Abstract

Activated carbon SCR(CSCR) catalyst that is used to remove $NO_x$ in exhaust gas including boron discharged from the production process of liquid crystal display(LCD) shows deactivation when boron is deposited to block the pores within the catalyst or to cover its active sites. The spent carbon catalyst is regenerated by washing with various surfactants, drying and calcination. For comparison of the physical and chemical properties before and after the regeneration with the variables, type of surfactants and calcination condition, element analysis by ICP, $N_{2}$ adsorption were conducted. $DeNO_{x}$ in SCR with $NH_3$ was carried out in a fixed bed reactor at $120^{\circ}C$. The activated carbon catalyst regenerated through washing with a non-ionic surfactant in $H_{2}O$ at $90^{\circ}C$ and calcination under $N_{2}$ gas at $550^{\circ}C$ shows similar level of surface area and $NO_x$ removal efficiency with those of fresh catalyst.

선택적환원 반응용 활성탄 촉매는 액정디스플레이 제조 공정에서 배출되는 붕소를 포함하는 배가스 중의 $NO_x$를 제거하는데 사용되는데, 붕소가 촉매의 세공을 막거나 활성점에 침적되어 촉매 비활성화가 발생하게 된다. 폐촉매는 다양한 계면활성제를 포함하는 수용액 중에서의 세정, 건조 및 소성에 의해 재생이 가능하였다. 세정 과정의 조건, 계면 활성제 종류, 소성 조건 등을 변화시키면서 재생 전과 후의 폐촉매의 물리화학적 성능 비교를 위하여 질소 흡착 실험, ICP에 의한 원소 분석을 수행하였다. 암모니아를 사용하는 선택적환원 반응은 고정층 촉매 반응기를 사용하여 $120^{\circ}C$에서 수행하였다. $90^{\circ}C$의 수용액에서 비이온 계면활성제를 사용하여 세정하고, 질소 분위기에서 $550^{\circ}C$에서 소성하여 재생한 활성탄 촉매는 붕소가 가장 많이 제거되어 신규 활성탄과 유사한 수준의 표면적과 $NO_x$ 제거 효율을 회복하였다.
