함침법과 침적침전법으로 Cu-Mn 산화물 촉매를 제조하여 톨루엔 촉매 분해 반응을 조사하였다. 구리와 망간이 혼합됨으로 촉매활성을 증진 시킬 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 같은 화학적 조성으로 제조된 함침법보다 침적침전법에 의해 제조된 Cu-Mn 산화물 촉매에서 톨루엔 분해 반응 활성이 더 높았다. 침적침전법에 의해 제조된 촉매는 10일간의 장기 분석과 수분 첨가에 의한 톨루엔 분해 효율에 변화가 없었다. 촉매 특성 분석 결과에 기초하여 보면, 침적침전법은 촉매의 표면에 균일한 분산과 작은 크기의 입자를 제공하며 환원 능력을 증진시키는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 침적침전법은 촉매의 성능을 향상 시키고 촉매의 안정성을 중진 시키는 것으로 생각 된다. 또한 Cu-Mn 산화물 촉매에서 톨루엔 분해 반응은 산화환원 반응에 의존하며 $Cu_{1.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ 스피넬 구조가 주요한 촉매 활성점으로 작용하는 것으로 추측된다.

The catalytic combustion of toluene was investigated on the Cu-Mn oxide catalysts prepared by the deposition-precipitation method. Experiment of toluene combustion was performed with a fixed bed flow reactor in the temperature range of $100{\sim}280^{\circ}C$. Among the catalysts, 1.29Cu/Mn showed the most activity at $260^{\circ}C$. The deposition-precipitation method may be showed the potential to enhance the activity of catalysts. The catalysts were characterized by BET, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. On the basis of catalyst characterization data, the results showed that the surface of catalysts by deposition-precipitation method had uniform distribution and smaller particle size, which enhanced the reduction capability of catalysts. The XRD results showed that $Cu_{1.5}Mn_{1.5}O_{4}$ spinel phase was made by deposition-precipitation method, and increased catalyst activity and redox characteristic. It was assumed that the reduction step of $Cu_{1.5}Mn_{1.5}O_{4}$ spinel phase progressed $Cu_{1.5}Mn_{1.5}O_{4}\;to\;CuMnO_{2},\;and\;Cu_{2}O\;to\;CuMn_{2}O_{4}\;and\;Cu$.

암모니아를 환원제로 사용하는 선택적 촉매 환원법에서 Mn-Cu-$TiO_2$ 촉매와 $V_2O_5$/$TiO_2$ 촉매를 사용하여 반응 조건에 따른 질소 산화물 전환 특성을 연구하였다. 반응 온도와 공간 속도를 변경시키면서 촉매의 질소 산화물 전환 효율 변화를 측정하였다. Mn-Cu-$TiO_2$ 촉매의 질소 산화물 제거 활성은 반응 온도와 공간 속도가 증가할수록 감소하였으나, $V_2O_5$/$TiO_2$ 촉매의 경우 반응 온도 증가에 따라 촉매의 질소 산화물 제거 활성 또한 증가하였다. Mn-Cu-$TiO_2$ 촉매의 경우 $200^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서 저온 활성이 우수하였으며, 이를 $H_2$-TPR 및 XPS 분석 실험을 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 초기 반응 온도의 변경 실험을 통해 Mn-Cu-$TiO_2$ 촉매의 경우 고온에서 열적 쇼크를 일부 받으나, $V_2O_5$/$TiO_2$ 촉매의 경우는 거의 영향을 받지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다. 공간 속도에 따른 질소 산화물 전환 효율 변화는 C 촉매의 경우 전 구간에 걸쳐 공간 속도가 증가할수록 질소 산화물 전환 효율도 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 D 촉매의 경우 공간 속도가 증가할수록 질소 산화물 전환 효율은 감소하였으나, 감소 정도가 C 촉매 보다는 훨씬 적었다.

The high-quality carbon nanofibers were prepared by chemical vapor deposition of gas mixtures of CO-H2 and C3H8-H2 over Fe-Cu and Ni-Cu bimetallic catalysts. The yield and structure of carbon nanofiber produced were altered by the change of catalyst composition and reaction temperature. The high yields were obtained around 500$^{\circ}C$ with e-Cu catalyst and around 700-750$^{\circ}C$ with Ni-Cu catalyst and the relatively higher yields were obtained with the bimetallic catalyst containing 50-90% of Ni and Fe respectively in comparison with the pure metals. The carbon nanofibers produced over the Fe-Cu catalyst at around 500$^{\circ}C$ with the maximum yields had the highest surface ares of 160-200 m2/g around 650$^{\circ}C$ which was slightly lower than the temperature for maximum yields. In order to examine the characteristics of carbon nanofibers as catalyst support Ni and Co metals were supporte on the carbon nanofibers and CO hydrogenation reaction was performed with the catalysts. The particle size distribution of Ni and Co supported over the carbon nanofibers were 6-15 nm and the CO hydrogenation reaction rate with the carbon-nanofiber supported catalysts was much higher than that over the other supports.

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.

The catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (methanol. acetaldehyde) has been characterized using the copper phthalocyanine catalyst in a fixed bed flow reactor under atmospheric pressure. The catalytic activity for pretreatment conditions was examined by this reaction system. The catalytic activity was ordered as follows: metal free-PC＜Cu ($\alpha$)-PC＜Cu ($\beta$)-PC The formaldehyde, carbon monoxide as a partial oxidation product of methanol and acetaldehyde over Cu ($\alpha$)-PC catalyst were detected and the conversions of methanol and acetaldehyde were accomplished above 95% over Cu ($\alpha$) -PC, Cu ($\beta$) - PC catalyst at 35$0^{\circ}C$. The pretreated metal free -PC, Cu($\alpha$)-PC, Cu($\beta$)-PC catalysts have been characterised by TGA, EA and XRD analysis. The catalytic activity pretreated with air and $CH_3$OH mixture (P-4) or air only (P-5) was very excellent. XRD and EA results showed that Cu($\alpha$)-PC, Cu($\beta$)-PC were destroyed an(1 new metal oxide such as CuO were formed.

