Abstract

This study is to develop of an adsorbent for the removing of human body harmful benzene, toluene, and p-xylene as VOCs. Thus, this study researched the adsorption efficiency of the commercial ACF and the reactivated ACF by KOH/ACF to molar 1: 1. As the results, the effects have shown to enlarge with the increasing of VOCs concentration for adsorptive breakthrough time and breakthrough percentage on each substance. Also, the study have investigated as a similar tendency in case of desorption efficiency for toluene and p-xylene at constant concentration as 125PPM and 0.5$\ell$/min volume flow rate. But in case of benzene, it has been investigated to have rather lower desorption efficiency re-activation ACF than commercial ACF.

이 연구는 근로자 및 인체에 유해한 휘발성유기화합물질인 benzene, toluene, p-xylene을 흡착제거할 수 있는 흡착제를 개발하고자 하였다. 따라서 그 것을 위하여 기존 상업용 흡착효율을 높이고자 KOH/ACF(activated carbon fibers)를 몰비 1:1로 ACF를 재활성 시켜 기존 ACF와 재 활성 시킨 ACF와의 흡착효율을 비교 검토하고자 하였다. 그 결과 각 물질에 대한 흡착시간에 따른 흡착파과효율(%)는 농도가 클수록 커져 빠른 파과속도를 보였고 또한 농도를 125PPM으로 고정시키고 유량을 0.5$\ell$/min에서 탈착실험을 통한 흡착효과의 재현성은 toluene과 p-xylene의 경우 유사한 경향을 보였다. 그러나 benzene의 경우 재활성한 ACF가 재활성 되지 않은 상업용 ACF보다 오히려 탈착효과가 낮은 것으로 관찰되었다.
