Using a novel deposition technique, which can be described as pulsed chemical vapor deposition (CVD), $TiO_2$ thin films were synthesized on carbon fibers. We show that these films exhibit extraordinary high absorption capacities of toluene vapor. Such an absorption phenomenon of toluene at room temperature was not found for other $TiO_2$ samples. We expect that $TiO_2$ thin films prepared here can be used for removing volatile organic compounds from indoor atmosphere. Structures of there $TiO_2$ films were studied by SEM and XPS, and the results are discussed.

실내식물 9종의 근권부 하이드볼 배지에서 배양된 세균집단이 공기중 벤젠과 같은 휘발성 유기화합물의 제거효과에 미치는 영향이 조사되었다. 여러 식물 근권부의 배양토에서 배양된 세균 집단은 벤젠을 제거할 수 있었는데, $Spathiphyllum$ $wallisii$ Regel, $Pachira$ $aquatica$, $Ficus$ $elastica$, $Dieffenbachia$ sp. 'Marrianne' Hort., $Chamaedorea$ $elegans$ 식물들은 벤젠의 초기농도를 1.000으로 기준하였을 때, 세균 집단이 전혀 없는 배지의 대조구 초기 농도 대비 잔류율이 0.596이었으나 상기 언급한 식물들은 0.741-1.000으로서 벤젠의 농도를 현저히 감소시켰다(LSD, $P$=0.05). 이와 같은 경향은 식물의 종류에 따라 차이는 있었지만 톨루엔의 경우에도 비슷하게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 $P.$ $aquatic$ 근권부의 배양토로부터 배양된 세균 집단을 $P.$ $aquatica$, $F.$ $elastica$, $S.$ $podophyllum$에 접종하였을 때 접종하지 않은 식물들에 비하여 벤젠과 톨루엔을 현저히 제거하는 효과가 나타나, 근권부의 미생물 집단을 이용하여 공기 중 휘발성 유기화합물(VOC)을 제거할 수 있음을 보여 주었다.

The catalytic oxidation of benzene, toluene and xylene over a spent industrial catalyst (Pd-based) was investigated in a fixed bed flow reactor system. According to the priming condition, the properties of a spent Pd-based catalyst were characterized by XRD(X-ray diffraction). BET(Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) and ICP(Inductively coupled plasma). When air was used as a primer, optimum priming temperature was found to be 200$^{\circ}C$, and the catalytic activity decreased as the priming temperature increased. When a spent Pd-based catalyst primed with air at 200$^{\circ}C$ was re-treated with hydrogen at 200$^{\circ}C$, 300$^{\circ}C$ or 400$^{\circ}C$, respectively, the catalytic activity increased and thermal effect were negligible. $HNO_3$ aqueous solution priming resulted in slight decrease of the catalytic activity, with little effects on $HNO_3$ concentrations. The activity of a spent Pd-based catalyst with respect to VOC molecule was observed to follow sequence: xylene> toluene> benzene. Benzene. toluene and xylene could be removed to almost 100% by a spent Pd-based catalyst primed with hydrogen.

This study introduces a method to eliminate formaldehyde and benzene, toluene from indoor air by means of a photocatalytic oxidation reaction. In the method introduced, for the good performance of the reaction, the effect and interactions of the $TiO_2$ catalyst and ultraviolet in photocatalytic degradation on the reaction area, dosages of catalysts, humidity and light should be precisely examined and controled. Experiments has been carried out under various intensities of UV light and initial concentrations of formaldehyde, benzene and toluene to investigate the removal efficiency of the pollutants. Reactors in the experiments consist of an annular type Pyrex glass flow reactor and an 11W germicidal lamp. Results of the experiments showed reduction of formaldehyde, benzene and toluene in ultraviolet $/TiO_2/$ activated carbon processes (photooxidation-photocatalytic oxidation-adsorption processes), from 98% to 90%, from 98% to 93% and from 99% to 97% respectively. Form the results we can get a conclusion that a ultraviolet/Tio2/activated carbon system used in the method introduced is a powerful one for th treatment of formaldehyde, benzene and toluene of indoor spaces.

This study was performed to obtain high conversion efficiency of $C_7H_8$ using non-thermal plasma and metal-supported catalyst. Adsorption-desorption characteristics of toluene was performed using 4A type (Zeolite) filled in a concentration reactor. Through this test, it was found that the concentration reactor has 0.020 g/g of adsorption capacity (at ambient temperature and pressure) and 3,600 ppm of desorption property at $150^{\circ}C$ (with in 20 min). In case of developed catalyst, toluene decomposition rate of Pd-AO (Pd coated catalyst) was better than Pd/Cu-AO and Pd/Ag-AO (Pd/Ag composite metal catalyst). Developed non-thermal plasma system was obtained flame amplification effect using injection process of desorbed tolune, and 98% of removal efficiency.

