The purpose of this study is to create a new odor analysis technology that combines the separation technology of GC and the measurement of MOS sensors. The detector of the GC system is replaced with the MOS sensor to analyze various odor compounds. Carrier gas also used air in the normal atmosphere through a micro pump. Therefore, it is possible to develop a portable odor analysis device since no additional cylinder is needed. Retention times for H2S, C7H8, and C2H4O analyzed by the combined GC/MOS system were identified as 1.28 minutes, 3.88 minutes and 1.77 minutes, respectively. Measurement reproducibility of odorous RT was very good at less than 1.2 %RSD. Also, the magnitude of the peak as a result of changes in the concentration of each odor showed a linear proportional relationship. Thus, a new method could be proposed to analyze various odorous substances with the combined GC/MOS system.

The purpose of this study is to produce an adsorbent material with biomass by-product that are readily visible in daily life. The biomass by-product used in the study are coffee grounds, oak leaves and chestnut peels. These biomass by-products were produced with dry, carbonization and activation treatments. The equipment for the evaluation of adsorption capacity was the batch type system to measure the concentration of test gases with the odor sensor device. Biomass by-products have been shown to improve the absorption characteristics of adsorbent through carbonization and activation. The adsorbent made with coffee grounds and chestnut peels had superior adsorption capacity to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and complex odor (H2S & NH3) in a comparison with regular activated carbon. The odor sensor device could be used to evaluate the device of adsorption capacity of the adsorbent.

Polymer electrolyte membranes consisting of a PVP/AgCF3SO3/Al(NO3)3 complex were prepared for the separation of a propylene/propane mixture. In this study, the effect of Al(NO3)3 on inhibiting the reduction of silver ions generated from AgCF3SO3 was investigated, where AgCF3SO3 was used as a cost-effective alternative to AgBF4 in the facilitated olefin transport membranes. When Al(NO3)3 was incorporated into a PVP/AgCF3SO3 complex membrane, the selectivity of propylene/propane and mixed gas permeance showed 5 and 0.5GPU, respectively. Moreover, the PVP/AgCF3SO3/Al(NO3)3 complex membranes showed long-term stability although AgCF3SO3 is easily reduced to silver nanoparticles. It was thus proved that Al(NO3)3 played the role of a retardant for the reduction of silver ions generated from AgCF3SO3 as well as from AgBF4.
