Most of the aromatic nitro compounds were reduced to amines in high yield by transfer of hydrogen from 4-vinyl cyclohexene to the substrate via palladium catalyst. The usefulness of the method is not affected by the presence of a variety of other functional groups such as -OH, $-OCH_3$, $-CH_3$, $-CO_2H$, and -Cl, except for halogen which is removed during hydrogenation. The reduction of ortho-substituted nitrobenzene such as o-nitrotoluene, o-nitrophenol, o-nitroanisole was slower than the para isomer. Typically, the nitro compound is refluxed in ethanol with a large exess of 4-vinylcyclohexene in the presence of Pd-C catalyst. Under the above conditions, p-nitrobenzaldehyde, p-nitrobenzyl alcohol, and p-nitrobenzyl acetate were reduced to p-toluidine.

This study focuses on developing catalysts for the removal of toluene produced from paint booth. Toluene is one of the major VOC in painting, coating process. Pd catalysts have been used in hydrogenation oxidation and low temperature combustion reaction for toluene removal. Pd catalysts, even though it is very precious and expensive. Therefore, the prepared catalysts from minimizing the amount of Pd ratio (0.1~1.0wt%) were measured. As a result, 1.0wt% Pd(R) catalyst under all conditions showed the highest activity. These results may suggest that the catalytic activity is related to Pd dispersion according sintering atmosphere and Pd ratio in the manufacturing process through the analysis of SEM, XRD.

Fisher-Tropsch synthesis for the production of hydrocarbon from syngas was investigated on 20% cobalt-based catalysts (20% Co/HSA, 20% Co/Si-MMS), which were prepared by home-made supports with high surface areas such as high surface alumina (HSA) and silica mesopores molecular sieve (Si-MMS). In the gas phase reaction by syngas only, 20% Co/Si-MMS catalyst was shown in higher CO conversion and lower carbon dioxide formation than 20% Co/HSA, whereas the olefin selectivity was higher in 20% Co/HSA than in 20% Co/Si-MMS. In the effect of n-hexane added in syngas, the selectivities of $C_{5+}$ and olefin were increased by comparing the supercritical phase reaction with the gas phase reaction in addition to reduce unexpected methane and carbon dioxide.

Confined Pt and $CoFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles (NPs) in a mesoporous core/shell silica microsphere, Pt-$CoFe_2O_4$@meso-$SiO_2$, were prepared using a bi-functional linker molecule. A large number of Pt NPs in Pt-$CoFe_2O_4$@meso-$SiO_2$, ranging from 5 to 8 nm, are embedded into the shell and some of them are in close contact with $CoFe_2O_4$ NPs. The hydrogenation of cyclohexene over the Pt-$CoFe_2O_4$@meso-$SiO_2$ microsphere at $25^{\circ}C$ and 1 atm of $H_2$ yields cyclohexane as a major product. In addition, it gives oxygenated products. Control experiments with $^{18}O$-labelled water and acetone suggest that surface-bound oxygen atoms in $CoFe_2O_4$ are associated with the formation of the oxygenated products. This oxidation reaction is operative only if $CoFe_2O_4$ and Pt NPs are in close contact. The Pt-$CoFe_2O_4$@meso-$SiO_2$ catalyst is separated simply by a magnet, which can be re-used without affecting the catalytic efficiency.

현재 인류는 플라스틱(plastic) 세상에 살고 있다. 의류, 식품, 주거 생활 곳곳에 플라스틱이 존재하며, 플라스틱이 없는 세상은 상상조차 할 수 없다. 하지만, 플라스틱 사용량 증가에 따른 폐플라스틱의 배출량의 증가는 심각한 환경문제들을 야기하여 생태계뿐만 아니라 인간에게도 위협이 되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 단순히 폐플라스틱의 처리에 그치지 않고, 이를 활용하여 새로운 고부가가치의 생성물을 제조하는 플라스틱 업사이클링(plastic upcycling) 시스템이 최근 주목을 받고 있으며, 현재 다양한 형태로 연구개발이 진행되고 있다. 그 중의 한가지로 본 기고문에서는 알칸 교차 복분해(cross alkane metathesis) 반응을 소개한다. 알칸 교차 복분해 반응은 수소화/탈수소화(hydrogenation/dehydrogenation) 반응과 올레핀 복분해(olefin metathesis) 반응으로 이루어져, 탈수소화 반응 후 생성된 이중결합 탄소를 갖는 두 개의 알켄 화합물이 자리바꿈을 통해 새로운 이중 결합을 형성하는 반응이다. 이 촉매반응 과정이 반복되면 저분자화된 새로운 알칸 화합물을 생성되는데, 이는 기존의 플라스틱 처리방식인 열분해 및 촉매 분해 공정보다 낮은 반응온도를 요구한다. 또한 이를 통해 상대적으로 높은 순도의 가솔린 및 디젤을 생성할 수 있기 때문에 폐플라스틱 처리 공정의 새로운 대안기술이 될 수 있다. 본 기고문에서 폐플라스틱 중 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 폴리에틸렌을 처리하는 대안기술로써 알칸 교차 복분해 반응의 메커니즘과 및 촉매의 역할, 그리고 반응성에 영향을 주는 인자에 대해 기술한다.

