This study reports a numerical analysis of the internal flow characteristics of the integrated urea-SCR muffler system with the various geometries of the multi-perforated tube which is set up between the muffler inlet and in front of SCR catalysts. The multi-perforated tube is generally used to disperse uniformly the urea-water solution spray and to make better use of the SCR catalyst, resulting in the increased $NO_x$ reduction and decreased ammonia slip. The effects of the multi-perforated tube orifice area ratios on the velocity distributions in front of the SCR catalyst, which is ultimately quantified as the uniformity index, were investigated for the optimal muffler system design. The steady flow model was applied by using a general-purpose commercial software package. The air at the room temperature was used as a working fluid, instead of the exhaust gas and urea-water solution spray mixture. From the analysis results, it was clarified that the multi-perforated tube geometry sensitively affected to the formation of the bulk swirling motion inside the plenum chamber set in front of the SCR catalyst and to the uniformity index of the velocity distribution produced at the inlet of the catalyst.

Modified dip-coating method 8.3 times shorten in solution volume-coated and 83.3 times in coating time than existing dip-coating method. Coating weight increased nearly 2~3 times. So modified dip-coating method is evaluated that it is economic and has a efficiency. When we make an experiment in coated $LaCoO_3$ on ceramic monolith in modified dip-coating method which use 2 coating applications with relative viscosity $0.006202kg{\cdot}m/sec$, it showed a superior reaction at 88.56mg per ceramic unit gram in NO-CO reaction(optimum coating amount). When we make an experiment in the same size of ceramic filter cell with different conditions 100, 200cell per square inch, the result in low temperature($200^{\circ}C{\sim}350^{\circ}C$), 200cell3 per square inch is 6~23% higher in NO reduction and 11% in CO oxidation than 100cell per square inch. It is because the more the number of cells in the ceramic filter increase, the more catalytic surface area is expanded.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) generate electricity by electrochemical reactions of hydrogen and oxygen. PEMFCs are expected to alternate electric power generator using fossil fuels with various advantages of high power density, low operating temperature, and environmental-friendly products. PEMFCs have widely been used in a number of applications such as fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) and stationary fuel cell systems. However, there are remaining technical issues, particularly the long-term durability of each part of fuel cells. Degradation of a carbon supported-platinum catalyst in the anode and cathode follows various mechanistic origins in different fuel cell operating conditions, and thus accelerated stress test (AST) is suggested to evaluate the durability of electrocatalyst. In this article, comparable protocols of the AST durability test are intensively explained.

Dissolution procedures of Monsanto catalyst which has been used to produce acrylronitrile by ammoxidation of propylene have been studied. Optimum dissolution condition of the catalyst supported on silica was obtained by microwave digestion system with mixed of HCl, HF and $H_2O_2$. When a safety device was activated by increased pressure in microwave vessel, Bi, Fe, Mo, Sb and U were not volatilized even though silica was volatilized as $SiF_4$. Quantification results by this method were $SiO_2$ $50.5{\pm}0.4%$, $Sb_2O_3$ $29.6{\pm}0.6%$, $UO_2$ $10.2{\pm}0.1%$, $Fe_2O_3$ $6.1{\pm}0.1%$, $MoO_3$ $0.73{\pm}0.01%$ and $Bi_2O_3$ $0.49{\pm}0.01%$ by ICP-AES and the relative error was within ${\pm}10%$ except bismuth.

여러 환경정화 방법들 중 광촉매를 이용한 처리기술들이 관심을 모으고 있다. 광에 의해 활성을 갖는 여러 촉매들 가운데 이산화티타늄($TiO_2$)을 중심으로 한 연구가 가장 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 TiO2를 개질화하여 광활성이 우수한 광촉매를 개발하고 이를 이용한 VOC 처리를 목적으로 하고 있다. VOC 중 할로겐화(halogenated)된 것들의 처리는 매우 어려우며 현재의 소각방식으로는 효과적으로 처리되고 있지 않다.

