몰리브덴(Mo)은 우수한 전기전도도와 고온 안정성으로 인해 전자부품의 전극으로 널리 사용되고, 미래 에너지인 태양전지 분야에서 CIS계 화합물박막태양전지의 후면전극으로 이용되고 있는 재료로서 현재 증착 방법으로는 D.C. sputtering이 가장 널리 이용되고 있다. 또한 $MoO_3$ 분말이 Mo 분말로 수소 환원되는 과정은 $MoO_3+H_2{\rightarrow}MoO_2+H_2O$ 와 $MoO_2+2H_2{\rightarrow}Mo+2H_2O$의 2단계를 통해서 수행되며 이중 첫 번째 단계에서 $MoO_3(OH)_2$라는 기상을 통해 지배적으로 일어난다고 알려져 있고 이를 화학증기수송(Chemical vapor transport : CVT)이라고 한다. 본 연구에서는 $MoO_3$분말의 수소 환원 과정 중에 발생하는 기상인 $MoO_3(OH)_2$을 이용하여 몰리브덴 옥사이드 박막을 증착하고 이를 다시 수소분위기에서 수소 환원하는 증착 방법을 통해 균일하고 부착성이 우수한 Mo 박막을 제조하고자 하였다. 기판으로 사용된 Glass를 $MoO_3$ 분말 위에 홀더를 이용하여 $MoO_2$ 박막을 증착하고 이를 다시 수소분위기에서의 수소 환원을 통해 Mo 박막을 성공적으로 제조하였다. 제조된 Mo박막의 결정구조 및 미세조직을 XRD 와 SEM을 통해 분석하였다.

A study on the recovery of lithium and leaching behavior of NCM powder by hydrogen reduction for NCM system Li-ion battery scraps was investigated. The reductive rate was about 93% at $800^{\circ}C$ by hydrogen treatment. The lithium carbonate with 99% purity was manufactured by using $CO_2$ gas and washing method with water for NCM powder after hydrogen reduction. As a result of comparing the powders before and after the hydrogen reduction treatment for acid leaching behavior we obtained 32% enhanced leaching rate of cobalt, 45% enhanced leaching rate of nickel and the 90% leaching effect for manganese by hydrogen reduction at 2M $H_2SO_4$ concentration condition.

The catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide has been studied for the fixation of carbon dioxide to mitigate global warming problems, but it needed hydrogen, which the price is still high. Recently, the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide has been drawn attractions because carbon dioxide could be converted to the valuable chemicals such as methane, ethane and alcohols electrochemically in the electrolyte solution using a catalytic electrode. This system is simple because the water electrolysis and hydrogenation take place at the same time using the surplus electricity at midnight. In this work, a continuous electrochemical reduction system was fabricated, which was composed of the reduction electrode (copper or perovskite type, $2{\times}2cm^2$), reference electrode(platinum, $2{\times}6cm^2$), standard electrode(Ag/AgCl), and potassium bicarbonate electrolyte solution saturated with carbon dioxide. The quality and quantity of the products and reduction current were analyzed, according to the electrolyte concentration and electrode type.

Distribution of tellurite and tellurate-reducing enzymes in the cell of Nocardia sp, the purifcation and the chemical properties of enzymes were investigated. Tellurite- and tellurate-reducing enzymes were located in the cytoplasm, but T. T. C. reduction part was in the cell membrane. Purification of tellurite- and tellurate-reducing enzymes was possible with the application of ammonium sulfate precipitation method and DEAE-Cellulose or CM-Cellulose column chromatographic method from the crude soluble part of the cell. On investigating the properties of purified enzyme, one of NADP, NADPH and reductive methylene blue(leucomethylene blue) was thought to react as a hydrogen donor. Both NADH and NADPH, or either of them would be physiological hydrogen donor.) In the reaction of this enzyme, either tellurite or tellurate reacts as a hydrogen acceptor, but on the other hand either selenate or selenate also reacts as a hydrogen acceptor.

