대부분의 LNT 촉매는 낮은 온도 영역에서의 NO_x 산화를 위하여 Pt와 같은 귀금속류를 사용하는 것은 경제적인 부담을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 시도되었다. 즉, Pt, Pd, Rh 등과 같은 귀금속류(platinum group metal, PGM)를 사용하지 않는 LNT (lean NO_x trap)용 DeNO_x 촉매를 개발하기 위해 시도하였다. 이를 위해서 예비실험을 통해 Pt등 귀금속류등의 PGM (platinum group metal)을 사용하지 않는 Al/Co/Ni 혼합 금속 산화물을 선정하였다. 궁극적으로는, 선정된 촉매의 소성온도에 따른 물리화학적 특성 변화가 NO_x 전환율에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이들의 물리화학적인 성질을 평가하기 위해 XRD, EDS, SEM, BET 분석을 실시하였다. 이러한 평가를 실시한 결과, 모든 소성온도에서 혼합금속 산화물은 Co₂AlO₄ 및 NiAl₂O₄의 스피넬 구조가 혼재되어 있는 것으로 나타났고, NO_x 기체들의 산화-환원 반응이 이루어지기에는 충분한 기공부피와 기공크기를 갖고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 NH₃-TPD 분석 결과에서는 소성온도가 700 ℃ 이하를 유지해야 하는 것으로 판단되었다. 더욱이 ramp test를 통해서는 NO 및 NO_x 전환율을 동시에 만족할 수 있는 시료는 소성온도는 500 ℃에서 처리된 경우임을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과 등을 바탕으로, Al/Co/Ni=1.0/2.5/0.3 혼합 금속 산화물의 최적 소성온도는 500 ℃임을 알 수 있었다.

친환경자동차의 보급 확대를 위한 정책수립과 기술개발이 지속적으로 이루어지고 있는 실정이나 아직까지도 내연기관이 차지하는 비중은 약 95% 차지하고 있다. 화석연료를 기반으로 하는 내연기관의 엄격한 배기가스규제를 충족시키기 위해 자동차와 선박용 후처리장치의 비중이 점차로 증가하고 있다. 이 연구는 CNG 버스의 post Euro-VI 배기대응을 위한 기초연구로써, Pd 대체 전이금속 영향, 촉매 체적 영향 그리고 공간속도에 따른 기초 특성을 파악하는 것이다. 촉매는 제조되었고 모델가스반응장치로 실험하였다. 3Pd가 포함된 NGOC 촉매는 $300^{\circ}C$에서 22%, $350^{\circ}C$에서 48% 그리고 $500^{\circ}C$에서 약 75%의 $CH_4$ 저감 능력을 나타내며 촉매 활성이 가장 높았다. 전이금속 3wt%가 포함된 3Co NGOC는 산화능력이 우수한 물질로써, 2nm급의 작은 사이즈로 촉매 분산도가 향상되어 de-NO/CO 전환율이 높았다. NGOC+LNT+SCR 촉매시스템의 체적은 $De-CH_4/NOx$ 성능과 촉매비용을 고려할 때 Total score가 165를 나타낸 1.5+0.5+0.5 조합이 최적이었다. SV $14,000h^{-1}$일 경우 $CH_4$ 저감 성능은 약 20% 수준으로 가장 높았고, SV $56,000h^{-1}$의 경우가 약 5% 수준으로 가장 낮았다. 공간속도가 작으면 유속이 감소하여 촉매 체적에 잔류하는 시간이 길어지므로 유해가스가 저감되었기 때문이다.

The catalytic activity of Ni-0.2%YSZ (Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia) with different promoters was evaluated for $CO_2$ methanation. The catalysts were weighed for mixing and they were dried at $110^{\circ}C$ for molding into disks. The concentration of $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ for conducting of $CO_2$ methanation were analyzed by gas chromatography and the physical characteristics of the disk-type catalyst formed were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer. The addition of $CeO_2$ as a promoter for Ni-0.2%YSZ (denoted as Ni-5%Ce-0.2%YSZ) resulted in the highest $CO_2$ methanation. It also showed catalytic activity at a low temperature($200^{\circ}C$). Following this, $ZrO_2$, $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$ and $TiO_2$ were added to Ni-5%Ce-0.2%YSZ to compare the $CO_2$ methanation, and the highest efficiency was found for. Ni-1%Ti-5%Ce-0.2%YSZ Then, the concentration of Ti was increased to 10% and the catalytic activity was estimated using seven different types of commercial $TiO_2$. In conclusion, ST-01 $TiO_2$ showed the highest efficiency for $CO_2$ methanation.

The recycling technology by the catalytic conversion is one of the most promising techniques for the $CO_2$ treatment of coal burning power plant flue gases. The conversion of $CO_2$ to valuable product of $CH_4$ can be used as a fuel to run the turbine for electricity generation. Through this technique, the amount of coal needed for the combustion in a gas turbine can be reduced as well as $CO_2$ emissions. Therefore, a series of catalysts based on cerium oxide doped with copper, nickel and manganese were prepared by impregnation method. From the characterization analysis, it showed that the prepared catalysts calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ were amorphous in structure with small particle size in the range below 100 nm. Meanwhile, the catalyst particles were aggregated and agglomerated with higher surface area of $286.70m^2g^{-1}$. By increasing the calcination temperature of catalysts to $1000^{\circ}C$, the particle sizes were getting bigger (> 100 nm) and having moderate crystallinity with lower surface area ($67.90m^2g^{-1}$). From the catalytic testing among all the prepared catalysts, Mn/Ce-75/$Al_2O_3$ calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ was assigned as the most potential catalyst which gave 49.05% and 56.79% $CO_2$ conversion at reaction temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ and $200^{\circ}C$, respectively.

