A new gasification model for coal char was developed considering the effects of pore structure and solid reaction product (ash) and compared with conventional models. Among various parameters reflecting microscopic pore structure, initial pore surface per unit volume of char was found to have the largest effect on carbon conversions. Reaction studies showed that the proposed model can predict carbon conversion more accurately over a broader range of reaction degree compared to the conventional models. Therefore the model proposed in this study would be useful for the design of pilot or commercial scale gasifiers.

Partial replacement of Portland cement by slag can reduce the energy consumption and $CO_2$ emission therefore is beneficial to circular economy and sustainable development. Compressive strength is the most important engineering property of concrete. This paper presents a numerical procedure to predict the development of compressive strength of slag blended concrete. This numerical procedure starts with a kinetic hydration model for cement-slag blends by considering the production of calcium hydroxide in cement hydration and its consumption in slag reactions. Reaction degrees of cement slag are obtained as accompanied results from the hydration model. Gel-space ratio of hardening slag blended concrete is determined using reaction degrees of cement and slag, mixing proportions of concrete, and volume stoichiometries of cement hydration and slag reaction. Furthermore, the development of compressive strength is evaluated through Powers' gel-space ratio theory considering the contributions of cement hydration and slag reaction. The proposed model is verified through experimental data on concrete with different water-to-binder ratios and slag substitution ratios.

On this study, we operated the dynamic response for impact load of impact absorbing system for spreader by the finite element analysis and showed respectively the spring constant and the damping coefficient which the reaction force by impact was the lowest value for three types impact absorbing system according to the change of system, also we presented the change of impact reaction force according to the spring constant and the damping coefficient. Additionally, among the three types impact absorbing system according to the change of system, the reaction force of model II was the lowest value and the next model which has higher value than model II was model Iand model III has the highest value in the three types.

This research deals with an estimation method for kinetic reaction model. The kinetic reaction model is a model to explain spread or changing process based on interaction between species on the Biochemical area. This model can be applied to a model for disease spreading as well as a model for system Biology. In the search, we assumed that the spread of species is stochastic and we construct the reaction model based on stochastic movement. We utilized Gillespie algorithm in order to construct likelihood function. We introduced a Bayesian estimation method using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods that produces more stable results. We applied the Bayesian estimation method to the Lotka-Volterra model and gene transcription model and had more stable estimation results.

Kinetics data were obtained for steam reforming of methane and natural gas over the commercial nickel catalyst. Variables for the steam reforming were the reaction temperature and partial pressure of reactants. Parameters for the Power law rate model and the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model were obtained from the kinetic data. As a result of the reforming reaction using pure methane as a reactant, the reaction rate could be determined by the Power law rate model as well as the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. In the case of methane in natural gas, however, the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model is much more suitable than the Power law rate model in terms of explaining methane reforming reaction. This behavior can be attributed to the competitive adsorption of methane, ethane, propane and butane in natural gas over the same catalyst sites.

In this study, the effect of formaldehyde to phenol (F/P) molar ratios, catalyst wt%, and reaction temperature on the chemical structure was studied utilizing a two-level full factorial experimental design. The effect of three variables on the chemical structure was analyzed by using three-way ANOVA of SPSS. Concentration of methyrol-substituted phenols after 300 min addition reaction increased with higher the F/P mole ratio, lower the reaction temperature and lower the catalyst wt%. Resol catalysed by barium hydroxide showed higher addition of formaldehyde onto ortho positions of phenolic rings. A simplified elementary reaction model for resole type phenolic resin formation which do not consider the dissociation of phenolic compounds and the fraction of formaldehyde in the form of methylene glycol was proposed and compared with Zavitsas' type models. Elementary reaction model showed error of 2.79% compared to the error of 3.27% in Zavitsas' type models. It was thought that the elementary reaction model could be used to predict the behavior of addition reaction in resol formation.

In this study, mixed catalytic char gasification of Indonesia low-rank coal Kideco was investigated under nitrogen atmosphere and isothermal conditions at a fixed reactor. The effects of the temperature were investigated at various temperature (700, 750, 800, $850^{\circ}C$). The effects of blend ratio of catalysts ($K_2CO_3$, Ni) were investigated with different blend ratios (1:9, 3:7, 5:5, 7:3 and 9:1). The sample was prepared by mixing with $K_2CO_3$ physically and by ionexchange method with Ni. The data from thermogravimetric analyzer and gas chromatography were applied to four gassolid reaction kinetic models including shrinking core model, volumetric reaction model, random pore model and modified volumetric reaction model.

Reaction characteristics and kinetics of a oxygen carrier (OCN717-R1SU) for chemical looping combustion (CLC) have been investigated using TGA by changing gas concentration (10-30 vol.% $CH_4$) and reaction temperature ($825-900^{\circ}C$). Reaction rate of OCN717-R1SU increased as temperature increased and it was found that reaction is delayed at the initial reaction regime. Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (JMA) model was adopted to explain the reaction phenomenon. The activation energy (E) determined by JMA model in reduction reaction of OCN717-R1SU is $151.7{\pm}2.03kJ/mol$ and pre-exponential factor and JMA exponent were also obtained. The parameters calculated in this study will be applied in design of the reactor and operation conditions for CLC process.

Two short-term bioassays were employed to asses the mutagenic and clastogenic activities in browning reaction of pentose-creatine, pentose-glycine and pentose-creatine-glycine browning reaction model system. Methylene chloride extract of rhamnose-creatine-glycine browning reaction exhibited the strongest mutagenicity toward Salmonella typhimurium TA98 with S-9. Methylene chloride extract of pentose-creatine and pentose-glycine browning reaction solutions was also tested for mutagenicity, with positive responses. Methylene chloride extract of pentose-creatine-glycine browning reaction solutions induced significant increase in chromosome aberrations in the treated Chinese hamster ovary(CHO) cells. Each of pentose-creatine and pentose-glycine browning reaction solutions induced a relatively low frequency of chromosome aberrations in the treated cells.
