본 연구에서는 에어로졸의 종류에 따른 광흡수 특성을 표시할 수 있는 새로운 에어로졸 파라미터인 Modified Aerosol Factor(MAF)를 산출하였다. MAF는 AERONET의 선포토미터로부터 산출되는 4 파장(440, 675, 870 그리고 1020 nm)의 단산란알베도로부터 도출되었다. 에어로졸 종류에 단산란알베도 값이 파장 증가에 따라 다른 형태를 보이는 점으로부터 4파장의 단산란알베도를 이용하여 선형회귀분석을 수행하고 분석값의 기울기 값을 산출하였다. 먼지입자는 기울기 값이 양의 값을 보이고, 순수한 먼지입자 일수록 높은 값을 보였다. 다른 종류의 에어로졸이 혼합됨에 따라 기울기 값은 감소하였다. 먼지입자를 제외한 오염입자와 smoke 입자는 음의 값을 보였다. 광흡수 특성의 차이를 파악하기 위하여 1020 nm에서의 단산란알베도 값을 보정하였다. 보정된 단산란알베도와 기울기 값을 합하여 MAF를 도출하였다. MAF는 오염입자와 smoke 입자는 -1, 먼지입자는 1.5의 값을 보였으며, 서로 다른 에어로졸 종류별로 광흡수 특성이 높을수록 낮은 값의 분포를 보였다.

In the estimation of the aerosol single fiber efficiency using fibrous filters, there is a size range, where the particles penetrate most effectively through the fibrous collectors, and corresponding minimum single fiber efficiency. For small particles in which the diffusion mechanism is dominant, the Cunningham slip correction factor (C_c) affects the single fiber efficiency and the most penetrating particle size (MPPS). Therefore, for accurate estimation, C_c is essential to be considered. However, many previous studies have neglected this factor because of its complexity and the associated difficulty in deriving the appropriate parameterization particularly for the MPPS. In this study, the expression for the MPPS, and the corresponding expression for the minimum single fiber efficiency are analytically derived, and the effects of C_c are determined. In order to accommodate the slip factor for all particle-size ranges, C_c is simplified and modified. Overall, the obtained analytical expression for the MPPS is in a good agreement with the exact solution.

Granular bed filters are widely used to remove particulate matter in flue gas and are filled with various shapes of packing material. The packing material plays an important role in determining the overall collection performance, such as pressure drop and collection efficiency. The pressure drop of a granular bed filter has been calculated using the Ergun equation, while the collection efficiency has been predicted using the log-penetration equation based on the single sphere theory. However, a prediction equation of collection efficiency for a granular bed filter filled with non-spherical packing materials has not been suggested yet. Therefore, in this study, three different shapes of packing materials (sphere, cylinder, and irregular) were prepared to propose a prediction equation. The pressure drop and collection efficiency in a granular bed filter filled with each shape of packing material were measured experimentally and compared with theoretically predicted values. We found that experimentally measured pressure drops matched well with values theoretically predicted using the Ergun equation considering the shape factor. However, experimental collection efficiencies were higher than theoretical ones predicted by the log-penetration equation using the single sphere theory. We modified the log-penetration equation by employing a shape factor and found a good relationship between experimental and theoretical collection efficiencies.

This study evaluated the consistency between two quantitative fit test devices with different methods of ambient aerosol counting. Three types of respirators (N95, half mask, and full facepiece) were worn by 50 participants (male, n = 25; female, n = 25), PortaCount (Pro+ 8038) and MT (05U) were connected to one probe to one mask, and fit factors (FFs) were measured simultaneously with the original and modified protocols. As a result of comparing MT FFs with PortaCount FFs as references and by applying for the pass/fail criteria (FF = 100), the consistency between the two devices for half masks and full facepieces was very high. N95 was somewhat weaker than the two type of respirators in the consistency; however, the correlation between the two devices was very strong (p < 0.0001). The results showed that an FF of 100 as measured by PortaCount was likely to be measured as 75 by the MT. Therefore, when performing the fit test for N95 using the MT and pass level of FF 100, a certain level of adjustment is necessary, whether end-user or putting a scaling factor by manufacturer.
