석탄액화반응에서 촉매 세공구조가 촉매 불활성화에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 간단한 모델을 전개하였다. 촉매의 세공수 분포에 근거하여 두 개의 Dirac delta 함수분포를 갖는 다공질 촉매구조를 제안하였으며 촉매 세공구조와 반응속도상수와의 관계를 유도하기 위하여 단순화된 반응계를 가정하였다. 균일 코드피복 가정에서 본 모델을 촉매 불활성화 예측에 적용하였으며 계산과정에서 세공율, 세공 크기 등의 촉매 특성치에 대해서는 실제값을 이용하였다. 본 모델연구에 의하면 unimodal 촉매에 비해 bimodal 촉매가 촉매 불활성화에 덜 민감하였다.

자원 재활용 및 에너지 생산관점에서 폐유지로부터 환경친화적인 연료인 바이오디젤에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 폐유지내 함유된 유리지방산 및 수분에 의해 효율적인 에스테르화 반응이 어렵기 때문에 이를 전처리 단계에서 제거되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 폐유지내 유리지방산을 효과적으로 제거하기 위하여 회분식 반응기에서 제올라이트 촉매의 종류에 의한 세공구조와 산성도 변화에 따른 유리지방산 전환반응에 미치는 영향을 조사해 보았다. 제올라이트 촉매의 유리지방산 전환율은 세공구조와 산성도에 따라 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 유리지방산 전환율은 FAU < MOR < MFI < BEA의 순으로 높았다. 제올라이트의 세공구조는 1차원적인 구조를 가질 경우 탄소침적이 일어나지만 3차원적인 세공구조를 가지는 경우 탄소침적에 의한 촉매의 활성저하가 감소된다. 또한 제올라이트의 산성도에 따른 특성으로는 유리지방산의 전환반응에는 중간정도의 산세기를 가진 촉매가 유리함을 확인하였다. 그러므로 폐유지로부터 유리지방산을 제거하기 위한 우수한 제올라이트 촉매로는 BEA 제올라이트 촉매임을 확인하였다.

This study is to investigate the correlation between pore structures of activated carbons and adsorption characteristics of acetone vapor using the dynamic adsorption method. The experimental results showed that the breakthrough time of ACT activated carbon made by Takeda was the longest, because ACT has more micropores below pore diametr $10{\AA}$ than the compared activated carbons. The equilibrium adsorption capacity had direct correlation to the breakthrough time. The relation between BET specific surface area and the equilibrium adsorption capacity was hard to say linear. Therefore, it was difficult to estimate the adsorption ability of activated carbons only by BET specific surface area. The correlation factor between the cumulative surface area and the equilibrium adsorption capacity decreased with enlarging the range of pore size, and there was the highest correlation factor in the range of below $10{\AA}$.

This study is to investigate changes of pore structure with different burn-off degree of steam activated carbons manufactured from domestic anthracite. The activated carbons were characterized by adsorption of nitrogen at 77 K. Steam activation substantially enhanced the porosity of the activated carbons. Burn-off increased linearly according to increasing activation time, and total pore volume and BET surface area increased with burn-off. Activation at $800^{\circ}C$ increased more micropore volume than that at $950^{\circ}C$. Activated carbons manufactured at high temperature had less microporosity than that at lower temperature, but had more developed macroporosity. The steam activation produced an enlargement of pore below $100{\AA}$ diameter in the activated carbons. Furthermore, the porosity in the $6{\sim}40{\AA}$ pore diameters range increased considerably with the degree of burn-off.

Concrete using eco-cement has a problem with long-term strength development. However, currently, a long-term strength development mechanism is not confirmed, resulting in a lack of application of eco-cement in construction fields. In this study, the curing humidity influence on development in long-term strength of concrete using eco-cement and the relationship between strength and pore structure were examined. The results showed that wet cured eco-cement with a high water/cement ratio showed serious long-term strength reduction due to non-reduction of pore volume (pore size over 10 nm) in mortar caste with eco-cement. Also, the study results on improvement of long-term strength of eco-cement by partial replacement with ordinary portland cement and finely-ground fly ash showed that both of these alternatives improved long-term strength of concrete caste with eco-cement due to gradual refinement of their micro-structure.

