The $SO_2$ reduction using CO and $H_2$ over Sn-Zr based catalysts was performed in this study. Sn-Zr based catalysts with Sn/Zr molar ratio (0/1, 1/4, 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, 1/0) were prepared by the precipitation and co-precipitation method. The effect of the temperature on the reaction characteristics of the $SO_2$ reduction with a reducing agent such as $H_2$ and CO was investigated under the conditions of space velocity of $10,000ml/g_{-cat.}h$, $([CO(or\;H_2)]/[SO_2])$ of 2.0. As a result, the activity of Sn-Zr based catalysts were higher than $SnO_2$ and $ZrO_2$. The reactivity for the $SO_2$ reduction with CO was higher than that with $H_2$, and sulfur yield in the $SO_2$ reduction by $H_2$ was higher than that by CO. The reactivity for the $SO_2$ reduction with $H_2$ was increased with the reaction temperature regardless of Sn-Zr based catalyst with a Sn/Zr molar ratio. $SnO_2-ZrO_2$ (Sn/Zr=1/4) had highest activity at $550^{\circ}C$, in the $SO_2$ reduction with $H_2$ and $SO_2$ conversion of 94.4％ and sulfur yield of 66.4％ were obtained at $550^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, in the $SO_2$ reduction by CO, the reactivity was decreased with the increase over $325^{\circ}C$. At the optimal temperature of $325^{\circ}C$, $SO_2$ conversion and sulfur yield were about 100％ and 99.5％, respectively, in the $SO_2$ reduction over $SnO_2-ZrO_2$ (Sn/Zr=3/1). Also, the $SO_2$ reduction using syngas with $CO/H_2$ ratio over $SnO_2-ZrO_2$ (Sn/Zr=2/1) was performed in order to investigate the application possibility of the simulated coal gas as the reductant in DSRP. As a result, the reactivity of the $SO_2$ reduction using syngas with $CO/H_2$ ratio was increased with increasing the CO content of syngas. Therefore, it could be known that DSRP using the simulated coal gas over Sn-Zr based catalyst is possible to be realized in IGCC system

The injection of ozone, produced by dielectric barrier discharge, into the exhaust gas gives rise to a rapid oxidation of NO that is the main component of nitrogen oxides($NO_x$) in most practical exhaust gases. Once NO is converted into $NO_2$, it on readily be reduced to $N_2$ in the next step by a reducing agent such as sodium sulfide and sodium sulfite. The reducing agents used ca also remove $SO_2$ effectively, which makes it possible to treat $NO_x\;and\;SO_2$ simultaneously. The present two-step process made up of an ozonizing chamber and an absorber containing a reducing agent solution was able to remove about 95% of the $NO_x$ and 100% of the $SO_2$, initially contained in the simulated exhaust gas. The formation of $H_2S$ from sodium sulfide was prevented by using a strong basic reagent(NaOH) together with the reducing agent. The removal of $NO_x$\;and\;SO_2$ was more effective for $Na_2S$ than $Na_2SO_3$.

The $SO_2$ catalytic reduction was carried out under the condition of high pressure in this study. Sn-Zr based oxide and CO were used as the catalyst and reducing agent for the reduction of $SO_2$ to element sulfur, respectively. In order to compare the reactivity with the pressure on the catalytic process, the reactivity tests were performed under the conditions of atmospheric pressure and 20 atm. $SO_2$ conversion, the element sulfur yield and COS selectivity were also compared with changing the reaction temperature, $CO/SO_2$ mole ratio and the space velocity(GHSV). $SO_2$ conversion increased with increasing temperature and $CO/SO_2$ mole ratio under the condition of atmospheric pressure and element sulfur yield decreased due to the production of COS by the series reaction of CO and the produced sulfur. However, high $SO_2$ conversion and high element sulfur were obtained under the condition of 20 atm. It was concluded that COS decreased due to the condensation of the produced element sulfur under the condition of high pressure. Therefore, the high sulfur yield for $SO_2$ catalytic reduction could be profitably obtained under the condition of high pressure.

