초록
연소 배기가스 중의 수분, 탄화수소 및 CO가 저온 플라즈마 및 NH3 SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)공정이 복합된 탈질공정에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 실험결과 일반적인 SCR 반응에 비해 매우 빠른 반응속도를 갖는 fast SCR 반응은 150~200 ℃의 저온조건에서 탈질율의 상승을 가져다주지만, 처리가스 중에 탄화수소가 있는 경우 fast SCR 반응의 역할이 상당히 감소되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 저온 플라즈마 반응기에서 부분산화반응을 통해 탄화수소 중 일부가 알데히드로 전환되며, 알데히드는 fast SCR 반응에 있어 중요한 변수인 NO2/NOx 비율에 영향을 주기 때문인 것으로 설명되었다. 한편, 수분 및 CO가 fast SCR 반응에 미치는 영향은 탄화수소에 비해 상대적으로 적음을 확인할 수 있었다.
Effects of water vapor, hydrocarbons, and CO, which are inevitably included in exhaust gases of combustion, on a combined De-NOx process of non-thermal plasma and NH3 SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) have been investigated. Test results showed that fast SCR reaction enhanced De-NOx rate under the low temperature conditions, 150~200 ℃. The present test, however, showed that the role of the fast SCR reaction can be significantly suppressed by addition of hydrocarbons in a non-thermal plasma reactor. Detailed investigation verified that such suppressed role of the fast SCR reaction could be caused by the NO2/NOx ratio modified by aldehydes produced from hydrocarbons in a non-thermal plasma reactor. In addition, the present study was confirmed that the effects of water vapor and CO were not noticeable compared with the hydrocarbon effects.
