Abstract

$N_2O$ decomposition characteristics of dual bed mixed metal oxide catalytic system was investigated. The partial oxidation of methane at first reactor of dual bed catalytic system was performed over Co-Rh-Al (1/0.2/1) catalyst under the optimized condition of $8,000h^{-1}$ GHSV, gas ratio ($CH_4:O_2=5:1$) at $500^{\circ}C$. In the dual bed system investigated herein, the second catalyst bed was employed for the $N_2O$ decomposition using product of partial oxidation of methane at first bed. An excellent $N_2O$ conversion activity even at lower temperature ($<250^{\circ}C$) was obtained with Co-Rh-Al (1/0.2/1) or Co-Rh-Zr-Al (1/0.2/0.3/1) catalyst by combining Co-Rh-Al (1/0.2/1) hydrotalcite catalyst for the partial oxidation of methane in a dual-bed system. The $N_2O$ conversion activity is drastically reduced in the presence of oxygen in second bed of a dual-bed system over Co-Rh-Al (1/0.2/1) catalyst at $300^{\circ}C$.

Methane의 부분산화에 의하여 일산화탄소를 발생시키고 이를 이용하여 온실가스로 알려져 있는 $N_2O$를 분해시키기 위한 이중 촉매 반응시스템의 반응 특성을 살펴보았다. 일산화탄소를 발생시키기 위한 제1 반응기의 조건은 Co-Rh-Al (1/0.2/1) 촉매를 사용할 때 $500^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 methane과 산소의 비율이 5:1이고 GHSV $8,000h^{-1}$ 일때 가장 적합하였다. 제1 반응기에서 methane을 부분산화시켜 얻은 혼합 가스를 사용하는 이중 반응시스템에서 제2 반응기에 촉매로 Co-Rh-Al(1/0.2/1)과 Co-Rh-Zr-Al(1/0.2/0.3/1)을 사용한 경우 Co-Rh-Al(1/0.2/1) 촉매를 사용한 single bed system 보다 $250^{\circ}C$ 이하의 저온에서 우수한 분해성능을 나타내었다. 두 경우 모두 $250^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 $N_2O$가 100% 분해되었다. 또한, 제2 반응기에서 $N_2O$ 분해성능은 NO의 존재 유무에 관계없이 산소의 농도가 증가할수록 감소함을 보여주었다. 다만 NO가 존재할 경우 산소의 농도가 10,000 ppm 이하일 때 100% 분해율을 보이며 그 이상일 경우 급격히 감소하였다.
