This study was performed : 1) to establish the experimental analysis conditions for the sorption and desorption of toxic organic contaminants to/from the activated sludge, sediment, and clay, and 2) to determine the sorption and desorption equilibrium coefficients of some representative halogenated aliphatic compounds. Through the preliminary sorption test using Azo dye, a setting of quantitative experimental conditions to determine the sorption and desorption characteristics was decided as follows; equilibration time of 180 minutes, centrifuge for 15 minutes at 5000$\times$g, and 500mg/$\ell$ of TOC concentration. The sorption and desorption characteristics of halogenated aliphatic compounds onto activated sludge, sediment and clay could be described very well using the Freundlich isotherm. The preference of the average sorption capacity of the overall compounds showed in the sequence sediment 0.26mg/g, clay 0.23mg/g, and activated sludge 0.11 mg/g. The desorption rate of the sorbed compounds onto activated sludge, sediment and clay was approximately 89.8%, 35.3%, and 66.4%, respectively.

캐오리나이트, 일라이트, 녹리석의 중금속(Pb, Cu, Zn, Cd) 흡착에 다양한 실험적 변수의 영향을 박스-벤켄(Box-Benken)모델을 이용한 통계 모델링을 실시하였다 중금속 흡착에 미치는 변수로 pH, 중금속의 초기농도, HCO3 (혹은 K)농도를 변수로 하고, 각 실험변수의 농도를 3차원으로 설정하여 모델에 근거한 벳치실험과 3차원 통계모델링을 실시하였다. 아울러 일라이트에 한하여 pH변화에 따른 중금속의 흡착특성을 알아보았다. 통계적 해를 얻기 위하여 SAS 프로그램을 이용하여 표면반응 분석을 통하여 실시하였다 중금속의 흡착에 영향을 미치는 가장 큰 변수는 pH이며, 그다음 중금속의 초기 농도와 중탄산(혹은 K성분)의 농도가 실험적 조건에 따라서 서로 다른 영향력을 보인다. 점토광물에 따른 중금속 흡착능력의 차이는 크지 않지만 일라이트의 경우 중금속의 초기농도에 따라서 흡착율에 상당한 차이를 보인다. 일라이트의 중금속 흡착에 K 성분이 흡착경쟁에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 중금속간의 흡착경쟁은 Cu>Pb>>Zn>Cd의 순서를 보인다. 중금속 흡착에 점토광물의 광물학적 영향보다는 수용액의 화학적 조건이 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 통계모델에 근거한 흡착모델링은 흡착결과를 3차원으로 효과적으로 표현할 수 있으며, 실험적 노력을 경감할 수 있는 효과적인 방법으로 판단된다.

Proliferation of Nocardia amarae cells in activated sludge has often been associated with the generation of nuisance foams. Despite intense research activities in recent years to examine the causes and control of Nocardia foaming in activated sludge, the foaming continued to persist throughout the activated sludge treatment plants in United States. In addition to causing various operational problems to treatment processes, the presence of Nocardia may have secondary effects on the fate of heavy metals that are not well known. For example, for treatment plants facing more stringent metal removal requirements, potential metal removal by Nocardia cells in foaming activated sludge would be a welcome secondary effect. In contrast, with new viosolid disposal regulations in place (Code o( Federal Regulation No. 503), higher concentration of metals in biosolids from foaming activated sludge could create management problems. The goal of this research was to investigate the metal sorption property of Nocardia amarae cells grown in batch reactors and in chemostat reactors. Specific surface area and metal sorption characteristics of N. amarae cells harvested at various growth stages were compared. Three metals examined in this study were copper, cadmium and nickel. Nocardia amarae strain (SRWTP isolate) used in this study was obtained from the University of California at Berkeley. The pure culture was grown in 4L batch reactor containing mineral salt medium with sodium acetate as the sole carbon source. In order to quantify the sorption of heavy metal ions to N amarae cell surfaces, cells from the batch reactor were harvested, washed, and suspended in 30mL centrifuge tubes. Metal sorption studies were conducted at pH 7.0 and ionlc strength of 10-2M. The sorption Isotherm showed that the cells harvested from the stationary and endogenous growth phase exhibited significantly higher metal sorption capacity than the cells from the exponential phase. The sequence of preferential uptake of metals by N. amarae cells was Cu>Cd>Ni. The specific surFace area of Nocardia cells was determined by a dye adsorption method. N.amarae cells growing at ewponential phase had significantly less specific surface area than that of stationary phase, indicating that the lower metal sorption capacity of Nocardia cells growing at exponential phase may be due to the lower specific surface area. The growth conditions of Nocardia cells in continuous culture affect their cell surface properties, thereby governing the adsorption capacity of heavy metal. The comparison of dye sorption isotherms for Nocardia cells growing at various growth rates revealed that the cell surface area increased with increasing sludge age, indicating that the cell surface area is highly dependent on the steady-state growth rate. The highest specific surface area of 199m21g was obtained from N.amarae cell harvested at 0.33 day-1 of growth rate. This result suggests that growth condition not only alters the structure of Nocardia cell wall but also affects the surface area, thus yielding more binding sites of metal removal. After reaching the steady-state condition at dilution rate, metal adsorption isotherms were used to determine the equilibrium distributions of metals between aqueous and Nocardia cell surfaces. The metal sorption capacity of Nocardia biomass harvested from 0.33 day-1 of growth rate was significantly higher than that of cells harvested from 0.5- and 1-day-1 operation, indicatng that N.amarae cells with a lower growth rate have higher sorpion capacity. This result was in close agreement with the trend observed from the batch study. To evaluate the effect of Nocardia cells on the metal binding capacity of activated sludge, specific surface area and metal sorption capacity of the mixture of Nocardia pure cultures and activated sludge biomass were determined by a series of batch experiments. The higher levels of Nocardia cells in the Nocardia-activated sludge samples resulted in the higher specific surface area, explaining the higher metal sorption sites by the mixed luquor samples containing greater amounts on Nocardia cells. The effect of Nocardia cells on the metal sorption capacity of activated sludge was evaluated by spiking an activated sludge sample with various amounts of pre culture Nocardia cells. The results of the Langmuir isotherm model fitted to the metal sorption by various mixtures of Nocardia and activated sludge indicated that the mixture containing higher Nocardia levels had higher metal adsorption capacity than the mixture containing lower Nocardia levels. At Nocardia levels above 100mg/g VSS, the metal sorption capacity of activate sludge increased proportionally with the amount of Noeardia cells present in the mixed liquor, indicating that the presence of Nocardia may increase the viosorption capacity of activated sludge.

