In this study, copper oxide, manganese oxide and zeolite, clays containing catalysts were prepared to remove hydrogen sulfide emitted in odor of industry. In order to change the heat treatment temperature, a catalyst was prepared 100 degrees from 600 degrees to 1,000 degrees. GC-MS was used to confirm the hydrogen sulfide removal performance. Although the removal performance produced at 600 degrees was maintained by and large, the removal performance decreased as the temperature increased. In particular, the catalyst manufactured at 900 and 1000 degrees had low removal performance. To find out the cause of the decrease in removal performance, the analytical devices XRD, BET, XRF were used. In order to confirm the properties of the catalyst before and after adsorption, SEM-EDS and CS were used. As a result of analyzing the Cu-Mn catalyst, it was confirmed that the material was adsorbed on the surface. To confirm the adsorbent material, SEM-Mapping was employed. And it was verified that the sulfur was adsorbed. Measuring the SEM-EDS 3Point, it was confirmed to be about 25.09%. Another test method CS analyzer (Carbon/Sulfur Detector) was also deployed. As a result of the test, sulfur was confirmed to be about 27.2%. So comparing the two sets of data, it was verified that sulfur was adsorbed on the surface.
In soil ecosystems, chemicals are often found as mixtures. Therefore, the toxicity data generated by single toxicity tests are inadequate for assessing the potential risk of complex mixtures of chemicals for soil ecosystems. In the present study, the mixture toxicity of copper and manganese on the reproduction of Paronychiurus kimi were assessed using a Toxic Unit approach (1TU=EC50). The concentrations of each metal in the mixture were summed as follows: TUmixture = CCu/EC50 of Cu + CMn/EC50 of Mn, where CMetal are the concentrations of copper and manganese in the mixture. From the Sum TU based dose-response relationships, sum of a toxicunit (TU50) at 50% reduction for the mixture (EC50mix) was calculated. The binary mixture toxicity was defined as being concentration additiv (EC50mix=1TU) or as being more or less than additive (EC50mix<1TU or 1>TU, respectively). Also, values of the mixture (TUi) at i% reduction found were predicted to get more insight regarding the relationship between mixture toxicity and various effect levels (ranging from EC10 to EC90). The toxicities of copper and manganese mixtures were less than additive at the EC10 level, whereas more than additive at the EC90 level. These findings imply that the effect levels are important for determining the toxicity of metal mixtures.