We try to look for optimum conditions of pre-reductants like L-Cysteine, KI and $FeSO_4$ when analyzing inorganic arsenic by using hydride generation-atomic absorption spectrometry, and run a comparative study of effect in the analysis of them. Also, we separated and analyzed only inorganic arsenic by using $H_2SO_4$-trap to eliminate organic arsenic which are MMA(monomethylarsonate) and DMA(dimethylarsinate). Under the conditions of mixture acid of 1.8 M HCl and 0.08 M $HNO_3$, arsenic standard solution of 20 ppb have more higher absorbance than without adding acid. In case of L-Cysteine, As(V) completely reduces into As(III) when 0.5 g of L-Cysteine is reacted more than 30 mins. in weak acid condition of approximately 0.07 M $HNO_3$ or HCl. In the event of KI, As(V) completely reduces into As(III) when 3 g of KI is reacted more than 1hour in acid condition of 0.8 M $HNO_3$. On the occasion of $FeSO_4$, the inside of tube is blocked by precipitation by mixture reaction of $NaBH_4$ and $Fe^{2+}$, therefore, comparing to other pre-reductants, reproducibility of efficiency of reducing As(V) to As(III) is low. To evaluate the accuracy of the analytical results, we use NIST SRM 1643C Trace Elements in Water ($82.1{\pm}1.2ng/mL$). The results are satisfactory.

In order to regenerate the sulfidated desulfurization sorbent, oxygen is used as the oxidant agent on the regeneration process. The small amount of oxygen un-reacted in regeneration process is flowed into direct sulfur recovery process. However, the reactivity for $SO_2$ reduction can be deteriorated with the un-reacted oxygen by various reasons. In this study, the deactivation effects of un-reacted oxygen contained in the off-gas of regeneration process flowed into direct sulfur recovery process of hot gas desulfurization system were investigated. Sn-Zr based catalysts were used as the catalyst for $SO_2$ reduction. The contents of $SO_2$ and $O_2$ contained in the regenerator off-gas used as the reactants were fixed to 5.0 vol% and 4.0 vol%, respectively. The catalytic activity tests with a Sn-Zr based catalyst were for $SO_2$ reduction performed at $300-450^{\circ}C$ and 1-20 atm. The un-reacted oxygen oxidized the elemental sulfur produced by $SO_2$ catalytic reduction and the conversion of $SO_2$ was reduced due to the production of $SO_2$. However, the temperature for the oxidation of elemental sulfur increased with increasing pressure in the catalytic reactor. Therefore, it was concluded that the decrease of reactivity at high pressure is occurred by catalytic deactivation, which is the re-oxidation of lattice oxygen vacancy in Sn-Zr based catalyst with the un-reacted oxygen on the catalysis by redox mechanism. Meanwhile the un-reacted oxygen oxidized CO supplied as the reducing agent and the temperature in the catalyst packed bed also increased due to the combustion of CO. It was concluded that the rapidly increasing temperature in the packed bed can induce the catalytic deactivation such as the sintering of active components.

희토류원소의 광 환원 침전 특성이 연구되었다. 환원제로 isopropyl alcohol, 침전제로 (NH$_4$)$_2$SO$_4$가 사용되었다. 그리고 250nm의 파장을 방출하는 수은 램프가 사용되었다. Eu원소만을 함유하는 용액으로부터 Eu+3의 Eu+2로의 광 환원 결과는 97%이상이었으며 과산화수소가 소량 첨가되었을 경우 침전 속도는 증가하였다. 이 결과를 토대로 하여 희토류원소들(Sm,Eu,Gd)을 함유하는 수용액과 유기용액(HDEPH-Dodecan)에 UV광을 조사하였을 시 선택적으로 Eu을 분리해 낼 수 있었다. Eu의 침전 회수율은 두 상의 경우 모두 97%이상이었다.

