산업구조가 고도화함에 따라 대기오염물질의 배출원이 다양해지고 배출물질의 종류 또한 예전과 비교 할 수 없을 정도로 증가하였다. 휘발성유기화합물질(Volatile Organic Compounds : 이하 VOCs라 한다)은 질소산화물과 공존시 태양광선의 영향으로 광화학스모그를 유발시키는 주요원인이며, 자동차와 석유화학제품 관련시설의 급격한 증가로 배출량도 증가추세에 있다. (중략)

휘발성유기화합물질 (Volatile Organic Compounds, VOCs)은 오존층을 파괴시키는 염소화합물과 광화학 스모그를 형성하는 촉매로 작용하는 주요 대기오염 물질일 뿐만 아니라 VOCs 자체로도 인류의 건강을 위협하는 물질이다. 특히 휘발성유기화합물은 물질의 종류가 수십 종에 이르며 석유화학산업, 도료산업 등의 고농도 발생사업장과 상대적으로 낮은 농토수준이기는 하지만 일상생활에서 절하게 되는 자동차, 주유소, 세탁소 등의 시설을 통해 지속적으로 환경계에 배출되는 등 발생원이 다양하며 측정분석방법에 내재된 어려움으로 인하여 다른 일반적인 대기오염물질에 비하여 여러 가지 측면에서 적절한 관리가 힘든 것으로 알려져 있다.

자동차 운행의 급증과 유류 및 유기 용제의 사용 확대로 인해 휘발성유기화합물질(Volatile Organic Compounds : VOC)의 배출은 증가추세에 있다. VOC는 오존 등 광화학스모그 원인 물질일 뿐만 아니라 발암성 등의 유해 물질, 지구온난화와 성층권 오존층 파괴의 원인물질, 대기 중 악취물질로서 환경 및 건강에 영향을 초래하여 VOC 대한 규제관리 및 감축에 대한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 상용화된 VOC 저감기술로는 고온산화, 촉매산화, 흡착 등의 방법이 있으며 이 기술들은 농도, 에너지 requirement, 비용 및 부산물 처리 등의 문제가 있다.

The purpose of this study is to predict VOCs emission rates from multi-layers materials, which are composed of single-layer materials having various VOCs emission rates, by using effective diffusion coefficients of the single-layer materials. The study was consisted of two parts; the one is the prediction of VOCs emission rates from multi-layer materials through numerical methods. The other is the measurement of VOCs emissions rates of wall composite and floor composite in Mock-up rooms for comparing the prediction and the experiments' values. The results of the study show that the short-term VOCs emission rates of multi-layers materials can be predicted from the effective diffusion coefficients of single materials in odor accuracy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impacts of finishing materials' VVOCs and VOCs emission rates on indoor air quality of Apartment. VOCs emission rate of multi-layer finishing is predicted using the effective diffusion coefficient of each materials, and then the prediction is compared with Mock-up test and sample apartment house. From the results, the prediction of multi-layer finishing using the effective diffusion coefficient show good relation with the measured values.

Abstract This paper presents new emission mechanism and emission estimation model in volatile organic compounds(VOCs) emission sources. Also classifies applicable emission reduction techniques and presents new economical evaluation method for each techniques. We ultimately developed VEER(VOCs Emission Estimation and Reduction) software, which is backed by above mentioned model, emission source DB, Chemical properties DB, meteorological DB, and emission factor DB. With VEER, users in enterprise, central government and local self-governing body can get reliable emission results easily, and choose suitable emission reduction techniques.

An experimental study on the removal of VOCs gas using a biomembrane reactor were carried out at various inlet gas concentration, specific loading rate, retention time and gas flow rate of volume. The variations of efficiency and various parameters, which are relevant to gas removal, with mixing of soluble gas and without have been discussed. More than 95% of the toluene and methanol present in the feed was successfully removed in each study. The elimination of methanol with mixture of soluble compound of about 300 mg/h corresponds to a portion of 21% if there is a feed stream of 1400 mg/h. On the contrary the maximum efficiency of about 72% of toluene was reached. This is to be rated as a treatment of sorption that the limiting factor of the dismantling speed could be represented by this difficult degradable component. Nevertheless the elimination capacities for this reactor for toluene were on a very high level. For substances which show a very high solubility in silicon rubber an advantage of a bio membrane is clearly shown. Therefore a similarly good result is expected for n-hexane, because of its relatively good permeability which was distinguished during permeation experiments.

This study is to develop of an adsorbent for the removing of human body harmful benzene, toluene, and p-xylene as VOCs. Thus, this study researched the adsorption efficiency of the commercial ACF and the reactivated ACF by KOH/ACF to molar 1: 1. As the results, the effects have shown to enlarge with the increasing of VOCs concentration for adsorptive breakthrough time and breakthrough percentage on each substance. Also, the study have investigated as a similar tendency in case of desorption efficiency for toluene and p-xylene at constant concentration as 125PPM and 0.5$\ell$/min volume flow rate. But in case of benzene, it has been investigated to have rather lower desorption efficiency re-activation ACF than commercial ACF.

Two biofilter tests were conducted under different operating conditions. Test # 1 was performed to treat VOCs generated from a paint booth. The second test was performed to treat VOCs generated from chemical manufacturing processes. The volume of biofilter media was 4.3 $m^3$. For the test # 1, the biofilter was operated for 30 days with 99.9% reduction ratio. Range of temperature of each stage of the biofilter media was measured between $34^{\circ}C$ and $73^{\circ}C$. All the temperatures of stages reduced gradually after the initial dramatic increase. For the test # 2, the biofilter experiment was conducted for 14 days. In this case, the biofilter was installed outdoor and the experiment was performed during wintertime. Therefore, temperature management for the biofilter was needed. Seven-centimeter thick fiberglass insulation and $150^{\circ}C$ steam heating were used to overcome the outside freezing cold weather during test # 2. Temperature of stage # 5 was measured the highest and that of stage # 1 was the lowest. More acclimation time and test period was needed to determine the maximum loading rate.

Objectives: The concentrations and distribution characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in an industrial complex and surrouding affected residential areas were investigated in an effort to support the efficient management of VOCs. Methods: The atmospheric concentrations of VOCs were analyzed at sites around the Sihwa-Banwol complex located in the cities of Siheung and Ansan and in the surrounding affected residential areas. The appearance of VOCs and the characteristics of their temporal and spatial distribution were evaluated. Results: The total VOC concentrations in the industrial complex were detected at 1.9-2.3 times higher than in the affected areas, but the daily VOCs distributions showed similar patterns in both sites. In particular, it was confirmed that the composition ratio of the VOCs and concentration fluctuations over time in the affected areas are similar to those in the adjacent industrial complex. VOC levels in the affected areas were higher than in residential areas in cities without an industrial complex. Conclusions: VOCs in residential areas near an industrial complex were highly distributed due to the influence of continuous pollutant emissions from the industrial complex. Therefore, the management of VOCs in the atmosphere of the affected area is important for identifying and managing the sources of VOCs detected in high concentrations in the industrial complex.
