A study has been carried out of the regenerability of a commercial Ni catalyst used in the steam reforming of the volatiles from biomass pyrolysis (gases and bio-oil), determining the evolution of the reaction indices (conversion, product yields and $H_2$ production) in successive reaction-regeneration cycles. The causes of catalyst deactivation (coke deposition and Ni sintering) have been ascertained characterizing the deactivated and regenerated catalysts by TPO, TEM, TPR and XRD. Catalyst activity is not fully recovered by coke combustion in the first cycles due to the irreversible deactivation by Ni sintering, but the catalyst reaches a pseudo-stable state beyond the fourth cycle, reproducing its behaviour in subsequent cycles.

본 연구는 바나듐 레독스 흐름전지에서 속도 결정단계인 양극 반응($[VO]^{2+}/[VO_2]^+$)을 개선하여 바나듐 반응의 속도를 증가시켜 흐름전지 성능을 향상시키고자 하는 목적으로 진행하엿다. 이를 위해, 다공성 촉매인 CMK3를 사용하여 일반적으로 사용되는 탄소 (Vulcan(XC-72)) 및 상용 Pt/C 촉매 (Johnson-Matthey사 Pt 20wt.%)와 그 성능을 비교하였다. 반응성은 순환주사전류법으로, 구조적 특성은 TEM과 BET&BJH을 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한, 완전지 실험을 통하여 전기화학적으로 나타난 결과가 어떻게 충방전에 적용되는지 확인하였다. 결과, CMK3는 Vulcan(XC-72)보다 6배 향상된 촉매 활성과 2배 이상 향상된 반응가역성이 나타남을 확인하였고, CMK3의 다공성 구조로 인해 Vulcan(XC-72) 보다 큰 표면적을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. 아울러, CMK3는 백금 촉매가 없음에도, 상용 Pt/C 촉매의 85% 이상의 반응성과 가역성을 나타내었다. 완전지 실험에서 충방전 곡선은 CMK3를 적용한 흐름전지가 오히려 상용 Pt/C 촉매를 적용한 흐름전지보다 좋은 모습을 나타내었다.

The water gas shift reaction was carried out using the commercial catalyst pellet and the simulated gases expected to occur from waste plastic gasification. In the water gas shift reaction, the high temperature shift reaction and the low temperature shift reaction were continuously performed with CO:H₂O ratio of 1:2, 1:2.5, and 1:3, and the CO conversion and H₂ increase rate were evaluated. The H₂ increase rate increased in order to CO:H₂O ratio of 1:3 > CO:H₂O ratio of 1:2.5 > CO:H₂O ratio of 1:2. The CO conversion showed a high value of more than 97% at each CO:H₂O ratio. The water gas shift reaction at a CO:H₂O ratio of 1:3 showed the highest H2 increase rate and CO conversion.

최근 사업장 질소산화물(NOx) 배출허용기준 강화(2019년 1월 적용)에 따라 다량 배출사업장에서 배출되는 질소산화물을 배출허용기준 이하로 만족하기 위한 노력이 필요하다. 대표적인 질소산화물 저감 방법으로 선택적 촉매 환원법(selective catalytic reduction, SCR)을 주로 사용하고 있으며, 일반적으로 세라믹 허니컴(ceramic honeycomb) 촉매를 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 높은 열적 안정성과 기계적 강도를 가지는 금속지지체 탈질 코팅촉매를 적용하여 제철소에서 배출되는 질소산화물를 저감하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 금속지지체 코팅촉매는 최적화된 촉매슬러리(catalyst slurry) 코팅방법을 통해 제조하였고, 내마모 시험과 굽힙 시험을 통해 코팅된 촉매가 균일하고 강건하게 부착되어 있음을 확인하였다. 금속지지체가 가지는 우수한 열전도 특성으로 인해 저온영역(200 ~ 250 ℃)에서 세라믹 허니컴 촉매보다도 우수한 탈질효율을 보였다. 또한 경제적인 촉매 설계를 위해 금속지지체 표면 상에 코팅되는 촉매의 최적 코팅량을 확인하였다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 제철소 배기가스 모사환경에서 상용급 금속지지체 코팅촉매에 대한 준파일럿 탈질 성능평가를 수행하였고, 저온영역(220 ℃)에서도 배출허용기준치(60 ppm 이하)을 만족하는 우수한 성능을 나타내었다. 따라서 물리화학적 특성이 우수한 금속지지체 코팅촉매가 최소량의 촉매 사용으로도 우수한 탈질 성능을 나타내었으며, 넓은 비표면적을 가지는 고밀도 금속지지체 적용을 통해 배연 탈질 촉매 반응기의 콤팩트화 및 소형화가 가능하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로, 본 연구에서 사용된 금속지지체 코팅촉매는 제철소뿐만 아니라 화력발전, 소각장, 선박, 건설기계 등 다양한 산업 분야에 적용할 수 있는 새로운 형태의 촉매가 될 것이다.

