탄화 및 활성화 조건을 매개체로 여러 등급의 Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)계 ACF (ACF : Activated Carbon Fiber)를 제조하여 최적의 비표면적을 나타내는 활성화 공정을 알아보았고, 가장 큰 비표면적을 갖는 PAN계 ACF에 대한 표면특성 및 독성가스 등에 대한 흡착특성을 분석하였다. 시험결과 활성화 온도가 증가할수록 비표면적이 증가하고 탄화 온도가 감소할수록 비표면적이 감소하였고, $900^{\circ}C$로 15 min간 탄화한 후 $900^{\circ}C$로 30 min간 활성화 공정을 거친 ACF가 $1204m^2/g$의 가장 높은 비표면적을 나타내었고 요오드 및 테러용 독성가스에 대한 흡착 성능시험 결과 기존의 흡착제보다 우수하였다. 또한 선택적 흡착을 위한 기능성을 부여하기 위하여 기존의 금속염을 침적하는 방법을 대체하여 비교적 안정화된 금속나노입자(Ag, Pt, Cu, Pd)를 제조하여 첨착하였고 이에 대한 표면특성 및 $SO_{2}$에 대한 흡착특성을 분석하였다. 금속나노입자 첨착 ACF에 대한 $SO_{2}$ 흡착성능 시험결과 Ag, Pt, Cu 나노입자를 첨착한 ACF는 무첨착 ACF의 파과시간(326 sec)과 비교 할 때 크게 변함이 없었으나 Pd 나노입자를 첨착한 ACF는 파과시간이 925 sec로 $SO_{2}$ 흡착성능이 매우 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

이 연구는 근로자 및 인체에 유해한 휘발성유기화합물질인 benzene, toluene, p-xylene을 흡착제거할 수 있는 흡착제를 개발하고자 하였다. 따라서 그 것을 위하여 기존 상업용 흡착효율을 높이고자 KOH/ACF(activated carbon fibers)를 몰비 1:1로 ACF를 재활성 시켜 기존 ACF와 재 활성 시킨 ACF와의 흡착효율을 비교 검토하고자 하였다. 그 결과 각 물질에 대한 흡착시간에 따른 흡착파과효율(%)는 농도가 클수록 커져 빠른 파과속도를 보였고 또한 농도를 125PPM으로 고정시키고 유량을 0.5$\ell$/min에서 탈착실험을 통한 흡착효과의 재현성은 toluene과 p-xylene의 경우 유사한 경향을 보였다. 그러나 benzene의 경우 재활성한 ACF가 재활성 되지 않은 상업용 ACF보다 오히려 탈착효과가 낮은 것으로 관찰되었다.

An adsorption process to recover the pure $CH_4\;and\;CO_2$ from its mixture was examined. In this study, activated carbon fibers were used as a selective adsorbent. The activated carbon fibers has 78~94% micropore volume and 10.5~20.3${\AA}$ narrow pore size, and showed high adsorption rate and the good selectivity for $CO_2$ under the ambient pressure. The ACF with high surface area showed short mass transfer zone and long breakthrough time and, its adsorption capacity depended on the microporosity. Compared with single component adsorption, the amount adsorbed $CO_2$ on ACF increased by the roll-up of $CH_4$ in mixed gases. The adsorption selectivity increased as now rate and $CO_2$ concentration of mixed gases increased, showing 5.2 selectivity for 75% $CO_2$ concentration.

Adsorption characteristics of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) by activated carbon fiber(ACF) were investigated using a continuous system for benzene, toluene, xylene(BTX) generation. Studied characteristics for adsorption were equilibrium capacity, accumulative adsorption, and breakthrough curve. Operating variables were adsorption temperature(25~45$^{\circ}C$) and partial pressure(1.2~12 mmHg) of BTX. The experimental results show that the adsorption equilibrium capacity increases with increasing partial pressure of BTX and decreases with increasing temperature. It was also found that the break point was decreased with increasing partial pressure, temperature and gas flow rate due to an effect of mass transfer of adsorbate.

