  • Residents who live near petrochemical industrial areas are exposed to a variety of petrochemicals, including benzene or benzene-containing liquids. It is a serious concern because some VOCs are carcinogens naturally present in petroleum and gasoline. The aim of this study was to assess the exposure to VOCs, measured by personal/indoor/outdoor air sampling, and to estimate the relationship between the air samples and biological monitoring data. Through biological monitoring, we investigated VOCs in blood and s-phenylmercapturic acid (s-PMA) , minor urinary metabolites of benzene. The external benzene exposure of subjects was measured using passive dosimeters and urinary s-PMA and blood-benzene were determined by GC/MS. More than 80% of subjects were detected for m-xylene, ethylbenzene, and toluene in blood samples and not detected at all for chloroform, 1 , 1 , 1 -trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene. The mean concentration of benzene in the breathing zone of residents was 6.3 $\mu\textrm{g}$/m$^3$, personal, indoor and outdoor concentrations were strongly correlated to each other. s-PMA detected in all subject samples was affected by personal exposure (p< 0.05) and the level was different by age (p< 0.01). Blood benzene was not affected by external benzene during these periods .

  • A new-type apparatus decomposing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using a combination system of an electrical exothermic SiC honeycomb and a catalytic filter was developed. This linear combination system is very useful to the catalytic decomposition of VOCs, because the gas involving VOCs is well heated in the SiC honeycomb and then flows into the catalytic filter. In the proposed apparatus, the outlet gas temperatures of SiC honeycomb maintained at ca. $300^{\circ}C$ after 5 min from the starting of applying electric current, and sufficient for the catalytic degradation of VOC components, i.e. toluene, isopropanol, methyl ethyl ketone and ethyl acetate. The average decomposition rate of total VOCs exhausted from a printing factory was 85% using pt catalyst at SV=19,000 in this system.

  • VOC는 대기오염의 주원인으로서 인식되어왔다. 촉매산화는 저온에서 높은 효율을 나타내기 때문에 VOCs 제거를 위한 가장 중요한 처리기술중 하나이다. 이 연구에서는 $TiO_2$ 담체에 Pt, Ir 그리고 Pt-Ir을 담시지켜 촉매를 제조하였다. 금속 분산에 따르면 $H_2O-H_2$ 처리방법이 사용되었고, 반응물로서 Xylene,Toluene 그리고 MEK을 사용하였다. 단일 또는 두 가지 이상의 촉매들은 함침법에 의해 준비하였고, XRD, XPS, TEM 분석을 통하여 특성화하였다. 그 결과 Pt 촉매는 Ir 촉매에 비해 더 높은 전환율을 나타내었고, Pt-Ir 촉매는 가장 높은 전환율을 나타내었다. $H_2O-H_2$ 처리한 촉매들은 처리하지 않은 것보다 VOCs 전환율이 높았다. VOCs 산화에서, Pt-Ir 촉매는 다양한 활성점을 나타내었고 그것은 Pt의 metal 영역을 강화시켰다. 따라서 두 가지 금속으로 이루어진 촉매가 단일 금속으로 이루어진 촉매에 비해 VOCs 전환율이 더 높았다. $H_2O-H_2$ 처리가 Pt 입자의 분산에서 형태에 영향을 미쳤다. 동역학적으로 VOCs 산화는 1차 반응이다. $H_2O-H_2$ 처리한 촉매들의 활성화에너지가 처리하지 않은 것들보다 낮았다. 이 연구에서 Pt에 Ir을 소량첨가함으로써 VOCs 산화반응에 효과적이었다.
