In Dimethyl Ether (DME) indirect production processes, DME have a reforming process to separate Methanol. DME has a high cetane number and Methanol has a high octane number. Each fuel has a different combustion characteristics and reactivity. So, this paper was investigated on the combustion characterisitics of DME and Methanol. Basically, Methanol has a effect of retarding ignition. However, Within 10% of total carbon mole number in DME, Methanol slightly changed the onset timing of Low Temperature Reaction (LTR) with increasing thermal-ignition preparation range. It means that controlling combustion phasing of DME can be possible without eliminated LTR. In case of IMEP, the ranges.

A MEMS methanol reformer was fabricated and its performance was evaluated in the present study. Catalytic steam reforming of methanol was selected because the process had been widely applied in macro scale reformers. Conventional Cu/ZnO catalyst that was prepared by co-precipitation method to give the highest coating quality was used. The reactor structure was made by bonding three layers of glass wafers. The internal structure of the wafer was fabricated by the wet-etching process that resulted in a high aspect ratio. The internal surface of the reactor was coated by catalyst and individual wafers were fusion-bonded to form the reactor structure. The internal volume of the microfabricated reactor was $0.3cm^3$ and the reactor produced exhaust gas with hydrogen concentration at 73%. The production rate of hydrogen was 4.16 ml/hr that could generate power of 350 mW in a typical PEM fuel cell.

Cu와 Zn의 몰비가 1/2, 1/1, 2/1인 촉매를 제조하여 메탄올 수증기 개질반응의 활성을 측정하고, 가장 좋은 활성을 보이는 Cu/Zn의 몰비가 2/1인 촉매를 선정하여 $TiO_2$의 첨가량을 달리하여, 메탄올 수증기 개질반응에 대한 활성을 측정하였다. 반응의 압력은 상압, 온도는 $250^{\circ}C$, 수증기/메탄올 몰비 1.5, 접촉시간 0.1 g-cat.hr/mL-feed의 조건에서 활성을 비교한 결과, $TiO_2$의 첨가량이 3 mol%인 촉매의 경우 최대 전화율을 보였고, 전범위에서 수소로의 선택도는 매우 높았다. 촉매의 특성 분석결과 촉매의 비표면적보다는 $N_2O$흡착, 분해방법에 의한 금속구리의 비표면적의 영향이 더욱 큼을 알 수 있었고, 적정 $TiO_2$의 첨가로 금속구리의 비표면적을 높일 수 있었다. XRD, XPS분석결과 반응중에 아연의 산화상태는 달라지지 않으나, 구리는 대부분이 0가와 1가의 상태로 존재함을 확인하였다.

Copper (Cu)-based catalysts have been widely used in a methanol steam reforming (MSR) reaction for hydrogen production for air-independent propulsion (AIP) applications and their good catalytic activities have attracted much attention. However, the agglomeration of the catalytic active site Cu causes deteriorating the catalytic performance and suppression of Cu agglomeration is a crucial issue in the AIP applications that the MSR system is typically operated at 250-300℃ for a long time. R. Sakai et al. recently showed a computational study on the anchoring effect that reduces an agglomeration of active sites by doping in a supporter. In order to present the anchoring effect on 𝛾-Al₂O₃ supported Cu-based catalysts, in this study, the adsorption energies of Cu on X-doped (X=ruthenium, phosphorus, silicon) 𝛾-Al₂O₃ were calculated and Cu adsorption energy decreased due to a change of the electronic structure originated from doping, thereby proving the anchoring effect.

A reformer is a device for producing hydrogen used in fuel cells. Among them, methanol steam reformer uses methanol as fuel, which is present as a liquid at room temperature. It has the advantage of low operating temperature, high energy density, and high hydrogen production. The purpose of this study is to improve the internal flow of the pressure vessel when a bundle of methanol steam reformer in the pressure vessel goes out to a single outlet. An analysis of equilibrium reaction to methanol steam reforming reaction was conducted using Aspen HYSYS^® (Aspen Technology Inc., Bedford, USA), and based on the results, computational analysis was conducted using ANSYS Fluent^® (ANSYS, Inc., Canonsburg, USA). For comparison of the results, the height of the pressure vessel, outlet diameter, and fillet was set as variables, and the optimum geometry was selected by comparing the effects of gravity and the amount of negative pressure.