[ $TiO_2$ ]ACF composites were prepared by the electrochemical method with Titanium (IV) n-butoxide (TNB) electrolyte under different electrochemical operation time. The BET surface area for $TiO_2$/ACF composites decrease with the increase of electrochemical operation time. There is a single crystal structure which is anatase in all of the samples from the data of XRD. The SEM micrphotographs of $TiO_2$/ACF composites show that the $TiO_2$ particles were well mixed with the ACF. There are O and P with strong C and Ti peaks in all samples from EDX results, and it also shows that a decrease of the C content with a increasing of Ti content with increasing of the electrochemical operation time in the over all composites. DSC cures show that the exothermic peak of all composites at $560^{\circ}C$ represents the transformation heat of amorphous parts to anatase phase and the discontinuous grain growth of the transformed anatase particles. Finally, the excellent photoactivity of $TiO_2$/ACF composites (especially, ACFT10) could be attributed that the decrease of concentration of MB can be concluded to be much faster for the adsorption by ACF than for photocatalytic decomposition by $TiO_2$.

추진제는 저장 중 발생되는 질소산화물로 인해서 저장수명이 짧아진다. 추진제의 저장수명을 연장할 목적으로 활성탄소섬유로 추진제에서 발생하는 질소산화물을 흡착하였다. 활성탄소섬유에 폐추진제를 첨착시키고 열처리하여 표면을 개질한 결과 비표면적이 약간 감소하였으나 피리딘(pyridine), 피리돈(pyridone) 및 피롤(pyrrol) 등의 질소기능기가 생기는 것을 확인하였다. NO에 대한 흡착시험을 통해서 표면개질한 활성탄소섬유의 흡착능이 개질 이전의 활성탄소섬유에 비해 약 2배 증가하였다. 그리고 추진제에 대한 가속수명시험 결과 표면개질한 활성탄소섬유를 동봉하면 추진제의 저장수명이 약 25% 증가하였다.

This study was to evaluate the efficiency of diffusive monitor using activated carbon fiber(ACF, KF-1500) in measuring airborne organic solvents. The following characteristics were identified and studied as critical to the performance of diffusive monitor; recovery, sampling rate, face velocity, reverse diffusion and storage stability. For the evaluation of the performance of this monitor, MIBK, PCE, toluene were used as organic solvents. In the sampling rate experiments, eight kinds of solvents (n-hexane, MEK, DIBK, MCF, TCE, CB, xylene, cumene) as well as the above solvents were used. The results were as follows: 1. The desorption efficiencies(DE's) of ACF diffusive monitor ranged from 83 % to 101 %. In contrast, those of coconut shell charcoal ranged from 78 % to 102 %. Especially, the DE's of ACF for the polar solvents such as MEK were superior to those of charcoal. 2. Experimental sampling rates on ACF were average 42ml/min(37-46ml/min) for 11 organic solvents at $24{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, $50{\pm}5%RH$. However ideal sampling rates(DA/L) were 33 % higher than experimental sampling rates. 3. The initial response(15~16 min) of the testing monitor was 2 times higher than the actual concentration determined by the reference methods at $24{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, $8{\pm}5%RH$ and $80{\pm}5%RH$. Within 1 hours, the curve reached a linear horizontal line at low humidity condition. But sampling efficiencies decreased with respect to time at high humidity condition. And sampling efficiencies were higher at high humidity condition than low humidity condition for MIBK. 4. At very low velocity (less than 0.02 m/sec), the concentration of ACF diffusive monitor were poorly estimated. But ACF diffusive monitor were not affected at higher velocity(0.2 m/sec-0.6 m/sec). 5. There was no significant reverse diffusion when the ACF monitors were exposed to clean air for 2 hours after being exposed for 2 hours at the level of 1 TLV. 6. There was no significant sample loss during 3 weeks of storage at room temperature and 5 weeks of storage at refrigeration.

