Post-consumed플라스틱 중 폐 polypropylene fraction으로 분리된 재료를 이용하여 열분해 실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 열분해 생성오일 중 용제로 사용이 가능한 BTEX-aromatics 수율이 반웅온도에 따라 어떤 영향을 받는지 고찰하는 것이었다. 이를 위하여 열전달이 우수한 유동층 반응기를 이용하여 $650^{\circ}C$에서 $700^{\circ}C$ 사이의 반응온도에서 열분해 실험을 진행하였다. 본 실험에서는 오일생성 극대화를 위해 열분해 반응 중 생성되는 가스를 유동화 가스로 사용하였으며, 유동화 가스의 유량과 시료 투입율은 실험 중에 일정하게 유지하였다. 실험결과 gas, oil 및 char가 반응 생성물로 얻어졌다. 생성 가스는 GCs(TCD, FID)를 사용하여 정량 분석하였고 정성적 분석을 위해서는 GC-MS 시스템을 이용하였다 정확한 분석을 위해서 생성오일은 진공 증류하여 distillation residue를 분리하였으며, 증류한 oil은 GC-MS 통해 정성 및 정량적 분석을 수행하였다. 반응온도가 높아질수록 distillation oil중의 BTEX-aromatics의 함량은 증가하였으며 $695^{\circ}C$에서 약 30% 정도의 함량을 나타내었다. 생성 가스는 대부분 $CH_4$, $C_2H_4$, $C_2H_6$, $C_3H_6$, $C_4H_{10}$로 구성되어 있었으며, 고위 발열량은 약 45 MJ/kg로서 열분해 공정 에너지원이나 기타 연료용 에너지원으로 사용가능할 것으로 평가되었다.

최근, 피셔-트롭시(Fischer-Tpropsch, F-T) 합성 생성물의 단환방향족(BTEX) 수율을 향상시켜 공정 경제성 및 효율을 높이기 위한 연구가 활발하다. 본 연구에서는, F-T 유래 탄화수소의 모델로서 에틸렌을 선정하고, HZSM-5 (HZ5)의 산특성, 메조기공율 및 결정화도 변화에 따른 에틸렌으로부터 방향족 합성 반응(ethylene-to-aromatics, ETA) 거동에 대하여 조사하였다. HZ5에 몰농도를 달리한 NH₄F 수용액을 함침 및 소성하여 불소 도입 HZ5를 제조하였으며, F/HZ5의 구조 및 화학적 특성은 BET, 고체 NMR, XPS, NH₃-TPD 및 피리딘-IR 분광법을 통하여 조사되었다. ETA 반응은 673 K, 0.1 MPa의 조건에서 실시되었으며, 0.17 M NH₄F 수용액 처리에 의한 불소화 HZ5는 산특성, 메조기공율 및 결정성 향상에 기인하여 에틸렌 전환율, BTEX 선택도 및 촉매 안정성이 향상되었다.

This study was designed to investigate the characteristics of atmospheric concentrations of toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Korea. Target compounds included 1,3-butadiene, aromatics such as BTEX, and a number of carbonyl compounds. In this paper, as the first part of the study, the performance of sampling and analytical methods was evaluated for the measurement of selected VOCs and carbonyl compounds in the ambient air. VOCs were determined by the adsorbent tube sampling and automatic thermal desorption coupled with GC/MSD analysis, while carbonyls by the DNPH-silica cartridge sampling with HPLC analysis. The methodology was investigated with a wide range of performance criteria such as repeatability, linearity. lower detection limits, collection efficiency, thermal conditioning, breakthrough volume and calibration methods using internal standards. In addition, the sampling and analytical methods established in this study were applied to real field samples duplicately collected in various ambient environments. Precisions for the duplicate samples appeared to be comparable with the performance criteria recommended by USEPA TO-17. The overall precision of the sampling and analytical methods was estimated to be within 20 ∼ 30% for major aromatic VOCs such as BTEX, whereas the precision for major carbonyl compounds such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde was within 10 ∼ 20% for field samples. This study demonstrated that the adsorbent sampling and thermal desorption method can be reliably applied for the measurement of BTEX in ppb levels frequently occurred in common indoor and ambient environments.

This study was designed to investigate the characteristics of atmospheric concentrations of toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Korea. Target compounds included 1,3-butadiene, aromatics such as BTEX, and a number of carbonyl compounds. In this paper, as the second part of the study, the seasonal and locational concentrations of atmospheric VOCs were evaluated. Sampling was conducted seasonally at seven sampling sites. each of them representing a large urban area (commercial and residential), a small urban area (commercial and residential), an industrial area (a site within the complex and a residential), and a background place in Korea. In general, higher concentrations were found in the petro-chemical industrial site than other sites, while VOCs measured in commercial (heavy -traffic) sites were higher than residential sites. Seasonality of VOCs concentrations were not so much clear as other combustion related pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, indicating that the VOCs are emitted from a variety of sources, not only vehicle exhaust and point sources but fugitive emissions. Except the industrial site, the concentrations of VOCs measured in this study do not reveal any serious pollution status, since the levels did not exceed any existing ambient standards in the U.K. and/or Japan. However, the increasing number of petrol -powered vehicles and the rapid industrialization in Korea may result in the increased levels of VOCs concentrations in many large urban areas in the near future, if there is no appropriate programme implemented for the control of these compounds.

This study was carried out to evaluate the concentration variations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the office environments located in a large urban area with respect to seasonality, smoking status, types of ventilation and heating. Indoor air sampling was undertaken in 37 and 30 offices in Daegu city during summer and winter, respectively. The VOC samples were collected using adsorbent tubes, and were determined by thermal desorption coupled with GC/MS analysis. The analytical method was validated for repeatability, method detection limits (MDL), and duplication precision. A total of 34 VOCs of environmental concern were determined, including 15 aromatics and 19 halogenated hydrocarbons. Average concentrations of BTEX appeared to 1.91 ppb, 22.98 ppb, 3.44 ppb, and 3.70 ppb, respectively. These values were relatively higher levels than those measured at homes and outdoor roadsides reported by other researches. In general, the concentrations of VOCs were higher in winter than summer, in smoking offices than non-smoking offices, in forced ventilation type than natural ventilation type, and in combustion heating than non-combustion heating offices. However, such differences were not always significant at a level of 0.05 by statistical tests (t-test and/or Mann-Whitney test) with some exceptions for BTEX and styrene. This study demonstrated that smoking status, ventilation type and presence of combustion sources indoors could be important factors on the elevated concentrations of some VOCs in the office environment.

We performed this study to investigate the spatial, seasonal, and daily variations of the concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Pohang, where large steel industrial complexes are located. Ambient air sampling was undertaken at 4 sites during 4 seasons. Each sample was taken for 4 hours continuously for 8 consecutive days per season at each site. Three sites were located within the Pohang city, but one as a control site in Gyeongju. A total of 72 individual VOCs were determined by thermal desorption coupled with GC/MS, including aliphatics, aromatics, carbonyls and halides. The most abundant VOC was toluene, being followed by ethylbenzene and xylenes. Benzene concentrations(c.a. 0.7 ppb) were found to be much lower than the national ambient standard of 1.5 ppb. Overall, the VOCs levels in Pohang appeared to be lower than other national industrial complexes in Korea such as Shiwha-Banwol, Yeosu-Gwangyang, Gumi, and Ulsan. This implies that steel industry may not give significant impacts on the atmospheric levels of VOCs as much as petrochemical, electronic, and/or textile industries, where large amounts of organic solvents are used.
