Abstract

Two types of synthetic zeolites, commercially used (Z-WK) and synthesized by coal fly ash (Z-C1), and raw coal fly ash(F-C1) were examined for its kinetics and adsorption capacities of cobalt. Experimental data are fitted with kinetic models, Lagergen $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ order models, and four types of adsorption isotherm models, Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich-Peterson, and Koble-Corrigan. Synthesized zeolite (Z-C1) which had 1.51 of Si/Al ratio was synthesized by raw coal fly ash from a thermal power plant. Adsorption capacities with three types of adsorbents, Z-WK, Z-C1, and F-C1, were in the order of Z-C1 (94.15 mg/g) > F-C1 (92.94 mg/g) > Z-WK (88.56mg/g). The adsorption kinetics of Z-WK and Z-C1 with cobalt could be accurately described by a pseudo-second-order rate equation. The adsorption isotherms of Z-WK and Z-C1 with cobalt were well fitted by the Langmuir and Redlich-Peterson equation. Z-C1 will be used to remove cobalt in water as a more efficient absorbent.

본 연구는 상용 합성 제올라이트(Z-WK), 석탄계 비산재를 이용한 합성 제올라이트(Z-C1) 및 비산재(F-C1)를 이용하여 Lagergen 1차 및 2차 속도식과 Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich-Peterson 및 Koble-Corrigan 식에 의해 코발트(Co)의 흡착속도와 평형흡착 특성을 평가하였다. 석탄계 비산재를 이용하여 Si/Al 비가 1.51인 제올라이트(Z-C1)를 제조하였으며, 흡착제 종류에 따른 Co 흡착량은 Z-C1(94.15mg/g) > F-C1(92.94mg/g) > Z-WK(88.56mg/g)순이었다. Z-WK와 Z-C1의 Co 흡착속도는 유사 2차 반응식으로서 정확한 예측이 가능하였다. Z-WK와 Z-C1의 Co 평형흡착량은 Langmuir 식과 Redlich-Peterson 식으로 잘 예측할 수 있었다. Z-C1은 수중의 Co 제거를 위한 유용한 흡착제로 사용이 가능할 것이다.
