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 $Cu/ZnO/Cr_2O/Cr_2O_3/Al_2O_3$.

Castor oil can be used as a useful raw material for chemical industries such as intermediates of surfactants through hydrogenation reaction. In this study, effects of the preparation method and pretreatment condition on the nickel catalyst for the hydrogenation of castor oil were investigated. The nickel catalyst was supported on the silica carrier by the precipitation method with different Ni contents, solution pH values, and precipitants. Repeated pretreatments of oxidation and reduction cycles were then carried out. The activity of the nickel catalyst was measured by comparing the iodine value of the castor oil. The dispersion of nickel on the catalyst was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), $N_2$ adsorption-desorption, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The activity of nickel catalyst was also compared by CO oxidation experiments. The redispersion of nickel occurred on the silica by repeated oxidation and reduction cycles, and this effect contributed to promoting the castor oil hydrogenation activity.

일산화탄소를 수소로 변환하는 수성가스전환반응(WGSR)은 수소 생산, 연료개질 시스템뿐만 아니라 암모니아 제조, 제철소 제련과정등 일선 산업현장에서 널리 활용되고 있다. 상용공정에서의 WGS반응은 두 단계의 반응기(HTS/LTS)에서 각각 Fe/Cr, Cu/Zn기반 촉매를 사용하여 이루어진다. 하지만 이러한 촉매들은 공기중 자연발화성이 있고 사용전 환원과정이 필요하다. 또한 최근에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있는 귀금속 담지 촉매는 기존 촉매의 단점을 극복하고 활성이 높은 장점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서 제시한 페로브스카이트 촉매는 상용 촉매, 귀금속 담지촉매 시스템과의 비교를 위하여 제작된 촉매를 사용한 반응시스템과 기존 상용촉매를 사용한 반응시스템을 비교하여 개발 촉매의 성능 수준을 검토하였다. 이러한 결과 페로브스카이트 구조 촉매는 상용촉매의 공정상의 단점과 귀금속 담지촉매의 가격적인 측면에서의 단점을 동시에 극복한 촉매로서 성능 및 메탄화반응 억제 측면에서 우수성을 보유하고 있다는 것을 증명하였다. 이러한 페로브스카이트 구조 촉매의 반응특성을 규명하기 위해 문헌조사해본 결과 기존 수성가스전환반응에서 쓰이는 촉매들의 반응매카니즘은 대표적으로 formate와 redox 반응 두가지가 있었다. 페로스브스카이트 구조 촉매는 그 구조와 귀금속 함량, 활성 등 성능측면에서 귀금속 촉매와 상당히 유사한 측면이 있기 때문에 귀금속 담지 촉매의 반응속도식을 기본으로 하여 실험결과와 일치시켜 페로브스카이트구조 촉매에 맞는 반응속도식을 제시하고 이를 통한 반응파라미터 값을 도출하였다.

Palladium on carbon catalysts for hexafluoropropylene hydrogenation were prepared using imidazolium hexafluorophosphate with various cation parts. The morphology of palladium was relatively affected by the cation parts of the ionic liquid. With increasing alkyl chains of the ionic liquid cation, the shape of palladium particle changed from spherical to cylindrical due to the effect of steric stabilization. After calcination at $500^{\circ}C$, all catalysts possessed the comparable crystal structure. Under the identical reaction conditions, the catalyst prepared using the ionic liquid with hexyl chain in cation parts showed the most effective reactivity.

Pd/C catalysts were prepared by various preparation methods such as ion exchange, impregnation and polyol method and also characterized by nitrogen adsorption-desorption isothermal, XRD, FE-TEM and CO-chemisorption. The activities of these catalysts were tested in the hydrogenation of cyclohexene to cyclohexane. Catalytic activities of Pd/C catalysts were found to be effected by the chosen preparation methods. Pd dispersions of each Pd/C catalysts prepared by ion exchange, impregnation and polyol method were 17.55, 13.82% and 1.35%, respectively, confirmed by CO-chemisorption analysis. These were also in good agreement with the FE-TEM results. The Pd/C catalyst prepared by ion exchange method exhibits good performance with the cyclohexene conversion rate of 71% for 15 min. These results indicate that Pd/C catalyst having higher dispersion and lower particle size is in favor of hydrogenation cyclohexene and also Pd dispersion increases with the increment of catalytic activity.

