$NaBH_4$ was added to improve the water reactivity of aluminum powder as a solid propellant for underwater propulsion. Aluminum powders showed different combustion characteristics depending on the amount of $NaBH_4$ added. When $NaBH_4$ was added, it was burned by reaction with water even at a temperature much lower than the boiling point. In this study, it was confirmed that $NaBH_4$ is an effective additive to accelerate the vapor reaction with Al powder.

The study on the hydrogenation and isomerization of unsaturated bicyclic hydrcarbon compounds using methylcyclopentadiene dimer (MCPD) was carried out. Exo compound was prepared through isomerization reaction after two hydrogenation reaction steps. In the first hydrogenation reaction which needs one mole of hydrogen, the formation rate of monomer was increased as dimer was decomposed at reaction temperature above $100^{\circ}C$. At first hydrogenation, DHDMCPD [dihydrodi(methylcyclopentadiene)] was formed and second hydrogenation was proceeded to produce THDMCPD [tetrahydrodi(methylcyclopentadiene)], the ratio of exo to endo THDMCPD was varied by the control of 2nd hydrogenation temperature. To improve the process, continuous 1st and 2nd hydrogenation conditions were established by using the 2nd stage heat controllable reactor. Also, catalytic activities were compared by the use of halogenized aluminum, metal halides and solid acids catalysts on the isomerization reaction from endo to exo THDMCPD.

In an aluminum-air unit cell used alkaline solution, Hydrogen evolution rates were investigated far the observation of the effects of alloy element, inhibitor and its concentration in electrolyte, KOH concentration, solution temperature, and current density loaded to cell. Hydrogen evolution rates were reduced up to $50\%$ by saturating the solution with ZnO, while ZnAc(Zinc Acetate) did not work as inhibitor. The inhibition effect of ZnO increased with increasing the KOH concentration and solution temperature. They were linearly increased with the KOH concentration and current density in first order and exponentially increased with the solution temperature.

In the conversion of methanol, the effect of acide property of heteropoly compounds on the catalytic activity was investigated. The pretreatment of Cu-exchanged 12-tungstophosphoric acid with hydrogen enhanced both the selectivity for propane and the conversion of methanol, and the pretreatment of Al-exchanged 12-tungstophosphoric acid with water enhanced the acid strength of the catalyst. The water added into the reactant decreased the conversion of methanol, while the pretreatment temperature did not affect it but the propylene/propane ratio. Various partially-substituted Al salts of 12-tungstophosphoric acid showed different catalytic activities depending on the degree of Al-substitution.

Al containing mesoporous molecular sieve (Al-MMS) was synthesized by hydrolysis of $H_2SiF_6$ and $Al(NO_3)_3{\cdot}9H_2O$. The material obtained was characterized by XRD, $N_2$-physisorption. The specific surface area was $981m^2/g$, and the average pore size was uniformity $39{\AA}$. It was confirmed that the acidity of Al-MMS was milder than that of zeolite Y based on the results of $NH_3$-TPD. Active materials, Pt and Pd, were loaded on Al-MMS in order to examine the feasibility of using Al-MMS as a catalyst support in the hydrogenation of aromatic compounds included in the residue oil of a naphtha cracker. The hydrogenation activity of PtPd/Al-MMS has been studied by following the kinetics of the hydrogenation of naphthalene, and by comparing the kinetic parameters obtained with Pt and Pd catalysts supported on the other mesoporous material support and commercial conventional support materials. PtPd/Al-MMS catalyst shows the highest activity of hydrogenation and sulfur resistance. The high activity of PtPd/Al-MMS was confirmed again in the hydrogenation of PGO (pyrolized gas oil), which is residue oil obtained from a naphtha cracker. Therefore, PtPd/Al-MMS can be applied to the hydrogenation of aromatic compounds included in the residue oil of a commercial naphtha cracker commericially.

Hydrogen in atmosphere can easily dissolve in melt of light metal alloys. Increasing demand for recycling of light metal a alloys has, therefore, focused attention on the removal of hydrogen gas, and alloy addition in melt has become an imporLant r refining process. For this purpose behaviors of mixing and hydrogen degassing in impeller agitated refming vessel with/without barnes were investigated. Flow patterns, mixing time behavior and kinetics of degassing in various agitating conditions were analysed in watet model experiments. And, numerical analysis on turbulent flow pattern in impeller agitated vessels was performed.

The preparation method of Raney nickel catalyst and the effect of promotor for the hydrogen electrode in alkaline fuel cell were investigated with electrochemical methods. The best electrode performance was observed with the Raney nickel which was obtained at $700^{\circ}C$ of sintering temperature and 60:40 of nickel:aluminum. As titanium was added for promotor, the activity of catalyst and characteristic of electrode was improved. Especially, the electrode containing 2w/o of titanium showed the maximum mass activity of 2.4A/g and its mean particle size was $5.7{\mu}m$. The resistance and capacitance of the electrode containing 2w/o of titanium, measured with AC impedance spectroscopy, were calculated to the $0.3{\Omega}cm^2$ and $0.42F/cm^2$, respectively.
