Passive samplers have been used for many years for the sampling of organic vapors in work environment atmospheres. Currently, all passive samplers used in domestic occupational monitoring are foreign products. This study was performed to evaluate variable parameters for the development of passive organic samplers, which include the geometry of the device and diffusive length for the sampler design. Four prototype diffusive lengths; A-1(4.5 mm), A-2(7.0 mm), A-3(9.5 mm), A-4(12.0 mm) were tested for adsorption performances to a chemical mixture (benzene, toluene, trichloroethylene, and n-hexane) according to the US-OSHA's evaluation protocol. A dynamic vapor exposure chamber developed and verified by related research was used for this study. The results of study are as follows. The results in terms of sampling rate and recommended sampling time test indicate that the most suitable model was A-3 (9.5 mm diffusive lengths on both sides) for passive sampler design in time weighted average (TWA) assessment. Sampling rates of this A-3 model were 45.8, 41.5, 41.4, and 40.3 ml/min for benzene, toluene, trichloroethylene, and n-hexane, respectively. The A-3 models were tested on reverse diffusion and conditions of low humidity air (35% RH) and low concentrations (0.2 times of TLV). These conditions had no affect on the diffusion capacity of samplers. In conclusion, the most suitable design parameters of passive sampler are: 1) Geometry and structure - 25 mm diameter and 490 $mm^2$ cross sectional area of diffusion face with cylindrical form of two-sided opposite diffusion direction; 2) Diffusive length - 9.5 mm in both faces; 3) Amount of adsorbent - 300 mg of coconut shell charcoal; 4) Wind screen - using nylon net filters (11 ${\mu}m$ pore size).

This study investigated the effects of different charcoals on the occurrence of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in grilled beef steaks and beef patties. Seven different charcoals were used as follows: from oak wood (C1), from orange wood (C2), from Valonia oak wood (C3), from Marabu wood (C4), extruded charcoal from beech wood (C5), from coconut shells (C6), and from hazelnut shells (C7). The grilling times for each charcoal type were 6 min for the beef patties and 7 min for the beef steaks, until the internal temperature reached at least 74℃. The total concentration of 16 PAHs (PAH16) in beef steaks grilled with C1 (35.75 ㎍/kg) and C7 (36.39 ㎍/kg) was higher than that of C3 (23.80 ㎍/kg) and C6 (24.48 ㎍/kg; p<0.05). The highest amounts of PAH16 (216.40 ㎍/kg) were determined in the beef patty samples grilled using C5 (p<0.05). The summation of benzo[a]anthracene, chrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene and benzo[a]pyrene, referred to as PAH4, was not detected in any of the beef steaks, whereas it was determined in the beef patties grilled with C2 (7.72 ㎍/kg) and C5 (22.95 ㎍/kg; p<0.05). The PAH16 concentrations of the beef patty samples in each charcoal group were significantly higher compared to the beef steaks (p<0.05). To avoid the formation of high PAH levels, the use of extruded charcoal and hazelnut shell charcoal should therefore be avoided when charcoal grilling beef steaks and beef patties, and low-fat meat products should be preferred.

Nutritional evaluation of some agro-industrial byproducts available in Samoa [dry brewers' grains (DBG), cocoa shell (CS), cocoa dust (CD) and desiccated coconut waste meal (DCWM)] available in Samoa was carried out using both the in vivo and in vitro techniques. In the in vivo study 24 Anglo-nubian goats were offered by-products with other feed ingredients to compound four different diets. The goats were randomly allocated to 4 diets on the basis of liveweight (18.7-0.3kg). The ADF content of the byproducts followed a similar trend to NDF. The byproducts have a high content of organic matter (91.0-95.4%). Gross energy (GE) content was higher in DCWM (25.1 MJ/kg DM), closely followed by CD (23.2 MJ/kg DM). Concentrate intake was significantly different (p<0.05) among the goats. Average daily live weight gains were 105, 92, 88 and 97 g/goat/day for DBG, CS, CD and DCWM, respectively. Daily live weight gains were higher (p<0.05) in the goats that received DBG, while the least gain was obtained in the goats that received CS byproduct diet. DM digestibility was significantly higher (p<0.05) in the goats on DBG diet than in the other goats. The least DM digestibility was obtained in the goats that received CD diet (p>0.05). CP digestibility followed a similar pattern to DM digestibility. The digestibility of NDF and ADF was influenced by the nature of the diets. The digestibility of OM and GE were best (p<0.05) in the goats that received DBG, DCWM and CS byproduct diets than in CD. Significant differences (p<0.05) among the byproducts were recorded for net gas production. Potential gas production (a+b) ranged from 7.064 to 42.17 ml. Organic matter digested (OMD) from gas production value at 24 h was higher in DBG (47.6 g/kg DM) and this was followed by DCWM (42.5 g/kg DM). The least OMD was obtained in CD (17.9 g/kg DM). A significant difference (p<0.05) in DM disappearance after 4, 8, 16, 24, 48 and 72 h was recorded. The potential and effective degradability varied significantly (p<0.05) from 85.95-99.6 g/kg DM and from 39.9-65.8%, respectively. The digestibility of the byproducts in both the in vivo and in in vitro techniques demonstrated that they are potential source of feed ingredients for ruminant livestock in Samoa and possibly in the other small Pacific Island countries. On the basis of their potential degradability the byproducts could be ranked in the following order:DCWM>DBG>CD>CS. In conclusion, the results obtained suggest that all the byproducts can contribute to ruminant livestock diets without adverse effects on feed intake, growth rate and apparent nutrient digestibility coefficients.

