Copper nanoparticle-doped and graphitic carbon nanofibers-covered porous carbon beads were used as an efficient catalyst for treating synthetic phenolic water by catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) in a packed bed reactor over 10-30 bar and $180-230^{\circ}C$, with air and water flowing co-currently. A mathematical model based on reaction kinetics assuming degradation in both heterogeneous and homogeneous phases was developed to predict reduction in chemical oxygen demand (COD) under a continuous operation with recycle. The catalyst and process also showed complete COD reduction (>99%) without leaching of Cu against a high COD (~120,000 mg/L) containing industrial wastewater.

CO 산화반응의 촉매로 사용되는 페로브스카이트 금속산화물인 $Gd_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_{3-y}$ (x = 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75) 계의 촉매효과를 조사하기 위하여 광음향 분광법을 사용하였다. 산화반응으로부터 생성된 $CO_2$의 광음향신호를 $Gd_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_{3-y}$에서 각각의 x값에 대하여 반응시간, 반응기체인 CO와 $O_2$의 농도비, 그리고 온도에 따라 측정함으로써 CO 산화반응의 $Gd_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_{3-y}$ 촉매 특성에 대한 정보를 얻었다. Gd1-xSrxCoO3-y에서 Gd가 Sr로 치환됨에 따른 촉매효과는 x=0.25일 때 최대로 나타났으며 반응 온도에 대하여는 200$^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 급격히 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. $CO_2$ 레이저 광음향분광법은 반응에 대한 연속적인 측정을 가능케 함으로써 CO 산화반응의 촉매효과 연구뿐만 아니라 일반적인 반응속도 연구에도 응용할 수 있는 방법임이 확인되었다.

Most of organic compounds discharged from industrial wastewater are treated by chemical oxidation, adsorption and biodegradable process. This process has been demanded a new advanced environmental wastewater treatment process. From this point of view, an electrochemical oxidation process using electrocatalysts has been developed for the destruction of organic compounds. Through this study, a ruthenium oxide/iridium oxide supported on titanium expanded metal was fabricated by thermal decomposition method and its performance was excellent during this experiment.

The copper oxide nano powders were synthesized by levitational gas condensation(LGC) method, and their high heterogeneous catalytic effects of oxidation of 2,3,5-trimethyl-1,4- hydroquinone (TMHQ) and catalase activity were studied. The observation of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows that most of these nano powders are uniform in size, with the average particle size of 35 nm. The nano powder consists of mainly $Cu_2O$, but it is aged to CuO phase. The catalytic effect which was clarified by oxidation of TMHQ and catalase depends on the amount of cuprite phase and the particle size.

To remove nitrogen oxides(NOx) in exhaust gas of diesel engine, three-way catalytic process with plasma discharger has great possibilities. Characteristics of NOx removal depends on NO conversion to NO$_2$and/or HNO$_3$due to high activation energies for NO oxidation and reduction. NOx removal efficiency by using three-way catalytic with plasma discharger indicated about 50% at 40watt power consumption condition.

Rare-earth manganites have a great potential for environmental applications based on their chemical and physical properties. The use of rare-earth manganites as catalysts for environmentally essential reactions was reviewed. Artificial neural networks were used to assess the catalytic activity in oxidation reactions. Relative catalytic activities of the catalysts were further discussed. We concluded that cerium manganite is the most practicable catalyst for technological purposes.

Catalytic combustion known as one of the traditional oxidation methods of VOC gas is restricted to its applicable fields because of its reaction characteristics. But recently innovative improvement of catalytic endurance makes its applicable range broader from MEMs to industrial power generation. Therefore, control technologies based on the catalytic combustion characteristics are researched and developed dynamically. Especially, the stable control of catalytic combustion is an essential factor in a view of maximizing its efficiency. In this research, the fuel equivalence ratio and the preheating temperature of mixture gas is controlled by catalytic combustion system enhanced in heat transfer with high temperature heat exchanger. As a result the combustion characteristics of system was investigated, and both passive and active control type were compared and analyzed.

