Abstract

To develop a high performance SCR catalyst which has better specific surface area, lightness of weight and fast temperature response than those of existing commercial SCR catalyst, metal foam type SCR catalysts were prepared by washcoating with vanadium, tungsten and binder. The de-NOx performance test of the prepared catalysts was carried out on atmospheric micro-test unit at lab. scale according to space velocity variation and temperature change, and the characteristics of them were analyzed by Porosimeter, SEM(scanning electron microscope), EDX(energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer), ICP(inductively coupled plasma) and Stereomicroscope. The NOx reduction performance decreased as the space velocity increased and was found to be the best at 3.5 wt.% contents of the vanadium and tungsten. It was found that the larger amount of binder was added, the worse the NOx reduction performance was, which was considered to be that the number of active sites of the prepared catalyst surface was occupied by the binder. We found that the amount of binder to be added to prepare the catalyst should be properly controlled by the condition of coated catalyt surface.

본 연구에서는 기존 상용 SCR 촉매보다 비표면적, 경량성 및 온도 응답성이 우수한 SCR 촉매의 개발을 목적으로 바나듐과 텅스텐의 함량과 바인더의 첨가량을 달리하여 Metal foam 형태의 지지체에 코팅하여 SCR 촉매를 제조한 후, 실험실 규모의 마이크로 상압반응기상에서 공간속도별로 NOx 저감 성능을 측정하였다. 촉매의 특성은 Porosimeter, SEM(scanning electron microscope), EDX(energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer) 및 ICP(inductively coupled plasma), 실체현미경(Stereomicroscope) 기기를 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과 NOx 저감 성능은 공간속도가 증가할수록 감소하였고, 바나듐과 텅스텐의 함량이 3.5 wt.% 일 때 가장 우수한 것으로 확인하였다. 또한, 바인더 첨가량이 많을수록 NOx 저감 성능이 감소하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 촉매 표면상의 활성점 수가 바인더에 의해 점유되어 감소된 것에 따른 것으로 판단된다. 또한 표면 코팅 상태 분석을 통하여 바인더의 첨가량이 적절히 조절 되어야 함을 알 수 있었다.
