In this study, we characterized steam reforming reactions and surface of $Ni/Al_2O_3$ catalysts. Ni-Mo based catalysts were prepared by loading Mo as the co-catalyst and reaction activities of the Ni-Mo based catalysts were compared with those of Ni-based catalysts. Through the $H_2$-TPR and XPS analysis it was confirmed that this characteristic efficiency. $O_2$-TPO analysis was performed to examine the deposition characteristics, bonding structures and evaporation characteristics of carbon deposited on the surface of catalysts after long run experiments were performed for steam reforming reactions. As the results, it was found that durability was improved in Ni-Mo based catalysts inhibiting formation of graphitic carbon species which reduced reaction activities of the catalysts by strongly interacting with Ni in the steam reforming reaction.

In this study, we performed numerical simulation for the catalyst regeneration process of diesel desulfurization reactor. We analyzed the changes in regeneration process according to purge gas flow rate, catalyst permeability, reactor size, and heat loss of reactor. We have found that the regeneration process is very much affected by temperature changes whereas it is hardly affected by catalyst permeability and porosity. We also estimated the regeneration time according to purge gas flow rate and initial temperatures and have found that increasing purge gas temperature is more effect for fast regeneration. The present results can be utilized to design a regeneration process of diesel desulfurization reactor for a fuel cell used in ships. Furthermore, the present work also can be used to design low sulfur diesel supply in oil refineries and therefore contribute to the development of clean petrochemical technology.

Activity improvement of Ni metal catalysts for carbon dioxide reforming was studied using HY-zeolite as the main supporter. As the reaction temperature increased, $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ conversions increased, and conversions higher than 80% was obtained above $700^{\circ}C$. As the Ni loading increased, the catalyst activity increased, and the highest activity was shown for the Ni loading of 13wt%. The HY-zeolite support showed the highest intial conversions of $CH_4$ and $CO_2$, but it showed faster deactivation than a ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ support. Nevertheless, it maintained the $CH_4$conversion higher than 80% after 24 hr reaction. The effect of promoters such as Mg, Mn, K, and Ca was also studied. It was observed that the Mg promotor exhibited the highest catalyst activity and less deactivation compared with Mn, K and Ca. After 24hr reaction, The optimum Mg content was found to be 5wt%.

Deactivation characteristics of $V_2O_5/TiO_2$ catalysts were studied for selective catalytic reduction(SCR) of NOx with ammonia in the presence of $SO_2$. Performance of catalyst was investigated for $deNO_x$ activity while changing temperature, $SO_2$ concentration. The activity of catalyst was decreased with the increase of $SO_2$ concentration and reaction time. Also, degree of activity drop was largely decreased with the increase of reaction temperature in the range of $250{\sim}300^{\circ}C$. Physicochemical properties of deactivated catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD, SEM, TPD analysis. According to the analysis results, deactivation phenomena occur due to the relatively high formation of ammonium sulfate salts, which created by unreacted ammonia and water in the presence of $SO_2$. It was revealed that ammonium sulfate cause the pore plogging of support and deposition of active matter.

In the steam reforming of methane reactions, the effect of adding noble metals Ru and Pd to a Ni-based catalyst as promoters was analyzed in terms of catalytic activity and hydrogen production. The synthesized catalysts were coated on the surface of a honeycomb-structured metal monolith to perform steam methane reforming reactions. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, TPR, and SEM, and after the reforming reaction, the gas composition was analyzed by GC to measure methane conversion, hydrogen yield, and CO selectivity. The addition of 0.5 wt% Ru improved the reduction properties of the Ni catalyst and exhibited enhanced catalytic activity with a methane conversion of 99.91%. In addition, reaction characteristics were analyzed according to various process conditions. Methane conversion of over 90% and hydrogen yield of more than 3.3 were achieved at a reaction temperature of 800 ℃, a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of less than 10000 h^-1, and a ratio of H₂O to CH₄ (S/C) higher than 3.

현재 인류는 플라스틱(plastic) 세상에 살고 있다. 의류, 식품, 주거 생활 곳곳에 플라스틱이 존재하며, 플라스틱이 없는 세상은 상상조차 할 수 없다. 하지만, 플라스틱 사용량 증가에 따른 폐플라스틱의 배출량의 증가는 심각한 환경문제들을 야기하여 생태계뿐만 아니라 인간에게도 위협이 되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 단순히 폐플라스틱의 처리에 그치지 않고, 이를 활용하여 새로운 고부가가치의 생성물을 제조하는 플라스틱 업사이클링(plastic upcycling) 시스템이 최근 주목을 받고 있으며, 현재 다양한 형태로 연구개발이 진행되고 있다. 그 중의 한가지로 본 기고문에서는 알칸 교차 복분해(cross alkane metathesis) 반응을 소개한다. 알칸 교차 복분해 반응은 수소화/탈수소화(hydrogenation/dehydrogenation) 반응과 올레핀 복분해(olefin metathesis) 반응으로 이루어져, 탈수소화 반응 후 생성된 이중결합 탄소를 갖는 두 개의 알켄 화합물이 자리바꿈을 통해 새로운 이중 결합을 형성하는 반응이다. 이 촉매반응 과정이 반복되면 저분자화된 새로운 알칸 화합물을 생성되는데, 이는 기존의 플라스틱 처리방식인 열분해 및 촉매 분해 공정보다 낮은 반응온도를 요구한다. 또한 이를 통해 상대적으로 높은 순도의 가솔린 및 디젤을 생성할 수 있기 때문에 폐플라스틱 처리 공정의 새로운 대안기술이 될 수 있다. 본 기고문에서 폐플라스틱 중 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 폴리에틸렌을 처리하는 대안기술로써 알칸 교차 복분해 반응의 메커니즘과 및 촉매의 역할, 그리고 반응성에 영향을 주는 인자에 대해 기술한다.

환경분야에서 광촉매는 주로 오염물질의 광분해처리에 이용되고 있는데, 기존에 사용되고 있는 광분해 방법은 광촉매 미립자를 수용액에 슬러리 형태로 분산시키거나 fixed bed, fluidized bed에 부착시킨 형태의 반응기들이다. 실험적 수준의 연구로부터 얻어진 여러 연구 결과에 의하면 슬러리 형태의 반응기가 고정화 촉매 반응기보다 효율이 더 높은 것으로 보고되고 있다. 그러나 엔지니어링 관점에서 슬러리형 반응기는 촉매의 재활용과 정화 처리 후 촉매입자를 유체로부터 분리해야하는 결점이 있다. (중략)

In this paper, the heat-transfer characteristics of steam reforming in an annular reactor are presented. Heat is supplied by the catalytic combustion of syn-gas. The thermal behaviors of exothermic and endothermic reactions in a directly coupled concentric-tube packed-bed reactor were investigated experimentally. The gas mixture supplied for catalytic combustion consisted of the off-gas emitted from MCFC anode. Methane in steam at a suitable S/C (steam-to-carbon) ratio was used in the reforming reactions. On the basis of the experimental results, a simple simulation was performed to predict the temperature profile required in the reforming side of the reactor to achieve optimum hydrogen yield. The results of this study may be utilized as reference data in future studies for further development of coupled reactors.
