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.

유해 환경하에 노출된 숏크리트는 시간이 경과함에 따라 각종 유해이온의 침식으로 인하여 열화하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 환경에 노출된 숏크리트의 열화특성을 평가하기 위하여 황산염 및 산에 대한 화학적침식에 대하여 유해이온에 각각 60주 동안 침지한 숏크리트 코어 공시체를 대상으로 외관조사, 압축강도, 부착강도 및 기기분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 용액의 종류에 관계없이 침지재령 60주에서 균열, 박리 등으로 인한 표면손상이 심각한 상태였으며, 압축 및 부착강도는 초기재령에서는 수중양생한 공시체보다 상회하는 결과를 보였으나 장기재령에서는 역전되는 현상을 보여주었다.
