The surface reactions of CO and $C_2H_4$ with adsorbed oxygen on ZnO were studied by means of EPR spectroscopy. The EPR spectra of $O_2$ adsorbed ZnO at various temperatures were compared, and the signal at g = 2.014 was characterized as trapped $O^-$ at oxygen vacancy. CO and $C_2H_4$ react with $O^-$ at $25^{\circ}C$ and desorbed as $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ above $200^{\circ}C$. $O_2^-$ species interact with $C_2H_4$ about $100^{\circ}C$, but desorption of partial oxidation products also was not observed until the temperature was raised to $200^{\circ}C$.

Air is essential for human beings to survive, but urban air is polluted with soot and harmful gases, due to the increase in industrial development and the population. Thus, air pollution in large cities is of increasing interest in the research community. One of the plausible solutions to this problem is supplying sufficient oxygen to indoor spaces. The main principle of the oxygen generator is to separate oxygen from air using synthetic zeolite. Various synthetic zeolites have been applied to public indoor spaces with the focus being placed on the oxygen exchange quality. Among the characteristics of zeolites which can be applied to oxygen generators is their ability to adsorb nitrogen from the air and, in this way, generate only oxygen. Thus, we investigated the degree of nitrogen adsorption by five kinds of natural zeolite and LTA zeolite 3A, 4A, and 5A (two different sizes). Using the PSA method, the higher the degree of nitrogen adsorption, the higher the oxygen saturation concentration, it was found that the nitrogen adsorption degree of the 5A zeolite was the highest. 6% on average. It was also found that the size of the zeolite had a significant effect on the degree of nitrogen adsorption.

본 논문에서는 불순물 잠복현상 규명에 필요한 금속산화물 용해 현상과 이온성 불순물의 금속산화물 흡착 현상 조사를 위해 산소 농도 변화 시 금속 산화물 형성 속도 및 구조/입자 크기 변화에 대해 조사하였다. 금속산화물 형성 속도 조사 결과 철산화물의 경우 산소농도가 높으면 산화물 생성속도가 30% 감소하였다. 금속산화물 구조/입자 크기 변화 조사 결과 철산화물의 경우 산소 농도가 2 L/min일 때 입자는 약간 커지는 경향을 보였다. 입자의 크기가 증가함에 따라 입자간 뭉침현상이 나타나므로 불순물의 침입이 가능하여 공침현상이 발생할 가능성이 증가할 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 산소의 농도에 따라 불순물이 침전물 속으로 숨어들 수도 있고 다시 빠져나올 수 있는 잠복현상의 가능성이 예측된다.

고분자 촉매를 이용하여 용존산소를 제거하는 실험을 수행하였다. 고분자 촉매는 높은 비표면적과 좋은 금속의 분산도를 갖도록 제조하였다. 컬럼에서 제조된 촉매를 사용하여 용존산소-수소의 반응을 수행한 결과 용존산소를 35 ppb까지 감소시킴으로서 제조된 촉매의 용존산소제거에의 적합성을 확인하였다. 컬럼에서의 촉매의 거동을 적절한 모델을 통하여 해석하였으며 또한 활성탄에 담지된 금속 촉매 및 현재 상용화되고 있는 Lewatit촉매를 이용하여 실험을 수행함으로서 촉매성능을 비교하였다. 활성탄의 경우 초기에 활성탄의 표면에 산소가 많이 흡착되어 있기때문에 이를 제거하기 위하여 전처리가 필요한 것으로 나타났으며 Lewatit촉매의 경우 가장 우수한 성능을 보였다.

The adsorption and desorption behaviors of NO and $N_2O$ over two mixed oxide catalysts, AlCoPd (1/1/0.05) and AlCoFe (1/1/2), have been investigated for the lean $NO_x$ trap applications. The catalysts showed good adsorption capabilities for NO and $N_2O$ without needing oxidation step. The adsorption decreased a lot when they are co-adsorbed with oxygen. While NO kept high adsorbability and selectivity with respect to oxygen, those of $N_2O$ decreased sharply. From the TPD results, NO and $N_2O$ are considered to decompose into nitrogen and oxygen in the higher temperature range and the oxygen seems to be strongly attached to the catalysts even at high temperature.

The addition of alginic acid, a natural polysaccharide, to improve the wettability and the reduction of protein adsorption of hydrogel contact lenses. Hydrogel contact lenses were manufactured with various monomers such as 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and NVP (N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidone). Alginic acid was added by by the initial mixing method and the interpenetrating polymer networks(IPN) method. Properties of contact lens such as contact angle, oxygen permeability, and protein adsorption amount were evaluated. The oxygen permeability and wettability of the IPN-treated alginate samples were higher than those of the samples that were not treated with IPN. The physical properties were improved as the concentration of IPN-treated alginic acid increased. Protein adsorption decreased by the addition of alginic acid and further decreased with IPN. In particular, contact lenses containing MPC and NVP significantly decreased protein adsorption. Therefore, the effect of alginate on the functional improvement of contact lens was confirmed.

