In solid reaction of the eqimolecular mixture of $BaCO_3$ and $TiO_2$, $CO_2$ generates by the following reaction ; $BaCO_3 + TiO_2\longrightarrow$ $BaTiO_3 + CO_2$ The solid reaction is studied as the kinetics of decomposition reaction with DTA-TG. The results are as follows. 1. $BaCO_3$ with is coexisted with $TiO_2$ decompose at lower temperature than pure $BaCO_3$. The reason is decreasing free eneragy of products. 2. Carter's equation is more important than Jander's equation in solid reaction of $BaCO_3$ decomposi-tion. The activation energy obtained by Carte r's equation is 42.8 Kcal/mol.

In this study, we investigated the decomposition of highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide in the range of 1.04-2.55 M by transition metal ion catalysts such as $Fe^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$. The effect of metal ion concentration on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was examined experimentally, and the decomposition rate constants were determined by combining the experimental data with a theoretical approach. The rate of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was found to be first order with respect to its concentration. The decomposition rate constant was able to be treated as a linear function of the initial metal ion concentration. The validity of the decomposition rate constants determined was verified by good agreements between the calculated and experimental results.

Various types of compounds were tested with the aspects of decomposition and formation of residue in a $CO_2$ or 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. The evaporation temperature range of each compound was determined from thermogravimetric curve. Decomposition of dicarbon amide, stearic acid, acrowax and zinc stearate was studied by thermogravimetry in $CO_2$ or in 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. All compounds were decomposed in $CO_2$ atmosphere at lower than 40$0^{\circ}C$, but the residue, ZnO remained for zinc stearate. ZnO did not decompose in $CO_2$ atmosphere up to 130$0^{\circ}C$, but reduced into Zn metal and disappeared in the temperature range of $600^{\circ}C$ to 120$0^{\circ}C$ in 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. The effect of residue, which trapped in closed pores of sintered pellet, on the thermal stability was studied using the resintering test at 1$700^{\circ}C$ in 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. In the case of oxidative sintered pellet with admixing zinc stearate, the cavity formation accompanied with a density drop after resintering is due to the pressure of the Zn gases trapped in the isolated pores.

This study investigated the effects of elevated $CO_2$ and nitrogen addition on the anaerobic decomposition mediated by microorganisms to determine the microbial metabolic pathways in the degradation of organic matters of the sediments. There were statistically significant differences(P < 0.05) in the rates between denitrification and methanogenesis upon increased $CO_2$ concentration, nitrogen addition, in the presence of plants. Based on the assumption that anaerobic degradation of organic matter mainly occurs through denitrification, iron reduction, and methanogenesis, methanogenesis is the dominant pathways in the decomposition of organic matter under the condition of elevated $CO_2$ and nitrogen addition. In addition, the altered environment increased anaerobic carbon decomposition. Therefore, it can be concluded that freshwater wetland sediments have positive effects on the global warming by the increased methanogenesiss as well as increased anaerobic carbon decomposition.

The objective of this study is the development of carbon recycle technology which converts $CO_2$ captured from flue gas to CO or carbon and reuse in industrial fields. Since $CO_2$ is very stable and difficult to decompose, metal oxide was used as an activation agent for the decomposition of $CO_2$ at low temperature. Metal oxides which convert $CO_2$ to CO or carbon at $500^{\circ}C$ were prepared using Zn-ferrite by the solid state reaction and hydrothermal synthesis. The behaviors of $CO_2$ decomposition were studied using temperature programmed reduction/oxidation (TPR/TPO) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). Zn-ferrite containing 5 wt% ZnO showed the largest reduction and oxidation. Reduction by $H_2$ was 26.53 wt%, oxidation by $CO_2$ was 25.73 wt% and 96.98% of adsorbed $CO_2$ was decomposed to $CO_2$ and carbon with excellent oxidation-reduction behaviors.

This study provides an investigating the electrolyte reaction characteristics during thermal runaway of a lithium-ion battery(LIB). Dimethyl carbonate(DMC) is known as the main substance that makes up the electrolyte. The mono-molecular decomposition characteristics of DMC were derived through numerical analysis. Cobalt oxide can release oxygen under high temperature conditions. Also, DMC is converted to CH₄, H₂, CO, and CO₂. Especially, it was found that the decomposition of the DMC begins at a temperature range of 340-350℃, which dramatically increases the internal pressure of the LIB. In the by-products gases, the molar ratio of CO and CO₂ changed according to the molecular structure of DMC and temperature conditions. The correlation of the [CO]/[CO₂] ratio according to the temperature during thermal runaway was derived, and the characteristics of the reaction temperature could be estimated using the molar ratio as an indicator. In addition, the oxidation and decomposition characteristics of DMC according to the residence time for each temperature were estimated. When DMC is exposed to low temperature for a long time, both oxidation and decomposition may occur. There is possibility of not only increasing the internal pressure of the LIB, but also promoting thermal runaway. In this study, internal environment of LIB was identified and the reaction characteristics between the active materials of the cathode and electrolyte were investigated.

This paper proposed the effective treatment method for organic substances using the barrier discharge plasma process and catalytic chemical reaction followed from ozone decomposition. The decomposition by the plasma process of organic substances such as trichloroethylene, methyl alcohol, acetone, and dichloromethane carried out, and ozone is generated effectively at the same time. By passing through catalysts, ozone easily decomposed and further decomposed organic substances. And, 2-dimensional distribution of ozone using the optical measurement method is performed to identify the catalytic surface chemical reaction. In addition, CO is easily oxidized into $CO_2$ by this chemical reaction, which might be induced oxygen atom radicals formed at the surface of catalyst from ozone decomposition.

Co-ferrite nanoparticles have been synthesized by the decomposition of iron(III) acetylacetonate, $Fe(acac)_3$ and Co acetylacetonate, $Co(acac)_2$ in benzyl/phenyl ether in the presence of oleic acid and oleyl amine at the refluxing temperature of $295^{\circ}C$/$265^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. before cooling to room temperature. Particle diameter detected by PSA can be turned from 4 nm to 20 nm by seed-mediated growth and reaction conditions. Structural and magnetic characterization of Co-ferrite were measured by use of HRTEM, SAED (selected area electron diffraction), XRD and SQUID. The as-synthesized Co-ferrite nanoparticles have a cubic spinel structure and coercivity of 20 nm $CoFe_{2}O_{4} nanoparticles reached 1 kOe at room temperature and 18 kOe at 10 K.

In general, the decomposition of $CaSO_4$ formed by sulfation reaction in the in-furnace desulfurization process using limestone has strong effect on the desulfurization reaction under the oxy-fuel combustion condition. In this study, the conversion rates were measured and reaction rates were calculated in order to investigate the effects of the experimental variables such as temperature and the concentrations of $CO_2$, $O_2$, $SO_2$, on the $CaSO_4$ decomposition reaction using DTF (Drop Tube Furnace) in the desulfurization reaction. The conversion rate and the reaction rate of $CaSO_4$ decomposition reaction were increased with reaction temperature. $CO_2$ concentration has little effect on $CaSO_4$ decomposition reaction in the presence of $O_2$. Under the same experimental conditions, the decomposition rate of $CaSO_4$ was enhanced with the decreasing the $O_2$ concentration, but vice versa with the increasing of $SO_2$ concentration.
