An experimental study has been carried out to investigate a thermal decomposition of urea solution at relative low temperature with a lab-scaled exhaust pipe. The conversion efficiency of reductant considered with both ammonia and HNCO related with the urea injection quantity, inflow gas velocity and temperature. The conversion efficiency of ammonia was larger than that of HNCO under all experimental conditions unlike the theoretical thermolysis reaction.

The spray-induced mixing characteristics and thermal decomposition of aqueous urea solution into ammonia have been studied to design optimum sizes and geometries of the mixing chamber in SCR(Selective Catalytic Reduction) system. The cold flow tests about the urea-injection nozzle were performed to clarify the parameters of spray mixing characteristics such as mean diameter and velocity of drops and spray width determined from the interactions between incoming air and injected drops. Discrete particle model in Fluent code was adopted to simulate spray-induced mixing process and the experimental results on the spray characteristics were used as input data of numerical calculations. The simulation results on the spray-induced mixing were verified by comparing the spray width extracted from the digital images with the simulated Particle tracks of injected drops. The single kinetic model was adopted to predict thermal decomposition of urea solution into ammonia and solved simultaneously along with the verified spray model. The hot air generator was designed to match the flow rate and temperature of the exhaust gas of the real engines The measured ammonia productions in the hot air generator were compared with the numerical predictions and the comparison results showed good agreements. Finally, we concluded that the design capabilities for sizing optimum mixing chamber were established.

In upcoming Post Stage-V and Tier 5 regulations of construction machineries, nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions are strictly limited in cold start conditions. In response to this, a method of improving NOx conversion efficiency has been applied by installing an electric heating catalyst (EHC) in front of conventional urea-SCR systems so that the evaporation and thermal decomposition of urea-water solution can be promoted in cold start conditions. In this strategy, the evaporation and thermal decomposition of urea-water solution and corresponding NOx conversion efficiency are governed by temperature conditions inside the EHC. Therefore, characterizing the temperature distribution in the EHC under various operating conditions is crucial for the optimized operation and control of the EHC in Urea-SCR systems. In this study, a 1-D modeling analysis was performed to predict the heater surface temperature distribution in EHC under various operating conditions. The reliability of prediction results was verified by comparing them with measurement results obtained using an infrared (IR) camera. Based on 1-D analysis results, the effects of various EHC operation parameters on the heater surface temperature distribution were analyzed and discussed.

본 연구에서는 열중량분석법(Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis, TGA)을 이용하여 우레아 수용액의 농도와 열전달 속도가 우레아 수용액으로부터 암모니아가 생성되는 과정에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 또한 1,000 $Nm^3$/h 규모의 유류 연소 보일러에 도입된 관통형 노즐을 사용하여 우레아의 분사방향을 상방과 하방으로 하였을 때를 비교함으로써 분사된 우레아가 지나는 경로에서 주위온도가 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 질소 또는 공기 분위기에서 수행된 열중량분석 실험에서, 우레아는 산소의 존재유무에 관계없이 동일한 열분해 과정을 거쳤으며, 우레아 수용액은 가열속도에 따라 매우 다른 무게 감량 경향을 보여 가열속도가 우레아의 분해에 중요한 인자임을 나타내었다. 농도가 10%~40%인 우레아 수용액에서 우레아 열분해 시작 온도는 큰 차이를 보이지 않으므로, 농도의 영향은 그리 크지 않았다. 위치가 다른 세 곳에서 온도를 동일하게 유지하였을 때 상부 분사인 경우 탈질 효율은 각각 68.1%, 71.8%, 70.8%로 나타나 크게 차이가 나지 않았다. 동일 지역을 향하여 하부에서 분사한 경우와 상부에서 분사한 경우의 탈질 효율을 비교하면 각각 68.1%와 9.5%를 보여 동일한 지역에 분사된 우레아일지라도 분사방향에 따라 탈질 효율에는 큰 차이를 보였다.

