The catalytic activity of transition metals (Cu, Co, Mn, Fe and Ni) supported on ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ for the oxidation of toluene was investigated in the microreactor of fixed-bed type. The catalytic activity of transition metals for the oxidation of toluene turned out to be increasing in the order of Ni$Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts for the oxidation of toluene increased with the increasing loadings of copper, reached the maximum activity at 5% loadings of copper, and decreased with higher loadings of copper in the catalysts. The activity of $Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts for the oxidation of toluene decreased with the increasing calcination temperatures. This might result from the decreasing surface area of catalysts due to the sintering of copper oxide as well as ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ supports. The 5wt% $Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs in the air showed the highest activity for the oxidation of toluene. Mutual inhibition was observed for the binary mixture of toluene and xylene. The activity of the easy-to-oxidize toluene was greatly decreased while the difficult-to-oxidize xylene was slightly decreased in the binary mixture of toluene and xylene. It might suggest that the inhibition of toluene and xylene in the binary mixture resulted from the competitive adsorption for the adsorbed oxygen on the catalytic surface.

Pd-ZSM-5 촉매 상에서 메탄의 연소반응을 수행하였다. 담체는 저온상압법으로 합성한 ZSM-5를 이용하였다. 담체인 ZSM-5의 $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ 몰비 변화에 따른 메탄의 전환율 변화를 조사해 보았다. 그리고 합성한 Pd-ZSM-5 촉매의 메탄 전환율을 상업화된 Pd-ZSM-5(PQ Co.) 및 $PdO/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$와 비교하여 보았다. $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ 몰비 변화에 따른 메탄의 연소반응실험 결과 $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ 몰비가 작을수록 높은 메탄의 전환율을 보였으며, Pd을 정량화시켜 메탄의 연소속도를 비교한 결과, 역시 $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ 몰비가 작을수록 빠르게 나타났다. 합성한 Pd-ZSM-5가 상업화된 Pd-ZSM-5(PQ Co.)보다 우수한 메탄 전환율을 나타냈다. 촉매 특성 분석 결과들로부터 메탄의 연소반응에서 촉매에 흡착하는 산소의 결합세기가 반응속도에 매우 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다.

Y-zeolite and ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$ were used as supports on CO and $C_3$H$_{6}$ oxidation for diesel emission control. The catalysts composed of Pd and Pt as active components were wash coated on honeycomb type ceramic substrate. The oxidation of CO and $C_3$H$_{6}$ was carried out over prepared honeycomb in a fixed bed continuous reactor in the temperature range of 20$0^{\circ}C$~50$0^{\circ}C$ and 20,000 GHSV (h$^{-1}$ ). Surface area of Y-zeolite was larger than that of ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$ due to channel structure of Y-zeolite. Therefore, high conversion of CO and $C_3$H$_{6}$ could be obtained because of good dispersion of active metals over Y-zeolite. The honeycomb used Y-zeolite as a support showed higher $C_3$H$_{6}$ conversion than that of ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$ due to better cracking and isomerization activity of Y-zeolite. PdPt catalyst showed high conversion of CO and $C_3$H$_{6}$ at low temperature region, 20$0^{\circ}C$~30$0^{\circ}C$, for their synergy effects. PdPt/Y-Zeolite catalyst could achieve more than 80％ conversion of $C_3$H$_{6}$ at 30$0^{\circ}C$. The use of Y-zeolite as a support increased CO and $C_3$H$_{6}$ conversion, and decreased SO$_2$ conversion very effectively. Y-zeolite found to have a good adaptability as a support for the diesel emission after treatment system.

