The widespread occurrence of dissolved endocrine disrupting compounds(EDCs) and pharmaceutical active compounds(PhACs) in water sources is of concern due to their adverse effects. To remove these chemicals, adsorption of EDCs/PhACs on granular activated carbon(GAC) was investigated, and bisphenol A, carbamazepine, diclofenac, ibuprofen, and sulfamethoxazole were selected as commonly occurring EDCs/PhACs in the aquatic environment. Various adsorption isotherms were applied to evaluate compatability with each adsorption in the condition of single-solute. Removal difference between individual and competitive adsorption were investigated from the physicochemical properties of each adsorbate. Hydrophobicity interaction was the main adsorption mechanism in the single-solute adsorption with order of maximum adsorption capacity as bisphenol A ≻ carbamazepine ≻ sulfamethoxazole ≻ diclofenac ≻ ibuprofen, while both hydrophobicity and molecular size play significant roles in competitive adsorption. Adsorption kinetic was also controled by hydrophobicity of each adsorbate resulting in higher hydrophobicity allowed faster adsorption on available adsorption site on GAC. EDCs/PhACs adsorption on GAC was determined as an endothermic reaction resulting in better adsorption at higher temperature (40 ◦C) than lower temperature (10 ◦C#x25E6;C).

The purpose of this study is to develop a durable packaging concrete using silica - based LCD waste glass. In order to verify the performance of the waste glass mixed pavement concrete, four types of concrete mixture were classified into general concrete, fly ash concrete, LCD concrete and LCD + fly ash concrete. The performance of the durable concrete pavement was tested for compressive strength, alkali - silica reaction, freezing - thawing, saltation and abrasion resistance. The purpose of this study was to develop a high - performance pavement concrete manufacturing technology using LCD waste glass powder.
