This work reviews the effects of catalyst formulation and exhaust gas composition on soot oxidation in CDPF (Catalytic Diesel Particulate Filter). DOC's (Diesel Oxidation Catalysts) have been loaded with Pt catalyst (Pt/$Al_{2}O_3$) for reduction of HC and CO. Recent CDPF's are coated with the Pt catalyst as well as additives like Mo, V, Ce, Co, Fe, La, Au, or Zr for the promotion of soot oxidation. Alkali (K, Na, Cs, Li) doping of metal catalyst tends to increase the activity of the catalysts in soot combustion. Effects of coexistence components are very important in the catalytic reaction of the soot. The soot oxidation rate of a few catalysts are improved by water vapor and NOx in the ambient. There are only a few reports available on the mechanism of the PM (particulate matter) oxidation on the catalysts. The mechanism of PM oxidation in the catalytic systems that meet new emission regulations of diesel engines has yet to be investigated. Future research will focus on catalysts that can not only oxidize PM at low temperature, but also reduce NOx, continuously self-cleaning diesel particulate filters, and selective catalysts for NOx reduction.

Among multicomponent nanostructures, hybrid nanocatalysts consisting of metal nanoparticle-semiconductor junctions offer an interesting platform to study the role of metal-oxide interfaces and hot electron flows in heterogeneous catalysis. In this study, we report that hot carriers generated upon photon absorption significantly impact the catalytic activity of CO oxidation. We found that Pt-CdSe-Pt nanodumbbells exhibited a higher turnover frequency by a factor of two during irradiation by light with energy higher than the bandgap of CdSe, while the turnover rate on bare Pt nanoparticles didn't depend on light irradiation. We also found that Pt nanoparticles deposited on a GaN substrate under light irradiation exhibit changes in catalytic activity of CO oxidation that depends on the type of doping of the GaN. We suppose that hot electrons are generated upon the absorption of photons by the semiconducting nanorods or substrates, whereafter the hot electrons are injected into the Pt nanoparticles, resulting in the change in catalytic activity. We discuss the possible mechanism for how hot carrier flows generated during light irradiation affect the catalytic activity of CO oxidation.

The catalytic activities of palladium(0,Ⅰ,Ⅱ)-diphosphine complexes were investigated in styrene oxidation using H2O2 as terminal oxidant. The rates showed a dependence on the chelate ring patterns of complexes (PdCl2L); 5-membered ring (L=dppe: 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) < 6-membered ring (L=dppp: 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane) < 4-membered ring (L= dppm: bis(diphenylphosphino)methane). This sequence correlates with the ligand field strength and interactions between metal and phosphine ligands. Pd(Ⅱ,Ⅰ)-diphosphine complexes which are capable of making 4-membered chelate ring showed an enhancement of catalytic activities for styrene oxidation. The catalytic activities of Pd(0,Ⅰ,Ⅱ)-diphosphine complexes are described in terms of electronic and steric factors.

본 연구에서는 배가스 내 존재하는 비교적 처리가 어려운 오염물질인 NO 기체에 대하여 처리효율을 증대시키기 위하여 NO 산화공정이 필요하며, 이에 필요한 건식산화제를 제조하는 방법으로 H₂O₂ 촉매분해가 도입되었다. H₂O₂ 분해공정 상에서 적용 가능한 촉매로서 다양한 Mn 기반의 불균일계 고체 산 촉매들이 제조되었으며, 이들이 지니는 물리화학적 특성이 주로 H₂O₂ 분해반응에 미치는 영향이 조사되었다. 그 결과, Mn 기반의 고체산 촉매들이 지니는 산점 특성이 H₂O₂ 촉매분해에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었으며, 산점이 낮은 온도영역에서 많은 양의 산점의 특성을 지니는 촉매가 H₂O₂ 분해반응에서 가장 높은 성능을 나타냄과 동시에 제조된 건식산화제로 인해 높은 NO 산화율을 나타내었다. 대표적인 결과로서 K 성분이 첨가된 Mn 기반의 Fe₂O₃ 지지체 촉매가 적용될 경우, 가장 높은 H₂O₂ 분해효율과 더불어 가장 높은 NO 전환율을 나타내었다.

Oxidative TCE decomposition over $TiO_2$-supported single and complex metal oxide catalysts has been conducted using a continuous flow type fixed-bed reactor system. Different types of commercial $TiO_2$ were used for obtaining the supported catalysts via an incipient wetness technique. Among a variety of titanias and metal oxides used, a DT51D $TiO_2\;and\;CrO_x$ would be the respective promising support and active ingredient for the oxidative TCE decomposition. The $TiO_2-based\;CrO_x$ catalyst gave a significant dependence of the catalytic activity in TCE oxidation reaction on the metal loadings. The use of high $CrO_x$ contents for preparing $CrO_x/TiO_2$ catalysts might produce $Cr_2O_3$ crystallites on the surface of $TiO_2$, thereby decreasing catalytic performance in the oxidative decomposition at low reaction temperatures. Supported $CrO_x$-based bimetallic oxide systems offered a very useful approach to lower the $CrO_x$ amounts without any loss in their catalytic activity for the catalytic TCE oxidation and to minimize the formation of Cl-containing organic products in the course of the catalytic reaction.