The experimental study on the reduction of $In_2O_3$ was performed by using thermogravimetric analyzer. The reduction of $In_2O_3$ was occurred at above $300^{\circ}C$. The reduction rates were rapidly increased with the reaction temperature, whilehardly affectedby the flow rate of hydrogen gas. It was found that the unreacted core model could be applied for the analysis of the reduction data and the rate control step was the chemical reaction of $In_2O_3$ with hydrogen on the surface of unreacted $In_2O_3$. The apparent activation energy for this reaction was 20kcal/g-mol $H_2$ and the rate equation of $In_2O_3$ reduction with hydrogen could be expressed in the following equation. ${\frac{dX}{dt}}=1.6{\times}10^5e^{-20000/RT}(1-X)^{2/3}$

Approximate rate and stoichiometry of the reaction of ten compounds which contain functional group such as nitrile, nitro, halogen and one of these functional group together with a carbonyl group by the two phase reduction were tested at room temperature. Nitrile, nitro and halogen were all inert under these condition. Therefore selective reduction of carbonyl group in the presence of these group were examined. Thus m-nitrobenzaldehyde, m-nitroacetophenone, p-bromoacetophenone and p-cyanobenzaldehyde were reduced to corresponding alcohols in excellent yields, 95∼100 %.

A novel method for the synthesis of titanium hydride powder from titanium tetrachloride via the magnesiothermic reduction in an hydrogen gas atmosphere was investigated. To examine the influence of temperature on the formation of titanium hydride, the reduction was conducted at 1023~1123 K under 1 atm of hydrogen gas atmosphere for approximately 30 min. Subsequently, the titanium hydride powder was sintered by maintaining the temperature for 0~120 min, and the decrease in the oxygen concentration of the powder was investigated. The experimental results showed that TiH_1.924 was produced at 1023 K, whereas mixtures of TiH_1.924 and TiH_1.5 were produced at 1073 K and 1123 K. In addition, the hydrogen concentration in the powder decreased with increasing temperature. The concentration of oxygen in the powder decreased with increasing temperature and sintering time owing to the decrease in the specific surface area of the powder. The minimum concentration of oxygen was 0.246 mass% when the mixture of TiH_1.924 and TiH_1.5 was obtained at 1073 K and a sintering time of 120 min.

Vapor grown carbon fiber (VGCF) nano-materials such as carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers were directly grown on the surface of the stainless steel mesh pre-treated by reduction. The reduction of the stainless steel mesh by hydrogen formed small catalytic particles and large particles with bi-modal distribution on the metal surface. When the VGCFs were synthesized on the reduced mesh, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were dominantly grown from the small catalytic particles without supplying hydrogen gas. However, carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were dominantly grown from the large catalytic particles with hydrogen.

$Al_2O_3$, $TiO_2$, $ZrO_2$, $Al_2O_3-TiO_2$, $Al_2O_3-ZrO_2$, 및 $TiO_2-ZrO_2$ 혼합 산화물을 지지체로 한 Ni 기반 혼합 산화물을 졸-겔법으로 제조하였다. 제조된 혼합 산화물은 1173K에서 열처리 한 후 구조적 특성 변화를 전자현미경 및 X-선 회절 분석을 이용하여 관찰하였으며, 수소를 이용한 승온 환원(TPR; temperature-programmed reduction) 실험을 통하여 1173K 까지 각 시료들의 환원 피크를 비교 고찰하였다. $Al_2O_3$ 또는 $TiO_2$ 가 혼합된 시료의 경우 1173K 에서의 열처리 후 니켈 알루미네이트 또는 니켈 티타네이트와 같은 새로운 결정상의 생성이 관찰되었으나 $ZrO_2$가 혼합된 경우에는 새로운 결정상의 생성이 관찰되지 않았다. TPR 결과에 의하면, $Al_2O_3$ 또는 $TiO_2$를 혼합된 시료의 경우 벌크 NiO의 TPR 결과와는 달리 생성된 새로운 결정상에 기인한 여러 개의 환원 피크가 나타났으나 $ZrO_2$를 혼합한 경우 벌크 NiO와 비슷한 환원 피크를 보였다. TPR 결과를 기초로 Arrhenius plot 으로부터 각 혼합 산화물들의 수소 환원 활성화 에너지를 도출하였다. $ZrO_2$를 지지체로 사용하는 경우 다른 혼합 산화물들보다 지지체로서 안정한 혼합 산화물상을 형성한다는 것을 지시하듯이 상대적으로 가장 낮은 활성화 에너지를 나타냈다.

Dry reduction using natural gas was proposed to recover tin from waste tin oxide generated in a tin bath that was used for controlling the smoothness of architectural glass during production, and the reduction behavior was investigated. The utilized vertical natural gas dry reduction system is capable to process 4 L or 20 kg depending on input raw materials. The system was established by applying the upper intake and lower discharge method. The recovery rate was 97.2% at 800 ℃ and 4 sccm flow rate and increased with the amount of input gas. Hydrogen accounted for 23% of the discharge gas, showing a 16.6% hydrogen conversion rate. The reaction behavior of tin recovered via natural gas reduction provides basic data on the new waste resource reduction/recovery technology.
