A bench-scale air biofilter was evaluated for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from a gas stream. Compost and peat were used as the biological attachment media. Biofilter operating parameters such as incoming VOCs concentrations, temperature, and packing materials were examined. After 26 days of acclimation periods, at 25$^{\circ}C$ and 45$^{\circ}C$, the biofilter removed more than 90% of 30 to 72 mg/㎥ of total VOC. After 40 days of operation, the concentrations of isoprene, toluene, and m-xylene were reduced to 96∼99, 91∼93, and 91∼93% of the original concentrations. VOC removal efficiency was not affected by the temperature. The medium pH was maintained near neutral (pH 6.5∼7.1). After 37 days of operation, the total bacteria count in the biofilter media increased to 1.12${\times}$10(sup)8 cells/g of medium.

산업발전과 공업화로 인해 VOCs의 발생이 증가하고 있고, VOCs는 불쾌감을 주며 불만을 불러일으키는 요인 중 하나이다. 이를 제어하기 위해 본 연구는 식물정유와 광촉매로 흡수제를 제조하여 벤젠과 톨루엔을 제거하고자 하였다. 식물정유물질 선정실험을 수행한 결과, 편백나무의 제거효율이 약 70%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, GC분석 결과 Monoterpene류와 Sesquiterpene로 이루어져 있음을 확인하였다. 광촉매 선정실험 결과, 광촉매 종류는 $TiO_2$의 효율이 가장 높게 나타났으며, UV lamp power는 10 W, $TiO_2$의 양은 $0.1gL^{-1}$부터 효율이 우수하게 나타났다. 수산화라디칼 생성특성 실험결과, $TiO_2$의 농도와 UV lamp power가 클수록 많은 양의 라디칼이 생성되었다. 제조된 흡수제의 제거효율 및 반응속도 실험결과, 제거효율은 최대 약 98%까지 나타났으며, 활성화 에너지는 약 $18kJmol^{-1}$로 나타났다.

Clothes that retain and emanate body odor feel uncomfortable and unclean; subsequently, the adsorption, desorption and removal amounts of malodorous compounds from fabrics with different polarities were examined. 1-Octen-3-one, octanal and isovaleric acid, which are important malodor compounds from the body, were used as volatile organic compounds (VOC). Samples were prepared with unfinished and ${\beta}$-CD finished cotton, nylon and PET fabrics. The amounts of VOCs retained on the fabrics were measured using headspace GC-MS; in addition, the odor intensity of the samples were evaluated by 10 trained panelists. The amounts adsorbed were estimated by weight gain; however, moisture was found to have a larger effect on the increase in weight than VOCs. The polarity of the VOCs decreased in the order of isovaleric acid, octanal and 1-octen-3-one. Despite the exceptionally large amounts of octanal adsorbed on the nylon sample, the amounts of malodorous compounds adsorbed on fabrics increased with the decreasing VOC molecular weight. The unfinished PET sample adsorbed more VOCs than the unfinished-fabric samples. The odor intensity was mostly weaker in the ${\beta}$-CD finished fabrics than in the unfinished fabrics. The odor intensity of the ${\beta}$-CD finished fabrics was lower than unfinished fabrics. The amount of VOCs that remained on the soiled fabric samples after storing in air for 24 hrs decreased with the increasing VOC vapor pressure. Most VOCs were removed by washing; however, more VOCs were left on the ${\beta}$-CD finished fabrics than unfinished fabrics. The intensity of the odor from the unfinished PET and ${\beta}$-CD finished fabrics was stronger and weaker, respectively, than that of other fabrics, even when the same amounts of VOCs remained.

Adsorbent combination studies have been carried out to remove nitrogen dioxide ($NO_2$) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs: BTEX) out of a subway environment characterized by high flow and low concentration. Optimal conditions for the high removal efficiency of the concerned target compounds were obtained through testing a series of control factors such as adsorbent sorts, thicknesses, and superficial velocity. It was found that the efficiencies increased as the specific surface area of activated carbon and its thickness increased, and external void fraction decreased. Furthermore, mixed activated carbon with granular and constructed contents was extensively tested to reduce pressure drop through the carbon bed. It was found that the performance of higher contents of granular activated carbon was better than that of higher contents of the constructed carbon. When the mixed carbon was applied to the subway ventilation system in order to eliminate $NO_2$ and VOC simultaneously, the removal efficiencies were found to be 75% and 85%, respectively.

