With a small particle size, specific surface area and chemical nature, Pd/Cu-Fe nanocomposites can efficiently remove the organic compounds. In order to understand the applicability for in situ remediation of contaminated groundwater, the degradation of p-nitrophenol by Pd/Cu-Fe nanoparticles was investigated. The degradation results demonstrated that these nanoparticles could effectively degrade p-nitrophenol and near 90% of degradation efficiency was achieved by Pd/Cu-Fe nanocomposites for 120 min treatment. The efficiency of degradation increased significantly when the Pd content increased from 0.05 wt.% and 0.10 wt.% to 0.20 wt.%. Meanwhile, the removal percentage of p-nitrophenol increased from 75.4% and 81.7% to 89.2% within 120 min. Studies on the kinetics of p-nitrophenol that reacts with Pd/Cu-Fe nanocomposites implied that their behaviors followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics. Furthermore, the batch experiment data suggested that some factors, including Pd/Cu-Fe availability, temperature, pH, different ions (SO42-, PO43-, NO3-) and humic acid content in water, also have significant impacts on p-nitrophenol degradation efficiency. The recyclability of the material was evaluated. The results showed that the Pd/Cu-Fe nanoparticles have good recycle performance, and after three cycles, the removal rate of p-nitrophenol is still more than 83%.

A novel, green, versatile and magnetically retrievable BiFeO₃/CDR (Bismuth ferrite/coriander) nanocomposites were fabricated via simple wet chemical method utilizing in situ functionalized, cheap coriander seed powder (CDR 5%, 10%, 15% and 20 wt%) as a fuel to enhance the efficiency of pristine BiFeO₃. A comparative study was performed between BiFeO₃/CDR and BiFeO₃/CNT (Bismuth ferrite/carbon nanotubes) nanocomposites for the removal of various hazardous pollutants from waste water. The successful synthesis of the fabricated nanomaterials was monitored via FT-IR, Powder XRD, FE-SEM, CV, VSM, CHNS/O and XPS studies. The synthesized nanomaterials were employed for the oxidative degradation of Carbol fuchsin, Reactive black 5, Ciprofloxacin and Doxorubicin; adsorption of a pesticide malathion; and reduction studies for Para-nitrophenol (PNP). The fabricated nanomaterials (BiFeO₃/CDR) showcased excellent efficiency and comparable results with (BiFeO₃/CNT) for the removal of model pollutants. Moreover, synthesized green heterojunction was also testified for mixture of textile and pharmaceutical waste. Hence CDR can be utilized as a better alternative of CNTs.

ZnO-$Fe_2O_3$ 복합금속 산화물 흡착제가 황화수소 제거능이나 황화된 흡착제의 산화적 재생반응에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. Zinc ferrite 흡착제가 가장 높은 황화수소 제거능을 나타내었고 혼합한 $Fe_2O_3$ 흡착제는 황화반응 도중 H$_2$S의 생성을 촉진시킴을 알 수 있었다. 또한 황화반응의 결과로 생성되는 금속황화물들이 H$_2$S 열분해의 촉매로 작용하였으며 H$_2$는 $Fe_2O_3$의 함량이 증가할수록 더 많이 발생하였다. 산화적 재생반응의 결과로부터 ZnS를 제외하고 $Fe_2O_3$를 혼합한 흡착제는 모두 잘 재생됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 산화적 재생반응 도중 생성될 수 있다고 보고된 zinc sulfate는 생성되지 않았다. 그리고 SO$_2$ 발생 곡선의 형태나 완전재생에 소요되는 시간을 기준으로 판단해 볼 때 $Fe_2O_3$의 혼합량의 변화는 산화적 재생반응에 별다른 영향을 미치지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

모의폐액으로 제조한 50ppm의 코발트이온을 Fe(III) 및 Al(III)의 응집제와 sodium lauryl sulfate의 계면활성제를 사용하여 흡착 교질 포말부선법으로 제거하였다. 용액의 pH, 계면활성제 농도, Fe(III) 및 Al(III) 농도, 공급기체의 유속 등을 변수로 하여 실험한 결과, Fe(III)를 응집제로 사용한 경우 초기 코발트이온농도 50ppm, pH 8.5, 공급기체유속 $70mell$/min, 제거시간 15분 등의 조건에서 99.8%의 제거율을 나타내었다. 코발트 이온 제거에 앞서 모의폐액에 35% $H_2O_2$를 첨가하여 폐액을 전처리하였다. 그 결과, 최적 pH 및 처리 후 잔존용액의 pH가 낮아졌고, 넓은 범위의 pH에서 높은 제거율을 나타내었다. Fe(III) 50 ppm을 사용하여 코발트이온과 공침시킨 후 20ppm의 Al(III)를 첨가한 결과, Fe(III) 또는 Al(III)를 각각 단독으로 사용하였던 경우에 비하여 제거 가능한 pH 범위가 더욱 더 확대되었다. 이 현상은 zeta potential 의 증가 및 공침효과의 상승요인으로 추측되었다. $NO_3^-$, $SO_4^{2-}$, $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$를 첨가하여 외부이온의 영향을 관찰하였으며, $SO_4^{2-}$가 0.1M 함유된 코발트용액을 Fe(III) 및 Al(III)를 사용하여 처리한 결과 제거효율은 99%를 나타내었다.

