$N_2O$는 주요 온실가스 성분의 하나로서 광화학 스모그의 유발, 산성비의 전구체 등 온실효과에 상당한 기여를 하고 있는 물질이다. 이러한 $N_2O$ 및 질소산화물을 제거하기 위하여 환원제를 이용한 Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) 반응 공정이 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Hydrotalcite 형태의 전구체로부터 Mixed Metal Oxide 촉매를 제조하고 그를 사용하여 $N_2O$ 분해를 위한 메탄 SCR 반응 및 CO의 생성효과를 비교 연구하였다. 실험결과 $CH_4$ 환원제의 첨가는 $N_2O$의 분해 반응에 긍정적인 영향을 미치며, 최적화된 $O_2/CH_4$ 비율의 조건에서 메탄의 부분산화에 의한 SCR 반응이 가장 높은 효율을 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

$TiO_2$의 가장 큰 특징은 광촉매적 특성을 들 수 있으나 순수한 $TiO_2$는 자외선 영역에서만 활성을 보이는 단점이 있다. 단점을 보완하고자 본 연구에서는 초고온, 고활성을 이용한 열플라즈마 공정으로 질소가 도핑된 $TiO_2$를 합성하여 $TiO_2$의 광촉매적 특성을 높이고자 하였다. 직류 플라즈마 제트를 이용하여 비금속이온인 질소와 반응 가스인 산소를 $TiCl_4$와 함께 플라즈마 반응기 안에서 반응시켜 질소가 도핑된 $TiO_2$ 나노 분말을 합성하였다. 합성 조건으로 질소의 유량을 변화하였다. 합성 변수에 따른 입자의 상조성, 크기를 분석하였고 아세트알데히드와 곰팡이를 광분해하는 실험을 통해 광촉매 활성을 살펴보았다. 한편 $TiO_2$의 분말 상태와 코팅된 상태의 광촉매 특성을 비교하고자 합성한 분말의 스핀 코팅과 PLD (Pulsed Laser Deposition)을 통해 $TiO_2$를 코팅하였다. 아세트알데히드 분해 실험의 결과 질소가 도핑된 $TiO_2$ 분말의 경우가 순수한 $TiO_2$ 분말에 비해 가시영역에서의 광촉매 활성이 두 배 이상 뛰어난 것을 확인하였으며, 곰팡이 분해 실험 결과 역시 질소가 도핑된 $TiO_2$ 분말에 곰팡이가 분해되는 것을 확인하였다. 분말과 필름을 제조하여 메틸렌블루 광분해 실험한 결과 분말의 경우 100% $TiO_2$입자가 메틸렌블루 분해에 이용되며, 반면 스핀 코팅의 경우 바인더의 함량 때문에 20~30%의 $TiO_2$만이 분해에 이용되기 때문에, 분말의 경우 초기 30 mL 메틸렌블루를 한번에 분해할 수 있었다.

오존/활성탄 공정을 이용하여 페놀을 처리 할 경우, 활성탄에 의해 나타나는 촉매효과에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 오존 단독공정에 활성탄을 추가할 경우, 활성탄 투입량이 증가할수록 용존 오존 및 페놀의 분해효율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 활성탄에 의해서 용존 오존이 분해되어 생성된 수산화 라디칼이 페놀 제거에 영향을 미쳤으며, 본 연구에서는 활성탄의 촉매효과([$\Delta$phenol] / $[{\Delta}O_{3}]_{AC}$)로 나타내었다. 활성탄 10~40 g/L 투입 시, 모든 활성탄의 최대 촉매효과 값은 $2.0\;{\pm}\;0.1$로 나타났지만, 10 g/L와 20 g/L를 투입한 경우, 40 min 경과 후 최대 촉매효과에 근접한 반면, 활성탄 30 g/L와 40 g/L를 투입한 경우, 반응 20 min 경과 후 최대 촉매효과에 도달하였다. 또한 Total Organic Carbon (TOC, 총유기탄소)의 제거율은 오존 단독공정에서 0.23으로 나타났으며, 오존/활성탄 공정에서는 0.63으로 나타났다.

High purity carbon nano fibers/tubes (CNF/Ts) which contain 97% pure graphitic carbon are prepared by a new catalytic method. These carbon nano fibers/tubes are ready to use without any further purification. The striking feature of this method is the production of carbon nano fibers/tubes of narrow distribution range. The developed catalytic method also produces pure hydrogen. An additional advantage of this catalytic method is that catalyst can be reused without reactivation. Ni:Cu catalyst system is embodied into SCHOTT-DURAN filter disc of large pore size (40-100 mm). Due to the production of hydrogen in the reaction catalyst stability is enhanced and deactivation process is considerably slowed down.

