Adsorption characteristics of Eosin Y dye by carbon nano tubes (CNTs) were examined through batch experiments. CNTs used in the study had specific surface area of $106.9m^2/g$, porosity volume of $1.806cm^3/g$, and porosity diameter of $163.2{\AA}$, respectively. Adsorption experiments were carried out as function of contact time, initial solution pH (2~10), dye concentration (100, 150 and 200 mg/L), adsorbent dose (0.05~1.0 g) and temperature (293, 313 and 333 K). The adsorption was favoured at lower pHs and temperatures. Adsorption data were well described by the Langmuir model. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second order kinetic model. The adsorption capacity decreased with increase in temperature. The results of the intraparticle diffusion model suggested that film diffusion and particle diffusion were simultaneously occured during the adsorption process. Thermodynamic studies suggested the spontaneous and endothermic nature of adsorption of Eosin Y dye onto CNTs.

$Ni-TiO_2$ 복합체를 전기도금법으로 제조할 때, pH, 전류밀도 변화에 따른 $TiO_2$ 부피분율을 측정하였다. 산화물의 부피분율은 pH가 높아질수록 낮아지고, 전류밀도가 증가하면, $100mA/cm^2$에서 최댓값을 가진 뒤에 감소하였다. 기존의 산화물 공석량 예측식 모델에 수소발생반응을 고려하여 적용한 결과, 기존 모델보다 실험값과 예측값의 정확도가 더 높았다. 따라서, 산화물이 전기도금층에 공석될 때에는 수소이온의 환원반응과 니켈이온의 환원반응을 종합적으로 고려하여야 한다.

In this study, an attempt was made to produce oat protein concentrates from defatted oat groat by alkali extraction. Independent variables formulated by D-optimal design were NaOH concentration (X1, 0.005~0.06 N) for extraction and precipitation pH (X2, pH 4.0~6.0), and the dependent variable was extraction yield (Y1, %). Experimental results were analyzed by response surface methodology to determine optimized extraction conditions. Extraction yield increased both with an increase in NaOH concentration of the extraction solution and when approaching a precipitation pH of 4.9, and NaOH concentrations were a major influencing parameter. Solubility of oat protein concentrates showed a minimum value (i.e., 0.1%) at pH 5 and increased substantially at pH values in the range of ${\leq}$ pH 3 or ${\geq}$ pH 7, reaching a maximum value at pH 11 (i.e., 76%). Regression equation coincided well with the results of the experiment. Optimized extraction conditions to maximize extraction yield were 0.06 N NaOH (X1) for extraction and pH 4.7 (X2) for precipitation.

A activated carbon (WCAC, waste citrus activated carbon) prepared from an agricultural waste citrus peel material generated in Jeju was utilized for the removal of dimetridazole (DMZ) antibiotics in aqueous solution. The adsorption of DMZ on WCAC was investigated with the change of various parameters such as contact time, dosage of WCAC, particle size of WCAC, temperature, pH, and DMZ concentration. The DMZ adsorption capacity increased with increasing temperature and decreasing particle size. Also it was decreased at less than pH 4 but sustained almost constantly at pH 4 or greater. Isotherm parameters were determined from the Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich-Peterson and Duinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherm models. The isotherm data were best described by the Redlich-Peterson isotherm model. And the adsorption kinetics can be successfully fitted to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The results of the intra-particle diffusion model suggested that film diffusion and intra-particle diffusion were occurred simultaneously during the adsorption process. Meanwhile, the thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption reaction of DMZ on WCAC was an endothermic and spontaneous process. The experimental results showed that WCAC is a promising and cheap adsorbent for the removal of DMZ antibiotics.

