The catalytic activity of ZSM-5 catalyst for the disproportionation of toluene is dependent on the type of cation exchanged, the degree of ion-exchange and the reaction temperature. The activity increases in the order of alkaline-, alkali earth-, hydrogen, and rare-earth-exchanged ZSM-5 and decreases with increasing degree of cation exchange. Among the ion-exchanged ZSM-5 catalyst, only Cs-ZSM-5 shows predominant selectivity for p-xylene. The selectivity increases with increasing degree of $Cs^+$-exchange and decreasing reaction temperature. This phenomenon is interpreted in terms of shape selectivity arising from the partial blocking of channel intersections by large cesium ions.

For the preferential oxidation of CO contained in the fuel of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), CuO-$CeO_2$ mixed oxide catalysts were prepared by the sol-gel and co-precipitation methods to replace noble metal catalysts. In the catalyst preparation by the sol-gel method, Cu/Ce ratio and hydrolysis ratio were changed. The catalytic activity of the prepared catalysts was compared with the catalytic activity of the noble metal catalyst($Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$). Among the catalysts prepared with different Cu/Ce ratios, the catalyst whose Cu/Ce ratio was 4:16 showed the highest CO conversion (90%) and selectivity (60%) at $150^{\circ}C$. As the hydrolysis ratio was increased in the catalyst preparation, surface area increased, and catalytic activity also increased. The highest CO conversions with the CuO-$CeO_2$ mixed oxide catalyst prepared by the co-precipitation method and the noble metal catalyst (1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$) were 82 and 81% at $150^{\circ}C$, respectively, whereas the highest CO conversion with the CuO-$CeO_2$ mixed oxide catalyst prepared by the sol-gel method was 90% at the same temperature. This indicates that the catalyst prepared by the sol-gel method shows higher catalytic activity than the catalysts prepared by the co-precipitation method and the noble metal catalyst. From the CO-TPD experiment, it was found that the catalyst having CO desorption peak at a lower temperature ($140^{\circ}C$) revealed higher catalytic activity.

The reduction of $SO_2$ to elemental sulfur by CO over a series of iron niobate with nominal Nb/Fe atomic ratios of 1/0, 10/1, 5/1, 1/1, 1/5, 1/10 and 0/1 was studied with a flow fixed-bed reactor. Strong synergistic phenomena in catalytic activity and selectivity were observed for the iron niobate catalysts, and the best catalytic performance was observed for the catalyst with Fe/Nb atomic ratio of 1/1. The active phase of the activated iron niobate catalysts was identified to be $FeS_2$ using XRD and XPS. Selective reduction of $SO_2$ by CO was followed by the COS intermediate mechanism.

Selective catalytic oxidation of $H_2S$ to elemental sulfur using $TiO_2/SiO_2$ catalysts was investigated in this study. The reaction test with pure $TiS_2$ and $Ti(SO_4)_2$ and cyclic temperature operation revealed that $TiO_2$ had a good resistance to sulfation and sulfidation, which are known as the main cause of catalytic deactivation in sulfur recovery process. With the increase of $TiO_2$ loading amount in $TiO_2/SiO_2$ catalysts, the conversion of $H_2S$ increased and the selectivity of elemental sulfur was very slightly decreased. As the ratio of $O_2/H_2S$ increased, the selectivity to elemental sulfur was drastically decreased. In the presence of 10 vol.% water vapor to a stoichiometric mixture of $H_2S$ and $O_2$($H_2S$= 5 vol.% O=2.5 vol.% ), both activity and selectivity of 10 wt.% $TiO_2/SiO_2$ catalyst are decreased, but it still showed more than 80% of sulfur yield.

Borosilicate, HZSM-5 zeolite and iron-substituted borosilicate and HZSM-5 zeolite were prepared and their catalytic properties in methanol conversion were studied. The effects of strength and amount of acid site determined from TPD spectra of ammonia on the product distribution was examined. Selectivity to propylene was high over borosilicate with small amount of strong acid site, but selectivity to aromatic compound was high over HZSM-5 zeolite with large amount of the strong acid site. The participation of weak acid site on the conversion did not confirmed, and the product distribution could be explained in terms of the amount of the strong acid site. Although the amount of the weak acid site was increased by substitution of iron, there was no meaningful change in the product distribution.

