$V_{0.9}Sb_{0.1}O_x$ systems, bulk and deposited on different supports (five types of $\gamma$-aluminas, $\alpha$-alumina, silica-alumina, silica gel, magnesium oxide), have been tested in the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of iso-butane. Catalytic performance of VSb oxides has shown to be highly dependent on the support and the nature of the support decreasing in a series: $\gamma$-$Al_2O_3$ > $\alpha$-$Al_2O_3$ > Si-Al-O > $SiO_2$ $\approx$ MgO $\gg$ unsupported. Variation of the V-Sb-O-loading in the studied range of coverage (0.5-2 theoretical monolayer) only slightly influences the catalysts' activity and selectivity. The best catalytic performance of $\gamma$-alumina-supported $V_{0.9}Sb_{0.1}O_x$ systems can be explained by the optimal surface interaction between support and supported components resulting in the formation of well-spread amorphous active $VO_x$-component with vanadium in a high oxidation state.

To create an environmentally sustainable fuel with a low sulfur concentration, requires alternative sulfur removal methods. During the course of this study, a high surface gamma alumina-supported ZnO nanocatalyst with a ZnO/-Al₂O₃ ratio of 12% was developed and tested for its ability to improve the activity of the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) process for the desulfurization of kerosene fuel. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) were used to characterize the produced nanocatalyst. In a digital batch baffled reactor (20~80 min), the effectiveness of the synthesized nanocatalyst was tested at different initial concentrations of dibenzothiophene (DBT) of 300~600 ppm, oxidation temperatures (25~70 ℃), and oxidation periods (0.5, 1, and 2 hours). The baffles included in the digital baffled batch reactor resist the swirling of the reaction mixture, thus facilitating mixing. The ODS procedure yielded the maximum DBT conversion (95.5%) at 70 ℃ with an 80-minute reaction time and an initial DBT level of 600 ppm. The most precise values of kinetic variables were subsequently determined using a mathematical modelling procedure for the ODS procedure. The average absolute error of the simulation findings was less than 5%, demonstrating a good degree of agreement with the experimental results acquired from all runs. The optimization of the operating conditions revealed that 99.1% of the DBT can be removed in 140 minutes.

The cylindrical ${\gamma}$-alumina pellets were prepared using amorphous alumina and pore generating agent. Its were immersed in aqueous solution of the mixture of Fe(NO$_3$)$_3$.9$H_2O$ and $CH_3$COOH, Fe(NO$_3$)$_3$.9$H_2O$ and $CH_3$COOH and HNO$_3$, and Fe(NO$_3$)$_3$.9$H_2O$ and HNO$_3$. The pellets thus were hydrothermally treated at 20$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 h in autoclave, and were investigated morphologies and changes of crystal pore characteristics, $N_2$ adsorption and desorption isotherms, active sites and mechanical strength etc. According to the preparation method, acicular platelet pseudo-boehmite crystals of 0.1~0.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ size were transformed into acicular pseudo-boehmite cristals of 0.5~2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ size having the same crystal structure. When ${\gamma}$-alumina pellets were immersed in aqueous solution of the mixture of Fe(NO$_3$)$_3$.9$H_2O$ and $CH_3$COOH and then were hydrothermally treated, pore volume between 100 $\AA$ and 1000 $\AA$ was increased from 0.34 ㏄/g to 0.86 ㏄/g, and the gap of $N_2$ adsorption and desorption hysteresis loop was decreased due to increasement of pore size. New active site that could adsorb the C-H functional group was created on the catalist. Also, mechanical strength of catalyst was increased from 1.06 ㎫ to 1.36 ㎫.

We prepared cylindrical y-alumina pellets using amorphous alumina and pore generating agent. The pellets were immersed in an aqueous solution of the mixture of Fe(NO$_3$)$_3$ㆍ9$H_{2}O$ and $CH_3$COOH. They were then hydrothermally treated at 20$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 h in autoclave, dried and calcined. For the application of environmental catalyst for its, we investigated the decomposition characteristics of 4-chlorophenol and the initiation characteristics of OH' conversion action in $O_3$ environment with or without the Fe$_2$O$_3$ supported ${\gamma}$-alumina catalyst and $O_3$ molecule.

