초록

본 연구에서는 광촉매를 혼입한 모르타르의 방오성능을 평가하기 위해 메틸렌 블루를 이용한 실험 연구를 수행하였다. 실험 시편은 시멘트 중량대비 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5% 및 10.0%의 광촉매를 혼입하여 모르타르 시편을 제작하였고, 시편 표면에 스크래치 형태로 조도를 설정하였다. 표면 조도는 3가지로 조도가 없는 경우, 조도가 작은 경우(중간 조도), 조도가 큰 경우(거친 조도)로 설정하였다. 모르타르 시편 제작 후 24시간 동안 자외선램프 조사와 12시간 동안 메틸렌 블루 컨디셔닝 용액에 침지 하는 전처리 과정을 진행하였다. 실험챔버에 전처리가 완료된 모르타르 시편을 배치 후 48시간 동안 자외선램프를 조사하였고 시간에 따라 메틸렌 블루 수용액의 색 변화를 분광측색계를 이용하여 측정하였다. 광촉매의 혼입량이 증가할수록 메틸렌 블루 색 변화는 증가하는 경향을 나타내며 이는 방오성능이 증가하는 것을 의미한다. 반면에 표면조도가 증가할수록 메틸렌 블루 용액의 색 변화는 뚜렷한 경향은 나타내지 않으며 표면의 광촉매 분포가 일정하지 않기 때문이다.

An experimental study to investigate the effect of self-cleaning of mortar mixed with photocatalyst was performed out in this study. Test parameters included the photocatalyst content and surface roughness of the specimens. The experimental mortar specimens were manufactured by mixing a photocatalyst by cement weight of 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5% and 10.0%. In addition, the surface roughness was categorized into three cases. They included flat surface condition, little surface roughness(medium roughness), and high surface roughness. After mortar specimens were cured for 28 days, they were illuminated by an ultraviolet lamp for 24 hours and immersed in a methylene blue conditioning solution for 12 hours. Thereafter, an ultraviolet(UV) lamp was illuminated on the specimens for 48 hours in an experimental chamber and then the color change of methylene blue solution was measured by using a spectrophotometer over illuminating time of UV lamp. The color change of methylene blue tended to increase as photocatalyst contents increased. Test results meant that photocatalyst was effective for self-cleaning in mortar. However, the color change of the methylene blue solution did not show a noticeable tendency at different surface roughness conditions. It might be due to the uneven photocatalyst distribution on the surface of mortar specimens.
