유전체 장벽 방전 반응기에서 규칙적인 메조기공 갖는 촉매를 사용하여 플라즈마 에너지를 이용한 메탄의 직접전환반응 연구를 수행하였다. 촉매는 MgO/OMA (ordered mesoporous alumina), $MgO/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$와 $MgO/{\alpha}-Al_2O_3$를 사용하여 반응하였다. Pulse 고전압을 이용한 플라즈마 반응기에서 촉매 MgO/OMA를 사용하였을 때 $C_2$ 화합물의 선택도는 67%로 최고의 성능을 나타내었다. 금속산화물 종류, 규칙적인 메조기공 구조, 알루미나의 상변화 그리고 전원공급방식에 따른 효과를 고려하여 반응기 성능 및 생성물 분포를 비교하였다. BET (Brunauer, Emmett, Teller), X 선 회절, 주사전자현미경, 열 무게 분석으로 촉매의 반응 전후의 특성을 분석하였다.

This paper presents an application study of a model predictive control based commercial package PCTP to real chemical processes. The first case study concerns a product purity control of a splitter process which distillates styrene from undesired component ethyl-benzene produced from ethyl-benzene dehydrogenation reaction. The second case study is about a temperature control of ethyl-benzene dehydrogenation reactor and an excess oxygen control of the fired heater. Optimum control structure for MPC application is developed for each case study. The application results show a significant improvement in control performance and stability.

In this study, the dependency of the behavior of propagating front on the reaction condition in frontal polymerization reaction has been studied. We have used some multifunctional acrylates as a monomer and ammonium persulfate as an initiator for the polymerization reactions. In frontal polymerization, a method of producing polymeric materials via a thermal front that propagates through the unreacted monomer/initiator solution, the behavior of self propagating front shows various dynamic patterns depending on the reaction condition. We have obtained some spin modes of propagating front in the number of 'hot spots' or 'spin heads' by changing the reaction condition. The effect of the reactor tube diameter on the mode of propagating front has also been studied by using some reactor tubes with different size of tube diameter and it has been examined in some detail by adopting an experimental method of two-tubes system.

In this paper, a numerical method for singular perturbation problems arising in chemical reactor theory for general singularly perturbed two point boundary value problems with boundary layer at one end(left or right) of the underlying interval is presented. The original second order differential equation is replaced by an approximate first order differential equation with a small deviating argument. By using the trapezoidal formula we obtain a three term recurrence relation, which is solved using Thomas Algorithm. To demonstrate the applicability of the method, we have solved four linear (two left and two right end boundary layer) and one nonlinear problems. From the results, it is observed that the present method approximates the exact or the asymptotic expansion solution very well.

The effects of acrylonitrile and acrylamide on the enzyme action of nitrile hydratase of Brevibacterium sp. CH1 and CH2 strains used for the biotransformations of nitriles were studied. The excessive substrate (acrylonitrile) and product (acrylamide) inhibited the enzyme activity competitively. In comparison with 0.2 mol/l of CH1 strain, the substrate inhibition of CH2 strain began to appear only at a high acrylonitrile concentration of 0.91 mol/l. In a packed bed reactor, dispersed plug flow model was proposed and this model was proved to be valid by the experiment. Also acrylamide productivity decreased sharply when acrylamide concentration in the substrate solution exceeded 20％ (wt/v).

Thermal decomposition of the copolymer of butyl methacylate(BMA) with styrene(St) was investigated. The copolymer Was obtained at 80 $^{\circ}C$ in a continuous stirred tank reactor(CSTR) using toluene and benzoyl peroxide(BPO), as solvent and initiator, respectively. The reactor volume was 0.3 liters and residence time was 3 hours. The thermal decomposition followed the second order kinetics for BMA/St copolymer. The activation energies of thermal decompositon were in the ranges of 38 ${\sim}43$ kcal/mol for BMA with St copolymer and a good additivity rule was observed with the composition of copolymer. The thermogravimetric trace curve agreed well with the theoretical calculation.

Epitaxial Si layers were deposited on n- or p-type Si(100) substrates by hot-wall chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique using the {{{{ {SiH }_{ 2} {Cl }_{2 } - {H }_{ 2} }}}}chemistry. Thermodynamic calculations if the Si-H-Cl system were carried out to predict the window of actual Si deposition procedd and to investigate the effects of process variables(i.e., the deposition temperature, the reactor pressure, and the source gas molar ratios) on the growth of epitaxial layers. The calculated optimum process conditions were applied to the actual growth runs, and the results were in good agreement with the calculation. The expermentally determined optimum process conditions were found to be the deposition temperature between 900 and 9$25^{\circ}C$, the reactor pressure between 2 and 5 Torr, and source gad molar ration({{{{ {H }_{2 }/ {SiH }_{ 2} {Cl }_{2 } }}}}) between 30 and 70, achieving high-quality epitaxial layers.

Bubble column reactors are considered the reactor of choice for numerous applications including oxidation, hydrogenation, waste water treatment, and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis. They are widely used in a variety of industrial applications for carrying out gas-liquid and gas-liquid-solid reactions. In this paper, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is used for predicting the gas holdup and its distribution along radial and axial direction are presented. Gas holdup increases linearly with increase in gas velocity. Gas bubbles tends to concentrate more towards the center of the column and follows a wavy path.

pH controlled batch reactor and bubble column reactors have been developed in this research. They were used to produce high concentration of GABA and to determine optimal pH for GABA production. Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) was isolated from recombinant E. coli and used for GABA production from monosodium glutamate (MSG). pH control was inevitable because the pH increased with MSG consumption. GAD showed highest activity at acidic conditions at pH 5.5 but the optimal pH for GABA production was pH 6.0. When 1.5 mole of MSG was used as reactant, the 1.05 mole of GABA was produced after 10 hrs batch reaction. Using bubble column reactors, 80 % of MSG was converted to GABA for 6 hrs reaction and 1.2 mole of GABA was produced.

Dynamic optimization with partially structured model in a slurry-phase HDPE reactor is implemented by the modified hierarchical dynamic optimization. Optimal trajectories of MI and density of HDPE are calculated as controlled variables and optimal profiles of the concentrations of ethylene, hydrogen and comonomer are calculated as manipulated variables in dynamic optimization. MI, density, the concentrations of ethylene, hydrogen and comonomer are used as controlled variables and flow rates of ethylene, hydrogen and comonomer are sued as manipulated variables in control implementation. Two-level hierarchical method is applied in dynamic optimization to reduce computation time. In the upper level formulation ...
