In this study, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reaction was performed using liqufied petroleum gas (LPG) as a reductant for removing NOx. The catalysts were manufactured with different amounts of Cu and Fe supported on HZSM-5 in order to remove NOx. The NOx conversion ratio was studied with changing the temperature and the catalyst amount. The catalysts were manufactured by calcination with flowing the ambient air at 500 ℃ for three hours. Cupper of 1∼4 wt% and iron of 0.5∼2 wt% were supported on HZSM-5 of which Si/Al ratio were 80. According to the reaction results, the catalyst which Cu of 3 wt% supported on HZSM-5 showed the highest conversion rate. XRD, XPS, and TPR analysis were also performed for the characterization of catalysts.

본 연구에서는 LPG (liqufied petroleum gas)를 환원제로 사용하여 질소산화물을 제거하는 SCR (selective catalytic reduction) 반응을 수행하였다. 질소산화물을 제거하기 위하여 HZSM-5 담체위에 Cu와 Fe를 함량을 달리하여 함침 시켜 촉매를 제조하였다. 질소산화물 전환율을 촉매의 종류와 촉매함량, 반응온도를 중심으로 연구하였다. 촉매는 500 ℃에서 공기흐름 분위기에서 3 h 동안 소성시켜 제조하였다. Cu는 1∼4 wt%, Fe는 0.5∼2 wt%가 되게 Si/Al 비가 80인 HZSM-5에 함침 시켰다. 반응실험 결과에 따르면 Cu가 HZSM-5 담체에 3 wt% 담지된 촉매의 전환율이 가장 높았다. 촉매의 특성화를 위하여 XRD, XPS, TPR 분석을 하였다.
