Domestic three-way catalyst satisfies exhaust gas conversion efficiency or pressure drop etc. but doesn't satisfy thermal durability. Thermal stress analysis for three-way catalyst was performed based on experimental temperature distribution. Thermal safety of three-way catalyst was estimated by safety factor. Aspect ratio variable had the most significant effect on thermal stress. Thickness variable had the least significant effect on thermal stress. Optimal conditions for premature failure prevention of three-way catalyst were as follows : (1) aspect ratio of three-way catalyst : 0.6:1 (2) 2.84mm thick (3) silicon nitride. The safety of Taguchi-optimized three-way catalyst were 4.7 times higher than that of existent three-way catalyst.

This study examines thermal safety on three-way catalyst that dominates 70 % among whole exhaust gas purification device in 2003. Three-way catalyst durability in the Korea requires 5 years/80,000 km in 1988 but require 10 years/120,000 km after 2002. Three-way catalyst durability in the USA requires 7 years/120,000 km but require 10 years/160,000 km after 2004. Three-way catalyst maintains high temperature in interior domain but maintains low temperature on outside surface. Therefore this device shows tensile stress on outside surface. Temperature distribution of three-way catalyst was acquired by thermal flow analysis for predicted thermal flow parameter. Thermal stress analysis for three-way catalysis was performed based on this temperature distribution. Thermal safety of three-way catalyst was estimated by power law dynamic fatigue life estimation and strength reduction methods for thermal stress.

국내 승용차용 삼원촉매의 경우 열적 내구성을 만족시키지 못하고 조기 파손되는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 이것은 차량의 배기가스 정화장치의 신뢰성에 치명적 손상을 유발시키므로 삼원촉매의 내구성 평가 모델을 파악할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 세라믹 모노리스 담체에서 발생되는 열응력을 구한 뒤 강도저하계수모델과 파손확률을 기초로 삼원촉매의 열적 내구성을 평가하였다.

국내 승용차용 삼원촉매담체의 경우 배기가스 변환 효율이나 압력 강하 등은 엔진 효율 측면에서 만족되고 있지만 열적 내구성은 요구 내구 수명을 만족시키지 못하여 차량정비현장에서 상당한 파손사고가 발견되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 현상의 원인을 밝히기 위하여 국내 승용차용 삼원촉매담체에서 발생되는 열응력을 온도측정자료와 단순한 열응력 모델을 이용하여 구하였으며 열피로 성능은 확정론적 강도가 아닌 확률과 크기 및 피로 인자를 고려한 확률론적 설계 강도로 평가함으로서 확정론적 설계 강도에 의한 열피로 성능 평가 방법을 극복하였다.

The car industry is one of the technological applications which more rare earth metals employes as three-way catalysts. Therefore, the recovery of rare earth metals from the used automotive three-way catalysts could be important source to obtain these metals. This work presents the analysis of market and demand for rare earth metal in automotive three-way catalyst and introduces the dry and the wet processes for the recovery of rare earth metals from used three-way catalyst. Finally, the alternative methods to conventional wet processes was simply suggested based on the economic and ecological point of view.

한국에서 삼원촉매 내구성은 1988년에 5년/80,000 km 이지만 2002년 이후로 10년/120,000 km이 요구된다. 국내의 삼원촉매는 배출가스 정화효율이나 압력강하 등이 만족하지만 열적 내구성은 만족시키지 못하고 있다. 삼원촉매는 내부에서 높은 온도를 유지하지만 외부 표면에서는 낮은 온도를 유지한다. 본 연구는 열유동과 구조해석 및 다음과 같은 과정에 의해서 열적 내구성을 평가하였다. 열유동 매개변수 범위는 차량시험과 열유동 해석에 의해 결정하였다. 후면 촉매 온도에 대한 반응 표면은 열유동 매개변수에 대한 실험계획법을 이용해 구성되었다. 차량시험에서 후면 촉매 온도에 대한 열유동 매개변수는 만족도 함수에 의해 예측하였다. 삼원촉매의 온도분포는 예측된 열유동 매개변수에 대한 열유동 해석에 의해 평가하였다.

Recently the use of Pd catalyst have been continued to expand because of cost avaliabilityand performance advantages. Especially the Pd+Rh catalyst instead of the Pt+Rh catalyst had been used for most of three way catalysts because of the more stringent emission standards and its higher temperature effectiveness. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the design parameter impacts on the Pd+Rh cat-alyst for the automotive exhaust catalysts application. This study was investigated on the catalyst efficiency for the volume and the precious metal loading of the Pd+Rh ceramic monolithic cata-lyst. And experiments concerning the effects of volume and precious metal loading on Pd+Rh three way catalysts were conducted to examined the catalyst light-off temperature and conver-sion efficiency on higher volume demonstrated almost similar performance. But their effects on higher precious metal loading demonstrated considerably better performance.

Cold-start emissions are given great importance under the Euro-7 emission standard due to their significant impact on overall vehicle emissions. When an engine is started from a cold state, the combustion process is not yet optimized, leading to higher emissions. Hybrid vehicles, in particular, may face additional challenges, as their engine may remain inactive for extended periods, causing their catalysts to cool down and potentially become less effective in reducing emissions. In the present study, the performance of an electric heater was investigated as a means to enhance the catalyst heating during the start-up time. A simulation tool was utilized to develop a model for the gasoline exhaust aftertreatment system. The result indicates that the heater was able to increase the three-way catalyst temperature to 500℃ in 4 s using 20 kW power. In addition, the implementation of a secondary air supply resulted in reduced temperature overshoot and improved conversion efficiencies.

가솔린 자동차 배출가스에 장기간 노출되어 활성이 저하된 폐 삼원촉매를 대상으로 재제조를 수행하였다. 재제조된 삼원촉매, 자동차 배출가스에 노출되지 않은 신촉매와 폐 삼원촉매에 대해 촉매의 물성분석과 CO, THC 및 NOx에 대한 전환활성을 측정하여 비교 분석하였다. 폐 삼원촉매의 재제조는 증류수 및 산성용액을 이용하여 초음파 세정하는 것과 세정된 촉매에 촉매의 활성성분인 Pt, Pd 및 Rh를 재함침하는 방법으로 수행하였다. 폐 삼원촉매를 재제조하는 과정에서 촉매표면에 축적되었던 각종 불순성분들이 대부분 제거 되었으나 촉매활성 성분인 Pt나 Pd 또한 함께 제거되는 것으로 판단되었다. 촉매활성 성분을 함침하여 폐 삼원촉매를 재제조 할 경우 재제조된 촉매의 활성은 신촉매의 활성보다 같거나 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

The LPG vehicles are being operated by commercial purposes generally such as taxis. Most of taxis have a long-mileage and a harsh driving pattern. These properties may accelerate aging of the three-way catalysts much faster than the passenger vehicles. Because of this background, it was analyzed the test result of fuel efficiency and emissions on the LPG-fueled light duty vehicle. It was selected for a LPG vehicle of ULEV level to measure the fuel efficiency and emissions of the aged three-way catalysts. And the aged three-way catalysts which was driven about 300,000km and 550,000km replaced on the test vehicle in consecutive order. As a result, The aged three-way catalysts generally had no effect on fuel efficiency result, and harmful exhaust emissions had been shown to increase in most of the test mode, even though it satisfied the regulation value on most test modes.
