The NO oxidation process has been applied to improve a removal efficiency of NO included in exhaust gas. In this study, to produce a dry oxidant for the NO oxidation process, the catalytic H₂O₂ decomposition method was proposed. A variety of the heterogeneous solid-acidic Mn-based catalysts were prepared for the catalytic H₂O₂ decomposition and the effect of their physico-chemical properties on the catalytic H₂O₂ decomposition were investigated. The results of this study showed that the acidic sites of the Mn-based catalysts has an influence on the catalytic H₂O₂ decomposition. The Mn-based catalyst having the abundant acidic sites within the wide temperature range in NH₃-TPD shows the best performance for the catalytic H₂O₂ decomposition. Therefore, the NO oxidation efficiency, using the dry oxidant produced by the H₂O₂ decomposition over the Mn-based catalyst having the abundant acidic properties under the wide temperature range, was higher than the others. As a remarkable result, the best performances in the catalytic H₂O₂ decomposition and NO oxidation was shown when the Mn-based Fe₂O₃ support catalyst containing K component was used for the catalytic H₂O₂ decomposition.

The study on the characteristics of nitrous oxide catalytic decomposition was carried out to utilize the nitrous oxide as a propellant. The Pt, Ir and Ru were synthesized to select a high performance catalyst for the nitrous oxide decomposition reaction. The respective catalyst precursors were loaded in the $Al_2O_3$ support using an wet impregnation method. The $N_2O$ conversion as a variation of space velocity and reaction temperature was measured using a tubular reactor. The catalyst loss was measured to evaluate the durability of catalysts after the reaction at $800^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The $N_2O$ conversion was increased at the decrease of space velocity and at the increase of temperature. The Ru/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst had the highest $N_2O$ conversion at low temperature and the best durability.

The effects of zeolite type catalysts addition on the thermal decomposition of low density polyethylene(LDPE) and ethylene vinyl acetate(EVA) resin have been studied in a thermal analyzer(TGA, DSC) and a small batch reactor. The zeolite type catalysts tested were natural zeolite, FCC catalyst, used FCC catalyst, and catalyst A. As the results of TGA experiments, addition of antifogging-agent decreased the pyrolysis point to $250^{\circ}C$, but addition of longevity-agent and clay reduced the pyrolysis rate in EVA resin. Addition of the zeolite type catalysts in the LDPE resin increased the pyrolysis rate in the order of catalyst A > used FCC catalyst > natural zeolite > LDPE resin. Addition of the zeolite type catalysts in the EVA resin increased the pyrolysis rate in the order of used FCC catalyst > natural zeolite > catalyst A > EVA resin. In the DSC experiments for LDPE resin, addition of zeolite type catalysts decreased the melting point and the heat of pyrolysis reaction in the order of catalyst A > used FCC catalyst > natural zeolite> LDPE resin. In the batch system experiments, the mixing of natural zeolite enhanced the yield of liquid fuel oil.

In this study, we investigated the kinetics of acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of xylan over a 60 min at $120^{\circ}C$. Sulfuric, oxalic and maleic acids were used as acid catalyst for hydrolysis. The calculated degradation rate constants ($k_1$) showed a correlation with the acid concentration, meaning that the stronger the acid, the higher the xylan degradation rate. Among sulfuric, oxalic and maleic acid catalyzed hydrolysis, the xylan degradation rate to xylose was highest with sulfuric acid. At equivalent solution pH, acid catalyzed hydrolysis was proportional to $H^+$ concentration. The $k_1$ of dicarboxylic acid such as oxalic and maleic acid was higher than that of sulfuric acid at same pH values during hydrolysis.

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is sulfaamide-based synthetic antibiotics, which are widely prescribed pharmaceutical compound to treat bacterial infections in both human and animals. Most of them are not completely decomposed as refractory substances. The environmental impact of pharmaceuticals as emerging contaminants has generated severe concerns. In this study, catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of SMX was carried out with $Cu/Al_2O_3$ catalyst and investigated the optimum reaction conditions of temperature, dosage of catalyst and concentration of $H_2O_2$ to completely decompose the SMX. It was observed that SMX was completely decomposed within 20 min using 0.79 mM $H_2O_2$ and 6 g $Cu/Al_2O_3$ catalyst at 1 atm and $40^{\circ}C$, but SMX was not fully mineralized and converted to intermediates as hydroylated-SMX, sulfanilic acid, 4-aminobenzenesulfinic acid and nitrobenzene. After that these are completely mineralized through organic acid. We proposed the decomposition reaction path ways of SMX by analyzing the behavior of these intermediates. To investigate the durability of heterogeneous catalyst, decomposition of SMX was observed by continuously recycling catalysts. When the heterogeneous catalyst of 10 wt% $Cu/Al_2O_3$ was continuously reused 5 times, decomposition of SMX was a little lowered, but the activity of catalyst was overall very stable.

This paper proposes an effective decomposition method of trichloroethylene using pellet packed-bed non-thermal plasma reactor and catalyst. For that, two types of reactors filled with manganese dioxide and alumina pellets are designed. When $MnO_2$ packed reactor is used, TCE decomposition rate is high due to the generation of oxygen atom radicals at the surface of catalyst during ozone decomposition. In addition, When $Al_2O_3$ packed reactor is used, TCE is oxidized into DCAC and it did not decomposed into small molecules such as COx and $Cl_2$. However, the plasma processed gas using $Al_2O_3$ packed reactor is passed through the $MnO_2$ catalyst reactor, which is placed at the downstream of plasma reactor, the decomposition rate increased as well due to oxygen atom radicals through ozone decomposition. Therefore, the adequate use of $MnO_2$ catalyst in the plasma process is very promising way to increase the decomposition efficiency.
