공정효율 및 배기배출물 개선을 위해 로터리 킬른 버너 개발에 대한 연구는 지속적으로 이루어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 COG(Coke Oven Gas)를 연료로 사용하는 철광석 소결용 로터리 킬른의 다공노즐버너 개발을 위해 일차공기 노즐 직경, 버너 당량비, 버너 중앙노즐과 주위노즐의 당량비 변화에 따른 화염 및 배기배출 특성에 대한 수치해석 연구를 수행하였다. 일차공기 노즐 직경이 증가함에 따라 각 동일 당량비에서 화염길이는 길어지고 $NO_x$ 배출도 증가하였으며, 버너 당량비가 증가함에 따라 화염길이와 $NO_x$ 배출이 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 버너 중앙노즐의 당량비 변화에 따라 $NO_x$ 배출에는 차이를 보였으며, 화염길이 및 킬른 내부 온도에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 본 연구를 통해 $D_2/D_1$가 1.33, 버너 당량비가 1.25이고 버너 중앙 노즐이 Rich인 조건이 킬른 내부 온도분포 및 $NO_x$ 배출량 기준을 만족하는 적절한 설계조건임을 제시하였다.

Diesel $NO_x$ reduction by $NH_3$-SCR in conjunction with the effective oxidation precatalyst was analytically investigated. Physicochemical processes in regard to $NH_3$-SCR $NO_x$ reduction and catalytic NO-$NO_2$ conversion are formulated with detailed descriptions on the commanding reactions. A unified model is correctly validated with experimental data in terms of extents of $NO_x$ reduction by SCR and NO-$NO_2$ conversion by DOC. The present deterministic model based on the rate expressions of Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction scheme finds a conversion extent directly. A series of numerical experiments concomitant with parametric analysis of the $NO_x$ reduction was conducted. $NO_x$ reduction is promoted in proportion to DOC volume ar lower temperatures and an opposite holds at lower space velocity and intermediate temperatures. $NO_x$ conversion is weakly correlated to the space velocity and the DOC volume at higher exhaust temperature. In DOC-SCR system, the $NO_x$ reduction efficiency depends on the $NH_3/NO_x$ ratio.

The $NH_3$-SCR characteristics of $NO_X$ over a V-based catalyst are experimentally examined over a wide range of operating conditions, i.e., $170-590^{\circ}C$ and $30,000-50,000h^{-1}$, with a simulated diesel exhaust containing $NH_3$, NO, $NO_2$, $O_2$, $H_2O$, and $N_2$. The influences of the space velocity and oxygen concentration on the standard-SCR reaction are analyzed, and it is shown that the low space velocity and high oxygen concentration promote the SCR activity by ammonia. The best $deNO_X$ efficiency is obtained with a $NO_2/NO_X$ ratio of 0.5 because of an enhanced chemical activity induced by the fast-SCR reaction, while at the $NO_2/NO_X$ ratios above 0.5 the $deNO_x$ activity decreases due to the slow-SCR reaction. The oxidation of ammonia begins to take place at about $300^{\circ}C$ and the reaction products, such as $N_2$, NO, $NO_2$, $N_2O$, and $H_2O$, are produced by the undesirable oxidation reactions of ammonia, particularly at high temperatures above $450^{\circ}C$. Also, $NO_2$ decomposes to NO and $O_2$ at temperatures above $240^{\circ}C$. Therefore, $NO_2$ decomposition and ammonia oxidation reactions deteriorate significantly the SCR catalytic activity at high temperatures.

The long-term variations of ozone and nitrogen oxides in Suwon city, the capital of Gyeong-gi province, were examined from 1991 to 2012. In this period, the annual average $O_3$ concentration increased from 13.8 ppbv to 22.7 ppbv and that of $99^{th}$ percentile increased from 58.0 ppbv to 80.0 ppbv. The monthly average and $99^{th}$ percentile of $O_3$ concentrations were the highest in June. The increase in $O_3$ concentration was the greatest in early summer (May and June) before monsoon season began. While the concentrations of NO and NOx have gradually decreased since 2000, $NO_2$ remained unchanged. As a result, $NO_2/NO_x$ ratio increased from 0.5 to 0.73 in 2012. The monthly $NO_2/NO_x$ ratio was the highest in early summer, when monthly average $O_3$ concentration was the highest. It suggests that the enhanced $NO_2/NO_x$ ratio is intimately coupled with increase in $O_3$ for the last two decades in Suwon.

This study was carried out to determine an optimal lean $NO_x$ trap (LNT) regeneration condition based on a $NO_x$ storage fraction. The LNT regeneration was performed by an in-cylinder post fuel injection method. A $NO_x$ storage fraction is defined by the ratio of current cumulated $NO_x$ amount in the LNT to the $NO_x$ storage capacity: 0 means empty and 1 fully loaded. In this study five engine operating conditions were chosen to represent the New European Driving Cycle. With various $NO_x$ storage fractions each engine operating condition, the LNT regeneration was executed and then $NO_x$ conversion efficiency, additional fuel consumption, CO and THC slip, peak catalyst temperature were measured. The results showed that there exist an optimal condition to regenerate the LNT, eg. 1500 rpm 6 bar BMEP with below 0.7 $NO_x$ storage fraction in this experimental constraint.

