Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in the 2007 CAPSS (Clean Air Protection Supporting System) emissions inventory are chemically speciated for the SAPRC99 (Statewide Air Pollution Research Center 99) mechanism, following the Source Classification Code (SCC) matching method to borrow the U.S.EPA's chemical speciation profiles. CMAQ simulations with High-order Direct Decoupled Method (HDDM) are in turn applied to evaluate uncertainty in the method by comparing the simulated model VOC species to the observations in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) for a 2007 June episode. Simulations under-predicted ALK1 to ALK4 in SAPRC99 by a factor of 2 to 5 and over-predicted ALK5 by a factor of 7.5 while ARO1, ARO2, OLE1, and ethylene (ETH) are comparable to the observations, showing relative difference by 10 to 30%. OLE2 emissions are roughly 4 times overestimated. Emission rates for individual VOC model species are revised referring to the ratio of simulated to observed concentrations. Impact of the VOC emission changes on the overall ozone prediction was insignificant for the days of which 1-hr maximum ozone are lower than 100 ppb. However, simulations showed ozone difference by 5 to 10 ppb when high ozone above 120 ppb was observed in the vicinity of Seoul. This result suggests that evaluations on individual model VOC emissions be necessary to lead ozone control plans to the right direction. Moreover, the simulated ratios of ARO1 and ARO2 to $NO_x$ are roughly 50% lower than the observed ones, which imply that adjustment in $NO_x$ and VOC emission rates may be required to mimic the real VOC/$NO_x$ condition over the area.

본 연구의 목적은 연속적 폭굉속도(VOD) 측정시스템을 이용하여 상용 테르밋 반응 혼합제의 연속적인 연소전파거동을 측정하기 위한 방법을 제안하기 위함이다. 두 종류의 상용 VOD 센서(VOD PROBEROD-OS, VOD PROBEROD-HS)와 자체개발한 VOD 센서(VOD PROBEROD-ES)를 기존 연속적 VOD 측정시스템에 적용하여 테르밋 반응과정에서 발생하는 연소전파속도(VOC)를 측정한 결과, 자체 개발한 VOD PROBEROD-ES 센서만 정상적인 연속적 연소전파거동을 보여주었다. 결과적으로, 철재튜브 내 장전된 테르밋 반응 혼합제는 기폭점으로부터 100mm 이내에서 약 200m/s의 연소전파속도를 보였으며, 100mm와 300mm 구간에서 급작스럽게 증가하여 음속의 2배에 가까운 VOC를 나타내었다. 그 이후 서서히 증가하여 최종적으로 800m/s까지 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 테르밋 반응 혼합제를 이용하여 정상적인 VOC나 위력을 기대하기 위해서는 철재튜브 등으로 완전히 구속된 상태에 길이 300mm 이상 장전하여야 함을 의미한다.

This paper presents a novel Parameter-Independent Fictive-Axis (PIFA) approach for the Voltage-Oriented Control (VOC) algorithm used in grid-tied single-phase inverters. VOC is based on the transformation of the single-phase grid current into the synchronous reference frame. As a result, an orthogonal current signal is needed. Traditionally, this signal has been obtained from fixed time delays, digital filters or a Hilbert transformation. Nevertheless, these solutions present stability and transient drawbacks. Recently, the Fictive Axis Emulation (FAE) VOC has emerged as an alternative for the generation of the quadrature current signal. FAE requires detailed information of the grid current filter along with its transfer function for signal creation. When the transfer function is not accurate, the direct and quadrature current components present steady-state oscillations as the fictive two-phase system becomes unbalanced. Moreover, the digital implementation of the transfer function imposes an additional computing burden on the VOC. The PIFA VOC presented in this paper, takes advantage of the reference current to create the required orthogonal current, which effectively eliminates the need for the filter transfer function. Moreover, the fictive signal amplitude and phase do not change with a frequency drift, which results in an increased reliability. This yields a fast, linear and stable system that can be installed without fine tuning. To demonstrate the good performance of the PIFA VOC, simulation and experimental results are presented.

