Abstract

We propose an air purification system that utilizes aerial plant parts and root zone of indoor plants where light is insufficient and air circulation is bad. In order to maximize the air purification effect of the plant, the aerial plant parts illuminates mixed light combining blue and green LED and CRI(Color Rendering Index) LEDs close to natural light, respectively. And the root zone was forcibly circulated by the fan to use the soil as a filter. The indoor air purification system combined with the light source and the fan removed most polluted air in the shortest. In the case of mixed light and CRI LEDs of indoor air purification system, fine dust decreased by 14%, 14.2%, and TVOC(Total volatile organic compounds) decreased by 7.5% and 9.4%, respectively. In the experiment in which the fan was operated for 15 minutes, the TVOC decreased to 97.8%. The photosynthesis of the plant and the use of soil as a filter were able to purify polluted air in a short time. And the fan's temporary operation gave the similar effect of continuous operation.

빛이 부족하고 공기 순환이 원활하지 않은 실내에서 식물의 지상부와 지하부를 활용한 공기 정화 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 식물의 공기정화 효과를 극대화하고자 지상부는 청색과 녹색의 LED를 조합한 혼합광과 자연광에 가까운 고연색 LED를 각각 조사하고 지하부의 토양을 필터로 활용하고자 팬을 이용하여 강제 순환하였다. 광원과 팬이 결합된 실내공기정화 시스템이 식물만 배치된 경우보다 오염된 공기를 단시간에 가장 많이 제거하였다. 실내 공기정화 시스템의 혼합광과 고연색광 두 가지의 경우에서 식물만 배치된 경우보다 미세먼지는 각각 14%, 14.2%, TVOC는 7.5%, 9.4% 로 더 크게 감소하였다. 팬을 15분 동안만 가동한 실험에서도 TVOC가 97.8%로 크게 감소하였다. 식물의 광합성과 토양을 필터로 활용하는 것이 오염된 공기를 짧은 시간에 정화시킬 수 있었고 팬의 일시적인 가동으로도 지속적인 가동의 효과를 얻었다.
