$NO_x$ 제어 기술로는 크게 연소 전 탈질, 연소 개선 및 연소 후 탈질 기술로 구분할 수 있으며, 연소 후 탈질 기술에 속하는 SCR은 촉매를 사용하여 $NO_x$를 환원하는 대표적인 배연탈질기술이다. SCR의 $NO_x$ 저감 성능은 촉매 요인(촉매 구성물질, 형태, 공간속도 등)과 배가스의 온도, 유속 분포, 공정 운전 조건 등의 다양한 인자에 의해 좌우되는데 특히, 촉매층으로 유입되는 유동의 균일도는 가장 중요한 요소가 된다. 유동이 균일하지 않을 경우 촉매 전단에 편류가 발생하게 될 것이며 일정 촉매만 사용하게 되어 촉매 사용주기 감소 및 SCR 성능 저하를 초래할 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 수치 해석 기법을 이용하여 설계 초기의 SCR 반응기 내 유동 특성을 모사하여 기류 균일도 여부를 확인하고, SCR 내 유동 균일도를 최적화시키기 위한 설계를 목적으로 설치하는 가이드 베인과 배플, 다공판이 반응기 내부 유동 및 촉매층의 기류 균일도에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 유동 개선을 위해 인입 덕트 곡관부에 가이드 베인을 설치하여 처리가스를 적절하게 배분시키고, 반응기 상단에 3단 배플을 설치한 결과 반응기 내부 유동의 편류 개선에 매우 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 다공판을 예비 촉매층 하단부 위치에 추가로 설치함에 따라 유동을 한번 더 완충시킬 수 있어 기류 균일도가 매우 양호해짐을 알 수 있었다.

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 government has recently come up with a policy to tighten regulations on air pollutant emissions due to public concerns over the emission of pollutants such as fine dust. The coal-fired power plant is speeding up the improvement of the performance of environmental facilities, and this paper deals with the cases of performance improvement by adding a catalyst to the 500 MW standard coal-fired power DeNox system, and examines the change in the performance factors according to the addition of catalysts and the efficiency of NOx removal. The DeNOx efficiency before and after improvement increased from 80% to 88%, and the conversion rate of SO2/SO3, ammonia slip which are performance factors satisfied the design assurance value, but exceeded the design assurance value for differential pressure. At the same time, the ammonia slip concentration and differential pressure items increased as the NOx removal efficiency increased, resulting in the need for management and improvement.

With the recent reinforcement of emission standards, it is necessary to make efforts to reduce NOx from air pollutant-emitting workplaces. The NOx reduction method mainly used in industrial facilities is selective catalytic reduction (SCR), and the most commercial SCR catalyst is the ceramic honeycomb catalyst. This study was carried out to reduce the NOx emitted from steel plants by applying De-NOx catalyst coated on metallic monolith. The De-NOx catalyst was synthesized through the optimized coating technique, and the coated catalyst was uniformly and strongly adhered onto the surface of the metallic monolith according to the air jet erosion and bending test. Due to the good thermal conductivity of metallic monolith, the De-NOx catalyst coated on metallic monolith showed good De-NOx efficiency at low temperatures (200 ~ 250 ℃). In addition, the optimal amount of catalyst coating on the metallic monolith surface was confirmed for the design of an economical catalyst. Based on these results, the De-NOx catalyst of commercial grade size was tested in a semi-pilot De-NOx performance facility under a simulated gas similar to the exhaust gas emitted from a steel plant. Even at a low temperature (200 ℃), it showed excellent performance satisfying the emission standard (less than 60 ppm). Therefore, the De-NOx catalyst coated metallic monolith has good physical and chemical properties and showed a good De-NOx efficiency even with the minimum amount of catalyst. Additionally, it was possible to compact and downsize the SCR reactor through the application of a high-density cell. Therefore, we suggest that the proposed De-NOx catalyst coated metallic monolith may be a good alternative De-NOx catalyst for industrial uses such as steel plants, thermal power plants, incineration plants ships, and construction machinery.

VWTi, which is used as a commercial catalyst in NH3-SCR, exhibits excellent denitrification performance at 300 to 400 ℃, but there is a problem that efficiency decreases at low temperatures below 300 ℃. Research on catalysts containing promoter to increase low-temperature denitrification efficiency is steadily progressing. However, research on the cause of the improvement in low-temperature denitrification efficiency of the catalyst and the catalyst properties is insufficient. In this study, it was confirmed that by adding Sb to VWTi, denitrification performance was improved by more than 10% in NH3-SCR reaction below 300 ℃. At this time, the space velocity and the size of the catalyst particles were controlled to exclude the influence of external/internal diffusion. In addition, the catalytic properties according to the presence or absence of Sb were investigated by performing BET, TEM/EDS, O2-TPD, H2-TPR and DRIFTs analysis. It was judged that the addition of Sb increased the adsorbed oxygen species on the surface of the catalyst, thereby enhancing the redox properties of the catalyst at low temperature and exhibiting excellent denitrification performance.

산화구리가 담지된 알루미나 흡수제/촉매를 이용하여 유황산화물과 질소산화물의 제거반응 특성을 고정층 반응기를 이용하여 고찰하였다. 반응온도가 증가할 수록 $350^{\circ}C$까지 탈질 효율이 증가하였으며 그 이상의 온도에서는 암모니아의 산화에 의하여 탈질효율이 감소하였다. 암모니아의 $NO_{x}$ 선택성은 $SO_{x}$ 가 존재하지 않는 경우에 $NH_3/NO_{x}$mole 비 1.0 까지 유지되었으나 $SO_{x}$ 가 존재하면 선택성은 매우 감소하였다. 동시제거 반응의 경우 $400^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 효과적이었으며 $350^{\circ}C$ 이하에서는 암모늄 염의 생성으로 인하여 탈질효율의 감소가 반응시간이 증가함에 따라서 감소하였다.

The catalytic activity of the used catalyst, $V_2O_5/TiO_2$, for MSW incinerators was investigated focusing on its regeneration. As the result of the experimental analysis, the NOx removal efficiency difference between the fresh catalyst and used catalyst is about 60% at $260^{\circ}C$ and 1, 2-dichlorobenzen (1, 2-DCB) removal efficiency difference is about 14% at $200^{\circ}C$, in honeycomb test. And the catalysts, both the fresh and used, were characterized by XRD, TGA, and ICP techniques in order to investigate the deactivation. On the basis of the results, it is found that the used catalyst is deactivated by ammonium-sulfates, heavy metals (Pb, As etc.), alkali metals (Ca), and phase transfer of $TiO_2$. Also calcination treatment under nitrogen and air condition was excellent than washing and calcination treatment.

산업시설 및 대형 발전설비에서 배출되는 아황산가스 및 질소산화물은 대기환경에 직접적으로 악영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라, 오존의 생성과 고갈, 산성비의 출현등으로 지구 온난화와 같은 기후변화에 크게 기여하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 기존의 습식 석회/석회석 탈황공정(FGD) 및 선택적 촉매/비촉매 탈질기술(SCR/SNCR)은 효과적인 상용기술로서 널리 연구개발되어 왔으나, 대단위 시설투자와 고비용, 2차 오염물질의 배출이 단점으로 지적되고 있다(Nam, 1999).(중략)
