Pt-Ru and Pt-Ni bimetallic catalysts were prepared and tested for heavy hydrocarbon reforming. Metals were supported on CGO($Ce_{0.8}Gd_{0.2}O_{2.0-x}$) by incipient wetness method. The prepared catalysts were characterized by Temperature programmed reduction(TPR). Oxidative steam reforming of n-dodecane was conducted to compare the activity of the catalysts. The reforming temperature was varied from $500^{\circ}C$ to $800^{\circ}C$ at fixed $O_2$/C of 0.3, $H_2O$/C of 3.0 and GHSV of 5,000/h.Reduction peaks of metal oxide, surface CGO and bulk CGO were detected. Reduction temperature of metal oxide decreased over the bi-metallic catalysts. It is considered that interaction between metals leads to decrease interaction between metal and oxygen. On the other hands, reduction temperatures of surface CGO were dectected in the order of Pt-Ru > Pt-Ni > Pt. low reduction temperatures of surface CGO indicates the low activation energy for oxygen ion conduction to metal. Oxygen ion conduction is known as de-coking mechanism of ionic conducting supports such as CGO. In activity test, fuel conversion was in the same order of Pt-Ru > Pt-Ni > Pt. Especially, 100% of fuel conversion was obtained over Pt-Ru catalysts at $500^{\circ}C$.

Fischer Tropsch reaction is one of the interesting topic for renewable and clean energy. Polymerization of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide with hydrogen over metal supported catalyst can produce long chain hydrocarbons. Synthetic liquid hydrocarbons are promising alternative to fossil fuels. This research work has been focused on the synthesis of Fe based catalyst for Fischer Tropsch reaction. Mesoporous silica (MS) support prepared by a precipitation method using two different washing solution, distilled water (DW) and acid in ethanol solution (ET), and different calcination temperature. Then, Fe/MS was prepared by an incipient wetness impregnation method. All of samples were systematically characterized using various physical and chemical techniques. TEM and XRD analysis were used to ensure that the cubic Ia3d mesostructure is stable after calcination. FTIR spectra are useful to ascertain the existence of template in the support. TPR studies were also used to understand the nature of Fe species and their reducibility. The results reveal that washing the support with distilled water and calcination at $550^{\circ}C$ can efficiently remove the triblock copolymer templates. The existence of template in the support affects the textural properties of all catalyst investigated.

This study has been focused on the partial oxidation(POX) of n-octane over Rh-containing catalysts supported on alumina. The catalysts for this reaction were prepared by incipient wetness(IW) and co-gel(CG) methods, followed by the calcination at $900{\circ}C$ or $1,200{\circ}C$. When applied to the POX of n-octane carried out at $600{\circ}C$ with C/O=3 and GHSV=3,450/h, the catalyst prepared by the CG method and calcined at $1,200{\circ}C$ showed the best activity, yielding 42% syngas($H_2$+CO) with the $H_2$/CO ratio of $2{\sim}2.4$. To enhance the activity and stability of catalysts, bimetallic catalysts were synthesized by the CG method. As a result, the performance of Rh-Ni/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst was superior to that of Rh/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst in terms of the catalyst stability, due to the retarding effect on the Rh-to-$Rh_2O_3$ transition by the addition of Ni. This result was confirmed by XRD, TEM, and TPR characterizations.

본 연구는 $Co-CeO_2$ 촉매의 $N_2O$ 분해 반응에서 촉매의 제조 방법이 활성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. $Co-CeO_2$ 촉매는 공침법(Co-precipitation)과 함침법(Incipient wetness impregnation)으로 제조하였다. 제조된 촉매의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 $N_2O$ 직접 촉매 분해(Direct catalytic $N_2O$ decomposition) 반응을 $250{\sim}375^{\circ}C$에서 실시하였다. 그 결과 공침법으로 제조된 촉매(CoCe-CP)는 $O_2$ 및/또는 $H_2O$의 존재 하에서도 $N_2O$ 분해 반응에서 향상된 성능을 보인 반면에 함침법으로 제조된 촉매(CoCe-IM)는 그렇지 못하였다. 이러한 촉매 활성의 차이를 조사하기 위하여 XRD, BET, TEM, $H_2-TPR$, $O_2-TPD$ 그리고 XPS와 같은 촉매 특성 분석들을 진행하였다. 촉매의 제조 방법에 따라서 입자의 크기 및 표면적이 변화하는 것을 확인하였고 합성 과정이 촉매의 물리적 특성에 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 공침법으로 제조된 촉매의 활성 증가는 $Co^{3+}{\rightarrow}Co^{2+}$의 향상된 환원 특성 및 산소 탈착 속도 향상에 기인한 것으로 여겨진다. 하지만, $N_2O$ 분해와 관련이 있는 촉매의 표면 전하 상태 및 결합에너지는 제조 방법에 따라서 변하지 않는 것을 확인하였다.

