To find the optimum mixing ratio of WGS catalyst with $CO_2$ absorbent for SEWGS process, water gas shift reaction tests were carried out in a fluidized bed reactor using commercial WGS catalyst and sand (as a substitute for $CO_2$ absorbent). WGS catalyst content, gas velocity, and steam/CO ratio were considered as experimental variables. CO conversion increased as the catalyst content increased during water gas shift reaction. Variations of the CO conversion with the catalyst content were small at low gas velocity. However, those variations increased at higher gas velocity. Within experimental range of this study, the optimum operating condition(steam/CO ratio=3, gas velocity = 0.03 m/s, catalyst content=10 wt.%) to get high CO conversion and $CO_2$ capture efficiency was confirmed. Moreover, long time water gas shift reaction tests up to 20 hours were carried out for two cases (catalyst content = 10 and 20 wt.%) and we could conclude that the WGS reactivity at those conditions was maintained up to 20 hours.

In this study, the plasma-assisted $CO_2$ conversion characteristics were investigated in the streamer corona discharge and silent discharge reactors with dielectric of $Al_2O_3$, to improve the conversion efficiency $CO_2$. Some discharge characteristics of $CO_2$ as parameters of gap spacing and applied voltage frequency, in both corona and silent discharge reactor were also obtained. The maximum $CO_2$ conversion rate was 10.1 [%] under the 5.2 [W] of discharge power and 250 [Hz] of applied voltage frequency.

Reactivity of commercial WGS catalyst and four new catalysts(RMC-3, PC-73, PC-67SU, PC-59) manufactured with various compositions by Korea Electric Power Research Institute(KEPCO RI) were compared to select suitable WGS catalyst for SEWGS system. Steam/CO ratio, gas velocity, flow rates of syngas, and temperature were considered as operating variables. As a result, commercial catalyst showed the highest CO conversion and RMC-3 catalyst showed also high CO conversion. Therefore, commercial and RMC-3 catalysts were selected as applicable catalysts. However, PC-73 catalyst showed low CO conversion at low temperature($200^{\circ}C$) but showed good reactivity at high temperature($225{\sim}250^{\circ}C$), and therefore, PC-73 catalyst was selected as applicable catalyst for high temperature operation. Continuous operations up to 24 hours for those three catalysts(commercial, RMC-3, PC-73) were conducted to check reactivity decay of catalysts. All three catalysts maintained their original reactivity.

To enhance the performance of SEWGS system by holding the WGS catalyst in a SEWGS reactor using bed inserts, effects of insert geometry and shape of WGS catalysts on CO conversion were measured and investigated. Small scale fluidized bed reactor was used as experimental apparatus and WGS catalyst (particle and tablet) and sand were used as bed materials. The parallel wall type and cross type bed inserts were used to hold the WGS catalysts. The CO conversion with steam/CO ratio was determined based on the exit gas analysis. The measured CO conversion using the bed inserts showed high value comparable to physical mixing cases. Moreover, gas flow direction was confirmed by bed pressure drop measurement for each case. Most of input gas flowed through the catalyst side when we charged tablet type catalyst into the bed insert and this can cause low $CO_2$ capture efficiency because the possibility of contact between input gas and $CO_2$ absorbent is low in this case. New bed insert geometry was proposed based on the results from this study to enhance contact between input gas and WGS catalyst and $CO_2$ absorbent.

Photoreduction of $CO_2$ into hydrocarbon fuels on the surface of photocatalyst is one of the breakthroughs in the field of photocatalysis. At present various approaches have been investigated with the aim of increasing the $CO_2$ conversion efficiency. The reactor for photoconversion of $CO_2$ plays a vital role in experimental setup. In this work an attempt was made to testify a newly designed the photoreactor for conversion of $CO_2$ into useful products. The photoreactor was specifically designed for simple operation bearing features of temperature and pressure control. The reactor has been tested successively with the standard titania, Degussa P25 yielding methane with moderate production rate of 30.8 $ppm{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}h^{-1}$ under UV lamp with 365 nm wavelength. The methane yield obtained is comparable to the values reported in literature. Thus we anticipate that this experimental setup equipped with newly designed photoreactor can yield competitive amounts of fuels from $CO_2$ photoredcution via 365 nm UV light illumination on various photocatalysts.

