The objective of this study is to develop a method for monitoring continuously the combustion propagation behavior of commercial thermite reaction mixtures using conventional continuous VOD (velocity of detonation) system. In order to monitor the combustion front propagation with elapsed time during thermite reaction, the VOD system employs two types of commercial VOD probes and one self-made probe: VOD PROBEROD-OS, VOD PROBEROD-HS and VOD PROBEROD-ES, respectively. Among the probes, the only self made VOD PROBEROD-ES successfully demonstrates the velocity of combustion propagation (VOC) with elapsed time. It was found that VOC of the thermite reaction mixture inside a steel tube has been reached around 200m/s within 100mm distance from the ignition and dramatically increased up to about twice the speed of sound in the range between 100mm and 300mm distance. Finally the VOC reached up to around 800m/s. This results imply that it is necessary to use over 300mm long cartridge of thermite reaction mixture in order to achieve normal VOC of the mixture.

A two-stage bioreactor, which consists of a biotrickling filter module and a biofilter module in series, was investigated for the enhanced treatment of a VOC mixture, toluene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Throughout the experiments, the overall inlet loading rate was maintained at approximately $43g/m^3/hr$, but the inlet ratios of the VOCs were modified. The experimental results showed that the different ratios of the VOC mixture resulted in changes of overall removal efficiencies, elimination capacities (ECs) and microbial accumulation on the surface of each packing material. The ratio of inlet toluene to MEK at 50 : 150 was found to be most effective in terms of the overall removal efficiency, because, at this condition, MEK (i.e., the hydrophilic compound) was mostly removed in the biotrickling filter module and the following biofilter module was used to remove toluene. It was also found that when the inlet loading rate of the VOC mixture was serially increased stepwise within short-term periods, the ECs for toluene dropped significantly but the ECs for MEK increased at the ratio of the VOC mixture. These results implied that substrate interaction and/or substrate preferable utilization might have an effect on the biological removal of each compound in the two-stage bioreactor; therefore, the bioreactor should be operated in the condition where the substrate interaction could be minimized in order to maximize overall performance of the two-stage bioreactor.

건축자재의 제작 및 도장공정, 합성수지 제조공정 등에서 많이 배출되는 휘발성 유기화합물(Volitile Organic Compounds, 이하 VOCs)은 이동성이 강하고 악취를 유발할 뿐만 아니라 마취성이 강하여 잠재적인 독성 및 발암성을 가진다. 이러한 VOCs의 제거방법 중 광촉매 제거법은 380 nm 이하의 자외선을 흡수하여 표면에서 생긴 전자와 정공으로 대부분의 유해물질을 제거하는 비교적 최근에 개발된 방법이다. 광촉매는 한번의 설치로 반영구적으로 사용할 수 있고 인체에 무해하며 유지비용이 적게 든다는 장점으로 인해 크게 부각되고 있다.

대기중에 존재하는 미량의 극성 유기화합물들은 비극성 유기화합물 보다는 반응성이 크고 불안정하므로 이를 채취하여 분석하는 과정이 매우 어려운 실정이다. 일반적으로 sampling에 자주 사용되는 stainless steel로 특수 내면처리 시킨 canister를 이용하였으나 이 방법에 의한 시료 채취방법은 고가의 비용이 소요되며, 반응성이 큰 VOC의 경우에는 성분에 따라 안정도가 낮은 경우도 많다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 대기 시료를 bag 이나 캐니스터와 같은 용기로서 채취하여 측정할 경우 극성 VOC 성분이 얼마나 안정하게 유지될수 있는지를 조사하고저 하였다.

Influence of concentration polarization has been investigated on the vapor permeation of VOCs/$N_2$ mixture. Po]y(dimethylsiloxane)(PD,vIS) membrane which had a good affinit~, toward VOCs was emploj,'c'Cl in this study. The chlorinated hydmcarbons which were part of homologous series of chrolomelhane and chrolocthane were used as organic vapor. The vapor permeation experiments were calTied out at various VOCs feed concentrations. operating temperatures and feed flow rates. With decreasing feed flow rate. the membrane perfonnance, that is. penneation rate and selectivity were reduced in the permeation of VOCs/$N_2$ mixture. Especially the reducing of the membrane performance was founel to be more significant when the condensibility of voe was greater. voe content in the feed mixture was higher or operating temperature was lower. These observations were discussed in terms of the influence of con-centration polarizalion on the permeation of VOCSINl mixture through the PDMS membrane.

