본 연구는 휴대폰을 비롯한 전자제품 세척공정과 악취유발물질 등에서 배출되는 휘발성 유기화합물(VOCs)을 경제적이고 안전하게 제거하는 기술에 대한 성능평가를 위해 수행되었다. 대부분의 산업공정에서는 VOCs 제거를 위해 활성탄 흡착탑을 가장 많이 사용하고 있으나 제거효율이 낮아 악취배출시설의 허용기준을 만족할 수 없고, 고농도 유기용제 유입 시 화재위험이 있다. 지금까지 연구되어진 금속산화물 촉매는 VOCs 제거효율이 최소 $220^{\circ}C$ 근방에서 50% 이하였다. 본 연구에서는 이 보다 훨씬 낮은 온도인 $100^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 촉매산화가 시작되었고, 약 $160^{\circ}C$ 근방에서 VOCs가 95% 제거됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 적정처리가 가능한 범위는 공간속도가 $6,000hr^{-1}$ 이하일 때 최적의 제거효율을 나타내며, VOCs 유입농도가 200 ppm에서 4,000 ppm 사이, 촉매제어 온도가 $150{\sim}200^{\circ}C$에서 90~99%로 높은 제거효율을 보였고, VOCs 유입농도가 1,000 ppm 이상일 경우에는 자체반응열로 인해 외부열원이 필요 없었다. 본 저온촉매를 적용할 경우 LNG 와 LPG를 연료원으로 사용하는 RTO/RCO방식 대비 설치비는 50%, 연료비는 75% 감소되어 경제성이 높고 온실가스 발생량도 줄일 수 있었다. 그리고 황화합물과 산성가스에 대해서는 피독이 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

In this study, the air pollutant removal such as sulfur oxides was studied. A combination of the plasma discharge in the reactor by the reaction surface discharge reactor Calcium hydroxides catalytic reactor and air pollutants, hazardous gas SOx, changes in gas concentration, change in frequency, the thickness of the electrode, kinds of electrodes and the addition of simulated composite catalyst composed of a variety of gases, including decomposition experiments were performed by varying the process parameters. The experimental results showed the removal efficiency of 98% in the decomposition of sulfur oxides removal experiment when Calcium hydroxides catalysts and the tungsten(W) electrodes were used. It was increased 3% more than if you do not have the catalytic. If added to methane gas was added the removal efficiency increased decomposition.

This study was carried out to investigate the reaction characteristics of corona/catalyst hybrid $DeNO_x$ process. The experiments were performed by using the multi-staged pin-to-hole type corona reactor which is enable to control the pin-to-hole gap and to insert the catalyst. Also, used for this study, were catalysts which commercially used Pt, Pd and $TiO_2$, and oxygen and hydrocarbon ($C_2H_4$) as reagents. In the syn-gas test, at high temperatures in the range of $100{\sim}200^{\circ}C$, the corona-only $DeNO_x$ process did not reduce the $NO_x$ concentration effectively. However in the presence of ethylene and oxygen as reagents, the $NO_x$ removal efficiency was better at these high temperatures than corona-only $DeNO_x$ process. In addition, coronal catalyst hybrid process with $TiO_2$ showed more efficiency of $NO_x$ removal than Pt and Pd catalyst, because the $TiO_2$ catalyst was more active than Pt and Pd catalyst to converse the $NO_2$ to $HNO_3$. Furthermore, at the condition of real diesel exhaust gas, the $DeNO_x$ efficiency of corona/catalyst hybrid process was not good at higher reaction temperature and plasma density.

열중량분석기와 관형 고정층 반응기에서 $CuO/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 흡수제/촉매의 SOx와 NOx 동시제거 반응특성에 대하여 고찰하였다. $CuO/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 흡수제/촉매의 아황산가스 제거능은 반응온도 $450^{\circ}C$와 담지량 6wt% 이상에서 담체인 알루미나의 반응참여에 의하여 급격히 증가하였다. $CuO/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 흡수제/촉매의 탈질 효율은 반응온도, $370^{\circ}C$에서 최대값을 보였으며 그 이상의 온도에서는 $NH_3$가스의 산화반응에 의하여 반응온도가 증가할수록 제거효율은 감소하였다. 흡수제/촉매 표면에 sulfate가 존재하는 경우 최대 탈질 효율을 보이는 반응온도는 증가하였다. SOx와 NOx 동시 제거반응에서 $CuO/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 흡수제/촉매의 NO제거 활성은 $NH_4HSO_4$와 같은 암모늄염의 생성으로 인하여 크게 감소하였다. SOx와 NOx 동시제거 반응에 있어서 최대의 탈질 효율을 보이는 반응온도는 $SO_2$ 가스의 존재로 인하여 $400^{\circ}C$로 증가하였다.

$TiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$를 담체로 한 Pt계 촉매에서 NOx, soot의 동시 제거 반응과 촉매의 열충격에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 실험은 NOx와 soot의 반응을 독립 또는 동시에 반응시킨 조건으로 수행하였으며 그 결과 담체의 종류 및 상에 따라서 서로 상이한 NOx 제거능력과 soot 산화력을 나타내었고, soot의 산화시작온도의 결정은 NOx 제거능력과 상관관계가 있었다. NOx, soot의 동시 반응 시에는 생성된 $NO_2$에 의하여 soot 산화시작온도가 저온으로 이동하였다. 또한 열충격에 대한 NOx 제거율은 Pt/$Al_2O_3$ 촉매가 Pt/$TiO_2$ 촉매에 비하여 효율저하가 적게 일어났으며 soot 산화력은 활성점인 Pt의 소결현상에 의하여 촉매에 관계없이 모두 감소하였다.

