The purpose of this study was carried out to estimate removal possibility of IBMP and IPMP causing odor in raw water. As a result of Freundlich isotherm. IBMP was superior to IPMP in adsorptive capacity. Adsorptive capacities of activated carbon were found to be in order of Lignite, Coconut shell, and Charcoal. These were well fitted with Freundlich isotherm. According to adsorption breakthrough tests for Lignite GAC, breakthrough time of IPMP and IBMP were 5.7hr and 5.5hr, respectively. Because adsorptive capacities of target material were very different with pore size distribution, it seemed that Lignite and Coconut shell based activated carbons were recommended in order to remove door compounds.

Plastics and vinyl resin is generally used in the various fields of industry and daily life. Except incineration, most waste has been disposed finally in landfill and the leaching of plasticizer as DEHP(di 2-ethylhexyl phthalaet) has been taken place in the landfill. DEHP had been found. for endocrine disrupter by World Wild Life Fund and Japan. In this study aimed at estimation of capacity of adsorption and measurement of phthalate ester in the residual soil. The residual soil had been gathered from three closed landfill which was under stabilization with sorting and transferring. The Dibutyl phthalate and DEHP had been contained in all residual soil. Especially, resisual soil contained DEHP much more than peripheral soil. In J landfill residual soil, organic matter content, CEC and #200 sieve passing ratio is highest, and Freundlich isotherm sorption coefficient(K) and constant(1/n) is highest.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate adsorptive removal of Methylene Blue (MB) dye from aqueous solution using pumice powder. The effects of pH, adsorption time, agitation speed, adsorbent dose, and dye concentrations on dye adsorption were investigated. Process kinetics and isotherm model constants were determined accordingly. The results showed that adsorbent dose, dye concentration and agitation speed are the important parameters on dye adsorption and the removal of MB did not significantly change by varying pH. A total adsorption process time of 60 min was observed to be sufficient to effectively remove 50 mg/L MB concentration. The MB adsorption data obeyed both pseudo first order and second order kinetic models. Adsorption of MB by pumice fitted well both Langmiur and Freundlich isotherms ($R^2{\geq}0.9700$), except for 150 rpm agitation speed that system fitted only Langmiur isotherm. The results of this study emphasize that pumice powder can be used as a low cost and effective adsorbent for dye removal.

The adsorption charateristics of lead(II) ions on Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus arrhizus were investigated. Adsorption amount of A. niger and R. arrhizus was about 95 mg/g and 25 mg/g, respectively. These biomass was approached to adsorption equilibrium within reaction time of 1hr because of their high reactivity. The uptake of lead ion by A. niger was less sensitivity than it by R. arrhizus on the inhibition effect of alkali metals and the decreasing ratio of uptake of lead ion of A. niger and R. arrhizus by inhibition effect of alkali metals was 37% and 50%, respectively. In pre-treatment on these biomass, NaOH treatment was contributed high adsorption capacity to these biomass. Then, adsorption amount of A. niger and R. allhizus was increased about 25 mg/g and 10 mg/g, respectively. In isotherm for the adsorption of lead ion based on Freundlich equation, 1/n value of A. niger and R. ar고izus was calculated the range of 0.28-0.56 and 0.44-0.67, respectively.

Adsorption of Safranin using granular activated carbon from aqueous solution was investigated. Batch experiments were carried out as a function of adsorbent dose, initial concentration, contact time and temperature. The equilibrium adsorption data were fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models. Based on an estimated Langmuir separation factor, $R_L=0.183{\sim}0.254$ and a Freundlich separation factor, 1/n = 0.518~0.547, this process could be employed as an effective treatment method. Adsorption data were also modeled using the pseudo-first and second-order kinetic equations. It was shown that the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation could best describe the adsorption kinetics. The negative Gibbs free energy (${\Delta}G=-3.688{\sim}-7.220kJ/mol$) and positive enthalpy (${\Delta}H=33.126kJ/mol$) indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic.

