Both UV Photolysis and Phtocatalytic Oxidation Processing are an emerging technology for the abatemant of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in atmospheric -pressure air streams. However, each process has some drawbacks of their own. The former is little known as an application for air pollution treatment, so it has been a rare choice in the field. Therefore we have to do more experiment and study for its application for treatment of VOCs. Although the latter has been used in the industrial fields, it still has a difficulty in decomposing high concentrations of VOCs. To solute these problems, we have been studying simultaneous application of those two technologies. We have studied the effects of background gas composition and gas temperature on the decomposition chemistry. It has shown that concentration of TCE and B.T.X., diameter of reactor, and wavelength of lamp have effects on decomposition efficiency. When using Photolysis Process only, the rates of fractional conversion of each material are found at TCE 79%, Benzene 65%, Toluene 68%, Xylene 76%. In case of Photocatalytic Oxidation Process only, the rates of fractional conversion decreased drastically above 30 ppm. When there two methods were combined, the rates of fractional conversion of each material are enhanced such as TCE 93%, Benzene 75%, Toluene 81%, Xylene 90%. Therefore, we conclude that the combination of Photolysis-Photocatalytic Oxidation process is more efficient than each individual process.

The photocatalyst of $TiO_2$ coated on a fly ash composites (TCF) was prepared from precipitant dropping method to remove the acetaldehyde by photocatalytic reaction. The TCF were characterized by crystal aize, crystal structure and specific surface area. The photodegradation of acetaldehyde has been investigated using a UV-illuminated fixed photocatalytic reactor with TCF catalyst and P-25 catalyst in gas phase. The effect of photodegradation reaction conditions, such as initial concentration of acetaldehyde, concentration of oxidant in mixed gas and the light intensity on the photodegradation of acetaldehyde were investigated. P-25 catalyst showed the highest photodegradation of acetaldehyde and anatase $TiO_2$ coated TCF showed higher decomposition rate than rutile coated TCF. The photodegradation rate of acetaldehyde increased with the decrease of flow rate, initial concentration of acetaldehyde ($C_i$) and water vapor, however, it was increased with the increas of UV light intensity. The optimum conditions were weight of TCF=10 g, flow rate=50 ml/min $C_i$=100 ppm, concentration of oxygen=20%, concentration of water vapor=100 ppm.

The current study evaluated the technical feasibility of the application of titanium dioxide ($TiO_{2}$) photo-catalytic air cleaners for the disinfection of bioaerosols present in indoor air. The evaluation included both laboratory and field tests and the tests of hydraulic diameter (HD) and lamp type (LT). Disinfection efficiency of photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) technique was estimated by survival ratio of bacteria or fungi calculated from the number of viable cells which form colonies on the nutrient agar plates. It was suggested that the reactor coating with $TiO_{2}$ did not enhance the adsorption of bioaerosols, and that the UV irradiation has certain extent of disinfection efficiency. The disinfection efficiency increased as HD decreased, most likely due to the decrease in the light intensity since the distance of the catalyst from the light source increased when increasing the HD. It was further suggested that the mass transfer effects were not as important as the light intensity effects on the PCO disinfection efficiency of bioaerosols. Germicidal lamp was superior to the black lamp for the disinfection of airborne bacteria and fungi, which is supported by the finding that the disinfection efficiencies were higher when the germicidal lamp was used compared to the black lamp in the laboratory test. These findings, combined with operational attributes such as a low pressure drop across the reactor and ambient temperature operation, can make the PCO reactor a possible tool in the effort to improve indoor bioaerosol levels.

Photocatalytic degradation of chlorpyrifos and diazinon, which are extensively used as an organophosphorous pesticide in the agriculture field, has been investigated with UV-radiated TiO$_2$ in aqueous phase. Photodegradation rate was increased with increasing pH of the solution. The removal efficiencies of chlorpyrifos and diazinon were 100% after 200 min in pH 9. Photodegradation followed a pseudo-first-order reaction. The rate constants of chlorpyrifos and diazinon were 0.0160min$\^$-1/ and 0.0180min$\^$-1/, respectively. NO$_3$$\^$-/, PO$_4$$\^$3-/, SO$_4$$\^$2-/ and Cl$\^$-/ were found as end products on the photocatalytic degradation of chlorpyrifos and diazinon with TiO$_2$/UV.

