We prepared cylindrical y-alumina pellets using amorphous alumina and pore generating agent. The pellets were immersed in an aqueous solution of the mixture of Fe(NO$_3$)$_3$ㆍ9$H_{2}O$ and $CH_3$COOH. They were then hydrothermally treated at 20$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 h in autoclave, dried and calcined. For the application of environmental catalyst for its, we investigated the decomposition characteristics of 4-chlorophenol and the initiation characteristics of OH' conversion action in $O_3$ environment with or without the Fe$_2$O$_3$ supported ${\gamma}$-alumina catalyst and $O_3$ molecule.

We prepared the cylindrical $\gamma-alumina$ pellets of 5 mm in diameter and 10 mm in average length using amorphous alumina and pore generating agent. The pellets were immersed in an aqueous solution of the mixture of $Fe(NO_{3})_{3}{\cdot}9H_{2}O$ and $CH_{3}COOH$. They were then hydrothermally treated at $200^{\circ}C$ for 3 h in autoclave, dried and calcined. For the application as an environmental catalyst, we investigated the decomposition characteristics of aniline and the initiation characteristics of $OH^{\cdot}$ conversion action in $O_{3}$ environment with or without the $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ supported y-alumina catalyst and $O_{3}$ molecule.

catalytic combustion is accomplished by the chemical reaction between fuel and oxidizer at the catalyst surface, different from conventional combustion. Therefore, it is important that the fuel and air stream are well mixed and supplied uniformly prior to the combustion region. If the flow is maldistributed, a hot spot may occur that can lead to subsequent catalyst and substrate damage. Therefore, in order to enhance the mixing and flow uniformity, in this study, the perforated plate is used. A numerical simulation is performed to investigate the variation of flow characteristics by changing various parameters. Under each condition, the uniformity of the flow stream at the entrance of the catalyst section is evaluated and compared. The results show that the uniformity can be effectively improved for most of the case by using the well-designed perforated plates.

Gas diffusion passes are introduced to catalyst layer so as to enlarge reaction region in cathode and anode and then improve electrode performances. The catalyst layer was manufactured with PTFE/carbon (none catalyst loaded) for gas diffusion and Pt/carbon (10 w/o Pt catalyst loaded) by varing the mixing ratio of (PTFE/carbon) to (Pt/carbon) by catalyst powdering method. The electrodes made by mixing Pt(10 w/o)/carbon powders and PTFE/carbon powders containing 60 w/o PTFE at the ratio of 7 : 3 showed the best electrode performances. It was known that by comparing the porosities to electrode performances the electrode performances were increased as both macro pore for gas diffusion and micro pore for electrolyte intrusion were formed much more. The platinum catalyst content in electrode was 0.2 mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and the PTFE content was 42 w/o. The electrode performance in unit cell was 220 ㎃/$\textrm{cm}^2$/0.7 V at operating temperature of 150$^{\circ}C$.

In this study, an alkali metal Na was introduced into iron-based catalysts used in the carbon dioxide-based Fischer-Tropsch process by wet impregnation and physical mixing methods to compare their performance. The as-prepared catalysts were evaluated for reactivity at 3.5 MPa, 330 ℃, feed ratio of H₂/CO₂ = 3 with a space velocity of 4,000 mL h^-1 g_cat^-1. Comparing the two catalysts, it was found that Na was uniformly distributed throughout the catalyst when wet-impregnated, but Na for physically mixed catalyst was relatively located on the surface of the catalyst. In addition, the wet-impregnated catalyst showed higher liquid hydrocarbon (C₅₊) yield and lower CO selectivity. In conclusion, the effect of Na distribution in the catalyst on the reaction was identified and can be controlled by the introduction method.

워싱턴주 벤쿠버시 Bonneville 전력소 전주 보관 지역내 PCP와 creosote 오염토양 2g 당 0.020g heme에 0.108g $H_2O$$_2$을 혼합한 산화방법과 0.035g hemoglobin에 0.324g $H_2O$$_2$을 혼합한 산화방법을 비교ㆍ조사하였다. 오염토양에 $^{14}$ C-PCP을 첨가한 다음에 $^{14}$ C의 물질수지를 조사한 결과, 24시간동안 반응 후 $^{14}$ $CO_2$는 heme 과 hemoglobin반응에서는 각각 3.50g와 3.88% 생산되었다. $^{14}$ C 물질수지 분포는 heme 촉매 산화반응에서 용매 상에 43.01% 토양 상에는 46.03%이고, hemoglobin 촉매 산화반응에서는 용매 상에 39.21%와 토양 상에 51.25%로 비슷한 분포를 보였다. 실험실 규모 pan 실험에서 초기 PCP농도 273$\pm$20 mg/kg과 TPH 6379$\pm$45 mg/kg인 오염토양에서 hemoglobin 촉매 산화 반응이 초기반응을 제외하고 7일 이후 반응에서 heme 촉매 산화반응보다 빠르게 분해되었고, 35일 반응 이후 PCP는 10 mg/kg 이하의 값을 나타내었고, TPH도 유사한 결과를 보여 주었다. 그러므로 건조 hemoglobin과 과산화수소에 의한 PCP 오염토양 복원기술은 분해율이 높고 경제성을 가지고 있으므로 기존의 복원공정을 대안으로 제시될 수 있다.