Methanol-to-olefin (MTO) reaction was studied over MWW zeolite with independently developed two pores (circular and straight) and MFI zeolite with intercrossed sinusoidal and straight pores in order to investigate the effect of pore structure on their catalytic behavior. MWW and MFI zeolites with similar acidity exhibited commonly high conversion and slow deactivation in the MTO reaction, but their product selectivities were considerably different: linear hydrocarbons of $C_3-C_9$ were mainly produced on MWW, while the yield of $C_2{^=}$ and aromatics were high on MFI. Polyaroamatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were accumulated on MWW, but a small amount of benzene and aromatics on MFI. The impregnation of phosphorous on MWW caused significant decreases in the catalytic activity and toluene adsorption, but the decreases were relatively small on MFI. Although the straight pores of MWW were inactive in the MTO reaction due to the accumulation of PAHs, its circular pores which suppressed the formation of PAHs sustained catalytic activity for the production of linear hydrocarbons. Therefore, the impregnation of phosphorous on the circular pores of MWW caused a significant decrease in catalytic activity. The phosphorous impregnation on the cross sections of MFI altered the product selectivity due to the neutralization of strong acid sites, but catalytic deactivation was negligible. The difference of MWW and MFI zeolites in the MTO reaction was explained by their difference in pore structure.

This study is to investigate the correlation of pore structures of Zeolite 5As modified with acid and their adsorption capacity of toluene vapor using the dynamic adsorption method. The experimental results showed that the modification with acid allowed more micropores and enlarged the existing pores. Toluene vapor was mainly adsorbed on the surface of pores over $15\;{\AA}$ in diameter. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of toluene vapor of the modified Zeolite 5As was in the range of $15{\sim}70\;mg/g$ and the equilibrium adsorption capacity was increased to f times than that of the Zeolite 5A. The correlation between the total cumulative surface area and the equilibrium adsorption capacity was hard to say linear. The correlation in diameter between the cumulative surface area in the range of over $15\;{\AA}$ and the equilibrium adsorption capacity gate the highest correlation factor of 0.997.

Various types of bio wood chip for fermentation-extinction of food waste was investigated by comparing their different pore structure with the performance of weight loss rate and microbial activity. The fermentation-extinction of food waste with bio wood chip was examined by adding 700~1,500g of food waste every day during 15 days to the fermentation-extinction reactor with condition of $30{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ temperature and 30~70% humidity, where 1,500g of bio wood chips were existed. The bio wood chips used in this experiment were categorized into 4 different types; microbial-mixing type(A biochip), macro pore type(B biochip) under $2{\mu}m$ of pore size, micro pore type of wood-chips(C biochip) under $0.1{\mu}m$ of pore size, viscous & sticky type(D biochip). As a result, A, B, C, D bio wood chip exhibited 85%, 63%, 92%, 73% weight loss of food waste with fermentation-extinction. The maximum weight loss of food waste was obtained at the fermentation-extinction experiments by using C bio wood chip. On the other hands, the maximum ratio of ATP to COD and TN was obtained from $3.00{\times}10^{-10}$ and $2.31{\times}10^{-11}$ in the case of C bio wood chip, comparing with other types of bio wood chip. Consequently, the performance of weight loss rate was affected with the micro pore structure of bio wood chip which have an advantage of extensive microbial activity space in the fermentation-extinction of food waste.

The experiment was carried out to fabricate alumina membrane which has a cylindrical pore structure by anodizing aluminium plate in sulfuric acid solution with the electrochemical technique. The aluminium plate for anodizing was prepared by the pretreatment process such as chemical, electro-polishing and thermal treatment. The pore size distribution and the film thickness of alumina membrane were investigated by the implementation of scanning electron microscope(SEM) and BET method. The results show that the oxide film has a geometrical structures like a Keller model and that the membrane has a uniform pore distribution. The pore size and the oxide film thickness are dependent on the anodizing process variables such as the electrolyte concentration, the reation temperature and the anodizing current density.
