The reaction of ammonium ferric sulfate with sodium borohydride in laponite sol yields nanoiron colloidal solution. This solution in air forms transparent yellow brown solution. The resulting solution reacts with bidentate chelating ligands. The reaction products are characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. All compounds show metal to ligand charge transfer band in the region of 400~650 nm in UV-Vis absorption spectra. This indicates the formation of iron-ligand complex by air oxidation of nanoiron. Also, XRD patterns exhibit that the iron-ligand complex is intercalated in the interlayer of laponite.

Many industries, such as textiles, chemical refineries, leather, plastics and paper, use different dyes in various process steps. At the same time, these industrial sectors are responsible for discharging contaminants that are harmful and toxic to humans and microorganisms by introducing synthetic dyes into wastewater. Of these dyes, methylene blue dye, which is classified as basic dyes, is accepted as a model dye. For this reason, methylene blue dye was selected in the study and its removal from the water was studied. In this study, two efficient biosorbents were developed from chitosan and sunflower waste, an agro-industrial waste and modified using iron nanoparticles. The biosorption efficiency was evaluated for methylene blue (MB) dye removal from aqueous solution under various parameters such as treating agent, solution pH, biosorbent dosage, contact time, initial dye concentration and temperature. We investigated the kinetic properties of dye removal from water for Chitosan-Sunflower (CS), Chitosan-Sunflower-Nanoiron (CSN). When the wavelength of MB dye was spectrophotometrically scanned, the maximum absorbance was determined as 660 nm. For the core shell biosorbents we obtained, we found that the optimum time for removal of MB from wastewater was 60 min. The pH of the best pH was determined as 5 in the studied pH. The most suitable temperature for the experiment was determined as 30℃. SEM-EDAX, TEM, XRD, and FTIR techniques were used to characterize biosorbents produced and modified in the experimental stage and to monitor the change of biosorbent after dye removal. The interactions of the paint with the surface used for removal were explained by these techniques. It was calculated that 80% of CS and 88% of CSN removed MB in optimum conditions. Also, the absorption of MB dye onto the surface was investigated by Langmiur and Frendlinch isotherms and it was determined from the results that the removal was more compatible with Langmiur isotherm.

본 연구에서는 TCE 등의 유기오염물질로 오염된 현장의 지하수를 처리하기 위한 반응매질로써 나노영가철(nanoscale zero valent iron, NZVI)의 적용성을 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 오염현장에서는 TCE 외에 음이온($NO_3^-$, $Cl^-$, $SO_4^{2-}$, $HCO_3^-$)과 자연유기물질(natural organic matter, NOM)이 검출되었으며 상업용 나노영가철(NANOFER 25, Nanorion)을 이용하여 모의, 현장 지하수를 처리하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. TCE만을 고려한 처리실험에서 25 g/L의 NANOFER 25는 1.8 mM TCE를 약 20시간에 95% 이상 처리하였으며($k=0.15hr^{-1}$), TCE 반복주입을 통해 평가한 NANOFER 25의 반응용량은 0.19 mmole TCE/g NZVI인 것으로 나타났다. 음이온은 개별 음이온의 농도는 반응성에 큰 영향을 주지 않았으나 4가지 음이온을 모두 포함하는 오염현장의 평균농도로 제조한 모의지하수처리 시 유사 1차속도상수(k)가 $0.069hr^{-1}$로 60% 감소하였으며 총 반응용량은 10% 감소하였다. 용존성 유기물(DOC)를 기준으로 한 유기물의 현장 평균농도에서는 반응속도상수가 $0.025hr^{-1}$로 84%까지 감소하는 것도 확인할 수 있었다. 오염현장에서 최고의 TCE 농도($1.8{\mu}M$)를 가지는 현장지하수를 이용하여 처리하였을 때는 TCE 농도가 낮아 25 g/L의 NANOFER 25를 사용하여 10시간 내 90% 이상의 TCE를 분해할 수 있었다. 본 연구결과와 현장 오염지하수에 대한 수리, 지질학적 조사결과를 접목할 경우, 향후 효율적인 현장 지하수처리 결과를 도출할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
