디젤은 높은 volumetric density$[VD,\;kg\;H_2/m^3]\;(>100)$와 gravimetric density$(GD,\;\%\;H_2)\;(>17)$를 가지는 우수한 수소저장매체 중의 하나이다. (Liquid Hydrogen의 경우 VD와 GD가 각각 50, 18 정도) 본 연구는 이러한 디젤연료의 개질에 적합한 촉매선정 및 반응특성에 관한 연구를 실시하였다 촉매는 자체 선정한 3가지 촉매(NECS-1, NECS-2, NECS-3)와 2가지 상용촉매(FCR-HCl4, FCR-HC35. Sud-Chemie, Inc)에 대하여 조사하였다. 실험결과 NECS-1이 디젤개질에 가장 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 이와 함께 촉매 층의 길이에 따른 온도 및 농도를 분석하였으며, 디젤개질을 위한 연료의 delivery 문제로 인한 촉매 층 내의 급격한 온도 변화특성을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 촉매 층 상단부에서 발생한 발열량을 하단부의 흡열부에 효과적으로 전달하는 것이 ATR(Autothermal Reforming) 반응 특성에 깊게 연관되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Fuel cells have been spotlighted in the world for being highly efficient and environmentally friendly. A hydrogen which is the fuel of fuel cell can be obtained from a number of sources. Hydrogen source for operating the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) in the current underwater environment, such as a submarine and unmanned underwater vehicles are currently from the metal hydride cylinder. However, metal hydride has many limitations for using hydrogen carrier, such as large volume, long charging time, limited storage capacity. To solve these problems, we suggest diesel reformer for hydrogen supply source. Diesel fuel has many advantages, such as high hydrogen storage density, easy to transport and also well-infra structure. However, conventional diesel reforming system for PEMFC requires a large volume and complex CO removal system for lowering the CO level to less than 10 ppm. In addition, because the preferential oxidation(PROX) reaction is the strong exothermic reaction, cooling load is required. By changing this PROX reactor to hydrogen separation membrane, the problem from PROX reactor can be solved. This is because hydrogen separation membranes are small and permeable to pure hydrogen. In this study, we conducted the pressurized diesel reforming and water-gas shift reaction experiment for the hydrogen separation membrane application. Then, the hydrogen permeation experiments were performed using a Pd alloy membrane for the reformate gas.

Steam reforming of n-hexadecane, a major component of diesel over Ni-based hydrotalcite-like catalyst was carried out at $900^{\circ}C$ at atmospheric pressure with space velocity of $10,000h^{-1}$ and feed molar ratio of steam/carbon=3.0. Ni-based hydrotalcite catalyst was prepared by a solid phase crystallization (spc) method and characterized by $N_2$-physisorption, CO chemisorption, TPR., XRD, and TEM techniques. It was found that spc Ni/MgAl catalyst showed higher catalytic stability and inhibition of carbon formation than Ni/$\gamma-Al_2O_3$ catalyst under the tested conditions. The results suggest that the modified spc-Ni/MgAl catalyst after optimization may be applied for the SR reaction of diesel.

본 연구에서는 수송용 경유를 연료로 사용하고 있는 간접분사식 디젤기관에 있어서 연료에 초음파 에너지를 조사하였을 때의 기관성능 및 배출물질 특성 변화에 대해 조사하였다. 실험은 경유에 초음파 에너지를 조사한 연료와 상용 경유를 간접분사식 디젤기관에 적용하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 본 운전조건하에서, 초음파 에너지를 조사한 경유로 디젤기관을 운전하였을 경우,상용 경유 운전 시에 비해 지압선도, 열발생율 및 출력이 상승하고 질량연소율이 단축되었으며 제동연료소비율과 매연은 감소하였다. 또한, 보다 안정화되면서 완전한 연소가 이루어졌으며 질소산화물은 증가하였다.

Steam reforming (SR) of glycerol, a main by-product of manufacturing process of bio-diesel, for the production of hydrogen was investigated over the Ni-based catalysts. The Ni-based catalysts were prepared by an impregnation method, and characterized by $N_2$ physisorption, CO chemisorption, XRD and TEM techniques. It was found that the Ni/${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst showed higher conversion and catalytic stability for the carbon formation than the other catalysts in the steam reforming of glycerol under the tested conditions. The results suggest that the steam reforming of glycerol over modified Ni/${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst minimized carbon formation can be applied in hydrogen station for fuel-cell powered vehicles and fuel processor for stationary and portable fuel cells.

