Abstract

In this work, the $N_2O$ decomposition catalyst and reaction characteristics to control the $N_2O$ removal were described. Experiments were carried out by using Rh as an active metal catalyst on various supports and the $Rh/CeO_2$ catalyst with $CeO_2$ support showed the best activity for the $N_2O$ decomposition when it was prepared under the constant heat treatment condition ($500^{\circ}C$-4 hr). $H_2-TPR$ and XPS analyzes were performed to confirm the effect of the physical and chemical properties of the catalyst on $N_2O$ decomposition. As a result, it was found that the increase of the oxygen transfer capacity of the catalyst due to the increase of both the redox property and $Ce^{3+}$ amount affected the decomposition reaction of $N_2O$. In addition, the future work will include a treatment process capable of decomposition $N_2O$ and NO under the condition that $N_2O$ and NO are simultaneously generated and its characteristics of $N_2O$ decomposition reaction.

본 연구에서는 $N_2O$를 제거하기 위한 $N_2O$ 분해 촉매와 반응특성에 대한 연구를 수행하고자 한다. 다양한 지지체에 Rh를 활성금속으로 촉매를 제조하여 실험을 수행하였으며, $CeO_2$를 지지체로 하는 $Rh/CeO_2$ 촉매에서 가장 우수한 $N_2O$ 분해활성을 나타내었다. 특히 일정한 소성조건($500^{\circ}C$-4 hr)에서 $Rh/CeO_2$ 촉매를 제조하였을 때 가장 우수한 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 촉매의 특성이 $N_2O$ 분해 반응에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 $H_2-TPR$ 및 XPS 분석을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 촉매의 redox 특성증진과 $Ce^{3+}$의 비율이 증가함에 따른 촉매의 산소전달능력의 증진이 $N_2O$ 분해반응에 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, $N_2O$와 NO가 동시에 발생하는 조건에서 $N_2O$ 분해 반응특성과, $N_2O$와 NO를 동시에 처리 가능한 공정에 대하여 연구하고자 한다.
