The cryogenic, pressure swing adsorption and membrane methods have been used to separate air into nitrogen and oxygen. The air separation membrane is made of the polymers, of which manufacturing process is complicate and it causes a little high production cost. Polymer membrane has temperature limit in usage and low durability even at moderate temperature. Therefore, inorganic membranes have been studied for years. As formation of unit alumino-silicate membrane, unit cells of membrane were made with a few coating methods. In this study the dipping of substrate into sols, application of vacuum to the opposite side of substrate with coating and rotating of the substrate in the sols were found as good coating memthods to make a uniform coating and to control the thickness of membrane. The membrane coats were examined by SEM and XRD. The sample ESZl-1 was compared with those of samples that prepared by another method. The present developed coating methods could be applied to the various types of zeolite membrane formation, that is A- X-, Y- ZSM- and MCM-types of membranes. Also these membrane forming methods could be applied to formation of catalyst absorbed zeolite membrane, of which zeolite absorb the catalytic metals. The product obtained from these coating methods could be applied to the industrial gas and liquid phase catalytic reaction and separation processes.

The crystal structure of partially dehydrated fully $Zn^{2+}$-exchanged zeolite Y was determined by X-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group $Fd\bar{3}m$ at 294(1) K and refined to the final error indices $R_1/wR_2$ = 0.035/0.119 for $|Zn_{35.5}(H_2O)_{13}|[Si_{121}Al_{71}O_{384}]$-FAU. About 35.5 $Zn^{2+}$ ions per unit cell are found at six distinct positions; sites I, I', a second I', II', II, and a second II. In sodalite cavities, the 11 water molecules coordinate to Zn(I'b) and/or Zn(II') ions; each of two $H_2O$ bonds to a Zn(IIb) in supercages. Two different $Zn^{2+}$ positions near 6-oxygen ring are due to their Si-Al ordering in tetrahedral site by Si/Al ratio leading to the different kinds of 6-rings.

The three natural zeolites collected in Yungil-gun, Kyungsangbuk-do, Korea, were analyzed by means of chemical wet methods and X-ray diffraction. The results indicated that the primary species of those zeolites were clinoptilolite mixed with heulandite, feldspar, montmorillonite, and quartz. These zeolites were chemically treated with NaOH, $\textrm{Ca(OH)}_2$, and HCl solution and their differences were also studied with X-ray diffraction method. The capabilities of removing $Cs^+$ and Sr^{2+}$ ions with chemically untreated zeolites, chemically treated zeolites, and also with synthetic zeolites were compared. The effect of other cations in removing Sr^{2+}$ ions was also studied. The experimental results showed that$Cs^+$ and Sr^{2+}$ ions could be removed up to 98% and 95% respectively out of 5 ppm with chemically untrearted natural zeolites. The treatment of 0.02N-$\textrm{Ca(OH)}_2$ and that of 2N-NaOH were most effective In removing $Cs^+$ and Sr^{2+}$ ions, respectively. It was found that the mountaintop of Sangjung 1-dong natural zeolite treated with 2N-NaOH was most efficient in removing Sr^{2+}$ ions mixed with other cations, compared with any other chemically treated and untreated natural zeolites in this work.

석탄, 폐기물 등 다양한 시료의 가스화 반응을 통해서 발생되는 합성가스는 CO, $H_2$, $CO_2$가 주성분으로 가스엔진, 가스터빈 등의 연료로 사용하여 발전하거나 합성반응을 통해 다양한 화학원료로의 전환이 가능하다. 합성가스를 가스엔진, 가스터빈, 연료전지등의 연료로 사용하는 경우는 고효율 발전이 가능하여 기존 연소방식의 발전과 비교하여 단위 전력 생산량 당 $CO_2$의 배출량이 감소 되며, 여기에 $CO_2$ 분리공정을 적용하면 $CO_2$ 배출량 감소효과를 극대화 할 수 있다. 화석연료의 연소 및 가스화 반응을 통해서 발생하는 이산화탄소의 분리에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 본 연구에서는 흡착방식을 이용한 합성가스 내의 이산화탄소 분리를 위하여 흡착제를 이용한 이산화탄소의 흡착, 탈착 성능 분석 연구를 수행하였다. 합성가스내의 이산화탄소를 분리하기 위한 흡착제로는 NaX 계열의 zeolite를 이용하였으며, 가스화 반응을 통해 발생한 합성가스를 흡착제에 통과시켜 이산화탄소의 선택적 흡착 여부를 확인하였다. 또한 TPD(Temperature Programmed Desorption)방법을 이용하여 흡착제의 이산화탄소 흡착 성능을 분석하였다.

