Among the recent research ideas to reduce hydrocarbon emissions emitted from SI engines till light-off of catalyst since cold start are those exploiting non-thermal plasma technique and photo-catalyst that draws recent attention by virtue of its successful application to practical use to clean up the atmosphere using the feature of its relative independence on temperature. Based on the previous research results obtained with model exhaust gases using an experimental emissions reduction system that utilizes the non-thermal plasma and photo-catalyst technique, further investigation was conducted on a production N/A 1.5 liter DOHC engine during cold start to warm-up. For the effects of non-thermal plasma-photocatalyst combined reactor, 10% concentration reduction was achieved with the fuel component paraffins, and the large increase in non-fuel paraffinic components and acetylene concentrations were similar to those of base condition. However the absolute value was locally a bit higher than those of base condition since the products was made from the dissociation and decomposition of highly branched paraffins by plasma-photocatalyst reactor. Olefinic components were highly decomposed by about 75%, due to these excellent decompositions of olefins which have relatively high MIR values, and the SR value was 1.87 that is 30% reduction from that of base condition, then, the photochemical reactivity was lowered.

HCCI 엔진은 배출가스 중 PM과 NOx 가 저감되나, 일반적으로 상용디젤 엔진보다 HC, CO 가 증가하는 특성을 보인다. 특히 과도한 HC 에서 발생하는 SOF 로 인해 total PM 에 영향을 미친다. 이는 HCCI 엔진에서 DOC 를 통한 HC 저감이 중요하며 HC 의 정화성능이 우수한 OC 의 개발이 필요하다. 실험은 모델가스를 이용하여 2Pt/1Pd 의 충전량이 다른 3 종의 OC(600cpsi cordierite)를 가지고 수행하였다. OC 에서 HC, SV, $H_2O$, $O_2$의 조건을 달리하여 OC 성능특성을 $LOT_{50}$에서 평가하였다. 그 결과 CO 는 $170^{\circ}C$에서 3 종의 촉매 모두 90% 이상의 정화특성을 나타내었고 Pd 가 충전 된 OC 는 열화 된 후 Pt 만충전 된 OC 보다 우수한 내구특성을 나타내었다. Fresh 와 aged 된 OC 에서 SV 의 증가 및 $H_2O$의 반응참여는 $LOT_{50}$성능이 낮아지는 결과를 나타내었다.

The combustion purpose of diesel engine is to reduce the emission of green gas and to produce high output. Generally, the regulation matter of emission gas is largely diveded by 'THC', 'NOx', 'CO' and 'PM'. Among those matters, the most problem is to disgorge into 'PM', the character of diesel combustion. Diesel PM can be controlled using Diesel Particulate Filter, which can effectively reduce the level of soot emissions to ambient background levels. $NO_2$ generated by the DOC is used to combust the carbon collected in the DPF at low temperature. To certificate DPF device that is suitable to domestic circumstances, it is necessary to exactly evaluate the DPF devices according to the regulation of DPF certificate test procedure fur retrofit. To do carry out the above-mentioned description the understanding of that regulation like the standard of PM reduction is needed. In this study the test procedure including test cycle and BPT test condition was examined, and also the test result for specific DPF was analyzed. In every test like field test, PM reduction efficiency test and Seoul-10 mode test, no defect was showed.

The combustion characteristics of the hybrid catalytic(catalytic+thermal) combustor with a lean methane-air mixture on platinum catalyst were investigated numerically using a 2-D boundary layer model with detailed homogeneous and heterogeneous chemistries. for the more accurate calculations, the actual surface site density of monolith coated with platinum was decided by the comparison with experimental data. It was found that the homogeneous reactions in the monolith had little effect on the change of temperature profile, methane conversion rate and light off location. However, the radicals such as OH and CO were produced rapidly at exit by homogeneous reactions. The effect of operation conditions such as equivalence ratio, temperature, velocity, pressure and diameter of the monolith channel at the entrance were studied. In thermal combustor, the production of N$_2$O was more dominant than that of NO due to the relative importance of the reaction N$_2$+O(+M)→N$_2$O(+M). Finally the productions of CO and NOx by amount of methane addition were studied.

One of the major engine thermal management system(TMS) strategies for improving fuel economy is to operate the engine in high temperatures. Therefore, this work performed a numerical and experimental study to examine the effect of several different STOs(Starting Temperature of Opening) of wax-thermostat, ranging from $85^{\circ}C$ to $105^{\circ}C$, of gasoline engine on fuel economy and emission characteristics. In this study, a gasoline car equipped with waxthermostat was tested and simulated under FTP-75 and HWFET mode. CRUISE $M^{TM}$ was used to simulate vehicle dynamics, transient engine performance and TMS. The test results showed fuel savings for both drive cycles due to higher STO of $100^{\circ}C$, which is slightly worse than that of $90^{\circ}C$ and amounts between 0.34 and 0.475 %. These controversial results are attributed to experimental errors and uncertainty. The computational results for three STOs, $85^{\circ}C$, $95^{\circ}C$ and $105^{\circ}C$, showed that fuel savings attributed to the application of higher STOs of $95^{\circ}C$ and $105^{\circ}C$ are relatively small and range from 0.306 to 0.363 %. It is also found that the amount of HC and CO emissions from the tailpipe tends to decrease with higher engine coolant temperature because of faster catalyst light-off and improved combustion.