The performance of catalysts for the recombination of oxyhydrogen gas was measured and compared with the results obtained from theoretical model. The oxyhydrogen gas was generated by the electrolysis cell and recombined through the fixed bed catalytic reactor. The yield that is the ratio of water-amount produced to the water-amount consumed in the electrolysis cell was increased with the increase of KOH concentration in electrolysis cell and the applied current. The catalyst 1 showed the best performance and the yield was under 60 %. The faradic yield calculated by Faraday's law showed about 100% in maximum with catalyst 1. The production rate of water generated by the recombination was 5-40 g/day dependent on the flow rate of mixed gas. Considering the results calculated from the pseudo-homogeneous catalytic reactor model, the hot point inside the reactor was moved to the direction of outlet and the maximum temperatures were $440-480^{\circ}K$ when the gas flow rate increased. The production rate of water calculated from the theoretical model showed good agreement with experimental results below the flow rate of $0.5cm^3/sec$, but there were much differences above that flow rate.

To improve the flow and mixing characteristics of marine SCR system, two different mixer including up-down and swirl type mixer were considered. The purpose of this study is to analyse turbulence intensity and uniformity index in detail and to improve the performance of SCR with respect to the mixer structure. The results showed that, the concentration uniformity index is improved by about 5% with the utilization of both mixers in the front of catalyst part. Although the RMS value and relative turbulence intensity increased after the up-down type mixer, it could observed that the value of two parameters decreased with the flow proceeding forward to the downstream. For the case of swirl type mixer, the decrease of RMS value and relative turbulence intensity were relatively smaller than that of up-down type mixer, and uniform distribution of relative turbulence intensity was observed. As a results, it could be concluded that the mixing effects and the distance of the two kinds of mixer were different.

Oxidative coupling of methane(OCM), one of the methods of direct methane conversion, was performed. Metal oxide catalysts used were Li/MgO and Pb/MgO. To investigate the reactivity of the catalysts with temperature, the reaction was carried out at 600, 700 and $800^{\circ}C$; and to investigate the effect of the feed ratio of the reactants($CH_4:O_2$) on reactivity, conversion, and selectivity the reaction was performed at $700^{\circ}C$ with the feed ratio of 2:1 and 1:1. The results indicate that 7wt% Li/MgO catalyst is a good catalyst for OCM reaction with 20% conversion and 65% selectivity at $700^{\circ}C$ with the feed ratio of 2:1. As feed ratio was 1:1, methane conversion was increased to 30% while $C_2$ selectivity decreased to 45% at $700^{\circ}C$ with 7wt% Li/MgO catalyst. The Pb/MgO catalyst showed less selectivity(25%) than Li/MgO did.

Fenton's reagent is applied to directly decompose the ion-exchange resins, IRN-78 and the mixed resin with IRN-77. The newly applied procedures is to dry the resin first and the catalyst solution is completely absorbed into the resin, then a limited dose of $H_2O_2$ is introduced for an effective reaction between the reagents within the resin. As a characteristic on the decomposition of IRN-78, the resin mixture should be heated to $40^{\circ}C$ to induce the initial reaction and lag time is also needed for about 20 minutes until the main reaction occurs. The effectiveness of the decomposition is investigated using $CuSO_4,\;Cu(NO_3)_2\;and\;FeSO_4$ as a catalyst and the decomposition rate is compared depending on the concentration of each catalyst and the amount of $H_2O_2$. The most effective catalyst was found to be $FeSO_4$ for IRN-78 alone and the mixed resin with IRN-77, and $FeSO_4$ showed a special effect that the reaction was initiated without heating and a lag time. Furthermore, the optimum concentration of the catalyst for each resin and the mixed one is suggested in the view point of the amount of $H_2O_2$ needed and the stability of the decomposition reaction.
