The present invention relates to an exhaust gas purification apparatus, and more particularly, to an exhaust gas purification apparatus for removing particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen compounds (NOx) contained in exhaust gas exhausted from an engine.

In general, a diesel engine is equipped with a nitrogen oxide storage catalyst (LNT) and a catalyst filtration filter (CPF) to capture nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM).

On the other hand, the sulfur component contained in the fuel contaminates the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst, there is a problem that the storage efficiency and regeneration efficiency of the nitrogen oxide is lowered.

Figure 4 is a graph showing the sulfur oxide poisoning state of a typical nitrogen oxide storage catalyst.

Referring to FIG. 4, sulfur oxide (SOx) is adsorbed at the front end of the catalyst to lower the trapping ability of nitrogen oxides to reduce the purification ability of the exhaust gas.

As described above, a separate sulfur removal mode for regenerating the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst contaminated with sulfur components is performed, wherein the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst is heated to 600 degrees Celsius to 700 degrees Celsius. Here, there is a problem in that the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst is deteriorated due to high temperature.

In addition, in order to prevent the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst from being contaminated with sulfur components, a sulfur component collecting device may be separately provided, but there is a problem in that the cost increases, and a sulfur removing mode for removing sulfur components from the sulfur component collecting device is further provided. need.

The alkali metal or alkaline earth metal is mixed with a wash coat to form a coating on the catalyst filter, and the sulfur oxides collected in the catalyst filter by the alkali metal or alkaline earth metal are above a predetermined temperature during regeneration of the catalyst filter. It is separated and removed.

The set temperature is included in the range of 600 degrees Celsius to 800 degrees Celsius, the regeneration of the catalyst filter is regenerated in 500km to 1000km cycle based on the driving distance.

When the catalyst filtration filter is regenerated, the temperature of the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst installed at the rear end of the catalyst filtration filter is in the range of 500 ° C to 550 ° C so that the sulfur oxide separated from the catalyst filtration filter is not occluded in the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst. It is discharged to the outside to be removed to the outside, and includes a diesel fuel decomposition catalyst (DFC) for producing a reducing agent using a raw material which is mounted in front of the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst and post-injected, the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst using the reducing agent It is preferable to occlude nitrogen oxide.

Can be prevented.

In addition, the efficiency of the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst is improved, and a separate collecting device for collecting a separate sulfur component is not required.

In addition, since the sulfur component is removed during the regeneration of the catalytic filtration filter, a separate sulfur removal mode for removing the collected sulfur component is not required.

In addition, the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst does not deteriorate because the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst does not have to be heated to a high temperature in order to remove the sulfur component.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, the exhaust gas purification apparatus includes an engine, a catalytic filtration filter 110, a post injector 120, a diesel fuel decomposition catalyst 130, a nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140, and a muffler 150. .

A differential pressure sensor (not shown) for detecting the amount of particulate matter (PM) accumulated therein is disposed at the front and rear ends of the catalyst filtration filter 110, and the front of the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140 has a A detection sensor (not shown) for detecting the concentration is disposed.

The diesel fuel decomposition catalyst 130 decomposes the fuel injected from the post injector 120 to generate a reducing agent, and supplies the generated reducing agent to the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140. The nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140 removes nitrogen oxides using the reducing agent.

The catalyst filtration filter 110 includes a filter body for collecting the particulate matter (PM) and a catalyst coated on the body, and the catalyst is an alkali metal for collecting sulfur oxides (Sox) contained in the exhaust gas. Or alkaline earth metals.

The alkali metal or the alkaline earth metal is preferably formed by being mixed with the wash coat and coated on the body of the catalyst filtration filter 110.

In particular, when a large amount of sulfur contained in the exhaust gas is collected in the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140, the trapping performance and regeneration efficiency of the nitrogen oxide is drastically reduced, in the embodiment of the present invention, the sulfur component is the catalyst filtration filter ( Since it is collected in advance in 110, the performance of the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140 is not reduced.

In addition, sulfur components collected in the catalyst filtration filter 110 are also removed when the catalyst filtration filter 110 is regenerated. Therefore, a separate desulfurization mode for removing sulfur from the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140 poisoned with sulfur is not required.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the mode for heating the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140 to 700 degrees Celsius to remove the sulfur component in the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140 is not applied, deterioration of the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140 Does not proceed.

In addition, since a separate sulfur collecting catalyst is not disposed in order to prevent poisoning of sulfur components in the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140, the production cost is reduced.

Figure 2 is a table showing the components included in the washcoat coated on the catalyst filter in the exhaust gas purifying apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, the alkali metals included in the washcoat coated on the catalyst filtration filter 110 include Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs and Fr, and the alkaline earth metals are Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba and Ra and the like.

Detailed descriptions of chemical characteristics of the alkali metal or the alkaline earth metal will be omitted.

3 is a flow chart showing the operating principle of the exhaust gas purifying apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, sulfur components are collected in a first step S10, a catalyst filtration filter 110 is regenerated in a second step S20, and the catalyst filtration filter 110 is regenerated in a third step S30. Collected sulfur is removed.

In the first step (S10), the sulfur component contained in the exhaust gas is collected in the catalyst filtration filter 110 so that the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140 is not poisoned as a sulfur component.

In the second step (S20), a regeneration mode for simultaneously removing particulate matter (PM) and sulfur components collected in the catalyst filtration filter 110 is performed, and the internal temperature of the catalyst filtration filter 110 is about It is included in the range of 700 to 800 degrees Celsius, and the regeneration period is included in the range of about 500 km to 1000 km.

At this temperature, particulate matter (PM) and sulfur components collected in the catalyst filtration filter 110 are removed by reaction with the catalyst component or partly separated and discharged to the outside air.

In particular, the sulfur component collected in the catalyst filtration filter 110 is separated due to the high temperature during regeneration, and reaches the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140, wherein the temperature of the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140 is about Celsius Since the sulfur component is included in the range of 500 to 550 degrees, the sulfur component passes through the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140 without being occluded.

Therefore, the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140 is not poisoned with sulfur and can easily collect nitrogen oxide contained in exhaust gas.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, a desulfurization regeneration mode for removing a separate sulfur component is not necessary, and desulfurization is performed only by regenerating the catalytic filtration filter 110.

 Therefore, since the desulfurization regeneration mode for heating the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140 to a high temperature (about 700 degrees Celsius) is not performed, deterioration of the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst 140 may be prevented in advance.

Here, since the period of the mode for regenerating the catalyst filtration filter 110 is shorter than the desulfurization regeneration mode period, the amount of sulfur components collected in the catalyst filtration filter 110 is small, thereby increasing the removal efficiency and shortening the time. .

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and easily changed and equalized by those skilled in the art from the embodiments of the present invention. It includes all changes to the extent deemed acceptable.
