Abstract

The $SO_2$ and $NO_x$ removal with an activated coke catalyst was conducted by a two-stage reaction which first $SO_2$ was oxidized to $H_2SO_4$ and then $NO_x$ was reduced to $N_2$. But if unreacted sulfur dioxide entered in the second stage, the $NO_x$ reduction was hindered by the reaction with ammonia. In this study, experimental investigations by using lab-scale column apparatus on the product and the reactivity of $SO_2$ with ammonia over coke catalyst which was activated with sulfuric acid was carried out through ultimate analysis DTA, TGA and SEM of catalyst before and after the reaction. Also, the effect of reaction emperature on the reactivity of $SO_2$ with ammonia was determined by means of breakthrough curves with time. The obtained results from this study were summarized as following; Activated cokes were decreased carbon component and increased oxygen and sulfur components in comparison with original cokes. The products over coke catalyst were faced fine crystal of $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, which results in the pressure loss of reacting system. The order of general reactivity in terms of the reaction temperature after breakthrough for $SO_2$ was found to be $150^{\circ}C$ > $200^{\circ}C$ > $100^{\circ}C$. This was related to adsorption amounts of ammonia on the activated cokes.

활성코우크스 촉매상에서 $SO_2$와 $NO_x$의 제거는 1단계에서 $SO_2$가 $H_2SO_4$로 산화되고 2단계에서 $NO_x$가 $N_2$로 환원되는 2단계 반응으로 이루워진다. 2단계 영역에 미반응 $SO_2$가 유입되면 암모니아와로 반응하여 $NO_x$환원이 저하된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결기 위하여 본 연구에서는 황산으로 활성화된 코우크스 촉매상에서 $SO_2$와 $NH_3$와의 촉매반응에 의하여 생성된 물질의 규명과 반응성을 검토하고자 실험실 규모의 반응관을 이용하여 실험을 수행하고 반응전후 촉매의 원소분석, DTA, TGA, SEM를 조사 분석하였다. 반응온도에 따른 반응성을 검토하기 위해 $SO_2$의 반응속도와 반응속도의 경시변화에 따른 파과곡선 등을 측정하였다. 실험으로부터 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다; 황산으로 활성화된 코우크스는 탄소성분은 감소하고 산소와 황성분(O+S)은 증가하였다. 활성 코우크스 촉매상에 형성되는 반응생성물은 황산암모늄($(NH_4)_2SO_4$)으로 반응관에 축적되어 압력손실을 일으켰다. 반응온도에 따른 전체적인 반응성의 크기는 $150^{\circ}C$ > $200^{\circ}C$ > $100^{\circ}C$의 순서이었다. 이는 활성코우크스에 흡착된 암모니아 흡착량과 상관성을 가지고 있었다.