철을 이용한 반응벽체 (permeable reactive barrier, PRBs) 기술은 유기 화합물로 오염된 지하수를 환원적 반응에 의해 정화시키는 공법이다. 벽체의 매질로 주로 사용되는 영가 철은 반응이 진행됨에 따라 점차 2가 및 3가 철로 산화되어 제거능이 점차 저감된다. 자연계에 존재하거나 동정된 철 환원 박테리아는 산화된 Fe(III)를 Fe(II)로 환원시키는 능력을 가지고 있으며 이와 같이 환원된 Fe(II)는 반응 표면적을 넓히고 다시 할로겐 유기 화합물을 환원적으로 제거할 수 있도록 한다. 본 연구는 철 환원 박테리아로 순수균인 Shewanella algae BrY에 의한 산화철의 환원 경향을 aqueous phase와 solid phase로 나누어 관찰하고 환원된 철이 TCE 제거에 미치는 영향을 iron(II,III) oxide와 iron(III) oxide를 대상으로 하여 파악하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 박테리아는 배지 내에 존재하는 Fe(III)를 우선적으로 사용하여 Fe(II)로 환원시켰으며 선택성은 떨어지지만 입자상의 산화철 표면에 존재하는 Fe(III)도 환원시켰다. 또한 동량의 산화철이 존재할 때 iron(II,III) oxide에 비해 박테리아가 전자수용체로 사용할 수 있는 Fe(III)가 풍부한 iron(III) oxide의 환원이 더 잘 일어남을 알 수 있었고, 환원된 Fe(II)는 박테리아 또는 다른 철 산화물과 침전을 형성하였으며 TCE와의 반응속도 및 제거 능력을 향상시키는 것으로 판단된다.

최근 들어 지질기원에 의해 발생되는 지하수내 비소오염이 많이 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지하수내 비소를 효과적으로 제거하거 위하여 철침착 입상활성탄(Fe-GAC)을 제조하고 이에 대한 흡착능을 평가하였다. Fe-GAC는 질산 염철 용액으로 입상활성탄에 철화합물을 침착시켜 제조하였으며, 이를 이용하여 침착반응시간에 따른 등온흡착, pH에 따른 비소 동력학 흡착반응 및 수처리시스템 예비평가를 위한 칼럼 실험을 수행하였다. 연구결과 침착반응 시간이 최소 12시간 이상에서 비소 제거에 필요한 철의 함량을 가진 Fe-GAC가 제조되었으며, 이들의 흡착능은 등온흡착실험에서도 확인되었다. 입상활성탄에 침착된 철화합물은 XRD 분석결과 대부분 질산염수산화철($Fe_4(OH)_{11}NO_3{\cdot}2H_20$)이었으나 일부 소량의 적철석($Fe_2O_3$)도 관찰되었다. 등온흡착실험은 Langmuir가 Freundlich 모델보다 더 적합하였으며, 모델링 결과 얻어진 Freundlich 분배계수($K_F$) 및 Langmuir 최대 흡착량($Q_m$)은 입상활성탄에 침착된 철 함량과 로그-로그 양의 상관관계를 보여주었다. 동력학 흡착실험 결과 pH 11을 제외한 모든 조건 (pH 4-9)에서 Fe-GAC는 비소에 대해 뛰어난 흡착능을 나타내었으며, 따라서 일반적인 지하수의 pH가 6-8 사이임을 고려하면 Fe-GAC는 비소를 흡착에 매우 효과적인 흡착제로 이용될 것이다. 동력학 모델링 결과 Fe-GAC와 비소의 흡착은 화학적 흡착(chemisorption) 과정을 나타내는 pseudo-second order 모델이 가장 적합하였다. 비소 수처리시스템에 대한 예비 평가를 위하여 칼럼실험을 수행한 결과, 지연계수 482.4이고 분배계수 581.1 L/mg으로 이는 12-24시간 침착반응에서 제조된 Fe-GAC의 Freundlich 등온흡착 모델의 분배계수(511.5-592.5 L/mg)와 유사한 값을 나타내었다. 이러한 연구결과는 향후 지하수를 활용하는 마을상수도 수처리시스템에서 Fe-GAC가 지하수의 비소를 제거하는 뛰어난 흡여재로 사용될 수 있음을 나타내는 것이다.