The effects of H₂O and residue SO₂ in flue gases on the activity of the Fe/zeolite catalysts for low-temperature NH₃-SCR of NO were investigated. And the addition effect of Mn, Zr and Ce to Fe/zeolite for low-temperature NH₃-SCR of NO in the presence of H₂O and SO₂ was investigated. Fe/zeolite catalysts were prepared by liquid ion exchange and promoted Fe/zeolite catatysts were prepared by liquid ion exchange and doping of Mn, Zr and Ce by incipient wetness impregnation. Zeolite NH₄-BEA and NH₄-ZSM-5 were used to adapt the SCR technology for mobile diesel engines. The catalysts were characterized by BET, X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM/EDS, TEM/EDS. The NO conversion at 200 ℃ over Fe/BEA decreased from 77% to 47% owing to the presence of 5% H₂O and 100 ppm SO₂ in the flue gas. The Mn promoted MnFe/BEA catalyst exhibited NO conversion higher than 53% at 200 ℃ and superior to that of Fe/BEA in the presence of H₂O and SO₂. The addition of Mn increased the Fe dispersion and prevented Fe aggregation. The promoting effect of Mn was higher than Zr and Ce. Fe/BEA catalyst exhibited good activity in comparison with Fe/ZSM-5 catalyst at low temperature below 250 ℃.

A way to adsorptively remove indoor carbon dioxide at relatively lower concentration under ambient temperature was studied. A small lab-scale carbon dioxide adsorption and desorption reactors were prepared, and 5A and 13X zeolites were packed in this reactors to investigate their adsorption and desorption characteristics. The inflow carbon dioxide concentration was controlled to 5,000 ppm, relatively higher concentration found in indoor spaces with air quality problems, by diluting carbon dioxide with nitrogen gas. The flow rate was varied as 1~5 L/min, and the carbon dioxide concentration after this reactor was constantly monitored to examine the adsorption characteristics. It was found that 5A adsorbed more carbon dioxide than 13X. A lab-scale carbon dioxide desorption reactor was also prepared to investigate the desorption characteristics of zeolites, which is essential for the regeneration of used zeolites. The desorption temperature was varied as $25{\sim}200^{\circ}C$, and the desorption pressure was varied as 0.1~1.0 bar. Carbon dioxide desorbed better at higher temperature, and lower pressure. 5A could be regenerated more than three times by thermal desorption at $180^{\circ}C$. It is required to modify zeolites for higher adsorption and better regeneration performances.

메탄 하이드레이트는 낮은 온도와 높은 압력 조건에서 물분자들의 격자구조에 메탄가스분자가 포획되어 수소결합으로 형성되는 외관상 얼음과 비슷한 결정성 화합물이다. $1m^3$의 메탄 하이드레이트는 표준상태에서 $172m^3$의 메탄가스와 $0.8m^3$의 물로 분해되며, $-10^{\circ}C{\sim}-20^{\circ}C$의 온도에서는 하이드레이트 입자표면에서 생성되는 얼음막으로 인하여 상압에서도 안정하게 존재하는 자기보존 효과를 가지고 있다. 따라서 이와 같은 특징을 천연가스 수송 및 저장의 방법으로 이용할 경우 $-162^{\circ}C$의 초저온을 만들고 유지시키기 위하여 고가의 설비를 필요로 하는 기존의 LNG 수송방법을 대체할 수 있다. 특히 연간 천연가스 소비량을 0.4 ~ 1.0 million ton으로 가정했을 때, 하이드레이트 수송방법은 LNG 수송에 비해 18 ~ 25% 정도의 비용을 절약할 수 있는 경제적인 방법으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 하이드레이트를 인공적으로 제조할 경우 물분자와 가스분자의 반응율이 낮기 때문에 하이드레이트가 생성되기까지 많은 시간이 소요되며, 하이드레이트에 포획되는 가스분자의 양도 적다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 다공성 물질인 천연 제올라이트와 제올라이트 13X를 이용하여 제올라이트 혼합유체를 제조하였으며, 메탄가스와 반응시켜 하이드레이트를 생성시키는 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 하이드레이트 생성 시 천연 제올라이트와 제올라이트 13X 모두 0.01 wt%의 혼합비율에서 가장 좋은 효과를 나타내었으며, 하이드레이트에 포획된 가스의 양은 같은 과냉도 조건에서 천연제올라이트와 제올라이트 13X 혼합유체를 이용하여 하이드레이트를 생성 시켰을 때, 증류수보다 각각 4배, 5배 높음을 보였다. 또한 낮은 과냉도에서 하이드레이트 생성 시 제올라이트, 제올라이트13X 혼합유체에서 하이드레이트 생성시간이 증류수에서 하이드레이트를 생성시킬 때보다 빨라짐을 확인하였다.

The batch experiments and response surface methodology (RSM) have been applied to the investigation of the Cs adsorption with zeolite X synthesized using coal fly ash generated from the thermal power plant. Regression equation formulated for Cs adsorption was represented as a function of response variables. The model was highly relevant because the decision coefficient ($r^2$) was 0.9630. It was confirmed from the statistical results that the removal efficiency of Cs was affected by the order of experimental factors as pH > Cs concentration > temperature. The adsorption kinetics were more accurately represented by a pseudo second-order model. The maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Langmuir isotherm model was $151.52mg\;g^{-1}$ at 293 K. Also, according to the thermodynamic parameters calculated from Vant Hoff equation, it could be confirmed that the adsorption reaction was an endothermic reaction and a spontaneous process.
