Reduction activity of precious metal-loaded HZSM-5 for NO has been studied and was compared to that of Cu-HZSM-5 in the presence of excess oxygen. It was found that among the catalysts used in this study, Ru-HZSM-5 was the most active catalyst for the reduction of NO to $N_2$ in the absence of hydrocarbon reductant. The highest conversion obtained was 45%. No severe inhibition of water vapor to the reduction was observed. It is suggested that the higher catalytic activity of Ru-HZSM-5 may result from the better ability to oxidize NO to $NO_2$ in the presence of excess oxygen. A proposed reaction mechanism for the reduction of NO to $N_2$ in the presence of excess oxygen is that NO is oxidized to $NO_2$ on the surface of Ru-HZSM-5 catalyst and the adsorbed $NO_2$ on the surface is then decomposed to $N_2$. $NO_2$ is supposed to the reaction.

Performance of catalyst was studied with various operating conditions for selective catalytic reduction of $NO_x$ with $NH_3$. It is confirmed that catalysts containing Mn and Cu have a good efficiency in the usage of oxygen by the $H_2$-TPR analysis. In the case of catalyst #1, $NO_x$ conversion was decrease with the increase of reaction temperature. But in the case of catalyst #2, $NO_x$ conversion was increased and then remained constant with the increase of reaction temperature. This phenomenon is due to the difference of the $NH_3$ oxidation of both catalysts.

석유 및 천연가스를 대체하는 자원으로 석탄이 유망하다고 전망하고 있다. 미국에서는 6대 파괴력이 있는 기술로 청정석탄기술이 선정되었고, 한국에서도 15대 그린에너지 중 하나인 청정연료에 석탄전환기술이 포함되어 전략로드맵이 작성되고 있다. 국내에서 추진되고 있는 석탄기술은 석탄가스화를 기반으로 하고 있다. 석탄가스화는 고체연료인 석탄을 $1000^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 산소와 반응시켜 일산화탄소와 수소가 주성분인 합성가스로 전환하는 기술이다. 석탄을 가스화하면 석탄에 포함된 불순물을 쉽고 완벽하게 제거할 수 있으며 특히 CO2 제거를 값싸게 할 수 있어 청정화가 가능하다. 최근 고유가를 겪으면서 열량이 높은 고급탄의 확보가 어려워지면서 가격이 낮고 수급이 용이한 저급탄을 활용하는 기술의 수요가 발생되어 국내에서 기업을 중심으로 저급탄을 고효율로 가스화하는 기술 개발이 시도되고 있다. 정제된 석탄가스는 성분을 조절하여 촉매에 의해 메탄으로 전환시킬 수 있고, 이렇게 제조된 가스를 합성천연가스(SNG)라 한다. 값싼 저급탄을 사용하면 SNG를 천연가스보다 저렴하게 생산할 수 있다. 국내 기업이 SNG 제조 실증시설을 도입하고, 동시에 핵심기술인 SNG 합성반응공정을 개발하는 사업을 추진하고 있다. 석탄가스를 촉매반응에 의해 디젤 및 �F싸로 전환하는 석탄간접액화기술은 현재 남아공 Sasol사에서 상업적으로 운전되고 있는 기술이나 국내로의 기술이전이 거의 불가능하다. 철을 기반으로 하는 고유 촉매와 scale-up이 가능한 반응기가 핵심인 기술로 국내에서 세미-파일럿급 액화공정 기술개발이 진행중이다. 전세계적으로 석탄액화공장의 수요가 현재의 15만배럴/일에서 2030년 240만배럴/일로 증가한다고 예측된다. 따라서 200조원 이상의 플랜트 시장이 기대되며 국산 가스화, SNG 및 액화기술로 상당부분의 시장을 장악하고자 한다.

DeNOx catalysts composed of Mn, Cu and $TiO_2$ were prepared and tested for $NH_3$-SCR. The performance of each catalyst was studied for the NOx removal efficiency while changing the calcination temperature, reaction time, and oxygen concentration. The hydrogen conversion efficiency of a calcined catalyst was measured at the $H_2$-TPR system. The change in the specific surface area of catalyst according to the calcination temperature was analyzed. As a result, the proper calcination temperature was approximately $300^{\circ}C$. If the calcination temperature is increased to $500^{\circ}C$, the NOx removal efficiency of Mn and Cu constituents is largely decreased at the low temperature range. Oxygen in flue gas is an important parameter in the SCR reaction and optimal oxygen concentration is approximately 8 vol.%.

