Solid phase microextraction (SPME) was used for the determination of 6 standard solvents (methanol, isopropanol, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, cyclohexane, toluene) in food packaging materials. SPME method is a solvent-free sample preparation technique in which a fused silica fiber coated with polymeric organic liquid is introduced into the headspace above the sample. SPME method using fiber coated polydimethylisiloxane (PDMS) was compared with static headspace (SHS) method used as a reference. It was found that the optimal adsorption condition using PDMS-SPME method was 2$0^{\circ}C$ for 15 minutes for the standard solvents. Detection limits, linearity, reproducibility and recovery of both SHS and PDMS-SPME methods have been determined using 6 standard solvents. Both methods were characterized by high reproducibility and good linearity. Using SHS methods, the mean recovery of the 6 standard solvents was ranged from 75.5% to 105.8% with a mean relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.3% to 4.8%. With PDMS-SPME method, the mean recovery of the 6 standard solvents was ranged from 86.7% to 108.3% with a mean RSD of 0.4% to 2.5%. The detection limits of both methods were the same for toluene, cyclohexane and methyl ethyl ketone; those of PDMS-SPME method were higher than those of SHS method for methanol, isopropanol and ethyl acetate. PDMS-SPME fiber shoed excellent adsorption for non-polar solvents such as toluene, while it showed relatively low adsorption for polar solvents such as methanol.

In this study, the relationship between the pore size distribution and the adsorption amount of adsorbates is investigated in detail. Adsorption amounts of non-polar adsorbates were greater than those of polar adsorbates because of slight negative charge on surfaces of adsorbents. The adsorption of benzene on the surface of absorbents was largely influenced by the specific pore size of $2{\sim}4$ times of benzene diameter. But in case of toluene, the adsorption of toluene was affected by pore sizes of $2{\sim}4$ times as well as $4{\sim}6$ times of the diameter of toluene. Both acetone and MEK were examined by the same method. The adsorption of acetone was influenced by pore sizes of $2{\sim}4$ times of the diameter of acetone. But acetone does not look to be built up multi-layer on those pore sizes. Since acetone molecule is small and its mobility is so fast, it is assumed that the adsorption and desorption of acetone is simultaneously occurred at the same time even at room temperature. In case of MEK, MEK was effected by pore sizes of $2{\sim}4$ times of the diameter of MEK.

본 연구는 활성탄이 충진된 고정 흡착층에서 흡착특성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 다양한 변수들, 흡착온도, 흐름속도, 흡착질의 종류와 농도, 형상비(L/D)에 따른 영향이 조사되었다. 고정층내의 파과시간은 흡착온도, 흐름속도와 흡착질의 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 또한 고정 흡착층의 파과곡선으로부터 얻어지는 물질전달영역(mass transfer zone)과 미사용길이(length of unused bed)는 흡착가스 유속, 흡착가스의 농도 및 흡착온도에 영향을 많이 받는 반면 고정 흡착층의 형상비에 대한 영향은 상대적으로 작았으며, 이 중에서 흡착가스의 농도에 대한 영향이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 단일성분에 대한 흡착평형실험 데이터를 가장 잘 예측할 수 있는 모델식을 구하기 위해 Langmuir, Freundlich 및 Langmuir-Freundlich 모델식을 적용하여 실험결과와 비교해 보았을 때 세가지 이론식 모두 benzene과 toluene의 흡착평형을 잘 표현하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The principle of vortex tube and cyclone was introduced to enhance the treatment efficiency of waste air streams containing particulate matters, toluene, and others developed by Hangreen Tech, Ltd. and Hoseo Chemical and Industrial Technology R＆D Center. Adsorption, condensation, and/or coagulation could be induced at low temperature zone formed by vortex tube and Joule-Thomson expansion. The pressurized air was introduced at the tangential direction into the cyclone system applied with the coaxial funnel tube. Easily condensible vapors such as toluene. carbon dioxide, and water vapor were adsorbed enforcedly on coagulated or condensed materials which were formed as cores for coagulation or condensation by themselves. These types of coagulation or condensation rates were rapidly promoted as the diameter being growing up. The maximum removal efficiency for carbon dioxide and toluene was achieved to about 87 and 90 percent, respectively. The Joule-Thomson coefficients were increased with the pressure of air injected in the range of the relative humidities between 10% and 30%. An optimum value was observed within the range of the tested temperatures at a fixed pressure. In conclusion. it could be identified that the treatment efficiency would be depended on the pressure of the process air introduced and physical and chemical characteristics of waste air streams containing target materials for a designed system. The final design parameters should be decided depending upon the given system and target materials.

