초록

본 연구에서는 다매체 퓨가시티 모델을 기반으로 Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) 방지기술의 인체위해성·환경성·경제성 평가를 수행하여 석유화학 산업단지 내 VOCs 저감을 위한 최적가용기법(Best available technology, BAT)을 선정하였다. 다매체 퓨가시티 모델을 이용하여 U-city에 소재한 석유화학 산업단지에서 배출되는 VOCs 중 Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylene (BTEX)의 다매체 거동 특성과 잔류농도 분포를 예측하였다. 매체 통합 인체위해성 평가 및 민감도 분석을 이용해 BTEX의 물질별 인체위해성을 예측하고 주요 영향 변수를 규명하였으며, 다매체 환경시스템 내 잔류농도 기준의 환경성 평가와 비용-편익 경제성 평가를 수행하여 우수환경관리기법군(BAT군)을 선정하였다. BTEX의 다매체 거동 분석 결과, 토양 매체에서 높은 잔류 분포 특성(60%, 61%, 64%, 63%)을 보였으며, Xylene은 모든 다매체 환경에서 가장 높은 잔류성을 보였다. BAT후보군 중에서 흡수법은 가장 높은 인체위해성을 보여 BAT 선정에서 제외하였으며, 민감도 분석 결과 대기 매체에서의 물질 반감기와 경로별 노출계수가 인체위해성과 높은 상관성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 환경성 평가와 비용-편익 경제성 평가를 고려하여, 재생 열산화법, 재생 촉매산화법, 바이오 필터법, UV 산화법, 활성탄 흡착법을 석유화학 산업단지 내 VOCs 저감을 위한 BAT군으로 선정하였으며, 본 연구에서 제시한 매체통합적 접근 방식의 BAT 선정 방법론은 사업장에서 오염물질 저감을 위한 최적의 배출시설 선정과 통합환경관리제도 운영에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Determination of Best available technology (BAT) was suggested to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a petrochemical industrial complex, by conducting human health risk, environmental, and economic assessment based on multimedia fugacity model. Fate and distribution of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) was predicted by the multimedia fugacity model, which represent VOCs emitted from the industrial complex in U-city. Media-integrated human health risk assessment and sensitivity analysis were conducted to predict the human health risk of BTEX and identify the critical variable which has adverse effects on human health. Besides, the environmental and economic assessment was conducted to determine the BAT for VOCs reduction. It is concluded that BTEX highly remained in soil media (60%, 61%, 64% and 63%), and xylene has remained as the highest proportion of BTEX in each environment media. From the candidates of BAT, the absorption was excluded due to its high human health risk. Moreover, it is identified that the half-life and exposure coefficient of each exposure route are highly correlated with human health risk by sensitivity analysis. In last, considering environmental and economic assessment, the regenerative thermal oxidation, the regenerative catalytic oxidation, the bio-filtration, the UV oxidation, and the activated carbon adsorption were determined as BAT for reducing VOCs in the petrochemical industrial complex. The suggested BAT determination methodology based on the media-integrated approach can contribute to the application of BAT into the workplace to efficiently manage the discharge facilities and operate an integrated environmental management system.
