$TiO_2$- and $SiO_2$-supported $Co_3O_4$, Pt and $Co_3O_4$-Pt catalysts have been studied for CO and $C_3H_8$ oxidations at temperatures less than $250^{\circ}C$ which is a lower limit of light-off temperatures to oxidize them during emission test cycles of gasoline-fueled automotives with TWCs (three-way catalytic converters) consisting mainly of Pt, Pd and Rh. All the catalysts after appropriate activation such as calcination at $350^{\circ}C$ and reduction at $400^{\circ}C$ exhibited significant dependence on both their preparation techniques and supports upon CO oxidation at chosen temperatures. A Pt/$TiO_2$ catalyst prepared by using an ion-exchange method (IE) has much better activity for such CO oxidation because of smaller Pt nanoparticles, compared to a supported Pt obtained via an incipient wetness (IW). Supported $Co_3O_4$-only catalysts are very active for CO oxidation even at $100^{\circ}C$, but the use of $TiO_2$ as a support and the IW technique give the best performances. These effects on supports and preparation methods were indicated for $Co_3O_4$-Pt catalysts. Based on activity profiles of CO oxidation at $100^{\circ}C$ over a physical mixture of supported Pt and $Co_3O_4$ after activation under different conditions, and typical light-off temperatures of CO and unburned hydrocarbons in common TWCs as tested for $C_3H_8$ oxidation at $250^{\circ}C$ with a Pt-exchanged $SiO_2$ catalyst, this study may offer an useful approach to substitute $Co_3O_4$ for a part of platinum group metals, particularly Pt, thereby lowering the usage of the precious metals.

Cr(III) and Co(III) complexes with acetylacetonate were anchored onto a mesoporous MCM-41 through Schiff condensation. The materials were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, BET, CHN and ICP techniques. Elemental analysis of samples revealed that one C=N bond was formed through Schiff condensation on MCM-41 surface. The catalysts were tested for the alcohol oxidations using t-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) and $H_2O_2$ as oxidant. The catalytic experiments were carried out at both room temperature and reflux condition. Various solvents such as dichloromethane, acetonitrile and water were examined in the oxidation of alcohols. Among the different solvents, catalytic activity is found more in acetonitrile. Further, the catalysts were recycled three times in the oxidation of alcohols and no major change in the conversion and selectivity is observed, which shows that the immobilized metal-acetylacetonate complexes are stable under the present reaction conditions.

페놀 습식산화에 미치는 반응온도($150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$), 산소분압(25.8~75.0 bar) 및 초기 pH(1.0~12.0)의 영향을 10 g/l의 페놀 초기농도를 사용하여 조사하였다. 습식산화속도는 화학적 산소요구량 COD를 이용하여 산출하였으며 반응 중간 생성물들을 고성능액체크로마토그래피를 사용하여 측정하였다. 습식산화 중 페놀 분해속도는 페놀에 대하여 1차 반응차수를 나타냈으며, COD 변화는 lumped 모델로 잘 묘사할 수 있었다. 금속이온($Cu^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Ce^{3+}$) 균일촉매의 습식산화 중 페놀 분해속도 및 COD 제거속도에 미치는 영향도 조사하였다. 페놀 분해속도 및 COD 제거속도는 $CuSO_4$를 사용한 촉매습식산화에서 가장 크게 나타났으며 촉매농도를 증가시킴에 따라 증가하였다. 습식산화 중 생성되는 개미산의 분해속도는 반응온도 및 $CuSO_4$ 농도를 증가시킴에 따라 증가하였다. 난분해성 생성물 초산의 최종농도는 반응온도를 증가시킴에 따라 증가하였으나 $CuSO_4$ 농도를 증가시킴에 따라 감소하였다.