Biological methods are frequently used for treatment of contaminated air, containing volatile organic compounds and odor compounds in low concentrations and high flow rate of air streams. For more than 20 years. biofilter has been recognized as a cost effective technology for the purification of contaminated air. Most commercial applications before 1990 were for control of odors. In the past decades major progress has been accomplished in the development of vapor phase bioreactor. in particular biotrickling filers. Biotrickling filters are more complex than biofilters. but are usually more effective, especially for the treatment of compounds which are difficult to degrade or compounds that generate acidic by-products. While the level of understanding of biotrickling filtration process for VOCs still remains limited. the evidence success of biotreatment of VOC in air resulted in pursuing active research. This paper presents fundamental and practical aspert of VOCs treatment from air in biotrickling filter. Special emphasis is given to the operating parameters and the factors influencing performance for biotrickling filter.

In this study, the dynamics of living cells (LC) and dead cells (DC) in a laboratory-scale biofilm membrane bioreactor for waste gas treatment was examined. Toluene was used as a model pollutant. The bacterial cells were enumerated as fluoromicroscopic counts during a 140 operating day period using BacLight nucleic acid staining in combination with epifluorescence and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CSLM). Overall, five different phases could be distinguished during the biofilm development: (A) cell attachment, (B) pollutant limitation, (C) biofilm establishment and colonization, (D) colonized biofilm, and (E) biofilm erosion. The bioreactor was operated under different conditions by applying different pollutant concentrations. An optimum toluene removal of 89% was observed at a loading rate of 14.4 kg $m^{-3}d^{-1}$. A direct correlation between the biodegradation rate of the reactor and the dynamics of biofilm development could be demonstrated. This study shows the first description of biofilm development during gaseous toluene degradation in MBR.

$TiO_2$ possesses great photocatalytic properties but absorbs only UV light owing to high band gap energy (Eg = 3.2 eV). By narrowing the band gap through doping a metal ion, the photocatalytic activity can be enhanced in condition of the light of a higher than 365 nm wavelength. Main purpose for this study is to evaluate the activities of metal doped $TiO_2$ for degrading the volatile organic compounds (VOCs); p-xylene is chosen in the VOC removal test. Vanadium is selected in this study because an ionic radius of vanadium is almost the same as titanium ion and vanadium can be easily doped into $TiO_2$. V-doped $TiO_2$ was synthesized by sol-gel methods and compared with pure $TiO_2$. Pure TiO2 powder and V-doped $TiO_2$ powder were coated on glasses by spray coating method. UV-Visible spectrophotometer was used for the measurement of the band gap changes. VOC concentration degradation level was tested with using various UV light sources in an enclosed chamber. Catalytic activities of prepared samples were evaluated based on the experimental results and compared with coated pure $TiO_2$ sample.

Toluene을 유일 탄소원으로 배양한 혼합미생물 군으로부터 순수미생물을 분리배양한 후, 염기서열을 분석하여 Pseudomonas sp. TDB4 균주를 얻었다. 이 균주의 VOC 분해능을 평가하기 위해 toluene, benzene, p-xylene, styrene을 대상기질로 하여 회분식 생분해실험을 진행하였으며, 단일 기질인 경우 toluene, benzene, styrene, p-xylene의 순으로 분해능이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 VOCs 혼합물을 주입하였을 경우에는 모든 조합조건에서 styrene, toluene, benzene, pxylene의 순서로 쉽게 분해하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 VOC가 공존할 경우 toluene과 p-xylene은 다른 VOC의 분해를 촉진시키지만 styrene은 저해물질로 작용함을 알 수 있었다. 한편 연속식 계면활성제 미생물 반응기(Bioactive Foam Reactor, BFR)에 혼합미생물 배양액과 TDB4 배양액을 접종하고 장기 운전하면서 운전특성과 미생물 동적변화를 확인하였다. VOCs 혼합물질 유입농도가 250 ppm 이상에서는 처리효율이 급격히 저하되었는데, FISH 분석 결과에 따르면 동일한 시점에서 TDB4가 차지하는 비율이 전체 미생물의 20% 미만으로 감소하여 BFR의 처리효율과 미생물상은 매우 밀접한 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과 FISH 분석법을 계면활성제 미생물 반응기의 미생물 군집변화 해석에 유용하게 사용할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 미생물 반응조를 장기간 운전할 때에는 안정적인 처리효율을 유지하기 위하여 주기적인 식종을 해주는 것이 적절하다고 판단된다.
