The production of hydrogen from steam by reduced iron with additives such as CuO, $In_2O_3$, $MoO_3$ and $WO_3$ has been kinetically investigated. It was shown that all additives have a promoting effect on reaction activity in the order of $$MoO_3{\gg}In_2O_3{\sim_=}WO_3{\sim_=}CuO$$. The shrinking core model was applied to predict the complete conversion time and the results were quite comparable with experimental values. The reaction was carried out in a fixed flow reactor packed with reduced iron with 1 wt % of additives under the conditions, $600-750^{\circ}C$, Ar flow rate of 1 L/min and steam partial pressure of 0.085 atm. The apparent activation energies were 14.2, 20.9, 21.3, 22.4 and 27.9 kJ/mol with $MoO_3$, $In_2O_3$, $WO_3$, CuO and without additive, respectively.

최근 들어 WGS 반응은 Pt과 같은 귀금속 촉매를 다양한 담체에 담지하여 낮은 온도에서 높은 활성을 지닌 촉매를 제조하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. WGS 반응에서 귀금속 촉매가 높은 활성을 가지기 위해서 높은 산소저장능력(Oxygen Storage Capacity)과 산화환원능력(Redox)을 지닌 담체 개발이 필요하다. Ce-$ZrO_2$ 담체는 구조적으로 안정하며 높은 산소저장능을 가지고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. Ce-$ZrO_2$ 구조는 Ce/Zr 비에 따라 다양한 변화가 생긴다. Ce/Zr 비가 6/4, 8/2인 경우 입방구조(Cubic)를 가지며 2/8인 경우 정방입계(Tetragonal)구조를 가진다. 이것은 담체 특성의 변화를 의미한다. 따라서, WGS 반응용 최적 담체를 선정하기 위해 Ce/Zr 비를 제조변수로 하여 담체특성을 분석하였다. 제조된 모든 담체는 공침법(Co-precipitation)을 사용하여 제조하였으며 $500^{\circ}C$에서 6시간 소성하였다. 담체 특성분석은 BET, XRD를 이용하였다. 추가적으로 제조변수를 다양화하여 담체 제조를 마쳤으며 특성분석이 진행 중이다. 분석 결과 $Ce_{0.2}Zr_{0.8}O_2$ 담체가 가장 넓은 표면적을 가지고 있으며 Ce/Zr 비가 높아질수록 표면적이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. Ce-$ZrO_2$ 담체의 나노결정크기는 Ce/Zr 비가 작아질수록 결정크기가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며 $Ce_{0.2}Zr_{0.8}O_2$가 Ce-$ZrO_2$ 담체 중에서 가장 작은 결정크기를 나타내어 3nm 이하의 나노-담체가 제조되었음을 확인하였다.

Perovskite-type oxides were successfully prepared using microwave-assisted process, and by XRD, XPS, BET, and $H_2-TPR$. Their catalytic activities for the combustion of benzene were also examined. Most of catalysts studied showed the perovskite crystalline phase with the particle size of 21~35 nm. The $LaMnO_3$ catalyst showed the highest activity and the conversion reached almost 100% at $250^{\circ}C$. The catalysts prepared by microwave-assisted process showed higher activity compared to those prepared sol-gel method. In addition, the catalytic activity was increased with an increase of calcination temperature of $LaMnO_3$-type catalyst. The TPR results on the measurement of redox property showed a good correlation with the order of catalytic activity on the benzene combustion reaction.

This study was performed to study the photocatalyst for controlling the pollutant such as CO, C₂H₅OH and H₂S by the UV light. This was shown in a catalyst having the same volume and the same surface area, that the structure in which the UV light to reach the interior structure exhibits more excellent activity. However, the activity of this activity of this photocatalyst removal of CO was very low. This problem can be solved by performing a reduction process by the addition of the precious metal series of Pt. Particularly, the amount of chemical species Pt⁰ incerased in the surface of Pt/TiO₂ photocatalyst through the reduction process, which make the reaction activity of photocatalyst excellent to the removal of the CO.