The present work has been devoted to the catalytic reduction of $N_2O$ by $H_2$ with $Pt/SiO_2$ catalysts at very low temperatures, such as $110^{\circ}C$, and their nanoparticle sizes have been determined by using $H_2-N_2O$ titration, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM) measurements. A sample of 1.72% $Pt/SiO_2$, which had been prepared by an ion exchange method, consisted of almost atomic levels of Pt nanoparticles with 1.16 nm that are very consistent with the HRTEM measurements, while a $Pt/SiO_2$ catalyst possessing the same Pt amount via an incipient wetness technique did 13.5 nm particles as determined by the XRD measurements. These two catalysts showed a noticeable difference in the on-stream $deN_2O$ activity maintenance profiles at $110^{\circ}C$. This discrepancy was associated with the nanoparticle sizes, i.e., the $Pt/SiO_2$ catalyst with the smaller particle size was much more active for the $N_2O$ reduction. When repeated measurements of the $N_2O$ reduction with the 1.16 nm Pt catalyst at $110^{\circ}C$ were allowed, the catalyst deactivation occurred, depending somewhat on regeneration excursions.

The effect of Ce promotion over 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts on the CO conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity was investigated in preferential CO oxidation (PrOx) to reduce the CO concentration less than 10 ppm in excess $H_2$ stream for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Ce-promoted 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method and the loading amount of Pt was fixed at 1wt%. The content of Ce promoter which has excellent oxygen storage and transfer capability due to the redox property was adjusted from 0 to 1.5wt%. Ce-promoted 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts exhibit high CO conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity at low temperatures below $150^{\circ}C$ due to the improvement of reducibility of surface PtOx species compared with the 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst without Ce addition. When Ce content was more than 1wt%, the catalytic activity was decreased at over $160^{\circ}C$ in PrOx because of competitive $H_2$ oxidation. As a result, 0.5wt% Ce is optimal content not only to achieve high catalytic activity and good stability at low temperatures below $150^{\circ}C$ in the presence of $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ but also to minimize the $H_2$ oxidation at high temperatures.

The impregnated activated carbons were prepared by the incipient wetness method with the contents of $KIO_3$ varied from 1.0${\sim}$10 wt% as the impregnation material. The specific surface area and micropore volume of the rice hulls activated carbon were $2,600{\sim}2,800$ $m^2$/g and 1.1${\sim}$1.4 cc/g, respectively. With increasing the contents of impregnation materials, the surface area and micropore volume decreased by 3${\sim}$21%. However, The amounts of hydrogen sulfide adsorbed increased by 2.1${\sim}$2.8 times depending on the impregnation content. The optimum contents of $KIO_3$ were 2.4 wt%. Although the breakthrough time and adsorption capacity of hydrogen sulfide decreased with increasing temperature in the case of the unimpregnated activated carbons, they increased by 1.2${\sim}$ 3.2 times for the case of the impregnated activated carbons. The optimum aspect ratio(L/D) was 1.0 and the adsorption amount of hydrogen sulfide enhanced with increasing the gas flow rate. The regeneration temperature was determined as 400$^{\circ}C$ from the TGA experiment. The adsorption capacity of hydrogen sulfide with the impregnated activated carbon decreased gradually as the regeneration continued. The hydrogen sulfide adsorption amount of the regenerated activated carbon up to 4 times was still higher than that of the unimpregnated activated carbon.