Exhaust emissions from vehicles are the main source of air pollution. Many researchers are trying to find the way of reducing vehicle emissions, especially in the cold transient period of the FTP-75 test. In this study, UEGI (Unburned Exhaust Gas Ignition) technology, warming up the close-coupled catalytic converter (CCC) by igniting the unburned exhaust mixture using two glow plugs installed in the upstream of the catalyst, was developed. It was applied to an exhaust system with a hydrocarbon adsorber to ensure an effective reduction of HC emission during the cold start period. Results showed that the CCC reaches the light-off temperature (LOT) in a shorter time compared with the baseline exhaust system, and HC and CO emissions are reduced significantly during the cold start.

알루미나에 담지한 귀금속 촉매를 이용하여 1.2-dichloroethane의 산화분해반응을 수행하였다. 실험결과 전환율은 Ru > Pt > Pd $${\sim_=}$$ Rh 순으로 높게 나타났으나, 완전산화 반응이 일어날 때의 주생성물인 $CO_2$로의 전환율 및 선택도를 기준으로 활성을 비교할 때 Pt/alumina가 Ru/alumina보다 활성이 높게 나타났다. $CO_2$ 및 vinyl chloride가 반응 주생성물로 검출되었는데, 반응 생성물 분포로부터 1.2-dichloroethane의 분해반응 경로는 1단계로 dehydrochlorination에 의해 vinyl chloride가 생성된 후 2단계로 vinyl chloride가 $CO_2$로 oxidation됨을 알 수 있었다. 염소를 포함하고 있는 반응 주생성물인 HCl의 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 반응물에 HCl을 첨가하여 반응을 수행하였는데 $300^{\circ}C$ 이하에서는 HCl이 촉매 표면에 흡착함에 따라 표면의 산도를 증가시켜 1.2-dichloroethane의 전환율은 증가하지만 $300^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 HCl과 촉매 표면과의 상호작용이 약해져 전환율에는 큰 영향을 주지 않았다. 또한 촉매 표면에 가역적으로 흡착된 HCl은 1.2-dichloroethane의 $CO_2$로의 완전산화 반응을 방해함을 확인하였다.

The catalytic activity of $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts for the oxidation of toluene and toluene+xylene mixture was investigated in the microreactor of fixed-bed type. The calcination temperatures and loadings of $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts played the important role in the activity of catalysts for the oxidation of toluene. The increasing calcination temperatures and loadings of $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts increased the crystallite size of the platinum to result in the higher oxidation activity of catalysts. The catalytic activity for the toluene oxidation over $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts turned out to be increasing in the order of $500^{\circ}C\;<\;800^{\circ}C<600^{\circ}C\;<\;700^{\circ}C$ for calcination temperatures and 0.1 wt% < 0.3 wt% < 1.0 wt% for platinum loadings, respectively. The 1.0 wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts calcined at $700^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs in the air showed the highest activity for the oxidation of the toluene. The decrease of oxidation activity of $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts calcined at $800^{\circ}C$ might result from the decrease of active sites by sintering of platinum metals as well as ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ supports. The 1.0wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst showed the activity from the lower temperature at $120^{\circ}C$, reached the light-off temperature ($T_{50%}$) at $180^{\circ}C$, and leveled off its activity at $340^{\circ}C$ with the conversion of 100% 'Mutual promotion' effects were observed for the binary mixture of toluene and xylene. The activity of the easy-to-oxidize toluene was slightly increased with the existence of the xylene. It might suggest the different mechanism for the oxidation of toluene and xylene on the $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts on different sites, and its reaction of gaseous oxygen.

플라스틱 작품은 다양한 환경조건에 따라 갈라짐, 색변화, 백화현상 등 재질손상이 급속하게 발생될 수 있다. 특히 현대예술작품 중 대형 플라스틱 작품의 경우 옥외에 전시되는 경우가 많으며, 이에 강한 햇빛과 높은 습도, 강우 등 물리적, 화학적 손상 요인에 지속적으로 노출되어 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 polypropylene(PP), polystyrene(PS), polyetylene(PE), polyvinyl chloride(PVC), polyurethane(PU)의 5가지 범용 플라스틱 표준 재료를 고온, 자외선, 그리고 고온 및 자외선 복합 조건에 노출시킴으로써 환경조건에 따른 플라스틱 종류별 열화 양상을 평가하였다. 그 결과 인공열화에 따른 PP, PS, PE에서 육안 변화가 크게 나타났으며 특히 PP, PS는 가장 큰 색차가 발생하였다. 인장강도와 표면접촉각 측정결과 PP는 큰 변화가 없었고 PS는 가장 많이 감소되는 것을 확인하였다. 광열화에 가장 취약한 재질은 PP와 PS, 내광성이 가장 좋은 재질은 PVC와 PU로 확인되었다. 또한 열화 조건 중 자외선 조건과 고온 및 자외선 복합 조건에서 가장 심한 열화 정도가 확인되었다. 이는 자외선은 직접적 열화 조건으로 작용하였으며 고온의 경우 플라스틱 결합에너지를 끊을 만한 충분한 에너지가 되지 못하기 때문에 순수한 열적에너지로서의 열화 조건보다는 열화 촉매로서 작용한 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 결과는 향후 플라스틱 작품의 재질별 손상원인을 규명하고 보존방안 수립을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