The metal-support interaction was studied in 1∼5wt% copper supported on $\gamma-alumina$ and titania systems by temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and EPR. When the samples were treated with oxygen at $500^{\circ}C$, the relative area of H2-TPR peak at higher temperature increased with copper content for titania system whereas that of lower temperature increased for ${\gamma}$-alumina system. After oxygen treatment at $500^{\circ}C,\;{\gamma}$-alumina system showed a TPR peak at $300^{\circ}C$ while two peaks at 120 and $180^{\circ}C$ were found in titania system. A typical $Cu^{2+}$ EPR signal was observed on ${\gamma}$-alumina but very broad and small one on titania. From the results, it was suggested that the metal-support interaction increases in the order of silica < titania < ${\gamma}$-alumina and copper oxide has different loading characteristics depending on the supports.

$CO_2$ sensor was used only one solid electrolyte in many cases. To improve the sensing characteristics of $CO_2$ sensors, solid electrolyte $CO_2$ sensor has been developed by bi-electrolyte type sensor using Na-Beta-alumina and YSZ. However, in many further studies, bi-electrolyte type sensor was made by pellet pressed by press machine and additional treatment for formation of interface. In the aspect of mass production, using thick film and additional treatment is not suitable. In this study, $CO_2$ sensor was fabricated by bi-electrolyte structure which was made by an NBA paste layer deposited on YSZ pellet and fired at $1650^{\circ}C$ for 2 hour. The formation of stable interface between YSZ and NBA were confirmed by SEM image. When the type IV electrochemical cell arrangement represented by $CO_2,O_2,Pt{\mid}Li_2CO_3-CaCO_3{\parallel}NBA{\parallel}YSZ{\mid}O_2,Pt$ is used to measure the $CO_2$ concentration in air. This sensor EMF should depend only on the concentration of $CO_2$ by logarithmic. Also, sensor shows $P_{CO_2}$ and EMF relationship like nerstian reaction at a temperature of $450^{\circ}C$.

We report the effective fabrication processes for more practical monolith catalysts consisting of washcoated alumina on a cordierite honeycomb monolith (CHM) and iron oxides nanoparticles in the alumina prepared by a simple dry coating method. It is confirmed that iron oxide nanoparticles were well deposited into the mesopore of washcoated alumina which is formed on the corner wall of honeycomb channel, and the effect of annealing temperature was evaluated for carbon monoxide oxidation catalysts. $Fe_2O_3/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3/CHM$ catalysts annealed at $350^{\circ}C$ exhibited the most enhanced catalytic activity, 100% conversion efficiency at more than $200^{\circ}C$ operating temperature.

Many materials such as silica gel, metallic oxide, activated alumina and alkaline earth metal carbonates were employed as filter media for gaseous oxides of ruthenium volatilized during high level radioactive waste processing. The adsorption efficiency of ruthenium on these materials was evaluated. For the purpose of observing behavior of ruthenium oxides, thermogravimetric analysis of ruthenium oxide in a stream of oxygen was carried out. The rate of volatilization was proportional to the square root of oxygen partial pressure, and increased exponentially with temperature. At $650^{\circ}C$, gaseous ruthenium oxides showed a strongly marked effect of deposition. Of all the materials available, calcium oxide proved to be the best that could be used to adsorb ruthenium.

Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) with pores of various diameter, density, and thickness values was obtained through control of the anodization parameters including voltage, temperature, pore widening time, anodization time, etc. The pore diameter was controlled by a pore widening in an etchant, and alumina templates having stepped nano-channels were fabricated by repetition of anodization and pore widening processes. Stepped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were then grown on the stepped AAO templates by pyrolysis of acetylene without using the catalyst. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy images revealed that CNTs have a multi-wall structure made of graphite flakes of several nm sizes. The current-voltage characteristic of the sloped and linear CNTs were also examined.