$Co_3O_4$, $Al_2O_3$ and $Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$ mesoporous powders were prepared by a sol-gel method with starting matierals of aluminum isopropoxide and cobalt (II) nitrate. A P123 template is employed as an active organic additive for improving the specific surface area of the mixed oxide by forming surfactant micelles. A transition metal cobalt oxide supported on alumina with and without P123 was tested to find the most active and selective conditions as a heterogeneous catalyst in the reaction of styrene epoxidation. A bBlock copolymer-P123 template was added to the staring materials to control physical and chemical properties. The properties of $Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$ powder with and without P123 were characterized using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), a Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), a Bruner-Emmertt-Teller (BET) surface analyzer, and $^{27}Al$ MAS NMR spectroscopy. Powders with and without P123 were compared in catalytic tests. The catalytic activity and selectivity were monitored by GC/MS, $^1H$, and $^{13}C$-NMR spectroscopy. The performance for the reaction of epoxidation of styrene was observed to be in the following order: [$Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$ with P123-1173 K > $Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$ with P123-973 K > $Co_3O_4$-973 K>$Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$-973 K > $Co_3O_4$/$Al_2O_3$ with P123-1473 K > $Al_2O_3$-973 K]. The existence of ${\gamma}$-alumina and the nature of the surface morphology are related to catalytic activity.

고분자 전해질 연료전지의 연료에 포함된 일산화탄소의 선택적 산화를 위하여, 귀금속 촉매를 대체하기 위한 CuO-$CeO_2$ 복합 산화물 촉매를 졸-겔법과 공침법으로 제조하였다. 졸-겔법으로 촉매 제조 시 Cu/Ce의 비와 가수분해 비를 변화시켰다. 제조한 촉매의 활성은 귀금속 촉매($Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$)와 비교하였다. Cu/Ce의 비를 변화시키면서 제조한 촉매 중 Cu/Ce의 비가 4:16인 촉매가 가장 높은 CO 전환율(90%)과 선택도(60%)를 나타내었다. 촉매의 제조에서 가수분해 비가 증가할수록 촉매 표면적이 증가하였고, 아울러 촉매 활성 또한 증가하였다. 공침법으로 제조한 촉매와 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매의 가장 높은 CO 전환율은 각각 82% 및 81%인 반면, 졸-겔법으로 제조한 촉매의 경우는 90%가 얻어졌다. 이는 졸-겔법으로 제조한 촉매가 공침법으로 제조한 촉매나 귀금속 촉매보다 더 높은 촉매활성을 보임을 의미한다. CO-TPD 실험을 통하여, 낮은 온도($140^{\circ}C$)에서 CO를 탈착하는 촉매가 본 반응에서 더 높은 촉매활성을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

바이오디젤 공정에서 비균일상 촉매는 생성물의 회수를 쉽게 하며 촉매를 재사용하는 장점이 있기 때문에 최근 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $K_2CO_3/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매를 이용한 바이오디젤 생성 반응에서 촉매의 소성온도가 반응활성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 소성온도가 $600^{\circ}C$까지 높아짐에 따라 촉매의 활성이 높아졌으며, 그 이상의 온도에서는 촉매의 활성이 급격히 감소하여 소성온도가 촉매의 활성에 매우 중요한 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다. 고온에서 이와 같은 활성감소는 Al-O-K와 $Al-O_2-K$인 활성자리의 감소가 원인이었던 것으로 추정되었다.

$Cu-Ce/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ based catalysts were prepared and tested for selective oxidation of CO in a $H_2$-rich stream(1% CO, 1% $O_2$, 60% $H_2$, $N_2$ as balance). The effects of Cu loading and weight ratio(=Cu/(Cu+Ce)) upon both activity and selectivity were investigated upon the change in temperatures, It was also examined how the activity and selectivity of catalysts were varied with the presence of $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ in the reactant feed. Among the various Cu-Ce catalysts with different catalytic metal composition, Cu-Ce(4 : 16 wf%) /${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst showed the highest activity(>$T_{99}$) and selectivities(50-80%) under wide range of temperatures($175-220^{\circ}C$). However, in the Cu-Ce(4 : 16 wt%)/ ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$, the presence of $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ in the reactant feed decreased the activity and the maximum activity(>$T_{99}$) in terms of reaction temperature moved by about $25^{\circ}C$ toward higher temperature, the $T_{>99}$ window was seen between $210-230^{\circ}C$ (selectivity 50-75%). From $CO_2-/H_2O-TPD$, it can be concluded that the main cause for the decrease in catalytic activity may be attributed to the blockage of the active sites by competitive adsorption of water vapor and $CO_2$ with the reactant at low temperatures.

