The butane decomposition over the catalyst is an attractive method for the hydrogen production. The objective of the work was investigated the catalysis of carbon black in butane decomposition reaction. The Butane decomposition was performed over carbon black catalyst in a range of $500-1100^{\circ}C$. The butane conversion of thermal decomposition and catalytic decomposition were increased with increasing the reaction temperature The butane conversion of the thermal decomposition was higher than the butane conversion of the catalytic decomposition. Hydrogen and methane were mostly observed in the butane decomposition over $1000^{\circ}C$. Especially, the hydrogen yield was steadily increased with raising the reaction temperature, It could be known that the hydrogen yield of the catalytic decomposition was higher than one of the thermal cracking because the hydrogen productivity was improved by the catalyst. The deactivation of the catalyst was not observed in the reactivity test. The surface and crystalline of the fresh and used catalysts were characterized by TEM, BET surface area and XRD analysis, respectively. The fresh carbon black particles had mostly smoothly round-shaped surfaces. In the surface of the carbon black after the reaction, the deposited carbon was formed as the protrusion-shaped carbon and the cone-shaped. The proper peaks of carbon black appeared in XRD analysis.

This study investigates the aging characteristics of NOx storage and reduction(NSR) catalyst on the emission conditions of lean burn natural gas vehicles. We designed various NSR catalysts using by the double-layer washcoat technology to increase of a surface area and a thermal durability performance of the catalysts. The experiments were conducted with 3 kinds of the NSR catalysts, which were manufactured using by a honeycomb cordierite substrate. It was found that Ba is weak in the thermal aging because it has lower melting temperature than that of precious metals (PMs). The suitable loading amount of Ba in this study should be about 42 g/L from the results of the NOx adsorption and the NOx reduction efficiency. The major reason in deactivation of the NSR catalyst is the decrease of the adsorption site owing to the agglomeration and sintering of Ba rather than PM aging by hydrothermal aging. It was confirmed by results of BET, SEM and TEM.

Stringent regulations of exhaust emission from vehicles become a major issue in automotive industries. In SI engines, it is one of the crucial factor to reduce exhaust emissions during cold start in order to meet stringent regulations such as SULEV or EURO-4, because SI engines emit a large portion of total harmful exhaust compounds when they are cold. At early stages of cold start in gasoline engines, exhaust gas temperature plays a key role to improve three way catalyst by virtue of fast warmup. Therefore, this study focused on the increase of exhaust gas temperature under controls of engine operating parameters such as spark ignition timing, valve overlap by virtue of intake VVT and catalyst heating function. Furthermore, effects on harmful emission due to these parameters are also investigated. Experiments showed that retarded spark ignition timings and increased valve overlap may be helpful to increase exhaust gas temperature. It was also found that $NO_x$ was decreased with increased valve overlap. This study also showed that sudden changes in ISA and amount of fuel due to the deactivation of catalyst heating function cause temporal increase of harmful emissions.

All the $Ni-Co-Ce-ZrO_2$ mixed oxides are prepared by co-precipitations methods. Methanation of CO and $H_2$ reaction is screened tested over different fractions of cerium (2, 4, 7 and 12 wt.%) over $Ni-Co/ZrO_2$ bimetallic catalysts are investigated. The mixed oxides are characterized by XRD, CO-Chemisorption, TGA and screened methanation of CO and $H_2$ at $360^{\circ}C$ for 3000 min on stream at typical ratio $CO:H_2=1:1$. In $Ni-Co/CeZrO_2$ series 2 wt.% Ce loading catalyst shows most promising catalyst for $CH_4$ selectivity than $CO_2$, which directs more stability with less coke formation. The high activity is attributed to the better bimetallic synergy and the well-developed crystalline phases of NiO, $ZrO_2$ and $Ce-ZrO_2$. Other bimetallic mixed oxides NCoZ, $NCoC^{4-12}Z$ has faster deactivation with low methanation activity. Finally, 2 wt.% Ce loading catalyst was found to be optimal coke resistant catalyst.

The intermittent nature of renewable energy is a challenge to overcome for safety and stable performance in water electrolysis systems linked to renewable energy. Oxygen removal using the catalyst is suitable for maintaining the oxygen concentration in hydrogen below the explosive level (4%) even in intermittent power supply. Metals such as Pd, Pt, and Ni are expected to be effective materials due to their hydrogen affinity. The oxygen removal performance was compared under high hydrogen concentration conditions by loading on γ-Al₂O₃ with high reactivity and large surface area. The characteristics of the catalyst before and after the reaction were analyzed through X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, H₂-temperature programmed reduction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscope, etc. The Pd catalyst that showed the best performance was able to lower 2% oxygen to less than 5 ppm. Changes in catalyst characteristics after the reaction indicate that oxygen vacancies are related to oxygen removal performance and catalyst deactivation.