In this study, electrochemical characterizations of PdCu/C catalysts that are synthesized by modified polyol method are investigated. Most of all, amount of ethylene glycol (EG) that is used as main component for catalyst synthesis is mainly modulated to optimize synthetic condition of the PdCu/C catalyst, For evaluations about catalytic activity and performance of direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC), half cell and full cell tests are implemented. As a result, when amount of EG is 4M, catalytic activities of the PdCu/C catalyst such as peak current of formic acid oxidation and active surface area are best, while maximum power density of DFAFC using the optimized PdCu/C catalyst is better than that using commercial Pd/C (30 wt%) by 6%. Based on that, PdCu/C catalyst synthesized by modified polyol method plays a critical role in improving (i) catalytic activity for formic acid oxidation and (ii) DFAFC performance by employing as anodic catalyst.

본 연구는 질소산화물 제거를 위하여 암모니아를 환원제로 사용하는 선택적 촉매 환원법에 있어 지지체에 셀레늄을 첨가하여 300 ℃ 이하에서 V₂O₅/WO₃/TiO₂의 반응 활성을 증진시키기 위한 실험 및 반응특성 연구를 수행하였다. 졸-겔법으로 Se-TiO₂ 및 TiO₂를 합성하였으며, 이를 지지체로 하여 V₂O₅/WO₃/TiO₂ 및 V₂O₅/WO₃/Se-TiO₂ 촉매를 제조하여 상용 촉매와 반응 활성을 비교하였다. 실험 결과, 졸-겔법으로 합성한 TiO₂를 사용한 촉매의 탈질 효율이 상용 TiO₂를 사용하여 제조한 촉매보다 낮은 결과를 보였으나 셀레늄을 첨가함에 따라 탈질 효율이 증진되었다. 따라서 BET, XRD, Raman, H₂-TPR 및 FT-IR분석을 통하여 셀레늄의 첨가가 촉매의 구조에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며 셀레늄 첨가에 의한 비표면적의 증가와 단량체 및 복합체 바나듐 종의 형성이 반응 특성에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다.

Temperature programmed oxidation (TPO) is used to characterize coke species deposited on commercial nickel catalyst, C11-PR during propane pre-reforming. Propane pre-reforming performed under various condition, S/C from 1.5 to 2.5 and temperature from $350^{\circ}C$ to $450^{\circ}C$. There are three kinds of coke species detected by TPO: (i) reactive coke, (ii) coke deposited on metal site and (iii) coke deposited on acid support. Coke deposited on metal and support are minimized although reactive coke is generated at temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ and S/C of 2.0. Reactive coke is expected to remove easily below temperature of $200^{\circ}C$. Therefore, optimized pre-reforming condition for propane is $400^{\circ}C$ and S/C of 2.0.

In this paper, we characterized bimetallic Pt-Ru/C alloy catalysts having four different compositions and compared the catalytic activities of the prepared alloys for CO oxidation. ICP-AES, EDS, XRD, TEM, and XAS were used to investigate the composition, degree of alloying, particle size, and electronic structure of the prepared Pt-Ru/C catalysts. Those results indicated the synthesis of the alloy catalysts with intended composition and uniform size. The electrochemical study of the characterized alloys showed higher catalytic activity for CO oxidation than that of the commercial Pt/C (E-TEK, Inc., 20 wt %) catalyst. Especially, it was shown that the alloy catalyst with Ru composition of 50 atomic % gave the highest catalytic activity for CO oxidation.

Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) have found a wide variety of commercial applications such as portable computer and mobile phone. In a fuel cell, the catalysts have an important role and durability and efficiency are determined by the ability of the catalyst. The activity of the catalyst is determined by the structure and shape control of the nanoparticles and the dispersion of the nanoparticles and application system. The surface energy of nanoparticles determines the activity by shape control and the nanostructure is determined by the ratio of bi- and tri-metals in the alloy and core-shell. The dispersion of nanoparticles depends on the type of support such as carbon, graphen and metal oxide. In addition, a hybrid system using both optical and electrochemical device has been developed recently.

Syngas from gasification of coal can be converted to SNG(Synthesis Natural Gas) through gas cleaning, water gas shift, $CO_2$ removal, and methanation. One of the key technologies involved in the production of SNG is the methanation process. In the methanation process, carbon oxide is converted into methane by reaction with hydrogen. Major factors of methanation are hydrogen-carbon oxide ratio, reaction temperature and space velocity. In order to understand the catalytic behavior, temperature programmed surface reaction (TPSR) experiments and reaction in a fixed bed reactor of carbon monoxide have been performed using two commercial catalyst with different Ni contents (Catalyst A, B). In case of catalyst A, CO conversion was over 99% at the temperature range of $350{\sim}420^{\circ}C$ and CO conversions and $CH_4$ selectivity were lower at the space condition over 3000 1/h. In case of catalyst B, CO conversion was 100% at the temperature over $370^{\circ}C$ and CO conversions and $CH_4$ selectivity were lower at the space condition over 4700 1/h. Also, conditions to satisfy $CH_4$ productivity over 500 ml/h.g-cat were over 2000 1/h of space velocity in case of catalyst A and over 2300 1/h of space velocity in case of catalyst B.