A series of fabric filters including P-84, Nomex and PTFE were coated with a commercial $V_2O_5/TiO_2$ catalyst as an effort to develop a functional fabric filter of simultaneous removal of dust and NOx. The coating methods employed are sol-gel coating method, spray coating method and dip coating method, and the effects of coating method on NOx removal performance of functional fabric filter were investigated. Experimental conditions are as follows: the temperatures of $100-250^{\circ}C$ which are the normal operating temperature range of fabric filters, the space velocity of $5,000hr^{-1}$, the oxygen concentration of 6%, and the $NH_3/NO$ ratio of 1.0. Results showed that the sol-gel coating method gave the best NOx removal performance mainly due to its ability in controlling the amount of catalyst and uniform coating.

The reaction properties of Pd. Pd-Ce and Pd-La catalysts supported on ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ were investigated in the oxidation reaction of methane($CH_4$) exhausted from the compressed natural gas vehicle in a U-tube flow reactor with gas hourly space velocity of $72,000h^{-1}$. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), BET surface area and hydrogen chemisorption. Pd catalyst prepared by $Pd(NO_3)_2$ as a palladium precursor and calcined at $600^{\circ}C$ showed the highest activity for a methane oxidation. Catalytic activity of calcined $Pd/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ in which most of palladium was converted into palladium oxide species was higher than that of reduced $Pd/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ in which most of palladium existed in palladium metal by XRD. As increasing the number of reaction cycles in the wide range of redox, the catalytic activity of $Pd/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was decreased and the highly active window became narrower. Lanthanum oxide promoted Pd catalyst, $Pd/La/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ showed enhanced thermal stability compared with $Pd/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ even after aging at $1000^{\circ}C$, which was ascribed to the role of La as a promoter to suppress the sintering of palladium metal and ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ support. Almost all of methane was removed by the reaction with NO at the redox ratio of 1.2 in case of oxygen excluded steam, but that activity was significantly decreased in the steam containing oxygen.

산업용 보일러나 발전설비와 같은 대규모 고정원에서 다량 배출되는 NOx는 시정장애, 온실효과뿐만 아니라 산성비의 원인으로 작용하며, 자외선 존재 하에 산소와 결합하여 광화학 smog를 유발시키는 등 문제를 초래하고 있다. NOx 저감기술은 크게 연소전 처리와 연소후처리로 나눌 수 있는데, 연소전 처리에 의해서는 40-70% 저감효과를 얻는 것으로 알려져 있어 어떤 형태로든 연소후 처리기술의 도입이 불가피하다. (중략)

Catalytic upgrading of pyrolytic bio-oil produced from Japanes Larch was carried out over MCM-41 catalyst. Oil with enhanced stability was produced by the MCM-41 catalyst due to transform oxygen known as a main cause for the instability of bio-oil into $H_2O$, CO and $CO_2$. In addition, the MCM-41 catalyst produced the larger amount of phenolic compounds in the pyrolytic bio-oil product compared with that in the bio-oil produced without catalyst. Especially, the catalytic activity of Al-MCM-41 for the bio-oil upgrading was higher than that of Si-MCM-41 because Al-MCM-41 has the larger amount of acid sites. Also, the better reforming result was obtained when pyrolytic bio-oil vapor passed through catalytic layer rather than Japanese Larch was mixed with catalyst directly.

An efficient Pd-coated $La_{0.1}Sr_{0.9}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_{3-{\delta}}$ (LSCF-1928) catalyst for total oxidation of methane under landfill gas at low tmeperature has been developed. Synergism was observed between Pd coating and LSCF-1928 substrate. When Pd coating on LSCF-1928, we used electroless plating method and conformed characteristic of catalyst through TPR(Temperature Programmed Reduction) analysis, XRD(X-ray Diffraction) analysis, SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope). The results demonstrated that the Pd coated LSCF-1928 catalysts showed higher performance than non-Pd LSCF-1928. Pd coated LSCF-1928 had low total oxidation temperature of methane (< $475^{\circ}C$) which is lower than total oxidation temperature of methane about non-Pd LSCF-1928 catalysts (= $475^{\circ}C$). Also, $O_2$ conversion rate was higher than non-Pd LSCF-1928 at same temperature.

Electrochemical cells for decomposing $NO_x$ were fabricated using a hydrothermally synthesized lanthanum stannate pyrochlore catalyst. Thick film of the catalyst on the YSZ electrolyte disk was produced by screen-printing a paste consisted of $La_2Sn_2O_7$ and YSZ powders. Direct current was applied to the electrochemical cell to promote an electrochemical catalytic decomposition of $NO_x$. $NO_x$ decomposition behavior of the rectant gas mixture ($NO_x$ 0.1%, $O_2$ 2%) was investigated at 700${\circ}C$ under atmosphere pressure using on-line gas chromatography and $NO_x$ analyzer. It was observed that microstructure of the catalyst layer significantly influences the electrocatalystic decomposition of $NO_x$.
