막반응기는 반응물이나 생성물을 선택적으로 분리함으로써 반응과 분리를 동시에 수행한다. 이러한 막반응기는 주로 열역학적인 평형에 의해 전화율이 제약되는 반응의 전화율을 높이기 위해서 연구되어 왔다. 수소의 저장 방법의 하나인 액상 하이드라이드법에서 저장된 수소를 다시 분리해 내기 위해 사용되는 사이클로헥산의 탈수소화 반응에 대해 많은 연구가 이루어졌다. 그러나 앞선 연구자들의 결과는 막의 투과도가 낮아서 반응기의 performance가 투과율에 의해 결정된다고 보고하였다. 본 연구에서는 막의 투과도와 촉매 양의 변화에 따른 사이클로헥산 탈수소화 반응의 전화율 변화를 전산모사함으로써, 최적 혹은 최대의 전화율을 나타내는 투과도 및 촉매 양을 결정하는 방법을 제시한다.

In this study, an experiment of sewage sludge dewatering is carried by using electrokinetic method, and the electrokinetic dewatering efficiency of digested sludge is analyzed. Digested sludge without coagulants is selected and gravitational and pressing dewatering methods are applied in combination with electro-osmotic and electro-osmotic pulse technology. After the test of digested sludge, dewatering test of thickened sludge is carried to evaluate the electrokinetic dewatering feasibility of thickened sludge. Under the condition of constantly applied voltage, however, electrical resistance increases with decreasing of water content so that dewatering rate decreases with time. To reduce such a hindrance caused by constantly applied voltage, electro-osmotic pulse technology which is considered to reduce the difference of water content with height, is applied. For the application of electro-osmotic pulse, the dewatered flow rate and the dewatered volume became more increasing from the middle of the dewatering process than that of continuous voltage. Through the test of thickened sludge, electro-osmotic dewatering combined with gravitational and expression also showed high dewatering rate, which proved the possibility of using electrokinetic dewatering.

Cyclohexanone is important intermediate for the manufacture of caprolactam which is monomer of nylron. Cyclohexanone is generally produced by dehydrogenation reaction of cyclohexanol. In this study, highly mesoporous metal oxides such as meso-$WO_3$, meso-$TiO_2$, meso-$Fe_2O_3$, meso-CuO, meso-$SnO_2$ and meso-NiO were synthesized using mesoporous silica KIT-6 as a hard template via nano-replication method for dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol. The overall conversion of cyclohexanol followed a general order: meso-$WO_3$ >> meso-$Fe_2O_3$ > meso-$SnO_2$ > meso-$TiO_2$ > meso-NiO > meso-CuO. In particular, meso-$WO_3$ significantly showed higher activity than the other mesoporous metal oxides. Therefore, the meso-$WO_3$ has wide range of application possibilities for dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the effective operation method by developing prediction model for the gas production rate, an indicator of the effectiveness of anaerobic digestion tank, using data mining. At the result, gas production estimate model is developed by using ANN within 10% error. It is expected to help operation of anaerobic digestion by suggesting selected parameter. Meanwhile case based reasoning is applied to develop dewatering cake management technology. Case based reasoning uses the most similar examples of past when a new problem occurs, therefore in this study, management measures are developed that proposes dewatering cake minimization with the minimum change by applying the case based reasoning to sludge disposal process.

For recylcing of high purity tantalum (Ta) scrap, We investigated manufacture of tantalum powder using hydride-dehydride (HDH) process. Tantalum had excellent properties such as ductile, hardness and high melting point. Usually these properties made difficult to make a powder. In this study, Tantalum powder was manufactured using Tantalum hydride via hydridation. Tantalum hydride was formed at $500^{\circ}C$, 5 hr/$700^{\circ}C$, 3 hr and it is easy to make a tantalum hydride powder because hydrogen in the tantalum act as a defect dislocation and lattice expansion. The powder was pulverized to a size of less than $10{\mu}m$ under a condition of 1300 rpm, 30 min using a ring mill, and tantalum powder with less than 50 ppm hydrogen was prepared through dehydridation in an Ar and low vacuum atmosphere.

This study was carried out to evaluated for dewaterability of sewage sludge using waste oystershell and loess. The Jar-Test and the Buchner funnel test were proceeded for the assessment of dewaterability of a thickened sludge and digested sludge. TTF(Time to Filter), SRF(Specific Resistance to Filtration) were adopted as the valuation indices of sludge dewaterability. Dewatering conditioner which composed of both oystershell and loess is much dewaterable than the one composed of only oystershell. In the course of combining with oystershell and loess, the following fact was found that the dewaterability of the combination which have the higher ratio of oystershell than that of loess is superior. The most suitable oystershell :loess ratio of dewatering conditioner is 9:1 in treating both thickened sludge and digested sludge.

Anaerobic digestion is employed worldwide as the oldest and most important process for sludge stabilization. An additional advantage is the production of methane during anaerobic digestion. However, the waste activated sludge(WAS) has poor anaerobic degradability and less gas production due to the cell wall of bio-solid. In order to improve and enhance stabilization and dewatering of the WAS, a number of pretreatment processes have been developed and investigated. In this research, a pilot-scale study of pulse power pretreatment was performed to improve anaerobic degradability and dewaterability of the WAS. A pilot plant was designed and operated based on a previous laboratory study. Change of the sludge characteristics by pulse power pretreatment was estimated to assess the increasing soluble organics. The increased soluble organics could be used as a good substrate in the anaerobic digesion process. Gas production and methane potential of the anaerobic digestion were estimated as the parameters of anaerobic degradability. For evaluation of the dewaterability of pretreated WAS, capillary suction time(CST) and specific resistance were measured. The efficiency of energy recovery was also estimated by calculating energy balance.

The influence of phosphorous precursors, $NH_4H_2PO_4$, $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, $H_3PO_4$, $(C_2H_5)_3PO_4$, and $P_2O_5$, on the catalytic performance of the $BiFe_{0.65}MoP_{0.1}$ catalysts in the oxidative dehydrogenation of 1-butene to 1,3-butadiene was studied. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, $N_2$-sorption, ICP, SEM and TPRO analyses. It was not observed big difference on the physical properties of catalysts in accordance with used different phosphorous precursors, however, the catalytic performance was largely depended on the nature of the phosphorous precursors. Of various precursors, the $BiFe_{0.65}MoP_{0.1}$ oxide catalyst, which was prepared from a phosphoric acid precursor, showed the best catalytic performance. Conversion and yield to butadiene of the catalyst showed 79.5% and 67.7%, respectively, after 14 h on stream. The cation of phosphorous precursors was speculated to affect the lattice structure of the catalysts during catalyst preparation and this difference was influenced on the re-oxidation ability of the catalysts. Based on the results of TPRO, it was proposed that the catalytic performance could be correlated with re-oxidation ability of the catalysts.

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.

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.
