Effects of water vapor, hydrocarbons, and CO, which are inevitably included in exhaust gases of combustion, on a combined $De-NO_{x}$ process of non-thermal plasma and $NH_{3}$ SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) have been investigated. Test results showed that fast SCR reaction enhanced $De-NO_{x}$ rate under the low temperature conditions, $150{\sim}200^{\circ}C$ The present test, however, showed that the role of the fast SCR reaction can be significantly suppressed by addition of hydrocarbons in a non-thermal plasma reactor. Detailed investigation verified that such suppressed role of the fast SCR reaction could be caused by the $NO_{2}/NO_{x}$ ratio modified by aldehydes produced from hydrocarbons in a non-thermal plasma reactor. In addition, the present study was confirmed that the effects of water vapor and CO were not noticeable compared with the hydrocarbon effects.

Natural gas is a promising alternative fuel to meet strict engine emission regulations in many countries. Natural gas engines can operate at lean burn and stoichiometric burn conditions with different combustion and emission characteristics. In this paper, the fuel economy, emissions, misfire, knock and cycle-to-cycle variations in indicated mean effective pressure of lean burn natural gas engines are highlighted. Stoichiometric burn natural gas engines are briefly reviewed. To keep the output power and torque of natural gas engines comparable to that of gasoline engines, high boosting pressure should be used. High activity catalyst for methane oxidation and lean deNOx system or three way catalyst with precisely control strategies should be developed to meet stringent emission standards.

In this experimental study we proposed the double dielectric barrier discharge (DDBD) reactor to produce as high an electric field as possible. The experiment are conducted for applied voltage from 15 to 20[kV], $1~4[\ell/min]$ of gas flow rate and 120[Hz] and 240[Hz] of pulse rate. Superposition discharge(SPD) generated in DDBD which combined the surface discharge with the silence discharge was the most effective to reduce the $NO_x$. In the decomposition efficiency per watt, the low pulse rate gave better efficiency than the high pulse rate. However in DeNOx rate, the high pulse rate gave better performance than the low pulse rate. $NO_x$ removal rate and efficiency increased with increasing the applied voltage in all reactors.

In the low pressure selective catalytic reduction (LP SCR) system, the uniformity of both ammonia concentration and exhaust gas flow at the SCR catalyst layer are important design factor for the efficient SCR-deNOx performance. According to the shape of the guide vane and static mixer, numerical simulations were conducted to analyze flow patterns and finally to find out the appropriate alternative for uniform flow at the front of catalyst in the real scale LP SCR reactor. The variations of gas velocity and ammonia concentration were quantitatively evaluated. Based on the present results, the shape was devised to satisfy the design criteria.

Selective catalytic reduction(SCR) catalysts are obtained from de-NOx system of thermoelectric power plant. A process was developed for valuable metals such as vanadium and tungsten recovery from spent SCR catalyst by using soda roasting followed by water leaching. Spent SCR catalyst having $V_2O_5$(1.23 mass %) and $WO_3$(7.73 mass %). For getting soluble metal forms of the targeted metals like vanadium and tungsten soda roasting process was implemented. In soda roasting process, sodium carbonate added 5 equivalent ratio at roasted temperature $850^{\circ}C$ with 120 min roasted time for $544{\mu}m$ particle size of spent SCR catalyst. After soda roasting process moved to water leaching for roasted spent catalyst. Before leaching process the roasted spent catalyst was grinded up to $-45{\mu}m$ size. The leaching time is 30 min at $40^{\circ}C$ temperature, 10 % pulp density. The final leaching efficiency obtained 46 % of vanadium and 92 % of tungsten from present process.

The feed air to MSW incinerator influences on the residence time of combustion gas, removal of unburnt ash and exiting gas temperature. Thus the secondary air volume could present sufficient residence time which can maintain the exiting temperature over $850^{\circ}C$. The secondary air also relates directly with the turbulence in the inside of combustion chamber, which finally provide the stable combustion condition. The present study designed a modern incinerator for a field scale, and evaluation of the potential amount of primary air based on the daily combustible quantity. From the evaluated primary air volume, the secondary air flow rate could be estimated, and its dynamic behavior was verified. In addition, the obtained air volume enables to find an optimum operation condition of the combustion. As a result of the CFD simulation, the air ratio 75 : 25 between primary and secondary air amount was optimum ratio than design criteria 72 : 28. And the flow velocity ratio of front-back of secondary air jet nozzle was found excellent at 1 : 3. In addition, the result of applied to the plant, the removal efficiency of NOx and CO generation would concentration of CO.

Dye waste water generated in the dye industry is categorized as hazardous waste water that requires appropriate treatment. The pilot scale experimental trials were carried out using dye waste water as an effective additive for the selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) of NOx in combustion flue gases. The additives were waste liquor obtained from the dye industry and several purification steps were taken to make a standardized reagents. The dye waste water was shown to possess valuable SNCR qualities (at least 87% NOx reduction efficiency) considering its availability as a waste product, which has to be strictly treated, and have little effects on CO removal. The results indicated that the NO removal efficiency increased first and then decreased with increasing temperature within $750-1150^{\circ}C$. The maximum NO reduction efficiency was approximately 87% at the optimal reaction temperature. A more than 10% increase in NO reduction was achieved in the presence of 1000 ppm Na-additives (dye waste water) compared to that without additives. The Na-based additives have also a significant promoting effect on $N_2O$ reduction and within the SNCR temperature window.

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is widely used as a method of removing nitrogen oxide in large-capacity thermal power generation systems. Uniform mixing of the injected ammonia and the inlet flue gas is very important to the performance of the denitrification reduction process in the catalyst bed. In the present study, a computational analysis technique was applied to the ammonia injection system design process of a denitrification facility. The applied model is the denitrification facility of an 800 MW class coal-fired power plant currently in operation. The flow field to be solved ranges from the inlet of the ammonia injection system to the end of the catalyst bed. The flow was analyzed in the two-dimensional domain assuming incompressible. The steady-state turbulent flow was solved with the commercial software named ANSYS-Fluent. The nozzle arrangement gap and injection flow rate in the ammonia injection system were chosen as the design parameters. A total of four (4) cases were simulated and compared. The root mean square of the NH3/NO molar ratio at the inlet of the catalyst layer was chosen as the optimization parameter and the design of the experiment was used as the base of the optimization algorithm. The case where the nozzle pitch and flow rate were adjusted at the same time was the best in terms of flow uniformity.

An experimental study on a combined $De-NO_x$ process of non-thermal plasma and $NH_{3}$ SCR, which can be operated under low temperature conditions, i.e. $150{\sim}200^{\circ}C$, has been conducted. The test results confirmed feasibility of fast SCR reaction, which shows faster reactivity compared with typical SCR reaction under the low temperature conditions. The test showed that pre-oxidation step to convert NO to $NO_2$ is necessary for the fast SCR reaction, and the appropriate ratio of $NO_{2}/NO_{x}$ ranges from 0.3 to 0.5. Ammonium salts produced under low temperature conditions, effects of hydrocarbons on the combined process, the operation power of the process are discussed in the present study.
