Chemical heat pump is a system to upgrade the low level energy such as industrial waste heat and solar energy by using coupled endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions. Dehydrogenation of 2-propanol can absorb heat near 80.deg. C and is transformed into acetone and hydrogen. Hydrogenation of acetone can liberate heat near 200.deg. C. Dehydrogenation of 2-propanol is difficult around 80.deg. C because .DELTA.G has positive value, but dehydrogenation reaction in liquid phase can overcome this problem because vaporized acetone and hydrogen can be rapidly eliminated. In this work, dehydrogenation of 2-propanol was investigated in liquid phase with Raney nickel catalyst. The energy efficiency of the chemical heat pump was estimated by computer simulation.

Chemical heat pump is one of the energy conversion technologies, which enables to use waste heat as a source of high grade heat. In 2-propanol/acetone system, the dehydrogenation of 2-propanol is an endothermic(heat absorption) reaction, and can be used to generate hydrogen because 2-propanol can be converted to acetone and hydrogen at low temperature(about $8^{\circ}C$) using catalyst. For the dehydrogenation of 2-propanol 5% Ru catalyst based on activated carbon is the best one at the reaction temparature of $83^{\circ}C$.

2-propanol/acetone/hydrogen 계 화학반응 열펌프 시스템은 발전소의 폐열 등을 이용하기 위한 가장 적합한 반응계로 알려져 있다. 솔-젤법을 이용하여 2-propanol 탈수소화 반응용 5 wt% Pt-alumina 촉매를 다양한 형태로 제조하여 각각의 특성을 알아보았고 각각의 반응성을 비교하였다. Pt-alumina xerogel 촉매는 기존의 담지촉매보다 우수한 반응성을 보였으며 또한 지속성도 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, Pt-alumina aerogel 촉매가 반응속도 면에서 가장 우수한 결과를 보였다. Aerogel 촉매의 지속성을 유지시키기 위해서는 충분한 시간의 숙성과정이 필요한 것으로 나타났으며 이 과정을 통해서 높은 반응성은 물론 안정적인 지속성도 얻을 수 있었다. Pt-alumina aerogel 촉매의 가장 큰 특징은 높은 반응성은 물론, 일반적으로 반응전에 필수적으로 거쳐야하는 고온의 열처리가 전혀 필요 없다는 것으로서 이는 경제적으로 큰 이점을 가진다. 또한 alumina xerogel에 초기함침법으로 Pt를 담지시킨 촉매는 기계적 강도 및 반응성 면에서 우수한 성능을 보였으며 이를 통하여 alumina xerogel은 금속촉매의 지지체로서도 이용할 수 있다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

Powders of artificial crystallites of titanium(IV) oxide, TiO$_2$(B), were synthesized by the calcination of tetratitanic acid (hydrate, $H_2Ti_4O_9H_2O$; TTA). The relating titanates, potassium octatitanate ($K_2Ti_8O_{17}$) and octatitanic acid($H_2Ti_8O_{17}$), were also prepared. These powders, loaded with small amount of Pt, were suspended in an aqueous solution of 2-propanol and irradiated under argon atmosphere at 298 K + 0.5 deg. All the photocatalysts tested in this study produced almost equimolar amount of acetone and molecular hydrogen (H$_2$). Among them TiO$_2$(B) and TYA showed the higher photocatalytic activity but rather lower than commercial titanium(IV) oxide (TiO$_2$) powders. The photocatalytic activity of TiO$_2$(B) for 2-propanol dehydrogenation in deaerated aqueous suspension increased with the elevating calcination temperature. Comparison of rate of H$_2$ formation from methanol and 2-propanol solutions by the TiO$_2$(B) photocatalyst suggested a possibility of selection of substrate with its molecular size by TiO$_2$(B)
