Nickel oxide was recovered through roasting of a spent catalyst for hydrogenation reaction. Nickel on Kieselguhr catalysts were prepared by a precipitation method after a treatment of the recovered-nickel oxide with an acid. Effects of roasting temperature of the spent catalyst on recovery of nickel oxide was investigated. Most of nickel oxide could be recovered through roasting of the spent catalyst at $1000^{\circ}C$. In regeneration of catalysts by the precipitation method after the treatment of nickel oxide with an acid, the effect of promoter, precipitation condition and reduction condition on catalytic performance in vegetable oil hydrogenation were investigated. The addition of CaO or $Ce_2$$O_3$ resulted in an increase of catalytic activity.

Small amounts of potassium were added to the titania - supported cobalt catalysts in order to produce higher and olefinic hydrocarbons in CO hydrogenation. Titania and potassium played important roles not only for the enhancement of the production of higher and olefinic hydrocarbons, but also for the prevention of the catalyst deactivation by carbon deposits. Titania support induced the so - called SMSI, and potassium seemed to act as an electronic modifier, giving rise to an electron enrichment of the metallic phase.

다공성 무기막은 높은투과도와 뛰어난 내열.내화학성, 그리고 경제성 때문에 기존의 PSA공정이나 증류와 같은 고에너지 분리공정을 대체하는 공정으로 각광을 받고 있다. 무기재료막의 제조하는 방법으로 주로 알콕사이드를 사용하는 솔-젤법(1)과 금속(2) 또는 기상반응(3)을 이용하는 화학증착법이 사용된다. 또한 고온에서 수소를 연속적으로 분리하여 화학평형에 기인한 한계를 극복하여 높은 수율을 얻고자하는 막반응기에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $\alpha$-알루미나 지지체의 미세한 다공성 구조 내부에서 TEOS(Tetraethylorthosilicate)와 산성의 알코올-물 혼합물을 확산시켜 실리카 솔을 생성시킴과 동시에 젤화시켜 기공의 크기를 감소시켜 막을 제조하였다. 이렇게 제조된 막은 높은 투과도와 낮은 수소선택도(selectivity=3-4)를 보였고, 두번째 단계로 silica sol을 제조하여 진공 하에서 dip-coating을 행하였다. 이렇게 2단계로 기공 구조를 개선시킨 실리카 막은 저압에서 상대적으로 높은 수소의 분리도(selectivity=5-7)를 보였으며 여전히 높은 투과도를 갖는다.

This review focused carbon-free hydrogen productions from ammonia decomposition including inorganic membranes, catalysts and the presently studied reactor configurations. It also contains general information about hydrogen productions from hydrocarbons as hydrogen carriers. A Pd-based membrane (e.g. a porous ceramic or porous metallic support with a thin selective layer of Pd alloy) shows its efficiency to produce the high purity hydrogen. Ru-based catalysts consisted of Ru, support, and promoter are the efficient catalysts for ammonia decomposition. Packed bed membrane reactor (PBMR), Fluidized bed membrane reactor (FBMR), and membrane micro-reactor have been studied mainly for the optimization and the improvement of mass transfer limitation. Various types of reactors, which contain various combinations of hydrogen-selective membranes (i.e. Pd-based membranes) and catalysts (i.e. Ru-based catalysts) including catalytic membrane reactor, have been studied for carbon-free hydrogen production to achieve high ammonia conversion and high hydrogen flux and purity.

The aim of this study is the development of technologies of methanol production from carbon dioxide by catalytic hydrogenation. Experiments about carbon dioxide hydrogenation by catalyst mixed with CuO, ZnO, $Cr_2O_3$ and $Al_2O_3$ were conducted to find optimum catalyst and reaction condition. Reactions were carried out at atmospheric and high pressures between 200 to $350^{\circ}C$. High yield of methanol was obtained with $Cu/ZnO/Cr_2O/Cr_2O_3/Al_2O_3$ catalyst at $250^{\circ}C$ and above 30 atmospheric pressure. There was not any increament of hydrogenation reactivity for the catalysts which was made by the addition of Pd to $Cu/ZnO/Cr_2O/Cr_2O_3/Al_2O_3$.

Performance of a hydrogen generator for a fuel cell unmanned aircraft was evaluated as the change of temperature environment. Sodium borohydride ($NaBH_4$) was used as a hydrogen source due to its high hydrogen content and good storability. The hydrogen gas was generated by the hydrolysis reaction using a catalytic reactor. Reaction chambers were set up with the range of temperatures from -20 to $60^{\circ}C$. The hydrogen generation rate and temperatures changes of reactor and separator were measured at the $NaBH_4$ concentrations of 20 and 25wt.%. As a result, the hydrogen generation rate was decreased as the repeated reaction cycles. It showed that the hydrogen generation rate was stable at low temperature, while at high temperature the hydrogen generation rate was rapidly decreased. The performance degradation was mainly caused by the catalyst loss and $NaBO_2$ deposition on the catalyst surface.

가압 중수로형 원자력발전소에서는 중수 중의 중수소와 중성자의 반응에 의하여 수소동위원소인 삼중수소(트리튬)가 불가피하게 생성되는데 발전소의 가동 년수가 증가함에 따라 계통내 중수중의 삼중수소 농도도 증가하게 된다. 따라서 계통내 삼중수소화 중수로부터 삼중수소를 분리하여, 중수는 원자로로 순환하고 분리된 삼중수소는 별도로 저장할 필요가 있다. 이 과정에서 분리$\cdot$농축된 삼중수소는 방사성 물질일 뿐만 아니라 앞으로 핵융합 연구에 매우 중요하게 이용되어야 할 자원이기 때문에 이를 안전하게 저장하기 위한 기술(저장기술)과 경우에 따라 지정된 장소로 운반하기 위한 기술(운반기술)이 필요하다.(중략)

Naphthalene hydrogenation reaction was performed as a model reaction for coal liquefaction. Product distributions of tetralin and decalin are sensitive to reaction temperature and hydrogen pressure. At 380$^{\circ}C$, hydrogenation reaction using sulfided pellet catalysts gives poor reproducibility and several experimental methods are tried to examine its cause. It was inferred that H$_2$S had, most possibly, a great effect on this phenomena and the effect of H$_2$S was systematically investigated at 250$^{\circ}C$. It is possible that the intermediate hydroaromatic compound (tetralin) is maximized by changing the partial pressure of H$_2$S. It was identified that the partial pressure of H$_2$S could be another important factor in addition to the reaction time and temperature in coal liquefaction using sulfided catalysts.

Membrane reactors have been showing a promising future and attracted increasing attention in the scientific community as they possess advantages in terms of enhanced catalytic activity and selectivity, combination of processes (reaction and separation), simplicity in process design, and safety in operation. In particular, solid electrolyte membrane reactor principles are realized in fuel cells, electrolyzers and reactors for hydrogenation of carbon dioxide and other economically viable reactions. In this review, as a young generation of ion conducting materials, high temperature proton conductors are discussed in terms of the current status of material development and their various applications.
