가시광촉매를 이용하여 자동차 내장재에서 발생하는 VOCs의 저감 효과를 알아보았다. 가시광촉매는 sol-gel법으로 제조하였으며 UV-vis peak가 420 nm에서 적색이동 되어 가시광영역에서 감응하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 특성을 갖는 가시광촉매를 자동차 내장재에 코팅처리하고, 자동차 내장재에서 발생하는 VOCs를 측정한 결과 분해 저감율이 우수하게 나타났다.

This study was investigated the estimation of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) emission from a gas station tank. To improve the atmosphere environmental quality near the gas station, the installation of vapor recovery system has been expanded recently. Therefore, it was necessary to calculate VOCs emissions from the gas station tank with vapor recovery systems for evaluation of their performance. The VOCs emissions are difficult to measure directly because of various sources and irregularly emission by pressure rise. In this study, VOCs emissions were estimated by simple calculation based on the equation of state for measured pressure, temperature and volume of a gasoline tank at a gas station. The result confirmed that the present national emission factor did not have significant discrepancy with the calculated value.

Volatile Organic Compounds(VOCs) contribute to the formation of ozone and PAN which are injurious to health through complex photochemical reactions. Growing consumption of fossil fuels results in significant emission of VOCs and other air pollutants into the atmosphere. This study was carried out to evaluate of Volatile Organic Compounds(VOCs) concentrations in Kumi industrial complex. Ambient air sampling was determined at five sites from August to September in 2002. The Volatile Organic Compounds samples were collected using the silicocan canisters, and were determined by GC/MS which connected preconcentrator system. The Kumi industrial complex of VOCs concentrations were generally similar with Yeochun's but some of VOCs concentrations of Kumi were higher than Yeochun industrial complex's. Also the industrial area was higher than downtown and residential district.

실내공기질의 중요성이 날로 부각되고 있다. 특히 휘발성유기화합물(VOCs)에 의한 실내공기의 오염은 매우 심각한 환경문제가 되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 철도차량 객실용 시트커버와 바닥재를 대상으로 청정한 챔버 안에 넣고, 고정 환기 조건에서 VOCs 방출특성을 조사하였다. 챔버는 온도 $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 $50{\pm}5%$를 유지하면서 방출량을 조사하였다. 실험결과 바닥재가 시트커버보다 많이 양의 VOCs를 방출하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 바닥재가 PVC 재질이기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 방출량은 시간에 따라 점차 감소하였다.내장재에서 방출되는 VOCs는 객실 승객의 건강을 위협할 수 있으므로, VOCs를 덜 방출하는 내장재가 사용되어야 한다.

본 연구에서는 고상 미세추출법(HS-SPME)을 적용하여 대기환경시료 중 VOCs 분석을 위한 응용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 광범위한 VOCs 검출을 위한 최적 HS-SPME 분석 조건(CAR/PDMS fiber, 30분 시료노출, 도출된 분석조건)에서 VOCs의 검출 한계 농도는 저분자량 화합물인 경우 1~3 ppbv 내외였고, BTEXs 계열 화합물들의 경우에는 0.0005 ppbv 이하의 매우 낮은 농도까지 검출 가능하였다. 다만 fiber들 간의 흡착효율 재현성 평가결과, 동일 fiber에 대하여 1~9.2% (n = 3), 서로 다른 fiber들에 대하여서는 5.9~13.5% (n = 5)의 오차를 보였다. 도출된 분석조건을 이용하여 매립지 가스 중 BTEX를 포함한 35여종의 VOCs를 성공적으로 정량분석하였다.

다성분계 휘발성 유기화합물(VOCs; Volatile Organic Compounds)의 분리를 위하여 상전이법을 이용하여 방사한 poly (ether imide) (PEI) 중공사 지지체에 poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)를 코팅하여 중공사 복합막을 제조하였다. VOCs 회수용 중공사막으로서 적합성을 알아보기 위해서 중공사막의 모폴로지, 질소 및 산소 기체 투과도를 측정하고, 벤젠, 톨루엔 그리고 자일렌에 대한 내구성을 조사하였다. 다성분계 휘발성 유기화합물의 효과적인 분리성능을 조사하기 위하여 Stage-cut과 feed 농도에 따른 다성분계 VOCs 투과 성능 변화를 관찰하였다. PEI 지지체 중공사막에 PDMS를 코팅시킴에 따라 산소와 질소 투과도는 각각 45,000 GPU와 49,450 GPU에서 63 GPU와 30 GPU로 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. VOCs 투과농도는 Stage-cut이 감소함에 따라 증가하나, 회수율은 감소하였다. 반면에 공급농도 증가에 따라 투과농도는 비례적으로 증가하였지만, 농축비나 회수율은 큰 변화가 없었다.

