Effects of various types of zeolite on the catalytic performance of hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of bio-oil obtained from waste larch wood pyrolysis were investigated herein. Bifunctional catalysts were prepared via wet impregnation. The catalysts were characterized through XRD, BET, and SEM. Experimental results demonstrated that HDO enhanced the fuel properties of waste wood bio-oil, such as higher heating values (HHV) (20.4-28.3 MJ/kg) than bio-oil (13.7 MJ/kg). Water content (from 19.3 in bio-oil to 3.1-16.6 wt% in heavy oils), the total acid number (from 150 in bio-oil to 28-77 mg KOH/g oil in heavy oils), and viscosity (from 103 in bio-oil to $40-69mm^2/s$ in heavy oils) also improved post HDO. In our experiments, depending on the zeolite support, NiFe/HBeta exhibited a high Si/Al ratio of 38 with a high specific surface area ($545.1m^2/g$), and, based on the yield of heavy oil (18.3-18.9 wt%) and HHV (22.4-25.2 MJ/kg), its performance was not significantly affected by temperature and solvent concentration variations. In contrast, NiFe/zeolite Y, which had a low Si/Al ratio of 5.2, exhibited the highest improved quality for heavy oil at high temperature, with an HHV of 28.3 MJ/kg at $350^{\circ}C$ with 25 wt% of solvent.

The catalytic activity of Ni-0.2%YSZ (Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia) with different promoters was evaluated for $CO_2$ methanation. The catalysts were weighed for mixing and they were dried at $110^{\circ}C$ for molding into disks. The concentration of $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ for conducting of $CO_2$ methanation were analyzed by gas chromatography and the physical characteristics of the disk-type catalyst formed were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer. The addition of $CeO_2$ as a promoter for Ni-0.2%YSZ (denoted as Ni-5%Ce-0.2%YSZ) resulted in the highest $CO_2$ methanation. It also showed catalytic activity at a low temperature($200^{\circ}C$). Following this, $ZrO_2$, $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$ and $TiO_2$ were added to Ni-5%Ce-0.2%YSZ to compare the $CO_2$ methanation, and the highest efficiency was found for. Ni-1%Ti-5%Ce-0.2%YSZ Then, the concentration of Ti was increased to 10% and the catalytic activity was estimated using seven different types of commercial $TiO_2$. In conclusion, ST-01 $TiO_2$ showed the highest efficiency for $CO_2$ methanation.

본 연구에서는 금속담지촉매출 이용한 수첨탈염소화 반응에 의하여 절연유에 포함된 PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls)의 무해화를 통한 절연유의 재이용 가능성을 고찰하였다. 금속담지촉매로는 0.98 wt% Pt 및 0.79 wt% Pd가 알루미나에 담지 되어 있는 촉매와 12.8 wt%의 Ni이 알루미나에 담지된 촉매 및 57.6 wt%의 Ni이 실리카-알루미나에 담지되어 있는 촉매를 이용하였다. 반응매질로서 생성물과의 분리의 용이성 및 환경측면을 고려하여 초임계이산화탄소, 초임계프로판 및 초임계이소부탄 등 초임계유체를 이용하였다. 수첨탈염소화 후 잔류 PCBs는 전자포획형 검출기가 장착되어 있는 가스크로마토그래피를 이용하여 분석하였다. 반응온도, 반응시간, 촉매 종류 및 초임계유체가 절연유 내 포함된 PCBs의 수첨탈염소반응에 미치는 영향을 자세히 조사하였다. 용매를 사용하지 않을 경우 탈염소화반응은 Ni > Pd > Pt의 순으로 빠르게 진행되었으며 이는 담지된 금속의 양 및 금속입자의 크기에 기인한 것으로 생각된다. 반응온도가 $175^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 초임계이산화탄소가 탈염소화반응에 가장 효과적인 매질인 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 이온교환법을 통해 Ni촉매를 담지한 저등급 석탄(인도네시아 Eco탄)과 바이오매스(대한민국 상록수)의 혼합물로부터 제조된 촤(char)를 $700{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ 등온조건에서 온도가 반응속도에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. $Char-CO_2$ 가스화 반응은 700, 750, 800, 850, $900^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 진행하였으며, 기-고체 반응의 가스화 거동특성을 알아보기 위하여 각각 다른 가정을 갖고 있는 shrinking core model(SCM), volumetric reaction model(VRM), random pore model(RPM), modified volumetric reaction model(MVRM)을 실험결과에 적용하여 비교하였다. Arrhenius equation를 이용하여 Ni-coal/biomass와 Non-catalyst coal/biomass의 활성화에너지를 구하였고 이를 비교하였다.
