Abstract

Catalytic filter has many advantages for the industrial application owing to its bi-functional ability to treat nitrogen oxides and particulate simultaneously. The technical feasibility of using the catalytic filter in the flue gas treatment process will be more promoted if the high porous ceramic sheet filter is utilized. However, it is not easy to prepare the effective catalytic filter using sheet filter as it has less room for catalyst support due to its thin layer. In this study, catalytic filter using a domestic ceramic sheet filter element has been prepared and conducted the experimental evaluation for NO reduction performance. The current sheet filter element shows the low catalytic activity less than 92% conversion for NO concentration 700 ppm at the face velocity $0.02m\;s^{-1}$. This unexpected low catalytic activity seems to be caused by the present of extraordinary large pores from the lack of uniformity in the pore size distribution of the sheet filter. The large pore size of the sheet filter is reduced by composing the smaller powder as its raw material, which presents improvement in NO conversion more than 96%. More improvement is observed showing 98% NO conversion which is applicable to a commercial plant when the catalyst coating layer is expanded by adding the large $TiO_2$ particles during the catalyst preparation. Both of above two methods is regarded as that the broad gates of the larger pores in the coating layer are effectively filled with the proper catalyst. So these results encourage the utilization of sheet filter as a good catalytic filter material with its potential merit of high permeability.

분진과 질소 산화물을 동시에 처리할 수 있는 이원적 기능을 가진 촉매 필터는 산업체 적용에 많은 장점을 갖고 있다. 통기성이 높은 시트 형 세라믹 필터를 촉매 필터 소재로 활용하면 배기가스 처리 공정의 타당성을 더욱 높일 것이다. 그러나 시트 필터는 두께가 얇아서 촉매 지지층에 촉매를 부착할 수 있는 공간이 부족하므로 효과적인 촉매필터를 제조하기가 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서는 국산 시트 필터를 사용하여 촉매 필터를 제조하고 실험실 장치에서 제조된 촉매 필터의 NO 환원 성능이 평가되었다. 현재 시판되고 있는 시트 필터로 촉매 필터를 제조할 경우 여과속도 $2m\;s^{-1}$에서 700 ppm NO 농도에 대한 NO 전환율이 92% 이하로써 촉매 필터 재료로써 좋은 특성을 나타내지 못했다. 이와 같이 저조한 특성을 보이는 이유는 시트 필터의 촉매 지지층의 기공이 균일하지 못하여 필요 이상의 큰 기공이 존재하기 대문으로 해석되었다. 필터에 존재하는 큰 기공의 사이즈를 줄이기 위하여 필터를 제조하는 원재료에 작은 입자를 혼합하여 시트 필터의 기공을 줄이는 효과를 통하여 NO 전환율 96% 이상을 달성하였다. 또한 촉매 지지체로써 큰 입자의 $TiO_2$를 혼합하여 촉매층의 기공을 팽창시켜서 개선된 촉매 필터는 상용 요구에 충족되는 98% 이상의 NO 전환율을 보였다. 위 두 경우 모두 촉매층 내에 존재할 수 있는 큰 기공을 효과적으로 메워서 적절한 촉매층이 형성되면 촉매 필터의 성능이 향상되는 결과를 보인 것이다. 따라서 이와 같이 통기도가 우수한 장점을 가진 시트 필터가 촉매 필터의 소재로 잘 활용될 수 있음을 보였다.
