Methanol was synthesized by homogeneous and catalytic reactions of partial oxidation of methane. The effect of pressure, temperature and oxygen concentration on methanol synthesis was investigated. The catalyst used was Bi-Cs-Mg-Cu-Mo mixed oxide. The partial oxidation reaction was carried out in a fixed bed reactor at 20${\sim}$46 bar and $450{\sim}480^{\circ}C$ and oxygen concentration of 5.3${\sim}$7.7mol%. The results were compared with results of homogeneous reaction performed at the same conditions. Methane conversions of the homogeneous and catalytic reactions increased with temperature. Methanol selectivity of the homogeneous reaction decreased with increasing temperature. However, the methanol selectivity of catalytic reaction increased with temperature. For both homogeneous and catalytic reactions, the methane conversions were around 5%. This may be due to the low oxygen concentration. Methanol selectivity of the catalytic reaction was higher than that of homogeneous one.

Greenhouse gas emissions have a profound effect on global warming. Various environmental regulations have been introduced to reduce the emissions. The largest amount of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, is produced in the steel industry. To decrease carbon dioxide emission, hydrogen-based iron oxide reduction, which can replace carbon-based reduction has received a great attention. Iron production generates various by-product gases, such as cokes oven gas (COG), blast furnace gas (BFG), and Linz-Donawitz gas (LDG). In particular, COG, due to its high concentrations of hydrogen and methane, can be reformed to become a major source of hydrogen for reducing iron oxide. Nevertheless, continuous COG cannot be supplied under actual operation condition of steel industry. To solve this problem, this study proposed to use two alternative COG-based fuel mixtures; one with natural gas and the other with biogas. Reforming study on two types of mixed gas were carried out to evaluate catalyst performance under a variety of operating conditions. In addition, methane conversion and product composition were investigated both theoretically and experimentally.

본 연구는 메탄 부분산화에 의한 메탄올 직접 합성을 위한 촉매 개발을 목표로 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 Mo-Bi-V-Al 복합 산화물 촉매를 제조하였으며, 제조 방법에 따른 촉매 물성을 비교하고, 제조한 촉매를 이용하여 메탄올 합성반응을 수행하여 그 결과를 검토하여 보았다. 졸-겔법으로 제조한 촉매가 공침법으로 제조한 촉매보다 비표면적이 훨씬 컸다. 입자가 작고 표면적이 클수록 부분산화반응보다는 완전산화반응이나 메탄올 산화반응이 더 잘 진행되어 메탄올의 선택도는 낮아지고 이산화탄소의 선택도는 증가하였다. 졸-겔법으로 제조한 촉매가 공침법으로 제조한 촉매보다 약 $20^{\circ}C$ 정도 더 낮은 온도에서 더 높은 메탄올 선택도(13%)를 보였다. 두 방법으로 제조한 촉매의 XRD 분석 결과 두 촉매의 결정 구조가 서로 달랐다. 본 반응에서 압력이 증가할수록 완전산화 반응이 억제되고 부분산화 반응이 일어나서 메탄올의 선택도는 증가하였고 이산화탄소의 선택도는 감소하였다.

Biodiesel production has attracted attention as a sustainable source of fuel and is a competitive alternate to diesel engines. The glycerol that is produced as a by-product is generally discarded as waste and can be converted to green chemicals such as acetins to increase bio-diesel profitability. Acetins find application in fuel, food, pharmaceutical and leather industries. Batch experiments and analysis have been previously conducted for synthesis of acetins using glycerol esterification reaction aided by sulfated metal oxide catalysts (SO₄^2-/CeO₂-ZrO₂). The aim of this study was to optimize process parameters: effects of mole ratio of reactants (glycerol and acetic acid), catalyst concentration and reaction temperature to maximize glycerol conversion/acetin selectivity. The optimum conditions for this reaction were determined using response surface methodology (RSM) designed as per a five-level-three-factor central composite design (CCD). Statistica software 10 was used to analyze the experimental data obtained. The optimized conditions obtained were molar ratio - 1:12, catalyst concentration - 6 wt.% and temperature -90 ℃. A packed bed reactor was fabricated and column studies were performed using the optimized conditions. The breakthrough curve was analyzed.

Flue gas control systems for small-scale combustors must be designed to provide highly effective removal of three criteria pollutants (S $O_{2}$, N $O_{x}$ and particulate matter), and must be safe, reliable and small. These requirements make dry, regenerative clean-up process particularly attractive and this paper describes a new concept for integrated pollutant control : a filter comprised of layered, gas permeable membranes that act as an S $O_{2}$ sorbant, a N $O_{x}$ reduction catalyst and a particulate filter. A mixed metal oxide sorbent, Cu-Ce was used as a sorbent/catalyst and the activity was compared with Cu-7Al. The S $O_{2}$ removal eficiency of Cu-Ce was increased with temperature increase up to 500$^{\circ}$C and the catalytic activity for NO was higher than that of Cu-7Al. By the sulfation of Cu-Ce, the reduction activity was increased at the temperature higher than 350$^{\circ}$C. The regeneration of Cu-Ce was very fast and some amount of elemental sulfar was found.

