두가지 형태(1단 반응기와 2단 반응기)의 UV-$TiO_2$광촉매 시스템과 3가지 형태의 $TiO_2$가 코팅된 촉매를 이용하여 미생물에 대한 살균효과를 살펴보았다. 첫번째 형태는 석영관에 $TiO_2$가 박막증착된 것이고 두번째 형태는 glass bead 표면에 $TiO_2$가 코팅된 형태이며 세번째는 alginate bead에 $TiO_2$가 혼합된 형태이다. 1분동안 UV를 조사하였을때 1단 반응기에서 $TiO_2$가 박막증착된 석영관과 $TiO_2$가 코팅된 glass bead의 살균효율은 각각 63.2%와 89.9%이었다. 반응기에 기포를 주입했을 때의 살균효율은 glass bead의 경우 95%로 기포를 주입하지 않았을 때의 90.6%보다 휠씬 효과적이었다. 기포를 주입하면서 광촉매로 alginate bead에 $TiO_2$가 혼합된 것을 이용하였을 경우의 살균효율은 86%이었다. $TiO_2$가 코팅된 glass bead를 이용한 반응기에 기포를 주입하면서 $H_2$$O_2$를 처리하였을 때의 살균정도는 미량농도에서도 매우 효과적이었다. 1단 반응기보다 2단 반응기에서의 살균효율이 더욱 증가하였으며 E. coli에 대한 살균효과가 S. cerevisiae보다 더 높게 나타났다.

The photodegradation of phenol and toluene with the $TiO_2$-coated polyethylene (PE) particles were investigated in the slurry type photocatalytic reactor, changing the $TiO_2$ particle sizes, initial phenol and toluene concentrations, and the oxygen flow rate. The nano-sized $TiO_2$ photocatalyst particles were prepared by the diffusion flame reactor and they were coated onto PE particles by using the hybridization system for the efficient recollection of $TiO_2$-coated particles after photodegradation experiments. The degradation efficiencies of phenol and toluene with the $TiO_2$-coated PE particles were more than 90% after photodegradation of 80 minutes for most cases. The efficiencies of photodegradation with the $TiO_2$-coated PE particles were found to be lower than those by the pure $TiO_2$ particles by 50%, because of the decrease in specific surface area of $TiO_2$ particles in PE particles.

In this study plastic optical fibers (POFs) were considered as light-transmitting media and substrates for the potential use in photocatalytic environmental purification system. After the characteristics of POFs in terms of light transmittance and absorption were determined at the beginning, the further investigation was performed through the photocatalytic degradation of trichloroethylene (TCE), iso-propanol and etc. with TiO$_2$-coated optical fiber reactor systems (POFR). It is concluded that the use of POFs is preferred to quartz optical fibers (QOFs) since the advantages such as ease of handling, lower cost, relatively reasonable light attenuation at the wavelength of near 400nm can be obtained. Various geometrical reactor shapes have been constructed and applied for the last one and half years. For the use of POF in water phase treatment, however, more detailed scientific and engineering aspects should be envisaged. This case requires a suitable mixture to obtain more stable and innocuous immobilization of photocatalyst on POF. To overcome this disadvantage, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) was conducted in a fluidized bed to deposit thin films of titania on glass and alumina beads. Those can be used as photocatalysis for the removal of pollutants especially in liquid phases.

The performance of fluidized-bed reactor with Photomedia, immobilized TiO$_2$ onto the porous ceramic ball using a sol-gel method has been studied in this work. A simple model substrate, dilute Rhodamine B (RhB), was decolorized at room temperature. For the purpose of comparison, the slurry reactor and the Inner Wall Coated Reactor (IWCR) were used. The aim of this work was to develop the photocatalytic fluidized bed reactor (PFBR) through contrasting the photodegradability of various reactors such as the TiO$_2$slurry reactor, the inner-wall coated reactor (IWCR). In this study, the RhB was decolorized in three types of reactor. Even though the reaction rate constant of PFBR was lower than that of slurry reactor, PFBR had the advantages of preventing the wash-out of photocatalyst, so it can be operated continuously.