저농도의 난 수용성 VOC가스가 포함되어 있는 다량의 오염가스를 처리하기 위하여 흡수탑과 생물반응기의 결합체인 새로운 처리시스템을 제시하였다. 바이오스크러버의 스크러버에서는 세정액으로 기상중의 처리대상오염물질의 흡수가 일어나며 세정액은 생물반응기로 이송되어 호기성 미생물이 오염물을 분해시킨다. 본 연구에서는 폐가스중의 VOC분리를 위하여 재순환가능한 고비점용매를 사용하였다. 고비점용매를 포함한 세정액은 기/액 향류접촉이 이루어지는 흡수탑의 충전층에서 폐가스중의 오염물을 분리한다. 흡수탑은 Pall ring충전제로 채워 실제공정을 모사 하고자 하였다. 흡수처리후 생물반응기로 이송된 흡수액은 재생 후 다시 흡수탑으로 재 순환하였다. 실험에 사용된 대상가스는 농도가 400 mg/$\textrm{m}^3$ 인 톨루엔으로, 세정액이 가스흐름과 향류로 약 10~15L/min의 유량으로 충전층을 적시며 내려오는 충전탑내부로 약 100 L/min의 유량으로 도입하였다. VOC처리를 위해 제작된 본 바이오스크러버에서 고비점용매를 이용한 연속실험결과 최적운전 조건에서 약 80%의 처리율을 얻을 수 있었다.

During automotive painting, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with the paint solvents are emitted to the atmosphere. Most VOC emissions come from spraying operations via the use of solvent-based paints, as the spraybooth air picks up gaseous solvent compounds and overspray paint materials. The VOCs consist of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, ketones, esters, alcohols, and glycolethers. Most VOCs (some hydrophilic VOCs are captured and retained in the water.) are captured by an adsorption system and thermally oxidized. In this paper, the processes involved in automotive painting and in VOC control are reviewed. The topics include: painting operations (briefly), the nature of VOCs, VOC-control processes (adsorption, absorption, biological removal, and thermal oxidation) and energy recovery from VOCs using a fuel reformer and a fuel cell, and the beneficial use of paint sludge.

본 연구에서는 중형 규모의 매립장지역을 중심으로 환경대기 및 배출가스 중의 VOC농도를 관측하였다. 특히 배출가스에 대해 15가지 VOC성분을 GC-PID방식으로 분석하고, 이를 이용하여 15가지 성분의 탄소성분의 조성에 미치는 기여도를 평가하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면, 배출가스 중의 VOC는 수 십 ppm 수준으로 일반 대기 중의 농도와 1천배 가까운 차이를 보여주었다. 따라서 배출가스와 환경대기 중의 VOC 농도에는 상당한 수준의 차이가 존재하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 자료를 이용하여, 배출량을 산정한 결과 15가지 VOC성분과 전체 비메탄계 탄화수소 (NMHC)의 배출량은 연간 8.6과 103 ton으로 계산되었다. 특히 이들 15개 VOC성분 중에서 BTEX의 기여도가 절대적으로 중요하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, the concentrations of major odorous compounds including reduced sulfur compounds (OMS, CS$_2$, and DMDS) and aromatic VOC (benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.) were measured continuously using an on-line GC analytical system. Our measurements were made from a residential area of Ansan sity during about two week period of October, 2004. The highest mean concentrations of Sand VOC were found as 56.9 pbb of DMS and 21.7 ppb of toluene, respectively. The results of this study generally show that the pollution levels for both types of chemicals are significant relative to previous measurement results reported from comparable sites, if the results are compared simply in terms of the magnitude of the measured concentration data. Moreover, when the relative importance of different compounds is compared in terms of the odor strength, it indicated that the contribution of reduced S compounds may be much more important than that of VOC in the study area.