연소 배가스 중에 대표적인 가스상 중금속은 수은(Hg), 비소(As), 셀레늄(Se)을 들 수 있다. 이 중에서도 수은은 증기압이 높아서 가스상으로 배출될 가능성이 가장 높은 물질이다. 수은은 세계적으로 약 5000톤이 가스상으로 발생하고 있다. 이 중에서 1000톤은 자연적인 발생원 즉, 화산, 암반이나 해양에서의 증발로부터 발생하며, 나머지 4000톤은 인위적 시설들, 즉 소자로나 발전소, 천연가스, 형광등, 전기제품, 촉매 생산공정 등 일반산업체에서 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. (중략)

최근 세계적으로 환경문제에 대한 인식이 새롭게 변화하면서 산업발전을 지향하는 과정에서 과거의 산업개발 기조를 지양하고 환경 친화적인 산업구조로 변화하기 위해 규제강화 및 자구책 등을 모색하고 있다. 정책적 제도 마련과 더불어 환경 유해물질을 처리할 수 있는 새로운 기술 개발에 총력을 기울이고 있으며, 오존층의 파괴 및 인체에 해로운 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있는 휘발성유기화합물질(Volatile Organic Compounds, VOC)에 대한 처리 방안도 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있는 실정이다. (중략)

가스 상태의 반응 공정을 이용하는 반도체, 플라즈마, 연소 및 촉매를 이용한 유해가스처리와 대기환경 등에서는 반응을 주도하는 활성기(radical)의 역할 그리고 극미량(sub-ppm 수준)으로 존재하는 유해가스 성분등을 실시간으로 추적하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 현재 사용되고 있는 비 광학적 미량 가스 측정 장비들은 측정 대상 가스성분과 측정 장치의 프로브 사이의 물리적인 접촉이 요구되므로 감지시간이 늦고, 프로브 오염에 따른 hysteresis, 회복시간(recovery time)의 지연, 활성(부식성) 가스 샘플에 의한 감지기능 저하 등을 유발한다.

In this study, the catalytic activity of Mn-Phthalocyanine (Mn-PC) for VOCs (acetadehyde, propionaldehyde and toluene) combustion was determined. The reaction was carried out in a fixed bed reactor at the temperature range of $200{\sim}380^{\circ}C$. We investigated the physicochemical properties of Mn-PC before and after the pretreatment (air, $450^{\circ}C$, 1 hr, 60 cc/min) by TGA (Thermogravimetric Analyzer), BET (Brunauer Emmett Teller), EA (Elemental Analyzer), XRD (X-ray Diffractometer) and SEM (Scanning Electronic Microscope). By TGA analysis, 88 wt.% mass loss of Mn-PC was found at $419^{\circ}C$. The BET surface area of Mn-PC increased after the pretreatment. The decomposition and combustion of organic components in Mn-PC were observed by EA analysis. We also confirmed that Mn-PC had transformed into a new manganese oxide phase ($Mn_3O_4$) after the pretreatment by XRD analysis. By SEM analysis, many of the micropores generated during the pretreatment were found. The catalytic activity of Mn-PC with the pretreatment for propionaldehyde combustion was higher than that of $Mn_3O_4$ and fresh Mn-PC. It showed the catalytic activity of Mn-PC with the pretreatment for VOCs combustion by the order of toluene < acetadehyde < propionaldehyde.

The importance of high capacity energy storage devices has recently emerged for stable power supply through renewable energy generation. From this point of view, the Na-air battery (NAB), which is a next-generation secondary battery, is receiving huge attention because it can realize a high capacity through abundant and inexpensive raw materials. In this study, activated carbon-based catalysts for hybrid type Na-air batteries were prepared and their characteristics were compared and analysed. In particular, from the viewpoint of resource recycling, activated carbon (Orange-C) was prepared using discarded orange peel, and performance was compared with Vulcan carbon, which is widely used. In addition, a Pt/C catalyst (homemade-Pt/C, HM-Pt/C) was synthesized using a modified polyol method to check whether the prepared activated carbon can be used as a supported catalyst, and a commercial Pt/C catalyst (Commercial Pt/C) and electrochemical performance were compared. The prepared Orange-C exhibited a typical H3 type BET isotherm, which is evidence that micropore and mesopore exist. In addition, in the case of HM-Pt/C, it was confirmed through TEM analysis that Pt particles were evenly distributed on the activated carbon supported catalyst. In particular, the HM-Pt/C-based NAB showed the smallest voltage gap (0.224V) and good voltage efficiency (92.34%) in the 1st galvanostatic charge-discharge test. In addition, the cycle performance test conducted for 20 cycles showed the most stable performance.
