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.

This study was performed to evaluate the application of $TiO_2$ on the photocatalytic treatment of swine wastewater. $TiO_2$ sol was prepared by hydrothermal method with the agent ratio($(C_2H_5)_2NH_2\;mol/Ti(OC_3H_7)_4\;mol)=1$ and R ratio ($H_2O\;mol/Ti(OC_3H_7)_4\;mol)=42$. The effect of parameter on the removal efficiency of swine wastewater in a batch type immobilized photocatalyst system such as initial pH, intensity of UV, dosage of $TiO_2$, air flow rate, and concentration of $H_2O_2$ was examined. Wastewater was effectively eliminated in the presence of both UV light illumination and $TiO_2$. Photocatalytic activity was higher in acidic condition compared to neutral and alkaline conditions. In addition, photocatalytic activity increased with increasing UV light intensity, dosage of $TiO_2$, the flow rate of air and the amount of $H_2O_2$ added as an oxidant, but the excess amount of $H_2O_2$ dosage decreased the removal efficiency.

광촉매(photocatalyst)는 빛에 의하여 작용하는 촉매 물질로서 항균, 방취, 유기물 분해, 수질 및 대기개선 등의 환경분야와 물 분해에 의한 청정 에너지생성 등의 다양한 분야에서 많은 주목을 받고 있으며, 이미 기본적인 특성에 대한 많은 연구가 수행되었다［l-3］. 광촉매와 섬유의 연계연구는 기존의 연구를 통해 밝혀낸 광촉매의 많은 유용한 특성들을 섬유에 도입하거나, 기존의 연구의 한계점을 섬유의 고유의 특성을 이용하여 극복하여 광촉매 고유의 특성을 극대화하는 방향으로 연구가 수행되고 있다. 본고에서는 가장 널리 이용되고 있는 이산화티탄(titanium dioxide, TiO$_2$) 광촉매의 기본특성을 이해하고, 광촉매의 특성을 접목한 광촉매ㆍ섬유제품의 현재까지의 연구동향을 알아봄으로써, 섬유분야의 많은 지식을 가지고 있는 독자들에게 새로운 섬유제품 개발의 아이디어의 기회를 제시하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to search for an appropriate method of coating $TiO_2$ on orthodontic appliances. $TiO_2$ thin films were deposited on orthodontic wires and brackets using sol-gel, CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) and PE-CVD (Plasma Enhanced-CVD) methods. The roughness of $TiO_2$-coated surfaces was investigated via scanning electron microscope (SEM) and adhesive strength of $TiO_2$ thin films was measured by adhesive tape pull test. Methylene blue degradation test was carried out to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ and the corrosion resistance of $TiO_2$ thin films against fluoride solution was also analyzed by observing the surfaces of $TiO_2$-coated wires and brackets via SEM after immersion in sodium fluoride solution. Through the comparison of properties and photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ thin films according to the coating methods, the following results were obtained. Smoother surfaces of $TiO_2$ thin films were generated by CVD or PE-CVD methods than through the sol-gel method or the control. Adhesive strength of the $TiO_2$ thin films was highest in PE-CVD and gradually became lower in the order of CVD, then the sol-gel method. Photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ thin films on methylene blue was the highest in PE-CVD and gradually became lower in the order of CVD, then the sol-gel method. Corrosion resistance of $TiO_2$ thin films against fluoride solution was stronger in CVD and PE-CVD methods than in the sol-gel method. The results of this study suggest that the CVD or PE-CVD methods is more appropriate than the sol-gel method for $TiO_2$ coating on orthodontic wires and brackets.

The purpose of this study is to enhance the photocatalytic properties of a mixture of low-cost titanium dioxide and calcium carbonate through a simple mixing process. To increase the photocatalytic activity, the weight ratio of titanium dioxide to calcium carbonate was selected as a variable. Photocatalytic activity was evaluated by measuring the degradation of methylene blue and NOx under ultraviolet light. The results showed that a mixture containing 60% titanium dioxide and 40% calcium carbonate exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity.

Recently, the level of fine dust and ultrafine dust has reached its highest level, threatening the public's health. If the air purifier was not operated indoors, natural ventilation would not be possible. In this study, photocatalyst is applied to building materials to purify air in a passive manner. In order to use photocatalyst for LEFC(Light Emotion Friendly Concrete), it is necessary to secure self-consolidating capability. Therefore, self-consolidating performance was evaluated by slump test, J-ring test and L-box test with UHPC materials applied. Based on these results, the mixture proportion was determined, and the mechanical performance was evaluated by compressive and flexural tests. Concrete blocks were constructed with a fabrication method that improved the existing process of making LEFC. Also, the concrete block was emptied as a way to reduce the use of expensive photocatalyst. Finally, in order to identify the distribution of TiO₂, an EDS analysis was performed.

This paper aims at estimating self-cleaning performance of mortar coated with photocatalytic suspension under various conditions. Experimental variables included the concentration (1.5 % and 3.0 %) of photocatalytic suspension for coating mortar specimen, the presence of hydrophilic agent in photocatalytic suspension, and applying the primer on the surface of mortar. The color change of methylene blue solution increased and accordingly self-cleaning performance increased as photocatalytic concentration increased. The presence of hydrophilic agent in photocatalytic suspension slightly decreased the self-cleaning performance compared to the conventional photocatalytic suspension. Test results also showed that mortar specimen including primer and specimen not including primer did not show significantly different self-cleaning performance. In addition, cracks on the surface of mortar specimens decreased as the photocatalytic concentration increased. Therefore, increase in cracks on the surface of mortar at different photocatalytic concentration might adversely affect the self-cleaning performance of mortar specimens.

Ti-salt agglomerated titanium dioxide photocatalyst from sludge, which has various and excellent functions such as nitrogen oxide removal performance, antifouling performance, and bacteria removal performance, is intended to be applied to UHPC.

Titanium dioxide is fixed to the UHPC surface by sieving through a test sieve and compaction and painting using a vibration compactor, and this is tested according to ISO 22197-1. The NO removal amount is evaluated by classification the result range.
