In this study, a Cu/hexaaluminate catalyst was prepared by a co-precipitation method, and then a binder was added to form a pellet. A catalyst in which Ni and Ru promoters were added to a Cu/hexaaluminate pellet catalyst was prepared. This study focused on examining the effect of the addition of Ni and Ru promoters on the properties of Cu/hexaaluminate catalysts and the decomposition reaction of ADN-based liquid monopropellants. Cu/hexaaluminate catalysts had few micropores and well-developed mesopores. When Ru was added as a promoter to the Cu/hexaaluminate pellet catalyst, the pore volume and pore size increased significantly. In the thermal decomposition reaction of ADN-based liquid monopropellant, the decomposition onset temperature was 170.2 ℃. Meanwhile, the decomposition onset temperature was significantly reduced to 93.5 ℃ when the Cu/hexaaluminate pellet catalyst was employed. When 1% or 3% of Ru were added as a promoter, the decomposition onset temperatures of ADN-based liquid monopropellant were lowered to 91.0 ℃ and 83.3 ℃, respectively. This means that the Ru promoter is effective in lowering the decomposition onset temperature of the ADN-based liquid monopropellant because the Ru metal has excellent activity in the decomposition reaction of ADN-based liquid monopropellant, simultaneously contributing to the increase of the pore volume and pore size. After the thermal treatment at 1,200 ℃ and decomposition of ADN-based liquid monopropellant were repeatedly performed, it was confirmed that the addition of Ru could enhance the heat resistance of the Cu/hexaaluminate pellet catalyst.

발전소 계통의 부식의 원인은 여러가지가 있으나 그 중 용존산소에 의한 덴팅이나 점식등은 증기발생기에 심각한 영향을 줄 수 있다. 용존산소를 제거하는 방법은 기계적 방법과 환원제를 사용하는 화학적 방법, 그리고 촉매를 이용하는 방법등이 있는데 이중 촉매를 이용하는 방법이 우수한 것으로 평가되고있다. 본 연구는 촉매탑을 이용하여 용존산소를 제거하는 공정에 있어서 여러가지 촉매를 사용하여 용존산소가 제거되는 것을 실증하였고 각 촉매의 성능을 비교하였다. 그 결과 Lewatit OC-1045 촉매가 가장 우수한 성능을 보였다. 촉매탑 실험시 물질전달 계수를 측정하고 이 값과 촉매탑 모델링을 이용하여 실제 발전소 계통에 부착시켜 응용할 수 있는 촉매탑 설계를 수행하였다.

이 논문에서는 디젤자동차용 LNT와 SCR 촉매의 NO, $NH_3$ 흡착 및 탈리의 기본 특성과 수열화 온도와 시간 및 정량화된 황피독 농도에 대한 de-$NO_x$ 촉매의 내구성을 평가하였다. LNT 촉매는 열적으로 열화됨에 따라 Pt 및 Ba의 소결 및 응집으로 활성이 떨어져 $NO_x$ 전환율은 감소하였다. 반면에 Pt의 비활성화로 중간생성물인 $NH_3$ 생성량은 증가하였으며, 이때 생성된 $NH_3$는 LNT+SCR 복합시스템의 SCR 촉매의 환원제 역할을 담당한다. 1.0 g/L 이상의 황이 피독된 LNT 촉매는 탈황을 하여도 질소 산화물 흡장물질(Ba) 의 성능이 회복이 되지 않아 $NO_x$ 전환율은 회복되지 않았으며, 탈황 후 Pt 재활성화로 인해 NO2 및 SCR 환원제인 $NH_3$ 생성량은 증가하였다. SCR 촉매의 $NO_x$ 전환율은 $700^{\circ}C$ 36h, $800^{\circ}C$ 24h로 수열화 시킨 촉매는 전이금속 입자 성장 및 zeolite 구조 파괴로 인하여 급격하게 떨어졌으며, 0.36 g/L 황 피독된 촉매는 zeolite가 가지는 강산성 특정으로 내피독성이 강하여 탈황시 $NO_x$ 전환율은 회복되었다.

