The purpose of this study is to confirm the removal effect of odorous gas through the multi process. The combination of Scrubber, UV and Adsorption was analyzed using the odor gas of reservoir. Analysis was carried out for six times in total and collection was made once per each process. Sampling was performed in the afternoon during August (1:00 pm~4:00 pm). Multi process has been designed to facilitates the accessories exchange. The advantage is that it facilitates the replacement of the activated carbon and it is convenient to change the type of chemical according to the type of pollution materials. As a result, for odor gas removal efficiency, ammonia 91.8%, trimethylamine 72.0%, hydrogen sulfide 99.9%, methyl mercaptan 99.9% were removed respectively. Removal efficiency of the process is the scrubber (alkali), activated carbon adsorption, scrubber (acid) and UV procedure from the highest order. Further studies on the operating method and efficiency of multi process by the change of wind speed and chemical are recommended.

HFCs, PFCs 및 SF6 등으로 대표되는 불화가스는 반감기가 길고 지구온난화지수(GWP)가 높아서 그 발생량에 비해 지구온난화에 미치는 영향이 상대적으로 높다. 특히 반도체/LCD 제조공정에서 발생하는 폐 PFCs는 저농도로 분리농축공정의 경우 공정 특성 상 정압제어가 가능한 기술이어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이를 고려한 분리·농축 시스템으로 분리막시스템과 혼성시스템(분리막+흡착)을 설계, 제작하여 비교연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 불화가스 농축도는 분리막시스템이 혼성시스템에 비해 높았으나, 회수율은 낮았으며 혼성시스템의 경우 대체적으로 농축도는 낮은 반면, 회수율은 높은 결과를 보였다.

We investigated the adsorption of Na on graphene and graphene oxide, which are used as anode materials in sodium ion batteries, using density functional theory. The adsorption energy for Na on graphene was -0.507 eV at the hollow sites, implying that adsorption was favorable. In the case of graphene oxide, Na atoms were separately adsorbed on the epoxide and hydroxyl functional groups. The adsorption of Na on graphene oxide-epoxide (adsorption energy of -1.024 eV) was found to be stronger than the adsorption of Na on pristine graphene. However, the adsorption of Na on graphene oxide-hydroxyl resulted in the generation of NaOH as a by-product. Using density of states (DOS) calculations, we found that the DOS of the Na-adsorbed graphene was shifted down more than that of the Na-adsorbed graphene oxide-epoxide. In addition, the intensity of the DOS around the Fermi level for the Na-adsorbed graphene was higher than that for the Na-adsorbed graphene oxide-epoxide.

The adsorption/desorption characteristics of toluene vapors filled with activated carbon(AC) were studied. Adsorption performance of AC was investigated according to flow rate, moisture content, and other factors. The breakthrough time was shortened as the flow rate and moisture content increased. The AC loaded with toluene was regenerated by programmed heating and pressure. AC was regenerated well, as the conditions of heating temperature(80oC) and pressure(100 torr) were appropriate. Toluene is more easily removed at low temperature than through thermal desorption methods. The test of AC regeneration was carried out three times.

Activated carbon fibers(ACFs) were prepared in this research from a polyacrylonitrile(PAN) precursor with the KOH(1~4 M) pretreatment and following activation at 800oC in a lab-scale. The sample ACFs were characterized according to their textural properties, and evaluated for CO2 adsorption capacity. The surface area and pore volume of ACFs increased according to the pretreatment with KOH; for example, 4M-KOH aqueous solution resulted in 1552.5 m2/g specific surface area and 0.605 cc/g pore volume. It also showed high CO2 adsorption amount(3.11 mmol/g) which showed a proportional increase with reaction pressure.

H2S adsorption characteristics of adsorbent made by coffee waste were investigated. For analyses of the manufactured adsorbent, various methods such as scanning electron microscope(SEM), measurements of BET(Brunauer Emmett Teller) surface area, pH, and Iodide adsorption were adopted. As major adsorption characteristics, adsorption equilibrium capacity was measured by using a batch type experimental apparatus for operating variables such as adsorption temperature(25～45℃), adsorbent types. The experimental result showed that the H2S adsorption equilibrium capacity of adsorbent made by coffee waste much more increases with steam activation for the coffee waste.

