Abstract

In this study, the factors affecting commercialization of $Pt/TiO_2$ catalyst, which can oxidize HCHO at room temperature, was investigated. In order to determine the optimum noble metal loading, the catalytic activity was evaluated by varying the Pt loadings; the best catalytic activity was achieved for 1 wt% of Pt. In addition, the catalyst prepared under the reduction condition showed an excellent HCHO oxidation conversion at room temperature. Based on these results, it was confirmed that the activity could be changed by oxidation state of active metal, and in case of Pt, metallic Pt ($Pt^0$) species was more active on HCHO oxidation at room temperature. As a result of evaluating an effect of space velocity to determine the optimum operating condition, it was found that in the lower space velocity, conversion rate of HCHO was increased due to increase of catalyst bed. Catalytic activity was greater in the presence of moisture than in its absence. Through above results, the key factors for commercialization of oxidation catalyst, which was operated at room temperature even without any additional energy source was confirmed.

본 연구에서는 포름알데히드를 상온산화시켜 제거하는 $Pt/TiO_2$ 촉매의 상용화 인자들이 조사되었다. 활성 귀금속 함량 최적화를 위해 촉매의 백금(Pt) 담지량을 변화시켜 제조 후 성능을 평가하였으며, 그 결과 1wt% 함량이 가장 이상적인 함량임을 확인하였다. 또한 활성금속인 Pt를 환원하여 제조한 환원 촉매가 상온에서 우수한 포름알데히드 산화 능력을 나타내었다. 이를 통해 활성금속의 산화가에 따라 성능이 변화될 수 있으며, 백금의 경우 metallic Pt($Pt^0$)로 존재할수록 포름알데히드 상온산화 성능이 증진될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 촉매의 운전인자를 도출하기 위한 공간속도 영향 평가 결과 공간속도가 낮을수록 촉매량 증가에 의해 포름알데히드 전환율이 증진되는 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 공기 내 반드시 존재하는 물질인 수분의 공기 내 공존 시 영향 평가를 실시하였으며, 그 결과 수분이 공존할 때 포름알데히드 산화반응이 수분이 존재하지 않은 조건에서의 활성보다 증진되었다. 상기 결과들을 통해 어떤 추가 에너지원 없이도 포름알데히드를 제거 할 수 있는 상온산화 촉매 상용화를 위한 핵심인자들을 확인하였다.
