Abstract

This study aims to present the practical Nitrogen monoxide (NO) removal capacity of cement mortar with Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) which is one of the paving materials by considering the environment of pavement in urban areas. NO removal capacity test under designated conditions of humidity of inflow gas and the test with variation of the degree of saturation of specimen were conducted. In the test for humidity, dry specimen is subject to the test and NO removal ratio was observed. Humidity-NO removal ratio curve is a log normal distribution in shape, and the maximum NO removal ratio appears at specific humidity. NO removal capacity test relying on the degree of saturation was carried out with wet specimen to reflect the unsaturated pavement by rainfall and domestic sewage. Wet specimen presents less NO removal capacity than dry specimen and the recovering evolution of NO removal capacity follows evaporation. Moreover, $TiO_2$ under the specific depth of specimen hardly contributes to NO removal capacity.

본 연구는 도심지의 도로 환경을 고려하여, 기능성 포장 재료 중 하나인 이산화티타늄($TiO_2$)을 포함한 시멘트 모르타르의 실질적인 일산화질소(NO) 제거 성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 실험은 크게 두 가지로, 유입되는 기체의 습도에 따른 NO 제거율 변화 실험과 시편의 포화도에 따른 NO 제거율 변화 실험으로 구성되었다. 습도 변화 실험에서는 건조 상태의 시편을 대상으로 유입 기체의 습도를 변화시키며 NO 제거율을 관찰하였다. 습도-NO 제거율 곡선은 로그 정규 분포 형상으로, 특정 습도에서 최대 NO 제거율이 나타났다. 포화도 변화 실험은 강우 및 생활 하수로 인하여 불포화 상태인 도로를 반영하고자 습윤 상태인 시편을 대상으로 하였다. 습윤 상태의 시편은 건조 상태보다 낮은 NO 제거 성능을 보였으며 증발이 진행되면서 $TiO_2$가 노출되어 NO 제거 성능이 증가하였다. 그리고 시편의 특정 깊이 아래에 존재하는 $TiO_2$는 NO 제거 성능에 크게 기여하지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
