Thermochemical 2-step methane reforming, involving the reduction of metal oxide with methane to produce syngas and the oxidation of the reduced metal oxide with water to produce pure hydrogen, was investigated on ferrite-based metal oxide mediums. The mediums, CoFZ, CuFZ, or MnFZ, were composed of the mixture of M(M=Co, Cu or Mn)-substituted ferrite as an active component and $ZrO_2$ as a binder, respectively. The WZ medium, composed of the mixture of $WO_3$ and $ZrO_2$, was also prepared to compare. With an addition of $ZrO_2$, the surface area of the mediums was slightly increased and the sintering of active components was greatly suppressed during the reduction. The higher reactivity of the reduced mediums for water splitting was confirmed by the temperature programmed reaction. From the results of the thermochemical 2-step methane reforming, the reactivity of $CH_4$ reduction and water splitting with ferrite-based metal oxide mediums was relatively higher than that with WZ, and the order of reactivity of the mediums was MnFZ>CoFZ>CuFZ>WZ.

We evaluated the optimal conditions for fluidization of nickel oxide (NiO) and its reduction into high-purity Ni during hydrogen reduction in a laboratory-scale fluidized bed reactor. A comparative study was performed through structural shape analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM); variance in pressure drop, minimum fluidization velocity, terminal velocity, reduction rate, and mass loss were assessed at temperatures ranging from 400 to $600^{\circ}C$ and at 20, 40, and 60 min in reaction time. We estimated the sample weight with most active fluidization to be 200 g based on the bed diameter of the fluidized bed reactor and height of the stocked material. The optimal conditions for NiO hydrogen reduction were found to be height of sample H to the internal fluidized bed reactor diameter D was H/D=1, reaction temperature of $550^{\circ}C$, reaction time of 60 min, superficial gas velocity of 0.011 m/s, and pressure drop of 77 Pa during fluidization. We determined the best operating conditions for the NiO hydrogen reduction process based on these findings.

Redox characteristics of cobalt oxide-based oxygen carriers were tested for chemical-looping combustion. Cobalt oxide was chosen as active metal oxide and $CoAl_2O_4$ was compared with YSZ(yttria-stabilized zirconia) as a binder. Cobalt oxide/$CoAl_2O_4$ was prepared by sol-gel method. Hydrogen fuel was reacted with metal oxide and then the reduced metal was successively oxidized by air. The effects of reaction temperature were measured and the regenerabilies during 10 cycles were examined by a TGA. In regenerability of cobalt oxide/YSZ and cobalt oxide/$CoAl_2O_4$, after they showed above 90% conversion in first reduction, they were stabilized in about 70-75% conversion. From reaction rate constant obtained, the activation energies of cobalt oxide/YSZ in oxidation and reduction were 51.47kJ/mol and 7.71kJ/mol respectively.

In this study, we examined the effects of boron doping on the dielectric reliability of solution processed aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$). When boron is doped in aluminum oxide, the hysteresis reliability is improved from 0.5 to 0.4 V in comparison with the undoped aluminum oxide. And the accumulation capacitance is increased when boron was doped, which implying the reduction of the thickness of dielectric film. The improved dielectric reliability of boron-doped aluminum oxide is originated from the small ionic radius of boron ion and the stronger bonding strength between boron and oxygen ions than that of between aluminum and oxygen ions. Strong boron-oxygen ion bonding in aluminum oxide results dielectric film denser and thinner. The leakage current of aluminum oxide also reduced when boron was doped in aluminum oxide.

The group of Fe(III) oxide-reducing bacteria includes exoelectrogenic bacteria, and they possess similar properties of transferring electrons to extracellular insoluble-electron acceptors. The exoelectrogenic bacteria can use the anode in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as the terminal electron acceptor in anaerobic acetate oxidation. In the present study, the anodic community was compared with the community using Fe(III) oxide (ferrihydrite) as the electron acceptor coupled with acetate oxidation. To precisely analyze the structures, the community was established by enrichment cultures using the same inoculum used for the MFCs. High-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene revealed considerable differences between the structure of the anodic communities and that of the Fe(III) oxide-reducing community. Geobacter species were predominantly detected (>46%) in the anodic communities. In contrast, Pseudomonas (70%) and Desulfosporosinus (16%) were predominant in the Fe(III) oxide-reducing community. These results demonstrated that Geobacter species are the most specialized among Fe(III)-reducing bacteria for electron transfer to the anode in MFCs. In addition, the present study indicates the presence of a novel lineage of bacteria in the genus Pseudomonas that highly prefers ferrihydrite as the terminal electron acceptor in acetate oxidation.

