막분리에 의한 폐윤활유 재생공정을 개발하기 위한 기초 연구로써 폐윤활유 분리/재생용으로 적합한 복층(multilayer)세라믹 복합막의 제조와 합성막의 폐유 분리 효율등이 연구되었다. 결함이 없고 두께가 균일한 지르코니아 복합막 (기공크기 0.07 $\mu$m 이하)은 압출 성형법으로 제조한 튜브형 $\alpha$-알루미나 담체 (외경 7.8 mm, 두께 0.6 mm, 기공크기 0.7 $\mu$m)내부표면에 역침지 인상법(reverse dip-drawing technique)에 의하여 지르코니아 슬러리를 코팅 한 후 950$\circ$C에서 1시간 열처리하여 제조 되었다. 또한 지르코니아 복합막 위에 니타니아 졸-겔 코팅을 한 후 450$\circ$C에서 2시간 열처리하여 기공크기가 15 nm정도인 3층 복합막을 제조 하였다. SEM, Bubble Point Test, Mercury Porosimeter 그리고 분획 분자량 측정등에 의하여 복합막의 코팅층 두께, 결함유무 및 막의 기공크기등을 분석하였다.

폐윤활유 재생용 TiO2 한외여과막은 정밀영과용 지르코니아 복합막(즉, 복층담채) 및 알루미나 단층 담체(기공크기 0.1$mu extrm{m}$)상에 졸-겔 코팅법에 의하여 TiO2 분리막 층을 코팅하여 제조 하였다. TiO2 졸의 특성 분석을 통하여 봉입침지(sealed dip-coating) 및 가압 코팅(pressurized coating)법으로 결함이 없는 TiO2 복합막을 제조할 수 있는 코팅조건을 최적화 하였다. 합성 TiO2 한외여과막의 분리막층 두께는 1$\mu\textrm{m}$이하의 범위에서 조절되었으며,기공값을 보여주었으며 75$0^{\circ}C$까지 열처리하여도 80%정도의 용질배제율(기공크기 22.5nm)을 유지하는 점으로 봐서 고온 공정을 요하는 폐윤활유 재생막으로서 충분한 열적 안정성을 갖고 있었다.

Manganese (Mn) catalysts were generated using $CeO_2$ and $ZrO_2$supports synthesized by the supercritical hydrothermal method and two different Mn precursors, aimed at an application for a low-temperature selective catalytic reduction process. Manganese acetate (MA) and manganese nitrate (MA) were used as Mn precursors. Effects of the kind and the concentration of the Mn precursor used for catalyst generation on the NOx removal efficiency were investigated. The characteristics of the generated catalysts were analyzed using $N_2$ adsorption-desorption, thermo-gravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. De-NOx experiments were carried out to measure NOx removal efficiencies of the catalysts. NOx removal efficiencies of the catalysts generated using MA were superior to those of the catalysts generated using MN at every temperature tested. Analyses of the catalyst characteristics indicated that the higher NOx removal efficiencies of the MA-derived catalysts stemmed from the higher oxygen mobility and the stronger interaction with support material of $Mn_2O_3$ produced from MA than those of $MnO_2$ produced from MN.

DME has received much attention because of its possible use as a fuel and a chemical feedstock. Chemical conversion of DME to olefin (DTO) over various SAPO-34 catalysts was carried out using a fixed bed reactor. Main products of the reaction were light olefins such as ethylene, propylene and butenes. The best reaction conditions for high life time of the catalyst and high selectivity of light olefins were a reaction temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ and a WHSV of $3.54h^{-1}$. In addition, it was found that the deactivation of a SAPO-34 catalyst can be significantly suppressed by the addition of $ZrO_2$ as a supporter.

