Abstract

Natural gas is a clean fuel that discharges almost no air-contaminating substances. This study examined the simultaneous reduction of $CH_4$ and NOx of NGOC/LNT catalysts for CNG buses related to the improvement of the $de-CH_4/NOx$ performance, focusing mainly on identifying the additive catalysts, loading of the washcoat, stirring time, and types of substrates. The 3wt. % Ni-loaded NGOC generally exhibited superior $CH_4$ reduction performance through $CH_4$ conversion, because Ni is an alkaline, toxic oxide, and exerts a reducing effect on $CH_4$. A excessively small loading resulted in insufficient adsorption capacity of harmful gases, whereasa too high loading of washcoat caused clogging of the substrate cells. In addition, with the economic feasibility of catalysts considered, the appropriate amount of catalyst washcoat loading was estimated to be 124g/L. The NOx conversion rate of the NGOC/LNT catalysts stirred from $200^{\circ}C$ to $550^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours showed 10-15% better performance than the NGOC/LNT catalysts mixed for 2 hours over the entire temperature range. The NGOC/LNT catalysts exhibitedapproximately 20% higher $de-CH_4$ performance on the ceramic substrates than on the metal substrates.

천연 가스는 공기 오염 물질을 거의 배출하지 않는 깨끗한 연료입니다. 이 연구의 목적은 CNG 버스용 NGOC/LNT(천연가스산화촉매/질소산화물흡장)촉매의 메탄과 질소산화물 동시 저감에 관한 연구로 메탄과 질소산화물 저감 성능 개선과 관련하여 조촉매, washcoat 담지량, 교반 시간 및 담체 종류에 대해 주로 초점을 두었다. 더구나, 니켈은 알칼리성의 독성 산화물이고 메탄에 영향을 미치는 효과가 있기 때문에, 3 wt% 니켈이 담지된 천연가스산화촉매는 일반적으로 메탄 전환율을 통해 우수한 메탄 감소 성능을 나타낸다. 담체에 담지량이 적으면 유해 가스의 흡장량이 충분치 않고 워시 코트가 너무 많이 담지되면 담체의 셀이 막히게 되었다. 촉매의 경제적을 고려할 때 촉매에 담지되는 양은 124g/L가 적절하다. 물질마다 5시간 동안 교반된 NGOC/LNT 촉매의 200에서 550도 까지 NOx 전환율은 2시간 동안 교반된 NGOC/LNT 촉매보다 전체 온도 범위에서 10-15% 우수한 성능을 보였다. 세라믹 담체의 NGOC/LNT 촉매는 메탈 담체보다 약 20% 수준의 높은 메탄 저감 성능을 나타냈다.