A study of K addition to the catalyst of CoMo/ ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was studied. The catalyst with 10 at% of K to Mo atoms in 3C10M, the catalyst added 3 wt% CoO to 10 wt% $MoO_3/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$, showed the highest activity for water gas shift reaction. The addition of K retarded the reducibility of cobalt-molybdenum catalysts. It gave, however, good dispersion and large BET surface area to the catalysts which were attributed to the disappearance of polymolybdate clustyer such as $Mo_7O_{24}^{6-}$ and the formation of small Mo$O_4^{2-}$ cluster. It was confirmed by the analyses of pore size distribution, activation energy, Raman spectroscopy, and electron diffraction. The activation energies and the frequency factors of the catalysts 3C10M and 5KC10M (the catalyst added 5 at% K for Mo to the catalyst 3C10M) were 43.1 and 47.8 kJ/mole, and 4,297 and 13,505 $sec^{-1}$, respectively. These values were also well correlated with our suggestion. These phenomena were attributed to the direct interaction between K and CoMo oxides irrelevant to the support.

Ru/${\gamma}$-$Al_2O_3$와 Ru/$CeO_2$-${\gamma}$-$Al_2O_3$를 사용하여 Ru담지 촉매의 반응성과 열적노화현상에 미치는 Ce의 영향을 연구하였다. $^{129}Xe$-NMR과 수소흡착법을 사용하여 촉매특성을 검토하였으며, 모사 자동차 배기가스를 사용하여 과농, 양론 및 희박조건에서의 CO, HC 및 $NO_x$ 전환율을 측정하였다. 새촉매와 노화촉매 모두 Ru/$CeO_2$-${\gamma}$-$Al_2O_3$가 Ru/${\gamma}$-$Al_2O_3$보다 세 가지 오염물질에 대한 전환율이 높았다. $^{129}Xe$-NMR과 수소흡착에 의하면 Ce을 첨가하여도 열적노화현상을 억제할 수 없었다. 그러나 673K에서 열적노화시킨 경우 Ru/${\gamma}$-$Al_2O_3$의 반응성은 새촉매보다 작았으나 Ru/$CeO_2$-${\gamma}$-$Al_2O_3$의 반응성은 오히려 컸다. 이것은 열적 노화과정에서 Ru/Ce 사이의 계면에 아마도 새로운 활성점이 만들어지기 때문이 아닌가 사료된다. 또한, Ru금속에 미치는 Ce같은 양이온 효과를 좀더 정량적으로 구하기 위하여 Ca, Ba, La, Y, Ce 등의 양이온을 교환한 Y-제올라이트에 Ru을 담지시킨 모델 촉매의 열적노화 정도를 $^{129}Xe$-NMR과 EXAFS로 연구한 결과 이들 양이온이 Ru의 열적 노화성에 거의 영향을 미치지 못하는 것을 관찰하였다.

A promising candidate material for a $H_2$ permeable membrane is SiC due to its many unique properties. A hydrogen-selective SiC membrane was successfully fabricated on the outer surface of an intermediate multilayer $\gamma-Al_2O_3$ with a graded structure. The $\gamma-Al_2O_3$ multilayer was formed on top of a macroporous $\alpha-Al_2O_3$ support by consecutively dipping into a set of successive solutions containing boehmite sols of different particle sizes and then calcining. The boehmite sols were prepared from an aluminum isopropoxide precursor and heated to $80^{\circ}C$ with high speed stirring for 24 hrs to hydrolyze the precursor. Then the solutions were refluxed at $92^{\circ}C$ for 20 hrs to form a boehmite precipitate. The particle size of the boehmite sols was controlled according to various experimental parameters, such as acid types and acid concentrations. The topmost SiC layer was formed on top of the intermediate $\gamma-Al_2O_3$ by pyrolysis of a SiC precursor, polycarbosilane, in an Ar atmosphere. The resulting amorphous SiC-on-$Al_2O_3$ composite membrane pyrolyzed at $900^{\circ}C$ possessed a high $H_2$ permeability of $3.61\times10^{-7}$ $mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}{\cdot}Pa^{-1}$ and the $H_2/CO_2$ selectivity was much higher than the theoretical value of 4.69 in all permeation temperature ranges. Gas permeabilities through a SiC membrane are affected by Knudsen diffusion and a surface diffusion mechanism, which are based on the molecular weight of gas species and movement of adsorbed gas molecules on the surface of the pores.
