Abstract

다환방향족탄화수소류 화합물의 증기상-입자상간의 분배평형의 설명을 위해 흔히 입자상의 흡착지점이 균질하고 총흡착면적은 TSP에 비례한다는 가정을 사용하는데 본 연구의 목적은 이러한 가정의 타당성을 평가하는 것이다. 본 연구를 위해 도심에서 6단의 다단계 대기중입자채집기를 사용하여 대기 중의 입자를 포집하였으며 이들 입자에 흡착된 phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene을 분석하여 입경별 분포를 측정하였다. 특히 연구기간 중에 황사현상이 일어나 입경분포나 입자의 기원이 매우 다른 경우에 대한 연구가 가능하였다. 주요연구결과로서 우선 야마사키가 제안한 분배평형의 온도 의존식은 제한된 범위에서 사용되어야 한다는 것이 관측되었다. 즉, 황사현상이 일어나는 경우와 같이 입자의 흡착특성과 입경분포가 보통때와 다른 경우에는 log Kp와 l/T의 관계에서 선형성이 상당히 저하되었다. 또한 특히 낮은 온도에서는 입자의 입경분포가 달라지면 전체적인 분배평형이 달라지게 되는 것으로 평가되었으며 입자의 흡착특성도 분배평형의 온도의존성에 결정적인 영향을 줄 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 입자의 기원이 다양하거나 입경분포가 달라지면 흡착평형이 바뀌기 때문에 흡착특성의 균질성과 단순한 TSP를 전제로 하는 분배평형의 평가나 예측은 실제 대기조건에서는 정확하지 않을 수가 있으며 제한적인 조건에서 사용되어야 할 것이다.
