Rates and equilibriurn of complex formation between $Ni^{2+}$ and D-penicillamine have been investigated in aqueous solutions. Kinetic study on the complex formation were performed in the pH range of 8∼9 by the use of pressure-jump technique. D-Penicillamine coordinates to the nickel(II) ion utilizing sulfur and nitrogen as donor atoms in the high pH condition (pH 9.2). However, in the pH range of 8.25∼9.07, the stepwise stability constant becomes drastically reduced and the undissociated mercapto group does not participate in bonding. The rate-determining step of the complexation reaction is found to be the release of a water molecule from the inner-coordination sphere of $Ni^{2+}$ ion.

The catalytic oxidation of CO has been investigated on $ZnCe_{1+y}O_2$ at temperatures from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$ under various P_{CO} and PO_2 conditions. The oxidation rates have been correlated with 1.5-order kinetics: first order with respect to CO and 0.5 order with respect to O2. CO appears to be absorbed essentially on the O lattice of $ZnCe_{1+y}O_2$ as a molecular species, while $O_2$ adsorbs on an O vacancy as an ionic species. The conductivity data show that CO adsorption contributes electron to the conduction band and the adsorption process of $O_2$ withdraws it from an O vacancy. The oxidation mechanism and the defect model of $ZnCe_{1+y}O_2$ are inferred at given temperature and $PO_2'$s from the agreement between the conductivities and kinetic data. It is suggested that CO absorption is the rate-controlling.

Cathodic oxygen reduction kinetics on $La_{0.9}Sr_{0.1}MnO_3$ electrode have been examined at $700-900^{\circ}C$ under various oxygen partial pressures. AC impedance and current interruption techniques were employed for the determination of charge transfer resistances for electrochemical oxygen reduction. The $R_{ct}$ values obtained from two different methods were very close each other for $La_{0.9}Sr_{0.1}MnO_3$ electrode. Activation energy for the electrochemical oxygen reduction was found to be 174kJ/mol under atmospheric oxygen pressure. $R_{ct}$ measurements as a function of oxygen partial pressure indicate that the rate-determining step for the electrochemical oxygen reduction on $La_{0.9}Sr_{0.1}MnO_3$ electrode is the charge transfer process.

The effects of deposition temperature on chemical vapor deposited silicon carbide (CVD-SiC) were studied to obtain high deposition rates and excellent bending strength characteristics. Silicon carbide prepared at $1250{\sim}1400^{\circ}C$ using methyltrichlorosilane(MTS : $CH_3SiCl_3$) by hot-wall CVD showed deposition rates of $95.7{\sim}117.2{\mu}m/hr$. The rate-limiting reaction showed the surface reaction at less than $1300^{\circ}C$, and the mass transfer dominant region at higher temperature. The activation energies calculated by Arrhenius plot were 11.26 kcal/mole and 4.47 kcal/mole, respectively. The surface morphology by the deposition temperature changed from $1250^{\circ}C$ pebble to $1300^{\circ}C$ facet structure and multi-facet structure at above $1350^{\circ}C$. The cross sectional microstructures were columnar at below $1300^{\circ}C$ and isometric at above $1350^{\circ}C$. The crystal phases were all identified as ${\beta}$-SiC, but (220) peak was observed from $1300^{\circ}C$ or higher at $1250^{\circ}C$ (111) and completely changed to (220) at $1400^{\circ}C$. The bending strength showed the maximum value at $1350^{\circ}C$ as densification increased at high temperatures and the microstructure changed from columnar to isometric. On the other hand, at $1400^{\circ}C$, the increasing of grain size and the direction of crystal growth were completely changed from (111) to (220), which is the closest packing face, so the bending strength value seems to have decreased.

The copper-catalyzed reaction of silicon with methanol was carried out in a mixed bed reactor to obtain tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS). In order to determine the kinetics of the reaction per active site on the silicon surface, a flow rate transition technique was employed. A kinetic study showed the reaction was in Linear relationship with the amount of contact mass and independent on the concentration of methanol. This result indicated that the rate-determining step was not the chemical process involving methanol, but the formation of silicon intermediate on the contact mass. On the basis of optimum experimental conditions, the maximum TMOS formation rate per g-silicon is 0.030 (g/min) at $210^{\circ}C$, in which activation energy was 8.5 kcal/mol and reaction rate equation was $k=4.09{\times}10^4\;exp$ ($-4.73{\times}10^3/T$).