Species, doses and routes extrapolation can be sucessfully carried out by using a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) approach. And PBPK approach to assess risk of hazardous chemicals is reasonable whatever the exposure scenarios are happened. Both partitioning coefficients of chemical between tissue and blood and enzymatic metabolic rate constants are key parameters to build up the PBPK model. In this study, we tried to estimate in vitro metabolic rate constants using a special apparatus instead to measure the in vivo constants which are used to PBPK simulation since the in vitro tests are less expensive and more convenient than in vivo tests. For the purpose, we designed and tested the new system to measure continuously the headspace concentration of VOC. The newly designed system is composed with a diffusion chamber which generates gaseous substrate, a reaction vessel with a recirculating pump to establish a closed system, an autbmatic sampler from a gas phase, a gas chromatography to analyze the headspace. In addition, a cold water condenser is attached between the reaction vessel and pump to reduce the content of gaseous moisture which interferes with chemical analysis. To validate the newly developed methodology, in vitro metabolic rate constants of trichloroethylene (TCE) as a prototype VOC were estimated by simulating observed results with an ACSL program. The simulated results are consistent to those estimated by the other research groups. This finding suggests that our newly designed closed system may be a useful apparatus to estimate in vitro metabolic rate constants for VOC.

Present study evaluated the low-temperature destruction of n-hexane and benzene using mesh-type transition-metal platinum(Pt)/stainless steel(SS) catalyst. The parameters tested for the evaluation of catalytic destruction efficiencies of the two volatile organic compounds(VOC) included input concentration, reaction time, reaction temperature, and surface area of catalyst. It was found that the input concentration affected the destruction efficiencies of n-hexane and benzene, but that this input-concentration effect depended upon VOC type. The destruction efficiencies increased as the reaction time increased, but they were similar between two reaction times for benzene(50 and 60 sec), thereby suggesting that high temperatures are not always proper for thermal destruction of VOCs, when considering the destruction efficiency and operation costs of thermal catalytic system together. Similar to the effects of the input concentration on destruction efficiency of VOCs, the reaction temperature influenced the destruction efficiencies of n-hexane and benzene, but this temperature effect depended upon VOC type. As expected, the destruction efficiencies of n-hexane increased as the surface area of catalyst, but for benzene, the increase rate was not significant, thereby suggesting that similar to the effects of the re- action temperature on destruction efficiency of VOCs, high catalyst surface areas are not always proper for economical thermal destruction of VOCs. Depending upon the inlet concentrations and reaction temperatures, almost 100% of both n-hexane and benzene could be destructed, The current results also suggested that when applying the mesh type transition Metal Pt/SS catalyst for the better catalytic pyrolysis of VOC, VOC type should be considered, along with reaction temperature, surface area of catalyst, reaction time and input concentration.

본 연구에서는 $\gamma-Al_2O_3$에 전이금속들을 함침시킨 촉매를 고정층 반응기에 충전시킨후 휘발성유기물질(VOCs)인 밴젠을 일정농도로 공급하면서 촉매산화 특성을 살펴보았다. 전이금속으로는 구리, 니켈, 망간, 철등을 포함해 8가지 금속을 선정하였고, 실험조건은 반응온도 $200\sim500^{\circ}C$, 벤젠의 농도 $1,000\sim3,000$ ppm, 공간속도 $5,000\sim60,000\;hr^{-1}$의 범위로 적용하였다. BET분석, 전자주사현미경(SEM), XRD분석을 통해 제조된 촉매의 물성을 조사하였으며, VOC 촉매산화반응의 전환율에 대하여 고찰하였다. 실험결과, VOC농도와 공간속도가 낮을수록 VOC산화반응의 전환율은 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 여러 전이금속촉매들 중에 Cu촉매가 벤젠에 대해 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었고, 소성온도 $500^{\circ}C$조건에서 전이금속의 함침율이 15 wt%일 경우 가장 높은 전환율을 나타내었다.