The reversible oxygenation of a solid stae polymeric cobalt(II) porphyrin complex, PVP-CoTPP was studied at 0, -24 and $-78^{\circ}C$. When PVP-CoTPP was contacted with $O_2 $at$-78^{\circ}C$ the oxygen uptake increased with oxygen partial pressure. At about 700mmHg $O_2$, the amount of oxygen taken up corresponded approximately one oxygen molecule to one Co(II) complex. The amount of $O_2$ taken up by PVP-CoTPP decreased with increasing temperature. When $16O_2$ was admitted to the Co(II) complex a EPR signal corresponding to $O_2^-$ increased with a decrease in Co(II) signal. The results suggest that an electron is transfered from Co(II) in PVP-CoTPP to oxygen forming a $Co(III)-O_2^-$ complex where $O_2^- $is superoxide type.

Zeolite X adsorbents with large surface area were prepared for using oxygen PSA adsorbent. Selective adsorption performance of nitrogen on the synthesized zeolite X adsorbent was improved by the cation exchange of adsorbent. The zeolite X which had over $650m^2/g$ surface area was synthesized at the conditions of $SiO_2\;:\;Na_2O\;:\;H_2O\;:\;Al_2O_3$ = 2.5 : 3.5 : 150 : 1 mole ratio, $98^{\circ}C$ temperature and 18 h synthesized time in 50 L reactor. The metal ions Li, Ag, Ca, Br, Sr, etc. were investigated for ion exchange with zeolite X. Ag ion was showed the highest ion exchange rate among these metal ions and all metal ions were exchanged with Na ion at equivalent rate. Compared with the NaX adsorbent, the ion exchanged zeolite X adsorbent remarkably improved its adsorption performance of nitrogen at the conditions of $10{\sim}40^{\circ}C$ temperature and 0~9 atm pressure. At an equilibrium pressure under 0.5 atm, adsorption performance of nitrogen on the ion exchanged zeolite adsorbent increased in the order of Ag > Li > Ca > Sr> Ba > K, whereas at an equilibrium pressure over 1 atm showed in the order of Li > Ag > Ca > Sr > Ba > K. Nitrogen/oxygen separation factor of Li ion exchanged zeolite X adsorbent was 13.023 at the partial pressure of nitrogen/oxygen gas mixture similar to air and $20^{\circ}C$ adsorption temperature.

The catalytic oxidation of $SO_2$ has been investigated in the presence of vacuum-activated 10 mol % Ni-doped ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ under various partial pressures of $SO_2\;and\;O_2$ at temperatures from 320 to $440{\circ}C$. Over the temperature range $320{\sim}440{\circ}C$, the activation energy is 13.8 $kcal{\cdot}mol^{-1}$. The oxidation rates have been correlated with 1.5 order kinetics; first order with respect to $SO_2$ and 0.5 order with respect to $O_2$. From the kinetic data and conductivity measurements, the adsorption, oxidation mechanism of $SO_2$ and the defect structure of vacuum-activated 10 mol % Ni-doped {\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ are suggested. $O_2\;and\;SO_2$ appear to be adsorbed essentially as ionic species. Two surface sites, probably an $O^{2-}$ lattice and an oxygen vacancy which is induced by Ni-doping, might be required to adsorb $SO_2\;and\;O_2$. The conductivity measurements and kinetic data indicate that the adsorption process of $SO_2\;{(SO_2+O^{2-}}_{(latt)}{\rightleftharpoons}{{SO_3}^-}_{(ads)}+e')$ is the rate-determining step.

In this study, oxygen functional groups were introduced on activated carbon fibers (ACFs) by oxygen plasma treatment to improve the adsorption performance on an acetic acid which is a sick house syndrome induced gas. The active species was generated more as the flow rate of the oxygen gas increased during the plasma treatment. For this reason, the specific surface area (SSA) of the ACFs decreased with much more physical and chemical etching. In particular, the SSA of the sample (A-O60) injected with an oxygen gas flow rate of 60 sccm was reduced to about $1.198m^2/g$, which was about 6.95% lower than that of the untreated samples. On the other hand, the oxygen content introduced into the surface of ACFs increased up to 35.87%. Also, the adsorption performance on the acetic acid gas of the oxygen plasma-treated ACFs was improved by up to 43% compared to that of using the untreated ACFs. It is attributed to the formation of the hydrogen bonding due to the dipole moments between acetic acid molecules and oxygen functional groups such as O=C-O introduced by the oxygen plasma treatment.
