The catalytic activity of transition metals (Cu, Co, Mn, Fe and Ni) supported on ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ for the oxidation of toluene was investigated in the microreactor of fixed-bed type. The catalytic activity of transition metals for the oxidation of toluene turned out to be increasing in the order of Ni$Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts for the oxidation of toluene increased with the increasing loadings of copper, reached the maximum activity at 5% loadings of copper, and decreased with higher loadings of copper in the catalysts. The activity of $Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts for the oxidation of toluene decreased with the increasing calcination temperatures. This might result from the decreasing surface area of catalysts due to the sintering of copper oxide as well as ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ supports. The 5wt% $Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs in the air showed the highest activity for the oxidation of toluene. Mutual inhibition was observed for the binary mixture of toluene and xylene. The activity of the easy-to-oxidize toluene was greatly decreased while the difficult-to-oxidize xylene was slightly decreased in the binary mixture of toluene and xylene. It might suggest that the inhibition of toluene and xylene in the binary mixture resulted from the competitive adsorption for the adsorbed oxygen on the catalytic surface.

Catalytic combustion of toluene was investigated on $CuOx/SnO_2-ZrO_2\;CuOx/SnO_2\;CuOx/ZrO_2$ catalysts prepared by impregnation. Characteristics of catalysts loaded on binary support and single support were observed by TPR, TPO, XRD, XPS techniques. The results on catalytic combustion showed that binary supports improve the activity of copper in the combustion of toluene. The reason for high catalytic activity on toluene combustion of $CuOx/SnO_2-ZrO_2$ catalyst was ascribed to oxidation$\cdot$reduction activity at low temperatures and stability of oxidation state after reduction.

망간 산화물 촉매, 망간-세륨 산화물 촉매에서 톨루엔의 촉매 산화에 대하여 조사 하였다. XRD, TGA, 톨루엔-TPR 분석을 통해 촉매의 특성을 조사하였다. 톨루엔 산화반응에 있어서 망간 18.2 wt.% 세륨 10.0 wt.%이 적절한 비율인 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 세리아가 망간 산화물에서의 활성을 증진 시키는 것으로 보여진다. XRD결과 $MnO_2$가 황성 자리인 것으로 추측된다. TGA 톨루엔-TPR결과 세리아가 격자 산소의 이동성, 활성자리의 적절한 상화 상태, 저온에서의 환원능력 및 활성자리의 재산화 능력을 증진시키는 것으로 사료된다.

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.

Alumina-supported catalysts containing different transition metals such as Cu, Cr, Mn, Zn, Co, W were investigated for their activity in the selective oxidation of toluene. Catalytic oxidation of toluene was investigated at atmospheric pressure in a fixed bed flow reactor system over transition metals with $Al_2O_3$ catalyst. The result showed the order of catalytic activities for the complete oxidation of toluene was Mn > Cu> Cr> Co> W> Zn for 5wt.% transition $metals/Al_2O_3$. $Mn/Al_2O_3$ catalysts containing different amount of Mn were characterized by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy for decision of loading amount of metal to alumina. 5 wt.%$Mn/Al_2O_3$ catalyst exhibits the highest catalytic activity, over which the toluene conversion was up to 90% at a temperature of $289^{\circ}C$.

본 연구에서는 multi-bed 플레이트로 폐열재생 부분과 촉매반응 부분으로 구성되어 있는 복합열산화 시스템(Hybrid Thermal Oxidation System)을 이용하여 저온에서 주입 밸브 교체 시간간격과 유입유량을 변화시켜 VOCs(MEK와 Toluene) 제거를 평가하고자 하였다. $350^{\circ}C$의 연소온도 조건에서 VOCs는 완전히 전환되었으며 당량비에 따른 전환율 또한 100%에 근접하였고, HTO 시스템의 연소실은 좌우측의 온도가 균형을 이루며 열효율이 매우 높아 폐열회수 및 재생이 효율적이었다. 주입 밸브 교체 시간간격과 유입 유량 변화에 따른 HTO시스템에서의 VOCs 제거 효율은, MEK와 Toluene 모두 안정적으로 높은 91.1~97.4%의 효율을 나타내었으며, 보조연료량 증가보다는 밸브교대시간을 길게 하였을때 제거 효율이 증가하는 경향을 보여 보조연료량 증가보다 밸브교대시간을 증가시키는 것이 제거 효율을 높이는데 효율적으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 고려할 때 HTO시스템은 저농에서도 VOCs 제거, 특히 MEK과 Toluene 제거에 매우 안정적이며 콤팩트한 시스템으로 판단되며, 적은 설치 부지로 중소기업이 요구하는 새로운 VOCs 제거 시스템으로 적용 가능하리라 판단된다.