The kinetics of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and water gas shift reactions over a precipitated iron catalyst were studied in a 5 channel fixed-bed reactor. Experimental conditions were changed as follows: synthesis gas $H_2$/CO feed ratios of 0.5~2, reactants flow rate of 60~80 ml/min, and reaction temperature of $255{\sim}275^{\circ}C$ at a constant pressure of 1.5 MPa. The reaction rate of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis was calculated from Eley-Rideal mechanism in which the rate-determining step was the formation of the monomer species (methylene) by hydrogenation of associatively adsorbed CO. Whereas water gas shift reaction rate was determined by the formation of a formate intermediate species as the rate-determining step. As a result, the reaction rates of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis for the hydrocarbon formation and water gas shift for the $CO_2$ production were in good agreement with the experimental values, respectively. Therefore, the reaction rates ($r_{FT}$, $r_{WGS}$, $-r_{CO}$) derived from the reaction mechanisms showed good agreement both with experimental values and with some kinetic models from literature.

Vegetable oils, such as palm oil and cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), are used as major raw materials for bio-diesel in transportation and bio-heavy oil in power generation in South Korea. However, due to the high unsaturation degree caused by hydrocarbon double bonds and a high content of oxygen originating from the presence of carboxylic acid, the range of applications as fuel oil is limited. In this study, hydrotreating to saturate unsaturated hydrocarbons and remove oxygen in mixed bio-oil containing 1/1 v/v% palm oil and CNSL on monometallic catalysts (Ni and Cu) and bimetallic catalysts (Ni-Zn, Ni-Fe, Ni-Cu Ni-Co, Ni-Pd, and Ni-Pt) was perform under mild conditions (T = 250 ~ 400 ℃, P = 5 ~ 80 bar and LHSV = 1 h-1). The addition of noble metals and transition metals to Ni showed synergistic effects to improve both hydrogenation (HYD) and hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) activities. The most promising catalyst was Ni-Cu/��-Al2O3, and in the wide range of the Ni/Cu atomic ratio of 9/1~1/4, the conversion for HYD and HDO reactions of the catalysts were 90-93% and 95-99%, respectively. The tendency to exhibit almost constant reaction activity in these catalysts of different Ni/Cu atomic ratios implies a typical structure-insensitive reaction. The refined bio-oil produced by hydrotreating (HDY and HDO) had significantly lower iodine value, acid value, and kinetic viscosity than the raw bio-oil and the higher heating value (HHV) was increased by about 10%.

Dehydrogenation of 4-vinylcyclohexene(4-VCH) to ethylbenzene is elucidated via catalytic transfer hydrogenation with the heterogeneous catalyst of Pd/C. Hydrogen-donor solvent is ethanol or water. Oxidizers of the catalytic dehydrogenation reaction are mono- or dinitro compounds, $H_2O_2$, NaClOn (n=1~4), or oxygen at $70{\sim}110^{\circ}C$. The ratio of 4-VCH/Nitro compounds is 1:0.02 to 1:0.5 and 4-VCH vs. $H_2O_2$ or NaClOn (n=1~4) is 1:0.1 to 1:3.

Two types of CoMo/zeolite as well as $NiMo/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ were prepared and their activities and selectivities of low-temperature dibenzothiophene(DBT) hydrodesulfurization(HDS) were studied in high pressure fixed bed reactor. The HDS activities of CoMo/zeolites were higher than that of $NiMo/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ at temperatures below $225^{\circ}C$ while they were lower than that of $NiMo/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ at temperatures higher than $275^{\circ}C$. The main products from $NiMo/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ were biphenyl and cyclohexylbenzene. The product distribution of CoMo/zeolite catalysts was different from that of $NiMo/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. It is speculated that DBT is converted to alkylcyclohexane over zeolite based catalysts through both alkylation and hydrogenation reactions. The crystal structure of molybdenum was $MoO_3$ in fresh zeolite support while mixtures of $MoO_3$ and $MoS_2$ were observed in the aged catalyst.