Lead sorption performances by biomass of nonliving, dried marine brown algae Undaria phnaunda, Hlzikia hsyormls. and Sugassum fulvellum used as biosorbent materials were investigated. As the amount of biosorbent materials added was increased, the lead removal by biosorbent materials Increased but the lead biosorption capacities decreased. However, with increasing Initial lead concentration the lead biosorption capacities by the biosorbent materials Increased but lead removal efficiencies decreased. In the range of Initial lead concentration(Co) 10-500 mg/L the lead biosorption capacities and removal efficiencies by the biosorbent materials Increased with increasing pH. Among the biosorbent materials used in this study, the lead biosorption capacities decreased in the following sequence: U. plilnaunda > H. fusiformis > S. fulvellum. The lead biosorption by biosorbent materials were expressed by the Langmuir Isotherm better than the Freundlich Isotherm. The biosorption rate could be expressed by the first order reaction rate equation for initial lead concentration like that rad : 0.288Co for U. phanda, rad = 0.255Co for H. fusiformis, and rad : 0.161Co for S. fulvellum. Key words : Lead, biosorption, biosorbent, Undaria pinnatinda, Hiztkia fusiformis, Sargassum fulvellum, Langmuir isotherm, Freundlich isotherm, biosorption rate.

부탄올을 투과증발 공정으로 분리하기 위하여 복합공정에 의하여 투과증발막을 제조하였다. 상업용 poly(dime-thylsiloxane) (PDMS) 막을 plasma 처리시키거나, polysulfone, poly(ether imide) 막을 지지체로 사용하여 plasma 처리 및 PDMS 코팅의 복합공정을 적용하였다. 헥산계열과 실란계열 유기 화합물을 사용하여 PDMS막을 plasma 처리하였을 경우 막 표면의 소수성을 증가시켜서 부탄을 선택도가 12.56까지 향상되었다. 반면에 투과량은 막 표면의 소수성 증대와 free volume의 변화로 인해 $1.15kg/m^2{\cdot}hr$까지 감소되어 선택도와 반대의 성향을 나타내었다. 막의 소수성이 증가함에 따라 접촉각과 상대적 sorption 비가 증가하였고, 부탄을 선택도도 향상되었다. PDMS 코팅 용액에서 prepolymer의 함량이 높을수록 부탄올 선택도가 증가하였다. PDMS 코팅과 plasma 처리 공정의 순서에 따른 영향을 조사하였다. 부탄올과 노르말 헥산으로 plasma 처리할 경우 plasma처리, PDMS 코팅 순으로 제조된 막의 분리 성능이 우수하였고 hexamethyldisilane과 hex-amethyldisilazane을 사용한 경우에는 역순으로 제조된 막의 분리 성능이 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

