Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process is a typical method for synthesizing hydrocarbons from syngas and is mainly known as iron (Fe) and cobalt (Co) catalysts. Currently, some technologies such as CTL (Coal to Liquid) and GTL (Gas to Liquid) are operated on a commercial scale depending on the products, but the research to produce light hydrocarbons and middle distillates directly has not been commercialized. Therefore, in this study, domestic studies for direct production of light hydrocarbons and middle distillates are summarized and the effect of catalyst preparation, promoter addition, zeolite combination on product selectivity is investigated.

This study is aimed at investigating an effect of HCl gas on selective reduction of NOx over a CuHM and $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst. SCR process is the most effective method to remove NOx, but catalyst can be deactivated by the acidic gas such as HCl gas which is also included in flue gas from the incinerator. In dry condition of flue gas, the CuHM catalyst treated by HCl gas has shown higher NO removal activity than the fresh catalyst. The activity of the catalyst can be restored by treating at $500^{\circ}C$. On the contrary. $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst is obviously deactivated by HCl and the deactivation increases in proportion to the concentration of HCl gas. The deactivated catalyst is not restored to it's original activity by heat treatment for regeneration. In wet flue gas stream, the CuHM catalyst has shown lower activity than fresh catalyst and $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst was severely deactivated by HCl treatment. The activity loss of catalysts are mainly due to the decrease of Br$\ddot{o}$nsted acid site on the catalyst surface by $NH_3$ TPD. The change of BET surface area of CuHM catalyst after the reaction isn't observed but $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst is observed. The amount of $Cu^{{+}{+}}$ and $V_2O_5$ is decreased after the reaction. From these results, it is expected that CuHM catalyst should be better than $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst for its application to the incineration of flue gas.

에너지 사용량의 증가와 국제적인 환경 규제에 대응하기 위하여 환경친화적인 연료의 개발이 시급한 가운데 재생가능한 동식물성 유지로부터 생산되는 바이오 디젤에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 자원 재활용 및 에너지 생산관점에서 폐식용유로부터 바이오디젤 원료로 사용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 폐식용유를 이용한 바이오디젤 생산에서 폐식용유내 함유된 유리지방산 및 수분에 의해 효율적인 전이에스테르화 반응이 어렵기 때문에 이를 전처리 단계에서 제거되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 폐식용유내 유리지방산을 효과적으로 제거하기 위하여 회분식 반응기에서 MFI 제올라이트 촉매를 이용하여 Si/Al 몰비에 따른 산세기 및 산량의 변화에 따른 유리지방산 제거 특성을 조사해 보았다.

질소산화물(NOx) 제거기술 중, 선택적촉매환원(Selective Catalytic Reduciton: SCR)공정은 배기가스 중에 포함되어 있는 질소산화물을 암모니아와 촉매상에서 반응시켜 무해한 질소와 물로 전환하는 기술로 높은 탈질율 및 안정적인 기술로 인하여 상업적으로 널리 이용되고 있다(Bosch, 1988). 귀금속촉매, Cu/Zeolite 촉매 및 V$_2$O$_{5}$/TiO$_2$ 등 다양한 촉매들이 SCR 공정에 적용되는데 V$_2$O$_{5}$/TiO$_2$ 촉매가 높은 활성과 황 등 피독 물질에 대한 우수한 내구성으로 인하여 가장 효과적인 촉매로 알려져있다(Heck, 1999).

바이오디젤은 식물성 기름이나 동물성 지방과 같은 재생 가능한 원료로부터 전이에스테르화 반응을 통해 생산되는 대체 연료이다. 본 연구에서는 NaX 제올라이트 촉매에 염기성 물질인 KOH를 담지한 후 소성온도에 따라 제조된 촉매를 사용하여 바이오디젤 제조 특성을 조사하였다. 제조된 촉매의 결정구조와 성분을 분석하기위해 XRD, SEM 을 이용하였으며, 표면적을 측정하기 위해 BET 를 사용하였다. 실험결과 소성온도가 $500^{\circ}C$일 때 30wt% KOH/NaX 제올라이트 촉매내 K 함량이 가장 높았고, 이때 70%이상의 높은 바이오디젤 수율을 얻을 수 있었다.

