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.

국내에서 천연 제올라이트는 부존자원으로서의 높은 잠재성에도 불구하고, 용도개발에 대한 연구개발이 부진하여 관련산업이 활성화되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 환경개선용 기능성 소재로서의 천연 제올라이트의 응용이 앞으로 국내에서 천연 제올라이트의 부가가치 향상을 도모할 수 있는 효과적인 방안이 될 것으로 생각된다. 환경산업 분야에서는 천연 제올라이트가 합성 제올라이트와의 경쟁관계에서 유리한 위치를 점유할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 환경산업에서 천연 제올라이트의 새로운 수요처가 형성되면 기존의 저급한 용도보다 한 단계 향상된 부가가치의 창출이 가능할 것으로 여겨진다. 국내산 천연 제올라이트의 자원잠재성과 부가가치를 제고시키기 위해서 앞으로는 관련산업이 응용광물학적 지식기반 산업으로 전환되어야 한다. 또한 지금까지 국내에서 천연 제올라이트에 관례적으로 적용되어 왔던 화학조성 및 CEC 분석자료에 의거한 제올라이트의 품위 및 품질 평가 방식에서도 개선과 보완이 요구된다. 특히 X-선회절 정량분석, 전자현미경관찰, 선택적 이온교환 및 흡착특성과 관련된 실험 등을 통해서 천연 제올라이트의 품위와 품질이 보다 정밀하게 감정되고 평가되어야 할 것으로 여겨진다. 따라서 앞으로는 천연제올라이트의 부가가치 향상을 위한 연구개발과 산업응용은 반드시 제올라이트의 세공구조, 광물상, 광물 조성 및 특성에 대한 이해와 지식에 기반하여 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Zeolites with different structures were synthesized from the hydrothermal synthesis condition employing simple structure directing agent (SDA) containing piperidine moiety. The gel containing $1.0SiO_2$:0.9SDA:$0.062NaAlO_2$:0.217NaOH:$20H_2O$ was subject to hydrothermal synthesis at 413~453 K for 7 days. FER type zeolite was obtained at 433 K when piperidine was employed as SDA, whereas TON and MFI type zeolites were also obtained at 433 K when 2,6-dimethylpiperidine and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine were used, respectively. Further increase of hydrothermal synthesis temperature to 453 K resulted in the formation of TON type zeolite when 2-mtheylpiperidine was used. The structural analysis of powder X ray diffraction pattern over FER type zeolite suggested that the SDA, piperidine interacted intimately with the zeolite where it located close to the framework.

In the present study, water vapor adsorption was evaluated at 298.15K for 9 different zeolites having LTA, FAU, CHA, and RHO frameworks, and then effect of framework type, Si/Al molar ratio, and alkali ion type on water up-take was investigated. Zeolites showed water up-takes which were increased in an order of $RHO<CHA{\approx}LTA<FAU$ frameworks. NaY zeolite having FAU framework showed a water up-take of 406 mg/g at p/po=0.5. The up-take was a little larger than that of 13X zeolite with the same framework. Among LTA zeolites, Ca-type 5A zeolite showed the highest water adsorption (282 mg/g at p/po=0.5) which could be explained by the large pore volume. Both CHA zeolite with a Si/Al molar ratio of 2.35 and RHO zeolite with a Si/Al molar ratio of 3.56 showed considerable water up-takes, even though the Si/Al molar ratio was much larger than that of LTA zeolite. In the present study, it is announced that in addition to FAU and LTA zeolites, CHA and RHO zeolites can be a promising dehumidification adsorbent.

ZSM-5계 제올라이트는 직경이 약 6${\AA}$인 균일한 3차원 채널 형태의 기공을 형성하므로 이를 이용한 기체 분리막은 분자체가름(molecular sieving)이나 미세기공확산(micropore diffusion) 및 표면확산(surface diffusion) 메커니즘에 의해 최근 지구 온난화의 주범으로 지목되고 있는 CO$_2$ 기체에 대해 높은 분리 효율을 기대할 수 있으므로 ZSM-5 복합분리막의 제조 및 기체 투과 특성과 CO$_2$ 분리 특성에 대해 연구하였으며 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 콜로이달 실리카 졸에 질산 알루미늄, 수산화 나트륨 및 TPABr을 첨가한 혼합졸과 물유리를 증류수로 희석한 후 TPBr을 첨가한 용액을 각각 150~180${\AA}$의 온도 범위의 오토클레이브에서 수열 처리하여 ZSM-5와 실리카라이트를 합성하였다. 합성 제올라이트의 결정 구조는 사방정이었으나 450${\AA}$에서 하소하였을 때에는 단사정으로 전이됨과 동시에 채널 속을 채우고 있던 TPABr이 제거되면서 제올라이트의 3차원 채널 형태의 기공 구조가 생성되었다. 제올라이트 결정의 형상과 크기는 실리카 공급원과 반응용액/졸의 농도에 따라 매우 민감하게 변화되었다. 하소 제올라이트의 비표면적은 약 360 m$^2$/g 이었다. 합성 제올라이트의 표면은 소수성인 반면에 높은 CO$_2$ 흡착능을 갖고 있어서 CO$_2$ 분리용 막의 재료로써 적합하였다.

