Abstract

The deactivation of $V/TiO_2$ catalyst used in SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) using ammonia as a reductant to remove the nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust gas from fired power plant has been studied. The activity and surface area of the catalyst (Used-cat) which was exposed to the exhaust gas for long period have considerably decreased. The characterizations of these SCR catalysts were performed by XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, and IC/ICP. The crystal structure of $TiO_2$ both fresh and used catalyst has not been changed. However, $(NH_4)HSO_4$ deposited on the used catalyst surface verified from FT-IR, FE-SEM, and IC/ICP analysis. Moreover, the durability of $SO_2$ was increased by diminishing sulfate ($SO_4^{-2}$)f form.

화력 발전소에서 발생되는 질소산화물(NOx)을 제거하기 위하여 환원제로써 $NH_3$를 이용한 선택적 촉매환원법(Selective Catalytic Reduction: SCR)에 사용되는 $V/TiO_2$ 촉매의 활성저하에 관하여 연구하였다. 장기간 배기가스에 노출된 촉매(Used-cat)의 활성과 비표면적이 상당히 감소되었다. 촉매의 특성분석은 XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, IC/ICP 등을 이용하여 수행하였다. 분석결과 배기가스에 노출되지 않은 사용 전 촉매(Fresh-cat)와 사용 후 촉매(Used-cat) 두 촉매 모두 $TiO_2$의 결정구조는 변하지 않았다. 그러나, FT-IR, FE-SEM, IC/ICP에 의한 촉매의 특성분석결과 사용 후 촉매(Used-cat) 표면에 $(NH_4)HSO_4$가 침적이 되었음을 확인하였다. 또한, $SO_2$에 대한 내구성이 우수한 촉매일수록 표면에 형성되는 황산염($SO_4^{-2}$)이 적게 형성됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
