갈조류인 Sargassum horneri를 중금속 흡착제로 사용하여 중금속 Cd(II) 및 Pb(II)이온을 제거하였다. Sargassum horneri는 동해안에서 채취하였고, 풍건 건조시켜 40~60 mesh의 입자 크기로 흡착제를 만들어 사용하였다. batch법은 진탕 시간에 따른 흡착량을 측정함으로써 흡착속도를 조사하였고, column법은 해조 분말을 충진 시킨후 일정농도의 중금속용액을 1 mL/min의 속도로 흘려보내면서 흡착시키고 흡착량을 알아 보았다. 중금석 흡착에 미치는 pH의 영향은 batch법과 column법 모두, pH 10.5>7.0>3.5순으로 나타났다. Pb(II)이온이 Cd(II)이온보다 높은 흡착량을 보였다. 특히 batch법에서는 모든 pH의 조건하에서 5분이내에 최대 흡착량에 도달하였다. 회수율은 batch법에 의해 흡착된 중금속의 회수율이 column법에 의해 흡착된 중금속의 회수율 보다 조금 높게 나타났다.
Brown algae, Sargassum horneri, was used as an adsorbent to remove heavy metal Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions. Sargassum horneri picked in East Coast was formulated into the grain with the size of 40-60 mesh after wind dry. Batch method was used in order to investigate the adsorption rate by measuring the adsorption amounts with shaking time. In the column method, the adsorption amounts were measured by flowing metal solutions into the algae-packed column at the rate of 1 ml/min. Adsorption amounts in both batch method and column method were in the following order : pH 10.5>7.0>3.5. It was found that Pb(II) was more adsorbed on the algae grain than Cd(II). It was also revealed that the adsorption amounts reached the maximum within 5 minutes irrespective of pH condition in the batch method. It was concluded that the batch method was more effective than the column method in terms of recovery rate.