Catalytic combustion of toluene was investigated on $CuOx/SnO_2-ZrO_2\;CuOx/SnO_2\;CuOx/ZrO_2$ catalysts prepared by impregnation. Characteristics of catalysts loaded on binary support and single support were observed by TPR, TPO, XRD, XPS techniques. The results on catalytic combustion showed that binary supports improve the activity of copper in the combustion of toluene. The reason for high catalytic activity on toluene combustion of $CuOx/SnO_2-ZrO_2$ catalyst was ascribed to oxidation$\cdot$reduction activity at low temperatures and stability of oxidation state after reduction.

Catalytic wet oxidation of ethylene glycol as refractory compound was studied in a batch slurry reactor using lwt% $Pt/A1_2O_3$, lwt% $Pt/TiO_2,\;Mn/CeO_2$(1:1) and 5wt% $Mn/Al_2O_3$. Experiments were conducted to investigate theeffects of temperature, initial ethylene glycol concentration, catalyst dosage and PH on the ethylene glycol decomposition. When compared with the uncatalyzed reaction, the use of catalysts could increase the rate of ethylene glycol decomposition. The lwt% $Pt/A1_2O_3$ catalyst was preferable to the other catalysts for the destructive oxidation of ethylene glycol. The reaction rate was first order with respect to initial concentration of ethylene glycol. In acidic condition the removal efficiency of ethylene glycol was good, but there was a significant leaching of platinum. Small amount of acetic acid, oxalic acid, masonic acid and formic acid as intermediates were detected during catalytic wet air oxidation of ethylene glycol.

석탄화력발전소로부터 배출되는 질소산화물(NO + NO₂ = NO_x)은 NH₃를 환원제로 사용하여 선택적으로 환원시키는 SCR(selective catalytic reduction) 탈질촉매시스템에서 효과적으로 제거될 수 있다. 이 SCR 촉매공정에서 원소수은을 산화시켜 후속공정에서 제거하기 위하여 수많은 산화촉매들이 제안되었으나 MW급 석탄연소시설이나 상업운전 중인 석탄발전소 탈질시스템에서 원소수은 산화성능을 실증한 사례들은 매우 드물다. 실배가스에서 수행한 실증연구들을 심층적으로 조사·분석한 바는 기존 SCR 탈질촉매뿐 아니라 수은산화능을 향상시킨 신촉매의 원소수은 산화활성은 석탄연소, 실배가스 등의 특성에 따라 매우 복잡한 양상을 띤다는 점이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 석탄연소시설에 사용하는 원료탄, 탈질시스템과 실증조건이 원소수은 산화능에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 핵심 요소이다. 특히, 원료탄에 함유된 할로겐 함량은 탈질촉매공정의 중요성을 넘어서는 것으로 보여진다. 석탄에 존재하는 대표적인 할로겐 성분은 Cl, Br과 F이고 이들 중에서 Cl이 지배적이며 다른 할로겐계처럼 염으로 존재하지만 석탄연소 과정에서 미량의 Cl₂와 함께 HCl로 전환된다. 이러한 HCl은 원소수은 산화에 있어서 강력한 산화제로 작용하지만 석탄마다 Cl 함량이 다르기 때문에 HCl 농도 또한 강하게 의존한다.

The catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which were benzene and toluene, was studied in the supercritical carbon dioxide($SC-CO_2$) media. In $SC-CO_2$ media, the deep oxidation conversion of VOCs was increased with the temperature and pressure. The deep oxidation conversion in SC -$CO_2$ media is better than that in air media at same pressure condition. This can be explained by the solubility of VOCs in $SC-CO_2$. The many intermediates produced by the partial oxidation of VOCs were detected from off-line samples. The intermediates were Identified as benzene, toluene, benzaldehyde, phenol, naphthalene, 1,1`-biphenyl, benzoic acid, 3-methylphenol, 1,1'-(1,2-ethanediyl)bis- benzene, 1,1'-(1,2-ethene- diyl)bis-benzene, anthracene, and so on. The amount of intermediates was decreased as the molar radio of oxygen to carbon dioxide was decreased. When the molar ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide was 1 : 16, the deep conversion was kept constant. Thus, the catalytic oxidation process in $SC-CO_2$ media can be combined on-line with supercritical fluid extraction of environmental matrices and supercritical regeneration of used adsorbent. Thus, the nontoxic $SC-CO_2$ media process was suggested as the new VOCs control technology.

Modern passenger cars with diesel engines are equipped with DOC(diesel oxidation catalyst) for the purpose of reducing HC and CO in the exhaust stream. Cold start exhaust emissions pose troubles here as on gasoline engine vehicles. As a result, some of the diesel passenger cars roll off todays the assembly lines with WCC(warm-up catalytic converter). Oxidation characteristics of the particulates in WCC is analyzed in this study by EEPS(engine exhaust particulate size spectrometer). The maximum number of PM is found to come out of WCC in sizes near 10nm when an HSDI diesel engine is operated under the conditions of high speed and medium to heavy load. When the temperature of the WCC exceeds $300^{\circ}C$, the number of PM smaller than 30 nm in diameter sharply increases upon passing through the WCC. Total mass of emitted PM gets reduced downstream of the WCC under low speed and light load conditions due to adsorption of PM onto the catalyst. Under conditions of high speed and medium to heavy load, the relatively large PM shrink or break into fine particles during oxidation process within the WCC, which results in more mass fraction of fine particles downstream of the WCC.