In this study, hyaluronic acid (HA) was electro-spun to fabricate nanofibrous membranes for support materials. Because HA is very hygroscopic, it is difficult to obtain enough viscosity to apply electrospinning method. Therefore, we mixed HA with polyethylene oxide (PEO) to obtain proper viscosity and added adipic acid (ADH) to promote cross-linking of PEO/HA during electrospinning. The morphology of PEO/HA membrane was optimized according to PEO/HA concentration ratio and spinning rate. Finally, we fabricated gold-nanoparticle-embedded PEO/HA membranes and their catalyst activities were evaluated in tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation.

순수한 $MnO_2$ 산화물을 과망간산칼륨과 망간아세테이트를 사용하여 침전법으로 제조하였고 소성온도를 달리하여 CO 산화반응을 수행하였다. 촉매의 물리화학적 특성을 알아보기 위하여 XRD, $N_2$ 흡착, $H_2-TPR$, CO-TPD 등의 특성분석을 수행하였다. $MnO_2$-300 촉매는 9nm 크기 근처의 좁은 기공크기 분포로 존재하며 $181m^2/g$의 높은 비표면적을 보였다. XRD와 $H_2-TPR$ 분석으로 $MnO_2$ 촉매는 $Mn^{4+}$와 $Mn^{3+}$의 산화상태임을 확인하였다. CO-TPD 분석으로 소성온도가 높아질수록 탈착되는 $CO_2$의 양이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. $MnO_2$ 촉매의 소성온도에 따른 최적 활성에서는 $300^{\circ}C$에서 소성한 촉매가 가장 좋은 활성을 나타냈으며, $200^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 100%의 CO 전환율을 보였다. 수분 존재하의 CO 산화반응은 활성점에 $H_2O$와 CO의 경쟁 흡착으로 촉매의 활성을 감소시켰으며 수분제거 시 활성이 건조조건과 동일하게 회복되었다.

아산화질소($N_2O$)는 각종 화학산업의 제조공정은 물론 유기 및 화석연료의 각종 연소공정으로부터 배출되는 대표적 온실가스이다. 온난화 효과는 $CO_2$의 310배에 달하고 성층권에 도달해서는 오존층을 파괴하는 물질이지만 화학적으로 매우 안정하여 분해처리가 쉽지 않다. 각종 환원제를 이용한 SCR 반응도 대부분 $450^{\circ}C$ 이상의 높은 온도를 요구하며 NOx 존재시에는 활성이 현저하게 떨어지는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 $N_2O$ 분해촉매의 실용화를 위한 기초연구로 진행되었으며, hydrotalcite형 화합물 전구체로부터 얻어진 혼합금속산화물촉매(MMO)와 CO 환원제를 이용한 $N_2O$ 분해에서 $SO_2$ 및 $NH_3$ 등 성분이 촉매의 반응성과 내구성에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 분석하여 실용화에 대비한 기본 자료로 삼고자 하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 MMO 촉매는 CO 환원제와 같이 사용할 경우 $N_2O$ 분해 성능이 크게 향상되어 $200^{\circ}C$ 근처에서도 완전히 분해되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 $NH_3$ SCR에 의한 NOx 분해반응의 경우와 달리 $SO_2$ 영향이 치명적으로 나타나지 않았고, $NH_3$에 의한 효과도 미미하여 촉매의 활성점을 공유하는 불순물 성분 정도의 영향에 불과한 것으로 판단되었다.

A series of $Ce_1Mg_xZr_{1-x}O_2$ (CMZO) mixed metal oxide with different molar ratio were prepared by simple co-precipitation method. The prepared materials were tested for their catalytic activity performance using Knoevenagel condensation of various aromatic aldehydes with barbituric acid under solvent-free condition in microwave. The best catalytic activity was obtained with CMZO (1:0.6:0.4). The synthesized materials were characterized by using XRD, FT-IR, SEM-EDS techniques.

A series of MgO-SiO2 catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation from the mixed solution of magnesium chloride and sodium silicate. Some of the sample were modified with 1 N H2SO4 and used as modified catalysts. The addition of MgO to SiO2 caused the increase of acidity and the shift of O-H and Si-O stretching bands of the silanol group to a lower frequency in proportion to the MgO content. The acid structure of MgO-SiO2 agreed with that proposed by Tanabe et al.. Catalytic activity for 2-propanol dehydration increased in relation to the increase of acidity and band shift to a lower frequency.
