Abstract

In this research a adsorbent, PVA-Zeolite bead, was prepared by immobilizing zeolite with PVA. The results of XRD and SEM analysis showed that the prepared PVA-Zeolite beads had porous structure and the zeolite particles were in mobilized within the internal matrix of the beads. The adsorption properties of Sr ion and Cs ion with the adsorbent were studied by different parameters such as effect of pH, adsorption rate, and adsorption isotherm. The adsorption of Sr ion and Cs ion reached equilibrium after 540 minutes. The adsorption kinetics of both ions by the PVA-Zeolite beads were fitted well by the pseudo-second-order model more than pseudo-first-order model. The equilibrium data fitted well with Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacities of Sr ion and Cs ion calculated from Langmuir isotherm model were 52.08 mg/g and 58.14 mg/g, respectively. The external mass transfer step was very fast compared to the intra-particle diffusion step in the adsorption process of Cs ion and Sr ion by the PVA-Zeolite beads. This result implied that the rate controlling step was the intra-particle diffusion step.

본 연구에서는 제올라이트를 PVA에 고정화시켜 새로운 흡착제인 PVA-Zeolite 비드를 제조하고, XRD 및 SEM 분석을 통해 제조한 PVA-Zeolite 비드는 내부에 제올라이트가 잘 고정화된 다공성 구조를 가지고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 제조한 흡착제에 의한 Cs 이온과 Sr 이온에 대한 흡착특성을 살펴보기 위하여 pH의 영향, 흡착속도, 흡착등온을 검토하였다. Sr 및 Cs 이온에 대한 평형흡착시간은 약 540 min으로 나타났으며, 흡착속도는 유사 1차 속도식 보다는 유사 2차 속도식에 더 잘 부합하였다. 흡착평형 실험결과는 Langmuir 등온식에 잘 적용되었으며, Langmuir 등온식으로부터 구한 Sr 이온과 Cs 이온의 최대 흡착량은 각각 52.08 mg/g와 58.14 mg/g이었다. PVA-Zeolite 비드에 의한 Sr 이온과 Cs 이온의 흡착공정은 외부물질전달단계는 매우 빠르게 이루어지며, 내부입자확산에 의한 흡착반응은 느리게 진행되어 내부입자확산 단계가 흡착속도 결정단계인 것으로 판단된다.
