Catalytic reduction and oxidation of NO over polyacrylonitrile based activated carbon fibers (PAN-ACF) under various conditions were carried out to develop removal process of NO from the flue gas. The effect of temperature, oxygen concentration and the moisture content for the reduction of NO with ammonia as a reducing agent was investigated. The reduction of NO increased with the oxygen concentration, but decreased with the increased temperature. The moisture content in the flue gas affects the reduction of NO as the inhibition of the adsorption of the other components and the reaction on the surface of ACE For the oxidation of NO to $NO_2$ over PAN-ACF without using a reducing gas, it showed the temperature and the oxygen concentration of the flue gas are the important factors for the NO conversion in which the conversion increased with oxygen concentration and decreased with the temperature increase and might be the alternative option for the selective catalytic reduction process.

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.

This work reviews the effects of catalyst formulation and exhaust gas composition on soot oxidation in CDPF (Catalytic Diesel Particulate Filter). DOC's (Diesel Oxidation Catalysts) have been loaded with Pt catalyst (Pt/$Al_{2}O_3$) for reduction of HC and CO. Recent CDPF's are coated with the Pt catalyst as well as additives like Mo, V, Ce, Co, Fe, La, Au, or Zr for the promotion of soot oxidation. Alkali (K, Na, Cs, Li) doping of metal catalyst tends to increase the activity of the catalysts in soot combustion. Effects of coexistence components are very important in the catalytic reaction of the soot. The soot oxidation rate of a few catalysts are improved by water vapor and NOx in the ambient. There are only a few reports available on the mechanism of the PM (particulate matter) oxidation on the catalysts. The mechanism of PM oxidation in the catalytic systems that meet new emission regulations of diesel engines has yet to be investigated. Future research will focus on catalysts that can not only oxidize PM at low temperature, but also reduce NOx, continuously self-cleaning diesel particulate filters, and selective catalysts for NOx reduction.

The catalytic activity of $Nd_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_{3-y}$, $0{\leq}x{\leq}0.75$ and $0.001{\leq}y{\leq}0.103$, on the oxidation of carbon monoxide has been investigated from the structure analyses of the catalysts by X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy and the measurements of the oxidation and adsorption rates of carbon monoxide. The catalytic activity is found to be correlated with Sr substitution (x) and nonstoichiometry (y). The oxidation power of carbon monoxide increases continuously with increasing Sr substitution without oxygen, but increases with Sr substitution up to x = 0.25 and then is almost constant at larger x values up to x = 0.75 with oxygen. This change of catalytic activity is explained by the oxidation-reduction properties of the catalyst due to the variation of nonstoichiometry.

석탄화력발전소로부터 배출되는 질소산화물(NO + NO₂ = NO_x)은 NH₃를 환원제로 사용하여 선택적으로 환원시키는 SCR(selective catalytic reduction) 탈질촉매시스템에서 효과적으로 제거될 수 있다. 이 SCR 촉매공정에서 원소수은을 산화시켜 후속공정에서 제거하기 위하여 수많은 산화촉매들이 제안되었으나 MW급 석탄연소시설이나 상업운전 중인 석탄발전소 탈질시스템에서 원소수은 산화성능을 실증한 사례들은 매우 드물다. 실배가스에서 수행한 실증연구들을 심층적으로 조사·분석한 바는 기존 SCR 탈질촉매뿐 아니라 수은산화능을 향상시킨 신촉매의 원소수은 산화활성은 석탄연소, 실배가스 등의 특성에 따라 매우 복잡한 양상을 띤다는 점이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 석탄연소시설에 사용하는 원료탄, 탈질시스템과 실증조건이 원소수은 산화능에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 핵심 요소이다. 특히, 원료탄에 함유된 할로겐 함량은 탈질촉매공정의 중요성을 넘어서는 것으로 보여진다. 석탄에 존재하는 대표적인 할로겐 성분은 Cl, Br과 F이고 이들 중에서 Cl이 지배적이며 다른 할로겐계처럼 염으로 존재하지만 석탄연소 과정에서 미량의 Cl₂와 함께 HCl로 전환된다. 이러한 HCl은 원소수은 산화에 있어서 강력한 산화제로 작용하지만 석탄마다 Cl 함량이 다르기 때문에 HCl 농도 또한 강하게 의존한다.