Zeolite was synthesized hydrothermally using the water-treatment sludge, and the effects of various synthesis parameters like reaction temperature, reaction time, and Na2O/SiO2 molar ratio on the crystallization of zeolite were investigated. Crystal structure, physical property, and thermal stability of zeolite crystals were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, BET nitrogen adsorption, and TGA measurements. The removal efficiencies of nitrogen in ammonia, heavy metal ions, and TOC were calculated to evaluate zeolite's adsorption capacity. The primary chemical composition of water-treatment sludge was 28.79% Al2O3 and 27.06% SiO2. The zeolites were synthesized by merely employing the water-treatment sludge as silica and alumina sources without additional chemicals. Zeolite crystals synthesized through the water-treatment sludge were confirmed as an A-type zeolite structure. Zeolite A had the highest crystallinity obtained from a gel with the molar composition 2.1Na2O-Al2O3-1.6SiO2-65H2O after 5 h at a temperature of 90 ℃. The specific surface area of zeolite obtained was 55 ㎡ g-1, which was higher than commercial zeolite A. The removal efficiency of nitrogen in ammonia was 68% after 3 h of reaction time, while the removal efficiencies of Pb2+ and Cd2+ ions were 99.1% and 99.3%, respectively. These results indicate active ion exchange between Pb2+ or Cd2+ ion and Na+ ion in the zeolite framework. The adsorption experiments on the different zeolite addition conditions were performed for 3 h with 300 ppm humic acid. Based on the results, TOC's highest efficiency was 83% when 5 g of zeolite was added.

The substitution of vanadium atoms into the zeolite framework structure could be applied to the large pore zeolites by means of modified treatments as well as direct hydrothermal synthesis. The incorporation of V into the zeolite framework was demonstrated by instrumental analysis techniques. The result of X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the unit cell parameters increased after incorporation of vanadium into the zeolitic lattice, indicating that the replacement of Si by the larger V atoms could cause a slight expansion in the unit cell. In addition, the results of FTIR, Uv-Vis and Si-MAS-NMR spectra strongly support the incorporation of V into the zeolite framework. Acid leaching of aluminum in zeolites can provide a vacant position in the lattice for the insertion of vansdium by secondary hydrothermal treatment.

The transformation of alkylaromatic hydrocarbons using zeolite catalysts play big part in the current petrochemical industry. Here we review recent advances in the understanding of the reaction mechanisms of various alkylaromatic conversions with respect to the structural and physicochemical properties of zeolite catalysts employed. Indeed, the shape-selective nature of zeolite catalysts determines the type of reaction intermediates and hence the prevailing reaction mechanism together with the product distribution. The prospect of zeolite catalysis in the developement of more efficient petrochemical processes is also described.

In the present study, pure RHO zeolite was hydrothermally synthesized by using 18-crown-6 ether as a structure directing agent(SDA), and the small gases adsorption was investigated. Synthesized RHO zeolite was a cube shape particle of which average edge length was around $1.2{\mu}m$ and composed of primary crystallites having a diameter of around 100 to 200 nm. RHO zeolite structure was stable under 3h calcination at $600^{\circ}C$. Water adsorption data announced that RHO zeolite has a specific surface area of 483.32 m2/g and its micropore diameter was about 4 A. Gas adsorption was studied in the pressure range of 50 to 500 kPa for $CO_2$, $N_2$, $O_2$ and $H_2$. It was evident that RHO zeolite showed a strong $CO_2$ adsorption behavior. Especially, RHO zeolite showed a transient $CO_2$ adsorption behavior. The 3h $CO_2$ up-take at 50 kPa and 500 kPa was 1.283 and 3.357 mmol/g, respectively. The $CO_2/H_2$ selectivity was around 16 at 500 kPa. Compared with gas adsorption data for some representative microporous adsorbents, it was certain that RHO zeolite is a beneficial adsorbent for $CO_2/H_2$ separation.
