The catalytic performance of silicon carbide supported nickel catalysts modified with or without second metal (Co, Cu and Zn) for the methanation of CO has been investigated in a fixed-bed reactor using a feed consisting of 25% CO and 75% $H_2$ without any diluent gas. It has been found that the introduction of Co species can clearly improve the catalytic activity of Ni/SiC catalyst, whereas the addition of Cu or Zn can result in a significant decrease in the catalytic activity. The characterizations by means of XRD, TEM, XPS, CO-TPD and $H_2$-TPR indicate that the addition of Co could decrease the particle size of active metal, increase active sites on the surface of methanation catalyst, improve the chemisorption of CO and enhance the reducibility of methanation catalysts. Additionally, the special interaction between Co species and Ni species is likely favorable for the dissociation of adsorbed CO on the surface of catalyst, and this may also contribute to the high activity of 5Co-Ni/SiC catalyst for CO methanation reaction. For 5Cu-Ni/SiC catalyst and 5Zn-Ni/SiC catalyst, Cu and Zn species could cover partial nickel particles and decrease the chemisorption amount of CO. These could be responsible for the low methanation activity. In addition, a 150h stability test under 2 MPa and $300^{\circ}C$ showed that 5Co-Ni/SiC catalyst was very stable for CO methanation reaction.

Nickel oxide was deposited on mesoporous silica by atomic layer deposition (ALD) consisting of sequential exposures to Ni(cp)2 and $H_2O$. NiO/silica samples were characterized by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), etc. The flow-type reactor was used to measure activity of NiO/silica catalyst for catalytic combustion of toluene. The activity of NiO/silica catalyst was evaluated in terms of toluene removal efficiency and selectivity to $CO_2$ and compared with those of bare nickel oxide nanoparticles. In order to investigate influence of reaction temperature on combustion aspect, the catalytic combustion experiments were carried out at various temperatures. We show that both bare and supported NiO can be efficient catalysts for total oxidation of toluene at a temperature as low as $250^{\circ}C$.

최근 들어 메탄올 환원제로 사용하는 이산화탄소의 촉매 개질 반응이 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 메탄에 의한 이산화탄소의 개질 반응 시 생성되는 합성 가스는 기존의 수증기 개질 반응에서 생성되는 합성 가스에 비하여 $H_2$/CO의 비가 낮으며 직접 메탄올 및 DME와 같은 유용한 물질로의 전환이 유리하므로 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 중에 있다.(중략)

금속질산염과 염화금산을 전구체로 사용하여 다양한 금속산화물($$Al_{2}O_{3}$, ZnO, $Fe_{2}O_{3}$, $Cr_{2}O_{3}$, $MnO_{2}$, CuO, NiO, $Co_{3}O_{4}$)에 담지된 금촉매를 공침법을 이용하여 제조한 후, 일산화탄소 산화반응에서 수분첨가의 영향을 검토하였다. 이들 중 $Co_{3}O_{4}$와 ZnO에 담지된 금촉매가 일산화탄소에 대하여 높은 활성을 보여주었다. 반응가스 중에 수분이 첨가될 때 Au/$Co_{3}O_{4}$ 촉매는 활성이 약간 감소하였으나, Au/ZnO 촉매에서는 활성이 크게 증가하여 수분에 의한 일산화탄소 산화 활성은 담체의 종류에 크게 의존함을 알 수 있었다. 반응가스 중에 포함된 수분에 관계없이 반응 전과 후의 Au(5 wt%)/ZnO 촉매의 금입자 크기는 거의 변하지 않아 활성이 감소되는 이유는 금입자들의 소결에 의한 영향보다는 카보네이트와 같은 화학종에 의해 불활성화가 일어남을 알 수 있었으며, 이 화학종은 수분의 첨가에 의해 이산화탄소로 분해되어 활성이 증가한 것으로 생각된다.

Ni 금속을 바탕으로 중형 기공성 실리카와 상용 실리카를 담체로 사용하여 메탄화 반응용 촉매를 제조, 특성 비교를 수행하였다. TPR, XRD 분석 결과, 중형 기공성 실리카에 담지된 Ni촉매는 상용 실리카에 담지된 Ni 촉매에 비하여 보다 작은 크기로 Ni 금속이 분산되었으며 보다 강한 금속-담체 상호 결합력을 가짐을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 특성으로 인하여 중형 기공성 실리카를 사용한 촉매와 상용 실리카를 사용한 촉매의 수율은 각각 65%, 58%로 중형 기공성 실리카를 사용한 촉매가 메탄화 반응에서 보다 높은 활성을 보였으며, 반응 후에 회수된 촉매의 특성 분석 결과로부터 중형 기공성 실리카를 사용한 촉매가 구조의 붕괴, 금속 소결 현상으로 인하여 촉매의 비활성화가 진행된 상용 실리카 촉매에 비하여 상대적으로 안정하다는 것을 확인하였다.

