Nano-TiO$_2$ photocatalytic coatings were deposited on the stainless steel 304(50$\times$70$\times$3mm) by the APS(Atmospheric Plasma Spraying). Photocatlytic reaction was tested in MB(methylene blue) aqueous solution. For applying nano-TiO$_2$ powders by thermal spray, the starting nano-TiO$_2$ powder with 100% anatase crystalline was agglomerated by spray drying. Plasma second gas(H$_2$) flow rate and spraying distance were used as principal process parameters which are known to control heat enthalpy(heat input). The relationship between process parameters and the characteristics of microstructure such as the anatase phase fraction and grain size of the TiO$_2$ coatings were investigated. The photo-decomposition efficiency of TiO$_2$ coatings was evaluated by the kinetics of MB aqueous solution decomposition. It was found that the TiO$_2$ coating with a lower heat input condition had a higher anatase fraction, smaller anatase grain size and a better photo-decomposition efficiency.

본 연구에서는 흐름형 반응기를 활용하여 단일 화합물로 구성된 연료인 exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (exo-THDCP)의 유량을 변화시킴에 따라 나타나는 열분해 특성에 대해 분석하였다. 실험은 $500^{\circ}C$, 50 bar의 온도와 압력 조건에서 수행하였으며, 각 유량 조건에서 반응을 통해 생성된 물질은 GC/MS를 사용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, exo-THDCP는 열에 의해 주로 고리형 화합물로 분해됨과 동시에 일부는 이성질화 되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 유량이 증가할수록 분해 및 이성질화 반응을 통해 생성되는 화합물의 종류와 비율이 감소하였으며, 이에 따라 연료의 전환율과 분해 반응 시에 발생하는 흡열량도 함께 감소하였다. 열분해 반응 시에 비교적 빠르게 생성되는 화합물은 주로 1-cyclopentylcyclopentene (1-CPCP)의 radical 형태를 중간체로 하여 형성되는 것으로 분석되었는데, 이는 exo-THDCP로부터 생성될 수 있는 중간체 중에서도 특히 1-CPCP가 생성되는 데에 필요한 활성화 에너지가 약 42 kcal/mol로 가장 낮기 때문인 것으로 해석된다.

Sulfur-Iodine (SI) cycle, which thermochemically splits water to hydrogen and oxygen through three stages of Bunsen reaction, HI decomposition, and $H_2SO_4$ decomposition, seems a promising process to produce hydrogen massively. Among them, the decomposition of $H_2SO_4$ ($H_2SO_4=H_2O+SO_2+1/2O_2$) requires high temperature heat over $800^{\circ}C$ such as the heat from concentrated solar energy or a very high temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor. Because of harsh reaction conditions of high temperature and pressure with extremely corrosive reactants and products, there have been scarce and limited number of data reported on the pressurized $H_2SO_4$ decomposition. This work focuses whether the $H_2SO_4$ decomposition can occur at high pressure in a noble-metal reactor, which possibly resists corrosive acidic chemicals and possesses catalytic activity for the reaction. Decomposition reactions were conducted in a Pt-lined tubular reactor without any other catalytic species at conditions of $800^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$ and 0 bar (ambient pressure) to 10 bar with 95 wt% $H_2SO_4$. The Pt-lined reactor was found to endure the corrosive pressurized condition, and its inner surface successfully carried out a catalytic role in decomposing $H_2SO_4$ to $SO_2$ and $O_2$. This preliminary result has proposed the availability of noble metal-lined reactors for the high temperature, high pressure sulfuric acid decomposition.

In the Fe-Si system, a mixture of a($Fe_{2}Si_5$) - and ${\epsilon}$(FeSi)-composition powders was sintered and heat-treated subsequently at various temperatures and time to get thermoelectric ${\beta}$-phase($FeSi_2$) compacts. The different transformational sequences depending on the heat treating temperature were found through the investigation into phase transformation and microstructural development. That is, a rapid eutectoid decomposition of ${\alpha}{\to}{\beta}+Si$ occurred together with a accompanying slow reaction between the dispersed Si formed by above decomposition and the preexisted ${\epsilon}$ phase at temperatures below $830^{\circ}C$. The unreacted Si and the micropores formed due to the density change upon the transformation coarsened as heat treating time elapsed. At temperatures above $880^{\circ}C$, however, transformation was proceeded by a peritectoid reaction of ${\alpha}+{\epsilon}{\to}{\beta}$. It took at least 200min. to achieve 90% volume fracion of transformed ${\beta}$ phase, and the growth of micro-pores was also observed in this transformational sequence with prolonged heat treating time.

