Abstract

This paper aims at estimating self-cleaning performance of mortar coated with photocatalytic suspension under various conditions. Experimental variables included the concentration (1.5 % and 3.0 %) of photocatalytic suspension for coating mortar specimen, the presence of hydrophilic agent in photocatalytic suspension, and applying the primer on the surface of mortar. The color change of methylene blue solution increased and accordingly self-cleaning performance increased as photocatalytic concentration increased. The presence of hydrophilic agent in photocatalytic suspension slightly decreased the self-cleaning performance compared to the conventional photocatalytic suspension. Test results also showed that mortar specimen including primer and specimen not including primer did not show significantly different self-cleaning performance. In addition, cracks on the surface of mortar specimens decreased as the photocatalytic concentration increased. Therefore, increase in cracks on the surface of mortar at different photocatalytic concentration might adversely affect the self-cleaning performance of mortar specimens.

본 연구에서는 시설물의 자기정화성능을 확보하기 위하여 이산화티탄 광촉매 용액을 코팅한 모르타르의 자기정화성능을 분석하였다. 광촉매 코팅 용액의 농도(1.5 %와 3.0 %), 초친수강화 용액 적용 유무 및 프라이머 용액의 사용 유무를 실험변수로 고려하였다. 광촉매 농도가 증가할수록 메틸렌블루 수용액의 색상 변화율이 증가하였으며, 이는 광촉매 농도가 증가할수록 자기정화성능이 증가하는 것을 나타낸다. 초친수성 광촉매 용액의 적용은 일반 광촉매 용액에 비해 자기정화성능을 다소 감소시킬 가능성이 있음을 나타낸다. 또한, 프라이머를 사용한 모르타르의 자기정화성능은 프라이머를 사용하지 않은 모르타르의 자기정화성능과 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내지 않는다. 한편, 낮은 농도(1.5 %)로 코팅된 모르타르에 비해 높은 농도(3.0 %)로 코팅된 모르타르 시편 표면의 코팅 균열이 미세하여 상대적으로 큰 광촉매 반응면적을 확보하고 자기정화성능 증가에 유리한 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다.
