Abstract

The objective of this study lies in identifying the applicability of zeolite for the removal of wastewater ammonium and nitrate nitrogens. To this end, the author tracked adsorption variations as seen with the adsorption removal of wastewater ammonium and nitrate nitrogens. As a result, it was indicated that the maximum adsorption of zeolite acting on the adsorption removal of ammonium nitrogen would reach 120mg/g (weight of ammonium nitrogen divided by that of zeolite), and that Langmuir adsorption isotherm explained the adsorption of ammonium and nitrate nitrogens better than Freundlich adsorption isotherm. This means that zeolite makes ion exchanges with adsorbate for unilayer adsorption. It was also indicated that the removal efficiency of ammonium nitrogen with varying pH would be higher in the order of pH7 > pH5 > pH9 > pH3.

본 연구는 제올라이트를 이용한 수중의 암모니아성질소 및 질산성질소 제거특성을 알아보고자 수중의 암모니아성질소 및 질산성질소의 흡착제거에 대한 흡착변화를 조사하였다. 연구결과 암모니아성질소 흡착제거에 대한 제올라이트의 최대흡착량은 120mg/g(암모니아성질소 / 제올라이트 무게)임을 알 수 있었고, 암모니아성 및 질산성질소의 흡착에 대해 Freundlich식과 Langmuir식을 비교해 보았을 때 Langmuir 등온흡착식에 더 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 이는 제올라이트가 피흡착제와 이온교환 및 단층흡착함을 의미한다. 또한, pH 변화에 따른 암모니아성질소의 처리효율은 pH 7 > pH 5 > pH 9 > pH 3 순임을 알 수 있었으며, 제올라이트가 암모니아성질소 인공폐수의 pH를 상승시킴을 알 수 있었다.