본 연구는 저온플라즈마를 이용하여 배기가스중의 SOx와 NOx를 동시에 처리하는 공정을 개발하는 것으로서, 최적의 반응제 선정과 효율적인 공정의 구성을 위해 SOx, NOx와 반응제와 반응기구를 밝히고자 하였다. 실험은 1.0 N㎥/h의 모사가스를 이용한 기초실험과 20 N㎥/h의 실제 연소가스를 이용한 실험으로 진행되었으며, 반응제로는 NH3와 파리핀계 및 올레핀계 탄화수소를 사용하였다. NH3를 반응제로 한 SO2 제거반응은 비플라즈마 조건에서는 NH4HSO3, 플라즈마 조건에서는 (NH4)2SO4의 생성반응이었고, 두 조건 모두 높은 제거율을 나타냈다. 반응제를 사용하지 않은 플라즈마 조건에서 SO2는 환원반응이 일어나고 O2 농도의 증가는 역반응을 증가시키는 화학평형에 의해 SO2의 제거율이 감소되었다. 플라즈마 조건에서 NO는 O2농도가 낮은 경우는 NO의 환원반응이 주로 일어나고, O2 농도가 높을 경우는 산화반응이 지배적이었다. 올레핀계 탄화수소는 플라즈마 조건에서 NO 산화 반응에 탁월한 효과를 보였을 뿐만 아니라 SO2 제거에도 효과를 보여 최대 40%의 제거율을 나타냈으며, NH3의 사용을 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

전 세계적으로 환경문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 환경규제를 강화시키며 특히 다양한 대기오염 물질 중 최근 큰 이슈인 초미세먼지 저감을 위해 전구물질로 알려진 질소산화물을 제어하기 위한 다양한 기술개발이 가속화되고 있다. 특히, 다양한 처리기술 중에 기술적·경제적인 이점을 갖춘 선택적 촉매환원법(selective catalytic reduction, SCR) 기술을 통하여 질소산화물 제거를 위해 암모니아를 환원제로 반응에 참여시켜 인체에 무해한 H₂O, N₂로 전환하는 기술이 대표적이다. 최근 전 세계적으로 다양한 산업군에서 질소산화물이 배출되고 있으며, 점오염원뿐만이 아니라 비점오염원(mobile sources)에 대한 규제가 강화되고 있다. 디젤엔진이 장착된 선박 배가스 처리장치 내 SCR 기술이 주목을 받고 있으며, NH₃-SCR에 사용되는 촉매는 주로 VO_x/TiO₂, VO_x/W/TiO₂ 촉매가 대표적이다. 한편 선박 디젤엔진에 사용되는 연료에 따라 연소배가스 특성이 다르다. 이러한 연료가 연소됨에 따라 SO₂, SO₃가 발생되고 환원제인 NH₃와 결합하여 황산암모늄염((NH₄)₂SO₄), ABS (ammonium bisulfate, NH₄HSO₄)과 같은 염을 형성시켜 탈질촉매의 비활성화 문제가 발생된다. 이러한 비활성화 물질이 침적된 탈질촉매를 재활성화 시키기 위하여 열 산화를 통해 재생시키고 있다. 이처럼 선박용 SCR 촉매는 강화되는 배출규제 및 엔진기술의 발달로 저감되는 운전 온도에 대비하여 저온 활성 재생이 가능한 고활성, 고내구성 촉매기술 개발이 필요하다.

The effects of H₂O and residue SO₂ in flue gases on the activity of the Fe/zeolite catalysts for low-temperature NH₃-SCR of NO were investigated. And the addition effect of Mn, Zr and Ce to Fe/zeolite for low-temperature NH₃-SCR of NO in the presence of H₂O and SO₂ was investigated. Fe/zeolite catalysts were prepared by liquid ion exchange and promoted Fe/zeolite catatysts were prepared by liquid ion exchange and doping of Mn, Zr and Ce by incipient wetness impregnation. Zeolite NH₄-BEA and NH₄-ZSM-5 were used to adapt the SCR technology for mobile diesel engines. The catalysts were characterized by BET, X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM/EDS, TEM/EDS. The NO conversion at 200 ℃ over Fe/BEA decreased from 77% to 47% owing to the presence of 5% H₂O and 100 ppm SO₂ in the flue gas. The Mn promoted MnFe/BEA catalyst exhibited NO conversion higher than 53% at 200 ℃ and superior to that of Fe/BEA in the presence of H₂O and SO₂. The addition of Mn increased the Fe dispersion and prevented Fe aggregation. The promoting effect of Mn was higher than Zr and Ce. Fe/BEA catalyst exhibited good activity in comparison with Fe/ZSM-5 catalyst at low temperature below 250 ℃.