High crystallinity coke-based activated carbon (hc-AC) is prepared using a potassium hydroxide solution to adsorb carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 adsorption characteristics of the prepared hc-AC are investigated at different temperatures. The X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that pitch-based cokes prepared under high temperature and pressure have a high crystal structure. The textural properties of hc-AC indicate that it consists mainly of slit-like pores. Compared to other textural forms of AC that have higher pore volumes, this slit-poreshaped hc-AC exhibits higher CO2 adsorption due to the similar shape between its pores and CO2 molecules. Additionally, in these high-crystallinity cokes, the main factor affecting CO2 adsorption at lower temperature is the pore structure, whereas the presence of oxygen functional groups on the surface has a greater impact on CO2 adsorption at higher temperature.

In this work, nanoporous carbons (NPCs) were prepared by the self-assembly of polymeric carbon precursors and block copolymer template in the presence of tetraethyl orthosilicate and colloidal silica. The NPCs' pore structures and total pore volumes were analyzed by reference to N2/77 K adsorption isotherms. The porosity and elemental mercury adsorption of NPCs were increased by activation with carbon dioxide. It could be resulted that elemental mercury adsorption ability of NPCs depended on their specific surface area and micropore fraction.

In order to minimize a building energy consumption with ventilation, a development of smart ventilation system is very important. In this study, a dry adsorbent that is main element of smart ventilation system was developed for removing indoor CO2, and evaluate the adsorption performance. Specific surface area, pore characteristic and crystal structure of the modified sorbent was measured to analyze physical properties. From this analysis, it was found that the developed absorbent has a low specific surface area, due to mesopores of substrate was filled with metal contained raw material. Additionally, through analysis of the adsorption properties, the developed adsorbent was shown a adsorption form of mesopore (type Ⅳ), which means adsorption amount was rapidly increased at the part of high-pressure. Order to applying for the field, chamber test was performed. Continuous column tests (2,500 ppm) and batch chamber tests (4 m3, 5,000 ppm) showed CO2 removal efficiency of 95% and 88% within 1 hour, respectively.

Recent studies have been reported the presence of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds, Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (EDC/PPCPs) in surface and wastewater, which could potentially affect to the complicate behavior in coupled presence of nano-colloid particles and surfactants (adsorption, dispersion, and partitioning). In this study, the adsorption of EDC/PPCPs by Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs) as a representative of nano-particles in cationic surfactant solutions were investigated. Hydrophobic interactions (π-π Electron Donor-Acceptor) have been reported as a potential adsorption mechanisms for EDC/PPCPs onto SWNTs. Generally, the adsorptive capacity of the relatively hydrophobic EDC/PPCPs onto SWNTs decreased in the presence of cationic surfactant (Cetyltrimethyl Ammonium Bromide, CTAB). This study revealed that the competitive adsorption occurred between CTAB cations and EDC/PPCPs by occupying the available SWNT surface (CTAB adsorption onto SWNTs shows five-regime and maximum adsorption capacity of 370.4 mg/g by applying the BET isotherm). The adsorption capacity of 17α-ethinyl estradiol (EE2) on SWNT showed the decrease of 48% in the presence of CTAB. However, the adsorbed naproxen (NAP) surely increased by forming hemimicelles and resulted in a favorable media formation for NAP partition to increase SWNTs adsorption capacity. The adsorbed NAP increased from 24 to 82.9 mg/g after the interaction of CTAB with NAP. The competitive adsorption for EDC/PPCPs onto SWNTs is likely to be a key factor in the presence of cationic surfactant, however, NAP adsorption showed a slight competition through CH3-CH3 interaction by forming hemimicelles on SWNT surface.

The adsorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) was carried out using an activated carbon fiber (ACF) filter in an automobile. The adsorption capacities of formaldehyde, toluene, and benzene on an ACF filter were far better than those of a polypropylene (PP) mat filter and combined (PP+activated carbon) mat filter by batch adsorption in a gas bag. In a continuous flow of air containing toluene vapor through an ACF packed bed, the breakpoint time was very long, the length of the unused bed was short, and sharp "S" -type breakthrough curve was plotted soon after breakpoint, showing a narrow mass transfer zone of toluene on the ACF. The adsorption amount of toluene on the ACF filter was proportional to the specific surface area of the ACF; however, the development of mesopores 2-5 nm in size on the ACF was very effective with regard to the adsorption of toluene. The ACF air clarifier filter is strongly recommended to remove VOCs in newly produced automobiles.

