Abstract

The building materials used for improving indoor air quality, the wood charcoal mixed with cement mortar or natural water paint were examined for their potential removing ability of formaldehyde. After the reaction of samples with formaldehyde in the glass flasks designed in our lab, the remaining formaldehyde was collected using DNPH (2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine) cartridges, and their concentration was determined using HPLC. From the results, it was found that the removing amount of formaldehyde per one gram sample containing 5, 10, or 15% of wood charcoal was more than three times compared to that of control (100% cement mortar or water paint). Their elimination percentages from the initial formaldehyde was about 80~90%. The experimental results for wood charcoal-water paint showed a similar trend with those of wood charcoal-cement mortar samples. Their elimination percentages from the initial formaldehyde was about 90%. It is proposed that formaldehyde is adsorbed on the adsorbed 'O' or 'OH' groups in the graphene layers formed through the re-arrangement of lignocellulose in the wood during the carbonization procedure.

실내 공기질 향상을 목적으로 사용되는, 목탄과 모르타르 또는 천연 페인트가 혼합된 건축재료에 대한 포름알데히드 제거효과를 분석하기 위하여, 포름알데히드를 소정의 농도로 조절한 밀폐 용기에 이들 목탄계 건축자재를 넣고 일정시간 동안의 처리 과정을 거친 후 잔류 포름알데히드를 DNPH (2,4-Dinitrophenyl hydrazine) 카트리지를 통해 수집하고 HPLC 분석을 통해 잔류농도를 측정하여 목탄건축자재에 의한 포름알데히드 제거성능을 조사하였다. 목탄 및 목탄 바이오 모르타르의 포름알데히드 흡착 실험결과, 두 시료군 모두에서 목탄 5, 10, 15%를 함유한 시료의 단위중량 당 포름알데히드 제거량은 목탄을 함유하지 않은 시료에 비해 3배 이상 높았으며 포름알데히드 제거율은 약 80~90% 이상이었다. 수성 목탄 페인트의 포름알데히드 흡착 실험결과 또한 비슷하여, 목탄 15, 20, 25%를 함유한 시료의 단위중량 당 포름알데히드 제거량은 목탄을 함유하지 않은 시료에 비해 3배 가량 높았으며 포름알데히드 제거율은 90% 이상이었다. 포름알데히드는 목탄 제조 과정 중 목재의 리그노셀룰로스 성분의 구조변화로 인해 형성된 탄소 골격인 그라핀(Graphene)층 표면이나 가장자리에 형성된 흡착형 'O' 또는 'OH'관능기와 결합하여 흡착되는 것으로 판단된다.