The adsorption of nalidixic acid on human erythrocytes was found to expressed by Freundlich's isotherm. The amount of adsorption of nalidixic acid on erythrocytes increased with an increase of pH. The adsorption of nalidixic acid on human plasma was found to expressed at Scatchard's equation by the equilibrium dialysis method. An influence of pH on adsorption of nalidixic acid to human plasma proteins was studies at pH 4-10. It was found that the degree of adsorption increase with the increase of pH from 4-6, but descreased above pH 9.

Nitrate removal from aqueous solution was investigated using $ZnCl_2$ and phosphoric acid activated carbon developed from pomegranate peel with particle size 0.4 mm. Potassium nitrate solution was used in batch adsorption experiments for nitrate removal from water. The effects of activated carbon dosage, time of contact, and pH were studied. The equilibrium time was fond to be 45 min. Two theoretical adsorption isotherms namely Langmuir and Freundlich were used to describe the experimental results. The Langmuir fit the isotherm with the theoretical adsorption capacity ($q_t$) was fond 78.125 mg g-1. Adsorption kinetics data were modeled using the pseudo-first, pseudo-second order, and intraparticle diffusion models. The results indicate that the second-order model best describes adsorption kinetic data. Results show activated carbon produced from pomegranate is effective for removal of nitrate from aqueous solution.

This study was conducted for the efficient utilization of a scoria, which is abundantly found in Cheju island, as adsorbent and the scoria was examined for its performance in clarification of adsorption of heavy metal ions. The order in heavy metal ions adsorbed on scoria was; Pb+>Cd^{2+}$>Cu^{2+}$>Ag^+$>Co^{2+}$>Zn^{2+}$>Cr^{3+}$>Cr^{6+}$. This tendency was relatively consistent with the decreasing order of radius of hydrated metal ion. Also, the smaller scoria size and the larger amounts of scoria showed higher removal efficiency for heavy metal ions. The same scoria size showed more effective removal efficiency for heavy metal ions at lower initial concentration than at higher initial concentration. The adsorption abilities of original scoria and chemically treated scoria were compared. Adsorption isotherm of scoria was generally obeyed to Freundlich formula than langmuir formula and Freundlich constant, than was obtained in the range of 0.2~0.4.

Bentonite has low hydraulic conductivity and high sorption capacity to limit hazardous heavy metals migration, and thus it has been considered as a liner material for the landfill of hazardous wastes. With a domestic bentonite sorption tests were carried out to investigate the adsorption isotherm and the effect of solution chemistry and temperature on adsorption. Freundlich isotherm was applied to fit the experimental data of lead adsorption, which fitted them well. Freundlich constants and correlation coefficient were calculated to be $K_{F}$\;=\;1.14$, n = 1.70, and $r^{2}\;=\;0.99$, respectively. The distribution coefficients($K_{d}$) for the adsorption of lead decreased with increasing initial lead concentration. The IL increased with increasing the pH of solution and sharply increased at pH > 7, which was attributed to the precipitation of lead species. The IL decreased with increasing the ion strength of solution. The $K_{d}$ gave a small increase with the concentration of ${SO_4}^{-2}$, whereas it had a nearly constant level with the concentration of ${HCO_3}^{-}$ in solution. An increase in the temperature of experimental solution increased the $K_{d}$.

Comparing the adsorption characteristics of coconut shell activated carbon (CSAC) and waste paint activated carbon (WPAC), Freundlich adsorption isotherms of alkylbenzene sulfonate (ABS) obtained from the secondary treatment water of H company and effluent of D company were estimated q=23.12 $C^{0.42}$ , q=18.32 $C^{0.38}$ with WPAC and $q=36.76C^{1.37}$ /, q=26.67 $C^{0.42}$ with CSAC respectively. In the case of H company, breakthrough time of the ABS using CSAC by continuous experiment was estimated 680 minute md that of WPAC was 610 minute. In the case of D company effluent, CSAC was estimated 720 minute, and that of WPAC was estimated 640 minute to reach the breakthrough. From the above results, it is possible to replace the coco-nut shell activated carbon with wasted paint activated carbon.
