가연성 혼합물의 최소자연발화온도 거동(MAITB, Minimum Autoignition Temperature Behavior)은 어떤 조성에서 두개의 순수물질 가운데 낮은 물질의 AIT보다 낮은 AIT를 갖는 현상을 말하며, 이는 위험물을 취급하는 공정에서 매우 관심있는 분야이다. 본 연구는 ASTM E659-78(Standard Test Method for Autoignition Temperature of Liquid Chemical)을 이용하여 toluene과 iso-propanol(IPA) 및 p-xylene과 n-butanol혼합물의 최소자연발화온도를 측정하였다. Toluene, IPA, p-xylene 그리고 n-butanol의 자연발화 온도는 각각 $547^{\circ}C,\;463^{\circ}C,\;557^{\circ}C,\;340^{\circ}C$였다. Toluene과 iso-propanol(IPA) 계의 경우는 3 : 7(Toluene :IPA) 비율의 혼합물 일 때는 IPA순수물질($464^{\circ}C$)보다 자연발화온도가 약 $3^{\circ}C$ 낮은 혼합물의 최소자연발화온도거동 MAITB(Minimum Autoignition Temperature Behavior)을 보였다.

o-, m- 및 p-크실렌계와 요오드사이에 형성되는 전하이동착물을 사염화탄소용액에서 자외선분광광도법을 사용하여 연구한 결과$ C_6H_4(CH_3)_2{\cdot}I_2 $형의 1:1 분자착물이 형성됨을 알았다. 이들 착물생성에 대한 흡수최대는 온도가 상승함에 따라 blue shift되므로 이를 고려하여 각 온도에서의 평형정수를 구했다. 이 값으로부터 이들 착물생성에 대한 $ {\Delta}$H, $ {\Delta}$G 및 $ {\Delta}$S의 열역학적 파라미터를 산출하였다. 이 결과와 전 연구결과를 종합하면 폴리메틸벤젠과 요오드와의 착물의 상대적 안정도가 다음 순서로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. Benzene < Toluene < o-Xylene < m-Xylene < p-Xylene 이 결과는 positive inductive effect에 의한 전자밀도증가와 steric hindrance effect에 의한 영향때문인 것으로 설명할 수 있다.

Benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and m-, p-, and o-xylene, the most influential aromatic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), were measured in Bangkok, Thailand, one of the most rapidly developing urban areas in Southern East Asia. The purpose of this study is to characterize the ambient air quality with respect to above mentioned aromatic compounds. The data were monitored in ten sites which cover roadside area, residential area and background area. Canister technique was used to obtain air sample at 24 hour interval per a month during April-August in 2007. GC/MS with three stage preconcentrator was used to analyze these samples. The average concentrations of benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene m-, p-xylene and o-xylene are 5.8, 36.1, 4.1, 11.0 and $3.7{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively. They were observed to be distributed in a log-normal form. Moreover, o-xylene and m, p-xylene exhibited a very good correlation (r=0.976). The slope of the regression equation between them was 3.07 which consisted with a previous reported value. The average ratio of toluene to benzene was 6.4 in April, May June and August. This value was comparable to the ones measured in other Asian cities. Two types of statistical analyses, cluster and factor analyses, were applied to the data in this study. Well characterization was made to understand the air quality of Bangkok area.

본 연구에서는 지하수 내의 BTEX 제거를 위한 흡착제로서 다양한 관능기화 메조포러스 실리카를 검토하였다. BTEX 물질로는 파라자일렌이 사용되었다. 관능기화 메조포러스 실리카는 공중합을 통해 MCM-41 기반 구조에 모노아민, 트리아민, 니트릴, 페닐, 옥틸기를 부착하여 합성되었다. 관능기화 메조포러스 실리카에서 파라자일렌 흡착 부위로 작용하는 부위는 Si-O-Si 결합, 계면활성제, 관능기인 것으로 사료된다. 관능기화 메조포러스 실리카의 자일렌 흡착능을 비교한 결과, 옥틸기를 부착한 경우에 MCM-41에 비해 자일렌 흡착능이 향상되었으며, 계면활성제로는 stearyltrimethylammonium chloride(STMACl)가 cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTMABr)에 비해 우수하였다. MCM-41을 기본 구조로, 옥틸기를 관능기로, STMACl을 계면활성제로 사용한 메조포러스 실리카는 $20^{\circ}C$에서 Langmuir model 상에서 최대 4.17 mmol/g의 최대 흡착량을 가질 것으로 평가되었으며, 이는 MCM-41에 비해 약 2.9배 높은 수치였다.

