천연가스를 화학적 전환에 의해 부가가치를 높이기 위해서는 리포밍에 의해 합성가스(CO/H2)를 경유하는 간접전환경로가 현재로서는 가장 현실적인 방법이라 할 수 있다. 천연가스를 이용한 합성가스 제조기술은 수증기개질법(SRM), 이산화탄소 개질법(CDR, dry reforming), 부분산화법, 촉매 부분 산화법, 자열개질법 등으로 구분되며, 최근에는 각각의 제조방법의 장점을 고려하여 혼합개질법 또는 일련의 리포머 조합 방법이 개발되고 있다. CDR은 촉매 하에서 메탄과 이산화탄소의 직접접촉에 의해 반응이 일어나며, 수소와 일산화탄소의 비가 같은 합성가스가 제조된다. SRM에 비하여 고온에서 반응이 일어나고 전환율이 더 낮으므로 에너지 소비가 상대적으로 높다. 하지만, SRM과 함께 사용하면 합성가스 비율을 F-T합성이나 메탄올 합성에 적절한 비율로 조절이 가능한 장점이 있으며, 온실가스를 저감시킬 수 있는 전환기술로도 각광받고 있다. 본 발표에서는 최근의 CDR을 이용한 가스로부터 합성석유(GTL)와 메탄올을 고효율로 생산하는 기술 개발 동향에 대해서 소개하고자 한다.

$N_2O$ decomposition characteristics of dual bed mixed metal oxide catalytic system was investigated. The partial oxidation of methane at first reactor of dual bed catalytic system was performed over Co-Rh-Al (1/0.2/1) catalyst under the optimized condition of $8,000h^{-1}$ GHSV, gas ratio ($CH_4:O_2=5:1$) at $500^{\circ}C$. In the dual bed system investigated herein, the second catalyst bed was employed for the $N_2O$ decomposition using product of partial oxidation of methane at first bed. An excellent $N_2O$ conversion activity even at lower temperature ($<250^{\circ}C$) was obtained with Co-Rh-Al (1/0.2/1) or Co-Rh-Zr-Al (1/0.2/0.3/1) catalyst by combining Co-Rh-Al (1/0.2/1) hydrotalcite catalyst for the partial oxidation of methane in a dual-bed system. The $N_2O$ conversion activity is drastically reduced in the presence of oxygen in second bed of a dual-bed system over Co-Rh-Al (1/0.2/1) catalyst at $300^{\circ}C$.

This study was aimed to develop catalytic system for the dry-based reduction of oxidized mercury ($Hg^{2+}$) to elemental mercury ($Hg^0$) which is one of the most important components comprising mercury continuous emission monitoring system (Hg-CEMS). Based on the standard potential in oxidation-reduction reaction, transition metals including Fe, Cu, Ni and Co were selected as possible candidates for catalyst proceeding spontaneous reduction of $Hg^{2+}$ into $Hg^0$. These transition metal catalysts revealed high activity for reduction of $Hg^{2+}$ into $Hg^0$ in the absence of oxygen in reactant gases. However, their activities were greatly decreased in the presence of oxygen, which was attributed to the transformation of transition metals by oxygen to the corresponding transition metal oxides with less catalytic activity for the reduction of oxidized mercury. Hydrogen supplied to the reactant gases significantly enhanced $Hg^{2+}$ reduction activity even in the presence of oxygen. It might be due to occurrence of combustion reaction between $H_2$ and $O_2$ causing the consumption of $O_2$ at such high reaction temperature at which oxidized mercury reduction reaction took place. Because the system showed high activity for $Hg^{2+}$ reduction to $Hg^0$, which was compatible to that of wet-chemistry technology using $SnCl_2$ solution, the catalytic reduction system of Fe catalyst with the supply of $H_2$ could be employed as a commercial system for the reduction of oxidized mercury to elemental mercury.

본 연구에서는 글리세롤과 우레아를 이용하여 글리세롤카보네이트를 합성하는 반응을 진행하였다. ZnO와 Zn-Al 이원계 금속 산화물 촉매를 제조하고, 제조되어진 촉매를 사용하여 글리세롤의 전환율과 글리세롤카보네이트의 수율을 확인하였고, Al의 첨가에 따른 촉매 특성의 분석과 글리세롤카보네이트 합성반응에서의 역할에 대해 확인하였다. 글리세롤카보네이트 합성 반응에서 ZnO를 단독으로 촉매를 사용한 경우보다 Zn-Al 혼합 산화물을 촉매로 사용하여 반응하였을 때, 부반응이 억제되어 전환율 및 수율이 증가함을 확인하였다.

