The reduction of carbon dioxide emissions becomes a global issue, the main source of carbon dioxide emissions in the Asian region is the energy conversion sector, especially coal-fired power plants. We are working to develop technologies that will at least limit the increase in carbon dioxide emissions from the thermal power plants as one way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Our research aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by removing iron oxide scale from the feedwater system of thermal power plants using a superconducting high-gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) system, thereby reducing the loss of power generation efficiency. In this paper, the background of thermal power plants in Asia is outlined, followed by a case study of the introduction of a chemical cleaning line at an actual thermal power plant in Japan, and the possibility of introducing it into the thermal power plants in China based on the results.

As the major methanol fueled vehicle exhaust components, formaldehyde & methanol conversion over the existing commercial 3-way catalyst was examined in a labolatory tains different Ag loadings on commercial 3-way catalyst, and german commercial catalysts for methanol engine exhaust manufactured by a commercial manufacturer. Silver catalysts were prepared by the wet impregnation of silver nitrate solution on commercial 3-way catalyst. These catalysts were characterized with BET Surface area and pore size distribution. In general, the formaldehyde(HCHO) conversion of the tested catalysts was similar to that of methanol$(CH_3OH)$. At 100$^\circ$C, which is equivalent to the cold start condition, 5wt% Ag cat. showed the most excellent HCHO and $CH_3OH$ conversion. The order of activity for conversion of HCHO & $CH_3OH$ to carbon dioxide and water vapor was as follows ; 5wt% Ag/3-way cat.>2wt% Ag/3-way cat.>german cat. front(1) > german cat. rear(2) > 10wt% Ag/3-way cat.> commercial 3-wat catalyst. However there was no significant activity difference between those tested catalysts in the hot run condition of 400$^\circ$C. Therefore, it could be concluded that the Ag-modified 3-way catalyst was the most effective and practical catalyst system which could be capable of removal the HCHO and methanol at the special condition of low temperature such as cold start condition.

In this study, the syngas producing facility that consists of pulverized coal feeding/gasification and hot gas clean-up system was tested for Indonesian subbituminous coal. And the DME conversion facilities have been developed and tested for converting syngas to DME by reactions with catalysts. So, the entrained-bed slagging type pi lot scale coal gasifier was operated normally in the temperature range of $1,400{\sim}1,450^{\circ}C,\;7{\sim}8kg/cm^2$ pressure. And Roto middle coal produced syngas that has a composition of $36{\sim}38%$ CO, $14{\sim}16%\;H_2,\;and\;5{\sim}8%\;CO_2$. Particulates in syngas were 99.8% removed by metal filters. $H_2S$ composition in syngas was also desulfurized by the Fe chelate system to yield less than 0.1 ppm level. When the clean syngas $70{\sim}100 Nm^3/h$ was provided to DME conversion rector, normally operated in the temperature range of $230{\sim}250^{\circ}C$ and $60kg/cm^2$ pressure, 4.5% DME was yielded.

고분자전해질 연료전지의 MEA를 CCM (Catalyst Coated Membrane) CCS(Catalyst Coated Substrate) 형태로 각각 제조하고 백금담지 비율이 서로 다른 백금 담지촉매를 각각 적응하여 MEA를 CCM형태로 제조하여 단위전지 성능평가를 수행하였다 백금담지 비율이 다른 촉매를 적용한 CCM형태 MEA의 표면을 SEM (scanning electron microscopy)으로 분석하였으며, 단위전지 성능평가를 수행하는 동시에 EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy)를 통하여 MEA의 저항을 분석하였다. 고분자전해질 연료전지의 성능은 MEA의 제조방법과 백금담지 촉매의 백금담지비율에 따라 크게 변함을 확인 할 수 있었다.

In the present study, the focus is on the synthesis of titanium carbide/cobalt composite powder by the spray thermal conversion process using metallic salt solution as the raw materials. Two types of oxide powders of Ti-Co-O system were prepared by the spray drying of two types of metallic salt solutions : titanium chloride-cobalt nitrate and $TiO_2$ powder-cobalt nitrate solutions. These oxide powders were mixed with carbon black, and then these mixtures were carbothermal reduced under a flowing argon atmosphere. The changes in the phase structure and thermal gravity of the mixtures during carbothermal reduction were analysed using XRD and TG-DTA. In the case of using the titanium chloride-cobalt nitrate solution, it could not be obtained TiC/Co composite powder due to contamination of the impurities during the spray drying of the solution. However, in tile case of using the $TiO_2$ powder-cobalt nitrate scullion, TiC-15 wt. %Co composite powder could be synthesized by the spray thermal conversion process. The synthesized TiC-15 wt. %Co composite powder at 120$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours has average particle size of 150 nm.

It has been stand high in estimation to converse from Carbon dioxide to Dimethyl Ether in new alternative fuel energy division in 21C, especially Using of DME in point of view of transportation fuel has been discussed of a new clean energy which is very lower of exhaust gas than gasoline and diesel energy. In this paper it is used ZSM-5 and I developed new catalyst by addition of cerium to control acidity. The new catalyst was proved high conversion rate, when it was conversed from methanol to DME, there wasn't any additional material except DME and water, and I overlooked reaction temperature, reaction time, amount of catalyst, amount of added cerium, effect of water content in methanol, reaction temperature by making change of reaction time. I have conclude that conversion rate to DME was increased as increased of catalyst amounts. The best catalyst condition of without additional product was treated poisoning from ZSM-5 to 5% cerium and new catalyst was not effected in purity of fuel methanol.

This paper examined the conversion of methane to hydrogen and other higher hydrocarbons using dielectric barrier discharge with AC pulse power. Two metal electrodes of a coaxial-type plasma reactor were separated by gas gap and an alumina tube. The inner electrode was located inside the alumina tube. The alumina tube was located inside the stainless steel tube, which was used as the outer electrode. Effect of feed gas composition (methane, oxygen, argon, water and helium), flow rate, applied frequency, input volt-age on methane conversion and product distribution were studied. The major products of plasma chemical reactions were ethylene, ethane, propane, buthane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The increment of applied voltage and the usage of inert gas as the background (helium and argon) enhanced the selectivity of hydrocarbons and methane conversion. The addition of water in the feed stream enhanced the conversion of methane and yield of hydrogen. Higher voltage leads to higher yield of $C_2H_6,\;C_3H_8,\;C_4H_{10}$ and yield or $C_2H_2\;and\;C_2H_4$ appeared highly in lower voltage.

The production of pullulan by Aureobasidium pullulans HP-2001 was investigated under various ratios of glucose as carbon source and yeast extract as the nitrogen source, Highest conversion rate (productivity) of glucose to pullulan was 40.0% when concentrations of glucose and yeast extract were 5% and 0.15%, respectively. Maximal production of pullulan was 29.3g/1 when the concentration of glucose was 8%(w/v) and that of yeast extract was 40:1. On basis of the result that production of pullulan was found in a medium which concentration of glucose as carbon source was up to 20%(w/v), Aureobasidium pullulans HP-2001 seemed to overcome the catabolite repression. Conversion rate of pullulan from 20%(w/v) of glucose was 11.1%.
