Abstract

Selective catalytic reduction of $NO_x$ by $NH_3$ ($NH_3$-SCR) over $V_2O_5/TiO_2$-based catalysts is recently reported to be an anthropogenic emitter of $N_2O$ that is a global warming gas with a global warming potential of 310. Therefore, this review will get a touch on significance of some parameters regarding $N_2O$ formation in the $deNO_xing$ reaction for fossil fuels-fired power plants applications. The $N_2O$ production in $NH_3$-SCR reaction with such catalysts occurs via side reactions between $NO_x$ and $NH_3$ in addition to $NH_3$ oxidation, and the extent of these undesired reactions depends strongly on the loadings of $V_2O_5$ as a primary active component and the promoter as a secondary one ($WO_3$ and $MoO_3$) in the SCR catalysts, the feed and operating variables such as reaction temperature, $NO_2/NO_x$ ratio, oxygen concentration, gas hourly space velocity, water content and thermal excursion, and the physical and chemical histories of the catalysts on site. Although all these parameters are associated with the $N_2O$ formation in $deNO_xing$ reaction, details of some of them have been discussed and a better way of suppressing the $N_2O$ production in commercial SCR plants has been proposed.

$V_2O_5/TiO_2$계 촉매상에서 $NH_3$에 의한 $NO_x$의 선택적환원은 310의 지구온난화지수를 갖는 $N_2O$의 또 다른 인위적인 배출원이 될 수 있는 것으로 보고되고 있으므로, 본 총설은 화석연료를 연소시키는 화력발전소용 상기 촉매상에서 SCR 탈질반응 동안에 $N_2O$ 생성과 관계되는 주요 변수들의 유의성을 다루고자 한다. $NH_3$-SCR 탈질반응에서 $N_2O$ 배출은 $NH_3$ 산화반응에 더하여 반응 중에 존재하는 $NO_x$와 $NH_3$ 간의 부반응을 통해 일어나 이 부반응들의 정도는 SCR 촉매의 활성성분인 $V_2O_5$의 함량과 조촉매의 종류($WO_3$와 $MoO_3$), 반응온도, $NO_2/NO_x$ 비율, 산소농도, 공간속도, 수분함량, 열처리 등과 같은 유입가스 조건과 운전변수 및 화력발전소 현장에 설치된 상용 SCR 탈질공정에서 격은 촉매의 이력에 크게 의존한다. 상기의 모든 변수들이 탈질반응에서 $N_2O$ 생성과 관계된다고 할지라도, 몇몇 핵심변수들이 $N_2O$ 생성에 미치는 영향과 상용 SCR 공정에서 $N_2O$ 생성을 억제할 수 있는 방안이 고찰되었다.
