The behavior of hydrogen species on the surface of the catalyst during the Lewis acid transformation to form Brønsted acid sites over the spherical silica-supported WO_x catalyst was investigated. To understand the structure-activity relationship of Lewis acid transformation and hydrogen bonding interactions, we explore the potential of using the in situ diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) with adsorbed ammonia and hydrogen exposure. From the results of in situ DRIFTS measurements, Lewis acid sites on surface catalysts were transformed into new Brønsted acid sites upon hydrogen exposure. The adsorbed NH₃ on Lewis acid sites migrated to Brønsted acid sites forming NH⁴⁺. The results show that the dissociated H atoms present on the catalyst surface formed new Si-OH hydroxyl species - the new Brønsted acid site. Besides, the isolated Si-O-W species is the key towards H-bond and Si-OH formation. Additionally, the H atoms adsorbed surrounding the Si-O-W species of mono-oxo O=WO₄ and di-oxo (O=)₂WO₂ species, where the Si-O-W species are the main species presented on the Inc-SSP catalysts than that of the IWI-SSP catalysts.

In performing in situ heating transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for materials characterizations, arising concerns such as specimen drifts and unintentional Cu contamination are discussed. In particular, we analysed the thermal and mechanical characteristics of in situ heating holders to estimate thermal drift phenomena. From the experimental results, we suggest an empirical model to describe the thermal drift behavior so that we can design an effective plan for in situ heating experiment. Practical approaches to minimize several hindrances arisen from the experiment are proposed. We believe that our experimental recommendations will be useful for a microscopist fascinated with the powerful potential of in situ heating TEM.

The promoting effect of rhodium on the structure and activity of the supported Cu-Co based catalysts for CO hydrogenation was investigated in detail. The samples were characterized by DRIFTS, $N_2$-adsorption, XRD, $H_2$-TPR, $H_2$-TPD and XPS. The results indicated that the introduction of rhodium to Cu-Co catalysts resulted in modification of metal dispersion, reducibility and crystal structure. DRIFTS results of CO hydrogenation at reaction condition (P=2 MPa, $T=260^{\circ}C$) indicated the addition of 1 wt % rhodium improved hydrogenation ability of Cu-Co catalysts. The ethanol selectivity and CO conversion were both improved by 1 wt % Rh promoted Cu-Co based catalysts. The alcohol distribution over un-promoted and rhodium promoted Cu-Co based catalysts obeys A-S-F rule and higher chain growth probability was got on rhodium promoted catalyst.

본 연구에서는 폐탄광 갱도를 이용한 갱도 전시장의 안정성 평가를 위해서 다양한 조사와 시험을 실시하였다. 이 광산의 일부 갱도는 1999년 폐광 후 관광용의 갱도전시장으로 이용되어지고 있다. 갱도전시장 주 갱도의 규격은 폭이 약 5 m에 높이가 3 m이며 갱도 연장이 230 m이다. 갱도를 구성하고 있는 암반은 흑색 셰일 및 석탄층 그리고 석회암으로 구성되어 있다. 갱도조사결과 갱도는 두 개의 단층과 교차하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 정밀 지질 및 암반조사를 통해 경험적 방법에 의한 안정성평가를 실시하고 보강의 필요성 등을 결정하였다. 그 결과를 토대로 수치해석을 실시하여 갱도 주변 암반의 전반적인 안정성과 보강(안)의 적절성 여부를 검토하였다. 갱도전시장 내부 주요지점의 RMR값과 Q값은 보통(Fair)과 양호(good)의 등급을 나타내었다. Q값을 토대로 산정한 각 지점의 보강안은 무지보나 systematic toiling으로 나타났다. 2차원 전산해석결과 전반적으로 갱도전시장의 안정성은 확보된 것으로 판단되나 일부 불안정 블록에 대한 추가 보강이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