In this study, the effects of the structural properties of the catalyst on CO oxidation reaction by controlling the $Cu/CeO_2$ catalyst amount and calcination temperature were studied, and also the CO conversion rate of the catalyst at the temperature range of $100{\sim}300^{\circ}C$ was evaluated. XRD, Raman, BET, $H_2-TPR$, and XPS analyses were performed to confirm the effect of changes in the structural properties on the chemical properties of the catalyst. The result confirmed that a substitution bond between Cu and Ce was formed and a lot of Cu and Ce bonds were formed when the catalyst carrying 5 wt.%. Of Cu was calcined at $400^{\circ}C$. The Cu-Ce binding was confirmed by peak shifts in Raman analysis and also peaks appeared in $H_2-TPR$. In addition, the balance state analysis demonstrated that a lot of surface labile oxygen molecules are formed, which can be more easily contributed to the reaction with $Ce^{3+}$ species known to form a substitution bond easily. It was found that CO conversion rate of the catalyst used in this study was close to 100% at $150^{\circ}C$.

The partial oxidation of methane is one of important processes for hydrogen production. As a membrane reactor, palladium-silver (Pd-Ag) alloy membrane prepared by electroless plating technique was employed for partial oxidation of methane. The experimental variables were reaction temperature, $O_2/CH_4$ mole ratio, $CH_4$ feed rate, and $N_2$ sweep gas flow rate. The methane conversions increased with the reaction temperatures in the range of 350 to $730^{\circ}C$. The highest methane conversion and CO selectivity were obtained at the condition of $O_2/CH_4$ mole ratio of 0.5 and $730^{\circ}C$ using commercially available nickel/alumina catalyst. The Pd-Ag membrane reactor showed higher methane conversions, 10~40% higher, compared to those in a traditional reactor.

The char oxidation characteristics of ashless coal with a relatively low ash content and high heating value were experimentally investigated at several temperatures (from $900^{\circ}C$ to $1300^{\circ}C$), in various oxygen concentrations (from 10% to 30%) under atmospheric pressure in a drop tube furnace. The char reaction rate was calculated from the exhaust gas concentrations (CO, $CO_2$) measured by FT-IR, and the particle temperature was measured by the two-color method. In addition, the activation energy and pre-exponential factor of ashless coal char were also calculated based on the Arrhenius equation. The results show that higher temperature and oxygen concentration result in a higher reaction rate of ashless coal, and the activation energy of ashless coal char is similar to that of bituminous coal.

The electrochemical corrosion and passivation of Co-RDE in borate buffer solution was studied by Potentiodynamic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The mechanisms of both the active dissolution and passivation of cobalt and the hydrogen evolution in reduction reaction were hypothetically established while utilizing the Tafel slope, the rotation speed of Co-RDE, impedance data and the pH dependence of corrosion potential. Based on the EIS data, an equivalent circuit was suggested. In addition, the electrochemical parameters for specific anodic dissolution regions were carefully measured. An induction loop in Nyquist plot measured at the open-circuit potential was observed in the low frequency, and this could be attributed to the adsorption-desorption behavior in the corrosion process.

구조용 합금 중 가장 우수한 비강도를 나타내는 마그네슘 및 마그네슘 합금은 최근 자동차, 항공, 기계 및 전자산업 등 다양한 산업분야에서 이용되고 있다. 하지만 마그네슘 합금은 반응성이 매우 커서 쉽게 부식되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 최근 내식성 향상을 위한 표면처리 기술에 대한 연구의 필요성이 증대되고 있으며, 그 중 플라즈마 전해산화법(Plasma electrolytic oxidation)은 양극산화반응을 이용하여 고내식성, 고경도의 산화피막을 금속 표면에 형성시키는 방법으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄산이온이 포함된 수용액에서 수산화나트륨의 농도가 AZ31 마그네슘 합금의 플라즈마전해산화 피막형성에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 다양한 농도의 수산화나트륨 용액에서 DC 전류를 인가하여 플라즈마전해산화 피막을 형성하였다. 탄산 이온이 포함된 수용액에서 수산화나트륨의 농도가 높아질수록 플라즈마 전해산화 피막의 형성전압은 낮아지며, 초기 피막 형성전압 상승 속도 또한 빠르게 증가하며 피막 형성전압 등락의 폭은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.
