Abstract

We carry out an experimental investigation to analyze the basic performance of NO(nitric oxide) storage in a lean phase and also analyze the NO reduction achieved by the spraying of reducing agents in the rich phase of the exhaust gas in an LNT(Lean NOx Trap). This is an after-treatment system used to reduce the NOx emissions from a diesel engine. If the stored NO is reduced, we measure the outlet concentration downstream of the LNT. The test LNT material used in the experiments is commercial LNT. After being canned into stainless-steel(SUS304), it was built in a micro bench-flow reactor. Compositions of feed gases, three heated and three no heated gases were sprayed upstream of the LNT to analyze the characteristics. We use various temperatures and space velocities as response variables.

본 연구에서는 디젤엔진에서 배출되는 질소산화물의 저감을 위한 후처리장치인 LNT(Lean NOx Trap, 흡장형 De-NOx 촉매)의 특성을 파악하였다. 먼저 희박한 배출가스 상태에서의 질소산화물 중 산화질소에 대한 촉매의 기본적인 흡장성능을 알아본 후, 다양한 환원제를 분사하여 인위적으로 배출가스를 농후한 상태를 만들었다. 농후한 상태에서는 희박한 상태에서 촉매 내에 흡장되어 있던 산화질소가 촉매의 환원반응에 의해서 질소로 전환된 후 촉매후단부에서 산화질소 배출농도를 측정하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 LNT(Lean NOx Trap)시편은 실제 디젤 차량에서 사용되는 LNT 촉매로부터 Reactor에 장착될 수 있도록 작은 사이즈로 절단 및 가공된 후, SUS304의 stainless 재질로 재가공 처리한 후에 Micro bench-flow reactor에 장착하였다. 분사된 피드가스성분들은 실제 배출가스의 분위기를 만들기 위해서 각각 3가지의 가열성분, 비가열 성분으로 나누어 분사된다. 이러한 조건들에서 다양한 반응온도와 공간속도를 반응변수로 하여 LNT(Lean NOx Trap)의 흡장성능과 환원제종류에 따른 산화질소의 배출특성을 파악하였다.