Even traces of CO in the hydrogen-rich feed gas to proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) poison the platinum anode electrode and dramatically decrease the power output. In this work, a variety of catalytic materials consisting of $Cu/Ce_xZr_{1-x}O_2$, (x = 0.0-1.0) were synthesised, characterized and tested for CO oxidation and preferential oxidation of CO (PROX). These catalysts prepared by hydrothermal and deposition-precipitation methods. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, XRF, SEM, BET, $N_2O$ titration and oxygen storage capacity (OSC) measurement. The effects of composition of the support and degree of excess oxygen were investigated fur activity and $CO_2$ selectivity with different temperatures. The composition of the support markedly influenced the PROX activity. Among the various $Cu/Ce_xZr_{1-x}O_2$ catalysts having different composition, $Cu/Ce_{0.9}Zr_{0.1}O_2$ and $Cu/Ce_{0.7}Zr_{0.3}O_2$ showed the highest activities (>99%) and selectivities (ca.50%) in the temperature range of $150{\sim}160^{\circ}C$. It was found that by using of $Ce_xZr_{1-x}O_2$ mixed oxide support which possesses a high oxygen storage capacity, oxidation-reduction activity of Cu-based catalyst was improved, which resulted in the increase of catalytic activity and selectivity of CO oxidation in excess $H_2$ environments.

Catalytic combustion is the environmental-friendly technology, which has been applied to a variety of areas for industrial and domestic use in recent years. Accordingly, this study performed the development of the catalytic manufacturing technology for the high temperature and of the catalytic combustor in priority, which were aimed to be aimed to a commercialized condensing boiler. Palladium(Pd) of a noble meta] was used as a catalyst for the high temperature and supported on $alumina(Al_{2}O_{3})\;and\;zirconia(ZrO_2)$ in constant weight ratio. Activity of Pd catalysts is compared and analysed in the catalytic combustion of natural gas. The ratio of $Pd/Al_{2}O_{3}\;=\;4$ was found to be better than any other weight ratios in activity and durability. The performance examination of catalysts and of combustion through the plate-type combustor made it possible to be developed the cylindrical-type combustor which has increased combustion area. Catalytic combustion condensing boiler of 25,000 kcal/hr class was also developed, which had the optimum combustion condition at the no221e of 5.95mm and the orifice of 21mm. This condition was determined through the performance experiments of catalytic combustion condensing boiler to which the cylindrical-type catalytic combustor was applied.

Steam reforming of methane (SRM) is the primary method to produce hydrogen. Commercial Ni-based catalysts have been optimized for SRM with excess steam ($H_2O/CH_4$ > 2.5) at high temperatures (> $700^{\circ}C$). However, commercial catalysts are not suitable under severe conditions such as stoichiometric steam over methane ratio ($H_2O/CH_4$ = 1.0) and low temperature ($600^{\circ}C$). In this study, 15wt.% Ni catalysts supported on $Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ were prepared at various calcination temperatures for SRM at a very high gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of $621,704h^{-1}$. The calcination temperature was systematically varied to optimize 15wt.% $Ni-Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ catalyst at a $H_2O/CH_4$ ratio of 1.0 and at $600^{\circ}C$. 15wt.% $Ni-Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ catalyst calcined at $500^{\circ}C$ exhibited the highest $CH_4$ conversion as well as stability with time on stream. Also, 15wt.% $Ni-Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ catalyst calcined at $500^{\circ}C$ showed the highest $H_2$ yield (58%) and CO yield (21%) among the catalysts. This is due to complex NiO species, which have relatively strong metal to support interaction (SMSI).

Catalytic wet air oxidation of acetic acid over Mn-Ce based catalysts deposited on various supports ($SiO_2$, $TiO_2$, $ZrO_2$), $ZrSiO_4$, $ZrO_2(10wt%)/TiO_2$) have been carried out in high pressure microreactors. Also, promotional effects by small addition(O.5~1.0 wt%) of p-type semiconductors (CoO, $Ag_2O$, SnO) have been investigated. From the screening tests for initial activity ranking, both Mn(2.8)-Ce(7.2 wt%) and Ru(O.4)Mn(2.7)-Ce(6.9 wt%) supported on $TiO_2$ were selected as the promising reference candidates. In $Mn-Ce/TiO_2$ reference catalyst, addition of small amount of each p-type semiconductor (Co, Sn and Ag) resulted in activity promotional effect and the degree of the increase was in the following order: Co> Ag > Sn. Especially, $Mn-Ce/TiO_2$ promoted with 0.5 wt% Co gave the 2.6 folds activity increase compared to the reference case attributing to the surface area increase as well as synergy effect. In $Ru-Mn-Ce/TiO_2$ reference catalyst, only Co(1.0 wt%) promoted case showed a little reaction rate increase.