산업현장에서 발생되는 휘발성유기화합물은 생분해 가능한 화합물과 난분해성 물질이 혼합되어 있는 경우가 많으며, 저감기술을 단독으로 적용해서는 효과적인 제어가 불가능하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 난분해성 물질이 혼합된 휘발성유기화합물을 처리하기 위하여, 자외선(UV) 광분해 장치와 미생물 고정화 복합고분자 담체가 적용된 바이오필터 기술을 결합한 통합시스템을 구성하고 반응 특성을 검토하였다. 대상 휘발성유기화합물로는 toluene과 TCE를 선정하였다. 자외선 광산화 단독실험 결과 TCE는 99% 이상의 제거효율을 나타내었으며 수용성 중간생성물 발생량도 크게 증가하였다. 그러나 toluene과 TCE를 혼합하여 유입시키면 자외선 광분해만으로는 유기화합물 제거율이 낮아졌다. 자외선 광산화와 바이오필터를 결합한 통합시스템 실험에서는 높은 toluene 제거효율을 얻을 수 있었으며, 전처리로 자외선을 조사한 후 toluene과 TCE의 처리효율도 함께 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 자외선에 의해 일부 산화된 toluene과 TCE가 미생물에 의해 보다 효과적으로 분해될 수 있음을 보여준다. 자외선 광산화 반응은 toluene이 상대적으로 적게 존재하는 상황에서 TCE 제거효율을 효과적으로 향상시킬 수 있었으며, 본 실험에서 확인한 TCE 최대 분해능은 $18.2g/m^3/hr$이었다. 그러나 toluene 유입농도가 높았던 조건에서는 toluene의 저해작용으로 인해 TCE 분해능 변화가 적었다. 다양한 운전조건에서 통합시스템의 반응효율과 운전 안정성을 향상시키기 위해서는 각 난분해성 물질 사이의 상호 저해작용에 대한 추가 연구가 필요하다.

Carbon-fiber-supported NiO catalytic filters for oxidation of volatile organic compounds were prepared by electroless Ni-P plating and subsequent annealing processes. Surface structure and crystallinity of NiO film on carbon fiber could be modified by post-annealing at different temperatures (500 and $650^{\circ}C$. Catalytic thermal decompositions of toluene over these catalytic filters were investigated. $500^{\circ}C$ annealed sample showed a higher catalytic reactivity toward toluene decomposition than $650^{\circ}C$ annealed one under same conditions, despite of its lower surface area and toluene adsorption capacity. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies suggested that amorphous structures of NiO on $500^{\circ}C$ annealed catalyst caused the higher reactivity for oxidation of toluene than that of $650^{\circ}C$ annealed sample with a higher crystallinity.

Catalytic oxidation of toluene in low concentrations was investigated over various supports. As the manganese oxides loading was increased, the conversion of toluene increased at a lower temperature. The 18.2 $wt\%$ $Mn/\gamma-Al_2O_3$ appeared to be the most active catalyst. Among the supports, $\gamma-Al_2O_3$ was more active than $TiO_2$ and $SiO_2$. Manganese oxide catalysts prepared from manganese nitrate precursor were better for complete oxidation of toluene than those prepared from manganese sulfate and chloride precursor because sulfate from manganese sulfate and chloride from chloride manganese remained even after the calcination by XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) analyses.
