Porous ceramic membranes consisting of $Ce_{1-x}Y_xO_{2-{\delta}}$ were developed for hydrogen permeation tests. Various amounts (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2) of yttrium were doped to ceria to study the effect of yttrium doping on ceria membranes on various properties, including hydrogen permeability. $Ce_{1-x}Y_xO_{2-{\delta}}$ powder was synthesized by the sol-gel method. These membranes were fabricated by pressing and sintering at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 6 h. As the amount of yttrium increased, the grain size of the membrane decreased. Hydrogen permeability was improved as the yttrium content increased. Selective permeability of hydrogen compared to CO is explained by electric conductivity. As the temperature rose, both the hydrogen perm-selectivity and electric conductivity on $Ce_{0.8}Y_{0.2}O_{1.9}$ improved.

Methane steam reforming (MSR) reaction for hydrogen production was studied in a membrane reactor (MR) using two tubular membranes, one Pd-based and one of porous alumina. A higher methane conversion than the thermodynamic equilibrium for a traditional reactor (TR) was achieved using MRs. The experimental temperature range was 350-500$^{\circ}C$; no sweep-gas was employed during reaction tests to avoid its back-permeation through the membrane and the steam/methane molar feed ratio (m) varied in the range 3.5-5.9. The best results (the difference between the MR conversion and the thermodynamic equilibrium was of about 7%) were achieved with the alumina membrane, working with the highest steam/methane ratio and at 450$^{\circ}C$. Silica membranes prepared at KRICT laboratories were characterized with permeation tests on single gases (N$_2$, H$_2$ and CH$_4$). These membranes are suited for H$_2$ separation at high temperature.

본 연구에서는 고강도 고내구성 및 환경에 대한 안정성이 높은 주입재료를 주입재 형태별로 즉 현탁액형, 용액형 주입재에 배합설계를 실시하여 주입압, 지반조건에 따른 주입효과와 환경적 유해성을 분석 검토하고자 한다. 주입재 특성 및 주입효과에 대한 연구결과, 현탁액형 주입재에서는 초미립자시멘트가 보통시멘트에 비하여 상당히 높은 침투성 및 고결율을 나타냄을 알 수 있었고 용액형 주입재에 사용된 인산과 탄산수소나트륨의 경우 초미립자시멘트와 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 주입된 고결체의 압축강도 시험결과, 현탁액형 주입재의 초미립자시멘트가 상당한 고강도를 나타났으나 용액형 주입재의 경우 현탁액형 주입재에 비하여 매우 낮은 강도를 나타내었다. 또한 주입재가 가지고 있는 환경적 유해성 여부를 평가하기 위해 대상시료를 주입재의 원재료 및 주입재의 고결시편의 양생일수에 따라 중금속 용출시험을 실시한 결과, 선정한 약액조합 및 고결체의 중금속 함량은 규제기준을 만족하였다.

A Pd-based hydrogen membranes for hydrogen purification and separation need high hydrogen perm-selectivity. The surface roughness of the support is important to coat the pinholes free and thin-film membrane over it. Also, The pinholes drastically decreased the hydrogen perm-selectivity of the Pd-based composite membrane. In order to remove the pinholes, we introduced various surface pre-treatment such as alumina powder packing, nickel electro-plating and micro-polishing pre-treatment. Especially, the micro-polishing pretreatment was very effective in roughness leveling off the surface of the porous nickel support, and it almost completely plugged the pores. Fine Ni particles filled surface pinholes with could form open structure at the interface of Pd alloy coating and Ni support by their diffusion to the membrane and resintering. In this study, a $4{\mu}m$ surface pore-free Pd-Cu-Ni ternary alloy membrane on a porous nickel substrate was successfully prepared by micro-polishing, high temperature sputtering and Cu-reflow process. And $H_2$ permeation and $N_2$ leak tests showed that the Pd-Cu-Ni ternary alloy hydrogen membrane achieved both high permeability of $13.2ml{\cdot}cm^{-2}{\cdot}min^{-1}{\cdot}atm^{-1}$ permation flux and infinite selectivity.

Methane steam reforming (MSR) was studied in a membrane reactor (MR) with a Pd-based and a porous alumina membranes. MRs showed methane conversion higher than that foresaw by the thermodynamic equilibrium for a traditional reactor (TR). Silica membranes prepared at KRICT were characterized with permeation tests on single gases ($N_2$, $H_2$ and $CH_4$). These silica membranes can be also used for high temperature applications such as $H_2$ separation $CO_2$ hydrogenation for methanol production is another reaction where $H_2O$ selective removal can be performed with these silica membranes.

ZIF 재료는 독특한 기체 분리 특성을 포함한 물리적, 화학적 특성 때문에 큰 관심을 받아왔다. 본 연구에서는 ${\alpha}$-alumina 지지체 위에 결함 없고 연속적인 ZIF-7 막을 형성하는 새롭고 효율적인 방법이 연구되었다. 지지체 위에 시딩(seeding)을 하지 않고 직접 ZIF-7 박막을 합성하는데 정전분무법이 처음으로 적용되었다. 이 방법은 전구체 용액을 직접 정전분무함으로 ${\alpha}$-alumina 지지체에 ZIF-7 박막을 형성할 수 있었다. ZIF-7 박막은 XRD, FE-SEM, 단일 기체 투과 장치 등을 이용해 분석하였다.