Aqueous thermal liquefaction of rice, barley, wheat, and rapeseed straws was investigated to compare the amount of heavy oil with catalysts such as $K_2CO_3$, NaOH and KOH in the reaction temperature at $320^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes. The reaction was carried out in a 5,000ml liquefaction system with dispenser and external electrical furnace. Raw materials (160g), 2,000ml of distilled water and 10% (wt/wt) of catalyst to plant residue were fed into the reactor. It was observed that the maximum heavy oil yield was about 29% from the feeding stock, barley straw, with addition of KOH. The caloric values of crude oil from different crop residues were ranged from 55% to 66% relative to the raw materials depend on crop residue. It was appeared that its maximum calorific value from wheat straw was approximately 6190 kcal/kg.

The study on the characteristics of nitrous oxide catalytic decomposition was carried out to utilize the nitrous oxide as a propellant. The Pt, Ir and Ru were synthesized to select a high performance catalyst for the nitrous oxide decomposition reaction. The respective catalyst precursors were loaded in the $Al_2O_3$ support using an wet impregnation method. The $N_2O$ conversion as a variation of space velocity and reaction temperature was measured using a tubular reactor. The catalyst loss was measured to evaluate the durability of catalysts after the reaction at $800^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The $N_2O$ conversion was increased at the decrease of space velocity and at the increase of temperature. The Ru/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst had the highest $N_2O$ conversion at low temperature and the best durability.

고연소속도 HTPB/AP 추진제를 얻기 위하여 현재 각광받고 있는 3종의 철화합물 연소촉매를 선정하여 연소속도 증진효과와 기계적 특성, 공정성 및 노화특성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 사용한 철 화합물은 HTPB 프리폴리머에 silicone-ferrocene이 그라프트된 $BUTACENE^$\circledR$$ 과 결합제 역할을 하는 acylaziridinyl ferrocene(AAF), 그리고 입자크기가 30nm인 $NANOCAT^$\circledR$$ superfine iron oxide(SFIO)이었다. 이들 철 화합물을 추진제에 적용한 결과 공정성의 경우 $BUTACENE^$\circledR$$ 은 혼합점도가 높았으나 pot life의 감소는 없었으며 AAF와 SFIO는 혼합점도는 비교적 낮은 반면 pot life가 현저히 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 추진제의 노화거동은 연소촉매를 사용하지 않았을 때보다 저하되었으나 metal deactivating 산화방지제인 $PRO-TECH^$\circledR$$ 과 함께 사용할 경우 공정성 및 노화특성 모두 바람직한 수준으로 향상되었다. 기계적 특성은 SFIO를 제외하고는 저하되었으며 $BUTACENE^$\circledR$$ 은 프리폴리머로서, AAF는 결합제로서의 기능이 다소 미흡하였다. 한편 연소촉매의 함량에 따른 촉매효과는 AAF>SFIO>$BUTACENE^$\circledR$$ 순이었고 철 함량 측면에서는 AAF>$BUTACENE^$\circledR$$ >SFIO 순이었다.

The characteristics of nitrous oxide catalytic decomposition were studied to utilize the nitrous oxide as a propellant. The Ru and Pt were selected as nitrous oxide decomposition catalysts and loaded in the $Al_2O_3$ support using an impregnation method. The nitrous oxide conversions as a variation of GHSV and reaction temperature were measured in a tubular reactor. At the low GHSV and high temperature, the conversion was increased, and Ru/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst showed better performance than Pt/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst.

The characteristics of thermal-resistance catalyst for $N_2O$ propellant decomposition were studied in the present study. Si was added to the $Al_2O_3$ support to stabilize its surface area at high temperature (> $1000^{\circ}C$). Ru was used as a catalyst for $N_2O$ decomposition. The prepared catalysts were characterized using SEM, EDS and XRD analysis, and $N_2O$ conversion was measured as reaction temperatures. The Ru/$Al_2O_3$-Si catalyst showed better performance than Ru/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst.