일산화탄소, 수소와 같은 친환경 연료용 가스를 이용하여 메탄화 반응을 거쳐 합성 가스를 생성하였다. 이를 위한 촉매로 상용 알루미나에 담지된 Ni-Co 이원 금속을 증착침전법을 사용하여 제조하였으며 제조된 촉매의 촉매 활성 비교를 위하여 Ni, Co 단일 금속 촉매를 동일한 방법으로 제조하였다. 제조한 촉매를 TEM, XRD, TPR 분석을 실시하여 각각의 촉매 특성을 확인하였고 메탄화 반응을 진행하여 합성 가스 전환율을 측정하였다. 증착침전법으로 제조한 촉매의 경우, 금속 입자가 작은 크기로 분산된 것을 확인하였다. Ni, Co 두 금속이 담지된 이원 촉매는 Ni, Co가 각각 담지된 단일 금속 촉매에 비해 더욱 높은 활성을 나타내었으며 TPR 분석 결과, 이는 두 금속의 공존으로 인한 상호 작용을 통해 활성 수소를 보다 증가시켰기 때문으로 나타났다.

WGS reaction over Mo2C and ceria based catalysts was investigated to develop an alternative commercial Cu-Zn/Al2O3 catalyst for fuel processor and hydrogen station. The Mo2C catalysts were prepared by a temperature programmed method and the various metal supported cerium oxide catalysts were prepared by an Impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized by the N2 physisorption, Co chemisorption, XRD, TEM and TPR. It was found that Mo2C and 0.2wt% Pt-40wt%, Ni/CeO2 catalysts had higher activity and stability than the Cu-Zn/Al203 above $260^{\circ}C$. Moreover, CO conversion of more than 85% was observed at $280{\sim}300^{\circ}C$. But all catalysts were deactivated during the thermal cycling runs. The results suggest that these catalysts are an attractive candidate for the alternative Cu-Zn/Al2O3 catalyst for fuel processor and hydrogen station applications.

Fe-Ni-Pt nanocatalysts were loaded on carbon black powders which were synthesized by a spontaneous reduction reaction of iron (II) acetylacetonate, nickel (II) acetylacetonate and platinum (II) acetylacetonate. The morphology and the loading weight of Fe-Ni-Pt nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analyzer. The amount of Fe-Ni-Pt catalyst supported on the carbon black surface was about 6.42-9.28 wt%, and the higher the Fe content and the lower the Pt content, the higher the total amount of the metal catalyst supported. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller Analysis (BET) specific surface area of carbon black itself without metal nanoparticles supported was 233.9 m²/g, and when metal nanoparticles were introduced, the specific surface area value was greatly reduced. This is because the metal nanocatalyst particles block the pore entrance of the carbon black, and thereby the catalytic activity of the metal catalysts generated inside the pores is reduced. From the I-V curves, as the content of the Pt nanocatalyst increased, the electrolytic properties of water increased, and the activity of the metal nanocatalyst was in the order of Pt > Ni > Fe.

The catalytic activity of transition metals (Cu, Co, Mn, Fe and Ni) supported on ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ for the oxidation of toluene was investigated in the microreactor of fixed-bed type. The catalytic activity of transition metals for the oxidation of toluene turned out to be increasing in the order of Ni$Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts for the oxidation of toluene increased with the increasing loadings of copper, reached the maximum activity at 5% loadings of copper, and decreased with higher loadings of copper in the catalysts. The activity of $Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts for the oxidation of toluene decreased with the increasing calcination temperatures. This might result from the decreasing surface area of catalysts due to the sintering of copper oxide as well as ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ supports. The 5wt% $Cu/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs in the air showed the highest activity for the oxidation of toluene. Mutual inhibition was observed for the binary mixture of toluene and xylene. The activity of the easy-to-oxidize toluene was greatly decreased while the difficult-to-oxidize xylene was slightly decreased in the binary mixture of toluene and xylene. It might suggest that the inhibition of toluene and xylene in the binary mixture resulted from the competitive adsorption for the adsorbed oxygen on the catalytic surface.

An ex-situ gravitational fixed bed pyrolysis reactor was used over Al₂O₃ supported Ni₂P based catalyst with various Ni/P molar ratios (0.5-2.0) and constant nickel loading of 5.37 mmol/g Al₂O₃ to determine the hydrodeoxygenation of rubberwood sawdust (RWS) at atmospheric pressure. The 3D catalysts formed were characterized structurally as well as acidic properties were determined by hydrogen-temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The Ni₂P phase formed completely on Al₂O₃ for 1.5 Ni/P ratio, although lesser crystallite sizes of Ni₂P were seen at Ni/P ratios less than 1.5. Additionally, it was shown that when nickel loading level increased, acidity increased and specific surface area dropped, probably because nickel phosphate is not easily converted to Ni₂P. When Ni/P ratio was 1.5, Ni₂P phase fully formed on Al₂O₃. The catalytic activity was explained in terms of impacts of reaction temperature and Ni/P molar ratio. At relatively high temperature of 450℃, the high-value deoxygenated produce was predominantly composed of n-alkanes. Based on the findings, it was suggested that hydrogenolysis, hydrodeoxygenation, dehydration, decarbonylation, and hydrogenation are all part of mechanism underlying hydrotreatment of RWS. In conclusion, the synthesized Ni₂P/ Al₂O₃ catalyst was capable of deoxygenating RWS with ease at atmospheric pressure, primarily resulting in long chained (C₉-C₂₄) hydrocarbons and acetic acid.
