A study on the pollutant reduction using catalyst in model furnace

모형소각로의 촉매에 의한 배기가스 정화특성에 관한 연구

In proportion to the increase of industrial development, emission troubles were concerned as global issue. For these reasons, so many researchers and associated institutes effort to reduce pollution with new technology and various devices. As a kind of these methods, we used catalysts as a after-treatment system. At first, we made equipment of model furnace. And various catalysts were equipped at exhaust duct of combustion system, and excess air ratio( ), change cell numbers, catalyst materials(Pt, Pd) were changed as experimental conditions. With these various condition, temperature, NOx, CO, HC, $CO_2$ and $O_2$ concentration were measured. As a result, NOx conversion were increased with increasing of cell number in Pd catalyst. And Pt catalyst were became 100% conversion at 200 and 300 cell. Also, Pt catalyst was better than Pd catalyst ${\alpha}$=1.5 in this condition. In addition, CO and HC concentrations were decreased${\alpha}$=1.5 with Pd catalyst.
