본 연구에서는 촉매공정의 질소산화물 제거 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 배기가스에 오존을 주입하였다. 배기가스에 오존을 주입하면 배기가스에 포함되어 있는 NO의 일부가 $NO_2$로 빠르게 산화되며, NO와 $NO_2$ 혼합물은 촉매반응기에서 $N_2$로 환원된다. 오존의 발생을 위해 유전체 장벽 방전 반응기가 사용되었고 촉매로는 상용 $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ 촉매가 사용되었다. 질소산화물의 환원제는 암모니아였다. 촉매반응기 전단의 $NO_2$ 함량은 오존 주입량에 의해 변화될 수 있었으며, $NO_2$ 함량 변화가 촉매의 질소산화물 저감성능에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보았다. $NO_2$ 함량이 촉매반응기의 성능에 미치는 영향은 다양한 조건에서 수행되었는데, 주요 변수로 선정한 것은 반응온도, 초기 $NO_x$ 농도, 암모니아 농도, 그리고 배기가스 유량이었다. 오존주입에 의한 $NO_2$ 함량 증가는 촉매공정의 질소산화물 제거 성능을 크게 향상시킬 수 있었으며, 이러한 성능 향상 효과는 반응온도가 낮을수록 두드러졌다. 본 연구의 오존 주입 방법은 기존 촉매 공정의 개선에 크게 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 하이드로퍼옥시 라디칼 생성단계에서 반응 부산물로 생성되는 과산화수소를 정량하여 수산화라디칼의 생성 및 비스페놀 A (BPA)의 분해특성을 조사하였다. 라디칼 연쇄반응이 일어나지 않는 조건에서는 Criegee mechanism과 동일하게 오존에 의한 직접산화반응만이 BPA를 분해시키는 것으로 나타났다. 라디칼 연쇄반응이 일어나는 pH 6.5 및 9.5의 조건에서는 비선택적 산화반응이 일어나 수산화라디칼의 생성을 간접적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 투입된 촉매에 의한 BPA의 분해효율은 $O_3$/PAC ${\geq}$ $O_3/H_2O_2$ > $O_3$/high pH > $O_3$ alone 공정 순으로 나타났다. 오존/촉매공정들의 산화반응 동안에는 0.03~0.08 mM의 과산화수소가 지속적으로 측정되었다. $O_3$/high pH 공정의 경우, BPA가 반응시작 50 min 만에 완전히 분해되었지만, TOC (총유기탄소) 제거율은 29%로 산화반응 중 생성된 중간물질을 충분히 산화시키지 못하는 것으로 나타났다(선택적 산화반응). $O_3/H_2O_2$ 및 $O_3$/PAC 공정에서는 BPA가 반응시작 40 min 만에 완전히 분해되었으며, TOC 제거율은 각각 57% 및 66% 정도로 반응 중간체들을 산화(비선택적 산화반응)시키는 것으로 나타났다.

유전체 배리어 방전 플라즈마를 모사 농산물 저장시설($1.0m^3$)의 에틸렌 제거에 적용하였다. 에틸렌이 포함된 공기를 플라즈마 반응기에 유입시켜 처리한 후 다시 농산물 저장시설로 재순환하는 방식으로 시험을 수행하였다. 주요 운전변수는 방전전력, 순환기체 유량, 초기 에틸렌 농도 및 처리시간이었다. 에틸렌의 분해속도는 주로 방전전력과 처리시간에 의해 결정되었다. 다른 조건을 일정하게 유지한 상태에서 플라즈마 반응기 후단에 이산화망간 오존분해 촉매를 설치했을 경우 오존분해 촉매가 없을 때 보다 에틸렌 제거속도가 더 빨랐는데, 이 결과는 플라즈마 반응기에서 배출되는 오존이 농산물 저장시설에 유입 축적되어 에틸렌을 추가적으로 분해했기 때문이다. 에틸렌 초기 농도 50 ppm을 기준으로 하면 이를 완전히 분해하기 위한 에너지 요구량은 약 60 kJ이었다.

An acetaldehyde, a representative food waste odor, was decomposed using a hybrid system comprised of a non-thermal plasma and catalyst at an ambient temperature under high humidity. A five wt.% Mn was impregnated on two differently structured microporous zeolites, namely Beta and ZSM-5, with a different molar ratio of SiO₂/Al₂O₃. Under high humidity conditions, the acetaldehyde degradation was higher in zeolites with the high ratio of SiO₂/Al₂O₃. Among studied catalysts, a five wt.% Mn/Beta (SiO₂/Al₂O₃ = 300) showed the highest acetaldehyde removal activity owing to its high hydrophobicity and reducibility. During long term stability test using the same catalyst for 110 hours, the acetaldehyde removal activity was relatively well-maintained.

DME(Dimethyl ether) Dimethyl Ether (DME) is a new clean fuel and an environmental-benign energy resource. In comparison with other fuels, DME rapidly decomposes into carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and water in the atmosphere without forming ozone. It can be manufactured from various energy sources including natural gas, coal, biomass and spent plastics. In addition to its environmentally friendly properties, DME is considered as one of the most promising candidates for the substitute of LPG and diesel fuel. In this work, we will be studied to find optimized condition for the catalyst of DME energy manufacture from hydrogen and carbon oxide and its chemical and physical characteristics.

