Abstract

A study on the in situ regeneration effect of commercial deactivated SCR catalyst which had been exposed to the off gas from the heavy oil fired power plant for a long time was carried out in a simulated in situ conditions by washing with distilled water and various acid solutions in a short time. The catalytic performance test of the regenerated SCR catalysts was carried out in the micro reactor with simulated off gas of the heavy oil fired power plant and all prepared catalysts were characterized by BET, Porosimeter, EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometer) and ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) to investigate correlations between catalytic activity and surface characteristics of them. The characterization results of the regenerated catalysts showed that the specific surface area was restored 95% more than that of fresh catalyst. Under this study, the activity of the regenerated catalysts with acid solution (3~6 M) without using ultrasonic wave in a simulated in situ conditions was restored 90% more than that of the fresh catalyst. It was found that improved activity of regenerated catalyst was caused by removing the deactivating materials from the surface of the deactivated SCR catalyst through acid washing.

상용 중유 발전소 배가스에 장기간 노출되어 활성이 현저히 저하된 탈질 SCR 폐촉매를 대상으로 현장 시스템을 모사하여 증류수 및 산성용액에 의한 세척과정을 거쳐 모사된 현장 조건으로 촉매를 재생하였다. 산성용액의 제조조건 및 처리조건에 따른 촉매의 물성변화를 확인하였고 질소산화물($NO_x$) 전환 촉매 활성 실험을 수행하여 촉매성능 변화를 고찰하였다. 촉매의 특성분석은 BET, Porosimeter, EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometer), ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) 등을 이용하여 수행하였고, $NO_x$ 전환 반응실험은 중유 발전소 배가스를 모사하여 마이크로 반응기에서 SCR 반응을 수행하였다. 촉매특성 분석결과 재생된 촉매의 경우 비표면적은 신품 촉매 대비 95% 이상 회복되었고, $NO_x$ 전환활성은 산성용액 농도 3~6 M 범위에서 신품 촉매 대비 90% 이상을 회복한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 촉매활성의 향상은 산성용액에 의한 촉매표면의 불순물들이 제거되면서 일어난 결과로 밝혀졌다.
