$TiO_2$ particles, 30-300 nm in diameter, were prepared by thermal decomposition of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) using an aerosol microreactor, by which about $1{\mu}l$ of the liquid precursor is injected into an evaporator, 1 cc in volume, and vaporized precursor is then transported by nitrogen as a bolus to a tubular reactor 4 mm in diameter and 35 cm in length. Investigated were the effects of the reactor temperature and the concentration of TTIP vapor on the morphology, particle size distribution and crystalline structure of produced $TiO_2$ particles. With TTIP vapor concentration kept constant at 1 mol%, the reactor temperature was varied from 300 to 500 and $700^{\circ}C$. The primary particle size decreased with increasing the temperature, and the size distributions were mono-modal at 300 and $500^{\circ}C$, but bi-modal at $700^{\circ}C$. The TTIP vapor concentration was increased from 1 to 3.5 and 7 mol%, holding the reactor temperature at $700^{\circ}C$. The bi-modal distribution seen at the concentration of 1 mol% disappeared and the number of particles composing an agglomerate increased at the higher concentrations. These effects of the reactor temperature and the precursor concentration were discussed in comparison with experimental results reported earlier.

The desulfurization abilities using GC/microreactor have been examined for $CuO-Fe_2O_3$ sorbents with respect to calcination temperatures of 700, 900 and $1,100^{\circ}C$. CuO was used as a main active component, $Fe_2O_3$ was used as an additive one and 25 wt% $SiO_2$ was used as a support. The desulfurization reaction temperature was $500^{\circ}C$ and the regeneration reaction temperature was $700^{\circ}C$. From the XRD results, the $CuFeO_2$ compound has been observed for the fresh sorbent calcined at $1,100^{\circ}C$ and the $CuFeS_2$ compound for the reacted sorbent calcined at $1,100^{\circ}C$. By the BET results, however any significant differences among sorbents calcined at the three different temperatures of 700, 900 and $1,100^{\circ}C$ haven't been observed. Especially CFS1 (CuO : $Fe_2O_3$ : $SiO_2$=67.5 wt% : 7.5 wt% : 25 wt%) sorbent calcined at $1,100^{\circ}C$ maintained about 10 g sulfur/100 g sorbent for 100 cycles by the cyclic test.

Pyrolysis of polyethylene was carried out in the stainless steel reactor of internal volume of $40cm^3$. Pyrolysis reactions were performed at temperature $390-450^{\circ}C$ and the pyrolysis product were collected separately as reaction products and gas products. The molecular weight distributions(MWDs) of each liquid product were determined by GC-SIMDIS. Molecular weight of each product were decreased wi th increase of react ion temperature and time.

High-quality colloidal CdSe/ZnS (core/shell) is synthesized using a continuous microreactor. The particle size of the synthesized quantum dots (QDs) is a function of the precursor flow rate; as the precursor flow rate increases, the size of the QDs decreases and the band gap energy increases. The photoluminescence properties are found to depend strongly on the flow rate of the CdSe precursor owing to the change in the core size. In addition, a gradual shift in the maximum luminescent wave (${\lambda}_{max}$) to shorter wavelengths (blue shift) is found owing to the decrease in the QD size in accordance with the quantum confinement effect. The ZnS shell decreases the surface defect concentration of CdSe. It also lowers the thermal energy dissipation by increasing the concentration of recombination. Thus, a relatively high emission and quantum yield occur because of an increase in the optical energy emitted at equal concentration. In addition, the maximum quantum yield is derived for process conditions of 0.35 ml/min and is related to the optimum thickness of the shell material.

열중량반응기와 미분반응기를 이용하여 ABS의 열분해 및 생성물분포 특성을 연구하였으며 미분반응기를 이용한 실험의 열분해온도는 $410{\sim}450^{\circ}C$이었다. 각 상의 열분해생성물의 수율은 무게측정을 통해 얻었으며 액상생성물의 탄소수분포는 GC-SIMDIS 방법을 통해 측정하였다. 열중량 분석실험에서는 측정할 수 없었던 다량의 고상잔류물의 생성을 회분식 미분반응기실험을 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 반응온도와 시간이 증가할수록 액상생성물의 수율과 평균분자량은 감소하였으나 액상생성물 중의 스티렌모노머의 생성은 두드러지게 증가하였다. ABS 열분해 반응에서 말단절단의 속도계수인 활성화에너지 값은 54.1kcal/mole이었다.

Recently, microalgae have been focused on potential biomass for bio-diesel and biorefinery process. The aim of this paper is to review the biorefinery process including biodesel using microalgae as a microreactor. The state-of-the-art of biodiesel and biorefinery research such as extraction and reaction process as well as byproducts utilization is described. In addition, we suggest possibility for develop bioactive substances and their industrial products from byproducts of microalgae massively obtained after bio-diesel extraction.

Effects of magnetic field and carrier gas velocity on the magnetic separation of FCC catalyst by a high gradient magnetic separator were studied. The activities of the equilibrium catalyst, the magnetic particles and the nonmagnetic particles were evaluated in a fixed bed microreactor The results showed that heavy metal contaminated catalyst can be selectively separated by means of high gradient magnetic separation at magnetic field 0.5T and carrier gas velocity 0.3m.s$^{-1}$ , and lightly metal contaminated catalyst retained high catalytic activity.

Fuel processing is an enabling technology for faster commercialization under lack of hydrogen infrastructures. It has been reported that the development of novel catalysts that are active and selective for hydrocarbon reforming reactions. It has been realized, however, that with pellet or conventional honeycomb catalysts, the reforming process is mass transport limited. This paper reports the development of catalyst structures with microchannels that are able to reduce the diffusion resistance and thereby achieve the same production rate within a smaller reactor bed. These microchannel reforming catalysts were prepared and tested with natural gas and gasoline-type fuels in a microreactor (1-cm dia.) at space velocities of up to 250,000 per hour. These catalysts have also been used in engineering-scale reactors (10 kWe, 7-cm dia.) with similar product qualities. Compared to pellet catalysts. the microchannel catalysts enable a nearly 5-fold reduction in catalyst weight and volume.
