본 연구에서는 오리멀젼 연소 발전소 SCR 설비의 최적 운전과 폐촉매의 재생 기술개발을 위해 기초가 되는 촉매의 피독정도와 원인을 촉매의 특성 분석 및 반응 시험을 통해 규명하였다. 시험 결과 비활성화된 촉매의 활성은 350$sim$450$^{circ}C$의 반응온도에서 약 5$sim$10% 감소하였으며 SO$_2$의 산화율은 약 0.59% 증가하였다. 성분 분석 결과, 다량의 V, Mg, S 성분이 비활성화된 촉매에서 증가하였으며 이중 V 성분과 S 성분은 오리멀젼 연료 성분에 기인하고 Mg 성분은 V에 의한 SO$_2$의 SO$_3$로의 산화를 방지하기 위해 주입되는 MgO 성분에 기인한다. 촉매담체의 결정구조는 신촉매의 결정구조와 같은 anatase 형태의 결정구조를 유지하여 운전에 따른 촉매의 열적 소결현상은 관찰되지 않았다.
Deactivation of SCR catalyst applied in Orimusion fuel power plant was investigated to develope the technique for the regeneration of deactivated SCR catalyst and optimize the operation of SCR facility. The characterization study of the catalysts was carried out using XRD, ICP-AES, SEM and EDS. The NO$_X$ removal activity and SO$_2$ oxidation activity of the catalysts were measured. The NO$_X$ conversion of the deactivated catalyst was 5$sim$10% lower than that of the fresh catalyst and the value of SO$_2$conversion to SO$_3$ over the deactivated catalyst was about 0.59% higher than that of the fresh catalyst. Vanadium(V), Magnesium(Mg) and Sulfur(S) were largely accumulated in the deactivated catalyst. The accumulation of Vanadium(V) and Sulfur(S) is due to the components of the Orimulsion fuel and the accumulation of Magnesium(Mg) is due to MgO that is injected in the boiler to prevent the oxidation of SO$_2$ to SO$_3$. The diffraction line of the TiO$_2$ of the deactivated catalyst was identified as the crystalline peaks of anatase as the fresh catalyst.
