저온 수성가스전이반응에서 $Cu/ZnO/MgO/Al_2O_3$ (CZMA) 촉매의 마그네슘의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 Cu/Zn/Mg/Al의 비율을 45/45/5/5 mol%로 공침법을 사용하여 제조하였다. 제조된 촉매들은 BET, $N_2O$ 화학흡착, XRD, $H_2-TPR$ and $NH_3-TPD$를 사용하여 분석되었다. 촉매 활성 테스트는 GHSV $28,000h^{-1}$와 온도 범위 $200{\sim}320^{\circ}C$에서 수행되었다. 동일한 조건에서 마그네슘이 첨가된 촉매(CZMA 400)는 가장 낮은 환원 온도를 나타내며 활성종인 $Cu^+$가 안정적으로 존재하고 또한 많은 약산점을 보유하였다. 또한 마그네슘이 첨가된 촉매(CZMA)는 마그네슘이 첨가되지 않은 촉매(CZA)와 비교하였을 때 240 이상의 높은 온도에서 촉매 활성이 증가하였다. CZMA 400 촉매는 최적의 촉매로서 $240^{\circ}C$, GHSV $28,000h^{-1}$에서 75 h 동안 활성의 저하없이 평균 CO 전환율 77.59%를 나타내었다.

Solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) has a higher fuel flexibility than low temperature fuel cells, such as polymer electrolyte fuel cell(PEMFC) and phosphoric acid fuel cell(PAFC). SOFCs also use CO and $CH_4$ as a fuel, because SOFCs are hot enough to allow the CH4 steam reformation(SR) reaction and water-gas shift(WGS) reaction occur within the SOFC stack itself. Diesel is a good candidate for SOFC system fuel because diesel reformate gas include a higher degree of CO and $CH_4$ concentration than other hydrocarbon(methane, butane, etc.) reformate gas. Selection of catalyst for autothermalr reforming of diesel was performed in this paper, and characteristics of reforming performance between packed-bed and microchannel catalyst are compared for SOFC system. The mesh-typed microchannel catalyst also investigated for diesel ATR operation for 1kW-class SOFC system. 1kW-class diesel microchannel ATR was continuously operated about 30 hours and its reforming efficiency was achieved nearly 55%.

Syngas from gasification of coal can be converted to SNG(Synthesis Natural Gas) through gas cleaning, water gas shift, $CO_2$ removal, and methanation. One of the key technologies involved in the production of SNG is the methanation process. In the methanation process, carbon oxide is converted into methane by reaction with hydrogen. Major factors of methanation are hydrogen-carbon oxide ratio, reaction temperature and space velocity. In order to understand the catalytic behavior, temperature programmed surface reaction (TPSR) experiments and reaction in a fixed bed reactor of carbon monoxide have been performed using two commercial catalyst with different Ni contents (Catalyst A, B). In case of catalyst A, CO conversion was over 99% at the temperature range of $350{\sim}420^{\circ}C$ and CO conversions and $CH_4$ selectivity were lower at the space condition over 3000 1/h. In case of catalyst B, CO conversion was 100% at the temperature over $370^{\circ}C$ and CO conversions and $CH_4$ selectivity were lower at the space condition over 4700 1/h. Also, conditions to satisfy $CH_4$ productivity over 500 ml/h.g-cat were over 2000 1/h of space velocity in case of catalyst A and over 2300 1/h of space velocity in case of catalyst B.

본 연구는 수소제조를 위한 에틸렌글리콜 수증기 개질반응에 대한 열역학적 특성 분석을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 온도(300~1,600 K), 반응물 조성비(Steam/Carbon ratio=0.5~4.5), 압력(1~30 기압) 등의 다양한 반응조건을 변화시키면서 열역학적 평형조성 및 효율 등을 조사하였다. 주어진 조건하에서 흡열반응인 개질반응과 발열반응인 수성가스 전환반응 및 메탄화반응간 경쟁특성을 확인하였으며, 반응온도 400 K를 지나면서 수소발생이 관찰되어 500 K를 지나면서 급격한 발생량의 증가를 확인하였다. 반응물 가운데 수증기의 비율을 양론비(S/C=1.0) 이상으로 증가시킬 경우 수성가스 전환반응이 촉진되어 일산화탄소 저감 및 수소발생 증가 거동을 나타내었다. 결과적으로 열역학적 효율감소를 최소화 하면서 수소발생량을 극대화할 수 있는 조건은 반응온도 900 K 이상 및 수증기 대 탄소간 비율이 3.0 이내의 범위에 해당하는 것으로 판단된다.

