Fine dust in air pollutants is recognized as one of the most serious social environmental problems. Most of the NOx is generated in a combustion process such as that of a coal-fired power plant, and therefore efficient elimination of the NOx from the coal-fired power plants is needed. This study investigates the removal efficiency of using $TiO_2$, a photocatalyst, to remove NOx by Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). To evaluate the NOx removal efficiency, $TiO_2$ catalyst and phosphate binder were mixed on the surface of the $Al_2O_3$ substrate with the exothermic agent, and the substrate was heat-treated. The NOx removal efficiency of the catalysts was evaluated according to the temperature, and XRD, SEM, TG-DTA and BET analyzes were performed to investigate the physicochemical properties of the catalysts. NOx removal efficiency was 58.7%~65.9% at 20min, 63.7~66.0% at 30min with temperature change according to time($250^{\circ}C{\sim}500^{\circ}C$). The $TiO_2$ used in the SCR for NOx removal is judged to have the most efficient removal efficiency at $300^{\circ}C$.

National and international regulations on the exhaust gases of diesel engines are being strengthened, and a study of the combutsion engine and the post-porcessing system are in progress as a variety of ways. There are many techniques for the removal of nitrogen oxide like HC-SCR, LNT, Urea-SCR. And the technical development on the Urea-SCR owing to high conversion efficiency and fuel economy characteristics has being processed. This study investigated the physical/chemical properties of urea according to the change of the urea content, and were analysed the characteristic of exhaust gas. According to the increase of urea content, the contests of biuret aldehyde, phosphate content was increased and the changes of emission quantity of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulate matter in the exhaust gas was very slight. The emission quantity of NOx was decreased in accordance with increasing the urea content and it was shown to be more than 80 % in the urea solution having more than 30 wt%.

The effects of an urae injection at the exhaust pipe for a 4-cylinder DI(Direct Injection) diesel engine are investigated experimentally. The urea quantity was controlled by NOx quantity and MAF(Manifold Air Flow). The urea injection must be precisely metered and then I used the urea syringe pump. I have tested 4 kinds of items that were with the EGR base engine and without the EGR engine. Then I tested each urea-SCR(Selective Catalytic Reduction) system. As the results, I can caculate the SUF(Stoichiometric Urea Flow) and visualize the NOx results by variation of engine speed and engine load. Also, I can make the NOx map. Therfore, I knew that NOx reduction effects of the urea-SCR system without the EGR engine were better than the with EGR base engine except of low load and low speed.

산업의 고도화 및 도시의 집중화로 오염물질의 종류가 다양화 되었으며 여러 가지 오염물질 중에서도 비산 분진, 황산화물(SOx) 등은 연료 중의 특정성분을 제거하거나 연료를 대체하여 그 배출량을 줄일 수 있다. 그러나 질소산화물(NOx)의 경우에는 연료의 문제가 아니라 연소과정에서 반드시 발생되는 특징을 가진 오염물질이다. 이와 같이 환경오염물질의 제거기술에 있어 가장 중요하게 고려되어야 할 사항은 오염가스 제거의 효율성과 경제성이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사무실, 가정 등 주로 실내공기정화를 위하여 NOx 제거를 위한 선 대 평판형 플라즈마 반응기에 자석의 개수에 의한 자계세기 및 자속밀도 시뮬레이션과 도출된 시뮬레이션 결과를 바탕으로 제작된 반응기에 자석을 부가한 NOx 제거에 대한 실험을 하였다. 그 결과 자석을 부가한 경우가 NOx 제거효과에 있어 효율이 좋음을 알 수 있었다.

To meet the requirements of the Tier 4 interim regulations for off-road vehicles, emissions of particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) must be reduced by 95% and 30%, respectively, compared to current regulations. In this research, both the DPF and HPL EGR systems were investigated, with the aim of decreasing the PM and NOx emissions of a 56-kW off-road vehicle. The results of the experiments show that the DOC-DPF system is very useful for reducing PM emissions. It is also found that the back pressure is acceptable, and the rate of power loss is less than 5%. By applying the HPL EGR system to the diesel engine, the NOx emissions under low- and middle-load conditions are reduced effectively because of the high differential pressure between the turbocharger inlet and the intake manifold. The NOx emissions can be decreased by increasing the EGR rate, but total hydrocarbon (THC) emission increases because of the increased fuel consumption needed to compensate for the power loss caused by EGR and DPF.

This study tested the effect of de-NOx Facility operating condition on Nox emisiion in a 125 MW wood pellet power plant in Yeongdong Eco Power Plant Unit 1, which is in operation. As SNCR urea flow rate increased, NOx emission gradually decreased, but ammonia slip after SCR increased. The boiler under test has a structure that is unfavorable to SNCR operation due to the high internal temperature, and the optimum location of the nozzle will be required. SCR dilution air temperature change did not affect the amount of NOx generated. Increasing SCR ammonia flow reduced the NOx emission at SCR outlet and also increased the NOx removal efficiency. However, the ammonia flow rate of 111 kg/h, which does not exceed the ammonia slip its own reference limit, is estimated to be the maximum operating standard. The increase in SCR mixer pressure reduced NOx emission and the removal efficiency was also measured to be the most effective variable to inhibit NOx production.

A basic experimental study has been carried out to find out the design parameters of fuel 2-staging atomizers in order to reduce nitrogen oxides(NOx) rate emitted from the steam boilers used the liquid fuel. The heavy fuel oil(B-Coil) and fuel 2-staging Y-jet twin-fluid atomizers were adopted in this study. The results of this paper were obtained from the real as well as the model scale atomizers. In the case of model atomizers test, NOx reduction rate was strongly dependent on the staged fuel rate, but it was weakly dependent on the injection hole arrangement and air swirl conditions. The real scale atomizers was designed and manufactured on the base of these test results, and those was mounted and operated in the real boiler generates 185 ton steam per an hour. The reduction rate of the model and real plant was reached 10∼30% of base NOx by atomizers. but dust was sharply increased in the low O$_2$combustion region of the real plant.

The present study estimated nitrogen budget of South Korea including nitrogen oxides (NOx) in 2011. Emission sources of NOx were calculated with the higher contributors, such as vehicles, businesses, power plants, based on the IPCC and EPA reports. Moreover, nitrogen budget was separated for city, agriculture livestock and forest. Input and output were chemical fertilizer, crop uptake, fixation, irrigation, compost, leaching, volatilization, imported food, denitrification, runoff, and so on. Annual nitrogen input were 1,692,650 ton/yr and output were 837,739 ton/yr which were increased from 2010 budget. In 2011, NOx emissions by vehicles, power plants, and businesses were 308,207 ton/yr, 601,437 ton/yr, and 469,946 ton/yr, respectively. Including nitrogen oxide, total nitrogen input and output in 2011 was calculated as 5,652,366 ton/yr and 1,425,371 ton/yr, respectively.