This study was carried out to derive the removal characteristics of target materials(DOC and turbidity) during the coagulation process after the injection of coagulants(PACl and FeCl3). Used apparatus were a jar test and a pilot plant. A great portion of DOC among the total removed DOC was achieved at the slow mixing process among the coagulation process. The ranges of removed DOC and optimum pH for each coagulant were 0.45~1.47mg/l and 6.0~6.5 by PACl, and 0.97~2.61mg/l. and 5.0~5.5 by FeCl3, respectively. Both of coagulants showed little increase of DOC removal above coagulant dosage 20mg/l Molecular weight distribution(MWD) of removed DOC was measured by get filtration(GF) technique. The MWD variation by gel filtrationin(GF) for removed DOC in the coagulation process were as follows; for raw water, the percentages of each MWD for total area were < MW 6,500 25.5%, MW 6,500~66,000 67.1%, and > MW 66,000 7.4%. For the same coagulant dosage(12mg/l), the percentages of each MWD for total area by PACl were < MW 6,500 20.5%, MW 6,500~66,000 48.7%, and > MW 66,000 9.1%, and those of FeCl3 were MW 66,000 18.2%. For each coagulant, the removal percentage of MW 6,500~66,000 occurred a little, but at a part of

This study was carried out the simultaneous removal or organics and Cr(VI) in aqueous suspensions of phtocatalyst under circular type reactor and UV light illumination. In this experiment, comparison on the removal of Cr(VI) by photoreduction using UV light, photocatalyst adsorption using TiO2, ZnO, and FeCl3 as photocatalyst, and phtocatalysis using UV light with photocatalysts as well as the effect of experimental parameters such as phtocatalyst dosage, a kinds of organics and their concentration was examined. The major results of this study were as follows; 1. It was found that photocatalyst adsorption and phtocatalysis were applicable to the removal of Cr(VI), and Cr(VI) was more effectively eliminated by TiO2 than ZnO, and FeCl3. 2. phtocatalytic removal efficiency of Cr (VI) increased with increasing phtocatalyst dosage. However, over 1.0g/l of phtocatalyst dosage, the efficiency reached a plateau. 3. phtocatalytic removal of Cr(VI) was enhanced by addition of organics such as salicylic acid, mandelic acid, EDTA, and citric acid, and phtocatalytic oxidation of organics were also observed. 4. It was found that the simultaneous removal of organics and Cr(VI) using phtocatalysis was possible.

Waste glass disposal causes environmental problems in the cities. To find a suitable green environmental solution for this problem low cost adsorbent in this study was prepared from waste glass. An effective new green adsorbent was synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of waste glass (WG), followed by acidic activation of its surface by HCl (WGP). The prepared adsorbent was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and BET surface measurement. The developed adsorbent was used for the removal of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb and Zn) from well water. Batch experiments were conducted to test the ability of the prepared adsorbent for the removal of Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb and Zn from well water. The experiments of the heavy metals adsorption by adsorbent (WGP) were performed at different metal ion concentrations, solution pH, adsorbent dosage and contact time. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms and kinetic models were used to verify the adsorption performance. The results indicated high removal efficiencies (99-100%) for all the studied heavy metals at pH 7 at constant contact time of 2 h. The data obtained from adsorption isotherms of metal ions at different time fitted well to linear form of the Langmuir sorption equation, and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Application of the resulted conditions on well water demonstrated that the modified waste glass adsorbent successfully adsorbed heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb and Zn) from well water.

Wet air oxidation (WAO) of oily sludge was carried out using $Fe^{3+}$ as catalyst, placed in a 0.5 L batch autoclave in the temperature range of $250-330^{\circ}C$. Experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of temperature, the initial COD, reaction time, concentration of catalyst and $O_2$ excess (OE) on the oxidation of the oily sludge. The results showed that in the WAO 88.4% COD was achieved after 9 min reaction at temperature of $330^{\circ}C$, OE of 0.8 and the initial COD of 20000 mg/L. Temperature was found to have a significant impact on the oxidation of oily sludge. Adding a catalyst significantly improved the COD removal. Homogenous catalyst, $Fe^{3+}$, showed effective removal for pollutants. COD removal was 99.7% in the catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) over $Fe^{3+}$ catalyst. The results proved that the CWAO was an effective pretreatment method for the oily sludge.
