Carbon nanotube supported molybdenum carbide catalysts were prepared as a function of various preparation conditions and characterized, and their catalytic activities were compared through electrochemical oxidation of methanol. To overcome the low activity of a transition metal catalyst, carbon nanotube was used as a support, and the amount and the kind of precursors, acid treatment method, and carburization temperature were varied for the catalyst preparation. ICP-AES, XRD and TEM were used for the catalyst characterization. Based on the various preparation methods of carbon nanotube supported molybdenum carbide catalysts ($Mo_2C/CNT$), the size and the amount of supported catalysts could be controlled, and their effects on the electrochemical oxidation could be explained.

알카리금속염 (K$_2$CO$_3$, $K_2$SO$_4$). 알카리 토금속염 (Ba(NO$_3$)$_2$), 철족금속염(Ni(NO$_3$)$_2$, FeSO$_4$) 으로 이루어진 여러가지 혼합물들이 반응온도 700~85$0^{\circ}C$ 하의 촤-수증기 가스화반응에서 나타내는 촉매활성을 열천칭 반응기를 사용하여 측정하였다. 비촉매 가스화반응에서 초기반응성은 수증기 분압에 비례하였다. 촉매 가스화반응에서 단일염 촉매의 경우 $K_2$CO$_3$ 가 가장 큰 활성을 나타내었으며, 다른 염들은 낮은 활성을 보였다. 혼합염의 경우 $K_2$SO$_4$에 철족염을 부가함에 따라 반응속도가 향상되었으며, $K_2$SO$_4$+Ni(NO$_3$)$_2$가 가장 큰 촉매활성을 나타내었다. $K_2$SO$_4$와 Ni(NO$_3$)$_2$ 의 촉매 활성은 담지량에 따라 증가하며, 석탄의 등급에 따라 감소하였다. $K_2$SO$_4$와 Ni(NO$_3$)$_2$의 혼합비는 같은 몰비로 혼합하였을때 가장 큰 활성을 나타내었다.

Surface modification technique enabling the control of condensation provides various benefit in various engineering systems, such as heat transfer, desalination, power plants, and so on. In this study, lubricant oil-impregnation into Teflon-coated nanoporous anodic oxide layer of aluminum to enhance a de-wetting and mobility of water droplet on surface. Due to the surface treatment improving water-repellency, the condensation mode is changed to dropwise, thus the frequency of sliding condensed water droplet on surface is increased. For these reasons, the surface of oil-impregnated Teflon-coated nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide shows significantly enhanced condensation heat transfer compared to bare aluminum surface. In addition, the porosity of anodic aluminum oxide affected the mobility of water droplet even with oil-impregnation and Teflon-coating, indicating that the optimization of porous structure of anodic oxide is required for maximizing the condensation heat transfer.

Co and Ni catalysts supported on $Al_2O_3$ for partial oxidation of methane producing hydrogen were synthesized using impregnation to incipient wetness. The activities of these catalysts for the partial oxidation of methane was investigated at 1 atm and $CH_4/O_2=2.0$ in the temperature range of $450{\sim}650^{\circ}C$. The reaction activity of $Ni/Al_2O_3$ and $Co/Al_2O_3$ catalysts with different loading was investigated. And the beneficial effects of Ni addition to $Co/Al_2O_3$ and the promotional effects of Ce and La addition to $Ni/Al_2O_3$ and $Co/Al_2O_3$ were investigated. These catalysts were characterized by XRD and SEM/EDX. Comparing catalyst loadings, 10 wt% Co and 10 wt% Ni were found to be optimal at the experimental conditions. The 10 wt% $Ni/Al_2O_3$ and 10 wt% $Co/Al_2O_3$ catalysts in partial oxidation of methane showed $CH_4$ conversions and CO selectivity close to the thermodynamic equilibrium levels, but showed lower $H_2$ selectivity than equilibrium level. The addition of Ni to $Co/Al_2O_3$ exhibited higher $H_2$ selectivity but beneficial effect was not observed in the $CH_4$ conversion. Addition of Ce to $Co/Al_2O_3$ and addition of La to $Ni/Al_2O_3$ a improved the $CH_4$ conversion level and $H_2$ selectivity.