The experimental study on the reduction of $In_2O_3$ was performed by using thermogravimetric analyzer. The reduction of $In_2O_3$ was occurred at above $300^{\circ}C$. The reduction rates were rapidly increased with the reaction temperature, whilehardly affectedby the flow rate of hydrogen gas. It was found that the unreacted core model could be applied for the analysis of the reduction data and the rate control step was the chemical reaction of $In_2O_3$ with hydrogen on the surface of unreacted $In_2O_3$. The apparent activation energy for this reaction was 20kcal/g-mol $H_2$ and the rate equation of $In_2O_3$ reduction with hydrogen could be expressed in the following equation. ${\frac{dX}{dt}}=1.6{\times}10^5e^{-20000/RT}(1-X)^{2/3}$

Optimum conditions of the hydrogenation of PNA to pure PPD were determined in a three-phase slurry reactor with suspended Pd/C catalyst particles. Minimization of mass transfer resistances at the interfaces of both gas-liquid and liquid-catalyst particles and control of overall reaction rate on catalyst surface leaded to decrease the hydrogen starvation on reaction active sites and to reduce the side reactions during hydrogenation. The optimum temperature, pressure, and catalysst concentration were confirmed to be in the range of $60^{\circ}C$, 60~70 psig, and 1~2 g-cat/L, respectively. Reaction rate was zero order with respect to the concentration of PNA and 1st order with respect to the pressure of hydrogen(P). Overall rate expression of the reaction was $R_A=6.44{\times}10^6{\cdot}H{\cdot}P{\cdot}m{\cdot}$exp(-4659/T) where H is constant, m is concentration of catalyst, and T is temperature.

Study on chlorination of ilmenite ore were carried out by using PVC(polyvinyl chloride) as the chlorinating agent in a static bed reactor for selective removal of iron. The effect of amount of PVC and reaction temperature were investigated. It was found that the removal ratio of iron increased with amount of PVC and temperature. After reaction with HCl gas generated from PVC, porous surface of the specimens were observed. As a result, HCl gas could react with iron in the central portion of ilmenite particle through these pores. Examination of data using kinetic model suggest that the selective chlorination rate is controlled by chemical reaction at the interface of particles. The activation energy for the selective chlorination of ilmenite using PVC was calculated as 20.47 kJ/mol.

Every year, over $3.37{\times}10^7$ ton of municipal solid waste is generated in Korea, of which about 28% is organic food waste from restaurant, dining halls and households etc. Methane conversion of the food waste by anaerobic digestion could be a viable approach for energy recovery as well as safe disposal of the waste. However, as food waste is composed of highmolecular complex polymers such as cellulose, lignin and protein, anaerobic digestion of food waste has not been efficient in terms of volumetric loading rate, solid retention time and extent of anaerobic degradation. In this research, the improved anaerobic degradation of food waste was attemped by applying rumen microorganisms to anaerobic digestion. Acidification efficiency of food waste by rumen microorganisms was compared with that of conventional acidogenesis. And optimum acidification conditions by rumen microorganisms were also determined. For the experiments, anaerobic batch reactors of 600 mL was fed with the processed (dried and milled) food waste obtained from a restaurant. Ultimate volatile fatty acid (VFA) yield produced by rumen microorganisms was about 8.4 meq VFA/g volatile solid (VS) that is 95% of the theoretical value. This yield was not much different from that of conventional acidogenesis, but hydrolysis rate was about twice faster. Cumulative VFA concentration increased from 66 meq/L to 480 meq/L, when the initial TS was increased from 1% to 15%. But VFA yield at 15% TS was half of that at 1% TS. This inhibition on the acidification might be caused by the rapid drop of pH and higher concentration of nonionized VFA. Optimal pH and temperature range for the acidification were about 6.0~7.5 and $35{\sim}45^{\circ}C$, respectively.