Purpose: VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are all the organic compounds that react with solar rays and increase the concentration of ozone in the troposphere and are partially also known as carcinogens. The adsorption using activated carbon is usually applied to remove VOCs. Research design, data and methodology: The 20 places of surface coating facilities were selected to evaluate the emission amount of VOCs in Seoul. In addition, the removal efficiency of VOCs in 25 places of automobile coating facilities was evaluated. Results: The average emission amount of VOCs was 10.903 kg/hr from automobile coating facilities, while 3.520 kg/hr from other surface coating facilities. The removal efficiency in adsorption with the combustion catalytic process has the mean value of 87.9% and the regeneration efficiency of activated carbon has the mean value of 95.0%. Conclusions: The removal efficiency in adsorption with the biofiltration process has the mean value of 89.8% and the regeneration efficiency of activated carbon has the mean value of 94.8%. The removal efficiency in the plasma catalyst process has the mean value of 79.3%.

활성탄의 화학적 흡착 및 오존촉매반응의 작용기를 향상시키기 위해 Fe, Co, Mn 및 Pd 금속들을 활성탄에 담지하여 금속촉매 활성탄을 제조하였다. 고급산화공정의 실험결과에서 페놀 분해속도, 용존 오존 분해율 및 TOC (총유기탄소) 제거율은 Pd-AC > Mn-AC > Co-AC > AC > Fe-AC의 순서로 나타났다. BET 분석에서 금속담지활성탄의 물리적 특성은 오존촉매반응에 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 촉매효과는 담지한 금속의 종류에 따라 상이한 결과를 나타내었다. RCT (생성된 OH radical과 오존의 비율) 값 측정은 OH radical과 쉽게 반응하지만 오존과는 매우 느리게 반응하는 probe compound로 알려진 파라-클로로벤조산(p-chlorobenzoic acid)의 분해결과로부터 구할 수 있었으며, 오존단독 공정은 $5.48{\times}10^{-9}$, 활성탄 공정은 $1.47{\times}10^{-8}$로 측정되었고, Fe-AC, Co-AC, Mn-AC 및 Pd-AC 공정은 각각 $2.13{\times}10^{-9}$, $1.51{\times}10^{-8}$, $4.77{\times}10^{-8}$ 및 $5.58{\times}10^{-8}$로 측정되었다.

A multilayer tower-type photoreactor, in which $TiO_2$-coated glass-tubes were installed, was used to measure the vapor-phase BTEX removal efficiencies by ozone oxidation ($O_3$/UV), photocatalytic oxidation ($TiO_2$/UV) and the combination of ozone and photocatalytic oxidation ($O_3/TiO_2$/UV) process, respectively. The experiments were conducted under various relative humidities, temperatures, ozone concentrations, gas flow rates and BTEX concentrations. As a result, the BTEX removal efficiency and the oxidation rate by $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system were highest, compared to $O_3$/UV and $TiO_2$/UV system. The $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system accelerated the low oxidation rate of low-concentration organic compounds and removed organic compounds to a large extent in a fixed volume of reactor in a short time. Therefore, $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system as a superimposed oxidation technology was developed to efficiently and economically treat refractory VOCs. Also, this study demonstrated feasibility of a technology to scale up a photoreactor from lab-scale to pilot-scale, which uses (i) a separated light-source chamber and a light distribution system, (ii) catalyst fixing to glass-tube media, and (iii) unit connection in series and/or parallel. The experimental results from $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system showed that (i) the highest BTEX removal efficiencies were obtained under relative humidity ranging from 50 to 55% and temperature ranging from 40 to $50^{\circ}C$, and (ii) the removal efficiencies linearly increased with ozone dosage and decreased with gas flow rate. When applying Langmuir-Hinshelwood model to $TiO_2$/UV and $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system, reaction rate constant for $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system was larger than that for $TiO_2$/UV system, however, it was found that adsorption constant for $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system was smaller than that for $TiO_2$/UV system due to competitive adsorption between organics and ozone.

Nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) is an important trace gas in the atmosphere not only because of its large global warming potential (GWP) but also because of the role in the ozone depletion in the stratosphere. It has been known that soil is the largest natural source of $N_2O$ in global emission. However, anthropogenic sources contributing from industrial section is likely to increase with rising the energy consumption, and transportation as well. In this study, a total of 32 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles (ranging from small to large engine's displacement and also ranging from aged catalyst to new catalyst) were tested on the chassis dynamometer system in order to elucidate the characteristics of $N_2O$ emission from automobiles under different driving modes. Ten different driving modes developed by NIER were adapted for the test. The results show that the $N_2O$ emission decreases logarithmically with increase of vehicle speed over the all test vehicles ($N_2O$) emission = -0.062 Ln (vehicle speed) + $0.289,\;r^2=0.97$). It revealed that the larger engine's displacement, the more $N_2O$ emission were recorded. The correlation between $N_2O$ emission and catalyst aging was examined. It found that the vehicles with aged catalyst (odometer record more than 8,0000km) emit more $N_2O$ than those with new catalyst. Average $N_2O$ emission was $0.086{\pm}0.095\;N_2O-g/km$ (number of samples=210) for the all test vehicles over the test driving modes.

Humic substances is accounted for for the largest proportion in natural organic matter(NOM) and NOM is widely distributed in varying concentration in all aquatic and soil. They can affect water quality adversely in several ways by contributing undesirable color, complexing with metal and yielding metal concentrations exceeding normal solubility. Ozonation is one of the efficient treatments for degradation of humic substances which cause some problems in water treatment. Especially, the combination of ozone and granular activated carbon was applied to degradation humic acid in aquatic system. The aim of this work to test the available of acid-treated granular activated carbon as catalyst in the ozonation of humic acid.
