Abstract

Biofiltration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) was performed for 80 days in a biofilter packed with peat. The empty bed residence time was 3.2 min. for a gas mixture of isoprene, dimethyl sulfide, chloroform. benzene, trichlorethylene, toluene, m0xylene, o-xylene and styrene. After 34 days of acclimatization the removal efficiency for a 83 g/㎥ gas input was 93% at $25^{circ}C$ and 73% at $45^{circ}C$, respectively. The maximum cell density at $25^{circ}C$ was 1.12$\times$10(sup)8 cells/g. Removal efficiencies of m-xylene and toluene (91%) were better than that of benzene (86%). The first quarter of the packed column removed 60% of the incoming VOCs.

실험실 규모의 생불여과기에 peat들 패깅하여 휘발성 유기 화합물 (isoprene, dimethyl 야dfide, 블로르포륨, 벤젠, 삼염화에 헬렌, 툴루엔. m-자일렌. 0-자일렌, 스타이렌)의 분해 정도를 가스 처l류시간을 3.2분으로 하여 80일간 측정하였다. 34일의 적응기간이 지난 후 $65~83 g/m^3$로 유입되는 VOC의 분해율 이 $25^{circ}C$액서는 93%이었으나 $45^{circ}C$에서는 여 보다 낮은 73%이었다. $25^{circ}C$에서 77일 후 도달한 최고 세포농도논 초기 농도 의 약 100배인 $1.12\times10^8$세포/g 이었다, 그러나 $45^{circ}C$C에서 도 달한 최고 세포농도는 이의 10분의 1에 불과하였다. m-자이렌과 툴루엔의 분해율 (91 %)에 비하여 벤젠의 분해율 (86%)이 낮았다. 생불여과기의 패정된 부분을 네 구간으로 나누었 을 때 가스가 유입되는 저음 사분회 일에 해당하는 부분에서 VOC의 분해율이 60%에 도달하였다 본 연구는 휘발생 유해 물질 혼합처l를 생붙여과법에 의해 처리하는 것이 가능함을 보여주었고 이러한 기술을 현장에서 배출되는 대기유해풀 칠의 효율적 저감에 적용하면 대기보첸에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