The study on the catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) using the noble metals has long been the interest subject and the recent progress in nanoscience provides the opportunity to develop new model systems of catalysts in this field. Of the noble metal catalysts, we selected ruthenium (Ru) as metal catalyst due to its unusual catalytic behavior. The size of colloid Ru NPs was controlled by the concentration of Ru precursor and the final reduction temperatures. For catalytic activity of CO oxidation, it was found that the trend is dependent on the size of Ru NPs. In order to explain this trend, the surface oxide layer surrounding the metal core has been suggested as the catalytically active species through several studies. In this poster, we show the influence of surface oxide on Ru NPs on the catalytic activity of CO oxidation using chemical treatments including oxidation, reduction and UV-Ozone surface treatment. The changes occurring to UV-Ozone surface treatment will be characterized with XPS and SEM. The catalytic activity before and after the chemical modification were measured. We discuss the trend of catalytic activity in light of the formation of core-shell type oxide on nanoparticles surfaces.

We sdudied effect of additives on catalytic activity in thermal catalytic de-NOx process which was composed of thermal reduction, catalytic reduction and catalytic oxidation stage. Pd-Pt/${\gamma}$-$Al_2O_3$ catalysts with the addition of transition metals(Co, Cu, Fe, Ni, W, Zn, Zr) and rare earth metals(Ce, Sr) were prepared by the conventional washcoating method. Those catalysts were characterized by CO pulse chemisorption, ICP, $N_2$ adsorption, SEM and XRD. The effect of catalyst additives on NOx removal for diesel emission was studied in thermal catalytic de-NOx process at reduction temperature(350~50$0^{\circ}C$), space velocity(5,000~20,000 $hr^{-1}$) and the engine load(0~120kW). The concentraton of CO, $CO_2$, NO and $NO_2$ in the exhaust gas increased with the engine load. On the other hand the concentration of $O_2$ decreased. The de-NOx activityof all prepared catalysts increased with respect to high CO and low $O_2$ level in the thermal reduction stage of the process. Insertion of Ce to Pt-Pd/${\gamma}$-$Al_2O_3$ catalyst showed the best activity of all the catalysts under these experimental conditions. De-NOx catalysts are effective to remove CO in addition to NOx in the catalytic reduction stage.

다양한 금속(Ru, Mn, Co, Fe)을 $Al_2O_3$와 $CeO_2$에 담지한 촉매를 이용하여 1,2-Dichlorobenzen (1,2-DCB) 제거를 위한 촉매산화 실험을 실시하였다. 이와 더불어 동시에 NOx 제거가 이루어져 단일 촉매층에서 산화/환원 이원 기능이 가능한 촉매를 연구하고자 하였다. 실험결과 1,2-DCB 산화제거효율은 Ru/Co/$Al_2O_3$, Mn-Fe/$CeO_{2}$, 상용촉매인 Cr/$Al_2O_3$ 순으로 나타났다. 또한 1,2-DCB 산화제거효율이 가장 우수하였던 Ru/Co/$Al_2O_3$는 Chlorobenzene (CB)의 분해실험에서도 VOC 제거에 있어서 잘 알려진 Pt-Pd/$Al_2O_3$ 보다 우수한 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 $Cl_2$와 같은 생성물에 의하여 활성의 저하 및 황에 대한 내피독성과 내구성에서 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. NOx 제거에 있어서도 $260^{\circ}C$에서 NOx 전환율이 70% 정도로 나타났다.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) provide zero emission power sources for electric vehicles and portable electronic devices. Although significant progresses for the widespread application of electrochemical energy technology have been achieved, some drawbacks such as catalytic activity, durability, and high cost of catalysts still remain. Pt-based catalysts are regarded as the most efficient catalysts for sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, their prohibitive cost limits the commercialization of PEMFCs. Therefore, we proposed a NiCo@Au core shell structure as Pt-free ORR electrocatalyst in PEMFCs. NiCo alloy was synthesized as core to introduce ionization tendency and autoxidation reaction. Au as a shell was synthesized to prevent oxidation of core NiCo and increase catalytic activity for ORR. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization, electrochemical properties, and PEMFCs performance of the novel NiCo@Au core-shell as a catalyst for ORR in PEMFCs application. Based on results of this study, possible mechanism for catalytic of autoxidation core@anti-oxidation shell in PEMFCs is suggested.

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.
