Abstract

In this study, titanium dioxide photocatalyst was applied to the ventilation system to reduce particulate matter and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are representative indoor harmful substances. A reaction device capable of installing an ultraviolet lamp was designed and manufactured so that the pollutant decomposition effect of the titanium dioxide photocatalyst identified through previous studies could be applied indoors. The reaction device was used on the indoor ventilation system and applied to the Mock-Up test. As a result of the Mock-up test, the NOx reduction performance according to the change in air volume once per hour and five times per hour was confirmed. As a result, it was confirmed that as the number of ventilation increases, the NOx reduction time decreases proportionally, and the reduction performance increases.

본 연구는 대표적인 미세먼지와 실내유해물질인 질소산화물의 저감을 위해 이산화티탄 광촉매를 환기장치에 적용한 것으로 그 내용은 다음과 같다. 기존 연구는 실내에 자외선 적용의 한계로 인해 주로 건축자재에 광촉매 혼입을 통해 실외 자재를 대상으로 진행되었다. 자외선 실내 적용 한계를 극복하고자 기존 선행연구를 통해 확인된 이산화티탄 광촉매의 오염물질 분해 효과를 실내에 적용이 가능하도록 자외선램프의 설치가 가능한 반응장치를 설계 및 제작하였다. 해당 반응장치를 실내 환기장치에 적용하여 Mock-Up에 적용하였다. Mock-Up 실험은 그 체적을 시간당 1회, 5회 환기하는 풍량을 변화시켜 NOx 저감 성능을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 환기 풍량이 증가함에 따라 NOx 저감시간이 비례하여 감소되어 그 성능이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 해당 연구를 통해 오염물질 저감 효과를 가진 이산화티탄 광촉매의 실내 활용 방안과 그 성능을 확인할 수 있는 기초적인 연구 결과를 도출하였다.