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.

본 연구에서는 하이드로사이클론, 응결/응집, 용존공기부상 단일 공정이 결합한 실 규모 물순환 조합공정(HCFD)의 오염 지표수 처리 성능을 평가하였다. 실 규모 물순환 공정은 수질 변동이 큰 유입 원수를 대상으로 안정적인 수처리 효율을 보였으며, 유입수의 주요 수질 지표가 매우 나쁨(BOD, TP, COD) 혹은 약간 나쁨(SS)이었으나, 방류수는 매우 좋음(BOD, SS, TP) 혹은 좋음(COD) 수준으로 향상되었다. 물순환 시스템 방류수의 후속 고도 처리를 위해 활성탄 기반 흡착 공정의 용존성 유기물 및 미량오염물질(잔류의약물질 APAP 및 산업 화학물질 AO7) 처리 잠재성을 평가하였다. 오염원 흡착 특성은 흡착동역학 및 등온 흡착실험과 관련된 모델링 기법을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 실험 결과, 후처리 활성탄 흡착은 잔류 유기물, APAP, AO7 유기물에 대한 높은 오염원 제거 잠재성이 있음이 확인되었으며, 오염원 흡착속도 및 최대 흡착량 값은 유사 2차 반응속도 모델과 Langmuir 등온흡착 모델에 의해 결정되었다. 본 연구 결과, 활성탄 기반 흡착 공정은 기존의 물순환 조합공정과 연계시 수처리 효율을 상호 보완적으로 높이고, 흡착 공정은 전단의 입자 분리 공정으로 제거가 어려운 용존성 오염원의 후속 처리에 대한 높은 잠재성이 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구에서는 당화 공정 중 축합된 구조로 발생되는 고형 부산물인 황산리그닌(Sulfuric acid lignin; SAL)의 나노 세공 탄소 소재로의 활용 가능성을 살펴보고자 수산화칼륨 촉매를 투입하여 $750^{\circ}C$에서 1 h 동안 고온 촉매 활성화 공정을 진행하였다. 이때 타 바이오매스 시료 유래 활성탄과의 물성 비교를 위해 코코넛셸(CCNS), 소나무(Pinus), Avicel로부터 각각 같은 방법으로 활성탄을 제조하였으며 화학 조성과 결합 구조, 표면 및 기공 분포 특성을 분석하였다. 열중량 분석 결과 최종 온도 $750^{\circ}C$에서 잔존 고형분 함량은 SAL > CCNS > Pinus > Avicel 순서였으며 이 경향은 활성화 공정 후 생성된 활성탄의 수율 순서와 동일하였다. 특히, SAL 유래 활성탄은 탄소 함량이 91.0%, $I_d/I_g$ peak ratio가 4.2로 가장 높게 나타났으며 이는 높은 탄소 고정성과 더불어 비정질의 거대 방향족 구조층이 형성되었음을 의미한다. 또한 제조된 활성탄은 모두 최초 시료의 비표면적($6m^2/g$)과 기공 부피($0.003cm^3/g$)에 비해 촉매 활성화 공정 후 각각 $1065{\sim}2341m^2/g$, $0.412{\sim}1.270cm^3/g$로 크게 증가하였으며 이 중 SAL 유래 활성탄의 표면 변화율이 가장 크게 나타났다. 이후 3종의 유기 오염물질(페놀, 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 카보퓨란)에 대한 제거율을 평가해보았을 때 모든 활성탄에서 표준 용액 100 ppm 대비 90 mg/g 이상의 높은 흡착 능력을 보였다. 따라서 축합된 구조인 SAL으로부터 고비표면적의 나노 세공 활성탄 제조가 가능할 뿐만 아니라 추후 유기 오염 물질 제거를 위한 카본 필터의 친환경 흡착 소재로 활용가능성이 높을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 부직포의 환경오염 문제를 해결하기 위하여 리그노셀룰로오스 섬유와 야자각 활성탄(CSA)을 이용한 미세먼지-저감 여과필터의 제조 가능성을 조사하였다. CSA의 경우, 휘발성 유기화합물(VOC)과 유해금속의 저감을 위한 여과필터 제조용 원료로서 적용 가능성을 확인하였으며, CSA의 VOC 저감효과는 목섬유보다 5배 이상으로 측정되었다. 돈모, 인모, 돈혈과 같은 단백질계 원료와 낙엽송 수피 열수 추출물을 이용하여 조제한 천연접착제를 적용하여 최소 200 kg/m³의 목표밀도와 함께 최대 40 wt%의 CSA로 제조된 섬유판은 취급이 가능한 강도를 보유한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이 조건에서 제조된 섬유판의 경우, 통기성이 낮아 이를 해결하기 위하여 통기구를 가진 섬유판의 제조가 요구되었다. 활성탄으로 사용한 CSA는 강도 및 성형성을 고려하여 입자의 크기는 2 mesh 이상으로 조절이 필요하였고, 표층에는 목섬유만 심층에는 목섬유와 활성탄으로 구성된 3층 섬유판으로 제조하는 방안이 최적조건으로 도출되었다. 한편 필터지(한지)는 우수한 미세먼지 여과능을 가진 것으로 조사되었으며, 결과적으로 타공 섬유판과 함께 한지로 구성된 여과필터 세트가 부직포로 생산되고 있는 기존 여과필터를 대신하여 실내외 공간에 존재하는 미세먼지외에 VOC와 유해금속 등의 저감장치용 여과필터로서 사용이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.
