탈알루미늄 및 알칼리/알칼리토금속 양이온을 교환한 Y형 제올라이트의 NO흡착 특성

Adsorption Characteristics of Nitrogen monoxide over Dealuminated and Alkali/Alkaline-earth Metal ion Exchanged Y-Zeolites

탈알루미늄 및 알칼리/알칼리토금속 양이온을 교환한 Y형 제올라이트 촉매를 제조하였다. 제조한 촉매물질의 원소조성 및 구조 변화를 ICP-AES, XRF 및 XRD와 같은 각종 분광학적 방법으로 분석하였으며, NO-TPD 실험을 통한 표면흡착종의 탈착 거동을 조사하였다. 탈알루미늄 처리 후 출발물질인 NaY보다 촉매물질의 Si/Al비는 증가하였으며, 탈알루미늄 후 Cs및 Ba양이온으로 교환한 Y형 제올라이트의 경우 Si/Al비가 부가적으로 조금 더 감소하였다. 탈알루미늄 처리한 촉매는 Al원자의 탈리로 기본골격의 파괴가 심화되어 framework (tetrahedral)구조가 감소하고 non-framework (octahedral) 구조가 증가하였다. 이러한 현상은 스팀처리시간이 많아질수록 증가하였으며 양이온을 교환한 후에는 더 크게 나타났다. NO-TPD 실험에서 탈알루미늄 및 양이온 교환 후 촉매의 활성점을 나타내는 탈착 봉우리들은 저온으로 이동하였으며, 스팀처리시간이 많아질수록 탈착 봉우리가 상대적으로 저온에서 나타났다. 탈알루미늄 및 양이온 교환을 한 Y형 제올라이트는 교환된 양이온과 탈알루미늄으로 인한 non-framework (octahedral) 구조의 생성이 촉매의 활성에 미치는 영향이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.

The dealuminated and alkali/alkaline-earth metal exchanged Y-zeolites were prepared as a catalyst. Elemental compositions and structures of the prepared catalysts were analyzed by the various spectroscopic techniques such as inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy(ICP-AES), X-ray fluorescence(XRF) and X-ray diffraction(XRD), and the desorption behaviors of adsorbed species on the catalyst surfaces were investigated via NO-TPD experiment. Comparing with the composition of the starting material of NaY zeolite, the magnitudes of Si/Al ratio in catalytic materials were increased after dealumination. The Si/Al ratio of catalytic materials after dealumination followed by Cs and Ba cation exchange were additionally decreased. Dealumination to catalysts induced a destruction of basic frame due to a detachment of aluminum, which results in reducing framework structure, while increasing non-framework structure. This phenomenon becomes more serious with increasing time of steam treatment and even more significant for the cation exchanged catalysts. In NO-TPD experiments, the desorption peaks of NO which indicates an activity point of catalysts shifted to the low temperature region after dealumination and cation exchange. The desorption peaks of the NO-TPD profiles taken after steam treatment also shifted to the low temperature region as the steam treatment time increased. In dealuminated and cation exchanged Y-zeolites, the catalytic activities were more influenced by exchanged cation and the formation of non-framework structure.
