본 연구에서는 디젤엔진에서 배출되는 질소산화물의 저감을 위한 후처리장치인 LNT(Lean NOx Trap, 흡장형 De-NOx 촉매)의 특성을 파악하였다. 먼저 희박한 배출가스 상태에서의 질소산화물 중 산화질소에 대한 촉매의 기본적인 흡장성능을 알아본 후, 다양한 환원제를 분사하여 인위적으로 배출가스를 농후한 상태를 만들었다. 농후한 상태에서는 희박한 상태에서 촉매 내에 흡장되어 있던 산화질소가 촉매의 환원반응에 의해서 질소로 전환된 후 촉매후단부에서 산화질소 배출농도를 측정하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 LNT(Lean NOx Trap)시편은 실제 디젤 차량에서 사용되는 LNT 촉매로부터 Reactor에 장착될 수 있도록 작은 사이즈로 절단 및 가공된 후, SUS304의 stainless 재질로 재가공 처리한 후에 Micro bench-flow reactor에 장착하였다. 분사된 피드가스성분들은 실제 배출가스의 분위기를 만들기 위해서 각각 3가지의 가열성분, 비가열 성분으로 나누어 분사된다. 이러한 조건들에서 다양한 반응온도와 공간속도를 반응변수로 하여 LNT(Lean NOx Trap)의 흡장성능과 환원제종류에 따른 산화질소의 배출특성을 파악하였다.

Lean NOx Trap (LNT) catalysts are capable of reducing exhaust NOx emissions from diesel engines. LNT stores NOx in lean condition and exhausts N2 by reducing NOx in rich condition. NOx reduction characteristic of LNT catalysts using throttle position sensor and fuel injection timing control for light-duty diesel engine was investigated. In contrast to SCR system, LNT catalyst uses diesel fuel in resuctant. Also if the concentration of reductant is exceeded, excessive amount of reductant will slip throughout LNT and cause another emission problem. Thus LNT regeneration with precise engine control established that can make higher NOx conversion efficiency and lower fuel penalty, prevent another emission problem. NOx and reductant concentration were measured by the NOx sensor and Mexa7100D equipped inlet and outlet of catalyst. As a result of engine test, regeneration strategy has reached high of 77.8% NOx conversion efficiency according to engine operation condition. Moreover, we have proved that it is possible to use regeneration strategy of LNT within 5% fuel penalty.

Recently, the certification procedure for exhaust emission regulation of LDV has tested with the NEDC mode in the laboratory. But the on-road exhaust emissions exceed the standard emission limits. Therefore, it is important to analyze the real-driving emissions (RDE) with a portable emissions measurement system (PEMS). In present study, the on-road emissions were measured with a PEMS and evaluated by moving averaging window (MAW) method. Also, it was compared with the $CO_2$ and $NO_x$ emissions for real-driving and test modes from euro-6 light-duty vehicles equipped with SCR and LNT systems. In results, on-road $NO_x$ emission has been 2.3-10.0 times higher than the standard $NO_x$ emission limit on NEDC mode. The reason was that the test modes did not reflect traffic and various real-driving patterns sufficiently.