선택적촉매환원(Selective Catalytic Reduciton: SCR)공정은 배기가스 중 질소산화물을 암모니아와 촉매상에서 반응시켜 무해한 질소와 물로 전환하는 기술이다(Bosch, 1988). SCR 공정에서 우수한 촉매가 확보되었을 경우, 설비의 성능은 촉매층로 유입되는 유동의 조건에 따라 좌우되므로 최적의 유동조건을 갖도록 반응기의 구조와 가이드 베인등 유로변경장치를 설계하는 것은 매우 중요하다(Cho, 1994). (중략)

현재 NO제거에 주로 사용되는 환원제로서 NH$_3$가 있는데 이는 NO에 대한 선택도가 우수하기 때문이다. 그러나, NH$_3$는 독성이 강하고 부식성이 있어 저장 및 수송에 많은 비용이 든다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SOx/NOx 동시 제거 공정에 효과적으로 알려진 fresh and sulfated CuO/${\gamma}$-A1$_2$O$_3$촉매상에서 독성이 강한 NH$_3$를 대신하는 새로운 환원제로서 urea용액을 이용하여 유동층 반응기에서 SCR을 수행해 보고자 한다.(중략)

수소는 미래의 청정에너지원이다. 수소를 생산하는 효과적인 방법으로는 탄소계촉매를 이용하여 부탄을 분해하는 것이다. 촉매는 카본블랙이 사용되었으며, $500{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위에서 열분해 반응과 촉매분해반응이 수행되었다. 열분해의 경우 온도가 증가함에 따라 전화율이 증가하여 $800^{\circ}C$에서 98.9%로 부탄이 거의 분해되었으며, $900^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 전화율이 100%까지 도달하였다. 부탄 분해반응에서 기대되는 생성물은 메탄, 에틸렌, 에탄, 프로필렌, 프로판 등이다. $1000^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서는 부탄 촉매 분해반응에서 거의 대부분 수소와 메탄만이 관찰되었다. 특히 $500-1100^{\circ}C$까지 온도가 증가하였을 때 수소의 생성율은 꾸준히 증가하는 것으로 확인되었고 촉매분해반응이 촉매를 사용하지 않은 열분해반응보다 온도가 증가함에 따라 수소의 선택도를 더욱 향상시켜 보다 많은 수소가 생성되었으며, 반응성 실험이 진행되는 동안 촉매의 비활성화는 관찰되지 않았다. 반응전후의 촉매의 특성을 분석하기 위해 TEM 및 SEM 분석을 하였다. 반응전의 촉매는 매끈한 모양이었으나 $1000-1100^{\circ}C$에서 반응후에는 표면에 돌기모양을 형성하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.

This review article highlights different types of nano-sized catalysts for the selective alcohol oxidation to form aldehydes (or ketones) with supported or immobilized metal nanoparticles. Metal nanoparticle catalysts are obtained through dispersing metal nanoparticles over a solid support with a large surface area. The nanocatalysts have wide technological applications to industrial and academic fields such as organic synthesis, fuel cells, biodiesel production, oil cracking, energy conversion and storage, medicine, water treatment, solid rocket propellants, chemicals and dyes. One of main reactions for the nanocatalyst is an aerobic oxidation of alcohols to produce important intermediates for various applications. The oxidation of alcohols by supported nanocatalysts including gold, palladium, ruthenium, and vanadium is very economical, green and environmentally benign reaction leading to decrease byproducts and reduce the cost of reagents as opposed to stoichiometric reactions. In addition, the room temperature alcohol oxidation using nanocatalysts is introduced.

This paper describes the very efficient and highly enantioselective ring opening of terminal epoxides with alkyl and arene sulfonic acid. The dinuclear chiral (salen) Co complexes bearing Lewis acids of Al, Ga and In catalyze the reaction enantioselectively in the presence of tetrabutylammonium chloride using tert-butyl methyl ether as a solvent. The variation of the anion of the tetra butyl ammonium salt has significant impact on the reactivity and selectivity of the asymmetric ring opening of phenyl glycidyl ether with p-toluenesulfonic acid. The order of reactivity and selectivity was found to be $Cl^-$ > $l^-$ > $Br^-$ > $OH^-$. Strong synergistic effects of the different Lewis acid centers of Co-Al, Co-Ga and Co-In complexes were observed in the catalytic process. The dinuclear chiral salen catalyst containing $AlCl_3$ was found to be most active and highly enantioselective (91% ee).