In this study, catalyst was made through incipient wetness method using palladium (Pd) as noble metal, indium (In) as secondary metal, and montmorillonite (MK10) and Al pillared montmorillonite (Al-MK10) as supporters. The nitrate reduction rate of the catalysts was measured by batch experiments where H2 gas was used as reducing agent and formic acid as pH controller. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were all used to determine the elemental distribution of Pd, In, Al, and Si on catalysts. It was observed that Al pillaring increased the Al/Si elemental composition ratio and point of zero charge of MK10, but decreased its BET specific surface area and pore volume. The nitrate reduction rate of Al-MK10 Pd/In was 2.0 ~ 2.5 times higher than that of MK10 Pd/In using artificial groundwater (GW) in ambient temperature and pressure. Nitrate reduction rates in GW were 1.2 ~ 1.7 times lower than those in distilled deionized water (DDW). Nitrate reduction rates in acidic conditions were higher than those in neutral condition in both GW and DDW. The amount of produced NH3-N over degraded NO3- at acid conditions was lower than that of neutral condition. Even though the leaching of Pd after reaction was measured in DDW it was not detected when both Al-MK10 Pd/In and MK10 Pd/In were used in GW. The modification of montmorillonite as a supporter significantly increased the reductive catalytic activities of nitrates. However, the ratio of producing ammonia by-products to degraded nitrates in ambient temperature and pressure was similar.

본 연구에서는 높은 열전도성을 갖는 금속-세라믹 core-shell 구조의 CoAl₂O₄@Al 복합체를 Al 금속의 수열반응을 통하여 합성하고, 이를 Rh 촉매의 담지체로 적용하여 구조적, 촉매화학적 특성을 분석하였다. Rh/CoAl₂O₄@Al (3 wt% Rh) 촉매는 단순침적법(incipient wetness impregnation)으로 제조하였고, 특성의 비교평가를 위하여 공침법(co-precipitation)으로 합성한 CoAl₂O₄를 담지체로 하여 Rh/CoAl₂O₄ (3 wt% Rh) 촉매를 단순침적법으로 제조하였다. 이들 촉매들은 N₂ 흡착, XRD, 전자 주사현미경, temperature programmed reduction (TPR), CO 화학흡착 분석을 통해서 그 특성을 분석하였고, 글리세롤 수증기 개질 반응(550 ℃)을 통한 수소전환반응에 적용하여 촉매적 특성을 평가하고 분석하였다. 글리세롤 수증기 개질반응에 대하여 Rh/CoAl₂O₄@Al 촉매는 Rh/CoAl₂O₄ 촉매에 비하여 약 2.8배 높은 글리세롤 전환 turnover frequency (TOF)를 보여주었고, 이는 높은 열전도성을 갖는 금속-세라믹 복합체를 통한 원활한 반응열의 전달에 기인한 것으로 분석되었다. CoAl₂O₄@Al 및 CoAl₂O₄ 담지체에서도 환원에 의하여 노출된 일부 Co 금속에 의한 촉매적 활성이 관찰되었는데, Rh/CoAl₂O₄@Al과 Rh/CoAl₂O₄ 촉매에서와 마찬가지로 core-shell 구조체인 CoAl₂O₄@Al이 CoAl₂O₄ 보다 높은 촉매적 활성을 보였다. 그러나, 이들 촉매는 글리세롤 개질반응에서 비교적 높은 비활성화를 보여주었고 이는 촉매표면의 탄소침적(coking)에 기인한 것으로 판명되었다.

본 연구에서는 $Ni/Al_2O_3$ 촉매를 사용한 에틸렌글리콜의 수증기 개질반응에서 제조 방법에 따른 영향을 알아보았다. 촉매들은 건식 함침법, 습식 함침법 그리고 공침법을 사용하여 제조하였다. 공침법을 사용하여 촉매 제조시 침전제를 KOH, $K_2CO_3$, $NH_4OH$를 각각 사용하여 침전제에 따른 영향 또한 알아보았다. 제조한 촉매들은 질소 물리흡착, 유도결합 플라즈마 질량분석법(ICP-AES), X선 회절법(XRD), 수소 승온 환원법(TPR), 수소 화학흡착, 승온 산화법(TPO), 주사전자현미경(SEM), 열분석법(TGA)을 사용하여 촉매의 물리화학적인 특성을 분석하였다. 773 K에서 환원한 촉매의 경우 KOH 혹은 $K_2CO_3$를 침전제로 사용하여 공침법으로 제조한 촉매가 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. 촉매 제조 방법은 Ni의 입자크기, Ni 산화물의 환원도, 반응에서의 활성과 안정성, 반응 중 탄소 침적의 형태 등에 영향을 끼치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. KOH를 침전제로 사용하여 공침법으로 제조한 촉매의 경우 환원온도를 773~1173 K까지 증가시켰을 때, Ni 입자크기의 증가에도 불구하고 Ni 산화물의 환원도가 증가하므로 반응활성이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.