고온에서 진행되는 프로판 탈수소 반응에서 촉매의 불활성화의 주된 원인은 코크 침적, 소결현상이 있다. 이러한 불활성화를 줄이는 촉매를 연구하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 열적 안정성이 높은 $MgAl_2O_4$ 를 담체로 적용하여 프로판 탈수소 반응용 촉매로의 활용성을 확인하고자 하였다. Alcohthermal method로 $MgAl_2O_4$를 소성온도 800, 900, $1000^{\circ}C$로 달리하여 제조하였고, Pt와 Sn을 공동함침법으로 담지하여$Pt-Sn/MgAl_2O_4$촉매를 제조하였다. 열적안정성의 확인을 위해 반응온도를 고온의 650, $600^{\circ}C$에서 진행하였다. 반응실험 결과 반응온도에 상관없이 담체의 소성온도가 $800^{\circ}C$인 담체적용 촉매일 때 프로판 탈수소반응 실험의 전환율과 수율이 담체소성온도가 900, $1000^{\circ}C$인 담체적용 촉매보다 높은 것을 확인하였고, 반응온도가 고온인 $650^{\circ}C$일 때는 $Pt-Sn/{\theta}-Al_2O_3$보다도 더 높은 수율을 가지는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 특성분석으로는 TGA, BET, XRD, CO-화학흡착, SEM-EDS 분석을 실시하였다. $MgAl_2O_4-800^{\circ}C$가 좋은 수율과 Pt분산도 및 적은 불활성화 정도의 관계를 서로 연관 지어 확인하였다.

Pentamethylcyclopentadienyltitanium trichloride, bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium dichloride ($Cp_2TiCl_2$), and bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)titanium dichloride were used in the polymerization of styrene without the aid of Group I-III cocatalysts. The properties of the resulting polymer indicated that polymerization was more controlled than in thermal polymerization. The kinetic studies indicated that a lower level of termination is present and that the polymer chain can be extended by adding an additional monomer. To elucidate the mechanism of polymerization, a series of experiments was performed. All results supported the involvement of a radical mechanism in the polymerization using $Cp_2TiCl_2$. The possibility of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) mechanism was investigated by isolating the intermediate species. We could confirm the activation step from the reaction of 1-PEC1 with $Cp_2TiCl$ by detecting the coupling product of the generated active radicals. However, the reversible deactivation reaction competes with other side reactions, and it detection was difficult with our model system.

본 연구에서는 이산화탄소 개질반응에 대한 연구의 일환으로 HY-zeolite를 주요 담체로 하여 니켈촉매의 활성화 개선에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 메탄과 이산화탄소의 전환율은 반응온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였고, $700^{\circ}C$ 이상이 되었을 때 80% 이상의 전환율을 얻었고, 니켈의 담지량이 증가함에 따라 촉매의 활성이 증가하였으며, 13wt%에서 가정 높은 활성을 보였다. 담체에 대한 영향으로 HY-zeolite 외에 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$와 $SiO_2$에 니켈을 담지시켜 반응활성을 비교한 결과 메탄과 이산화탄소의 초기 전환율은 HY-zeolite에 담지된 니켈 촉매를 사용했을 때가 가장 높았으나, 시간이 지남에 따라 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$에 담지된 니켈 촉매보다 비활성화가 빨랐지만 24시간 반응 후에도 메탄의 전환율이 80% 이상을 나타내었다. 그리고 13wt%Ni/HY-zeolite 촉매의 성능 향상을 위하여 Mg, Mn, K, Ca을 조촉매로 첨가하여 반응활성을 조사한 결과 Mg을 첨가한 촉매가 높은 활성과 안정성을 나타내었고, Mg의 최적 첨가량이 5wt%임을 확인하였다.

Mesoporous carbons with tailored pore size were prepared by using sucrose as the carbon source and silicas as the templates. The silica templates were obtained from a hydroxypropyl-${\beta}$-cyclodextrin-silica hybrids using ammonium perchlorate oxidation at different temperatures to remove the organic matter. The structures and surface chemistry properties of these carbon materials were characterized by $N_2$ adsorption, TEM, SEM and FTIR measurements. The catalytic performances of these carbon materials were investigated through the reduction of nitroaromatic using hydrazine hydrate as the reducing agent. Compared with other carbon materials, such as active carbon, and carbon materials from the silica templates obtained by using calcination to remove the organic matter, these carbon materials exhibited much higher catalytic activity, no obvious deactivation was observed after recycling the catalyst four times. Higher surface area and pore volume, and the presence of abundant surface oxygen-containing functional groups, which originate from the special preparation process of carbon material, are likely responsible for the high catalytic property of these mesoporous carbon materials.
