Liquid phase adsorption equilibria of amines in an aqueous solution onto high silica zeolite pellets (HSZ), macroreticular resin particles (MR) and granular activated carbon (GAC) were determined using a batch bottle technique at 298K. The isotherm curves of HSZ-amines and GAC-amines indicate the nonlinear relationship of unfavorable adsorption type of HSZ-amines and favourable one of GAC-amines. However the curves of MR-amines represent the linear pattern of an adsorption isotherm. Among various equilibrium isotherms, the three parameters of the Redlich-Peterson equation and the two parameters of the Freundlich equation are found to be the most satisfactory within the range of this study. The two parameters of the Langmuir isotherm were not applicable to the present adsorption systems. The amines were adsorbed on the HSZ, MR and GAC in the following sequence of adsorptivity; aromatic amines>primary amines>secondary amines. The product of the Freundlich constants, k and n, proportionally increased with the boiling point, molar volume and dissociation constants of amines adsorbed on HSZ, MR and GAC.

고시리카제올라이트(HSZ), 거대망상수지입자(MR) 및 입상활성탄(GAC)에 의한 수용액중의 12가지 아민유도체의 평형흡착 실험 데이터와 Freundlich, Langmuir, 쌔소, Redlich-Peterson 식의 인자들을 각각 구하였다. 아민류의 흡착특징에 있어서는 고시리카제올라이트는 unfavourable, 입상활성탄은 favourable로 비선형이나, 거대망상수지흡착제는 선형관계의 특성을 나타내며, 변수가 2개인 Freundlich 식과 3개인 Redlich-Peterson 흡착등온식에 잘 일치하였다. HSZ, MR, GAC에 의한 아민류의 흡착능은 방향족>1급아민>2급아민 순이었으며, Freundlich상수 k와 n의 곱인 (k·n)값은 HSZ와 MR 및 GAC에서 아민류의 끓는 점 TB, 몰부피 Vm, 그리고 해리상수 pKa에 비례하여 증가하였다.
