In this study, the effect of calcination temperature on the production of RuTi catalyst in NH₃-SCO (selective catalytic oxidation) was investigated. The RuTi catalyst was prepared using the wet impregnation method, and calcined at 400~600 ℃ for 4 h in air condition. The catalysts were named RuTi x00 where x00 means the calcination temperature. According to XRD (X-Ray diffraction), TEM (transmission electron microscope), H₂-TPR (H₂-temperature programmed reduction) analyses, RuTi x00 catalysts displayed that the dispersion of active metal decreased via increasing the calcination temperature. The catalysts with low dispersion showed a decrease in the surface adsorption oxygen species (O_β) and NH₃ adsorption amount via XPS, and NH₃-TPD analyses. Therefore, the RuTi 400 catalyst was well dispersed in the active metal on TiO₂ surface, and also, the NH₃ removal efficiency was excellent.

In this study, NH₃-selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) efficiencies according to calcination/reduction conditions were compared when preparing various Ru[1]/TiO₂ catalysts. The Ru[1]/TiO₂ red catalyst had better NH₃ conversion and NH₃ to N₂ conversion than those of Ru[1]/TiO₂ cal. Physico-chemical properties of Ru[1]/TiO₂ catalysts were confirmed by Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature programmed reduction (H₂-TPR) analyses, and the properties were shown to affect the dispersion and surface adsorption oxygen species (O_β) ratio of the active metal.

In the study, NH₃-SCO (selective catalytic oxidation) reaction activity accodrding to vanadium loading amount were compared when preparing Pt/V/TiO₂. Considering both NH₃ conversion rate and N₂ selectivity, V 2 wt% loading of the catalyst showed the best activity. When the correlation between physical/chemical characteristics and reaction activity was confirmed, it was confirmed that the increase in lattice oxygen and (V³⁺ + V⁴⁺) ratios were active factor. In addition, when the SO₂ durability experiment was conducted using the best catalyst, it was confirmed that the influence was insignificant even if the high concentration of SO₂ was injected.

In this study, we investigated the activity of Pd and Pt supported on acidic Fe-ZSM5 supports for selective catalytic oxidation of ammonia ($NH_3$-SCO). Among the catalysts, Pt/Fe-ZSM5 catalyst exhibited superior $NH_3$-SCO activity to Pd/Fe-ZSM5 catalyst. We also tested Pt/Fe-ZSM5 catalysts with different Fe loading using ion-exchange method to prepare Fe-ZSM5 supports, which resulted in the increased catalytic performance with smaller Fe content: $NH_3$ was oxidized completely at low temperature ($250^{\circ}C$). The physicochemical properties of Fe-ZSM5 were investigated to figure out the relationship between the characteristics of the catalysts and the catalytic activity on $NH_3$-SCO by Inductively coupled plasma-atomic emissions spectrometer (ICP-AES), $N_2$ sorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed desorption of $NH_3$ ($NH_3$-TPD) technique.

In this study, the study of the selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) for controlling the $NH_3$ at $200{\sim}350^{\circ}C$ range was investigated. Physicochemical properties of the catalysts were determined using XRD and XPS analysis. In the case of catalytic activity according to thermal treatment condition, the reduction catalyst showed better activity than that of using the calcination catalyst. It was confirmed that the valence state of reduction catalyst was mainly $Pt^{2+}$ and $Pt^0$ as analyzed by XPS. Also, when comparing the reaction activities of $Pt/TiO_2$ catalysts according to the reduction temperature, the $NH_3$ conversion of the catalyst reduced at $700^{\circ}C$ showed the most excellent activity. However, the best activity of $NH_3$ conversion to $N_2$ was obtained for the catalyst reduced at $600^{\circ}C$.

In this study, the effect of physical properties of $Pt/TiO_2$ on $NH_3$-selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) reaction at $200{\sim}350^{\circ}C$ was investigated. CO-chemisoption and BET analysis were carried out to verify physical properties of $Pt/TiO_2$. By characterizing physical properties of $Pt/TiO_2$ with respect to the Pt loading, the metal dispersion degree decreased as a function of the Pt loading amount. Also, the catalyst having a higher metal dispersion showed an excellent conversion efficiency of $NH_3$ to $N_2$. Since the specific surface area of the support affects the metal dispersion, $Pt/TiO_2$ catalysts were prepared using $TiO_2$ with different physical properties. As a result, it was confirmed that the catalyst having a wide specific surface area exhibited a excellent conversion of $NH_3$ to $N_2$.

In this study, selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) of $NH_3$ using $Ce/TiO_2$ catalyst was examined to control the slipped NH3 from various pollutants. It was found that the catalytic activity increased with increasing the Ce loadings till reaching 10 wt% Ce loading. However, when Ce loaded over 10 wt%, the activity of catalysts rather decreased than that of catalysts, below 10 wt% Ce. Therefore, the composition of $Ce/TiO_2$ catalyst optimized in this study can be applied to industrial fields.
