응할 수 있다. 조류 Spirulina platensis를 Ca-alginate를 이용하여 고정화한 고정체에 의한 Pb와 Cu의 생물흡착의 경우, 40분 정도에 흡착평형에 도달하여 균체에 의한 경우에 비하여 약간의 확산제한이 관찰되었다.

The use of microalgal biomass is an interesting technology for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions owing to its high metal-binding capacity, but the interactions with bacteria as a strategy for the removal of toxic metals have been poorly studied. The goal of the current research was to investigate the potential of Burkholderia tropica co-immobilized with Chlorella sp. in polyurethane discs for the biosorption of Hg(II) from aqueous solutions and to evaluate the influence of different Hg(II) concentrations (0.041, 1.0, and 10 mg/l) and their exposure to different contact times corresponding to intervals of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 h. As expected, microalgal bacterial biomass adhered and grew to form a biofilm on the support. The biosorption data followed pseudo-second-order kinetics, and the adsorption equilibrium was well described by either Langmuir or Freundlich adsorption isotherm, reaching equilibrium from 1 h. In both bacterial and microalgal immobilization systems in the co-immobilization of Chlorella sp. and B. tropica to different concentrations of Hg(II), the kinetics of biosorption of Hg(II) was significantly higher before 60 min of contact time. The highest percentage of biosorption of Hg(II) achieved in the co-immobilization system was 95% at pH 6.4, at 3.6 g of biosorbent, $30{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, and a mercury concentration of 1 mg/l before 60 min of contact time. This study showed that co-immobilization with B. tropica has synergistic effects on biosorption of Hg(II) ions and merits consideration in the design of future strategies for the removal of toxic metals.

본 연구에서는 Cs, Sr, Co이온과 5가지 유형의 제올라이트(A, 13X, Y, Mordenite, Chabazite)를 대상으로 낮은 이온농도(0.01N과 0.005N)의 수용액 중에서 이온평형 isotherm과 총 이온교환용량을 측정하고, 그 결과를 이용하여 이온교환반응에 따르는 자유에너지변화(${\Delta}G^0$)와 엔탈피변화(${\Delta}H^0$)를 계산하였다. 또 이들 5종의 제올라이트 중 이온교환특성이 뛰어난 3종을 대상으로 3종의 이온이 공존할 경우의 이온교환평형을 측정하여 그 결과를 삼성분계 도표에 나타내었다. 실험결과, 이온선택도와 이온교환반응에 따르는 자유에너지변화(${\Delta}G^0$)의 크기 순서가 일치하며, ${\Delta}G^0$크기의 차이가 선택도 크기의 차이와도 상관관계가 있다는 사실을 확인하였다. 그리고 Cs이온의 흡착에는 Chabazite가 적합하고, Sr과 Co이온의 흡착에는 제올라이트-A와 13X가 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

다결정 $Ir/H_2SO_4$수성 전해질 계면에서 중간주파수 구간의 위상이동 변화와 Langmuir흡착등온식 사이의 관계를 교류임피던스 방법 즉 위상이동 방법을 이용하여 연구 조사하였다. 간소화된 계면 등가회로는 전해질저항(Rs), Faraday저항$(R_F)$, 흡착유사용량$(C_\phi)$ 등가회로 요소$(C_P)$의 직렬접속으로 구성된다. 음전위(E)에 대한 위상이동$(-\phi)$과 표면피복율$(\theta)$ 변화율$[\Delta(-\phi)/{\Delta}E,\;{\Delta}{\theta}/{\Delta}E]$을 비교 및 제시하였다. 지연되는 위상이동$(-\phi)$은 음전위(E) 및 주파수(f)에 따르며, $\phi=tan^{-1}[1/2{\pi}f(R_s+R_F)C_P]$이다. 중간주파수(1 Hz)에서 위상이동 변화$(-\phi\;vs.\;E)$는 Langmuir흡착등온식 $(\theta\;vs.\;E)$의 결정에 적용할 수 있는 실험적인 방법이다. 다결정 Ir/0.1 M $H_2SO_4$ 전해질 계면에서 수소의 흡착평형상수(K)와 흡착표준자유에너지 $({\Delta}G_{ads})$는 각각 $2.0\times10^{-4}$와 21.1kJ/mol이며 과전위 수소흡착(OPD H)에 기인한다.
