The bunsen reaction, part of IS(Iodine-sulfur) cycle that one of the hydrogen production by the thermochemical water splitting, was investigated. It was observed that $H_2SO_4$ was uniformly generated and generation of $H_2SO_4$ was independent of iodine input. However, generation of HI was decreased with increasing iodine input. It was thought that HI and unreacted iodine were formed complex compound such as $HI_3$ $HI_5$ or $HI_7$. The complex compound accelerated liquid-liquid separation properties in the product. It was also revealed that reaction kinetics was increased with increasing iodine input. Liquid-liquid separation properties were improved with increasing iodine input and reaction temperature. Moreover, no side reaction was occurred at all reaction conditions.

This study was conducted to know to the effect of Pd film($180{\AA}$ thick) evaporation condition on the kinetics of hydrogen absorption-desorption. The activation energy of the forward reaction, the activation energy of the backward reaction, and the enthalpy were calculated by hydrogen absorption-desorption in ${\alpha}$-phase.($25{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ temperature) The activation energy of the forward reaction of Pd film, which is made at room temperature, is $6.4{\pm}0.4$ kcal/mol H and of the backward reaction $8.4{\pm}1.5$ kcal/mol H, which yields the reaction enthalpy -2kcal/mol H. The activation energy of forward reaction of Pd film, which is made at $300^{\circ}C$, is $-0.18{\pm}0.61$ kcal/mol H and of the backward reaction $-0.17{\pm}2.3$ kcal/mol H. The sample of $300^{\circ}C$ is more stable than the sample of room temperature in its struciural compactness and resistance value but standard error of result of $300^{\circ}C$ sample is higher than sample of room temperature do.

Pyroprocessing uses various molten salts during electrochemical unit processes. Reaction products after the electrochemical processes must contain a significant amount of residual salts to be separated. Vacuum distillation is a common method to separate the residual salts; however, its high operation temperature may cause side reactions. In this study, a simple rotation technique using centrifugal force was suggested to separate the residual salts from the reaction products at relatively low temperature compared to the distillation technique. When a reaction product container with porous wall rotates inside a vessel heated above the melting point of the residual salt, the residual salt in the liquid phase is separated through centrifugal force. It was shown that the $LiNO_3-Al_2O_3$ mixture can be separated by this technique to leave solid $Al_2O_3$ inside the container, with a separation efficiency of 99.4%.

The activation energy to create a phase transformation or for the reaction to move to the next stage in the milling process can be calculated from the slop of the DSC plot, obtained at the various heating rates for mechanically activated Al-Ni alloy systems by using Kissinger's equation. The mechanically activated material has been called "the driven material" as it creates new phases or intermetallic compounds of AlNi in Al-Ni alloy systems. The reaction time for phase transformation by milling can be calculated using the activation energy obtained from the above mentioned method and from the real required energy. The real required energy (activation energy) could be calculated by subtracting the loss energy from the total input energy (calculated input energy from electric motor). The loss energy and real required energy divided by the reaction time are considered the "metabolic energy" and "the effective input energy", respectively. The milling time for phase transformation at other Al-Co alloy systems from the calculated data of Al-Ni systems can be predicted accordingly.

Quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) calculations of H+HLi reaction have been carried out on a new potential energy surface of the ground state reported by Prudente et al. [Chem. Phys. Lett. 2009, 474, 18]. The four polarization-dependent differential cross sections have been carried out in the center of mass (CM) frame at various collision energies. The reaction probability for the depletion channel has been studied over a wide collision energy range. It has been found that the collision energy decreases remarkably reaction probability, which shows the expected behavior of the title reaction belonging to an exothermic barrierless reaction. The results are in good agreement with previous RMP results. The P(${\theta}_r$), P(${\phi}_r$) and P(${\theta}_r,\;{\phi}_r$) distributions, the k-k'-j' correlation and the angular distribution of product rotational vectors are presented in the form of polar plots. The average rotational alignment factor <$P_2(j{\prime}{\cdot}k)$> as a function of collision energy is also calculated. The results indicate that the collision energy has a great influence on the polarization of the product rotational angular momentum vector j'.

