The conventional process in synthesizing mullite powder required high temperature ($1300^{\circ}C$) and long chemical reaction time. Thus the combustion process was used to synthesize the mullite powder in order to reduce the reaction time and temperature. The mixture of metal nitrate, fine silica, and fuel was used as the redox compounds under various experimental conditions. The combustion fire in hot plate experiment in rich, lean and stoichiometry fuel does not produce mullite. However, the obvious mullite, small amount of alumina and cristobalite was observed in the $500^{\circ}C$ pre-heat treatment furnace experiment. The components such as silica, urea, aluminm nitrate should be stoichiometry in order to make a perfect mullite crystal.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) in accordance with the regulations with respect to the combustion gases, such as NOx, SOx generated by the marine engine. The combustion gases must be equipped with a device to reduce emissions from all ships passing through the Baltic SECAs. In Korea, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the development of a device for NOx, SOx reduction. Scrubber is used in the ammonia water and the Urea solution in the waste water. The waste water containing ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate, react of the NOx and SOx gas. In this study, the recovery of by-product, which contains the waste water was used as an organic solvent extraction method of salting out. Ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate, the recovery process. A qualitative analysis of the collected by-product FT-IR analysis. Through the elemental analysis and SEM-EDS, characteristic evaluation was performed with an impurity.

Cu/Mn/Ce catalysts for water gas shift (WGS) reaction were synthesized by urea-nitrate combustion method with the fixed molar ratio of Cu/Mn as 1:4 and 1:1 with the doping concentration of Ce from 0.3 to 0.8 mol%. The prepared catalysts were characterized with SEM, BET, XRD, XPS, $H_2$-TPR, $CO_2$ TPD, $N_2O$ chemisorption analysis. The catalytic activity tests were carried out at a GHSV of $28,000h^{-1}$ and a temperature range of 200 to $400^{\circ}C$. The Cu/Mn(CM) catalysts formed Cu-Mn mixed oxide of spinel structure ($Cu_{1.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$) and manganese oxides ($MnO_x$). However, when a small amount of Ce was doped, the growth of $Cu_{1.5}Mn_{1.5}O_4$ was inhibited and the degree of Cu dispersion were increased. Also, the doping of Ce on the CM catalyst reduced the reduction temperature and the base site to induce the active site of the catalyst to be exposed on the catalyst surface. From the XPS analysis, it was confirmed that maintaining the oxidation state of Cu appropriately was a main factor in the WGS reaction. Consequently, Ce as support and dopant in the water gas shift reaction catalysts exhibited the enhanced catalytic activities on CM catalysts. We found that proper amount of Ce by preparing catalysts with different Cu/Mn ratios.

$Li_2$$ZrO_3$ powder which is one of the candidates of breeding materials for the fusion reactor was syn-thesized by a precipitation-combustion process. Although precipitates from the reaction between zirconium nitrate and citric acid were existed in a precursor solution. $Li_2$$ZrO_3$ could easily be obtained by using the mixed fuel of urea and citric acid in stoichiometric composition. The phases of as-synthesized powder con-sisted of $Li_2$$ZrO_3$ and small amounts of $Li_6$$Zr_2O_3$ and $Li_2$$ZrO_3$ The latter phases disappeared after the cal-cination at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The primary particle size and the specific surface area of as-synthesized powders were smaller than 20nm and 10-14 $M^2$/g, respectively. The primary particle size of the precipitation-combustion synthesized powders was affected by the size of precipitates present in a precursor solution.