녹조현상 발생시 남조류에 의하여 발생하는 이취미 물질인 Geosmin과 2-methylisoborneol(2-MIB)는 수돗물에 냄새를 유발하는 원인 물질로서 제거가 필요하다. 일반적으로 정수장에서는 이취미 물질의 제거를 위하여 활성탄을 사용하고 있으나 활성탄의 기공 분포와 활성탄의 입자크기가 이취미 물질 흡착제 미치는 영향에 대한 정보는 부족하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 다양한 활성탄의 기공분포와 활성탄의 입자 크기가 이 취미 물질 흡착에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 분말활성탄(PAC), 입상활성탄(GAC), 활성탄소섬유(ACF)의 이취미 물질 흡착을 비교한 결과, PAC > ACF > GAC 순서로 이취미물질 흡착제거효율이 높았다. 다양한 기공분포 특성을 갖는 분말활성탄들을 비교한 결과, 미세기공이 잘발달된 경우가 Geosmin과 2-MIB의 흡착에 유리한 것으로 나타났으며, 입자 크기의 경우에는 작을수록 Geosmin과 2-MIB의 흡착에 보다 효과적이었다.

Toluene, n-hexane, and methyl ethyl ketone(MEK) were exposed to the activated carbon fiber(ACF) and 3M(Model 3500) diffusive samplers under low and high humidity levels. In order to evaluate these two samplers, the sampling capacity, sampling rate, reverse diffusion, and storage stability were obtained. At low humidity level($8{\pm}3%RH$), the adsorption amount of all three organic vapors to the ACF diffusive sampler showed a positive linear relationship up to 8 hours. However, at high humidity level($90{\pm}5%RH$), n-hexane and MEK maintained a positive linear relationship up to 1.5 hrs, but decreased in their adsorption amounts afterwards. On the other hand, the adsorption amount of n-hexane, MEK, and toluene to 3M diffusive sampler showed almost a positive linear relationship up to 8 hours at both humidity levels. At low humidity level, there was almost no reverse diffusion for both 3M and ACF diffusive samplers. However, when the ACF diffusive sampler was used at high humidity level, there was about 52.63% of MEK sample loss and about 92.59% of n-hexane sample loss. The storage stabilities of the ACF and 3M diffusive samplers were both relative stable except for MEK. In the case of MEK, the difference between the analysis of the organic vapor right after the sampling and that of 3 weeks later at room temperature was 45% for the ACF diffusive sampler and 18% for the 3M diffusive sampler. Since the storage stability of the samples stored in a refrigerator was relatively stable, they need to be refrigerated until the analysis is done.

Charcoal $tube/CS_2$ method are more popularly used than any other in the measurement of the working environment for the exposure evaluation of organic solvent, but it is some weak points that the lower accuracy can be obtained on the polar materials and within the range of the low concentration. Thus solvent desorption method has been developed to make accuracy higher and to overcome some weak points. However, because of high price of adsorption tube for thermal desorption and the short of study on its application to the working environment, it is not popularly used in the domestic industrial hygiene fields. This dissertation aims to develop thermal desorption and adsorption tubes for measuring organic solvents in the working environment, by comparing and analyzing breakthrough condition and adsorption capacity with ACF. Specific surface area of ACF used in this study is wider than the one of AC and micropore of ACF related with adsorption has been developed, and adsorption velocity and adsorption amount are very excellent by linking a pore of surface and an inside well into micropore. 1. Result of analysis on physical characteristics of adsorbent, the specific surface area of ACF was 1.3 times higher than that of AC. Distribution ratio of micropore related to adsorption was 94% on ACF and AC. Result of SEM, micropore of the AC is opened to the surface. In contrast, ACF shows that extremely fast adsorption speed. Because of micropore are exposed on the surface and penetrate through each other. 2. Breakthrough characteristics of adsorbents was not different from slop of breakthrough curve. The effluent concentration reaches 10% of initial concentration($C_{out}/C_{in}=0.1$, break point) of ACF was 30~316min longer than that of AC. Therefore, the adsorption capacities of ACF was 1.1~4.6 times higher than that of AC. ACF can be used as a proper adsorbent for measurement of organic solvent.