In order to treat groundwater containing high levels of nitrate, nitrate reduction by nano sized zero-valent iron (nZVI) was studied using batch experiments. Compared to nitrate removal efficiencies at different mass ratios of $nitrate/Fe^0$, the removal efficiency at the mass ratio of 0.02% was the highest(54.59%). To enhance nitrate removal efficiency, surface modification of nZVI was performed using metallic catalysis such as Pd, Ni and Cu. Nitrate removal efficiency by Cu-nZVI (at $catalyst/Fe^0$ mass ratio of 0.1%) was 66.34%. It showed that the removal efficiency of Cu-nZVI was greater than that of the other catalysts. The observed rate constant ($k_{obs}$) of nitrate reduction by Cu-nZVI was estimated to $0.7501min^{-1}$ at the Cu/Fe mass ratio of 0.1%. On the other hand, TEM images showed that the average particle sizes of synthetic nZVI and Cu-nZVI were 40~60 and 80~100 nm, respectively. The results imply that catalyst effects may be more important than particle size effects in the enhancement of nitrate reduction by nZVI.

본 Mn-Cu-$TiO_2$ Civil 촉매를 이용하여 질소산화물을 제거하는 $NH_3$-SCR 공정에서 소성조건 및 산소농도에 대한 영향을 연구하였다. 소성된 촉매시료를 사용하여 $H_2$-TPR 시스템에서 반응온도에 따른 수소전환특성을 조사하였으며, 소성조건에 대한 비표면적변화도 측정하였다. 실험결과 적합한 소성온도는 약 $300^{\circ}C$이며, 소성온도가 $500^{\circ}C$이상일 경우 Mn, Cu 성분의 저온활성이 크게 감소함을 알 수 있었다. SCR반응에서 기상산소는 중요한 반응변수이며 반응에 적합한 농도는 약 8vol%이었다.

Livestock wastewater containing high concentrations of ammonium and nitrate ions was pretreated with microbubbles and an Fe/MgO catalyst prior to its application in microbial fuel cells because high ion concentrations can interfere with current generation. Therefore, tests were designed to ascertain the effect of pretreatment on current generation. In initial tests, the optimal amount of catalyst was found to be 300 g/l. When 1,000 ml/min $O_2$ was used as the oxidant, the removal of ammonium- and nitrate-nitrogen was highest. After the operating parameters were optimized, the removal of ammonium and nitrate ions was quantified. The maximum ammonium removal was 32.8%, and nitrate was removed by up to 75.8% at a 500 g/l catalyst concentration over the course of the 2 h reaction time. The current was about 0.5 mA when livestock wastewater was used without pretreatment, whereas the current increased to $2.14{\pm}0.08mA$ when livestock wastewater was pretreated with the method described above. This finding demonstrates that a 4-fold increase in the current can be achieved when using pretreated livestock wastewater. The maximum power density and current density performance were $10.3W/m^3$ and $67.5W/m^3$, respectively, during the evaluation of the microbial fuel cells driven by pretreated livestock wastewater.

The selective catalytic experiments using both sulfated/sulfur-free titania and V2O5/TiO2 catalysts have been conducted for NO reduction by NH3 in a packed-bed, down-flow reactor. The sulfated and vanadia loaded titania exhibited higher activity for NO removal than the sulfur-free catalysts, where > 90% NO removal was achieved over the sulfated V2O5/TiO2 catalyst between 280∼500 C. The surface structure of vanadia species on the catalyst surface played a critical role in the high performance of catalysts in which the existence of monomeric/polymeric vanadate is revealed by Raman spectra studies. Water vapor and SO2 were added to the reacting system for the catalyst deactivation tests. At higher temperatures (T ≥ 350 C), little deactivation was observed over the sulfated V2O5/TiO2 catalysts, showing good durability against SO2 and water vapor, which is compared with deactivation at lower temperatures.

The present study investigates the feasibility of nitrogenous heterocyclic compounds (NHCs) (Pyridine-Quinoline) degradation by catalytic wet peroxidation (CWPO) in the presence of nanoscale zerovalent iron supported on granular activated carbon (nFe⁰/GAC) using statistical optimization technique. Response surface methodology (RSM) in combination with Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to optimize the process parameters of CWPO process such as initial pH, catalyst dose, hydrogen peroxide dose, initial concentration of pyridine (Py) and quinolone (Qn) were chosen as the main variables, and total organic carbon (TOC) removal and total Fe leaching were selected as the investigated response. The optimization of process parameters by desirability function showed the ~85% of TOC removal with process condition of initial solution pH 3.5, catalyst dose of 0.55 g/L, hydrogen peroxide concentration of 0.34 mmol, initial concentration of Py 200 mg/L and initial concentration of Qn 200 mg/L. Further, for TOC removal the analysis of variance results of the RSM revealed that all parameter i.e. initial pH, catalyst dose, hydrogen peroxide dose, initial concentration of Py and initial concentration of Qn were highly significant according to the p values (p < 0.05). The quadratic model was found to be the best fit for experimental data. The present study revealed that BBD was reliable and effective for the determination of the optimum conditions for CWPO of NHCs (Py-Qn).
