This study investigated formaldehyde (HCHO) removal by preparing porous supports using domestic low-grade silica coated with Co-ZSM5 and Cu-ZSM5 as the catalysts. First, the sample of the raw material for the support contained 90% silica with quartz crystal phase, which was confirmed as low-grade silica. According to Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analyses, the catalysts, Co-ZSM5 and Cu-ZSM5, were successfully coated on the surface of the porous silica supports. During the removal test of HCHO using the prepared Co-ZSM5 and Cu-ZSM5 coated beads, depending on the reaction temperature, the Co-ZSM5 coated beads exhibited higher removal efficiencies (>97%) than the Cu-ZSM5 beads at 200 ℃. The higher efficiency of the Co-ZSM5 coating may be attributed to its superior surface activity properties (BET surface area and pore volume) that lead to the favorable HCHO decomposition. Therefore, Co-ZSM5 was determined to be the suitable catalyst for removing HCHO as a coating on a porous support fabricated using domestic low-grade silica.

Selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide by methane in the presence of excess oxygen was investigated over copper and cobalt ion-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolites. Copper ion-exchanged ZSM-5(Cu-ZSM-5) has the limitations for commercial applications to lean-bum gasoline and diesel engines due to low thermal stability and resistance to water vapor and sulfur dioxide. But cobalt ion-exchanged ESM-5(Co-ZSM-5) is more active at high temperatures and also stable to water vapor and sulfur dioxide for catalytic reduction of nitric oxide by methane. The catalytic activity of Cu-ZSM-5 for NO reduction increases with increasing temperatures, reaches the maximum conversion of 23.0% at 350\"C. and then decreases with higher temperatures. In the meantime catalytic activities of Co-ZSM-5 show the maximum conversion of 25.8% at $500^{\circ}C$ Therefore Co-ZSM-5 catalysts have higher thermal stability at high temperatures. Catalytic activities of both zeolites were remarkably enhanced with the existence of oxygen in the exhaust. It is noted that the catalytic activity of Cu-ZSM-5 decreases with the increasing concentration of methane while the catalytic activity of Co-ZSM-5 decreases with increasing contents of methane in the exhaust. This may imply the existence of different paths of NO reduction by methane in the presence of excess oxygen fur Cu-ZSM-5 and Co-ZSM-5 catalysts. For binary metal ionexchanged ZSM-5, the primary ion-exchanged metal may be masked by secondary ion-exchanged component, which plays the important role for catalytic activities of binary metal ion-exchanged ZSM-5, Therefore CuCo-ZSM-5 catalysts show the similar volcano-shaped curves to Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts between the activity and temperature. It Is interesting that the activities of CoCu-ZSM-5 catalysts indicate almost no dependence on the concentration of methane in the exhaust.aust.

The catalytic filter of Cu-ZSM5/alumina beads was considered to reduce NOx in the urea SCR system. Catalytic support of porous alumina beads with mean pore size $130{\mu}m$ and porosity $75{\sim}83%$ were prepared using foaming and gel-casting method. The Cu-ZSM5 catalysts were coated on the supporting alumina beads using $Cu(NO_3)_2$ by ion exchange method. After a washcoating process was applied to coat 10w% Cu-ZSM5 on porous alumina bead, coating layer was estimated $20{\mu}m$ in thickness. The characterization and the feasibility as a catalytic supports were investigated. And the NOx conversion test in Cu-ZSM5/Alumina Beads filter system was conducted by using Urea as reductants under laboratory test. The NOx conversion was increased as size and porosity of beads and observed more than 95% excellent NOx conversion above $300^{\circ}C$.

Highly crystalline Cu-ZSM5 was prepared without using organic templates. Several ion exchange treatments between Na$\^$＋/ and Cu$\^$2＋/ brought about excess loading of copper ions on the ZSM5 zeolite and the resultant zeolite was active for the decomposition of NO. This indicates that the copper ions excessively loaded on the ZSM5 zeolite are effective for the NO decomposition. When oxygen was added to a reactants, the conversion of NO decreased. NO, O$_2$TPD experiments explained that the active sites for NO decomposition and the adsorption sites of O$_2$, were the same. O$_2$, at the surface of ZSM5 zeolite was desorbed incompletely after pretreatment at 500$^{\circ}C$, and CU-ZSM5 pretreated with H$_2$at 500$^{\circ}C$ showed promoted activity at the start of reaction. Thus, it seems clear that O$_2$, adsorbed ai the surface of catalyst inhibits the catalytic activity.