Palladium particles were synthesized with 1-buthyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([Bmim][$CF_3SO_3$]) as an effective solvent during the synthesis. The morphology of the particles was affected by the concentration of [Bmim][$CF_3SO_3$]. Furthermore, the palladium on carbon powder was prepared with various [Bmim][$CF_3SO_3$] concentrations and calcinations temperatures as a catalyst for hexafluoropropylene hydrogenation. Catalytic activity was varied by both conditions significantly. Under the identical condition, the catalyst prepared by the same mole ratio of [Bmim][$CF_3SO_3$] and palladium, and calcined at $500^{\circ}C$ was the most active in this reaction.

삼중수소화 중수로부터 삼중수소를 가스상의 중수소로 이동시키기 위한 촉매교환 공정에는 친수성 촉매를 사용한 기상촉매교환공정과 소수성 촉매를 사용한 액상촉매교환공정이 있다. 소수성 촉매를 이용한 기상촉매교환공정은 기존의 두 가지 공정과는 설계 개념이 달라서 방사선 안전성과 설비의 규모면에서 독특한 특성을 가질 수 있으므로 촉매교환공정의 개발을 위한 첫 단계로 공정해석을 시도하였다. 소수성 촉매를 사용한 기상촉매교환공정은 액상촉매교환공정과 유사하게 1atm, 80~10$0^{\circ}C$에서 운전이 가능하므로 2.7atm, 20$0^{\circ}C$에서 운전되는 기존의 그것에 비해 방사선 안전성이 뛰어나나, 촉매층의 단수가 35%정도 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 반면에 액상촉매교환공정에 필요한 촉매층의 단수보다는 훨씬 적음을 알 수 있었다.

Al containing mesoporous molecular sieve (Al-MMS) was synthesized by hydrolysis of $H_2SiF_6$ and $Al(NO_3)_3{\cdot}9H_2O$. The material obtained was characterized by XRD, $N_2$-physisorption. The specific surface area was $981m^2/g$, and the average pore size was uniformity $39{\AA}$. It was confirmed that the acidity of Al-MMS was milder than that of zeolite Y based on the results of $NH_3$-TPD. Active materials, Pt and Pd, were loaded on Al-MMS in order to examine the feasibility of using Al-MMS as a catalyst support in the hydrogenation of aromatic compounds included in the residue oil of a naphtha cracker. The hydrogenation activity of PtPd/Al-MMS has been studied by following the kinetics of the hydrogenation of naphthalene, and by comparing the kinetic parameters obtained with Pt and Pd catalysts supported on the other mesoporous material support and commercial conventional support materials. PtPd/Al-MMS catalyst shows the highest activity of hydrogenation and sulfur resistance. The high activity of PtPd/Al-MMS was confirmed again in the hydrogenation of PGO (pyrolized gas oil), which is residue oil obtained from a naphtha cracker. Therefore, PtPd/Al-MMS can be applied to the hydrogenation of aromatic compounds included in the residue oil of a commercial naphtha cracker commericially.

Carbon has a large specific area and excellent chemical stability, so research on its use as a catalyst support is actively conducted. When using carbon as a support, the pretreatment process is essential. Through pretreatment of carbon, the growth of metal nanoparticles can be controlled and the bonding strength between the support and metal particles can be improved. In this study, carbon was pretreated for surface modification and 5 wt% Pd/C catalysts were synthesized using it as a support. Catalytic activity was evaluated through phenol hydrogenation. To compare with nitric acid, which is commonly used in carbon pretreatment, carbon pretreatment was performed using organic acid. Pd/C treated with gluconic acid showed the highest activity, with 94.93% phenol conversion and 92.76% cyclohexanone selectivity. Therefore, it is expected that pretreatment of the carbon support using organic acid will not only overcome the disadvantages of inorganic acid treatment but also improve catalyst performance.

Nickel-based bimetallic catalysts were investigated for use in direct borohydride/hydrogen peroxide fuel cells. For anode and cathode, PdNi and AuNi catalysts were used, respectively. Nickel-based bimetallic catalysts have been investigated through various methods, such as inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The performance of the catalysts was evaluated through fuel cell tests. The maximum power density of the fuel cell with nickel-based bimetallic catalysts was found to be higher than that of the fuel cell with the monometallic catalysts. The nickel-based bimetallic catalysts also exhibited a stable performance up to 60 minutes.