We have calculated the probability of HBr formation and energy disposal of the reaction exothermicity in HBr produced from the reaction of gas-phase bromine with highly covered chemisorbed hydrogen atoms on a Si (001)-(2 ${\times}$1) surface. The reaction probability is about 0.20 at gas temperature 1500 K and surface temperature 300 K. Raising the initial vibrational state of the adsorbate(H)-surface(Si) bond from the ground to v = 1, 2 and 3 states causes the vibrational, translational and rotational energies of the product HBr to increase equally. However, the vibrational and translational motions of product HBr share most of the reaction energy. Vibrational population of the HBr molecules produced from the ground state adsorbate-surface bond ($v_{HSi}$ =0) follows the Boltzmann distribution, but it deviates seriously from the Boltzmann distribution when the initial vibrational energy of the adsorbate-surface bond increases. When the vibration of the adsorbate-surface bond is in the ground state, the amount of energy dissipated into the surface is negative, while it becomes positive as vHSi increases. The energy distributions among the various modes weakly depends on surface temperature in the range of 0-600 K, regardless of the initial vibrational state of H(ad)-Si(s) bond.

In order to improve energy efficiency in the dilute trichloroethylene removal using the nonthermal plasma process, the barrier discharge treatment combined with manganese dioxide was experimentally studied. Reaction kinetics in this process was studied on the basis of final byproducts distribution. Decomposition efficiency was improved to about 99% at the specific energy 40J/L with passing through manganese dioxide. C=C $\pi$ bond cleavage in TCE gave DCAC (single bond, C-C) through oxidation reaction during the barrier discharge plasma treatment. Those DCAC were broken easily in the subsequent catalytic reaction due to the weak bonding energy about 3 ~ 4 eV compared with the double bonding energy in TCE molecules. Oxidation byproducts of DCAC and TCAA from TCE decomposition are generated from the barrier discharge plasma treatment and catalytic surface chemical reaction, respectively. Complete oxidation of TCE into $CO_X$ is required to about 400J/L.

The present paper discusses about noble idea on various reactions including hydrides, hydrogen peroxide and nano-sized metal powders, which do not emit toxic materials as well as carbon dioxide. Here in this paper, the very first-ever concept that heat energy can be generated from the direct reaction between sodium borohydride and hydrogen peroxide is presented. Sodium hydride as fuel can supply hydrogen reacting with oxygen provided by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide solution. Solid sodium borohydride can be resolved in water and treated as liquid solution for the easy handling and the practical usage although its solid powder can be directly mixed with hydrogen peroxide for the higher reactivity. The thermodynamic analysis was conducted to estimate adiabatic reaction temperatures from these materials. The preliminary experiment on the reactions conducted using sodium borohydride powder and hydrogen peroxide water solution revealed that the self-propagating reaction can occur and that its reactivity increases with an increase of hydrogen peroxide concentration.

In this study, the fatty acid methyl ester was prepared from the vegetable oil by inducing ultrasound energy. The ultrasound energy was applied to the esterification reaction for heating and stirring effects. Ultrasonic induction results in the shortened reaction time and brings the increase of the methyl ester yield. However, the continuous introduction of ultrasound during the esterification reaction results in temperature increase, then the over-heating of reaction temperature was ineffective. Therefore, the system temperature was controlled at constant temperature state with the cooling circulation. The ultrasound induction reaction had the fatty acid methyl ester yield of 93% at the reaction time was 30 minutes, faster than the traditional esterification process.

The reaction of 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenl methane (4,4'-DPM) with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) catalyzed by triethylbenzyl ammonium chloride (TEBAC) has been studied for the purpose of synthesis of electron beam curable prepolymer. The reaction was in good agreement with third-order kinetics. according to -d[GMA]/dt=k[TEBAC][DPM][GMA] and the apparent activation energy was about 33.4kca1/mole. However, the reaction rates were increased if tile reaction proceeded after the mixtures exposed to air for 24 hrs at room temperature. The effects of the catalyst and the difference in the reactivity between 2.2'-DPM to GMA were discussed. The plausible reaction mechanism was proposed on basis of experimental data obtained.