석유화학공정에서 발생하는 산화철폐촉매를 이용하여 폐수 중 중금속회수에 관한 기초연구를 실시하였다. Zn, Ni, Cu, 및 Fe의 농도가 200mg/L인 각각의 합성폐수에 폐촉매 첨가량을 변화하여 실험한 바, 각 금속의 98% 회수율을 얻은 폐촉매 첨가량은 Cu 와 Fe 폐수 ：2％ 이상, Zn 폐수：3％ 이상, Ni 폐수 ：7％ 이상이었다. 또한 폐산화철 촉매로서 Zn, Ni, Cu 및 Fe 금속의 98％ 이상 회수할 수 있는 각각의 폐수 pH는 Ni： 10.6 이상, Cu： 8.0 이상, Fe：6.5 이상, Zn：8.5 이상이었다. 따라서 폐산화철 촉매에 의한 폐수 중 중금속 회수는 폐촉매의 알카리성분에 의한 침전이 주 메카니즘이고, 각 금속의 수산화침전 pH이하 폐촉매의 등전점(pH 3.0) 이상의 pH범위에서는 금속이온이 폐촉매 표면에서 물리흡착에 의해 일부 회수된다.

$TiO_2-catalyst$ suspensions work efficiently in Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) for wastewater treatment. Nevertheless, once photocatalysis is completed, separation of the catalyst from solution becomes the main problem. The PCO of Cu(II)-EDTA was studied to determine the reusability of the titanium dioxide catalyst. Aqueous solutions of $10^{-4}M$ Cu(II)-EDTA were treated using illuminated $TiO_2$ particles at pH 6 in a circulating reactor. $TiO_2$ was reused in PCO system for treatment of Cu(II)-EDTA comparing two procedures: reuse of water and $TiO_2$ and reuse of the entire suspension after PCO of Cu(II)-EDTA. The results are as follows; (i) Photocatalytic efficiency worsens with successive runs when catalyst and water are reused without separation and filtration, whereas, when $TiO_2$ is separated from water, the reused $TiO_2$ is not deactivated. (ii) The $TiO_2$ mean recovery (%) with reused $TiO_2$ was 86.4%(1.73g/L). Although the mean initial degradation rate of Cu(II)-EDTA and Cu(II) was lower than that using fresh $TiO_2$, there was no significant change in the rate during the course of the three-trial experiment. It is suggested that Cu(II)-EDTA could be effectively treated using an recycling procedure of PCO and catalyst recovery. (iii) However, without $TiO_2$ separation, the loss of efficiency of the PCO in the use of water and $TiO_2$ due to Cu(II), DOC remained from previous degradation and Cu(II)-EDTA added to the same suspension was observed after 2 trials, and resulted in the inhibition of the Cu(II)-EDTA, Cu(II) and DOC destruction.

Dichlorodihydrofluorescein ($DCFH_2$) is a widely used probe for intracellular $H_2O_2$. However, $H_2O_2$ can oxidize $DCFH_2$ only in the presence of a catalyst, whose identity in cells has not been clearly defined. We compared the peroxidase activity of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD), cytochrome c, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), $Cu^{2+}$, and $Fe^{3+}$ under various conditions to identify an intracellular catalyst. Enormous increase by bicarbonate in the rate of $DCFH_2$ oxidation distinguished CuZnSOD from cytochrome c and HRP. Cyanide inhibited the reaction catalyzed by CuZnSOD but accelerated that by $Cu^{2+}$ and $Fe^{3+}$. Oxidation of $DCFH_2$ by $H_2O_2$ in the presence of a cell lysate was also enhanced by bicarbonate and inhibited by cyanide. Confocal microscopy of $H_2O_2$-treated cells showed enhanced DCF fluorescence in the presence of bicarbonate and attenuated fluorescence for the cells pre-incubated with KCN. Moreover, DCF fluorescence was intensified in CuZnSOD-transfected HaCaT and RAW 264.7 cells. We propose that CuZnSOD is a potential intracellular catalyst for the $H_2O_2$-dependent oxidation of $DCFH_2$.

Photocatalytic green energy H2 production utilizing inexhaustible solar energy has been considered as a potential solution to problems of energy scarcity and environmental contamination. However, the design of a cost-effective photocatalyst using simple synthesis methodology is still a grand challenge. Herein, a low-cost transition metal, Cu-loaded one-dimensional TiO2 nanorods (Cu/TNR) were fabricated using an easy-to-use synthesis methodology for significant H2 production under simulated solar light. X-ray photoelectron spectral studies and electron microscopy measurements provide evidence to support the successful formation of the Cu/TNR catalyst under our experimental conditions. UV-vis DRS studies further demonstrate that introducing Cu on the surface of TNR substantially increases light absorption in the visible range. Notably, the Cu/TNR catalyst with optimum Cu content, achieved a remarkable H2 production with a yield of 39,239 µmol/g after 3 h of solar light illumination, representing 7.4- and 27.7-fold enhancements against TNR and commercial P25, respectively. The notably improved H2 evolution activity of the target Cu/TNR catalyst was primarily attributed to its excellent separation and efficiently hampered recombination of photoexcited electron-hole pairs. The Cu/TNR catalyst is, therefore, a potential candidate for photocatalytic green energy applications.
