Abstract

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is the most effective method for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions, but the operating temperature range of V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts is narrow (300~400℃). In this study, a new catalyst with an operating temperature range of 200~450℃ was developed. The catalyst poison, ammonium bisulfate, generated during the SCR process can be removed by heating above 350℃. To increase the number of active sites and promote the dispersion of active materials, titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) treatment was performed on the TiO2 support with various TTIP/TiO2 mass ratios. Among them, the 5 wt% TTIP loaded catalyst showed improved performance due to higher thermal stability caused by high W dispersion and the formation of V5+. In addition, the 5 wt% TTIP-loaded catalyst prepared by a one-step co-precipitation method showed greater V-OH and W-OH dispersion and enhanced interactions in contrast to conventional methods, resulting in higher catalytic activity at lower temperatures. This review article aims to provide an accessible explanation for researchers investigating how to improve the surface properties of TiO2 catalysts using TTIP.

선택적 촉매 환원(SCR)은 질소산화물 배출을 줄이는 가장 효과적인 방법이지만, V2O5-WO3/TiO2 촉매가 좁은 작동온도 (300~400℃) 범위를 가지기 때문에, V2O5-WO3/TiO2 촉매의 작동 온도범위가 200~450℃인 새로운 촉매를 개발하였다. SCR 과정에서 생성되는 촉매 독인 황산암모늄은 350℃ 이상으로 가열함으로써 제거할 수 있다. 촉매 활성 부위의 수를 증가시키고 활성 물질의 분산을 촉진하기 위해 TiO2 지지체에 티타늄 이소프로폭사이드(TTIP) 처리를 여러 TTIP/TiO2 질량비로 진행하였다. 그 중 5 wt% TTIP 부하에서 높은 W 분산성으로 인해 열 안정성이 증가하였고 V5+가 형성되어 최적의 성능을 보였다. 5 wt% TTIP 부하로 처리된 촉매를 One-step co-precipitation으로 제조하였을 때 기존의 방법보다 더 나은 V-OH와 W-OH 분산 및 상호작용 향상이 나타나 더 낮은 온도에서 높은 촉매 활성으로 인해 향상된 성능을 보였다. 이를 향후 TTIP를 이용하여 TiO2촉매의 표면을 개선하려는 연구자에게 이해하기 쉽게 설명하고자 하였다.
