Hydrogen gas is used as a fuel for the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Trace amount of carbon monoxide present in the reformate $H_2$ gas can poison the anode of the PEMFC. Therefore, preferential oxidation (PROX) of CO is essential for reducing the concentration of CO from a hydrogen-rich reformate gas. In this study, conventional Pt/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst was prepared for the preferential oxidation of CO. The effects of catalyst preparation method, additive, and hydrogen on the performances of PROX reaction of CO were investigated. Water treatment and addition of Ce enhanced catalytic activity of the Pt/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst at low temperature below $100^{\circ}C$.

미활용 저급자원인 석유코크스를 대상으로 고순도의 수소 생산을 위한 수성가스전이반응에 적용가능성을 확인하기 위하여 Cu/ZnO/MgO/Al₂O₃ (CZMA) 촉매를 공침법을 사용하여 제조하였다. 제조된 촉매는 BET, H₂-TPR을 사용하여 분석되었다. 촉매의 반응성 테스트는 고농도의 CO를 포함하는 합성가스로부터 단일 Low Temperature Shift 반응을 거치는 경우와 High Temperature Shift 반응을 거친 후 스팀의 응축 없이 즉시 LTS 반응을 거치는 두 가지의 경우를 비교 및 분석하였다. 두 조건에서 steam/CO 비, 유량 및 유속, 온도에 따른 반응특성을 확인하였다. 전환된 저농도의 CO와 스팀이 응축 없이 LTS로 즉시 주입되는 경우 많은 양의 스팀이 존재함에도 불구하고 대부분의 조건에서 다소 낮은 CO 전환율을 나타냈다. 또한 steam/CO비, 온도 및 유속에 대한 영향이 크게 나타나 최적의 조업조건을 결정하기에 추가적인 분석이 요구되었다. 반면, 고농도의 CO 기체를 포함하는 조건에서는 탄소침적 또는 촉매의 활성 저하가 나타나지 않았으며 대부분의 조건에서 높은 CO 전환율을 나타내었다. 결론적으로 Cu/ZnO/MgO/Al₂O₃ 촉매를 적용하여 고농도의 CO를 포함하는 합성가스 조성에서 적절한 조업조건을 적용시키면 단일 LTS 반응을 적용해도 고농도의 CO를 CO₂로 충분히 전환 가능함을 확인하였다.

$N_2O$ 촉매 분해 반응을 위한 $Co_3O_4$ 촉매는 공침법을 이용하여 제조하였으며, 조촉매로서 Ce 및 Zr의 양을 (Ce 또는 Zr)/Co = 0.05의 몰비로 고정하여 제조하였다. 또한 K가 촉매에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 1 wt%의 $K_2CO_3$를 함침하여 촉매를 제조하였다. 제조된 촉매의 특성은 BET, SEM, XRD, $H_2-TPR$, XPS를 통해 분석하였다. $Co_3O_4$ 촉매는 스피넬 결정상을 나타냈으며, 조촉매의 첨가는 입자 크기와 결정 크기를 감소시켜 비표면적을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. K의 도핑은 촉매 활성 물질인 Co의 활성 종인 $Co^{2+}$의 농도를 증가시켜 촉매 활성을 향상시키는 것으로 확인되었다. $N_2O$ 분해 반응 테스트는 $GHSV=45,000h^{-1}$, $250{\sim}375^{\circ}C$에서 수행되었으며 $Co_3O_4$ 촉매에 조촉매를 첨가하였을 때도 반응성이 증가하였지만, K를 함침하면 활성이 더욱 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. K의 도핑이 활성 종인 $Co^{2+}$의 농도를 증가시키며, 환원온도를 낮춰 주어 활성에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 확인하였다.

Co-P-B/FeCrAlloy 촉매의 $NaBH_4$ 가수분해 특성과 내구성에 대해 연구하였다. 5 wt% $NaBH_4$ 농도에서 활성화 에너지가 25.2 kJ/mol로 귀금속 촉매와 비슷했고, $NaBH_4$ 농도가 증가할수록 활성화 에너지가 증가하였다. 20 wt% 이상의 $NaBH_4$ 농도에서 겔 형성이 수소발생과 촉매 내구성에 많은 영향을 줬다. $NaBH_4$ 농도가 높을 때 반응온도가 높을수록 겔 형성이 안 되므로 촉매 손실률이 낮았다. 수소발생과 촉매 내구성을 모두 고려했을 때 담지체를 $1,000^{\circ}C$에서 열처리하고, 초음파 진동없이 촉매를 담지하고, 촉매 담지 후 소성한 촉매가 우수하였다. 25 wt% $NaBH_4$에서는 촉매를 3회 이상 재사용하기 위해서는 $60^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 반응시켜야 함을 보였다.