가시광에서 활성을 보이는 $TiO_2$광촉매를 이용하여 대표적인 방향족 VOCs인 BTEX의 분해효과에 대한 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 Xylene은 높은 전환율을 나타낸 반면, Benzene은 가장 낮은 전환율을 나타냈다. 이는 Benzene이 다른 물질에 비해 상대적으로 안정적인 분자 구조에 의해서 반응성이 매우 약하기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 본 실험은 여러 가지 조건들 중에 농도와 유량만 변화 시킨 가운데 얻어진 결과이기 때문에 향후 연구에서 습도, 농도, 유량 및 빛의 강도 등 다양한 조건의 변화에 따라 최적의 조건을 찾아낼 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. S 가 도핑된 $TiO_2$ 광촉매는 가시광 하에서 방향족 VOCs를 제어하는 광촉매 기술 중에 비교적 최신의 기술이며, 향후의 연구 개발이 더욱 필요하다.

In this research, a few paints in the shipyard were selected and analyzed for the component and ozone production in marine paint using TVOC and GC/FID, ozone generation index (MIR, POCP) to establish measures of $VOC_s$ effectively. The concentrations of TVOC ranged between approximately 300~400 g/L and 400~500 g/L, respectively and these showed 37% of whole. Our results indicated that the main constituents of marine paints were m,p,oxylene (49%), ethyl benzene (10%), toluene (8%) and 2-propanol (5%). It was also found that xylene concentration have relatively higher impact on ozone generation. The types of paints were also investigated for their potentials. The biggest contributor was the 1 Pack Finish paint. The rest is, in their contributing order, 1 Pack Finish paint, 2 pack Finish paint, Anti-fouling paint, 2 Pack A/C paint, Ballast paint and 1 Pack A/C paint.

A range of techniques have been being developed to remove the volatile organic compounds from paining processes. High temperature decomposition of harmful VOCs using arc plasma has recently been proposed, and this work analyzed the extreme hot process by computer-aided fluid dynamics prior to the reactor design. Numerical simulations utilized the conservation equations of mass and momentum. The simulation showed that the fluid flowed down along the inner surface of the centrifugal reactor by forming intensive spiral trajectories. Although the high temperature gas generated by plasma influences the bottom of the reactor, no heat transfer in radial direction appeared. The decomposition efficiency of a typical VOCs, toluene, was found to be a maximum of 67% across the reactor, which was similar to the value (approximately 70%) for the lab-scale test.

In this study, the concentrations of major odorous compounds including reduced sulfur compounds (DMS, $CS_2$, and DMDS) and aromatic VOC (benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.) were measured continuously using an on-line GC analytical system. Our measurements were made from a residential area of Ansan city during about two weeks period of October, 2004. The highest mean concentrations of reduced S and VOC were recorded as 56.9 ppt of DMS and 21.7 ppb of toluene, respectively. The results of this study generally show that the pollution levels for both types of chemicals are significant relative to previous measurement results reported from comparable sites, if the results are compared simply in terms of the magnitude of the measured concentration data. Moreover, when the relative importance of different compounds is compared in terms of the odor strength, it indicates that the contribution of reduced S compounds may be much more important than that of VOC in the study area.

Lab-scale experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of surface tension reduction on the extension of the influence zone and the VOC removal efficiency of ground water sparging. A glass column packed with coarse sand was used for VOC removal test at two different surface tensions. A glass column without porous media was also used fer control purpose prior to sand-packed column test. A quasi-two-dimensional glass box model, packed with a sand, was used fer sparging zone tests at different water surface tensions. Surface tension of the aquoues solution used in this study was controlled using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). For the glass, sand column experiments, total amount of air filled in the media increased as surface tension decreased. Toluene (used as VOC in this study) removal rate increased slightly with decreased surface tension f3r both free water column and sand-packed column. Air sparging zone extended up to 500% as the surface tension decreased. Combining the results from two different experiments, VOC removal efficiency is expected to increase significantly with surface tension reduction.
