Abstract

Various commercial catalysts used in chemical related applications have been disposed as an industrial waste when the catalytic activity of catalysts is not good enough to achieve an optimum yield. In addition, the amount of disposed three way catalysts (TWC) has been continuously increased. Considering the physicochemical, environmental, and economical characteristics, the deactivated spent catalysts can be treated in several alternative ways such as regeneration, recycling, and disposal. In view of the environmental and economical matters, the spent catalyst should be regenerated and used for the various purposes, although its activity is not as good as a fresh catalyst. On the other hand, spent catalysts containing noble and metal oxides can be applicable for the catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by applying the proper treatment method. Therefore in this review the quantity of the spent catalysts and the available regeneration methods for the spent catalysts are briefly summarized and especially the proper regeneration method for applying the catalytic oxidation of VOCs and its results are introduced.

화학 산업과 관련된 많은 사업장에서 다양한 종류의 촉매를 사용하고 있으며 이들 촉매의 활성이 감소하면 산업 폐기물로서 폐기하고 있다. 또한 자동차에서 발생하는 폐 촉매의 양도 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 활성이 감소되어 폐기된 촉매는 촉매가 지니고 있는 물리화학적 특성, 관련 환경 규제 및 경제적 효과를 고려하여 재생, 재이용, 또는 폐기될 수 있다. 폐기된 촉매는 휘발성 유기화합물(VOCs) 제거에 효과적인 것으로 알려진 귀금속이나 금속산화물을 포함하고 있으므로 적절한 처리과정을 거치면 VOCs 제거에 이용할 수 있다. 따라서 본 총설에서는 폐 촉매의 발생 및 사용 현황을 요약 정리하였으며, 특히 재생된 폐 촉매상에서 VOCs 촉매산화반응을 조사하여 그 결과를 소개하였다.
