This work investigated the catalytic reaction characteristics of $H_2$ SCR applied at low temperature ($80{\sim}150^{\circ}C$) using Pt catalyst supported on $TiO_2$. The experiments were performed in terms of $H_2O$, $O_2$ in reaction gas, calcination temperature of the Pt catalyst, $H_2$/NOx mole ratio, space velocity. $H_2O$ was an inhibitor of reaction on $H_2$ SCR using Pt catalyst, catalytic performance increased as $O_2$ concentration decreased. Nevertheless, $NH_3$ slip generated by the reaction between NOx and $H_2$ in the absence of $O_2$. While it was effective to calcine less than $600^{\circ}C$ by phase transition and the catalytic performance increased as $H_2$/NOx mole ratio increased. However, $H_2$ slip was not observed at that increase mole ratio by $H_2$ oxidation to $H_2O$.

The commercial $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalysts which had been exposed to the off gas from incinerator for a long time were regenerated by physical and chemical treatment. The catalytic properties and NOx conversion reactivity of those catalysts were examined by analysis equipment and NOx conversion experiment. The characterization of the catalysts were performed by XRD(x-ray diffractometer), BET, POROSIMETER, EDX(energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer), ICP(inductively coupled plasma), TGA(thermogravimetric analyzer) and SEM (scanning electron microscopy). NOx conversion experiment were performed with simulated off gas of the incinerator and $NH_3$ was used as a reductant of SCR reaction. Among the regeneration treatment methods which were applied to regenerate the aged catalysts in this study, it showed that the heat treatment method had excellent regeneration effect on the catalytic performance for NOx conversion. The catalytic performance of the regenerated catalysts with heat treatment method were recovered over than 95% of that of fresh catalyst. For the regenerated catalysts with the acid solution(pH 5) and the alkali solution(pH 12), the catalytic performance were recovered over than 90% of that of fresh catalyst. From the characterization results of the regenerated catalysts, the specific surface area was recovered in the range of $85{\sim}95%$ of that of fresh catalyst. S and Ca element, which are well known as the deactivation materials for the SCR catalysts, accumulated on the aged catalyst surface were removed up to maximum 99%. Among the P, Cr, Zn and Pb elements accumulated on the aged catalyst surface, P, Cr and Zn element were removed up to 95%. But the Pb element were removed in the range of $10{\sim}30%$ of that of fresh catalyst.

DeNOx catalysts composed of Mn, Cu and $TiO_2$ were prepared and tested for $NH_3$-SCR. The performance of each catalyst was studied for the NOx removal efficiency while changing the calcination temperature, reaction time, and oxygen concentration. The hydrogen conversion efficiency of a calcined catalyst was measured at the $H_2$-TPR system. The change in the specific surface area of catalyst according to the calcination temperature was analyzed. As a result, the proper calcination temperature was approximately $300^{\circ}C$. If the calcination temperature is increased to $500^{\circ}C$, the NOx removal efficiency of Mn and Cu constituents is largely decreased at the low temperature range. Oxygen in flue gas is an important parameter in the SCR reaction and optimal oxygen concentration is approximately 8 vol.%.

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.

NOx is an important air pollution material which is generated when fossil fuels are burning, NOx removal in flue gas by selective catalytic reduction was studied over various catalysts in a fixed bed continuous flow reactor. The ranges of experimental conditions were at the temperatures between $200^\circ$C and $350^\circ$C, the $NH_3/NOx$ mole ratios between 0.8 and 1.4, oxygen concentrations between 1.5% and 3% and the space velocities between 5, 000 $hr^-1$ and 12, 500 $hr^-1$. The efficiency of NOx removal in the ranges of experimental conditions was highest at the temp. of 300$^\circ$C, oxygen concentration of 2.5-2.6% and $NH_3/NOx$ mole ratios of 1.0-1.2. The catalyst with high activity for NOx removal in flue gas was found to be $MoO_3-V_2O_5/TiO_2$.