방사성 폐기물의 주요 성분 중 하나인 Cs의 자연에서 정출되는 제올라이트인 차바자이트(chabazite)에 대한 흡착 특성을 알아보기 위해 XRD, EPMA, EC, pH, ICP 분석방법을 이용하여 동정 및 화학성분 분석을 하였다. 그리고 추가적으로 양이온 교환능력을 확인하였고 시간과 농도에 따른 Cs 흡착 및 타 양이온($Li^+$, $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Rb^+$, $Sr^{2+}$)에 대한 경쟁흡착 실험을 실시하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 차바자이트의 화학식은 $Ca_{1.15}Na_{0.99}K_{1.20}Mg_{0.01}Ba_{0.16}Al_{4.79}Si_{7.21}O_{24}$였고 Si/Al 비율과 양이온 교환능력은 각각 1.50와 238.1 meq/100 g으로 측정되었다. 시간과 농도에 따른 Cs 흡착 등온 실험결과를 흡착 반응 속도 모델과 등온 흡착 모델에 적용해본 결과 각각 유사 2차 반응과 Freundlich 모델에 부합하였으므로 고체 표면에 흡착 물질이 2개 이상의 다중 흡착 층을 이루는 것을 알 수 있으며 모델로부터 유도되는 상수 값을 통해 차바자이트의 Cs 흡착 능력정도를 평가하였다. 경쟁 흡착 실험 결과 이온의 종류에 따라 이온 교환되어 차바자이트 내에 존재하는 Cs의 몰 분율에서 차이를 보였다. 각 양이온과 세슘과의 액체에서 고체 내로 흡착되는 경쟁 경향이 $Na^+$, $Li^+$, $Sr^{2+}$, $K^+$ 그리고 $Rb^+$ 순으로 선택성이 있었으며 이는 수화 직경의 순서와 유사한 양상을 보였다. Kielland 도시법을 이용하여 Cs과 타 양이온의 교환 평형관계를 도시해 보았을 때에는 $Sr^{2+}$가 가장 선택성이 높았으며 그 다음으로 $Na^+$, $Li^+$, $K^+$, $Rb^+$ 순으로 선택성이 나타났고 모든 타 양이온에 대하여 양의 값을 나타내었다. Kielland 도시법에서 나타나는 평형상수 값의 순서는 열역학 및 반응 속도론적인 의미를 내포하고 있으므로 수용액에서 공극 내로 들어가는 Cs은 $Sr^{2+}$과의 공존 시 선호도가 높다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이는 경쟁하고 있는 수화된 양이온 간의 직경 차이가 원인일 것으로 추측된다. 본 연구 결과는 차바자이트가 높은 Cs 친화력을 가지는 것을 보여줌으로써 방사성 물질로 오염된 물에서 Cs을 선택적으로 교환할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

Permeation experiments of a commercial nanofiltration membrane (nominated as ESNA 1) were carried out with aqueous solutions of various single salts, that is, five chlorides (NH$_4$Cl, NaCl, KCl, MgCl$_2$ and $CaCl_2$), three nitrates $(NaNo_3,\;Mg(No_3)_2\;and\;Ca(NO_3)_2)\;and\;three\;sulfates\;((NH_4)_2SO_4,\;Na_2SO_4\;and\;MgSO_4)$. The experimental results showed that (1) the permeate volume flux of the ESNA 1 membrane increased and decreased with the growth of the applied pressure and the feed concentration of salts, respectively. The real rejection of ESNA 1 membrane to most single salts increased with the growth of the permeate volume flux. (2) The reflection coefficients of ESNA 1 membrane to chlorides, nitrates and sulfates are 0.97, 0.96 and 0.99, respectively. The solute permeability of most salts except for magnesium and calcium salts increased with the growth of feed concentration. (3) The sequence of the rejections of ESNA 1 membrane to anions is $R({SO_4}^{2-})>R(CI)>R(NO_3)$ at the same feed concentration. While the sequence of the rejections to cations is cataloged into two cases: $R(Na^+)>R(K^+)>R(Mg^{2+})>R(Ca^{2+})$ at the concentration of 10 mol/$m^3$ and $R(Mg^{2+})>R(Ca^{2+})>R(Na^+)>R(K^+)$ at the concentration of 100 mol/$m^3$. The separation capability of a NF membrane is usually affected by the electrostatic effect and the steric-hindrance effect. In this case, the electrostatic effect is the major factor at low concentration and the steric-hindrance effect is the major factor at high concentration. Both the specific sorption and the hydration also reasonably influenced the separation performance of NF membrane to salts.

