Abstract

Due to environmental pollution, hazards of the human body, and global warning, changes in the power train of automobiles are intensifying, and the market forelectronic vehicles is rising. Also, in order to meet the stricter emission regulations forautomobiles with internal combustion engines based on fossil fuel, the proportion of after-treatments for vehicles and vessels is increasing gradually. The objective of this study is to investigate the effectsfrom additive ceric oxide ($CeO_2$) loading amounts to improve the methane ($CH_4$) and nitric oxide (NOx) abatement ability of the natural gas oxidation catalysts(NGOC) reducing toxic gases emitted from compressed natural gas (CNG) buses. Three kinds of NGOC were prepared under the following conditions: fresh and $700^{\circ}C$ for 12hr thermal aging, and the reduction performance of toxic gases was evaluated. Fresh $1Pt-3Pd-1Rh-3MgO-6CeO_2/(Al+Z)$ NGOC containing 6wt% $CeO_2$ had the highest dispersivity of palladium (Pd) with high selectivity to $CH_4$ and improved harmful gas reduction performance. The NGOC with 6wt% $CeO_2$ loaded the least decreased in the dispersivity of the noble metal, and showed the highest reduction of harmful gases due to the thermal durability of $CeO_2$.

환경오염과 인체의 유해성 및 지구온난화로 인하여 자동차의 파워트레인의 변화가 심화되고 있으며 전기자동차의 시장점유율이 상승하고 있다. 또한, 화석연료를 기반으로 하는 내연기관 자동차의 엄격한 배기가스규제를 충족시키기 위해 자동차와 선박용 후처리장치의 비중이 점차로 증가하고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 CNG 버스에서 배출되는 유독성 가스를 저감하는 NGOC의 $CH_4$와 NOx 저감 능력 향상을 위하여 조촉매 $CeO_2$ 담지량에 영향을 파악하는 것이다. 3종의 천연가스산화촉매(NGOC)를 Fresh 조건과 $700^{\circ}C$ 12hr 열적 열화 조건으로 촉매를 제조한 후 유해가스 저감 성능을 평가하였다. $CeO_2$는 일반적으로 산화 환원반응성이 좋아 촉매활성에 좋다고 알려져 왔으며, 안정적인 물질인 $CH_4$와 NOx 저감 능력에 미치는 영향을 연구하는 것은 의의가 있다. 6wt% $CeO_2$가 담지된 Fresh $1Pt-3Pd-1Rh-3MgO-6CeO_2/(Al+Z)$ NGOC는 $CH_4$에 대한 선택도가 큰 Pd의 분산도가 제일 높았고 유해가스 저감 성능도 향상되었다. $700^{\circ}C$ 12hr 고온조건에서 내구성이 낮은 지지체 zeolite의 화합물 결정이 일부 파괴되면서 zeolite의 결정체인 $Al_2O_3$가 떨어져 나와 응집되었다. 6wt% $CeO_2$가 담지된 NGOC는 귀금속의 분산도 저하가 가장 작았고, $CeO_2$의 열적인 내구성으로 인하여 유해가스 저감 성능이 가장 높았다.