CO oxidation and selective CO oxidation of $La_xCe_{1-x}Co_yCu_{1-y}O_{3-{\alpha}}$ perovskite(x=1, 0.9, 0.7. 0.5; y=1, 0.9, 0.7, 0.5) were investigated. For CO oxidation, catalytic activities were studied according to different preparation conditions such as pH and calcination temperature. The influence of the change of the $O_2$ concentration for selective CO oxidation was studied, too. The substitution of Ce for La improved the catalytic activity for CO oxidation and selective CO oxidation and best activity was observed for $La_{0.7}Ce_{0.3}CoO_3$ prepared at pH 11 and calcined at $600^{\circ}C$. The temperature of 90% CO conversion for CO oxidation using $La_{0.7}Ce_{0.3}CoO_3$ was $230^{\circ}C$. In contrast to the enhancement effect by Ce substitution, the partial substitution of Cu for Co in $LaCo_yCu_{1-y}O_{3-{\alpha}}$ decreased catalytic activities for CO oxidation reaction compared to that using $LaCoO_3$. For selective CO oxidation, the best CO conversion was 66% at $230^{\circ}C$ for $La_{0.7}Ce_{0.3}CoO_3$. The CO conversion of $La_{0.7}Ce_{0.3}CoO_3$ was greatly increased from 66% to 91% as increasing $O_2$ concentration from 1% to 2%.

Y-zeolite and ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$ were used as supports on CO and $C_3$H$_{6}$ oxidation for diesel emission control. The catalysts composed of Pd and Pt as active components were wash coated on honeycomb type ceramic substrate. The oxidation of CO and $C_3$H$_{6}$ was carried out over prepared honeycomb in a fixed bed continuous reactor in the temperature range of 20$0^{\circ}C$~50$0^{\circ}C$ and 20,000 GHSV (h$^{-1}$ ). Surface area of Y-zeolite was larger than that of ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$ due to channel structure of Y-zeolite. Therefore, high conversion of CO and $C_3$H$_{6}$ could be obtained because of good dispersion of active metals over Y-zeolite. The honeycomb used Y-zeolite as a support showed higher $C_3$H$_{6}$ conversion than that of ${\gamma}$-Al$_2$O$_3$ due to better cracking and isomerization activity of Y-zeolite. PdPt catalyst showed high conversion of CO and $C_3$H$_{6}$ at low temperature region, 20$0^{\circ}C$~30$0^{\circ}C$, for their synergy effects. PdPt/Y-Zeolite catalyst could achieve more than 80％ conversion of $C_3$H$_{6}$ at 30$0^{\circ}C$. The use of Y-zeolite as a support increased CO and $C_3$H$_{6}$ conversion, and decreased SO$_2$ conversion very effectively. Y-zeolite found to have a good adaptability as a support for the diesel emission after treatment system.

수성가스 전환 반응은 가스화로 생성된 합성 가스에 수소 생산 증가와 H₂/CO 비율 제어를 위해 수증기를 첨가하는 가스화 후속 공정이다. 본 연구에서는 RPF(Refuse plastic fuel) 가스화 시스템의 합성가스를 대상으로 수성가스 전환 반응을 연구하였다. 수성가스 전환 반응은 촉매를 이용하여 high temperature shift(HTS) 와 low temperature shift(LTS) 반응에 대하여 lab scale 관형 반응기를 이용하여 반응 온도, steam/carbon ratio, 유량의 변화가 H₂ 생성과 CO 전환율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 운전 온도는 HTS 시스템이 250-400℃, LTS 시스템이 190-220℃이며 steam/carbon ratio는 1.5-3.5로 변화시켰다. 반응 모의 가스의 농도는 RPF 합성가스의 농도를 기준으로 CO, 40vol%, H₂, 25vol%, CO₂, 25vol%이다. 반응 온도와 steam/carbon ratio가 증가함에 따라 CO 전환율 및 H₂ 생성량이 증가하고, 유량이 증가하면 촉매층의 체류시간 단축으로 CO 전환율과 H₂ 생성량이 감소하였다.

본 연구는 습윤함침법으로 제조하여 400 ℃에서 소성한 Pt/TiO₂ 촉매를 이용하여 NO 피독에 의한 CO 산화반응특성에 대하여 확인하였다. Pt/TiO₂ 촉매의 NO 피독영향을 확인하기 위하여 CO + O₂ 반응 중 NO를 주입하면서 반응활성의 변화를 관찰하였으며, 200 ℃ 이하에서 CO 전환율이 급격하게 저하되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한125 ℃ 이하에서 CO 전환율을 나타내지 않았다. 125 ℃에서 NO의 주입을 차단하더라도 초기 CO 전환율의 회복이 확인되지 않았다. 이에 따라 NO 주입에 따른 다양한 분석을 수행하였다. 먼저, TPD 분석 결과, 촉매에 NO의 선흡착은 CO 흡착을 방해하였으며 흡착된 CO에서 CO₂로의 전환탈착을 억제하는 것을 확인하였다. 다음으로, NO가 선흡착될 경우, 촉매의 산소전달능력을 감소함을 H₂-TPR 분석을 통하여 확인하였다. 또한 FT-IR 분석을 통하여, 촉매의 redox cycle (Pt²⁺→Pt⁰→Pt²⁺)을 방해하는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 Pt/TiO₂ 촉매에서 NO의 존재는 CO 산화반응에서의 피독 인자으로 작용을 하였으며, NO 피독을 방지하기 위해서는 촉매의 산소전달능력의 증진이 필요하다고 판단되어진다.