Graphene (G) has been modified with palladium, copper, and manganese oxide nanoparticles (NPs), and their catalytic applications have been studied in C-C coupling reactions and methylmercaptan (CH3SH) decomposition reactions. In this research, graphite oxide (GO) sheets were exfoliated and oxidized from graphite powder and impregnated with metal precursors including Pd2+, Cu2+, and Mn2+. The thermal treatments of the metal impregnated GO in preferred gas environments produced Pd NPs on graphene (Pd/G), PdO NPs on GO (PdO/GO), and CuOx and MnOx NPs on graphene (CuOx/MnOx/G). In case of Pd/G and PdO/GO, the TEM images show that, although the mean size of the Pd NPs changed significantly before and after the C-C coupling reaction, that of the PdO NPs didn't, implying that the PdO/GO was superior to Pd/G in terms of the recyclability. Also, we demonstrate that the CuOx/MnOx/G exerts the excellent catalytic efficiency in CH3SH decomposition reaction comparing with conventional catalysts. The chemical and electronic structural changes were investigated using XRD and XPS.

The thermocatalytic decomposition of methane is an environmentally attractive approach to $CO_2$-free production of hydrogen. The fluidized bed was proposed for the continuous withdraw of product carbon from the reactor. The usage of carbon black was reported as stable catalyst for decomposition of methane. Therfore, carbon black (DCC-N330) is used as catalyst. A fluidized bed reactor made of quartz with 0.055 m I.D. and 1.0 m in height was selected for the thermo-catalytic decomposition. The porpane-containg methnae decomposition reaction was operated at the temperature range of 850-900 $^{\circ}C$ methane gas velocity of 1.0 $U_{mf}$ and the operating pressure of 1.0 atm. In this work, propane was added as reactant to make methane conversion higher. Therefore we compared with methane conversion and pre-experiment methane conversion that using only methane as reactant. The carbon black, after experiment, was measured in particle size and surface area and analyzed surface of the carbon black by TEM.

HI decomposition step certainly demand catalytic reaction for efficient production of hydrogen in SI process. Platinum catalyst can apply to HI decomposition reaction as well as hydrogenation or dehydrogenation. Generally, noble metal is used as catalyst which is loaded form for getting high dispersion and wide active area. In this study, Pt was loaded onto zirconia, ceria, alumina, and silica by impregnation method. HI decomposition reaction was carried out under the condition of $450^{\circ}C$, 1atm, and $167.76h^{-1}$ (WHSV) in a fixed bed reactor for measuring catalytic activity. And property of a catalyst was observed by BET, TEM, XRD and chemisoption analysis. On the basis of experimental results, we discussed about conversion of HI according to physical properties of the loaded Pt catalyst onto each support.

Catalytic oxidation of benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX) using regenerated metal oxide catalysts (ZnO-CuO, NiO, $Fe_2O_3$, ZnO, CrO) were investigated in a fixed bed flow reactor to evaluate their feasibility for the purpose of removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Four kinds of pre-treatment methods such as gas (air and hydrogen), acid aqueous solution, alkali aqueous solution and cleaning agent were used to find out the optimal regeneration conditions. The physico-chemical properties of the used and regenerated catalysts were characterized by BET and TPR (Temperature Programmed Reduction). The used catalysts showed high conversion ratio and the catalytic ability of toluene oxidation was in the order of ZnO-CuO>$Fe_2O_3$>NiO>ZnO>CrO. We found that the acid aqueous pre-treatment (0.1 N HNO$_3$) was the best way to enhance the catalytic activity of $Fe_2O_3$. In addition, air and hydrogen gas treatment were optimal for NiO and ZnO-CuO catalysts, respectively. Furthermore, the decomposition of BTX depends on the type of a catalyst and a gas molecule.

Catalytic ozonation of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) has been examined over mesoporous MnO_x/Al₂O₃ (MA) catalysts developed by a solvent deficient method using two different manganese precursors including manganese chloride (C) and manganese sulfate (S) at room temperature. The maximum catalytic activities of MA with C (MEK removal efficiency and ozone decomposition of 98.4 and 93.7%, respectively) were higher than those of MA with S (MEK removal efficiency and ozone decomposition of 96 and 68%, respectively). Also the catalytic stability of MA with C was much higher than that of MA with S. The physico-chemical properties of catalysts are well correlated with the activity results, which confirmed that fine dispersion of MnO_x species with high ratios of Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ and more acid sites are attributed to the higher catalyst stability for the MA-C catalyst.