The $NH_3$-selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reaction of NO with excess of oxygen were systematically investigated over Cu-zeolite and Fe-zeolite catalysts. Cu-zeolite and Fe-zeolite catatysts to adapt the SCR technology for mobile diesel engines were prepared by liquid ion exchange and incipient wetness impregnation of $NH_4$-BEA and $NH_4$-ZSM-5 zeolites. The catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD, FE-TEM (field emission transmission electron microscopy) and SEM/EDS. The SCR examinations performed under stationary conditions showed that the Cu-exchanged BEA catalyst revealed pronounced performance at low temperatures of $200{\sim}250^{\circ}C$. With respect to the Fe-zeolite catalyst, the Cu-zeolite catalyst showed a higher activity in the SCR reaction at low temperatures below $250^{\circ}C$. BEA zeolite based catalyst exhibited good activity in comparison with ZSM-5 zeolite based catalyst at low temperatures below $250^{\circ}C$.

The exhaust gas from vehicle engines and industrial boilers contains considerable amount of harmful nitrogen monoxide(NO) which causes air pollusion and acid rain. To remove NO catalytic reduction processes using Cu ion exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite have been widely studied. In this study, an attempt was made to fabricate Cu/zeolite catalyst by using high energy ball mill. The catalytic performance of ball milled Cu/ZSM-5 zeolites is analyzed and optimum copper contents was determined. The processing variables were reaction temperature and copper contents. Complete removal of NO gas was obtained at the temperature of 553 K on 10wt.% CU/ZSM-5 mechanically alloyed composite powders. Mechanically alloyed CU/ZSM-5 catalyst showed homogeneous distribution of Cu in ZSM-5.

Investigation was carried out lean burn de-NOx properties of Pt-$TiO_2$ bifunctional catalyst by propylene in order to get the high de-NOx activity and the wide temperature window under coexistence of $SO_2$ and $H_2O$. Only noncatalyst and carrier catalyst themselves had NOx conversion activity at high temperature over $400^{\circ}C$. NOx conversion activity of catalysts exchanged copper ion resulted in Cu-$TiO_2$>Cu-ZSM-5>Cu-$Al_2O_3$>CU-YZ>Cu-AZ. Catalysts impregnated with platinum based on titania gave the results of high NOx conversion activity at low temperature. $250^{\circ}C$. Bifunctional catalysts based on Pt-$TiO_2$ showed high NOx conversion activity both at a low zone of $300^{\circ}C$ and a high zone of $500^{\circ}C$. Pt-$TiO_2$/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst gave the highest NOx conversion activity at a low temperature zone. and Pt-$TiO_2$/$Mn_2O_3$(21) catalyst gave the highest NOx conversion activity at a high temperature zone. Under the coexistence of $SO_2$ and $H_2O$. NOx conversion activities of 0.55wt%Pt-$TiO_2$/5wt%Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst was high both at a low and high temperature zone, and increased depending on oxygen concentration. 0.55wt%Pt-$TiO_2$/5wt%Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst showed the best correlation between de-NOx activities and the propyl ere conversion rates to CO on the log function.

In this study, in order to make up its draw-back in Cu-ZSM-5 catalytic system, some of transition metals or alkaline earth metals were cocation-exchanged in Cu-ZSM-5. Among various cocation-ion-exchanged ZSM-5 catalysts, Mg/Cu-ZSM-5 has been found the most active and durable in NOx reduction even at high oxygen content as well as at the presence of water vapor. The role of Mg in ZSM-5 is supposed to prevent the dealumination of aluminum ions in super-cage even at harsh hydro-thermal conditions, and also it seems to stabilize the Cu ions in the structure. In order to prepare commercially available catalysts, Mg/Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts were wash-coated on the surface of honeycomb type monolith, and tested in terms of catalytic activities. As a result, it was found that the catalyst prepared bt the wash-coating showed satisfactorily high NOx conversion for the practical use in SCR process.

Fe, Co, Zn, Cu, Pt 등의 전이금속과 ZSM-5 2종($SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ 몰비: 23, 50)과 ${\gamma}-alumina$를 담체로 사용하여 촉매를 합성하였다. 합성방법은 CVD(화학기상증착법) 과 Dry Impregnation (건식함침법), Incipient Wetness Impregnation방법이 있다. CVD 방법으로 얻은 Fe/ZSM-5과 Dry Impregnation방법으로 얻은 Cu/ZSM-5은 NO저감효율에 있어 거의 비슷하였다. 지지체로 사용된 ZSM-5의 $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$의 몰 비가 작을수록, 즉 산점의 수가 많을수록 우수한 것으로 보인다.

$De-NO_x$ transition metals(Cu, Co)/ZSM-5 catalyst was made by mechanical alloying method, and their microstructures and repeated usage-properties were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The conversions ability of NO in the catalyst was measured. A part of ZSM-5 in CO/ZSM-5 composite powders was amorphous and the amorphous phase became less stable with increasing Co content. Conversion ability of NO in 10Cu/ZSM-5 powders decreased from 89% to 12% and that in 10Co/ZSM-5 decreased from 22% to 17% by 7 times conversion tests.
