The objectives of this research were the reduction of membrane fouling and improvement of sludge properties by using synthesized H-ZSM-5 and NH₄-ZSM-5 zeolites. These two nano zeolites were synthesized and added to the membrane bioreactor (MBR). Three similar MBRs with the same operational condition were used in order to evaluate their effect on the mentioned matters. The evaluated parameters were trans-membrane pressure (TMP), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), particle size distribution (PSD), soluble microbial product (SMP), extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and, excitation-emission matrix (EEM). The MBR₀ was without any additional zeolite while 0.4 g/L of H-ZSM-5 and NH₄-ZSM-5 were added to MBR_HZSM-5 and MBR_NH4ZSM-5, respectively. The COD removal of the MBR₀, MBR_H-ZSM-5 and MBR_NH4-ZSM-5 were 87.5%, 93.3% and 94.6%, respectively. The TMP of the MBR_H-ZSM-5 was 45% less than MBR₀ whereas the reduction for MBR_NH4-ZSM-5 was 65.5%. Also results showed that both H-ZSM-5 and NH₄-ZSM-5 caused reduction in protein and polysaccharide related EPS but the NH₄-ZSM-5 had better performance toward the elimination of organic compounds.

[Ga]-MFI and H-ZSM-5 catalysts were synthesized under atmospheric pressure and used in the propylene aromatization. The effect of temperature on the product distribution was also investigated. The catalytic activities of the prepared catalysts were compared with the commercialized H-ZSM-5 which was converted from $NH_{4}$-ZSM-5. In the propylene aromatization, product distribution does not depend on the ratio of Si/$Ga_{2}$ with [Ga]-MFI catalyst, but depend on the ratio of Si/$Al_{2}$ with H-ZSM-5 catalyst [Ga]-MFI catalyst shows better dehydrogenation and alkylation activities than H-ZSM-5 catalyst The addition of Ga to H-ZSM-5 catalyst increases the conversion of propylene, selectivity to aromatics, and alkylation. In the propylene aromatization, the selectivity to aromatics slightly increased with increasing temperature with [Ga]-MFI catalyst, while slightly decreased with increasing temperature with H-ZSM-5 catalyst.

Methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether (DME) has been investigated over ZSM-5 zeolites and compared with that of ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. Although the catalytic activity was decreased with an increase in silica/alumina ratio, the DME selectivity increased. H-ZSM-5 and NaH-ZSM-5 zeolites were more active for conversion of methanol to DME than ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. $Na^+$ ion-exchanged H-ZSM-5 (NaH-ZSM-5) shows higher DME selectivity than H-ZSM-5 due to the selective removal of strong acid sites.

methacrylic acid과 ethylene glycol과의 에스테르화 반응을 ZSM-5에 지지된 heteropolyacids [HPA: $H_4SiW_{12}O_{40}$(STA)와 $H_3PW_{12}O_{40}$(PTA)] 하에서 수행하였다. 비교를 위하여, 지지하지 않은HPA, $H_2SO_4$, $BF_3$와 PTSA 하에서 같은 반응을 수행하였다. 연구한 촉매 중에서, HPA는 $H_2SO_4$, $BF_3$와 PTSA와 비교하여 더 좋은 활성을 보여주었다. 촉매 활성을 HPA지지 ZSM-5 촉매와 비교하였는데, 그 결과 ZSM-5위에 지지된 30 wt% PTA는 bulk PTA와 거의 같은 활성을 나타내었다. 이 반응은 methacrylic acid에 관하여 1차 속도 법칙을 따랐으며, 반응 생성물은 $^1H$-NMR과 FT-IR을 이용하여 확인하였다.

Using uniform flat plate-like samples of ZSM-5 zeolites, diffusion coefficients were measured volumetrically for the diffusion of xylene, ethyltoluene and diethylbenzene by direct measurement of sorption rate. Toluene disproportionation over H(100)-, K(72)-and Cs(82)-ZSM-5 at 773 K and toluene methylation, toluene ethylation and ethylbenzene ethylation over Cs(75)-ZSM-5 at 623 K were carried out. The selective formation of para xylene during the toluene disproportionation, presumably due to the increased tortuosity over Cs-ZSM-5, could be explained by smaller diffusion coefficient in Cs-ZSM-5 than in K-and H-ZSM-5. The para selectivity increased in the order; toluene methylation < toluene ethylation < ethylbenzene ethylation. As the chain length of the alkyl substituent in dialkylbenzenes is increased, the para selectivity of the products was improved. It may be attributed to the differences in the ratios of diffusion coefficient of para products to that of ortho ones. Diffusion coefficient of m-xylene was about 1 order of magnitude smaller than that of o-xylene.