$Y_2Ti_2O_7$ nanoparticles (0.3 mol%) have been successfully synthesized by the co-precipitation process. The samples, adjusted to pH7 with ammonia solution as catalyst and calcined at $700{\sim}900^{\circ}C$, exhibit very fine particles with close to spherical shape and average size of 10-30 nm. It was possible to control the size of the synthesized $Y_2Ti_2O_7$ particles by manipulating the conditions. The $Y_2Ti_2O_7$ nanoparticles were coated on a glass substrate by a dipping coating process with inorganic binder. The $Y_2Ti_2O_7$ solution coated on the glass substrate had excellent adhesion of 5B; pencil hardness test results indicated an excellent hardness of 6H. The thickness of the thick film was about $30{\mu}m$. Decomposition of MB on the $Y_2Ti_2O_7$ thin film shows that the photocatalytic properties were excellent.

UV-TiO$_2$ 광촉매를 이용한 공기 정화 시스템에 운전조건에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 이 연구에서 시스템의 운영 조건이 바뀜에 따른 오염물질 제거 특성을 관찰하기 위해 덕트 형태의 반응기를 제작하고, 스테인레스 격자망에 TiO$_2$를 코팅하였다. 또한 benzene을 이용하여 UV/TiO$_2$ 공정으로 유입농도를 변화시키고, 반응기로 들어오는 유량을 조절하여 TiO$_2$를 코팅한 스테인레스 격자망을 부착한 평판에서의 유속을 변화시켰으며, 코팅한 TiO$_2$ 광촉매량을 변화시키고, 일정한 양의 TiO$_2$ 광촉매를 코팅한 면적을 변화시켰으며, UV light intensity를 변화시켜 그에 따른 영향을 관찰하였다. 모든 실험에서의 상대습도는 55%, 반응기 온도는 45$^{\circ}C$를 유지하였다. 실험의 결과를 살펴보면, benzene의 유입농도가 증가할수록 제거효율이 감소하였고, 유속이 느려질수록, 즉 농도 경계층 두께(concentration boundary layer thickness)가 증가할수록, 코팅한 광촉매량, 광촉매를 코팅한 면적, 조사한 UV 램프의 intensity가 증가할수록 benzene 제거효율이 증가하였다. 본 연구 자료를 바탕으로 실내 공기 중 저농도의 VOCs를 대상으로 공기 정화 시스템을 설계할 경우 유용하게 적용할 수 있는 자료를 제시할 수 있다고 판단된다.

Graphene oxide (GO)-titania composites have emerged as an attractive heterogeneous photocatalyst that can enhance the photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles owing to their potential interaction of electronic and adsorption natures. Accordingly, $TiO_2$-GO mixtures were synthesized in this study using a simple chemical mixing process, and their heterogeneous photocatalytic activities were investigated to determine the degradation of airborne organic pollutants (benzene, ethyl benzene, and o-xylene (BEX)) under different operational conditions. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results demonstrated the presence of GO for the $TiO_2$-GO composites. The average efficiencies of the $TiO_2$-GO mixtures for the decomposition of each component of BEX determined during the 3-h photocatalytic processes were 26%, 92%, and 96%, respectively, whereas the average efficiencies of the unmodified $TiO_2$ powder were 3%, 8%, and 10%, respectively. Furthermore, the degradation efficiency of the unmodified $TiO_2$ powder for all target compounds decreased during the 3-h photocatalytic processes, suggesting a potential deactivation even during such a short time period. Two operational conditions (air flow entering into the air-cleaning devices and the indoor pollution levels) were found to be important factors for the photocatalytic decomposition of BEX molecules. Taken together, these results show that a $TiO_2$-GO mixture can be applied effectively for the purification of airborne organic pollutants when the operating conditions are optimized.
