Reformers which produce hydrogen from natural gas are essential for the operation of residential PEM fuel cells. For this purpose, steam-methane reforming reactions with Ni catalysts is primarily utilized. Commercial Ni catalysts are generally made to have porous pellet shapes in which Ni catalyst particles are uniformly dispersed over Alumina support structures. This study numerically investigates the reduction of catalyst effectiveness due to the mass transport resistances posed by porous structures of spherical catalyst pellets. The multi-component diffusion through porous media and the accurate kinetics of reforming reaction is fully considered in the numerical model. The preliminary results on the variation of the effectiveness factor according to different operation conditions are presented, which is planned to be used to develop correlations in future studies.

석탄액화반응의 촉진을 위하여 기존에 사용되어 온 담지촉매는 coking, metal deposition, pore plugging의 문제로 인하여 촉매의 활성을 지속적으로 유지할 수 없으며 고가이기때문에 최근에는 이러한 문제점을 보완할 수 있는 고분산 균일촉매에 관한 연구가 집중적으로 수행되고 있다. 그러나 분산촉매 중에서도 고활성을 나타내는 Mo, Ni, Co 성분은 고가이므로 이를 대체할 수 있는 촉매로서 값이 싼 Fe 성분에 관심이 모아지고 있지만 현재로서는 자체활성이 상대적으로 낮으므로 퍼센트단위의 많은 양을 사용해야하는 문제점을 안고 있다고 할 수 있다.

최근 들어 메탄올 환원제로 사용하는 이산화탄소의 촉매 개질 반응이 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 메탄에 의한 이산화탄소의 개질 반응 시 생성되는 합성 가스는 기존의 수증기 개질 반응에서 생성되는 합성 가스에 비하여 $H_2$/CO의 비가 낮으며 직접 메탄올 및 DME와 같은 유용한 물질로의 전환이 유리하므로 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 중에 있다.(중략)

The conversion of carbon dioxide to value-added compounds has been attracted to solve the environmental problems due to the climate change caused by greenhouse effect in addition to recycle the abundant and renewable carbon source. For utilizing carbon dioxide to useful compounds, the development of catalysts and optimization of experimental conditions are indispensable since carbon dioxide is the most stable one among carbon compounds and the a certain amount of energy is required for the carbon dioxide conversion. The technologies developed for the electrochemical carbon dioxide conversion were reviewed in terms of electrocatalyst which can be electrode material, inorganic complex, and enzyme. This field should be developed further since no good catalyst having selectivity, efficiency, and stability all together.

Primary amines react with 1,6-hexanediol at 180$^{\circ}C$ for 5 h under argon atmosphere in the presence of both $RuCl_3{\cdot}3H_2$O and $PR_3$ to give N-substituted perhydroazepine derivatives in good yields. For aromatic amines such as anilines, $RuCl_3{\cdot}3H_2$O combined with $PPh_3$ showed the highest catalytic activity. On the other hand, in the reaction of aliphatic amines, $RuCl_3{\cdot}3H_2$O combined with $PBu_3$ showed the highest catalytic activity. These differences may be attributed to the difference in the basicity of these amines. Less basic aromatic amines may require less basic phosphines, while more basic aliphatic amines may require more basic phosphines as the ligands.

Various polymer metal complexes have been synthesized from anhydrous $AlCl_3,\;FeCl_3,\;SbCl_5,\;SnCl_4\;and\;ZnCl_2$ with cation exchange resin in carbon disulfide solvent. The forms of the surfaces and sectioned beads of these polymer metal complexes have been observed using scanning electron probe microanalyzer. To examine the catalytic activity of polymer metal complexes, the esterification of various dibasic acids with alcohols have been carried out. Polymer metal complexes were found to be the effective catalyst for esterification of dibasic carboxylic acids.

Fatty acid methyl esters, also referred to as biodiesel, have been determined to have a great deal of potential as substitutes for petro-diesel. In order to enhance productivity in the biodiesel production process, feedstocks were previously recommended to be anhydrous, with a free fatty acid content of less than 0.5%. In this study, the effects of several catalysts, methanol molar ratio, catalyst amount, and reaction time on the reduction of free fatty acid level were studied with a simulated feedstock consisting of 20% oleic acid in rapeseed oil. Ferric sulfate was selected as the best catalyst. Increasing the catalyst amount and methanol molar ratio is very effective in decreasing the acid value of the simulated mixture. Our results may provide useful information with regard to the development of more economic and efficient free fatty acid removal system.

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.

We report on the simple preparation method of large-scale structured catalysts by temperature-regulated chemical vapor deposition with a high cell-density ceramic honeycomb monolith. And the feasibility for dry reforming of methane catalysts was evaluated. The NiO/Cordierite (CDR) catalyst was prepared by controlling coating conditions at each temperature step, leading to a conformal deposition of NiO inside the cordierite honeycomb monolith with the cell density of 600 cpsi. The catalytic conversion of $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ for dry reforming of methane were about 83% and 90% with gas hourly space velocity of $10,000h^{-1}$ at $800^{\circ}C$, respectively. As a result, it exhibited that the temperature-regulated chemical vapor deposition method can be expedient for the preparation of large-scale structured catalysts.