To check effects of operating variables on reaction characteristics of WGS catalyst for SEWGS process, water gas shift reaction tests were carried out in a pressurized fluidized bed reactor using commercial WGS catalyst and sand(as a substitute for $CO_2$ absorbent) as bed materials. Simulated syngas(mixed with $N_2$) was used as a reactant gas. Operating temperature was $210^{\circ}C$ and operating pressure was 20 bar. WGS catalyst content, steam/CO ratio, gas velocity, and syngas concentration were considered as experimental variables. CO conversion increased as the catalyst content and steam/CO ratio increased. CO conversion at fluidized bed condition was higher than that of fixed bed condition. However, CO conversion were maintained almost same value within the fluidized bed condition. CO conversion decreased as the syngas concentration increased. The optimum operation condition was confirmed and long time water gas shift reaction test up to 24 hours at the optimum operating conditions was carried out.

Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) was carried out in heat-exchanger typed reactor with cobalt metallic foam catalyst. Considering the heat and mass transfer limitations in the cobalt catalyst, a Co-foam catalyst with an inner metallic foam frame and an outer cobalt catalyst was developed. The Co-foam catalyst was highly selective toward liquid hydrocarbon production and the liquid hydrocarbon productivity at $203^{\circ}C$ reached to $52.5ml/(kg_{cat}{\cdot}h)$, which was higher than that obtained by the Co-pellet. Furthermore, the heat-exchanger typed reactor was developed to efficiently control the highly exothermic reaction heat. The reaction heat generated in the FTS reaction on the cobalt active site was easily transferred to reactor wall by the metallic foam in the catalyst and the transferred reaction heat was directly removed by the hot oil which circulated the wall side of the heat-exchanger typed reactor.

In proportion to the increase of industrial development, emission troubles were concerned as global issue. For these reasons, so many researchers and associated institutes effort to reduce pollution with new technology and various devices. As a kind of these methods, we used catalysts as a after-treatment system. At first, we made equipment of model furnace. And various catalysts were equipped at exhaust duct of combustion system, and excess air ratio(a), change cell numbers catalyst materials(Pt, Pd) were changed as experimental conditions. With these various condition, temperature. NOx, CO, HC, $CO_2$ and $O_2$ concentration were measured. As a result, NOx conversion increased with increasing of cell number in Pd catalyst. And Pt catalyst became 100% conversion at 200 and 300 cell. Also, Pt catalyst was better than Pd catalyst at a=1.5 in this condition. In addition, CO and HC concentrations were decreased at a = 1.5 with Pd catalyst.

All the $Ni-Co-Ce-ZrO_2$ mixed oxides are prepared by co-precipitations methods. Methanation of CO and $H_2$ reaction is screened tested over different fractions of cerium (2, 4, 7 and 12 wt.%) over $Ni-Co/ZrO_2$ bimetallic catalysts are investigated. The mixed oxides are characterized by XRD, CO-Chemisorption, TGA and screened methanation of CO and $H_2$ at $360^{\circ}C$ for 3000 min on stream at typical ratio $CO:H_2=1:1$. In $Ni-Co/CeZrO_2$ series 2 wt.% Ce loading catalyst shows most promising catalyst for $CH_4$ selectivity than $CO_2$, which directs more stability with less coke formation. The high activity is attributed to the better bimetallic synergy and the well-developed crystalline phases of NiO, $ZrO_2$ and $Ce-ZrO_2$. Other bimetallic mixed oxides NCoZ, $NCoC^{4-12}Z$ has faster deactivation with low methanation activity. Finally, 2 wt.% Ce loading catalyst was found to be optimal coke resistant catalyst.

To enhance the performance of SEWGS system by holding the WGS catalyst in a SEWGS reactor, a spring type bed insert was developed. In this study, effects of operating variables such as steam/CO ratio, gas velocity, syngas concentration on CO conversion were investigated in a fluidized bed reactor using the spring type bed insert to hold the WGS catalyst as tablet shape. CO conversion increased initially as the steam/CO ratio increased. But further increment of the steam/CO ratio caused decreasing of CO conversion because of increment of gas velocity and decrement of syngas concentration. Moreover, CO conversion decreased as the gas velocity increased and the syngas concentration decreased at the same steam/CO ratio. Continuous operation up to 48 hours (2 days) was carried out to check reactivity decay of WGS catalyst supported by spring type bed insert. The average CO conversion was 99.04% and we could conclude that the WGS reactivity at those conditions was maintained up to 48 hours.

Co/Al₂O₃ nanopowder was used as a catalyst to investigate the effect of catalyst support, reduction temperature, sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) concentration, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentration, and reaction temperature on the characteristics of NaBH₄ hydrolysis. The Co/Al₂O₃ nanopowder showed a high catalytic activity among various catalysts. Catalyst reduction at 250℃ exhibited a relatively good activity. The activity decreased with an increase in the NaBH₄ concentration. Conversely, the activity increased and then decreased with an increase in the NaOH concentration. Additionally, the activity increased with an increase in the reaction temperature. The value of apparent activation energy was 40.81 kJ/mol, which was lower than the other Co-based catalysts. Thus, Co/Al₂O₃ nanopowder catalyst can be widely used for NaBH₄ hydrolysis owing to its superior catalytic activity.