고체산화물 연료전지의 연결재의 필요한 물성으로는 공기극과 연료극을 차폐시켜줄 수 있는 고밀도와 구성 소재간의 전기적으로 연결될 수 있는 전기전도도 및 낮은 이온전도도. 산화극과 환원극에서 화학적 안정성과 타 구성 소재와의 열팽창 계수가 일치 등이 중요한 특성으로 필요하게 된다. 이를 위해 LaCrO3계 연결재가 주로 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 LCO계 연결제는 $1400^{\circ}C$ 이상의 높은 소결 온도와 이로 인한 Cr의 휘발로 인한 타 구성소재와의 반응 등으로 인해 저온소결의 필요성이 재기되고 있는 소재 이다. 본 연구에서는 LCO계 구성 소제에 소결 조제를 첨가하여 저온에서 결정성 및 소결거동, 전기적 특성을 평가하였다.

Catalytic combustion of toluene was investigated on the Cu-Mn oxide catalysts prepared by the impregnation(Imp) and the deposition-precipitation(DP) methods. The mixing of copper and manganese has been found to enhance the activity of catalysts. It is then found that catalytic efficiency of the Cu-Mn oxide catalyst prepared by the DP method on combustion of toluene is much higher than that of the Cu-Mn oxide catalyst prepared by Imp method with the same chemical composition. The catalyst prepared by the deposition-precipitation method observed no change of toluene conversion at time on stream during 10 days and at the addition of water vapor. On the basis of catalyst characterization data, it has been suggested that the catalysts prepared by the DP method showed uniform distribution and smaller particle size on the surface of catalyst and then enhanced reduction capability of catalysts. Therefore, we think that the DP method leads on progressive capacity of catalyst and promotes stability of catalyst. It was also presumed that catalytic conversion of toluene on the Cu-Mn oxide catalyst depends on redox reaction and $Cu_{1.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ spinel phase acts as the major active sites of catalyst.

The xAl-yCe oxide catalysts with different mol ratios of Al/(Al+Ce) were prepared by a co-precipitation method and Pt supported on xAl-yCe oxide catalysts were synthesized by an incipient wetness impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), $N_2$ sorption, and $H_2$/CO-temperature programmed reduction ($H_2$/CO-TPR) to correlate with catalytic activities in co oxidation. Among the catalysts studied here, Pt/1Al-9Ce oxide catalyst showed the highest activity in dry and wet reaction conditions and the catalytic activity showed a typical volcano-shape curve with respect to Al/(Al+Ce) mol ratio. When the presence of 5% water vapor in the feed, the temperature of $T_{50%}$ was shifted ca. $30^{\circ}C$ to lower temperature region than that in dry condition. From CO-TPR, the desorption peak of $CO_2$ on Pt/1Al-9Ce oxide catalyst showed the highest value and well correlated the catalytic performance. It indicates that the Pt/1Al-9Ce oxide catalyst has a large amount of active sites which can be adsorbed by co and easy to supplies the needed oxygen. In addition, the amount of pentacoordinated $Al^{3+}$ sites obtained through $^{27}Al$ NMR analysis is well correlated the catalytic performance.

