Hydrogenation reactions of p-toluidine over Ru/C were performed while varying reaction temperature, the hydrogen pressure, catalyst loading, solvent, and alkali additive and the effects on the reaction rates and product distribution were examined. 4-Methylcyclohexylamine was generated as a main product and bis(4-methyl cyclohexyl)amine was obtained as a resentative side-product for the hydrogenation reaction of p-toluidine. The selectivity of MCHA decreased with reaction temperature and the hydrogen pressure while increased with catalyst loading. IPA was the best solvent for MCHA. A mechanism of hydrogenation reaction of p-toluidine was suggested from the results. It was found that the presence of alkali salt increased MCHA by reducing BMCHA and rates of hydrogen reaction increased.

The aim of this study is the development of technologies of methanol production from carbon dioxide by catalytic hydrogenation. Experiments about carbon dioxide hydrogenation by catalyst mixed with CuO, ZnO, $Cr_2O_3$ and $Al_2O_3$ were conducted to find optimum catalyst and reaction condition. Reactions were carried out at atmospheric and high pressures between 200 to $350^{\circ}C$. High yield of methanol was obtained with $Cu/ZnO/Cr_2O/Cr_2O_3/Al_2O_3$ catalyst at $250^{\circ}C$ and above 30 atmospheric pressure. There was not any increament of hydrogenation reactivity for the catalysts which was made by the addition of Pd to $Cu/ZnO/Cr_2O/Cr_2O_3/Al_2O_3$.

The PVC powder was treated at $200~250^{\circ}C$, in 0~2 M NaOH solutions for 0~5 h to study the kinetics of dehydrochlorination. In the case of water, the dehydrochlorination of PVC powder proceeded by the zero order reaction with X(the degree of dehydrochlorination), and the apparent activation energy was about 46 kcal/mol. The rate of dehydrochlorination increased with con-centration to 0.5 M NaOH, and proceeded by the first order reaction with X. And, the kinetics of dehydrochlorination was almost equal above 0.5 M NaOH. The apparent activation energies of dehydrochlorination in 0.1 M and 0.5 M NaOH was about 46 kcal/mol, respectively.

Dehydrogenation from the hydrolysis of a sodium borohydride ($NaBH_4$) solution has been of interest owing to its high theoretical hydrogen storage capacity (10.8 wt.％) and potentially safe operation. An experimental study has been performed on the catalytic reaction rate and pressure drop of a $NaBH_4$ solution over both a single microchannel with a hydraulic diameter of $300{\mu}m$ and a staggered array of micro pin fins in the microchannel with hydraulic diameter of $50{\mu}m$. The catalytic reaction rates and pressure drops were obtained under Reynolds numbers from 1 to 60 and solution concentrations from 5 to 20 wt.％. Moreover, reacting flows were visualized using a high-speed camera with a macro zoom lens. As a result, both the amount of hydrogenation and pressure drop are 2.45 times and 1.5 times larger in a pin fin microchannel array than in a single microchannel, respectively.

폐기물, 석탄 등 다양한 시료의 가스화 반응을 통해서 발생되는 합성가스는 CO, $H_2$, $CO_2$가 주성분으로 가스엔진, 가스터빈 등의 연료로 사용하여 발전하거나 합성반응을 통해 다양한 화학원료로의 전환이 가능하다. 또한 폐기물, 석탄 등의 다양한 원료의 가스화 반응에 의해 발생한 합성가스로부터 F-T(Fischer-Tropsch) 합성을 통한 인조합성석유, Non F-T 합성을 통한 메탄올, DME(Dimethyl Ether) 등을 제조할 수 있으며, 메탄화 반응을 통해 대체천연가스(SNG, Substitute Natural Gas)로 제조하여 활용하는 방안도 가능하다. 또한 현재 상업용 규모의 수소 제조 방법 중에서 가장 경제적인 방법으로 천연가스를 개질하여 CO, $H_2$가 주성분인 합성가스를 만든 다음 수성가스 전환, PSA(Pressure Swing Adsorption)통해 $CO_2$와 $H_2$를 분리하여 생산하고 있으나, 천연가스 가격의 상승 및 다양한 시료로부터 향후 경제성 확보가 가능한 수소 제조 방법에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 석탄 가스화 및 폐기물 가스화를 통해 얻어진 합성가스로부터의 수소 제조 공정이 개발 및 상업화 추진되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 폐기물 가스화를 통해 발생한 합성가스에 대하여 수성가스 전환 반응을 통한 수소 생산 특성 및 수성가스 전환 반응의 공간속도 변화 및 스팀주입량 변화에 따른 반응 특성을 고찰하였다.

The generation of high-purity hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels is essential for efficient operation of fuel cell. In general, most feasible strategies to generate hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels consist of a reforming step to generate a mixture of $H_2$, CO, $CO_2$ and $H_2O$(steam) followed by water gas shift(WGS) and CO clean-up steps. The WGS reaction that shifts CO to $CO_2$ and simultaneously produces another mole of $H_2$ was carried out in a two-stage catalytic conversion process involving a high temperature shift(HTS) and a low temperature shift(LTS). In the WGS operation, gas emerges from the reformer is taken through a high temperature shift catalyst to reduce the CO concentration to about $3\sim4%$ followed to about 0.5% via a low temperature shift catalyst. The WGS reactor was designed and tested in this study to produce hydrogen-rich gas with CO to less than 0.5%.

석탄 가스화에서 유도된 합성가스는 합성반응 공정을 통하여 합성석유, 메탄올(& DME), 합성천연가스(SNG) 등의 다양한 화학원료를 제조할 수 있어 이의 활용이 점차적으로 확대될 것이다. 이 중 SNG 공정의 경우, 석탄가스화기에서 생산된 합성가스는 집진, 탈황, 수성가스전환($H_2$/CO 비를 조절), $CO_2$ 제거 등의 공정을 거쳐 메탄화 반응기로 유도되는데, 메탄화 반응에서 $CO_2$가 반응에 참여하면 탄소포집 및 저장(CCS)의 부담을 크게 줄일 수 있어 이에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 특히, 상업용으로 활용되고 있는 단열반응기를 직렬로 연결할 경우, 메탄화반응의 발열로 인한 반응기내의 온도 상승으로 $CO_2$가 생성되는데 이후의 2차 또는 3차의 단열반응기에서 $CO_2$ 수소화반응이 진행되면 최종 생성물인 메탄의 수율이 증가하며, 뿐만아니라 생성물 중 포함된 수소의 농도를 낮출 수 있는 장점을 가지게 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 Ni계 촉매를 사용하여 풍부한 $H_2$ 분위기에서 Fe를 첨가하여 이의 함량이 $CO_2$ 수소화반응의 탄소 전환율과 생성되는 메탄의 수율에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다.

Lauan sawdust was gasified by steam reforming for hydrogen production from biomass waste. The fixed bed gasification reactor with 1m height and 10.2 cm diameter was utilized for the analysis of temperature and catalysts effect. Steam was injected to the gasification reactor for the steam reforming effect. Lauan sawdust was mixed with potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate + potassium carbonate and magnesium carbonate + calcium carbonate catalysts of constant mass fraction of 8:2 which was injected to the fixed gasification equipment. The compositions of production gas of gasification reaction were analyzed at the temperature range from $400^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$. Fractions of hydrogen, methane and carbon monoxide gas in the production gas increased when catalysts were used. Fractions of hydrogen, methane and carbon monoxide gas were increased with increasing temperature. The highest hydrogen yield was obtained with sodium carbonate catalyst.