The selective catalytic reduction(SCR) of nitric oxide by ethane in the presence of oxygen was investigated on Cu-ZSM-5, Co-ZSM-5 and Ga-ZSM-5 catalysts over a range of 400, 450 and $500^{\circ}C$. The catalysts were prepared by ion-exchange method. The composition of the reactant gases were 1000 ppm of NO, 1000 ppm of $C_{2}H_{6}$ and 2.5% of $O_{2}$, and the reaction was conducted in a fixed-bed reactor at 1 atm. For the 20wt% Co-ZSM-5(50) catalyst, the NO conversion reached up to 100%, while the $C_2H_6$ conversion and the CO selectivity were about 50% and 25%, respectively, at $450^{\circ}C$. For the 20wt% Cu-ZSM-5(50) catalyst, the NO conversion and the C2H6 conversion were about 80% and 100%, respectively, but there was no CO produced. The metal ion-exchanged ZSM-5 catalysts exhibited a tendency to increase the NO conversion with the Si/Al ratio of the ZSM-5, that is, NO conversion was inversely proportional to the acidity of the catalysts. But, the effect of the acidity on NO conversion was not so large. From the XRD results of the catalysts before and after SCR reaction it was found that there was no structural change.

경질올레핀을 제조하기 위한 n-옥탄의 접촉분해반응에서 H-ZSM-5 촉매의 소성 및 스팀 처리 영향을 $550{\sim}750^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 조사하였다. 소성 및 스팀 처리 온도를 높이면 H-ZSM-5 촉매의 비표면적, 기공부피 및 강산점이 줄어들었다. $650^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 스팀 처리는 제올라이트 구조 내 알루미늄의 탈알루미늄화 및 미세기공의 붕괴로 강산점이 소멸되어, 미세 기공부피가 줄어들며 입자 간 결합에 의한 중기공이 형성되었다. $^{27}Al$ 및 $^{29}Si$ MAS NMR 스펙트럼으로부터 스팀 처리로 발생하는 탈알루미늄의 과정을 검토하였다. 제올라이트 격자의 알루미늄이 사면체 배위구조 알루미늄 ${\rightarrow}$ 5개 배위구조 알루미늄 ${\rightarrow}$ 팔면체 배위구조 알루미늄으로 변화과정을 거침을 알 수 있었다. n-옥탄 접촉 분해반응의 전환율, 경질올레핀 수율 및 에틸렌/프로필렌 비가 H-ZSM-5의 소성 및 스팀 처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 스팀 처리는 소성 처리보다 활성저하 정도가 더욱 심하여 $750^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 스팀 처리 후에는 H-ZSM-5가 촉매로서의 기능을 상실하여 열분해반응에 근접하는 전환율, 경질올레핀 수율 및 에틸렌/프로필렌 비의 결과를 나타내었다.

H-ZSM-5 and γ-alumina were treated with formaldehyde and sodium carbonate. The treatment increased the amounts of weak acid sites, removing strong acid sites. The maximum temperature of weak acid sites in their ammonia TPD spectra shifted in the direction of high temperature. The modified H-ZSM-5 and g-alumina were mixed with the methanol synthesis catalyst to perform dimethyl ether synthesis from syn-gas. The modified catalysts showed better selectivity to dimethyl ether, minimizing the reforming reaction to carbon dioxide. The maximum yield of 53.3% to dimethyl ether was achieved under the reaction conditions of 54.4 atm, 523 K, and the feed rate of 4500 Lhr-1 .gcat-1.

In this study transesterification of Triglycerides (TG) from Jatropha curcas oil (JCO) with methanol for production of biodiesel was investigated over cerium impregnated ZSM-5 catalysts. NaZSM-5 was synthesized in an alkaline medium and impregnated with cerium oxide by wet method using cerium nitrate as a source for cerium. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimeteric analysis (TGA), $CO_2$-temperature programmed desorption, and $N_2$ adsorption/desorption analysis. XRD analysis showed decrease in intensity of the patterns with the increase in the ceria loading but crystallization of ceria to larger size is an evident for 10 and 15% loading. The optimal yield of transesterification process was found to be 90% under the following conditions: oil to methanol molar ratio: 1:12; temperature: $60^{\circ}C$; time: 1 h; catalyst: 5 wt %. Here the yield of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) was calculated through $^1H$ NMR analysis. The investigation on catalyst loading, temperature, time and reusability illustrated that these ceria impregnated NaZSM-5's were found to be selective, recyclable and could yield biodiesel at low temperature with low methanol to oil ratio due to the presence of both Lewis and Bronsted basicity. Hence, from the above study it is concluded that ceria impregnated ZSM-5 could be recognized as a potential catalysts for biodiesel production in industrial processes.

본 연구에서는 극초음속 비행체의 냉각제로 사용되는 액체탄화수소 연료와 흡열 촉매의 안정적 사용을 위해 Al₂O₃와 H-ZSM-5를 stainless steel tube 내벽에 코팅하는 연구를 수행하였다. 액체탄화수소 연료의 흡열분해 반응에서 coke 생성이 불가피하며, stainless steel tube reactor를 냉각채널로 사용하게 됨에 따라 Fe, Ni 금속이 filamentous coke 생성을 유발한다. 이에 따라 stainless steel에 H-ZSM-5를 코팅함으로써, Fe과 Ni 금속이 액체탄화수소 연료에 직접 노출되는 것을 방지하고 filamentous coke 생성을 억제하고자 하였다. 또한 stainless steel과 H-ZSM-5 사이에는 Al₂O₃을 코팅하여, 부착 강도를 증진 시키고자 하였다.
