直接甲醇燃料電池 (Direct Methanol Fuel Cell, DMFC) 之碳材組件,常含有或吸附有機污染物,如多環芳香烴 (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, PAHs),可能於電池運作時,隨尾氣排放,影響空氣品質。因此,本研究主要探討操作參數對直接甲醇燃料電池排放PAHs之影響。 研究結果顯示在各試驗操作條件組合中,以陽極甲醇流量2 mL/min、陰極氧氣流量150 mL/min及電池溫度80℃操作下,有最高陰極氣相總PAHs及毒性當量 (BaPeq) 排放濃度 (分別為21±5 μg/m3及338±185 ng/m3)。電池操作溫度60℃時,則有較高陽極水相總PAHs及毒性當量排放濃度 (分別為182±37 μg/L及2203±277 ng/L) 與陰極水相總PAHs及毒性當量排放濃度 (分別為159±19 μg/L及1486±109 ng/L)。所測試之兩種商業化膜電極組,E-TEK排放較高之氣及液相總PAHs,但HE之毒性當量排放濃度較高。電池在80℃操作下較60℃者有較佳效能。
The carbon materials/components used in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) usually contain/adsorb polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that may desorb and be emitted from DMFC off-gases during operation to influence air quality. Therefore, this study investigated effect of operational parameters on the emission of PAHs from a single DMFC. Among tested condition combinations, the cathode gas-phase Total-PAHs and toxicity equivalent (BaPeq) emission concentrations were the highest (21±5 μg/m3 and 338±185 ng/m3, respectively) at anode methanol flowrate of 2 mL/min, cathode oxygen flowrate of 150 mL/min, and cell temperature of 80 °C. Greater than those at 80 °C, the anode liquid-phase Total-PAHs and BaPeq were 182±37 μg/L and 2203±277 ng/L, respectively, while the cathode liquid-phase Total-PAHs and BaPeq were 159±19 μg/L and 1486±109 ng/L, respectively, at 60 °C. Two brands of commercial membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) were tested for comparison. The E-TEK MEAs exhibited greater gas- and liquid-phase Total-PAHs than the HE ones whereas a reverse trend was observed for their Total-BaPeq emission. The cell had a better performance at 80 °C than at 60 °C.
