Boron carbide thin coatings were deposited on silicon wafers by DC magnetron sputtering using a $B_4C$ target with As as processing gas. Various amounts of methane gas $(CH_4)$ were added in the deposition process to better understand their influence on tribological properties of the coatings. Reciprocating wear tests employing an oscillating friction wear tester were performed to investigate the tribological behaviors of the coatings in ambient environment. The chemical characteristics of the coatings and worn surfaces were studied using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). It revealed that $CH_4$ addition to As processing gas strongly affected the tribologcal properties of sputtered boron carbide coating. The coefficient of friction was reduced approximately from 0.4 to 0.1, and wear resistance was improved considerably by increasing the ratio of $CH_4$, gas component from 0 to $1.2\;vol\;\%$. By adding a sufficient amount of $CH_4\;(1.2\%)$ in the deposition process, the boron carbide coating exhibited lowest friction and highest wear resistance.

Anode off-gas of high temperature fuel cells such as MCFC contains a significant amount of combustible components like hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane according to fuel utilization ratio of the fuel cell stack. Thus, it is important to fully burn anode off-gas and utilize the generated heat in order to increase system efficiency and reduce emissions as well. In the present study, 25 kW catalytic combustor has been developed for the application to a load-following 300kW MCFC system. Mixing and combustion characteristics have been experimentally investigated with the catalytic combustor. Since the performance of catalytic combustor directly depends on the combustion catalyst, this study has been focused on the experimental investigation on the combustion characteristics of multiple catalysts having different structures and compositions. Results show that the exhaust emissions are highly dependent on the catalyst loading and the ratio of catalytic components. Test results at load-following conditions are also shown in the present study.

CH4/CO2 dry reforming was carried out to make syn gas on the Ni/Al2O3 catalysts calcined at different temperatures. The Ni/Al2O3 (850 $^{\circ}C)$ catalyst gave good activity and stability w hereas the Ni/Al2O3 $(450^{\circ}C)$ catalyst showed lower activity and stability. The NiO/Al2O3 catalyst calcined at $850^{\circ}C$ for 16 h (Ni/Al2O3 $(850^{\circ}C))$ formed the spinel structure of nickel aluminate, which was confirmed by TPR. The carbon formation rate on the Ni/Al2O3 $(850^{\circ}C)$ catalyst was very low till 20 h, and then steeply increased with reaction time without decreasing the activity for CH4 reforming. The Ni/Al2O3 $(450^{\circ}C)$ catalyst showed high carbon formation rate at the initial reaction time and then, the rate nearly stopped with continuous decreasing the activity for CH4 reforming. Even though the amount of carbon deposition on the Ni/Al2O3 $(850^{\circ}C)$ catalyst was higher than that on the Ni/Al2O3 $(450^{\circ}C)$ catalyst, the activity for CH4ing was also high, which could be attributed to the different type of the carbon formed on the catalyst surface.

The performances of a coupled reactor in which a steam reformer and a catalytic combustor were mounted simultaneously had been investigated and compared. The combustible offgas exhausted from the anode of SOFC and MCFC were utilized as heat sources for the endothermic steam methane reforming. The catalytic combustion was used in order to burn the combustible offgas. Thermal energy released by the catalytic combustion is directly transferred to the reformer surrounding the combustor. The various operational conditions such as fuel utilization rate, steam to carbon ratio, amount of catalysts, fuel cell loads were changed. And operating variables were comprehensively identified by sensitivity analysis. The fundamental results from this experimental study show the potential abilities of the coupled reactor. Therefore the results will be of help to design and manufacture the more better coupled reactor in the future.

Synthesis of perfluoromethanesulfonyl fluoride(PFMSF) which is a valuable precursor of perfluoro-chemicals such as surface modifier and fine chemicals was studied by electrochemical fluorination (ECF). In order to determine the termination of preelectrolysis, it was carried to monitor the variation of current during preelectrolysis by means of constant cell voltage operation. In a batch cell, chronopotentiometric electrolysis and various chemical analysis such as GC, GC/MS and If were used to understand the potential change of electrode and synthesis and control of hazardous gases products. Termination of preelectrolysis was determinated by measurement the current and/or detection of $F_2$ gas generation. And during the preelectrolysis, an amount of generated $OF_2$ was shown that a lot of moisture was absorbed from air when a cell was filled with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride( AHF ). Above 4V cell voltage, $F_2$ gas was generated and acted on any form of fluorinating agents. In the ECF of MSC (methane sulfonyl chloride) by constant current operation, the potential of anode was intimately relation with generation of $SO_2F_2$. Exchange of Cl to F was dominatly occured in a initial stage. There were various gaseous products including PFMSF as main product and $C_4$ compounds.

Carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and methane (CH$_4$) are two major greenhouse Bases. $CO_2$is a stack gas of many industrial processes and the main product of the hydrocarbon combustion. There is recent research interest on the synthesis gas (syngas) formation from $CO_2$ and CH$_4$, via the following reaction: CH$_4$+$CO_2$longrightarrow 2H$_2$+$CO_2$, in order to reduce the greenhouse effects and to synthesize various chemicals, Preliminary experiments were conducted on the conversion of $CO_2$ and CH$_4$ to syngas by making use of a microwave plasma torch at atmospheric pressure. Conversion rates of $CO_2$and CH$_4$ to hydrogen (H$_2$), carbon monoxide (CO) and higher hydrocarbons were investigated using Gas Chromatography (GC) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). The experimental data indicate that the main products were H$_2$, CO and small amount of higher hydrocarbons, such as ethylene (C$_2$H$_4$).

Chemical vapor deposition method using $CH_4$ gaseous hydrocarbons is generally used to synthesize large-area graphene. Studies using non-gaseous materials such as ethanol, hexane and camphor have occasionally been conducted. In this study, large-area graphene is synthesized via chemical vapor deposition using polyethylene as a carbon precursor. In particular, we used a poly glove, which is made of low-density polyethylene. The characteristics of the synthesized graphene as functions of the growth time of graphene and the temperature for vaporizing polyethylene are evaluated by optical microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. When the polyethylene vaporizing temperature is over $150^{\circ}C$, large-area graphene with excellent quality is synthesized. Raman spectroscopy shows that the D peak intensity increased and the 2D peak intensity decreased with increasing growth time. The reason for this is that sp3 bonds in the graphene can form when the correct amount of carbon source is supplied. The quality of the graphene synthesized using polyethylene is similar to that of graphene synthesized using methane gas.

인공(人工)슬러지를 이용하여 혐기성중온소화(嫌氣性中溫消和)의 고온소화(高溫消化)에로의 전환방법(轉換方法)에 대하여 연구하였다. 부하(負荷)를 계속하며 온도증가율(溫度增加率) 2, 1 및 $0.5^{\circ}C/day$로 온도를 상승시킨 결과, 온도증가율(溫度增加率) 이 클수록 메탄발효(醱酵)가 급속하게 악화되었으며, 세경우 모두 고온(高溫)에 도달하였을 때는 메탄발효(醱酵)가 중지되고 산발효(酸醱酵)만이 일어났다. 이러한 산발효상태(酸醱酵狀態)에서 부하(負荷)를 끊고 중화(中和)를 행한 후 6개월간(個月間)의 휴지기간중(休止期間中)에도 메탄발효(醱酵)는 이루어지지 않았다. 이로부터 메탄생성균(生成菌) 온도충격(溫度衝擊)의 크기에 비례하여 급속하게 활성(活性)을 잃는 반면 산생성균(酸生性菌)은 영향을 덜 받아 고온하(高溫下)에서 적응될 수 있다고 판단할 수 있다. 반면에 무부하상태하(無負荷狀態下)에서 온도(溫度)를 상승시켰을 때, 정상적(正常的)인 고온소화(高溫消化)가, 온도증가율(溫度增加率) $1^{\circ}C/day$의 경우 고온(高溫)에 도달한 후 1일(日)의 휴지기간(休止期間)으로도 가능하였고 일시(一時)에 상승시킨 경우도 20일간(日間) 휴지기간(休止期間)으로 가능하였다. 따라서 고온(高溫)에로의 전환(轉換)은 무부하상태하(無負荷狀態下)에서 용이(容易)함을 알 수 있는 동시에, 온도증가율(溫度增加率)이 작은 경우 고온(高溫)도달 후 짧은 휴지기간(休止期間)으로 전환(轉換)이 가능하며, 온도증가율(溫度增加率)이 매우 커서 급격한 온도충격(溫度衝擊)이 발생하는 경우에도 메탄생성균(生成菌)이 산생성균(酸生性菌)과 균형을 이루기에 충분한 휴지기간(休止期間)이 주어지면 고온소화(高溫消化)에로의 전환(轉換)이 가능함을 알 수 있다. 한편 산발효상태(酸醱酵狀態)의 고온소화조(高溫消化槽)에 중온소화(中溫消化)슬러지를 식종(植種)한 결과 신속하게 정상정(正常的)인 고온소화(高溫消化)가 이루어질 수 있었다. 따라서 중온소화(中溫消化)슬러지에 의한 식종(植種)은 고온소화(高溫消化)의 초기운전시(初期運轉時)나 정상정(正常的)인 소화(消化)의 정지시(停止時) 매우 유효(有效)한 전환(轉換) 및 회복방법(回復方法)이 될 수 있을 것이다. 또한 온도상승(溫度上昇) 및 중온(中溫)슬러지식종(植種)에 의한 정상정(正常的)인 고온소화결과(高溫消和結果)로부터 중온하(中溫下)에서도 상당량(相當量)의 고온균(高溫菌)이 존재하고 있음을 알 수 있다.