Copper 담지량을 0~50wt% 범위에서 달리한 $Cu/SiO_2$ 촉매를 kneading법으로 제조하였다. 이 촉매들을 $400{\sim}900^{\circ}C$에서 소성하였고 반응전에 수소분위기하에서 $150{\sim}300^{\circ}C$에서 환원하였다. 메탄올의 수증기 개질반응을 반응온도; $200{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, 수증기/메탄올 몰비; 0.4~1.6, 그리고 접촉시간(W/F); 3~25g.-cat.hr./mol 범위에서 수행하였다. 촉매의 특성은 IR, BET와 XRD를 사용하여 조사하였다. 촉매의 precursor로 copper nitrate를 사용할때 촉매제조시의 pH가 촉매의 활성에 큰 영향을 미쳤으나 pH, 소성온도 및 환원온도는 생성물분포에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 최적담지량, 소성온도 및 환원온도는 각각 40wt%, $700^{\circ}C$ 그리고 $300^{\circ}C$였다. 수소생성을 위한 최적반응온도는 $275^{\circ}C$였고 수소의 양과 질을 저하하는 메탄의 생성은 이 온도까지 억제되었다. $Cu/SiO_2$ 촉매계에서 반응활성종은 $Cu^{\circ}-Cu_2O$임을 추정할 수 있었다.

The amount of biogas increases as the amount of organic waste increases. Recently, biogas from organic waste have been made much efforts to utilize as a energy. In particular, the concentration of $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ generated from sewage sludge and livestock manure treatment are 60-70% and 30-35%, and $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ generated from food wastes are 60-80% and 20-40%. In case of landfill gas, $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ have a concentration of 40-60% and 40-60% respectively. Therefore, in order to use the biogas more widely, it is necessary to convert the biogas to methanol, LNG or DME. In this study, experiments were conducted to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide through various biogas reforming reactions on $Ni/Ce-ZrO_2/Al2O3$ catalysts. The experiment of synthetic gas synthesis was carried out on a wide concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide, which were the major constituents of biogas from various organic wastes. The effect of $(O_2+CO_2)/CH_4$ (=R') on the yields of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, the conversion rate of methane and carbon dioxide was investigated. Also simulation for syngas synthesis on the $CO_2$ reforming of $CH_4$ was computed by employing total Gibbs free energy minimization method using PRO/II simulator, and compared with the experimental results on wet and dry reforming reaction of biogas.

We designed a new experimental set-up for measuring activity of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions. Using this set-up, we studied reduction of carbon dioxide by carbon dioxide reforming of methane (CRM) using nickel powder as catalyst. The properties of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer, Emmett & Teller (BET) surface area and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The reactivity experiments were performed in the temperature range of $300\;-\;500^{\circ}C$. At reactivity experiment, result showed consumption of $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ with a 1:1 stoichiometry. At the same time, carbon monoxide and hydrogen were produced, which could be used for synthesizing fuels such as methanol. During the reaction, deposition of carbon on Ni was observed, which caused deactivation of the catalyst.

본 연구에서는 전산유체역학 상용코드를 이용하여 수소 개질기의 곡유로 채널형에 대하여 수치해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 선행연구모델에 대한 수치해석 모델과 다른 관 형태의 곡유로 채널을 모델링하여 수치해석적으로 비교하였다. 4가지 타입의 곡유로 채널형 개질기의 수치해석 결과 메탄올 전환율은 타입1~4까지 각각 45.0%, 45.3%, 45.6%, 45.6%로 ${\pm}0.6%$ 포인트의 차이로 거의 차이가 없음을 나타내었다. 유동특성에 대해서는 사각타입의 관과 45도 곡관의 각도를 가지는 타입2에서 상대적으로 가장 균일한 유동 특성 및 메탄올 농도 분포를 보였으며, 원형타입의 관과 90도 곡관의 각도를 가지는 타입3에서 상대적으로 가장 불균일한 유동특성 및 메탄올 농도분포 특성을 나타내었다. 곡유로 채널형 개질기의 설계 시에는 45도 곡관의 각도를 가지는 타입과 같이 사각타입의 관과 45에 가까운 곡관의 각도를 가지도록 설계해야 한다는 결과에 도달하였다.
