Numerical solutions were obtained to the model equations for various of the parameters characterizing the pore structure, effective internal diffusion, and the chemical reaction constant. The conversion was decreased with the cause of pore closure at the surface of reacting particles, reduction of porosity, surface area of reaction and effective diffusion coefficient in the solid with the progress of reaction. Total conversion was strongly dependent on the local conversion at surface. According to the decreasing of impregnated concentration of the copper oxide and the increase of the flue gases concentration, total conversion was increased. The conversion was affected by gas flow rate and pore size distribution in the reacting solid.

The substitution reaction and structrue of products obtained from the reaction of Equatorial-Skew-[Co(TRDTRA)($OH_2$)] (TRDTRA = trimethylenediaminetriacetate) with $CN^-, NO^{-}_{2}$ and $NCS^-$ ions have been investigated by means of electronic absorption spectroscopy and theoretical calculation based on the Yamatera's theory. According to kinetic data, the substitution reaction order for the complexes such as $CN^-, NO^{-}_{2}$ and $NCS^-$ was the first order, respectively, and overall reaction order was second order. It has been determined that the structure of products having $CN^{-} and NO^{-}_{2}$ ions was Polar-Chair type complexes which were accompanying with isomerization and having $NCS^-$ ion was Equatorial-Skew type complex which was not accompanying with isomerization.

A kinetic study was made to determine the mechanism of the aquation of $cis-[Co(en)_2(NH_3)Cl]^{2+}\;in\;Hg^{2+}$ aqueous solution. The progress of reaction was followed UV/vis-spectrophotometrically by a measurement of the absorbance at a specific wave length (530nm) of $cis-[Co(en)_2(NH_3)Cl]^{2+}$ as a function of time. The experimental results have shown that the reaction rate is dependent upon the concentration of $Hg^{2+}$ that act as a catalyst. And it was found that the overall reaction proceed with second order, first order with respect to Co(III) complex and $Hg^{2+}$. Activation parameters, ${\Delta}H^{\neq}\;and\;{\Delta}S^{\neq}$, were obtained as 12.9 kcal/mol and -19.3 e.u., respectively. We have proposed a plausible reaction mechanism which is consistent with the observed rate equation.

A two-dimensional direct numerical simulation was performed to investigate the evolution and vortical structure of a single vortex in reacting and non-reacting jet flow fields. A predictor-corrector-type numerical scheme with a low Mach number approximation was used, and a two-step global reaction mechanism was adopted as the combustion model. Through the comparisons of single vortex behaviors in reacting and non-reacting jet flow fields, it was found that the evolution characteristics and vortical structure of the single vortex were significantly influenced by a outer vortex that was generated from the buoyance effect as well as the chemical heat release. Furthermore, it was also identified that the differences of the vortical structure in reacting and non-reacting jet flow fields were mainly attributed to the thermal expansion, Baroclinic torque and buoyance effect.

The kinetics of tar formation has been studied experimentally and modeled mathematically for waste lubricating oil after pyrolyzed at batch reactor. And stabilization of pyrolyzed oil has been studied. A combination of series and parallel reaction was assumed for the mechanism of tar formation. From the proposed kinetic model, pyrolyzed oil to tar was found to be rate limiting step for tar formation. It was found that the fly ash and coke had the ability to remove materials of tar formation and to protect oxidation of pyrolyzed oil.

The characteristics of cyanide decomposition in aqueous phase by electric oxidization have been explored in an effort to develop a process to recycle waste water. Considering current efficiency and voltage, the free cyanide decomposition experiment by electric oxidization indicated that 5 V of voltage and copper catalytic Cu/CN mole ratio 0.05 was the most appropriate condition, where current efficiency was 26%, and decomposition speed was 5.6 mM/min. High voltage and excess copper addition increased decomposition speed a little bit but not current efficiency. The experiment of free cyanide density change proves that high density cyanide is preferred because speed and current efficiency increase with density. Also, the overall decomposition reaction could be represented by the first order with respcect to cyanide with the rate constant of $1.6∼7.3${\times}$10^{-3}$ $min^{-1}$ The mass transfer coefficient of electric oxidization of cyanide came out as $2.42${\times}$10^{-5}$ $min^{-1}$ Furthermore, the Damkohler number was calculated as 5.7 in case of 7 V and it was found that the mass transfer stage was the rate determining step.

2, 4-Heptadione(abbreviated to 24HTD) was synthesized from methylpropyl ketone and ethyl acetate with sodium amide, and the equilibrium and the kinetic characteristics of copper extraction by 24HTD-chloroform were investigated. Equilibrium constants such as the dissociation constant and the distribution coefficient of 24HTD and the stability constant of the 24HTD-Cu chelate were evaluated from the spectrophotometry, and the overall equilibrium constant of the extraction was also determined. The extracted species of the 24HTD-Cu chelate was found to be $CuR_2$ and the initial rate of the extraction of coupper by 24HTD in chloroform was expressed by $R_0=k[\bar{HR}]([Cu^{2+}]/[H^+])^{0.5}$.

An optimum synthetic condition was studied for the MCS used as a silicone monomer. The contact mixture was made from the four component catalyst system($CuCl/ZnCl_2/Sn/Cd$) and silicon particles. The contact mass was used for a series of experiments with methyl chloride, which were designed and done to explore the optimum condition for MCS synthesis by an experimental design method. The optimum temperature and MeCl flow rate, which were obtained using 50g contact mass at 60rpm and 1 atm, were in the range of $300-305^{\circ}C$ and of 70-80ccm. Also a continuous run was performed to confirm the conditions. The results showed that the average reaction rate and selectivity were 170(g-MCS/hr.kg-Si) and 0.05 respectively at 67% conversion of MeCl and 92% silicon utilization rate. Also the parameters of overall reaction rate equation and a total pressure were estimated on the basis of the results of the continuous run.

The suppression mechanisms of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) as a representative fire suppression agent were revisited using a counterflow diffusion flame which could be applied the concept of a local application system. To end this, the low strain rate $CH_4$/air counterflow diffusions with $CO_2$ addition in either fuel or oxidizer stream were examined numerically using detailed-kinetic chemistry. Radiative heat loss due to radiating gas species including $CO_2$ added was considered by the optically thin model (OTM). As a result, the critical $CO_2$ volume fractions in the oxidizer stream required to extinguish the flame were in good agreement with the experimental data reported in the literature, while somewhat under-prediction was observed with $CO_2$ added in the fuel stream. The surrogate agents were adopted to estimate the quantitative contribution with changing in global strain rate ($a_g$) on the flame extinguishment among pure dilution effect, thermal effects including radiation heat loss and chemical effect due to the $CO_2$ fire suppression agent.

The present study aims to investigate the flow characteristics with respect to fuel type and equivalence ratio in the flame spray coating process. The flame spray flow is characterized by much complex phenomena including combustion, turbulent flows, and combined heat transfer. The present study numerically simulated the flam spray process and examined the gas dynamics involving combustion, gas temperature and velocity distributions in flame spray process by using commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code of FLUENT (ver. 13.0). In particular, we studied the effect of fuel type and equivalence ratio on thermal and flow characteristics which could substantially affect the coating performance. From the results, it was found that the gas temperature distributions were varied with different fuels because of reaction times were different according to the fuel type. The equivalence ratio also could change the spatial flame distribution and the characteristics of coated layer on the substrate.