We intended to make the activated carbon fibers which could separate, remove and recover the volatile organic compounds of benzene, toluene, acetone and methanol. Changing activation temperature and time, large specific surface area and narrow pore distribution could be obtained. The activated carbon fibers have large adsorption capacity and selectivility for those organic compounds. We characterized the adsorption capability of the activated carbon fibers for benzene, toluene, acetone and methanol by BET specific surface area and pore size and micropore volume measurements. In the result of activation, the maximum value of BET specific surface area of the fibers was $1100\m^2$/g at $800^{\circ}C$ for 60 minutes and $K_2$O was reduced actively in this condition. Their average pore size was 5.8~5.9$\AA$. The activated carbon fibers prepared in this work had high adsorption rate to saturation and the selectibility for the above organic compounds. The adsorbed amount of acetone and methanol(diameter of$ 4.3\AA$ and $4.4\AA$ respectively) which are smaller than micropore diameter in size was 43~49%, which was larger value than benzene and toluene(in the same diameter as $5.9\AA$).

본 연구에서는 대표적 휘발성유기화합물(volatile organic compounds, VOCs)인 톨루엔(toluene)을 제거하고자 활성탄소와 폴리비닐알코올(polyvinyl alcohol, PVA)을 바인더로 이용하여 여러 가지 열분해 온도에 따른 펠렛형 다공성 탄소 흡착재를 제조하였다. 제조된 펠렛형 다공성 탄소 흡착재의 물리적 특성은 주사전자현미경(FE-SEM), 비표면적측정장치(BET), 열중량분석기(TGA)를 통하여 분석하였으며, 톨루엔 가스 흡착능은 가스크로마토그래피(GC)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 활성탄소, PVA 및 용매가 각각 1 : 0.1 : 0.8의 질량 비율로 배합될 경우 펠렛의 성형성이 가장 뛰어났다. 톨루엔 흡착 성능은 펠렛에 99% 이상의 톨루엔이 흡착되는 최대 시간을 측정하여 평가하였다. $300^{\circ}C$에서 열처리된 흡착재 비표면적은 열처리 전에 비하여 약 4.7배 증가된 약 $941.9m^2/g$로 측정되었다. 펠렛형 다공성 탄소 흡착재의 미세 기공의 부피는 0.30 cc/g으로 약 5배, 톨루엔 흡착 능력은 26 h으로 약 13배로 각각 증가하였다. 이는 바인더의 함량 및 열분해 온도 변화에 따른 활성탄소의 기공 크기 및 비표면적 변화에 의한 것으로 판단된다.

The main objective of this study is to understand the regeneration step of the PTSA(Pressure and thermal swing adsorption) process below the atmospheric pressure by rigorous dynamic simulation. This target process is to recover toluene using activated carbon as an adsorbent. To do this, the dynamic simulations for the regeneration step are performed at 360, 490, 590mmHg and at high temperature after the simulation of the adsorption step at latm and 298K. A mathematical model was developed to simulate the column dynamics of the adsorption systems. This model is based on non-equilibrium, non-isothermal and non-adiabatic conditions, and axial dispersion and heat conduction are also considered. Heat transfer resistances are considered in gas-solid, gas-column wall and column wall-outside air. The LDF(Linear Driving Force) approximation model describes the mass transfer rate between the gas and solid phase. This study shows that the recovery of toluene by PTSA is more preferable than that by general TSA.

본 연구에서는 휘발성 유기화합물 중 산업공정에서 사용빈도가 가장 높은 방향족류의 toluene, 케톤류의 MEK, 알코올류의 IPA에 의한 삼성분계 휘발성 유기화합물의 탄소계 흡착제에 대한 흡착특성 실험을 수행하였다. 입상 활성탄, 활성탄소섬유를 이용한 단일흡착제와 입상 활성탄과 활성탄소섬유를 동시에 적용한 조합흡착제를 사용하여 흡착성능과 흡착량을 비교 분석하였다. 실험용 흡착장치를 사용하여 단일성분 및 삼성분계 휘발성 유기화합물에 대한 흡착파과 실험을 수행하였으며, 각 경우에 대해 흡착량과 흡착성능을 비교하였다. 입상 활성탄은 toluene의 단일흡착 시 높은 흡착성능을 보였으나, IPA, MEK의 단일성분과 삼성분계 흡착실험에서는 상대적으로 낮은 성능을 보였다. 활성탄소섬유와 조합흡착제는 단일성분 흡착결과에서 모두 우수한 흡착성능을 보였으나, 삼성분계 흡착의 경우에는 흡착제의 경제성과 흡착효율을 고려하였을 때 입상 활성탄과 활성탄소섬유를 동시에 적용한 조합흡착제가 흡착제로서 가장 적합함을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study was investigated the application of biofiltration using cometabolic process to remediate gaseous toluene that are highly recalcitrant to adsorption, absorption and biodegradation. The investigation was conducted using specially built steel columns packed with granular activated carbon for removal of toluene and G.A.C was also coated with Pseudomonas putida microorganisms by addition of KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$. The biofilter unit was operated in the condition of dry and 27.5% moisture content at gas loading rate of 12.5 l/min. Gaseous toluene taken from tedlar bag was analyzed by the use of G.C. equipped with F.I.D. detector. The removal efficiency of gaseous toluene was 85% at average inlet concentration of 970 ppm during dry operating condition. For gaseous toluene, 91% removal efficient was obtained at the filter material with moisture content and 97% removal efficiency was obtained with Pseudomonas putida microorganisms at gas loading rate of 12.5 l/min.
