The ion exchange characteristic of quaternary ammonium as functional group containing aminated acrylic fibrous ion exchanger were studied for the adsorption of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate(LAS) in a continuous ion exchange process. The adsorption capacities of aminated acrylic for LAS as the adsorption temperature were increased with increasing adsorption temperature and were equilibrated at 40 ℃. The maximum adsorption capacities as column packing ratio(L/D) were obtained at L/D >2. The adsorption capacity for LAS was increased with increasing pH and the maximum adsorption capacity as pH was obtained at pH 7. The effects of temperature and pH were similar to those of flow rate and concentration of LAS on the breakthrough curves, the breakthrough time and slope of breakthrough curves decreased with increasing flow rate and concentration of LAS in adsorption process.

4급 암모늄기를 관능기로 갖는 아민화 아크릴계 이온교환섬유를 이용하여 연속식 흡착공정 중 linear alkylbenzene sulfonate(LAS)의 흡착특성을 확인하였다. 아민화 아크릴계 이온교환섬유의 LAS흡착성능은 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며 40 ℃에서 최적 흡착성능을 나타내었다. 또한 컬럼 베드 충진비(L/D)의 변화에 따른 LAS 이온의 흡착능은 L/D >2에서 최대 흡착능을 나타내었다. pH 변화에 따른 LAS이온 흡착능은 pH가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, pH 7에서 최대 흡착능을 나타내었다. 유속변화에 따른 LAS 흡착능은 유속이 증가할수록 낮아졌으며 농도가 높을수록 떨어졌다.