HZSM-5, synthesized in fluoride medium, showed high selectivity for the formation of 1,4-diethylbenzene (1,4-DEB) in the vapour phase ethylation of ethylbenzene (EB) with ethanol and hence becomes a convenient eco-friendly substitute for hazardous mineral acid catalysts. De-ethylation of EB to benzene was also minimized over this catalyst. As the medium pore size and presence of weak and medium acid sites might be the cause of such benefits, fluoride mediated synthesis of ZSM-5 is proven to be advantageous for para-selective alkylation of alkyl aromatics.

In the presence of zeolites, 4,4'-dibromobiphenyl could be region-selectively nitrated by the action of nitrogen dioxide and molecular oxygen. The ratio of 4,4'-dibromo-2-nitrobiphenyl to 4,4'-dibromo-3-nitrobiphenyl could reach 14 in a high yield of 90%. Zeolites could be easily regenerated by heating and reused four times to give the results similar to those obtained with fresh catalyst. Compared with the classic nitration method, no nitric acid and sulfuric acid were used, which suggested that the method was an environmentally economic process.

The direct reaction of carbon dioxide($CO_2$) with butane($C_4H_{10}$) to obtain synthesis gas and hydrocarbon compounds have been studied on nickel loaded catalysts. In the reaction of $CO_2$ with $C_4H_{10}$, Ni loaded catalysts showed similar activity with Pt catalyst and Coke deposition on the catalyst was severe by dehydrogenation of butane. The main products were carbon monoxide and hydrogen, when alumina and Y type zeolite were used as a support. Instead, a great deal of aromatic hydrocarbons were obtained on the Ni loaded ZSM-5 catalyst. The conversion of $CO_2$ increased with the increasing molar ratio of $CO_2$/$C_4H_{10}$ on Ni/ZSM-5, Ni/NaY and Ni/alumina catalyst, but the conversion decreased again from the ratio of 2. The value of $CO_2$ conversion was the highest at the 5wt% of Ni loading on ZSM-5 catalyst. A part of cokes deposited on the catalysts diminished when only $CO_2$ gas or water steam flowed into the reactor. The coke deposited on the catalysts was very reactive and it may be an important intermediate for the carbon dioxide reforming reaction.

This study was carried out to investigate fuel decomposition characteristics and coke formation according to types of endothermic fuels and methods of catalyst molding. Methylcyclohexane (MCH), n-dodecane, and exo-tetrahydrodipentadiene (exo-THDCP) were used as the endothermic fuels. As a catalyst, USY720 supported with platinum was used. It was manufactured by only using pressure to disk-type, or pelletized with a binder and a silica solution. The characteristics of the catalysts according to the molding method were analyzed by X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm, and ammonia temperature programmed desorption analysis. The reaction was carried out under conditions of high temperature and high pressure ($500^{\circ}C$, 50 bar) in which the fuel could exist in a supercritical state. The product was analyzed by gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer and the coke produced by the catalyst was analyzed by thermogravimetric analyzer. After the reaction, the composition of the products varied greatly depending on the structure of the fuel. In addition, the crystallinity and surface properties of the catalysts were not changed by the method of catalyst molding, but the changes of the acid sites and the pore characteristics were observed, which resulted in changes in the amount and composition of products and coke.

Cu(II)-organic complexes were synthesized with Lewis base organic ligands including diamine, aminothiol, and dithiol to determine the reactivity for DFP hydrolysis. Results show that the aminothiol catalyst enhances the hydrolysis of DFP in three folds compared to diamine type because aminothiol has higher basicity than diamine. Due to low solubility of Cu(II)(1,2-ethane dithiol)$(NO_3)_2$, it is impossible to compare directly the rates in homogeneous condition. However, the rate of dithol complex is even 1.6 times faster than that of the diamine type. The reactivity of zeolite for DFP hydrolysis is also evaluated. NaY type does not promote the hydrolysis, but RuNaY shows relatively lower reactivity than those of Cu(II)-organic ligands complexes.