The effects of different transient loading conditions on xylene removability and bacterial activity were evaluated in the polyurethane (PU) biofilter inoculated with Rhodococcus sp. EH831: BF1 (the control) was operated under continuous and constant loading ($200{\pm}50ppm$); BF2 under continuous and constant loading after a 2-week long-term shutdown; BF3 under discontinuous (8 h on/16 h off on weekdays and a 2 day-shutdown at weekends); and constant loading BF4 under discontinuous and high loading ($700{\pm}300ppm$); and BF5 under continuous and fluctuating loading (high loading for 8 h and low loading ($75{\pm}25ppm$) for 16 h on weekdays and low loading at weekends). Xylene removal efficiencies in the BF1, BF2, BF3, and BF5 were ranged 83-89%, indicating that 2-week long-term shutdown, intermittent or fluctuant loading condition did not significantly influence the biofilter performance. However, discontinuous and high load condition (BF4) caused to deteriorate xylene removability to 52%. Rhodococcus sp. EH831 could be maintained at $10^9{\sim}10^{10}CFU/g-dry$ PU under 5 kinds of loading conditions. The result of polymerase chain reaction-terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism showed that there was no significant change in bacterial community structures by different loading conditions.

Objectives: This study evaluated the efficacy of Endosolv-R and Xylene in softening epoxy resin based sealer after 1 to 2 min exposure. Materials and Methods: Sixty Teflon molds ($6mm{\times}1.5mm$ in inner diameter and depth) were equally divided into 3 groups of 20 each. AH 26 (Dentsply/De Trey), AH Plus (Dentsply/De Trey), Adseal (Meta-Biomed) were manipulated and placed in the molds allotted to each group and allowed to set at $37^{\circ}C$ in 100% humidity for 2 wk. Each group was further divided into 2 subgroups according to the solvents used, i.e. Xylene (Lobachemie) and Endosolv-R (Septodont). Specimens in each subgroup were exposed to respective solvents for 1 and 2 min and the corresponding Vicker's microhardness (HV) was assessed. Data was analysed by Mauchly's test and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures, and one-way ANOVA. Results: Initial hardness was significantly different among the three sealers with AH Plus having the greatest and Adseal having the least. After 2 min, Xylene softened AH Plus and Adseal sealer to 11% and 25% of their initial microhardness, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas AH 26 was least affected, maintaining 89.4% of its initial microhardness. After 2 min, Endosolv-R softened AH 26, AH Plus and Adseal to 12.7, 5.6 and 8.1% of their initial microhardness, respectively (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Endosolv-R was a significantly more effective short term softener for all the tested sealers after 2 min whereas Xylene was an effective short term softener against AH plus and Adseal but less effective against AH 26.

This study was conducted to assess the health risk on the volatile organic compounds such as toluene, xylene, and styrene in painting workplace. It was monitored through personal air sampling during working time in selected 5 workplaces and analysed using gas chromatography. For the settlement of exposure situation, there were regarded working conditions such as working hours, yearly working days, and working years. Also, Monte-Carlo simulation was used for the induction of hazard index using toxicity value from IRIS(Integrated risk information system) database. The results of risk assessment were summarized as follows. 1. The air concentration of toluene was $7.096{\pm}15,644ppm,\;2.586{\pm}4.275ppm\;for\;xylene,\;1.914{\pm}5.320ppm$ for styrene in blast painting workplaces. The level of toluene was different significantly compared with the level of xylene and styrene. 2. Computated chronic daily intake values of 95th percentile on toluene, xylene and styrene treated by Monte-Carlo simulation were 9.616, 3.567, 2.782 mg/kg/day, respectively. 3. Computated hazard index values of 75th percentile on toluene, xylene and styrene treated by Monte-Carlo simulation were 3.5, 1.0 and 1.6, respectively. Adverse health effects on the toluene, xylene and styrene would be expected by working exposure in selected 5 workplaces since the hazard indices of three compounds were exceeded 1 in the surroundings of 75th percentile though having the low emerged frequency.

Pure ZnFe₂O₄ and Fe₂O₃-ZnFe₂O₄ hetero-composite spheres were prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis of a solution containing Zn- and Fe-nitrates. Additionally, the sensing characteristics of these spheres in the presence of 5 ppm ethanol, benzene, p-xylene, toluene, and CO (within the temperature range of 275-350 ℃) were investigated. The Fe₂O₃-ZnFe₂O₄ hetero-composite sensor with a cation ratio of [Zn]:[Fe]=1:3 exhibited a high response (resistance ratio = 140.2) and selectivity (response to p-xylene/response to ethanol = 3.4) to 5 ppm p-xylene at 300 ℃, whereas the pure ZnFe₂O₄ sensor showed a comparatively lower gas response and selectivity. The reasons for the superior response and selectivity to p-xylene in Fe₂O₃-ZnFe₂O₄ hetero-composite sensor were discussed in relation to the electronic sensitization due to charge transfer at Fe₂O₃-ZnFe₂O₄ interface and Fe₂O₃-induced catalytic promotion of gas sensing reaction. The sensor can be used to monitor harmful volatile organic compounds and indoor air pollutants.
