We prepared Ni and Pd-modified $TiO_2@SiO_2$ core-shell nanostructures and then analyzed them by scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction crystallography, FT-IR and UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. In addition, their CO oxidation performance was tested by temperature-programmed mass spectrometry. The CO oxidation activity showed an order of Ni-$TiO_2@SiO_2$ ($900^{\circ}C$) < Ni-$TiO_2@SiO_2$ ($90^{\circ}C$) < Ni-$TiO_2@SiO_2$ ($450^{\circ}C$) in the first CO oxidation run, and greatly improved activity in the same order in the second run. The $T_{10%}$ (the temperature at 10% CO conversion) corresponds to the CO oxidation rate of $2.8{\times}10^{-5}$ molCO $g{_{cat}}^{-1}s^{-1}$. For Ni-$TiO_2@SiO_2$ ($450^{\circ}C$), the $T_{10%}$ was observed at $365^{\circ}C$ in the first run and at $335^{\circ}C$ in the second run. For the Pd-$TiO_2@SiO_2$ ($450^{\circ}C$), the $T_{10%}$ was observed at a much lower temperature of $263^{\circ}C$ in the first CO oxidation run, and at $247^{\circ}C$ in the second run. The CO oxidation activities of transition metal modified $TiO_2@SiO_2$ core-shell nanostructures presented herein provide new insights that will be useful in developing catalysts for various environments.

Simultaneous CO and $C_3H_6$ oxidation was carried out over noble metal supported monolith catalysts in a flow thorugh type reactor at the temperature ranging from room temperature to $500^\circ$C. Pt and Pd were selected as major active species, 10wt% of Ce was impregnated as an additive and alumina and silica were used as supports. The reactant gases were simulated and the reaction products were analyzed by on-line G.C.. EDX, SEM, TGA, XRD and optical microscope were used to analyze the characteristics of the prepared catalysts. Under the given conditions in this study, the catalysts supported on alumina showed better activity for CO oxidation, while Pd catalysts showed better activity for $C_3H_6$ oxidation. The improvement of conversion due to increase in thermal stability possibily by Ce addition was observed only for Pt catalysts.

In this paper, we characterized bimetallic Pt-Ru/C alloy catalysts having four different compositions and compared the catalytic activities of the prepared alloys for CO oxidation. ICP-AES, EDS, XRD, TEM, and XAS were used to investigate the composition, degree of alloying, particle size, and electronic structure of the prepared Pt-Ru/C catalysts. Those results indicated the synthesis of the alloy catalysts with intended composition and uniform size. The electrochemical study of the characterized alloys showed higher catalytic activity for CO oxidation than that of the commercial Pt/C (E-TEK, Inc., 20 wt %) catalyst. Especially, it was shown that the alloy catalyst with Ru composition of 50 atomic % gave the highest catalytic activity for CO oxidation.

CO oxidaition reacitvity of bare and $TiO_2$ -coated NiO/$Ni(OH)_2$ nanoparticles was studied. For the deposition of $TiO_2$ atomic layer deposition was used, and formation of three-dimensional island of $TiO_2$ on NiO/$Ni(OH)_2$ could be identified. Based on the data of X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, we suggest that only $Ni(OH)_2$ existed on the surface, whereas NiO disappeared upon $TiO_2$ deposition. Both CO adsorption and CO oxidation took place on NiO/$Ni(OH)_2$ surfaces under our experimental conditions. CO adsorption was completely suppressed after $TiO_2$ deposition, whereas CO oxidation activity was maintained to large extent. It is proposed that bare NiO can uptake CO under our experimental condition, whereas hydroxylated surface of NiO can be active for CO oxidation.

In the present study, $TiB_2-Co$ composite coatings were thermally sprayed onto the surface of a 304 stainless steel substrate using an atmospheric plasma spray (APS). The phase analysis of the powders and plasma-sprayed coatings was performed using X-ray diffractometry analysis. The microstructures of the coatings were studied by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The average particle size and flowability of the feedstocks were also measured. Both $TiB_2-32Co$ and $TiB_2-45Co$ (wt.%) coatings possessed typical dense lamellar structures and high-quality adhesion to the substrate. The oxidation behaviors of the coatings were studied at $900^{\circ}C$ in an atmospheric environment. In addition, the cross-sectional images of the oxidized coatings were analyzed by SEM. A thin and well-adhered layer was formed on the surface of both $TiB_2-Co$ coatings, confirming satisfactory high-temperature oxidation resistance. The kinetic curves corresponding to the isothermal oxidation of the coatings illustrated a short transient stage from rapid to slow oxidation during the early portion of the oxidation experiment.

The catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which were benzene and toluene, was studied in the supercritical carbon dioxide($SC-CO_2$) media. In $SC-CO_2$ media, the deep oxidation conversion of VOCs was increased with the temperature and pressure. The deep oxidation conversion in SC -$CO_2$ media is better than that in air media at same pressure condition. This can be explained by the solubility of VOCs in $SC-CO_2$. The many intermediates produced by the partial oxidation of VOCs were detected from off-line samples. The intermediates were Identified as benzene, toluene, benzaldehyde, phenol, naphthalene, 1,1`-biphenyl, benzoic acid, 3-methylphenol, 1,1'-(1,2-ethanediyl)bis- benzene, 1,1'-(1,2-ethene- diyl)bis-benzene, anthracene, and so on. The amount of intermediates was decreased as the molar radio of oxygen to carbon dioxide was decreased. When the molar ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide was 1 : 16, the deep conversion was kept constant. Thus, the catalytic oxidation process in $SC-CO_2$ media can be combined on-line with supercritical fluid extraction of environmental matrices and supercritical regeneration of used adsorbent. Thus, the nontoxic $SC-CO_2$ media process was suggested as the new VOCs control technology.

고분자 전해질 연료전지 구동 시 양극 활성 물질에 대한 CO 피독을 방지하기 위해 Cu를 촉매 활성 종으로 사용하고 반응물의 확산이 용이한 몇 가지 메조 세공 물질을 지지체로 이용하여 CO 선택적 산화 반응(PROX반응)을 실시하였다. 그 결과 거대 세공을 가진 SBA-15를 지지체로 사용했을 때 우수한 CO 산화 활성을 보였으며 특히 Cu 담지 량에 비례하여 활성은 증가하였다. 또한 Cu의 분산도를 높이고자 첨가한 Ti 성분은 저온에서 CO 산화 성능을 높이는데 기여하였다. 특히 Ti 성분을 20 wt-% 첨가한 Cu/Ti20-SBA-15 촉매에서 Cu의 분산도가 가장 우수하였으며 CO 산화활성 역시 개선됨을 확인하였다.

A facile and precise batch oxidation reaction system allows continuous monitoring of the oxidation rate and cumulated oxygen conversion of xylenes, and the side reactions to carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide may also be studied. The oxidation reaction can be analyzed precisely with the rate and amount of oxygen consumed. The reaction reveals that 4-carboxybenzaldehyde is an unstable intermediate of p-xylene oxidation as the reaction proceeds instantaneously from p-toluic acid to TPA (terephthalic acid). The alkali metals accelerate oxidation, even though they retard the reaction initially. The oxidation rate increases with decreasing water concentration. However, in the later part of reaction, the reactivity decreases a bit if the water concentration is very low. This retarding effect of water can be overcome partly by the addition of potassium. The oxidation of o-xylene, compared with the oxidation of p-xylene and m-xylene, proceeds quite fast initially, however, the oxidation rate of xylene isomers in the later stage of reaction is in the order of p-xylene > mxylene > o-xylene.

The effect of vacuum annealing on the oxidation behavior of milled WC-15%Co powder mixture has been studied. A cobalt component in the milled powder mixture was oxidized preferentially above 175$^{\circ}C$ in air. The specimens showed a steady increase in weight at 175$^{\circ}C$ but did constant weight followed by rapid increase in specimen weight at the beginning above 20$0^{\circ}C$. Oxidation of the milled powder mixture was significantly suppressed by vacuum annealing at 30$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 h. Suppression of oxidation by vacuum annealing and different oxidation behaviors of the milled powder mixture between 175$^{\circ}C$ and 20$0^{\circ}C$, were attributed to removal of strain energy stored in the cobalt powder during vacuum annealing or oxidation treatment above 20$0^{\circ}C$. The role of stored strain energy on oxidation of milled WC-15%Co powder mixture was proved by X-ray diffraction method and differential thermal analysis.

In order to form a uniform oxidation layer and spinel crystalline phase that was supposed to help strong bonding in Kovar(Fe-29Ni-17Co)to-glass sealing the humidified nitrogen (2.3%H2O/N2) was used as an oxidation atmosphere. Kovar oxidation was diffusion-contolled and the activation energy was 2.51 kcal/mol at 600-900$^{\circ}C$ After oxidation at 600$^{\circ}C$ the oxidation layer was under 1$\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness and crystalline phase was spinel which was found to be suitable for the Kovar-to-glass sealing.
