바이오 디젤은 석유기반 연료들을 대신할 수 있는 대체연료일 뿐만 아니라 재생가능자원으로부터 얻을 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 바이오 디젤은 동 식물성 유지를 이용해서 알코올과 촉매 존재하에서 제조되며, 주로 KOH, NaOH 등 균질촉매를 이용하여 제조하는데 이는 폐수 발생이 많고 공정 비용이 많이 든다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 최근에는 폐기물 발생이 없고 촉매의 제거가 편리한 비균질촉매의 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 NaX 제올라이트 촉매에 KOH를 담지시켜 염기도의 증가에 따라 바이오디젤의 제조특성에 미치는 촉매특성을 조사해 보았다. NaX 제올라이트 촉매에 KOH 담지량이 증가와 반응시간이 증가함에 따라 바이오디젤 생성량은 증가하였다.

The corrosion characteristics of zirconium alloys have been investigated in various aqueous solutions of LiOH. NaOH, KOH, RbOH. and CsOH at 3S$0^{\circ}C$. The concentrations of solutions were set to 4.3 mmol and 32.Smmol with equimolar $M^+$ and OH . The oxide characterization was performed using TEM on the samples corroded in 32. Smmol LiOH, NaOH, and KOH solution. The samples were prepared to have the same oxide thickness for the pretransition and post- transition regimes. Considering the trend of experimental data, the cation would playa major role in the corrosion process of Zr alloys in alkali hydroxide solutions. The microstructures of the oxides formed in various solutions were quite different. In LiOH solution the oxides grown in pre-transition as well as post-transition had the equiaxed structures with many pores and open grain boundaries. The oxides grown in NaOH solution had the protective columnar structures in pre-transition and the equiaxed structures with many open grain boundaries in post- transition. On the other hand. in KOH solution the columnar structure was maintained from pre- transition to post- transition. It was considered that the cation incorporation into zirconium oxide controlled the oxide characteristics and the corrosion acceleration in alkali hydroxide solutions.

To recycle raw fly ash (RFA), a waste from thermal power plants, it was used to prepare solid catalysts which have many advantages compared with homogenous catalysts. When biodiesel was produced from soybean oil using RFA, only 1.2% of biodiesel conversion was obtained. A metal hydroxide, NaOH, KOH or $Ca(OH)_2$, was mixed with the acid-treated fly ash (ATFA), and the mixture was calcined at $700^{\circ}C$ for 3 h to prepare the solid catalyst. The solid catalyst prepared by mixing ATFA with NaOH, designated as SC-Na, showed a better performance than those prepared by mixing ATFA with KOH or $Ca(OH)_2$, respectively. The optimal mass ratio of ATFA with NaOH was 1:3, at which the proportion of $Na_2O$ increased to 60.2% in SC-Na, and 97.8% of biodiesel conversion was achieved under optimal reaction conditions (2 w% SC-Na relative to oil and 5 mL-methanol/g-oil at $50^{\circ}C$ for 4 h). Finally, a batch operation was repeatedly carried out to test the feasibility of reusing the solid catalyst, and more than 96% biodiesel conversion was stably achieved for the third round of operations. This study shows that RFA was successfully recycled to solid catalysts through a simple preparation method, and the solid catalyst was reused for the production of biodiesel with high conversion.

Hydro-thermal liquefaction technology for rapeseed straws was investigated the biomass conversion rate with different catalysts and reaction temperatures. NaOH and KOH were used for catalysts, and the reaction temperature were ranged from 180 to $320^{\circ}C$ at every $20^{\circ}C$ of intervals for 10 minutes. The reaction was carried out in a 5,000 mL liquefaction system with dispenser and external electrical furnace. Raw materials (160g), 2,000 mL of distilled water and 10% (wt/wt) of catalyst to plant residue were fed into the reactor. It was observed that the maximum crude oil yield was about 36% at temperature range, $260{\sim}280^{\circ}C$ with KOH and at $300^{\circ}C$ with NaOH, respectively. It was observed that the more calorific values of crude oil, the higher reaction temperature with KOH, but it had the reverse pattern in NaOH.