Industrial wastewater generated in the electroplating and metal finishing industries typically contain toxic free and complex metal cyanide with various heavy metals. Alkaline chlorination, the normal treatment method destroys only free cyanide, not complex metal cyanide. A novel treatment method has been developed which destroys both free and complex metal cyanide as compared with Practical Plant(I). Prior to the removal of complex metal cyanide by Fe/Zn coprecipitation and removal of others(Cu, Ni), Chromium is reduced from the hexavalent to the trivalent form by Sodium bisulfite(NaHSO$_3$), followed by alkaline-chlorination for the cyanide destruction. The maximum removal efficiency of chromium by reduction was found to be 99.92% under pH 2.0, ORP 250 mV for 0.5 hours. The removal efficiency of complex metal cyanide was max. 98.24%(residual CN: 4.50 mg/L) in pH 9.5, 240 rpm with 3.0 $\times$ 10$^{-4}$ mol of FeSO$_4$/ZnCl$_2$ for 0.5 hours. The removal efficiency of Cu, Ni using both hydroxide and sulfide precipitation was found to be max. 99.9% as Cu in 3.0 mol of Na$_2$S and 93.86% as Ni in 4.0 mol of Na$_2$S under pH 9.0$\sim$10.0, 240 rpm for 0.5 hours. The concentration of residual CN by alkaline-chlorination was 0.21 mg/L(removal efficiencies: 95.33%) under the following conditions; 1st Oxidation : pH 10.0, ORP 350 mV, reaction time 0.5 hours, 2nd Oxidation : pH 8.0, ORP 650 mV, reaction time 0.5 hours. It is important to note that the removal of free and complex metal cyanide from the electroplating wastewater should be employed by chromium reduction, Fe/Zn coprecipitation and, sulfide precipitation, followed by alkaline-chlorination for the Korean permissible limit of wastewater discharge, where the better results could be found as compared to the preceding paper as indicated in practical treatment(I).

현재 기술 산업에서 PET위 무전해 도금을 실행하기 위해 다양한 전처리 공정과 Catalyst가 소개되고 있다. 그 중에서 가장 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 Catalyst는 Palladium으로서 Tin과 산화 환원 반응으로 Electroless Copper Deposition 단계에서 구리 도금의 Target으로 작용하고 있다. 하지만 상대적으로 Palladium은 생산 비용이 높으며 Tin은 쉽게 산화되는 문제점이 남아 있다. 이를 대체하기 위한 대안 공정으로서 Palladium 대신 Silver를 이용하여 Catalyst로서의 역할을 하는 공정이다. 이전에 PET위 전처리 공정으로 Ultra Violet을 사용하여 표면을 개질 시키는 방법을 연구했으며, 그 후 Potassium Permanganate와 Silver Catalyst의 Mechanism을 연구 했다. PET 표면 개질을 거치면서 화학 구조가 바뀌어 표면에 Carbon Carbon Double Bond를 형성한다. 이때 Permanganate ion이 새로이 형성된 이중 결합과 반응하여 두 개의 extra-OH functional group을 생성함과 동시에 $MnO_2$를 만들어 표면에 흡착 시킨다. $MnO_2$는 전위차에 의해 Silver Ion과 Redox Reaction을 일으키며 실질적인 Catalyst 역할을 하게 된다. Silver Catalyst는 무전해 구리 도금 용액 안에서 Copper의 Target으로 작용한다.

Objective of this research was to assess the effectiveness of the different sources of the zero-valent irons (ZVIs) on the reduction of the toxic Cr(VI) to the nonhazardous Cr(III) in an aqueous solution. The physical and chemical properties of the six ZVIs were determined. Particle size and specific surface area of the ZVIs were in the ranges of $85.55{\sim}196.46{\mu}m\;and\;0.055{\sim}0.091m^2/g$, respectively. Most of the ZVIs contained Fe greater than 98% except for J (93%) and PU (88%). Reduction efficiencies of the ZVI for Cr(VI) reduction were varied with kinds of ZVIs. The J and PU ZVIs reduced 100% and 98% of Cr(VI) in the aqueous solution, respectively, within 3 hrs of reaction. However, PA, F, Sand J1 reduced 74, 65, 29 and 11% of Cr(VI), respectively, after 48 hrs. The pH of the reacting solution was rapidly increased from 3 to $4.34{\sim}9.04$ within 3 hrs. The oxidation-reduction potential (Eh) of the reacting solution was dropped from 600 to 319 mV within 3 hrs following addition of ZVIs to the Cr(VI) contaminated water. The capability of ZVIs for Cr(VI) reduction was the orders of PU > J > PA > F > S > J1, which coincided with the capacities to increase the pH and decrease the redox potentials. Results suggested that the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) was derived from the oxidation of the ZVI in the aqueous solution.
