    Activated carbon is prepared by bamboo for the selective recovery of tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide (TMAH), contained in waste water from semiconductive industry, at the end of pipe of the plant. The adsorption ability of the activated carbon from bamboo (BAC) is comparable to the commercial activated carbons. The adsorption of TMAH with BAC in batchwise system increases with increase in pH value of the aqueous solution, and the effective adsorption and elution yield is also obtained in column system. Quantitative adsorption–elution processing can be achieved with the present BAC, and thus indicating the BAC is effective material as the adsorbent of TMAH at the end of pipe of the plant.

    For the development of functional material using coal fly ash discharged from thermal power plants, we have prepared zeolitic adsorbents derived from alkaline fused coal fly ash in several aqueous saline media to obtain the optimized preparation condition. The NH4+ exchange capacity of the product prepared at 80°C for 12 hours in diluted seawater using the precursor fused at 500°C was 4.6 mmol⁄g which is equivalent that of product prepared in deionized water. Zeolite-X and zeolite-A were produced in all aqueous media, in addition hydroxysodalite was produced over 12 hours. It was suggested that zeolite-A transform into hydroxysodalite in the products. The zeolitic adsorbents having high ion exchange capacity could be prepared in twice diluted seawater at 6-12 hours in 80°C using a precursor fused at 500°C.

    Laboratory scale batch chromatographic reactor experiments were carried for the esterification of acetic acid with n–hexanol to synthesise a value added ester, namely n–hexyl acetate in the presence of an ion exchange resin catalyst, Purolite CT–124. The effect of various parameters such as solvent flow rates in the regeneration step, amount of reactants in the reaction step and reaction step time was studied for optimisation of the reaction condition in a batch chromatographic reactor. This information would be useful for the design, operation and optimisation of n–hexyl acetate synthesis in a continuous chromatographic reactor.

    Sorption equilibrium of phosphoric acid by strongly basic anion-exchange membrane (SELEMION AMV) was studied to determine the selectivities of ionic species of phosphoric acid. The sorption of phosphoric acid by the membrane increased with increase in the phosphate concentration in the solution and pH. The sorption characteristics were successfully explained by the ion-exchange model considering the dissociation of phosphoric acid in the solution, electro-neutrality in the solution and in the membrane, and material balances of chemical species.