There is a lot of interest in methods for pollutants using adsorption, and recent research is being conducted to show that biochar can be used to remove organic and inorganic pollutants. In particular, wood waste as waste biomass requires a biomass recycling method, and a method to increase the adsorption capacity of biochar produced using wood waste is needed. Biochar is created by Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) using, which uses low temperature and high pressure, has low energy consumption and does not require moisture removal pretreatment, and biochar is created through chemical activation using KOH, NaOH, and ZnCl₂ chemicals. The adsorption characteristics of biochar were determined by analyzing iodine adsorptivity, specific surface area, pore diameter, pore volume, pore distribution, and SEM according to the activation. The results of analyzing the selecting biochar by activating the biochar produced at HTC 300℃, 4 hr by KOH, NaOH, and ZnCl₂ chemicals, the specific surface area was 774~1.387 m²/g, showing a high specific surface area similar to activated carbon, and it was confirmed that micropores with an average pore diameter in the range of 21~24 Å were formed. As a result of SEM observation, the surface was uniform with a certain shape depending on activation. It was confirmed that one pore was developed and the number of pores increased.

To produce biodiesel efficiently from fish oil containing 4% free fatty acid, esterification and trans-esterification were carried out with Vietnam catfish oil, which was kindly provided from GS-bio company. Heterogeneous solid acid catalysts such as Amberlyst-15 and Amberlyst BD-20 and sulfuric acid as homogeneous acid catalyst were used for the esterification of free fatty acids in the fish oil. Sulfuric acid showed the highest removal efficiency of free fatty acid and the shortest reaction time among three acid catalysts. The base catalysts for trans-esterification such as KOH, $NaOCH_3$ and NaOH were compared with each other and KOH was determined to be the best transesterification catalyst. Some solid material, which assumed to be saponified product from glycerol and biodiesel, were observed to form in the fish oil biodiesel when using $NaOCH_3$ and NaOH as the transesterification catalyst. The initial acid value of fish oil was proven to have a negative effect on biodiesel conversion. Of the three catalysts, KOH catalyst transesterification was shown to have high content of FAME and the optimal ratio of methanol/oil ratio was identified to be 9:1.

In this study, effect of types and replacement ratio of alkali activator on compressive strength of ground granulated blast furnace slag mortar has been reviewed. Types of alkali activator are NaOH, $Ca(OH)_2$, $Na_2SO_4$, and KOH. Replacement ratio of alkali activator is 7.5, 10, 12.5, and 15%, respectively. As results, under high temperature curing condition, 1 day compressive strength development with NaOH and KOH was higher than that of $Ca(OH)_2$ and $Na_2SO_4$. Regardless of types of alkali activator, compressive strength increased with increasing pH. This can be explained by the fact that impermeable film on the surface of slag which is generated when slag contacts water has been destroyed by alkali activator, and this promotes hydration reaction. Also, 1 day age compressive strength of specimen with high temperature curing was higher than that of specimen with standard curing. 28 days age compressive strength of specimen with high temperature curing was less than or equal to that of specimen with standard curing.

Activated carbons were prepared from waste citrus peels using KOH, NaOH, and $ZnCl_2$ as activating chemicals. They were prepared at optimal conditions including the chemical ratio of 300%, activation time of 1.5h, and activation temperature of $900^{\circ}C$ for KOH, $700^{\circ}C$ for NaOH, and $600^{\circ}C$ for $ZnCl_2$, which were named as ACK, ACN, and ACZ, respectively. Using the activated carbons, their adsorption characteristics for three target gases such as acetone, benzene, and methylmercaptan (MM) were carried out in a batch reactor. The adsorption behavior of activated carbons for three target gases followed the Freundlich model better than the Langmuir. And the experimental kinetic data followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model more than pseudo-first-order one. Following the intraparticle diffusion model suggested that the external mass transfer and particle diffusion were occurred simultaneously during the adsorption process.