디젤 엔진과 산업용 보일러에서의 질소산화물(NOX) 배출은 환경오염을 유발시키는 주요물질 중의 하나이다. 이러한 질소산화물 발생을 저감시키기 위한 방법으로 후처리 기술 중의 하나인 우레아 선택적 촉매 환원(Urea-SCR)기술이 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 선박용 디젤엔진의 배기가스 조건을 모사한 실험실 스케일의 실험장치를 통해 우레아 수용액의 열분해 특성에 대해 고찰하였다. 40 wt. %의 우레아 농도를 가진 우레아 수용액을 사용하였고, 모사가스의 온도와 유속변화, 우레아 수용액의 유량에 따른 총 전환율 뿐만 아니라 암모니아($NH_3$)와 이소시안산(HNCO)의 전환율 차이를 알아보았다. $210^{\circ}C$와 $250^{\circ}C$ 모사가스 온도에서 체류시간에 따라 암모니아의 전환율이 이소시안산의 전환율보다 높게 나타남을 확인하였다.

Urea-SCR, the selective catalytic reduction using urea as reducing agent, has been investigated for about 10 years in detail and today is a well established technique for deNOx of stationary diesel engines. In the case of the SCR-catalyst a non-uniform velocity and $NH_3$ profile will cause an inhomogeneous conversion of the reducing agent $NH_3$, resulting in a local breakthrough of $NH_3$ or increasing NOx emissions. Therefore, this work investigates the effect of flow and $NH_3$ non-uniformities on the deNOx performance and $NH_3$ slip in a Urea-SCR exhaust system. From the results of this study, it is found that flow and $NH_3$ distribution within SCR monolith is strongly related with deNOx performance of SCR catalyst. It is also found that multi-hole injector shows better $NH_3$ uniformity at the face of SCR monolith face than one hole injector.

In the past few years, considerable efforts have been directed towards the further development of Urea-SCR(selective catalytic reduction) technique for diesel-driven vehicle. Although urea possesses considerable advantages over Ammonia$(NH_3)$ in terms of toxicity and handling, its necessary decomposition into Ammonia and carbon dioxide complicates the DeNOx process. Moreover, a mobile SCR system has only a short distance between engine exhaust and the catalyst entrance. Hence, this leads to not enough residence times of urea, and therefore evaporation and thermolysis cannot be completed at the catalyst entrance. This may cause high secondary emissions of Ammonia and isocyanic acid from the reducing agent and also leads to the fact that a considerable section of the catalyst may be misused for the purely thermal steps of water evaporation and thermolysis of urea. Hence the key factor to implementation of SCR technology on automobile is fast thermolysis, good mixing of Ammonia and gas, and reducing Ammonia slip. In this context, this study performs three-dimensional numerical simulation of urea injection of heavy-duty diesel engine under various injection pressure, injector locations and number of injector hole. This study employs Eulerian-Lagrangian approach to consider break-up, evaporation and heat and mass-transfer between droplet and exhaust gas with considering thermolysis and the turbulence dispersion effect of droplet. The SCR-monolith brick has been treated as porous medium. The effect of location and number of hole of urea injector on the uniformity of Ammonia concentration distribution and the amount of water at the entrance of SCR-monolith has been examined in detail under various injection pressures. The present results show useful guidelines for the optimum design of urea injector for reducing Ammonia slip and improving DeNOx performance.

The effect of the NCO index and catalyst type on the thermal stability of poly(urethane-isocyanurate) (PUIR) foams was investigated to identify a method for enhancing the flame resistance of PUIR. PUIR foams were prepared using 4,4-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and [(diethylene glycol)adipate]diol, which were synthesized by esterification of adipic acid and diethylene glycol. Dabco K-15, Dabco TMR-30, and Toyocat RX-5 were used as the catalysts for trimerization and gelation. The amount of urea and isocyanurate groups in PUIR was semi-quantitatively determined by normalizing their absorbance with the phenyl absorbance measured by FT-IR. The normalization data showed that Dabco TMR-30 effectively generated isocyanurate groups in PUIR. As a result, Dabco TMR-30 effectively raised the decomposition temperature and increased the 800 K and 900 K residues of the PUIR foam synthesized with an NCO index of 200.