A three-way catalyst system of a natural gas vehicle (NGV) has characteristics of higher fuel consumption and higher thermal load than a lean-bum catalyst system. To meet stringent emission standards in the future, NGV with the lean-bum engine may need a catalyst system to reduce the amounts of HC, CO and NOx emission, although natural gas system has low emission characteristics. We conducted experiments to evaluate the conversion efficiency of the NOx reduction catalyst for the lean-burn natural gas engine. The NOx reduction catalysts were prepared with the ${\gamma}-Al_{2}O_3$ washcoat including Ba based on Pt, Pd and Rh precious metal. In the experiments, effective parameters were space velocity, spike duration of the rich condition, and the temperature of flowing model gas. From the results of the experiments, we found that the temperature for maximum NOx reduction was around $450^{\circ}C$, and the space velocity for optimum NOx reduction was around $30,000\;h^{-1}$ And we developed an evaluation model of the NOx reduction catalyst to evaluate the conversion performance of each other catalysts.

Various types of NOx storage catalysts for NGV's were designed, manufactured, and tested in this work on a model gas test bench. As in most of other studies on NOx storage catalyst, alkaline earth metal barium(Ba) was used as the NOx adsorbing substance. The barium-based experimental catalysts were designed to contain different amounts of Ba and precious metals at various ratios. Reaction tests were performed to investigate the NOx storage capacity and the NOx conversion efficiency of the experimental catalysts. From the results, it was found that when Ba loading of a catalyst was increased, the quantity of NOx stored in the catalyst increased in the high temperature range over 350. With more Ba deposition, the NOx conversion efficiency as well as its peak value increased in the high temperature range, but decreased in the low temperature range. The best of de-NOx catalyst tested in this study was catalyst B, which was loaded with 42.8 g/L of Ba in addition to Pt, Pd and Rh in the ratio of 7:7:1. In the low temperature range under $450^{\circ}C$, the NOx conversion efficiencies of the catalysts were lower when $CH_4$, instead of either $C_3H_6$ or $C_3H_8$, was used as the reductant.

Different oxidation treatments on CNTs using diluted 4.0 M $H_2SO_4$ solution at room temperature and or at $90^{\circ}C$ reflux conditions were investigated to elucidate the physical and chemical changes occurring on the treated CNTs, which might have significant effects on their performance as catalyst supports in PEM fuel cells. Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope analyses were made for the acid treated CNTs to determine the particle size and distribution of the CNT-supported Pt-Ru nanoparticles. These CNT-supported Pt-based nanoparticles were then employed as anode catalysts in PEMFC to investigate their catalytic activity and single-cell performance towards $H_2$ oxidation. Based on PEMFC performance results, refluxed Pt-Ru/CNT catalysts prepared using CNTs treated at $90^{\circ}C$ for 0.5 h as anode have shown better catalytic activity and PEMFC polarization performance than those of the commercially available Pt-Ru/C catalyst from ETEK and other Pt-Ru/CNT catalysts developed using raw CNT, thus demonstrating the importance of acid treatment in improving and optimizing the surface properties of catalyst support.

본 연구에서는 Fischer-Tropsch 반응에서 Fe계 촉매의 환원조건과 Cu, K의 첨가에 대한 영향을 연속흐름 반응기를 통하여 살펴보았다. 반응을 위해 촉매는 균일상 침전에 의한 초기 습식함침법으로 제조하였으며 XRD, TPR, SEM 등의 기기를 통해 $Al_2O_3$에 담지 된 Fe 촉매에 대한 물리화학적 특성을 분석하였다. 216 h의 장시간 반응운전을 통해 Fe/Cu/K 촉매의 활성과 안정성에 대하여 조사하였다. $H_2$와 CO의 혼합물로 촉매를 환원시키면 촉매의 활성이 향상되었는데, 이는 촉매의 표면에 iron carbides가 형성되기 때문인 것으로 XRD 분석을 통해 확인되었다. 촉매에 Cu가 첨가되면 촉매의 환원성 향상으로 인하여 반응이 빠르게 안정되어 정상상태에 일찍 도달하였다. K를 첨가하게 되면 CO의 전화율은 향상되지만 함량을 5%까지 올리면 촉매의 물리적 안정성이 감소되었다. Fe/Cu (5%)/K (1%) 촉매로 Fischer-Tropsch 반응을 수행한 결과 120 h 이후에 약 15% 정도 CO의 전화율이 감소되었으나 장기간 안정된 반응을 수행할 수 있었다.

Simulated waste-derived synthesis gas has been tested for hydrogen production through water-gas shift (WGS) reaction over supported Cu catalysts prepared by co-precipitation method. $CeO_2$, $ZrO_2$, MgO, and $Al_2O_3$ were employed as supports for WGS reaction in this study. $Cu-CeO_2$ catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity as well as 100% $CO_2$ selectivity for WGS in severe conditions ($GHSV=40,206h^{-1}$ and CO concentration = 38.0%). In addition, $Cu-CeO_2$ catalyst showed stable CO conversion for 20h without detectable catalyst deactivation. The high activity and stability of $Cu-CeO_2$ catalyst are correlated to its easier reducibility, high oxygen mobility/storage capacity of $CeO_2$.