Thermal decomposition reactions of polystyrene using a new heating medium were carried out by a batch system at 190-280 $^{\circ}C$ to clarify the manner in which decomposition is initiated. Polystyrene obtained from a commercial source and low molecular weight compounds obtained from the thermal decomposition were analyzed by GC, GPC, IR, $^{13}$ C-NMR and GC-MS. The main chain underwent virtually no change by heat application. Polystyrene underwent decomposition below its molding temperature and the major decomposition products were 2,4,6-triphenyl-1-hexene (trimer), 2,4-diphenyl-1-butene(dimer) and styrene (monomer). Ethylbenzene, propylbenzene, naphthalene, benzaldehyde, biphenyl and 1,3-diphenylpropane were detected as minor products. This paper presents a new method for examining the decomposition of polystyrene at low temperature into volatile low molecular weight compounds.

We report a new method using a heating medium for the thermal decomposition of epoxy resin (EP) at temperatures ranging from 50 to 200$^{\circ}C$. EP decomposition also occurred below 50$^{\circ}C$ during a 6-day period to generate bisphenol A (BPA) at concentrations as high as 5 ppm. When polyethylene glycol was used as a heating medium, we determined the kinetics of the EP decomposition at low temperature. We determined the apparent activation energy of the overall decomposition to be 40.8 kJ/mol and the frequency factor to be 2.3${\times}$10$^3$ by monitoring the rate of BPA formation. Thus, EP is clearly unstable upon the application of heat.

극초음속 비행체의 비행 중에 발생되는 열 문제를 해결하기 위해 탑재된 연료의 분해반응 시 나타나는 흡열효과를 이용하는 냉각기술이 개발되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 HZSM-5를 촉매로 사용하여 n-dodecane 연료의 분해반응을 수행하였으며, 촉매 분해반응의 흡열효과를 극대화하고 코크생성을 억제하기 위해 촉매를 메탈폼에 코팅하였다. 반응기는 외경 1.27 cm의 스테인리스 스틸 흐름형 반응기를 사용하였다. HZSM-5를 메탈폼에 코팅한 촉매를 사용한 촉매 분해반응 결과 흡열량은 최대 2887 kJ/kg, 기상전환율은 34% 이었으며, 메탈폼의 코크생성량은 촉매를 코팅함에 따라 촉매를 코팅하지 않은 것에 비해 약 56% 감소하였다.

철 이온을 담지시킨 BEA 제올라이트에서 $N_2O$가 분해되는 반응을 조사하여 열처리 온도가 촉매의 활성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. $N_2O$ 분해 반응 실험 결과, Fe/BEA 촉매에 대한 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 $N_2O$ 분해 활성이 현저히 줄어들었다. 열처리 온도의 증가에 따른 Fe/BEA 촉매의 입자모양 및 크기의 변화는 크지 않았지만, 열처리 온도 증가에 따라 비표면적이 크게 줄어들었다. 또한 열처리온도가 증가함에 따라 ${\beta}$ 구조의 결정성이 크게 낮아지는 것을 확인하였고, 열처리 온도가 높아질수록 SiO 구조는 증가하거나 크게 변화가 없는 반면, Fe가 골격구조와 결합된 구조는 감소하는 것으로 판단되었다. 이와 같은 결과로 열처리 온도의 증가에 따라 알루미늄과 Fe가 결합된 ${\beta}$ 구조가 붕괴되어 $N_2O$ 분해활성이 크게 저하되는 것으로 사료된다.

2006년에 발사된 다목적실용위성은 자세제어 등에 필요한 추력과 모멘트를 발생하기 위해 NASA의 1lbf급 단일추진제 표준 추력기인 MRE-1을 사용하고 있다. 단일추진제 추력기는 추진제와 촉매와의 열분해 반응에 의해 추력을 발생시키는데 이때 발생되는 분해열은 상대적으로 온도가 낮은 주변 구조물 및 전자부품으로 과도한 복사열전달을 발생시키는 열원이 된다. 따라서 추력기와 타 부품 사이에 과도한 복사 열전달을 방지하기 위해서는 복사 열차폐막이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 열차폐막의 설계/해석 및 제작 등 전반적인 개발 과정에 대해 설명하였다.

The operating characteristics of hydrogen iodide (HI) decomposition for hydrogen production were investigated using the commercial computational fluid dynamics code, and various factors, such as hydrogen production, heat of reaction, and temperature distribution, were studied to compare device performance with that expected for device development. Hydrogen production increased with an increase of the surface-to-volume (STV) ratio. With an increase of hydrogen production, the reaction heat increased. The internal pressure and velocity of the HI decomposer were estimated through pressure drop and reducing velocity from the preheating zone. The mass of $H_2O$ was independent of the STV ratio, whereas that of HI decreased with increasing STV ratio.