In order to improve the stability of ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ on hydrolysis of $SF_6$, the catalytic promoters were investigated in this study. The crystal phase of ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ is transformed to their ${\alpha}$-phase during hydrolysis of $SF_6$. Various metal oxides were applied as the promoter material that is Ga, Mg, and Zn and the promoter of 1, 5, and 10 wt% was impregnated over ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ by the impregnation method. Specially, it were confirmed in the catalytic activity tests and XRD analysis that ZnO/${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst had the high activity for decomposition of $SF_6$ by catalytic hydrolysis and the crystal phase of ZnO promoted ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was not transformed. From these results, it could be known that the stability of ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ is enhanced with the catalytic promotion of ZnO impregnated over the surface of catalyst.

Pd/activated carbon (Pd/AC) and Pd/alumina (Pd/AO) catalysts were prepared by the impregnation of palladium into activated carbon and alumina. The catalytic characteristics according to the kinds of support materials were compared. The decomposition efficiencies of ozone according to kinds of support materials are about the same when these were compared by adding 10 g of catalysts into the water saturated with ozone. The decomposition efficiencies and the oxidation characteristics (TOC, $COD_{Cr}$) of dichloroacetic acid were compared with the ozone only process and the catalytic ozonations using Pd/activated carbon and Pd/alumina catalysts. The decomposition efficiencies of dichloroacetic acid by catalytic ozonations were better than the one by ozone only process, but there was slight difference of the one between Pd/activated carbon and Pd/alumina catalyst. The decomposition efficiency of dichloroacetic acid was increased with increasing ozone dose at a constant concentration of dichloroacetic acid, but the one was little increased with increasing ozone dose at more than 1.0 L/min of ozone dose. It was seemed that the bicarbonate and the chloric ion formed throughout the decomposition of dichloroacetic acid acted as the scavenger of hydroxyl radical.

VOCs 처리기술로는 촉매연소, 열적처리, 생물학적처리법 등이 있으며, 촉매연소방법의 경우 저온에서 처리가 가능하여 처리비용 절감 등의 효과를 고려할 때 가장 경제적인 방법으로 평가되고 있다(Guisnet, et al., 1999). VOCs 처리에는 대부분 고가의 귀금속촉매를 많이 사용하므로, 경제적 부담을 줄이기 위하여 귀금속을 담체(SiO$_2$, A1$_2$O$_3$, TiO$_2$등)에 담지시켜 활용하거나, 귀금속촉매를 대체하기 위한 Mn, Co, Cu 등의 금속 산화물 촉매에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. (중략)

Recent studies dealing with the fundamental understanding and applications of bimetallic catalysts are discussed. Bimetallic catalysts have had a major industrial impact, specifically for the reforming of petroleum naphtha, for the hydrogen reduction of carbon monoxide, and for the three way catalytic converter system. The action of the bimetallic catalysts in these reactions may be interpreted in terms of ensembles, electronic influences and surface structure. Various combinations of metal pairs have been considered in order to evaluate the role played by the added metals. For catalyst selectivity control, the possibility of surface enrichment of one element has been recognised. More generally, the influence of preparative variables on the formation of supported catalysts has been clarified, In particular by temperature programmed reduction (TPR). Information on the structure of bimetallic catalysts has been obtained with chemical probes, such as chemisorption and reaction rate measurement and physical probes, such as extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and Xe-NMR.

Sodium borohydride($NaBH_4$) known as the material of hydrogen generation and storage can produce the hydrogen via catalytic hydrolysis. This protide chemical could be used in the hydrogen supply system for residential and mobile fuel cells, and thus many researches and developments regarding to these chemicals and decomposition reactions have been implemented. We experimented the hydrolysis of $NaBH_4$ alkaline solution by metal oxide-supported PGM(platinum group metal) catalysts and measured the generation rate of hydrogen which is product of decomposition reaction. We compared oxides as catalyst supports, and the precious metals, Pt and Ru for the catalysts and studied the effects of amounts of catalyst added and $NaBH_4$ concentrations on the hydrogen generation rates and patterns.