The metallic nanoparticles (Pt, Au, Ag. Cu, etc.) supported on ceria-titania mixed oxide exhibit a high catalytic activity for the water gas shift reaction ($H_2O\;+\;CO\;{\leftrightarrow}\;H_2\;+\;CO_2$) and the CO oxidation ($O_2\;+\;2CO\;{\leftrightarrow}\;2CO_2$). It has been speculated that the high catalytic activity is related to the easy exchange of the oxidation states of ceria ($Ce^{3+}$ and $Ce^{4+}$) on titania, but very little is known about the ceria titanium interaction, the growth mode of metal on ceria titania complex, and the reaction mechanism. In this work, the growth of $CeO_x$ and Au/$CeO_x$ on rutile $TiO_2$(110) have been investigated by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), Photoelectron Spectroscopy (PES), and DFT calculation. In the $CeO_x/TiO_2$(110) systems, the titania substrate imposes on the ceria nanoparticles non-typical coordination modes, favoring a $Ce^{3+}$ oxidation state and enhancing their chemical activity. The deposition of metal on a $CeO_x/TiO_2$(110) substrate generates much smaller nanoparticles with an extremely high activity. We proposed a mechanism that there is a strong coupling of the chemical properties of the admetal and the mixed-metal oxide: The adsorption and dissociation of water probably take place on the oxide, CO adsorbs on the admetal nanoparticles, and all subsequent reaction steps occur at the oxide-admetal interface.

니켈 촉매 상에서 에탄의 수증기 개질 반응과 수성가스 전환반응 반응에 대한 반응속도 데이터를 얻기 위하여 반응온도와 반응물의 분압을 변화시키면서 반응 실험을 수행하였다. 반응속도 데이터를 사용하여 거듭제곱 속도식 모델(power law kinetic model)과 랭미어-힌쉘우드 모델(Langmuir-Hinshelwood model)의 매개변수를 구하였다. 또한 반응 속도 모델식을 적용하여 PRO/II를 이용한 공정 모사를 통해서 에탄의 수증기 개질 반응기 사이징(sizing)을 수행하였다. 에탄을 반응물로 하여 수증기 개질 반응을 수행한 결과, 단순한 거듭제곱 속도식 모델보다 표면반응에 의하여 반응속도가 결정되는 랭미어-힌쉘우드 모델이 보다 적합하였고, 수성가스 전환반응에 대한 반응속도식은 거듭제곱 속도식 모델이 적합함을 보였다. PRO/II 시뮬레이션을 통해서 수소 생산량에 필요한 반응기의 크기를 결정할 수 있었다.

In this paper, various operating parameters of stream reforming process from methane in stream reformer and preconverter for MCFC is studied by numerical method. Commercial code is used to simulated the porous catalyst with user subroutine to model three dominant chemical reactions which are Stream Reforming(SR), Water-Gas Shift(WGS), and Direct Stram Reforming(DSR). The hydrogen production is tested with different wall temperature and different reactor shapes. The calculated results of the concentration of hydrogen in stream reformer are very well consistent with experimental results. This numerical study gives the design reactor wall temperature condition and size of reactor to satisfy the required fuel conversion.

Heat transfer rate is a very important factor for the performance of a steam reformer because a steam reforming reaction is an endothermic reaction. Coaxial cylindrical reactor is the reactor design which can improve the heat transfer rate. Temperature, fuel conversion and heat flux in the coaxial cylindrical steam reformer are studied in this paper using numerical method under various operating conditions. Langmuir-Hinshelwood model and pseudo-homogeneous model are incorporated for the catalytic surface reaction. Dominant chemical reactions are assumed as a Steam Reforming (SR) reaction, a Water-Gas Shift (WGS) reaction, and a Direct Steam Reforming (DSR) reaction. Although coaxial cylindrical steam reformer uses 33% less amount of catalyst than cylindrical steam reformer, its fuel conversion is increased 10 % more and its temperature is also high as about 30 degree. There is no heat transfer limitation near the inlet area at coaxial-type reactor. However, pressure drop of the coaxial cylindrical reactor is 10 times higher than that of cylindrical reactor. Operating parameters of coaxial cylindrical steam reformer are the wall temperature, the inlet temperature, and the Gas Hourly Space Velocity (GHSV). When the wall temperature is high, the temperature and the fuel conversion are increased due to the high heat transfer rate. The fuel conversion rate is increased with the high inlet temperature. However, temperature drop clearly occurs near the inlet area since an endothermic reaction is active due to the high inlet temperature. When GHSV is increased, the fuel conversion is decreased because of the heat transfer limitation and short residence time.

The study is to analyze the chemical and heat-flow reactions in the hydrogen generation unit(autothermal reformer), using computational numerical tools. Autothermal reformer(ATR) is involved in complex chemical reaction, mass and heat transfer due to exothermic and endothermic reactions. Therefore it is necessary to reveal the effects of various operation parameters and geometries on the ATR performance by using numerical analysis. Numerical analysis needs to dominant chemical reactions that includes Full Combustion(FC) reaction, Steam Reforming(SR) reaction, Water-Gas Shift(WGS) reaction and Direct Steam Reforming(DSR) reaction. The objective of the study is to improve theoretically the reformer design capability for the goal of high hydrogen production in the autothermal reformer using methane. Hydrogen production reached maximum in a certain value of Oxygen to Carbon Ratio(OCR) or Steam to Carbon Ratio(SCR). When the longitudinal distance to dimeter ratio(L/D) is increased, hydrogen production increases.