Korean pine(Pinus densiflora) bark was evaluated for its adsorption capacity of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution by running a series of batch experiments. Prior to the tests, the milled barks were treated with 1 N NaOH or 1 N HCl to examine the effect of surface modification. For comparison, untreated bark was tested under same condition. Within the tested pH range between 3 and 6, NaOH treatment increased Cu(II) adsorption capacity by $139\sim184%$, while HCl treatment decreased it by $37\sim42%$. Maximum copper ion uptake by bark was observed at pH $5\sim6$, but pH of solution was not a potent influence. A pseudo second-order kinetic model fitted well for the sorption of copper ion onto bark. For NaOH-treated bark, the calculated sorption capacity$(q_e)$ increased from 6.58 to 12.77 mg/g, while the equilibrium rate constant$(k_2)$ decreased from 0.284 to 0.014 g/mg/min as initial Cu(II) concentration doubled from 100 mg/L. A batch isotherm test using NaOH-treated bark showed that equilibrium sorption data were represented by both the Langmuir model and the Freundlich model. It was confirmed that carboxylic acid of bark was involved in the Cu(II) adsorption. For NaOH-treated bark, in particular, carboxylate ion produced by hydrolysis or saponification appeared to be a major functional roup responsible for the enhanced Cu(II) sorption.

This paper studied the recovery of organic acid from organic acid salt by using bipolar membrane electrodialysis. Acetic acid and lactic acid was used as for organic acid. Organic acid concentration, sodium hydroxide concentration and pH values were measured at various current density. Organic acid salt was effectively converted to organic acid and sodium hydroxide. Based on the experimental results, mathematical models were developed, in which time changes in ion balance were considered. Model predictions of organic acid concentration, sodium hydroxide concentration and pH values were in good agreement with the experimental data.

The separation of trypsin inhibitir using reverse micellar system was invertigated. Among the biffer system tested, 1.0M $CaCl_2$ solution (pH 3.0) and 1.0M NaCl soluation (pH 11.5) were most effective for solubilization and de-solubilization of protein, respectively. When these conditions were applied to two model sampeles, one of which was composed of the same amount of 7S protein and trpsin inhibitor, and the other of which was composed of the same amount of soluble soybean protein isolates and trypsin inhibitor, highly pure trypsin inhibitor was obtained. And in the real soybean, Kwng Gyo, pure trypsin inhibior was also obtained.

The removal of phosphorus was investigated from sewage waste water (SWW) using the used foundry sand (UFS). The optimal pH occurred at pH 2 for adsorption of phosphorus species in batch test. Phosphorus could be recovered with 99.9% from SWW in two hours at pH 2 using 100 g of UFS per liler of SWW. The adsorption of phosphorus species on UFS obeyed Langmuir isotherm, whose equation could be expressed by 1= 0.00059/(1+2.49878). Continuous column test for adsorption showed that breakthrough point appeared In 25 hours on the condition of breakthrough concentration of 8 mg/l

The removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4-DCP) in aqueous solution was studied using the magnetic activated carbon (MAC) prepared from waste citrus peel. The adsorption characteristics of 2,4-DCP by MAC were investigated by varying the contact time, MAC dose, solution temperature, pH and 2,4-DCP concentration. The isothermal adsorption data were well explained by the Langmuir isotherm model equation and the maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Langmuir isotherm equation was 312.5 mg/g. The adsorption kinetic data were well described by the pseudo-second-order reaction equation. The intraparticle diffusion model data indicated that both the film and intraparticle diffusion occur simultaneously during the adsorption process. The thermodynamic parameters of ${\Delta}H^o$ and ${\Delta}G^o$ have positive and negative values, respectively, indicating that the adsorption of 2,4-DCP by MAC is a spontaneous endothermic reaction. After the adsorption experiment was completed, the used MAC could be easily separated by an external magnet.

${\beta}$-Galactosidase was immobilized on chitosan bead by covalent bonding using glutaraldehyde. The characteristics of the immobilized enzyme were investigated. Maximum immobilization yield of 75% was obtained on chitosan bead. Optimum pH and temperature for the immobilized enzyme was 7.0 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The immobilized enzyme showed a broader range of pH and temperature compared to a free one. A mathematical model for the operation of the immobilized enzyme in a packed-bed reactor was established and solved numerically. Under different inlet lactose concentrations and feed flow rate conditions, lactose conversion was measured in a packed-bed reactor. The experimental results of continuous operation in a packed-bed reactor were compared to theoretic results using Michaelis-Menten kinetics with competitive product inhibition and external mass transfer resistance. The model predicted the experimental data with errors less than 5%. Process optimization of continuous operation in a packed-bed reactor was also conducted. In a recirculation packed-bed operation, conversion of lactose was 97% in 3 hours. In a continuous packed-bed operation, the effect of flow rate and initial lactose concentration was investigated. Increasing flow rates and initial lactose concentration decreased the conversion of substrate.
