To investigate the effect of magnesium oxide addition, $Cu/ZnO/MgO/Al_2O_3$ (CZMA) catalysts were prepared using co-precipitation method with fixed molar ratio of Cu/Zn/Mg/Al as 45/45/5/5 mol% for low-temperature water gas shift reaction. Synthesized catalysts were characterized by using BET, $N_2O$ chemisorption, XRD, $H_2-TPR$ and $NH_3-TPD$ analysis. The catalytic activity tests were carried out at a GHSV of $28,000h^{-1}$ and a temperature range of $200{\sim}320^{\circ}C$. At the same condition, magnesium oxide added catalyst (CZMA 400) showed that the lowest reduction temperature and stable presence of $Cu^+$, that is active species and abundant weak acid site. Also magnesium oxide added catalysts (CZMA) showed higher catalytic activity at temperature range above $240^{\circ}C$ than the catalyst without magnesium oxide (CZA). Consequently, CZMA 400 catalyst is considered to be excellent catalyst showing CO conversion of 77.59% without deactivation for about 75 hours at $240^{\circ}C$, GHSV $28,000h^{-1}$.

In order to investigate the effect of water treatment on activity of WGS catalyst, $Cu/ZnO/MgO/Al_2O_3$ (CZMA) catalysts were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The prepared catalysts were water-treated at two different temperature (250, $350^{\circ}C$). Synthesized catalysts were characterized by using BET, SEM, $N_2O$ chemisorption, XRD, $H_2-TPR$ and XPS analysis. The catalytic activity tests were carried out at a GHSV of $28,000h^{-1}$ and a temperature range of $180-320^{\circ}C$. The reduction temperature decreased with water treatment and CZMA_250 catalyst showed the lowest reduction temperature and retained a large amount of $Cu^+$. Water-treated catalysts showed increased reactivity compared to untreated catalyst and the CZMA_250 catalyst showed higher catalytic activity on WGS reaction.

To confirm the applicability of the water gas shift reaction for the production of high purity hydrogen for petroleum cokes, an unutilized low grade resource, Cu/ZnO/MgO/Al₂O₃ (CZMA), catalyst was prepared using the co-precipitation method. The prepared catalyst was analyzed using BET and H₂-TPR. Catalyst reactivity tests were compared and analyzed in two cases: a single LTS reaction from syngas containing a high concentration of CO, and an LTS reaction immediately after the syngas passed through a HTS reaction without condensation of steam. Reaction characteristics in accordance with steam/CO ratio, flow rate, and temperature were confirmed under both conditions. When the converted low concentration of CO and steam were immediately injected into the LTS, the CO conversion was rather low in most conditions despite the presence of large amounts of steam. In addition, because the influence of the steam/CO ratio, temperature, and flow rate was significant, additional analysis was required to determine the optimal operating conditions. Meanwhile, carbon deposition or activity degradation of the catalyst did not appear under high CO concentration, and high CO conversion was exhibited in most cases. In conclusion, it was confirmed that when the Cu/ZnO/MgO/Al₂O₃ catalyst and the appropriate operating conditions were applied to the syngas composition containing a high concentration of CO, the high concentration of CO could be converted in sufficient amounts into CO₂ by applying a single LTS reaction.

The synergistic effects in mechanical mixture catalysts of Mo-V-O and metal oxide were investigated for the selective oxidation of acrolein. The metal oxides used are $SnO_2$, ${\alpha}-Sb_2O_4$, $WO_3$, ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$, CuO, $MnO_2$, $Cu_2O$, MgO, CoO, and ZnO. Mechanical mixtures of Mo-V-O plus $SnO_2$ or ${\alpha}-Sb_2O_4$ had resulted in higher conversion of acrolein and higher yield of acrylic acid than Mo-V-O. The origin of the synergy is attributed to the cooperation of Mo-V-O and $SnO_2$ or ${\alpha}-Sb_2O_4$, in which $SnO_2$ or ${\alpha}-Sb_2O_4$ forms dissociated oxygens at their oxygen vacancies and transports them to Mo-V-O. $Cu_2O$, MgO, CuO, and $MnO_2$, increased conversion of acrolein but decreased yield of acrylic acid. CoO and ZnO inhibited the catalytic performance of Mo-V-O. The different role of these metal oxides is explained in terms of their oxidation-reduction properties.

고정층반응기에서 여러 가지 전이금속으로 치환된 하이드로탈사이트($[M_xMg_{6-x}Al_2(OH)_{16}(CO_3)^{2-}]{\cdot}H_2O;$ M: 전이금속(Ni, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn) x: 전이금속 치환비($x=0.5{\sim}6$))를 합성하고 이를 소성한 후 메탄의 부분산화 반응에 사용하였다. 반응 시 도입되는 $CH_4/O_2$비는 2로 하고 $VHSV=120,000cm^3/g$ h, 온도를 $500^{\circ}C$ 부터 $50^{\circ}C$ 간격으로 하여 $800^{\circ}C$까지 수행하였다. 실험결과 다른 전이금속들 중에서 니켈로 치환된 촉매가 대체적으로 부분산화반응을 촉진시키는데 좋은 것으로 나타났으며, 실험 결과 니켈의 hydrotalcite 중의 치환비(x)에 따른 차이는 별로 없었다.
