In this study, we synthesized a new biocatalyst consisting of glucose oxidase (GOx), polyethyleneimine (PEI) and carbon nanotube (CNT) with addition of terephthalaldehyde (TPA) (TPA/GOx/PEI/CNT) for fabrication of glucose sensor that shows improved sensing ability and stability compared with that using other biocatalysts. Main bonding of the new TPA/GOx/PEI/CNT catalyst is formed by Aldol condensation reaction of functional end groups between GOx/PEI and TPA. Such formed bonding structure promotes oxidation reaction of glucose. Catalytic activity of TPA/GOx/PEI/CNT is evaluated quantitatively by electrochemical measurements. As a result of that, large sensitivity value of $41{\mu}Acm^{-2}mM^{-1}$ is gained. Regarding biosensor stability of TPA/GOx/PEI/CNT catalyst, covalent bonding formed between GOx/PEI and TPA prevents GOx molecules from becoming leaching-out and contributes improvement in biosensor stability. With estimation of the biosensor stability, it is found that the TPA/GOx/PEI/CNT catalyst keeps 94.6% of its initial activity even after three weeks.

We synthesized a variety of SAPO catalysts with various structure directing agents by the hydrothermal method and applied them to the D-xylose dehydration. Single or mixtures of organic amines, viz. tetraethylammonium hydroxide(TEAOH), dipropylamine(DPA), diethylamine(DEA), morpholine and diethanolamine(DEtA) were used as structure directing agents. The $N_2$-isotherm, $NH_3$-temperature programmed desorption(TPD) and temperature programmed oxidation(TPO) were conducted to characterize SAPO catalysts. Among tested SAPO catalysts, the SAPO-34 synthesized with morpholine showed the highest furfural yield. The external surface area as well as the surface concentration of acid sites appeared to affect the catalytic activity for the dehydration of xylose into furfural.

This paper reports the preliminary firing test performed with an ADN-based monopropellant using a 5 N scale thruster. ADN-based propellant and catalyst was fabricated and catalytic combustion of propellant was characterized by DSC-TG analysis. Although an explosion in the catalyst bed was occurred, high temperature in the catalyst bed obtained and demonstrated catalytic combustion of the propellant. Preliminary test results motivates the research for catalysts with better thermal stability.

The objective of this study is to develop effective and economical treatment processes for the removal of non-biodegradable organics by reusing the sludge generated from Fenton's Oxidation Process. It was found that about 50% of coagulants and 50% of catalyst can be reduced by reusing the sludge generated from Fenton's Oxidation Process. It was also found that the amount of sludge generation can be reduced in coagulation process and Fenton's Oxidation Process. From the results of bench-scale test, it was found that the average removal efficiency increased to 8.5% and the amount of sludge generation was reduced up to 35% by reusing the sludge as coagulant. The average organic removal efficiency increased to 5.3% and the amount of sludge generation was reduced up to 14% by reusing the sludge as catalyst in Fenton's Oxidation. It can be concluded that the reuse of sludge generated from Fenton's Oxidation Process would be reduced cost of chemical consumption and Fenton's sludge treatment.

Catalytic decomposition of nitrous oxide was investigated experimentally. Two noble metal catalyst (Pt, Ir) were chosen to decompose nitrous oxide. Each catalyst was tested with different chamber pressure and preheating temperature. Ir decomposed $N_2O$ at lower temperature ($230^{\circ}C$) and suitable for $N_2O$ decomposition. In addition, the minimum required preheating temperature decreased as the chamber pressure increased. However, deactivation of Ir catalyst was observed during the experiments.

Investigation was carried out lean burn de-NOx properties of Pt-$TiO_2$ bifunctional catalyst by propylene in order to get the high de-NOx activity and the wide temperature window under coexistence of $SO_2$ and $H_2O$. Only noncatalyst and carrier catalyst themselves had NOx conversion activity at high temperature over $400^{\circ}C$. NOx conversion activity of catalysts exchanged copper ion resulted in Cu-$TiO_2$>Cu-ZSM-5>Cu-$Al_2O_3$>CU-YZ>Cu-AZ. Catalysts impregnated with platinum based on titania gave the results of high NOx conversion activity at low temperature. $250^{\circ}C$. Bifunctional catalysts based on Pt-$TiO_2$ showed high NOx conversion activity both at a low zone of $300^{\circ}C$ and a high zone of $500^{\circ}C$. Pt-$TiO_2$/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst gave the highest NOx conversion activity at a low temperature zone. and Pt-$TiO_2$/$Mn_2O_3$(21) catalyst gave the highest NOx conversion activity at a high temperature zone. Under the coexistence of $SO_2$ and $H_2O$. NOx conversion activities of 0.55wt%Pt-$TiO_2$/5wt%Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst was high both at a low and high temperature zone, and increased depending on oxygen concentration. 0.55wt%Pt-$TiO_2$/5wt%Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst showed the best correlation between de-NOx activities and the propyl ere conversion rates to CO on the log function.

Oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butane over mesoporous Cr catalysts were studied. Catalysts were prepared by Cr impregnated method over Ti or Zr dispersed mesoporous support such as SBA-15, ${\gamma}$-alumina and characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, FT-IR UV-Vis and ICP-AES. The effect of high surface area was not noticed appreciably in terms of conversion, but for Cr catalysts with Ti and Zr-incorporated on SBA-15 and ${\gamma}$-alumina. showed high selectivity of trans-2-butene.

셀룰로스 직물은 easy care 성능을 부여하기 위하여 가교제로 처리된다. 현재 공업적으로 가장 많이 이용되고 있는 DMDHEU와 같은 N-methyol 가교제는 공정 중 또는 처리된 제품의 저장 중에 발암물질인 포름알데하이드를 유리시키는 경향이 있어 포름알데하이드를 유리시키지 않는 가교결합제의 개발이 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 이러한 비포르말린계 가교제 중 글리옥살은 그 성능은 매우 뛰어나지만 DP 처리시 사용되는 촉매인 aluminium sulfate는 처리직물의 강도저하와 황변을 일으키는 단점을 지니고 있다[1]. (중략)

Bio-based plastics containing the biomass content higher than 25 wt% have been considered as environment-friendly materials due to their effects on the reduction in the $CO_2$ emission and petroleum consumption as well as biodegradability after use. In this study, poly vinyl chloride, plant-derived plasticizers, by adding a biodegradable catalyst was observed a change in the biodegradability and physical properties. To produce the oxidative decomposition transparent bio film, which is broken down in the initial percent elongation and physical properties such as tensile strength, it was to test the safety of the product as a food packaging material. Poly vinyl chloride, primary plasticizer, secondary plasticizer, anti fogging agent, the combined stabilizer were mixed in a high speed mixer, then extruded using an extrusion molding machine, after cooling, winding, to produce a oxidative decomposition transparent bio film and the control film, with a thickness of $12{\mu}m$ through winder role. Mechanical properties tensile strength, elongation, and the maximum load elongation and biodegradation test. Transparent bio film produced by biodegradation catalyst is compared with the control film. Tensile strength and elongation of films were found to be no significant difference. Further, as a result of the biodegradation test for 45 days based on the ASTM D6954-04 method, biodegrability of film is 61.4%.
