바이오디젤 대체 원료로서 폐돈지, 폐우지를 이용한 오일 추출 및 바이오디젤 생산 반응을 진행하고 이때 사용되는 과잉 메탄올의 회수 및 재사용에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 추출된 오일의 상태에 따라 전처리를 위한 에스테르화 반응여부를 판단하게 되지만 에스테르화 반응과 전이에스테르화 반응 모두에서 상당량의 과잉 메탄올을 투입하게 된다. 에스테르화 반응에서는 이론량보다 20~50배 가량을 투입하고 전이에스테르화 반응에서는 오일:메탄올 이론 몰비인 3:1 보다 2~4배 가량을 이용하게 된다. 에스테르화 반응에 사용되는 촉매는 균질계 액체 산 촉매와 불균질계 고체 산 촉매가 이용될 수 있으며 본 연구에서는 황산을 이용한 에스테르화 반응을 실시하였으며 전이에스테르화 반응에서는 KOH를 촉매로 이용하였다. 각각의 공정에 사용된 과잉 메탄올의 재이용 방안을 조사하였으며 메탄올을 단증류를 통해 회수하는 방법과 회수된 메탄올을 이용한 에스테르화 반응 및 전이에스테르화 반응을 실시해 반응성을 조사하였다. 이를 통해 미반응 과잉메탄올의 회수 정제시 메탄올의 최대 수분함량(%) 허용치를 결정할 수 있었다. 회수된 메탄올을 재이용함에 따라 바이오디젤 생산비 중의 원료(메탄올) 및 설비비 절감이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The study on the improvement of manufacturing process of RJ-4 liquid fuel that have high flash point, was carried out. In preparing of RJ-4 using commercially available MCPD, 1st, 2nd hydrogenation and isomerization reaction were enabled 1 step continuous process by combined use of heteropoly phosphoroustungstic cesium salt catalyst and 2nd stage-heat-controllable reactor. Also when heteropolyacid cesium salt was used as a isomerization catalyst instead of aluminum chloride, formation rate of exe-THDMCPD was higher, the catalyst could be easily separable from product and there was no production of waste acid, so this new reaction condition was confirmed as the environment friendly process.

메탄의 수증기-이산화탄소 복합개질반응에서 니켈 촉매의 탄소 침적 저항성에대한 Ce 증진 효과를 살펴보기 위해, Ni-Ce/${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매를 제조하였다. Ce/Ni 비율 변화에 따른 촉매 비표면적, Ni 입자 분산도 및 촉매 활성 변화를 살펴보았고, Ce 첨가량을 최적화 할 수 있었다. Ce/Ni 비율 증가에 따라 NiO 결정크기가 감소하고 표면적과 Ni 분산도는 증가하였다. 특히, Ce/Ni=0.5 첨가 시, 촉매는 가장 넓은 비표면적과 Ni 분산도를 가졌으며, 우수한 촉매 활성 및 높은 탄소 침적 저항성을 보였다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 Ni과 Ce 담지 방법에 따른 Ni 분산도 향상과 Ni과 Ce간의 접촉 면적 극대화를 통한 활성산소 공급 향상에 대한 영향을 함께 살펴보았다. Ni과 Ce를 동시 함침법과 연속 함침법으로 담지하여 비교한 결과, 동시 함침법으로 제조한 Ni-Ce/${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ (Ce/Ni=0.5) 촉매가 가장 우수한 촉매 성능 및 높은 탄소 침적 저항성을 보였다. 이는 동시 함침법으로 고분산된 Ni 입자와 담체간의 강한 상호작용 형성과 원활한 활성 산소 공급에 기인한 것이다.

A sulfonated activated carbon (AC-$SO_3H$) was used as a solid acid catalyst for dehydration of sorbitol to isosorbide and its catalytic performance was compared with the commercial solid acid such as acidic ion exchange resin, Amberlyst-36, and sulfated copper oxide. The catalytic performance with 100% sorbitol conversion and 52% isosorbide selectivity was obtained over AC-$SO_3H$ at 423.15 K. Although AC-$SO_3H$ possessed only 0.5 mmol/g of sulfur content, it showed the similar dehydration activity of sorbitol to isosorbide with Amberlyst-36 (5.4 mmol/g) at 423.15 K. Based on the high thermal and chemical stability of AC-$SO_3H$, one-step reactive distillation, where isosorbide separation can be carried out simultaneously with sorbitol dehydration, was tried to increase the recovery yield of isosobide from sorbitol. The reactive distillation process using AC-$SO_3H$, the turnover number of AC-$SO_3H$ was 4 times higher than the conventional two-step process using sulfuric acid.

Direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs) are potential alternative power sources for portable devices such as cellular phone, personal digital assistants (PDA) and laptop computers. In this study, we developed the catalysts for great performance of fuel cell, and investigated their characteristics by using EDS and SEM. Pt-Pd catalysts showed uniform size and homogeneous distribution. As the content of palladium increased, the performance of DFAFC increased. Pd black showed the greatest performance among the five catalysts tested. Also, Pt-Pd (1:1) catalyst had an excellent maximum power density of $120mW/cm^2$. As the operating temperature increased, fuel cell performance was increased due to a reaction activity increases of catalyst. But, temperature had only a slight effect on the performance of fuel cell in the best activity range of membrane.

Acid and halide ion catalyses for the hydrolysis of benzenesulfinamides were kinetically investigated. The rates of hydrolysis increased with increasing concentration of both acid and halide ions and also showed to speed up as the electron donating ability of the benzenesulfinyl moiety and the electron withdrawing ability in the leaving group increased. The reactivity of halide ions was in the order of $Br^-$ > $Cl^-$. The reaction mechanism may be accommodated by including a hypervalent intermediate and sulfonium cation.

A membrane-like $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$-polysulfone film was prepared by blending $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$ with polysulfone using dimethylformamide as a common solvent. SEM and EDX analysis showed that $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$ was uniformly and finely distributed in the film catalyst. The ESCA measurement also revealed that the oxidation state of Mo was not changed. The $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$-polysulfone catalyst showed lower activity for acid-catalyzed reaction and higher activity for oxidation reaction than $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$ in ethanol conversion reaction. The oxidation activity of the film catalyst was about 10 times higher than $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$. The decrease of acidic activity was due to DMF strongly adsorbed in acid sites of $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$, whereas the increase of oxidation activity was mainly due to uniform distribution of $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$. Adsorption results showed that the surface character of $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$ was drastically increased, while the bulk property of that was almost same after blending. It is suggested that the control of surface/bulk property as well as acid/redox property of heteropoly acid would be possible by blending it with a polymer.

The spent petroleum catalysts contain rare metals such as vanadium, nickel, molybdenum, and cobalt. Therefore, the leaching of these rare metals from spent petroleum catalysts by organic acid was investigated in the present study. The leaching efficiency of metals by organic acid was in the following order: oxalic acid > tartaric acid > citric acid > maleic acid > ascorbic acid. Among the organic acids employed in this work, oxalic acid can be considered to be superior to the other acids in terms of metals leaching efficiency. The effect of several leaching conditions such as temperature, acid concentration, pulp density, stirring speed, and reaction time on the leaching of metals was investigated. Vanadium and molybdenum were selectively dissolved by oxalic acid from the spent catalysts. The leaching kinetics of vanadium by oxalic acid was also investigated. An activation energy of 8.76 kJ/mol indicated that the leaching kinetics of vanadium by oxalic acid solution was controlled by mass transfer.

Tetraethoxysilane(TEOS) as a silica precursor and hydrochloric acid as an acid catalyst have been used in a surfactant-template synthesis of micrometer-sized mesoporous silica microspheres based on the macroemulsion technique. Increase in the concentration of tetraethoxysilane of the reaction mixture has a serious destructive effect on the particle shape and pore structure. As the acid concentration increases, relatively small microspheres are formed without destroying their spherical morphology of the particles as well as the pore structures. However, due to the attractive interaction between particles in an acidic condition, strong silica agglomerates are formed, and therefore are subject to a post-ultrasonic treatment to separate into an individual single particle.

Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of 3,3-bis(methylthio)-2-propen-1-phenyl-1-one derivatives were studied kinetically in concentrated aqueous hydroperchloric acid(-Ho < 2.23) at $30^{\circ}C.$ The substituent effect, analysis of hydrolysis product, hydration $parameter({\omega} & {\phi}$) from the Bunnett equation and the Bunnett-Olsen equation on the rate indicate that the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the substrates below 3.8 M hydroperchloric acid media occurs through A-1 type reaction($3.3 >{\omega},\;0.58 >{\phi} & {\rho}< 0$) mechanism and above 3.8 M hydroperchloric acid, the reaction proceeds A-2 type reaction($0 <(\omega)$, $0 <{\phi} & (\rho)> 0$) mechanism.
