본 연구에서는 배가스 내 존재하는 오염물질인 NO의 처리효율을 증대시키기 위하여 NO 산화 공정을 연구하였으며, 강력한 산화력의 건식산화제를 제조하는 방법으로 H2O2 촉매분해가 도입되었다. H2O2 분해공정 상에서 적용 가능한 K-Mn/Fe2O3 불균일계 촉매가 제조되었으며, 이들이 가지는 물리화학 적 특성이 H2O2 분해반응에 미치는 영향이 조사되었다. 제조된 건식산화제는 NO가 포함된 모사 배가스를 처리하기 위한 NO 산화공정에 적용되었으며, 다양한 모사 배가스의 유량(5, 10, 20 L/min)에서 약 100% 가까운 NO 전환율을 확인 하였다.

본 연구에서는 촉매 상 H2O2 전환에 의해 건식산화제가 생성되었으며, 이를 이용한 NO 산 화 공정에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 건식산화제를 생성하기 위한 H2O2 촉매 전환에 관한 실험을 수행 한 결과, Mn계 촉매의 성능이 가장 우수하였으며, 이를 통해 생성된 건식산화제를 NO 산화공정에 주 입하여 다양한 운전조건에서 NO 산화특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과, H2O2 주입량, 산화반응온도, 그리고 공간속도가 NO 산화율에 크게 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고, 산화반응온도와 H2O2 주입량 이 증가할수록 NO 산화효율이 증가하였으며, 공간속도가 증가할수록 NO 산화효율이 감소하였다.

The objective of this study is to investigate partial oxidation of NO with desulfurization in dry sorbent injection(DSI) process using dry sorbent and additives. The effect of the main operating variables directly related to desulfurization efficiency has been also tested. These variables are Ca/S ratio, temperature, inlet SO2 concentration and gas flow rate. The experiment was carried out for partial oxidation of NO with desulfurization in dry sorbent injection process using NaClO2 and CaCl2. The experimental results showed that partial oxidation of NO with desulfurization was increased in DSI process using little NaClO2. It was also found that the injection of CaCl2 was effective in increasing only SO2 removal efficiency. Increase of SO2 removal performance and promotion of partial oxidation of NO using the two additives at low temperature was confirmed.

Catalytic reduction and oxidation of NO over polyacrylonitrile based activated carbon fibers (PAN-ACF) under various conditions were carried out to develop removal process of NO from the flue gas. The effect of temperature, oxygen concentration and the moisture content for the reduction of NO with ammonia as a reducing agent was investigated. The reduction of NO increased with the oxygen concentration, but decreased with the increased temperature. The moisture content in the flue gas affects the reduction of NO as the inhibition of the adsorption of the other components and the reaction on the surface of ACE For the oxidation of NO to NO2 over PAN-ACF without using a reducing gas, it showed the temperature and the oxygen concentration of the flue gas are the important factors for the NO conversion in which the conversion increased with oxygen concentration and decreased with the temperature increase and might be the alternative option for the selective catalytic reduction process.

In this study, the fundamental experiments were performed for catalytic oxidation of NO (50 ppm) on MnO2 in the presence of ozone. The experiments were carried out at various catalytic temperatures (30-120℃) and ozone concentrations (50-150 ppm) to investigate the behavior of NO oxidation. The honeycomb type MnO2 catalyst was rectangular with a cell density of 300 cells per squuare inch. Due to O3 injection, NO reacted with O3 to form NO2, which was adsorbed at the MnO2 surface. The excessive ozone was decomposed to O* onto the MnO2 catalyst bed, and then that O* was reacted with NO2 to form NO3-. It was found that the optimal O3/NO ratio for catalytic oxidation of NO on MnO2 was 2.0, and the NO removal efficiency on MnO2 was 83% at 30℃. As a result, NO was converted mainly to NO3-.
