Simulated waste-derived synthesis gas has been tested for hydrogen production through water-gas shift (WGS) reaction over supported Cu catalysts prepared by co-precipitation method. $CeO_2$, $ZrO_2$, MgO, and $Al_2O_3$ were employed as supports for WGS reaction in this study. $Cu-CeO_2$ catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity as well as 100% $CO_2$ selectivity for WGS in severe conditions ($GHSV=40,206h^{-1}$ and CO concentration = 38.0%). In addition, $Cu-CeO_2$ catalyst showed stable CO conversion for 20h without detectable catalyst deactivation. The high activity and stability of $Cu-CeO_2$ catalyst are correlated to its easier reducibility, high oxygen mobility/storage capacity of $CeO_2$.

Global efforts are focused on achieving carbon neutrality due to the increases in the levels of greenhouse gases. Moreover, the greenhouse gases generated from the disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) are the primary sources of emissions in South Korea. In this study, we conducted the biological conversion of syngas (CO, H₂, and CO₂) generated from MSW gasification. The MSW-derived syngas was used as a feed source for cultivating Eubacterium limosum KIST612, and pressurization was employed to enhance gas solubility in culture broth. However, the pH of the medium decreased owing to the pressurization because of the CO₂ in the syngas and the cultivation-associated organic acid production. The replacement of conventional HEPES buffer with a phosphate buffer led to an approximately 2.5-fold increase in acetic acid concentration. Furthermore, compared with the control group, the pressurized reactor exhibited a maximum 8.28-fold increase in the CO consumption rate and a 3.8-fold increase in the H2 consumption rate.

최근 탄소중립과 관련하여 연소 시 이산화탄소 배출이 없어 청정한 수소에너지에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 수소 생산에 관련된 연구가 계속되고 있으며 본 연구에서는 폐기물을 처리함과 동시에 고순도 수소를 생산하기 위해 폐기물 유래 합성가스를 수성가스전이반응에 적용하였다. 마그네슘을 세륨과 함께 지지체로 사용하여 고온수성가스전이(HT-WGS)반응에서 촉매의 활성을 향상시키고자 하였다. HT-WGS 반응의 활성물질로 구리를 사용해 Cu-CeO₂-MgO 촉매를 제조하였으며, 제조방법에 따른 촉매활성 연구를 진행하였다. HT-WGS 반응 결과 함침법으로 제조된 Cu-CeO₂-MgO 촉매가 가장 높은 활성을 보였으며, 이는 가장 높은 산소 저장능과 많은 활성 Cu 종을 가지는 특성에 기인한 결과이다.