연소공정 내에서 질소산화물 배출을 저감하는 선택적 무촉매 환원장치 내부의 화학반응 및 저감효율에 대한 수치해석이 실행되었다. 선택적 무촉매 환원장치에서 저감된 질소산화물은 질소뿐만 아니라 아산화질소로도 전환된다. 아산화질소는 온실가스로써 지구온난화에 영향을 끼치기 때문에 선택적 무촉매 환원장치 내의 질소산화물 제어와 동시에 아산화질소 생성제어가 요구되어진다. 본 연구에서는 선행연구에서 실행된 실험과 온도조건과 가성소다의 첨가량이 동일한 선택적 무촉매 환원장치 내의 전산해석을 실시하고 비교하여 전산해석의 신뢰성을 확인하고, 가성소다 첨가량을 추가적으로 조절하여 질소산화물의 저감 효율과 아산화질소 생성량을 예측하였다. 전산해석은 후단의 측정점을 설정하여 각 물질의 질량분율을 확인하였다. 세부적으로는 측정점에서 유동방향에 수직한 면을 설정하여 온도 조건과 가성소다 첨가량에 따른 각 물질의 평균 질량분율을 비교하였다. 실험값과 전산해석에 의한 모사값은 최대 18.9%의 오차를 보이며 대체적으로 잘 예측됨을 확인하였으며 가성소다 첨가량을 증가시켰을 땐 70% 이상의 제거율의 온도 범위가 넓어지는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 반응온도의 낙차가 크고 잦은 폐기물 소각시설 등에서 효과적일 것으로 예상된다.

대부분 전기로 분진 처리공정은 전기로 분진으로부터 아연을 회수하기 위하여 전기로 분진에 함유된 산화아연의 환원제로 탄소를 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 산화아연의 탄소열환원반응에 관한 전기로 분진의 주성분 중의 하나인 산화철의 영향에 대하여 속도론적으로 조사되었다. 실험은 반응온도 1173 K-1373 K 범위에서 중량감량법을 이용하여 수행되었다. 실험결과, 적절한 량의 산화철 첨가는 산화아연의 탄소열환원반응 속도를 증진시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 산화철이 산화아연의 탄소열환원반응에서 탄소의 gasification 반응을 촉진시키기 때문으로 관찰되었다. 표면화학반응이 율속인 shrinking core model 1173 - 1373 K 범위에서 고체 탄소에 의한 산화아연의 환원반응 속도 데이터를 분석하는데 유용한 것으로 분석되었다. ZnO-C 반응계에서 활성화 에너지는 224kJ/mol (53 kcal/nol)로, $ZnO-Fe_{2}O_{3}-C$ 반응계에서 활성화 에너지는 175kJ/mol(42kca1/mol)로 그리고 ZnO-밀스케일-C 반응계에서 활성화 에너지는 184 kJ/mol (44 kcal/mol)로 각각 계산되었다.

The optimum route to fabricate nano-sized Fe-50 wt% Co and hydrogen-reduction behavior of calcined Fe-/Conitrate was investigated. The powder mixture of metal oxides was prepared by solution mixing and calcination of Fe-/Co-nitrate. A DTA-TG and microstructural analysis revealed that the nitrates mixture by the calcination at $300^{\circ}C$ for 2 h was changed to Fe-oxide/$Co_3O_4$ composite powders with an average particle size of 100 nm. The reduction behavior of the calcined powders was analyzed by DTA-TG in a hydrogen atmosphere. The composite powders of Fe-oxide and Co3O4 changed to a Fe-Co phase with an average particle size of 40 nm in the temperature range of $260-420^{\circ}C$. In the TG analysis, a two-step reduction process relating to the presence of Fe3O4 and a CoO phase as the intermediate phase was observed. The hydrogen-reduction kinetics of the Fe-oxide/Co3O4 composite powders was evaluated by the amount of peak shift with heating rates in TG. The activation energies for the reduction, estimated by the slope of the Kissinger plot, were 96 kJ/mol in the peak temperature range of $231-297^{\circ}C$ and 83 kJ/mol of $290-390^{\circ}C$, respectively. The reported activation energy of 70.4-94.4 kJ/mol for the reduction of Fe- and Co-oxides is in reasonable agreement with the measured value in this study.