In order to improve the portability of basic absorbents monoethanolamine (MEA) and glycine (Gly), both were supported on microporous activated carbon (AC). Chemical modification by alkali-metal ion exchange (of Li, Na, K) was carried out on Gly-based absorbents. All supported absorbents were subjected to $CO_2$ absorption capacity (pure $CO_2$) and selectivity (indoor level) tests. Textural and chemical characterizations were carried out on test sorbents. All impregnation brought about significant reduction of specific surface area and microporosity of the adsorbent Depreciation in the textural properties was found to result to reduction in pure $CO_2$ sorption. Contrarily, low-level $CO_2$ removal capacity was enhanced as the absorbent dosage increases, resulting in supported 5 molar MEA in methanol solution. Adsorption capacities were improved from 0.016 and 0.8 in raw ACs to 1.065 mmol/g for MEA's. Surface chemistry via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of the supported sorbents showed the presence of amine, pyrrole and quaternary-N. In reducing sequence of potency, pyridine, amine and pyrrolic-N were noticed to contribute significantly to $CO_2$ selective adsorption. Furthermore, the adsorption isotherm study confirms the presence of various SNGs heterogeneously distributed on AC. The adsorption mechanism of the present AC adsorbents favored Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm at lower and higher $CO_2$ concentrations respectively.

Transport of heavy metals such as Cd is affected by several rate-limiting processes including adsorption and desorption by exchange reactions in soils. In this study, column transport and batch kinetic experiments were performed to assess Cd mobility in a double-layered soil with a reclaimed saline and sodic soil (SSS) as top soil and macroporous granule (MPG) as a bottom layer. For individual soil layer having different physical and chemical properties, Cd was considered to be nonlinear reactivity with the soil matrix in layered soils. The dispersive equation for reactive solutes was solved with three types of boundary conditions for the interface between soil layers. The adsorption of Cd with respect to the saline-sodic sandy loam and the MPG indicated that the nature of the sites or the mechanisms involved in the sorption process of Cd was different and the amounts of Cd for both of samples increases with increasing amounts of equilibrium concentration whereas the amount of Cd adsorbed in saline-sodic sandy loam soil was higher than that in MPG. The results of breakthrough curve indicating relative Cd retardation accompanied by layer material and sequence during leaching showed that the number of pore volumes to reach the maximum relative concentration of 1 increased in the order of MPG, SSS, and double layer of SSS-MPG. Breakthrough curves (BTCs) from column experiments were well predicted with our double-layered model where independently derived solute physical and retention parameters were implemented.

백악기 불국사화강암 내 열극을 충진한 함금은석영맥으로 구성된 명보광산은 전남 보성군에 위치한 광산이다. 본 연구에서는 명봉광산의 광미를 채취하여 광미 내 황화광물 풍화와 이차 삼차 광물 생성 또는 변질 등의 다양한 과정들이 비소의 고정화에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았다. 광물학적 화학적 방법으로 나누어 연구를 수행하였으며, 광물학적 방법으로는 비중/자력 선별, 초음파 서}척, 기기분석(X-선 회절 분석기, 에너지 분산분광기, 전자탐침미세현미경) 등이 이용되었다. 그리고 왕수분해법을 적용하여 광미 내 원소함량을 알아보았다. 연구결과, 광미의 풍화로 형성된 철 (산)수산화물은 충진, 침전, 변질 등의 3가지 형태로 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다. 즉, 황철석의 가장자리와 균열부를 충진하는 형태, 맥석광물을 피복하여 침전된 형태 그리고 유코나이트로 변질된 형태 등이었다. 초기 다량의 산-발생 광물인 황철석과 유비철석의 풍화로 인해 산화반응이 빠르게 일어나면서 많은 철 (산)수산화물과 스코로다이트 등이 이차적으로 생성되는 것이 인지되었다. 이와 더불어 산화 환경에 대한 노출기간이 길어지고 산-발생 광물이 소모되면서 광미 내 pH 감소속도는 점차적으로 줄어들게 될 뿐만 아니라 주변 모암 내 함유된 방해석과의 중화반응이 더 크게 기여함으로써 광미의 pH는 증가한 것으로 생각된다. 이러한 광미 내 pH의 상승으로 인하여 이차적으로 생성된 스코로다이트의 안정도가 감소하면서 비소가 재용출 되어진다. 또한 방해석과 스코로다이트로부터 용출된 칼슘이온과 비소이온이 국부적으로 농집되면서 삼차적으로 유코나이트로 성장하게 되고, 이러한 비산염광물의 일종인 유코나이트는 비소의 함량이 높은 광물로서 비소를 고정화시키는데 크게 기여한 것으로 판단된다. 뿐만 아니라 광미의 주요한 일차광물인 황철석이 풍화되면서 생성된 다량의 철 (산)수산화물은 비소의 거동에 대하여 제어능력이 큰 것으로 인지되었다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 이러한 일련의 과정에 통하여 일차적으로 용출되거나 이차적으로 재용출된 비소는 흡착, 공침, 흡수 등과 같은 다양한 수착 반응들로 인해 고정화됨을 확인하였다.