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).

목적: 새로운 실리콘 모노머를 사용하여 제조한 실리콘하이드로겔 콘택트렌즈와 2종류의 시판용 렌즈에 hyaluronan을 첨가한 다음 lysozyme, albumin, globulin 3종류 단백질에 대한 흡착량의 변화를 살펴보고자 한다. 방법: 실험실에서 제조한 렌즈는 HEMA(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 96%, Junsei)와 TRIM (3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate, 98%, Aldrich) 등의 모노머를 사용하여 cast mould 방법으로 제조하였다. HA(Hyaluronic acid, LifeCore Biomedical) 첨가는 HA 에탄올 용액과 EDC (1-(3-(Dimethylamino)propyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide methiodide, Aldrich) 용액을 사용하였다. HA의 첨가 전 후 렌즈의 함수율, 광 투과율 등의 물리적 특성 변화와 lysozyme, albumin, globulin이 포함된 인공눈물을 제조하여 48시간 동안 흡착량 변화를 살펴보았다. 각각의 단백질은 HPLC로 정량하였다. 결과: HA가 첨가된 렌즈의 함수율은 첨가 전의 값에 비해 약 10% 증가하였으며, 광 투과율은 큰 변화가 없었다. HA를 첨가한 렌즈에서 시간에 따른 HA의 용출량은 48시간 동안 지수함수 형태로 증가하였다. HA가 첨가되지 않은 렌즈에 비해 HA를 첨가한 모든 렌즈에서 단백질 흡착량이 감소하였으며, 흡착시간이 경과함에 따라 그 감소효과가 크게 줄었다. 단백질의 종류에 따른 흡착량은 lysozyme>globulin>albumin의 순으로 감소하였으며, SHL 렌즈에서 최대 80% 이상 감소하였다. 결 론: Hyaluronan이 첨가된 모든 실리콘하이드로겔 콘택트렌즈에서 단백질 흡착량이 감소하였다. 실리콘하이드로겔 렌즈에 3종류 단백질의 흡착 특성은 렌즈 표면의 친수성에 가장 크게 영향을 받음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 수소결합이 가능한 hyaluronan의 첨가로 인해 렌즈의 친수성을 증가시키고 이로 인해 단백질의 구조적 변성을 방지하여 단백질 흡착을 억제하는 것으로 생각된다.

Three activated carbons (ACs) were prepared using NaOH (N) as an activating agent. Hy-drofluoricacid pre-leached rice husk was used as a precursor. After leaching, the precursor was washed with distilled water, dried, crushed, and then sieved; a size fraction of 0.3-0.5 mm was selected for carbonization in the absence of air at 600°C. The carbonization prod-uct (LC) was mixed with NaOH at ratios of 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 (wt of LC: wt of NaOH) and the produced ACs after activation at 800°C were designated NLC21, NLC31, and NLC41, respectively. Surface and textural properties were determined using nitrogen adsorption at -196°C, scanning electron microscopy images, thermogravimetric analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectra . These ACs were used as adsorbents for lead(II) from aqueous solutions. The effects of the textural properties and the chemistry of the carbon surfaces were investigated and the impact of the operation conditions on the capacity for lead(II) sorption was also considered. Modificationof NLC41 with H2O2 and HNO3 gave two other adsorbents, HNLC41 and NNLC41 respectively. These two new samples exhibited the highest removal capacities for lead(II), i.e.117.5 and 128.2 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption data fittedthe Langmuir isotherm and the kinetic adsorption followed pseudo-second order kinet-ics. The thermodynamic parameters have been determined and they indicated a spontaneous endothermic process.

