Kenar bantlama işlemlerinde proses parametreleri ve malzeme türlerinin TVOC ve formaldehit emisyonları üzerindeki etkileri

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, kenar bantlama sürecinde oluşan toplam uçucu organik bileşikler (TVOC) ve formaldehit (HCHO) emisyonları üzerinde proses parametreleri (sıcaklık, mesafe, havalandırma), proses durumu (boşta çalışma ve aktif kenar bantlama) ve malzeme parametrelerinin (bant ve yapıştırıcı çeşidi) etkileri iki aşamalı deneysel tasarım yaklaşımı ile incelenmiştir. TVOC ve HCHO konsantrasyonları taşınabilir bir gaz dedektörü (PCE-VOC 1, PCE Instruments, Almanya) kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. İlk aşamada proses parametrelerinin, ikinci aşamada ise sabit proses koşulları altında malzeme parametrelerinin etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Veriler varyans analizi (ANOVA) ve Duncan çoklu karşılaştırma testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, sıcaklık, mesafe ve proses durumunun TVOC ve HCHO emisyonları üzerinde anlamlı etkileri olduğunu göstermiştir (p<0,05). En yüksek HCHO konsantrasyonu 205 °C’de 0,120 mg/m³ olarak belirlenmiş, ölçüm mesafesinin artmasıyla her iki emisyon türünde de azalma gözlenmiştir. Havalandırma TVOC emisyonlarını azaltırken HCHO üzerinde anlamlı bir etki göstermemiştir. Buna karşılık bant türü ve EVA esaslı yapıştırıcılar arasında anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır. Bulgular, emisyon oluşumunun esas olarak proses parametreleri tarafından kontrol edildiğini ortaya koymaktadır.

Effects of process parameters and material types on TVOC and formaldehyde emissions in edge banding operations

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of process parameters (temperature, distance, ventilation), process condition (idle and active edge banding) and material parameters (edge band and adhesive type) on total volatile organic compound (TVOC) and formaldehyde (HCHO) emissions generated during the edge banding process using a two-stage experimental design approach. TVOC and HCHO concentrations were measured using a portable gas detector (PCE-VOC1, PCE Instruments, Germany). In the first stage, the effects of process parameters were evaluated, while in the second stage, material parameters were assessed under fixed process conditions. The data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan’s multiple comparison test. The results showed that temperature, distance, and process condition significantly affected both TVOC and HCHO emissions (p<0.05). The highest HCHO concentration was determined as 0.120 mg/m³ at 205 °C, and increasing measurement distance resulted in lower emission levels for both pollutants. Ventilation significantly reduced TVOC emissions but had no significant effect on HCHO emissions. In contrast, no significant differences were observed between edge band types and EVA-based adhesives. The findings indicate that emission formation is primarily governed by process parameters.