Activated hwangtoh (ACT) is a natural resource abundant in South Korea, approximately 15.0% of soil. It is an efficient mineral admixture that has activated pozzolanic properties through high-temperature heating and rapid cooling. The purpose of this study is to improve a curb mixture that can reduce NOx outside and investigate durability performance. To this end, mortar curb specimens were manufactured by replacing OPC with ACT. The ACT substitution ratios of 0.0, 10.0, and 25.0% were considered, and mechanical and durability tests on the curb specimens were conducted at 28 and 91 days of age. Steam curing was carried out for three days for the production of curbs, which was very effective to strength development at early ages. The reduction in strength at early ages could be compensated through this process, and no significant performance degradation was evaluated in the tests on chloride attack, carbonation, and freezing and thawing. The mortar curb with an ACT of 10.0~25.0% replacement ratio exhibited clear NOx reduction through photocatalytic (TiO2) treatment. This is due to the increase in physical absorption through surface absorption and the photocatalyst-containing TiO2 coating. In this study, the reasonable range of the ACT replacement ratio for NOx reduction was quantitatively evaluated through a comprehensive analysis of each test.

The NOx conversion properties of Mn-Cu-$TiO_2$ and $V_2O_5$/$TiO_2$ catalysts were studied for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with ammonia. The performance of the catalysts was investigated in terms of their $NOx$ conversion activity as a function of the reaction temperature and space velocity. The activity of the Mn-Cu-$TiO_2$ catalyst decreased with increasing reaction temperature and space velocity. However, the activity of the $V_2O_5$/$TiO_2$ catalyst increased with increasing reaction temperature. High activity of the Mn-Cu-$TiO_2$ catalyst was observed at temperatures below $200^{\circ}C$. H2-TPR and XPS analyses were conducted to explain these results. It was found that the activity of the Mn-Cu-$TiO_2$ catalyst was influenced by the thermal shock caused by the change of the initial reaction temperature, whereas the $V_2O_5$/$TiO_2$ catalyst was not affected by the initial reaction temperature. In the case of catalyst C, the $NO_x$ conversion efficiency decreased with increasing space velocity. The decrease in the $NO_x$ conversion efficiency with increasing space velocity was much less for catalyst D than for catalyst C.

SNCR 기술을 이용한 NOx 저감은 반응온도 850～$1100^{\circ}C$에서 효과적이였으며, 몰비($NH_3$/NOx), $O_2$ 농도에 상당히 영향을 받고 있었다. 최적온도 $950^{\circ}C$, 몰비 1.5에서 약65%의 NOx 제거효율을 얻을 수 있으며, 온도구배가 없고 $O_2$ 농도가 2～4%로 낮아질 경우 더 높은 제거효율이 기대된다. SCR 기술에 의한 NOx 저감을 위해 $V_3$$O_{5}$/-$WO_3$/$TiO_2$ 상용촉매를 사용하였으며, 반응 온도는 200～$500^{\circ}C$ 범위로 확인되었으며, 약 84%의 NOx 제거효율이 몰비 1.5 에서 얻어졌다. $O_2$ 농도가 21%로 높아짐에 따라 상당히 효율이 떨어짐이 밝혀졌다. SNCR/SCR combined 시스템은 몰비=2.0, $T_{SNCR}$/=$850^{\circ}C$, $T_{SCR}$ /=$350^{\circ}C$ 반응조건에서는 약 93%의 NOx 저감효율을 보여주어 SNCR, SCR 단위기술보다 더 효과적이었다.

In this study, the effect of characteristics of colloidal silica, which was used as an additive in the compression/coating catalyst process, on activities and thermal stabilities of the catalysts was investigated. The shape, size, specific surface area and porosity, and composition of four different types of colloidal silica materials were analyzed, and the NOx conversion of V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst prepared by these colloidal silica were studied. Properties of the catalysts prepared by colloidal silica depend on the nature of the colloidal silica used, in particular the alkaline substances such as Na in the silica were evaluated to be directly effect on the deNOx conversion of the catalyst. In addition, higher silica contents in the colloidal silica were found to improve the deNOx activity and thermal stability of the catalyst.