Liquid hydrocarbon fuels, such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel and JP 8, can be good candidates for SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell) system fuel due to their high hydrogen density. Autothermal reforming (ATR) is suitable for liquid hydrocarbon fuel reforming because oxygen can decompose the aromatics in liquid fuel and steam can suppress the carbon deposition during catalytic reaction. The advantage of ATR is that it has a simple system construction due to exothermicity of ATR reaction. We control the exothermicity of reaction, make the reaction possible design a self-sustaining ATR reactor. A self-sustained 1kW-class kerosene autothermal reformer is introduced in this paper. The 1kW-class kerosene reformer was continuously operated for about 140 hours without degradation of reforming performance.

This study discusses about research efforts of hydrogen generation from hydrocarbon(e.g., diesel, gasoline, natural gas, and LPG), especially, butane reforming by using Autothermal Reforming Reaction (ATR) technology. Several catalysts were selected for butane ATR. Thermodynamic reactor conditions (temperature, $O_2$/C, S/C) are varied and reforming characteristics of 2 catalysts (Pt and Rh on ceramic supports) and 1 commercial catalyst (FCR-HC35) have been examined. To understand reaction behaviors in an ATR reactor comprehensively, temperature profiles of reactor were observed. By mass transfer limitation, fuel conversion decreases when GHSV increases. Significant temperature variation along the reactor was observed and it was mainly due reaction kinetics difference between exothermic oxidation and endothermic reforming reaction.

고온형 연료전지인 고체산화물 연료전지(solid oxide fuel cell, SOFC)는 연료에 대한 유연성(fuel flexibility)이 높다. 따라서 높은 에너지 밀도를 가진 디젤을 개질하여 SOFC를 운전하는 것은 효과적인 방법이다. 하지만 디젤이 가지는 특성으로 인해 디젤 자열개질기(autothermal refromer)는 운전 시간에 따라 탄소 침적(carbon deposition) 현상이 발생하여 개질기의 성능이 쉽게 저감된다. 개질기 성능 저감 현상 때문에 개질 가스들 중에 탄화수소 생성량이 많아지며, 이는 SOFC 성능도 저감시킨다. 이러한 현상은 연료극에 공급되는 탄화수소가 야기하는 탄소 침적으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서는 탄화수소가 SOFC에 주는 성능 저감을 확인하였으며, 연료전지 성능 저감을 줄이기 위한 디젤 자열개질기 반응물들의 조건 선정($H_2O/C$와 $O_2/C$의 몰 비)을 통해 디젤 자열 개질기 특성을 살펴보았다. 특히 $H_2O/C=0.8$과 $O_2/C=3$인 디젤 자열개질 반응 조건에서 좋은 개질 성능을 확인할 수 있었다.

Diesel particulate filter (DPF) systems are being used to reduce the particulate matter emission of diesel vehicles. The DPF should be regenerated after certain driving hours or distance to eliminate soot in the filter. The most widely used method is active regeneration with oxygen at $550{\sim}650^{\circ}C$. Syngas (synthetic gas) can be used to lower the regeneration temperature of Catalyzed DPF (CDPF). The syngas is formed by fuel reforming process of CPOx (Catalytic Partial Oxidation) at specific engine condition (1500rpm, 2bar) using 1wt.% $Rh/CeO_2-ZrO_2$ catalyst. The oxidation characteristics of PM with syngas supplied to filter were studied using partial flow system that can control temperature and flow rate independently. The filter is coated with washcoat loading of $25g/ft^3$ $Pt/Al_2O_3-CeO_2$, and multi-channel CDPF (MC-CDPF) was used. The filter regeneration experiments were performed to investigate the effect of syngas exothermic reaction on soot oxidation in the filter. For this purpose, before oxidation experiment, PM was collected about 8g/L to the filter at engine condition of 1500rpm, bmep 8bar and flow temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ Various conditions of temperature and concentration of syngas were used for the tests. Regeneration of filter started at 2% $H_2$ and CO concentration respectively and inlet temperature of $260^{\circ}C$. Filter Regeneration occurs more actively as the syngas concentration becomes higher.