Compared to conventional flame combustion, catalytic combustion had the advantage of oxidation of V.O.C. gas which was high voluminous, low caloric mixture flow. However, the temperature of mixture gas should be over the one of catalytic reaction start and the control of reaction on the catalytic surface tends to be vulnerable. To overcome these obstacles, composition of both catalytic combustor and heat exchanger was devised and named the sequential catalytic combustion system. In this system, only trigger unit needed preheating process for transient starting time. Once trigger unit was ignited, the next unit w3s supplied heat to ignite from that and same process was performed to the last one sequentially. When it come to steady state, whole mixture gas was oxidated at each unit simultaneously and preheating for trigger unit was not needed any more. System of 100 kcalh/hr capacity was devised and operated successfully.

We sdudied effect of additives on catalytic activity in thermal catalytic de-NOx process which was composed of thermal reduction, catalytic reduction and catalytic oxidation stage. Pd-Pt/${\gamma}$-$Al_2O_3$ catalysts with the addition of transition metals(Co, Cu, Fe, Ni, W, Zn, Zr) and rare earth metals(Ce, Sr) were prepared by the conventional washcoating method. Those catalysts were characterized by CO pulse chemisorption, ICP, $N_2$ adsorption, SEM and XRD. The effect of catalyst additives on NOx removal for diesel emission was studied in thermal catalytic de-NOx process at reduction temperature(350~50$0^{\circ}C$), space velocity(5,000~20,000 $hr^{-1}$) and the engine load(0~120kW). The concentraton of CO, $CO_2$, NO and $NO_2$ in the exhaust gas increased with the engine load. On the other hand the concentration of $O_2$ decreased. The de-NOx activityof all prepared catalysts increased with respect to high CO and low $O_2$ level in the thermal reduction stage of the process. Insertion of Ce to Pt-Pd/${\gamma}$-$Al_2O_3$ catalyst showed the best activity of all the catalysts under these experimental conditions. De-NOx catalysts are effective to remove CO in addition to NOx in the catalytic reduction stage.

알루미나에 담지한 $CrO_x$ 촉매를 이용하여 $200{\sim}400^{\circ}C$의 온도 구간에서 공기 중 vinyl chloride의 산화반응을 조사하였다. 탄소를 포함하는 주생성물은 CO 및 $CO_2$로, 온도의 증가에 따라 $CO_2$의 선택도는 증가하고 CO는 감소하였다. 이로부터 $CrO_x$ 촉매상에서 vinyl chloride는 먼저 CO로 일차산화 후 다시 $CO_2$로 완전산화됨을 알 수 있었다. 반응물에 HCl을 첨가하였을 때 vinyl chloride의 전환율은 변화가 없었으나 $CO_2$의 선택도는 감소하였는데 이는 주반응생성물인 HCl이 vinyl chloride의 $CO_2$로 완전산화를 방해함을 의미한다. 반응물에 물이 없는 조건하에서 vinyl chloride를 산화시킬 때 상당량의 $Cl_2$가 생성되었으나 물을 첨가 시 $Cl_2$는 검출되지 않았다. Vinyl chloride의 촉매산화반응에 대한 $CrO_x$ 담지촉매와 몇가지 귀금속 및 다른 전이 금속 산화물의 활성을 비교하였는데 $CrO_x$ 담지촉매의 vinyl chloride 분해활성은 1% Pt 담지촉매를 제외한 다른 촉매에 비해 높았으며, $275^{\circ}C$에서 12% $CrO_x/Al_2O_3$의 반응속도를 기준으로 각 촉매의 활성을 비교시 1% $Pt/Al_2O_3$ 보다 1.2배정도 활성이 떨어지나 다른 촉매에 비하여 각각 3배에서 8배 가량 높은 활성을 나타내었다.
