拜香燃煙是台灣多?國人時常接觸的重要室內空氣污染物，由於目前拜香風俗盛?且難以有效管制，故如何降低燃燒拜香產生危害健康的物質則顯得相當重要。而農業廢棄菱角殼有生物難分解之特性，隨意丟棄或露天焚燒將造成異味及空氣品質下降問題。本研究使用台南官田區炭化後之農業廢棄物菱角殼，添加於拜香製程中進行低污染拜香之研發。研究結果顯示，添加30%菱角殼炭於不同粒徑拜香香粉中，將使燃燒後懸浮微粒排放量降低為24.9-25.9 mg/incense，約減量33-50%；懸浮微粒排放速率於降低為0.46-0.52 mg/min，減量約19-36%。而添加中粒徑菱角殼炭將使拜香燃燒產生之懸浮微粒最低，推測可能原因為中粒徑拜香香粉粒徑適中，相對於粗粒徑其粉顆粒間隙更加緊密熱量傳遞較完整，且相對於細粒徑其空氣較容易進入，導致拜香燃燒較為完全所致。本研究證實添加廢棄菱角殼炭有使拜香燃煙空氣污染物排放量降低之效果，並可達到廢棄菱角殼回收資源化效用，對於環境衛生及廢棄物資源化等環保議題具有深遠正面的意義。 When it comes to our indoor air pollution, the biggest hazard posed by religion is that religious people really like burning incense. Due to religious believers in Taiwan seem to like using fire to celebrate traditions and it's hard to effectively control. It is the important matter to reduce the hazardous material from incense. Agricultural waste management is an important part of the environmental protection control. As for water caltrop shell, it's difficult to biodegrade, so the farmers usually drop them with arbitrarily discarded or open burning them directly. Arbitrarily discarded water caltrop shell there will be odor problems. Water chestnut shell open burning in will produce air pollutants to reduce air quality. GuanTian District Office successfully developed a convenient and energy free canonization furnace for water caltrop shell, like a kind of bio-charcoal. Carbonized water caltrop shell with a large surface effect and high heat value characteristic. The research relates to a method of burning the incense, which added carbonized water caltrop shell with combustion chamber and then analysis aerosols. The results showed added 30% carbonized water caltrop shell in different particle sizes incense powder, it could reduce the emission amount of suspended particles effectively about 50%, and in every minute reduce the emission concentration of suspended particles about 39%. The findings of this study determined the method and amount of additive, and confirms the effect of added carbonized water caltrop shell to reduce the emission of air pollutants from the incense smoke, besides that, the utility of resources has far-reaching and positive significance of environmental protection issues such as environmental sanitation and waste resource recycling.