In this study, The decomposition of gas-phase Benzene and Toluene, Xylene in air streams by direct UV Photolysis, UV/TiO$_2$ and UV/TiO$_2$/A.C process was studied. The experiments were carried out under various UV light intensities and initial concentrations of B.T.X to investigate and compare the removal efficiency of the pollutant. B.T.X was determined by GC-FID of gas samples taken from the a glass sampling bulb which was located at reactor inlet and outlet by gas-tight syringe. From this study, the results indicate that UV/TiO$_2$/A.C system (photooxidation-photocatalytic oxidation-adsorption process) is ideal for treatment of B.T.X from the small workplace. Although the results needs more verifications, the methodology seems to be reasonable and can be applied for various workplace (laundry, gas station et al.).

Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) nanoparticles were prepared by the oxidation of titanium tetrachloride ($TiCl_4$) in a diffusion flame reactor. The average diameter of particles was 15 to 30 nm and mass fraction of anatase ranged from $40\;to\;80\%$. Effects of particle size and phase composition of those $TiO_2$ nanoparticles on photocatalytic properties such as decomposition of methylene blue and bacteria gas were investigated. The degree of decomposition of methylene blue by the $TiO_2$ nanoparticles under the illumination of the black light was directly proportional to the anantase mass fraction, but inversely to the particle size. The decomposition of bacteria by the $TiO_2$ nanoparticles under the illumination of the fluorescent light showed the same trend as in the case of the methylene blue.

교대로 운전되는 광촉매반응기 공정 및 바이오필터 공정[전통적 바이오필터(L 반응기)와 두 개의 유닛(R_up 및 R_dn)을 가지는 개선된 바이오필터(R 반응기)]으로 구성된 통합 하이브리드시스템(통합처리시스템)에서 에탄올과 황화수소를 동시 함유한 폐가스 처리를 성공적으로 수행하였다. 통합처리시스템의 운전 단계로서 HA1, HA2 및 폐가스의 공급 방향이 뒤바뀐 HA3T stage의 광촉매 공정에서 각각 55, 50 및 45%의 에탄올 제거효율과 각각 70, 60 및 37%의 황화수소 제거효율을 보였다. 특히, HA3T stage에서 통합처리시스템으로 공급되는 폐가스(feed)의 황화수소 농도가 10 ppmv에서 20 ppmv로 급증함에 따른 황화수소 부하량의 증가로 인하여 특히 황화수소 제거효율의 급격한 감소를 관찰하였다. 통합처리시스템의 HA1, HB1, HA2 및 HB2 stage 및 HA3T stage의 초반에, 개선된 바이오필터(R 반응기)의 각 유닛에 설치한 sampling 구들의 에탄올의 파과 순서 및 에탄올 처리효율의 크기 순서는, HA3T stage 후반과 HB3T stage의 경우에서 각각 거꾸로 바뀌었다. 한편 개선된 바이오필터(R 반응기)에서 황화수소의 경우는 파과 정도가 에탄올의 경우만큼 두드러지지는 않았으나 비슷한 추세가 관찰되었다.

퇴비공장 또는 공공시설에서 발생되는 악취폐가스의 대표적인 제거대상 오염원인 황화수소와 암모니아를 포함한 악취폐가스를 처리하기 위하여 여러 운전 조건 하에서 바이오필터와 광촉매반응기로 구성된 semi-pilot 하이브리드시스템을 운전하였다. 황화수소 및 암모니아를 동시 처리하는 바이오필터시스템에서는 황화수소의 처리성능과 다르게 암모니아의 처리성능은 암모니아만을 처리하는 바이오필터시스템보다 훨씬 떨어졌다. Semi-pilot 하이브리드시스템의 황화수소와 암모니아에 대한 제거효율은 각각 약 83% 및 약 65% 정도이었다. 따라서 semi-pilot 바이오필터시스템의 경우보다 황화수소 및 암모니아에 대한 제거효율은 각각 4 및 30% 정도 증가하였다. 또한 황화수소와 암모니아의 동시제거를 할 때에 황화수소와 암모니아의 최대 제거용량은 각각 약 60 및 $37g/m^3/h$이었다. 따라서 semi-pilot 바이오필터시스템의 경우보다 황화수소 및 암모니아에 대한 최대 제거용량은 각각 약 9.1%와 약 23.3% 증가하였다. 그러므로 본 semi-pilot 하이브리드시스템은 semi-pilot 바이오필터시스템을 기준으로 황화수소보다 암모니아의 제거율과 최대 제거용량 제고에 더욱 기여하였다.