This research is about wastewater containing non-biodegradable TDI(Toluene Diisocyanate) that is treated by the activated carbon adsorption method. In the case of the Fenton oxidation process being applied to the existing process, optimal pH, reaction time, chemical dosing amount, removal rate, and cost were investigated. A pilot plant test was applied after finding optimal conditions with lab experiments. The optimal conditions were pH 3~5(COD removal rate 84~88%) and reaction time 30min~1hr. In higher $H_2O_2$ dosing amount, COD removal rate was a little higher. But there was little difference in the removal rate according to $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ dosing amount. Treatment cost was economical in the case of the Fenton oxidation process being operated earlier than activated carbon adsorption system. But chemical dosing point, chemical mixing effect, chemical dosing amount, removal rate, and the cost of facility and others must be considered in practical process.

Treatment conditions of DAF(Dissolved Air Flotation) and removal rates of VOCs(Volatile Organic Compounds) in mixed water of H raw water and VOCs were investigated. The used VOCs were benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene in aromatic compounds and iso propyl mereaptan, n-butyl mereaptan, dimethyl disulfide, and iso butyl mercaptan in odors. The related parameters include water type, treatment method, clay concentration, pH condition, flocculation time, flotation time, per-cent recycle, water temperature, pressure. The removal rates of VOCs were different on treatment process and water condition. Treatment time was longer, removal rates of VOCs was higher. Water temperature was more important than pressure in DAF parameters. Molecular weight was related with removal rate in several kinds of VOCs were decraesed by competition of each component in II raw water. When algac blooming D water was treated by DAF, TCOD(Total chemical Oxygen Demand) and chorophyll a was removed over 96%.

본 연구는 바이오필터의 기질분해특성을 파악하기 위하여 휘발성유기화합물을 대상으로 임계부하량과 기질특성의 상관관계를 분석하였고, 탄소물질수지를 이용한 생물반응의 양론적 해석을 수행하였다. 반응기에 공급된 기질은 단일물질이며, toluene, styrene, MEK, MIBK를 선정하였다. 바이오필터의 기질임계부하량은 toluene은 $46.9\;g/m^3{\cdot}hr$, styrene은 $25.8\;g/m^3{\cdot}hr$, MEK는 $96.3\;g/m^3{\cdot}hr$, MIBK는 $66.5\;g/m^3{\cdot}hr$이었으며, 임계부하량은 옥탄올-물 분배계수(KOW)와 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 또한 기질부하량이 증가할수록 물질수지 중 $CO_2$에 의한 탄소회수율은 낮아졌고, 바이오매스에 의한 탄소회수율은 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 생물양론적 해석을 통하여 추정된 biomass yield (g biomass/g substrate)는 기질부하량이 증가할수록 커졌으며, toluene은 0.31~0.57, styrene은 0.29~0.57, MEK는 0.08~0.56, MIBK는 0.14~0.53의 변화폭을 보였다.

고분자전해질 연료전지에 유입되는 공기가 톨루엔에 오염되었을 때 전지 성능에 미치는 영향을 여러 톨루엔 농도와 운전 조건에서 연구하였다. 그리고 청정한 공기에 의한 전지 성능 회복과 활성탄 흡착에 의한 공기 중 톨루엔의 제거에 대해서도 연구하였다. 본 연구에서 실험한 톨루엔의 농도 범위는 0.1~5.0 ppm이었고 전지 성능감소와 회복은 일정전류에서 전압변화 측정법과 전기화학적 임피던스 측정법(EIS)에 의해 측정하였다. KOH 첨착활성탄의 톨루엔 흡착용량은 등온흡착곡선으로 구했다. 톨루엔 농도가 증가할수록, 전류밀도가 증가할수록, 공기유량이 증가할수록 톨루엔 오염에 의한 성능감소가 심했다. 그러나 상대습도가 증가할수록 톨루엔 오염에 의한 성능감소는 작았다. 가습된 청정 공기 중의 산소와 수분에 의한 톨루엔의 산화에 의해 전지의 성능이 회복되었다. 톨루엔의 백금 표면 흡착에 의한 전하 전달 저항 증가가 전지 성능을 주로 감소시킴을 EIS가 보였다. 첨착활성탄의 톨루엔 흡착 용량은 KOH 첨착량이 증가할수록 감소하였다.
