| Abstract [eng] |
Volatile organic compounds are airborne gas phase pollutants that emit unpleasant odours and have negative impact on the quality of the environment and human health; therefore, it is necessary to control their emissions. Many of these compounds are reactive substances that can react with environmental oxidants to form new contaminants. Volatile organic compounds are most commonly emitted in various industries or human activity processes. The master's thesis presents a volatile organic compounds air purification system based on a multi-stage configuration, including ozonolysis, photolysis, agglomeration of aerosols, and precipitation of aerosols in electrostatic field. This sequence results volatile organic compounds removal by converting them from the gaseous state to aerosol particles. As the target pollutant, for the technology test, was chosen terpene rich compounds: α–pinene, β–pinene and α–terpineol. The initial concentration of this solution was 4,1±0.3 mg/m3. |
