Abstract

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been recognized as major contributor to air pollution. The catalytic oxidationis is one of the most important processes for VOCs destruction due to the possibility getting high efficiency at low temperature. In this study, monometallic Pt, Ir and bimetallic Pt-Ir were supported to $TiO_2$. In order to distribute metals uniformly, $H_2O-H_2$ treatment method was used. Xylene, toluene and MEK were used as reactants. The monometallic or bimetallic catalysts were prepared by the excess wetness impregnation method and characterized by XRD, XPS, and TEM analysis. Pt catalyst showed higher conversion than Ir catalyst and Pt-Ir bimetallic catalyst showed the highest conversion. The catalysts prepared by $H_2O-H_2$ treatment had better VOC's conversion than that of nothing treatment. In the VOCs oxidation, Pt-Ir bimetallic catalysts had multipoint active sites, so it improved the range of Pt metal state. Therefore, bimetallic catalysts showed higher conversion of VOCs than monometallic ones. $H_2O-H_2$ treatment effected an uniform distribution of Pt particles. In VOCs oxidation was found to follow first order reaetion kinetics. The activation energy of $H_2O-H_2$ treatment catalysts was lower than that of untreated ones. In this study, the a small amount of Ir was used with Pt to promote the oxidation conversion of VOCs.

VOC는 대기오염의 주원인으로서 인식되어왔다. 촉매산화는 저온에서 높은 효율을 나타내기 때문에 VOCs 제거를 위한 가장 중요한 처리기술중 하나이다. 이 연구에서는 $TiO_2$ 담체에 Pt, Ir 그리고 Pt-Ir을 담시지켜 촉매를 제조하였다. 금속 분산에 따르면 $H_2O-H_2$ 처리방법이 사용되었고, 반응물로서 Xylene,Toluene 그리고 MEK을 사용하였다. 단일 또는 두 가지 이상의 촉매들은 함침법에 의해 준비하였고, XRD, XPS, TEM 분석을 통하여 특성화하였다. 그 결과 Pt 촉매는 Ir 촉매에 비해 더 높은 전환율을 나타내었고, Pt-Ir 촉매는 가장 높은 전환율을 나타내었다. $H_2O-H_2$ 처리한 촉매들은 처리하지 않은 것보다 VOCs 전환율이 높았다. VOCs 산화에서, Pt-Ir 촉매는 다양한 활성점을 나타내었고 그것은 Pt의 metal 영역을 강화시켰다. 따라서 두 가지 금속으로 이루어진 촉매가 단일 금속으로 이루어진 촉매에 비해 VOCs 전환율이 더 높았다. $H_2O-H_2$ 처리가 Pt 입자의 분산에서 형태에 영향을 미쳤다. 동역학적으로 VOCs 산화는 1차 반응이다. $H_2O-H_2$ 처리한 촉매들의 활성화에너지가 처리하지 않은 것들보다 낮았다. 이 연구에서 Pt에 Ir을 소량첨가함으로써 VOCs 산화반응에 효과적이었다.