In recent days, photochemical smog due to the rapid industry development and vehicle increasement has become a critical pollutant in the metropolitan area and the number of ozone alarm signal has increased every year. This research was performed to evaluate VOCs emission source characteristics and concentration of VOCs in Daegu. The site average concentration was observed in the following order: industrial area > commercial area > residential area. Most of the VOCs species except toluene showed variations with higher concentration during nighttime, and lower concentration during the daytime. The major VOCs of stationary emission source were BTEX(benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene. xylene) and methylene chloride, trichloroethene and styrene. Also, those of automobile exhaust were toluene and benzene. Also, the major VOCs concentration emited by the vehicle fuel was observed in the following order: gasoline > light oil > liquefied petroleum gas (L.P.G). Correlation coefficients values were estimated between major VOCs such as toluene, ethylbenzene, m,p-xylene, o-xylene. Results showed that correlation coefficient values were significant magnitude above 0.76. Also, there showed highly significant correlations among ethyl benzene, m,p-xylene, and o-xylene concentration(Pearson correlation coefficients, r=0.868-0.982). Calculated correlation coefficients among commercial area,industrial area and residential area were 0.934-0.981, they showed high correlation. There showed highly correlation between stationary emission source and industrial area, compared with commercial area and residential area. Also, calculated correlation coefficients among commercial area, industrial area, residential area and automobile exhaust were 0.732, 0.725, 0.777, respectively.

Objectives: The indoor air quality of newly-built (NC) and remodeled (RC) school classrooms was assessed. The primary aim was to show correlations between volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde (HCHO) pollutant levels. Methods: This study investigated the indoor air concentrations of VOCs and HCHO at 26 sites of newly built and 68 sites of remodeled classrooms located in South Gyeongsang Province between 2010 and 2012. VOCs in the indoor air were determined by adsorbent tube (Tenax TA) and automatic thermal desorption coupled with GC-MS analysis. Target analytes were five VOCs: benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, and styrene. HCHO was collected with a 2,4-DNPH cartridge and analyzed by HPLC. Conclusions: This study estimated that indoor VOCs and HCHO concentrations in the classrooms were mainly affected by interior building materials and classroom equipment. For proper indoor air quality in schools, classroom air should be improved through reduction of hazardous materials by adequate ventilation, selecting environmental friendly materials, etc.

The removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from water using KOH-activated pine tree needle leaves biochar is considered a cost effective and efficient process. In this study, pine tree needle leaves were mixed with 0, 50, 100 and 200% (KOH weight/feedstock weight) of KOH, respectively. Then, the mixture was pyrolyzed at $500^{\circ}C$ for 6 hrs. The adsorption characteristics of 10 VOCs to the biochar were tested. The results indicated that the removal efficiency of the KOH activated biochar was highest in 100% KOH-biochar. The VOC removal efficiencies of 50% and 200% KOH activated biochar were similar and the 0% KOH activated biochar showed the lowest VOC removal. The FTIR results showed that increasing the amount of KOH seemed to enhance the formation of various functional groups, such as -OH, -C=C, -O. The adsorption strength of 10 VOCs to the KOH activated biochar seemed to be increasing by the increase of the solubility of VOCs. This may suggest that the adsorption is taking place in hydrophilic sites of the biochar surface. The KOH activated pine tree needle leaves biochar can be an effective sorbent for VOCs removal in water and 100% KOH mixing seemed to provide better sorption capacity.

We investigated the concentration degree of VOCs for ambient air in the air environment control area of Kyonggi-do in 2001. The VOCs showing higher concentration were in the ascending order of Toluene > n-Butane > 1-Butene > Benzene > n-Hexane. The concentration distribution ratio mentioned above showed almost same pattern in each city. The relative concentration ratio of Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylenes which are aromatic VOCs were 1 : 6.3 : 0.6 : 1.6. It was similar to the pattern in 1999 but different from the pattern in 2000. In the aspect of seasons, the highest B.T.E.X concentration was indicated in fall and in the aspect of areas, the higher concentration showed in the ascending order of Buchon > Ansan > Kwangmyong > Shihung > Sungnam. The average concentration of target VOCs for ambient air in the air environment control area of Kyonggi-do showed lower concentration than the metropolis of Seoul but higher concentration than Kwang-ju city and Dae-gu city. The amount of total VOCs was increasing, comparing with it last year and the more increasing tendency is anticipated so that it will need to establish the proper regulative criteria.
