Yongkeun Choi from Department of Biological Engineering at Konkuk University’s College of Engineering recently identified that Korean native plant, ardisia crispa, can effectively remove fine dust in the indoor air for the first time.<br /><br /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><img width="473" height="313" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11835902" /><br />The research team adjusted the light source as well as water supply inside the plant biofilter system and applied hydrodynamic technology leading successful results in order to optimize the effect of removing fine dust. It was found that the external curvature and secretion production of the plant leaf changed when the light and water supply for plant growth were changed, and that the principle of adsorption and removal of fine dust on the leaf surface was confirmed. The team also revealed that 30-40% of the total amount of fine dust was removed by optimizing the condition with a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. More than 99% of indoor fine dust removal and industrialization technology using plant biofilter system was finally secured by applying biochar filter, a laboratory patented technology.<br /><br /><img width="636" height="343" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11835903" /><br /><span>The plant-based biofilter system developed through this research is highly efficient in that it is a closed type, not a conventional open-type wall greening method. The Korean native plant, ardisia crispa, is effective in removing fine dust as it is easy to manage even for beginners.<br /><br /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span>Prof. Kim said, “The research will ease technical access to the companies in the field and suggest a reasonable direction to build trust and satisfy users,” and, “We were able to remove fine dust and industrialize technology economically and efficiently by using this plant.”<br /><br /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span>The research was published in the Plants-Basel (Switzerland), the Q1 journal, and the latest issue of the Journal of the Korean Institute of Architectural Sustainable Environment and Building Systems supported by Korea Forest Service and Rural Development Administration.<span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