Flue gas recirculation (FGR) is a method used to control oxides of nitrogen ($NO_x$) in combustion system. The recirculated flue gases resulted in slow reaction and low flame temperatures, which in turn resulted in decreased thermal NO production. Recently, it has been demonstrated that introducing the recirculated flue gas in the fuel stream, that is, the fuel induced recirculation (FIR), resulted in a much greater reduction in $NO_x$ per unit mass of recirculated gas, as compared to introducing the flue gases in air. In the present study, the effect on $NO_x$ reduction in turbulent swirl flame in laboratory scale using FGR/FIR methods through the dilution using $N_2$ and $CO_2$. Results. show the $CO_2$ dilution is more effective $NO_x$ reduction methods because of large temperature drop due to the larger specific heat $CO_2$ compared to $N_2$. FIR is more effective to reduce $NO_x$ emission than FGR when the same recirculation ratio of dilution gas.

Lean premixed combustion is a well known method for low $NO_x$ gas turbine combustor. But lean combustion is usually accompanied by flame instability. To overcome this problem, the hydrogen ($H_2$) was added to main fuel methane to increase flammable limit. In this paper, the effects of hydrogen addition on lean premixed combustion of methane ($CH_4$) were investigated numerically. Results showed that the extinction stretch rate increases and the extinction temperature constant with relatively small amount of $H_2$ addition. The flame temperature and NO emission increase with $H_2$ addition at the same stretch rate and equivalence ratio but it could increase the range of lean extinction and extinction equivalence ratio limit. Eventually, the $H_2$ addition case showed almost same or lower NO emission than no addictive $CH_4$ case in the extinction condition.

The Selective catalytic reduction(SCR) system is a highly-effective device of $NO_x$ reduction for diesel engines. Generally, the ammonia($NH_3$) generated from a liquid urea-water solution is used for the reductant. The ideal ratio of $NH_3$ molecules to $NO_x$ molecules is 1:1 based on $NH_3$ consumption and having $NH_3$ available for reaction of all of the exhaust $NO_x$. However, under the too low and too high temperature condition, the $NO_x$ reduction efficiency becomes lower, due to temperature window. And space velocity also affects to $NO_x$ conversion efficiency. This paper reviews a laboratory study to evaluate the effects of $NO_x$ and $NH_3$ concentrations, gas temperature and space velocity on the $NO_x$ conversion efficiency of the SCR system. The maximum conversion efficiency of $NO_x$ was indicated when the $NH_3$ to $NO_x$ ratio was 1.2 and the space velocity was $60,000\;h^{-1}$. The results of this paper contribute to improve overall $NO_x$ reduction efficiency and $NH_3$ slip.

산업현장에서 배출되는 저온($150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$)의 배기가스에 포함된 질소산화물($NO_x$)을 제거하기 위한 공정으로써 산화 촉매와 암모니아 SCR 공정을 복합시킨 fast SCR 탈질공정에 대한 실험적인 연구가 수행되었다. Fast SCR 탈질공정을 위해서는 산화촉매를 이용 NO를 $NO_2$로 전환하는 것이 요구된다. 산화촉매 부피(Oxidation Catalyst Volume, OCV)에 따른 NO 전환율을 실험적으로 확인하였다. OCV 563000 h, 375000 h, 281000 h 각 경우에 NO 전환율은 37% : 45% : 51%이었다. 온도에 따른 fast SCR 탈질효율은 $NO_2/NO_x$ 비율 45%일 때 가장 높았다. $NO_2/NO_x$ 비율 45%, 온도 $200{\sim}250^{\circ}C$ 및 공간속도 $10000{\sim}30000h^{-1}$에서 standard SCR과 fast SCR 탈질효율을 비교한 결과, standard SCR은 공간속도 에 따라 온도별로 차이를 보였으나 fast SCR은 차이를 보이지 않았다. Fast SCR 반응을 고려한 탈질운전에서 공간속도 $10000h^{-1}$에서의 촉매부피와 비교하여 공간속도 $30000h^{-1}$으로 운전할 경우, NH3 SCR 촉매부피를 50% 이상 줄일 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Efficient simultaneous reduction conditions for $NO_x$ and $NH_3$-slip was investigated in SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) process with load variation by applying dual catalysts (SCR catalyst, $NH_3$ decomposition catalyst) system. $N_2O$ formation characteristics were analyzed to look into possible undesirable reaction pathways. In the experiments of catalyst characteristics, various operational variables were tested for the combined catalytic system, such as $NH_3/NO_x$ ratio, temperature, oxygen concentration and $H_2O$. The reaction characteristics of $NO_x$, $NH_3$ and $N_2O$ were analyzed and optimal conditions could be evaluated for the combustion facility with varied load. In terms of $NO_x/NH_3$ simultaneous reduction and $N_2O$ formation suppression, optimal condition was considered NSR 1.2 and temperature $300^{\circ}C$. At this operational condition, $NO_x$ conversion was 98%, $NH_3$ reduction efficiency was 95%, generated $N_2O$ concentration 9.5 ppm with inlet $NO_x$ concentration of 100 ppm. In $NH_3-SCR$ process with $NH_3$ decomposition catalyst, $NO_x$ and $NH_3$ can be considered to be reduced simultaneously at limited conditions. The results of this study may be utilized as basic data at facilities requiring simultaneous $NO_x$ and $NH_3$ reduction for facilities with load variation.