Recently, functional building materials which are made of sorption materials have been widely used as board products, inorganic paints and wall papers. These remove chemical substances(VOCs, HCHO) from indoor air by physical sorption or chemical reaction and control humidity by capillary condensation. Also these materials have been used as countermeasures to sick building syndrome (SBS). However, in case of using internal building materials, the hazardous substances affecting to indoor air quality are emitted from not only the material itself but also the subsidiary materials such as adhesives for construction. Particularly in case of wallpaper and flooring material, the amount of emission from adhesives for construction is larger than that from the material itself. Therefore, this research tried to develop a technology system that can improve the performance of adsorption, absorption and desorption of moisture including the construction process that can affect to indoor air quality. To attend this end, ‘porous securement manufacturing technology system’ and ‘porous keeping construction technology system’ are developed that can secure more micropores in the process of production and construction of inorganic paint and maintain them. Consequently the reduction performance of chemical substances(VOCs, HCHO) concentrations and the humidity control performance improved almost over 30% by the technology system of the Inorganic paint.

Expanded graphite (EG) was prepared using a drying process for application as an oil-adsorbent: the morphology, expansion volume, and oil absorption capacity of the EG were investigated. The expanded volume of the EG increased with an increasing reaction time and heat treatment temperature. The oil adsorption capacity of the EG was 45 g of n-dodecane per 1 g of EG. It is noted that the drying process of EG is a useful technique for a new oil-adsorbent.

In this study, CO₂ adsorbent was produced for minimizing energy loss due to ventilation within the building. For improved selectivity about low concentration of CO₂ in multiple-use facilities, the ball type adsorbent was modified from a commercial zeolite, alumina, alkali metals and activated carbon with mixing LiOH, binder, and H₂O. We measured specific surface area, pore characteristic, and crystal structure of the modified adsorbent. Effects of alkalization on the absorptive properties of the adsorbents were investigated. Continuous column tests (2,000 ppm) and batch chamber tests (4m3, 5,000ppm) showed that the modified adsorbent indicated about the selectivity of CO₂ more than 9.7% (0.613 mmol/g) compared with ordinary adsorbents and CO₂ removal efficiency of 88.8% within l hour, respectively. It was estimated that the modified adsorbent was applicable to indoor environments.

We study and describe-from the point of view of the interactions of the adsorbed particles-three types of the adsorption isotherms, namely, Langmuir type adsorption isotherms, phase transition type adsorption isotherms, and adsorption limited type adsorption isotherms, which are observed by experiments. By introducing and using a one dimensional statistical occupancy model, we derived analytical adsorption isotherms for the no force, the attractive force, and the repulsive force exerted on the other adsorbed particles. Our derived adsorption isotherms qualitatively pretty well agree with the experimental results of the adsorption isotherms. To specify each adsorption type, Langmuir type adsorption is a phenomenon that occurs with no forces between the adsorbed particles, phase transition type adsorption is a phenomenon that occurs with the strong attractive forces between the adsorbed particles, and adsorption limited type adsorption is a phenomenon that occurs with the repulsive forces between the adsorbed particles. The theoretical analysis-only using fundamental thermodynamics and occupancy statistics though-qualitatively quite well explains the experimental results.

고도정수처리를 위한 관형 세라믹 정밀여과와 이산화티타늄(TiO2) 광촉매 첨가 PES (polyethersulfone) 구의 혼 성공정에서 주기적 물 역세척 시 유기물질의 영향 및 정밀여과(MF), PES 구 흡착, 광산화의 역할을 막오염에 의한 저항(Rf) 및 투과선속(J), 총여과부피(VT) 측면에서 기존의 질소 역세척 결과와 비교하였다. 휴믹산 농도가 증가함에 따라 급격한 막 오염으로 Rf는 증가하고 J는 감소하여, VT는 휴믹산 농도 2 mg/L에서 가장 높았다. 탁도 처리효율은 물과 질소 역세척 모 두 휴믹산 농도와 상관없이 비슷하였다. 유기물질 처리효율은 물 역세척 경우 최대 휴믹산 10 mg/L에서 최소 71.4%이었으나, 질소 역세척에서는 거의 일정하였다. 물과 질소 역세척 모두 MF 및 PES 구, 자외선의 혼성공정(MF + TiO2 + UV)에서 Rf가 최소이고, J와 VT는 최대였다. 탁도 및 유기물질의 처리효율도 물과 질소 역세척에 상관없이 MF + TiO2 +UV에서 최대였 고, 공정이 MF로 단순화될수록 처리효율도 점차 감소하였다. 하지만 물 역세척에서는 광산화 보다 흡착이, 질소 역세척에 서는 흡착 보다 광산화가 더 주요한 역할을 하였다.
