The hydrogenolysis of cellulose into polyols was examined over Pt/$Cs_xH_{3-x}PW_{12}O_{40}$ catalysts containing different Cs fractions. The surface area and Pt dispersion of Pt/$Cs_xH_{3-x}PW_{12}O_{40}$ catalysts were found to increase with Cs content. Similar polyol yields were obtained over Pt/$Cs_xH_{3-x}PW_{12}O_{40}$ catalysts irrespective of their Cs content. The catalytic activity of Pt/$Cs_xH_{3-x}PW_{12}O_{40}$ was comparable to that of Ni/W/SBA-15 and combined catalytic systems such as Pt/AC+$H_3PW_{12}O_{40}$ and Pt/AC + $Cs_{3.0}PW_{12}O_{40}$. Some polyanion species were found to leach from the Pt/$Cs_xH_{3-x}PW_{12}O_{40}$ catalyst during the course of the reaction.

This paper proposes a novel multi-level energy recovery sustaining driver for AC PDP(Plasma Display Panel), which solves the problems of the conventional multi-level sustaining driver. While the conventional circuit improves the voltage md current stress of the switching elements in Weber circuit not only there are parasitic resonant currents between resonant inductors and parasitic capacitance and hard switching, but also the changing period between 0 and sustain voltage is too long. Comparing the proposed circuit with the conventional circuit, the number of components are reduced and the parasitic resonant currents in resonant inductors are eliminated Moreover the hard switching problem is solved by using CIM(Current Injection Method) and the operating frequency will be high as much as possible by removing Vs/2 sustain period. And the circuit operations of the proposed circuit are analyzed for each mode and the validity is verified by the simulations using PSpice program.

This paper proposes a new multi-level energy recovery sustaining driver for AC PDP(Plasma Display Panel), which solves the problems and maintains the merits of the conventional multi-level sustaining driver. While the conventional circuit improves the hard switching in the Weber circuit, there exist parasitic resonant currents in resonant inductors and Vs/2 sustaining period. Comparing the proposed circuit with the conventional circuit, the number of inductors are reduced by half, the parasitic resonant currents in resonant inductors are eliminated, and the hard switching problem is solved by CIM(Current Injection Method). Moreover the voltages across series-connected switching elements in the full bridge circuit are distributed equally by adopting NPC(Neutral Point Clamping) techniques. And circuit operations of the proposed circuit are analyzed for each mode and the validity is verified by the simulations using PSpice program and experimentation with a prototype drive circuit.

Date palm leaflets were used as a precursor to prepare dehydrated carbon (DC) via phosphoric acid treatment at 150℃. DC, acidified with H₃PO₄, was converted to activated carbon (AC) at 500℃ under a nitrogen atmosphere. DC shows very low surface area (6.1 m²/g) while AC possesses very high surface area (829 m²/g). The removal of lisinopril (LIS) and chlorpheniramine (CP) from an aqueous solution was tested at different pH, contact time, concentration, and temperature on both carbons. The optimal initial pH for LIS removal was 4.0 and 5.0 for DC and AC, respectively. However, for CP, initial pH 9.0 showed maximum adsorption on both carbons. Adsorption kinetics showed faster removal on AC than DC with adsorption data closely following the pseudo second order kinetic model. Adsorption increases with temperature (25℃–45℃) and activation energy (E_a) is in a range of 19–25 kJ mol/L. Equilibrium studies show higher adsorption on AC than DC. Thermodynamic parameters show that drug removal is endothermic and spontaneous with physical adsorption dominating the adsorption process. Column adsorption data show good fitting to the Thomas model. Despite its very low surface area, DC shows ~70% of AC drug adsorption capacity in addition of being inexpensive and easily prepared.

Activity carbon (AC), Cu and $Cu_2O$ modified $TiO_2$ composites (Cu/$Cu_2O$-AC/$TiO_2$) were prepared using a sol-gel method. The characteristics of the composites were evaluated using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. A methyl orange (MO) solution under visible light irradiation was used to determine the photocatalytic activity. The degradation of MO was determined using UV/Vis spectrophotometry. $Cu_2O$, Cu and the cooperative effect of the AC increased the photo-absorption effect, thus increasing in photocatalytic activity.

The sensorless AC motor drive is a popular topic of study due to the cost and reliability of speed and position sensors. Most sensorless algorithms are based on the mathematical modeling of motors including electrical variables such as phase current and voltage. Therefore, the accuracy of such variables largely affects the performance of the sensorless AC motor drive. However, the output voltage of the SVPWM-VSI, which is widely used in sensorless AC motor drives, has considerable errors. In particular, the SVPWM-VSI is error-prone in the low speed range because the constant DC link voltage causes poor resolution in a low output voltage command and the output voltage is distorted due to dead time and voltage drop. This paper investigates a novel high-performance strategy for overcoming these problems in a sensorless ac motor drive. In this paper, a variation of the DC link voltage and a direct compensation for dead time and voltage drop are proposed. The variable DC link voltage leads to an improved resolution of the inverter output voltage, especially in the motor's low speed range. The direct compensation for dead time and voltage drop directly calculates the duration of the switching voltage vector without the modification of the reference voltage and needs no additional circuits. In addition, the proposed strategy reduces a current ripple, which deteriorates the accuracy of a monitored current and causes torque ripple and additional loss. Simulation and experimentation have been performed to verify the proposed strategy.

In order to substitute incandescent lamps, a power supply device for 7W class LED lamps which are environmentally friendly and energy saving is designed LED lamps consist of a multitude of chip LED connected in parallel and series. 11ms it is necessary to supply LED lamps with DC voltage and current. However, when LED lamps are in use, they are connected directly to AC 220V. This is why we need to have AC/DC, DC/DC power converters including a control system of voltage and current. For this, a transformerless and simple LED lamp driver is designed 조ich can control the current and output voltage for LED string of LED lamp.

The operational cost for maintaining the superconductivity of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) cables needs to be reduced for feasible operation. It depends on factors such as AC loss and heat transfer from the outside. Effective operation requires design optimization and suitable operational conditions. Generally, it is known that critical currents increase and AC losses decrease as the operational temperature of liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) is lowered. However, the cryo-cooler consumes more power to lower the temperature. To determine the effective operational temperature of the HTS cable while considering the critical current and AC loss, critical currents of the HTS cable conductor were measured under various temperature conditions using sub-cooled $LN_2$ by Stirling cryo-cooler. Next, AC losses were measured under the same conditions and their variations were analyzed. We used the results to select suitable operating conditions while considering the cryo-cooler's power consumption. We then recommended the effective operating temperature for the HTS cable system installed in an actual power grid in KEPCO's 154/22.9 kV transformer substation.

This paper proposes the feedforward compensation method of output voltage with 3phase AC/DC PWM converter on DC distribution system for improved response. AC/DC PWM converter on DC distribution is required power supply of high quality because of renewable energy sources and load links. In general, Feedforward compensation method of 3phase AC/DC PWM converter receives the sensor input to the output current, load power. Resulting, error of the sensing values and communication cause time delay. Therefore, Feedforward compensation method through only the output voltage is proposed in this paper. The feedforward compensation method through only the output voltage can be applied to the two-level AC/DC PWM converters, as well as multi-level converter or inverter.
