Abstract

In order to apply a photocatalyst (TiO2) to various building materials, TiO2-mayenite was prepared in this study. The TiO2 was synthesized using the sol-gel method by fixing titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) and urea at a ratio of 1 : 1. Later, they were calcined in a temperature range of 400-700 ℃ to analyze the properties according to temperature. BET, TGA, and XRD were used to analyze the physical and chemical properties of TiO2. The nitrogen oxide removal test was confirmed by measuring the change in the concentration of NO for 1 h according to KS L ISO 22197-1. The prepared TiO2 samples exhibited an anatase crystal structure below 600 ℃, and TiO2 (urea)-400 showed the highest nitrogen oxide removal rate at 2.35 µmol h-1. TiO2-mayenite was prepared using two methods: spraying TiO2 dispersion solution (s/s) and sol-gel solution (g/s). Through BET and XRD analysis, it was found that 5-TiO2 (g/s) prepared by spraying a sol-gel solution has maintained its crystallinity even after heat treatment. Also, 5-TiO2 (g/s)-500 showed the highest removal rate of 0.55 µmol h-1 in the nitrogen oxide removal test. To prepare TiO2-mayenite, it was confirmed that mayenite should be blended with TiO2 in a sol-gel state to maintain the crystal structure and exhibit a high nitrogen oxide removal rate.

다양한 건축재료에 광촉매(TiO2)를 적용하기 위하여 TiO2-mayenite를 제조하였다. TiO2는 졸-겔법을 사용하여 titanium isopropoxide (TTIP)와 urea를 1:1의 비율로 고정하여 합성하였다. 그 후 온도범위 400 - 700 ℃로 소성하여 온도에 따른 특성을 분석하였다. TiO2의 물리 및 화학적 특성은 BET, TGA 그리고 XRD를 통해 분석되었다. 질소산화물 제거 실험은 KS L ISO 22197-1에 의거하여 1 시간 동안의 NO의 농도변화를 측정하여 확인하였다. 제조된 입자들은 600 ℃ 이하에서 아나타제 결정구조를 나타내었고, TiO2 (urea)-400에서 2.35 µmol h-1의 가장 높은 질소산화물 제거율을 나타내었다. TiO2-mayenite는 TiO2 분산 용액을 스프레이하는 방법(s/s)과 졸-겔 상태의 용액을 스프레이 하는 방법(g/s)으로 제조하였다. BET와 XRD 분석을 통하여, 제조된 TiO2-mayenite는 졸-겔 상태의 용액을 스프레이 하여 제조한 5-TiO2 (g/s) 입자가 열처리에도 결정구조를 유지하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 질소산화물 제거 실험에서도 5-TiO2 (g/s)-500 입자에서 0.55 µmol h-1의 가장 높은 제거율을 나타내었다. 결론적으로 TiO2-mayenite를 제조하기 위하여 TiO2는 졸-겔 상태에서 mayenite에 결합시켜야 결정구조를 유지하며, 높은 질소산화물 제거 능력을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.
