The new MPV-type reagent, Al-fluorodiisobutylalane (DIBAF), has been prepared and their reducing characteristics in the reduction of selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups have been examined in order to find out a new reducing system with unique applicability in organic synthesis. In general, the reagent is extremely mild, showing only reactivity toward aldehydes, ketones, and epoxides. The reagent achives a clean 1,2-reduction of enals to the corresponding allylic alcohols in a 100% purity, but shows no reactivity toward enones. The reagent also shows an excellent regioselective cleavage of substituted epoxides. In addition, DIBAF produces the thermodynamically more stable alcohol epimer in high stereoselectivity in the reduction of cyclic ketones.

A series of non-free hydride reducing systems containing boron or aluminum atom, which possess no metal-hydride bond but an available hydrogen at a branched β-position, has been applied to the selective reduction (chemo--, regio-, and stereoselective reduction) of organic compounds. The systems, comprised of diisopinocampheylborane and diisobutylalane derivatives, exhibited almost perfect selectivities in the reduction of aldehydes and ketones. The characteristics features of this systems leading to a perfect transformation have been depicted in this report, especially in the 1) Reduction of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds to Allylic Alcohols via 1,2-Reduction, 2) Chemoselective Reduction between Structurally Different Carbonyl Compounds, and 3) Stereoselective Reduction of Cyclic Ketones.

본 연구에서는 탈질 폐촉매 침출액으로부터 바나듐 환원과 Alamine 336을 이용한 용매추출에 의해 바나듐과 텅스텐의 분리 가능성을조사하고 최적 공정 조건을 도출하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 바나듐과 텅스텐은 화학적 거동이 비슷하여 분리가 어렵지만 산성용액에서 일부 존재하는 음이온 상태의 5가 바나듐을 양이온 상태의 4가 바나듐으로 환원시켜 음이온 교환 추출제에 의한 추출을 억제할 경우텅스텐을 선택적으로 추출할 수 있다. 실험 결과, 환원제로 NaHSO3가 가장 적합하였으며 환원제 첨가량, 반응 시간, 온도가 증가할수록바나듐의 추출 효율이 감소하여 분리 효율이 증가하였다. 최적 환원 조건인 NaHSO3 1.5당량, 60분, 60℃ 조건에서 환원할 경우, 바나듐추출 효율 5.8%, 텅스텐 추출 효율 99%, 바나듐과 텅스텐의 분리 계수 7,564로 두 성분이 효과적으로 분리되었다.

In this study, we investigated the separability of vanadium and tungsten from spent SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) catalyst leach solution by reduction of vanadium and solvent extraction using Alamine 336 and conducted experiments to optimize process conditions. It is difficult to separate vanadium and tungsten due to their similar chemical behavior, but tungsten can be selectively extracted from acidic solution when vanadium extraction is prevented by reducing anionic pentavalent vanadium to cationic tetravalent vanadium. The results showed that NaHSO3 was most suitable as a reducing agent, and the extraction efficiency of vanadium decreased and the separation efficiency increased as the amount of reducing agent added, reaction time, and temperature increased. When reducing NaHSO3 1.5 eq, 60 min, and 60℃, which are optimal conditions of reduction, vanadium and tungsten were effectively separated with vanadium extraction efficiency of 5.8%, tungsten extraction efficiency of 99%, and separation factor of vanadium and tungsten of 7,564.

현대사회에 이르며 발생한 환경오염으로 인해 산업 전반적인 환경규제가 강화되었다. 따라서 이러한 환경규제를 충족하기 위해 선택적 환원촉매장치(SCR)의 연구개발이 필요하다. 본 논문은 SCR 시스템의 핵심부품인 공압식 댐퍼 밸브(PDV)를 개발하기 위하여 열해석을 수행하였다. 열해석을 위해 우선적으로 재질의 물성치 검증을 실시하였다. 검 증은 시편의 열물성시험과 열인장시험을 통해 하였으며 결과를 재질의 물성치에 보강하여 열해석의 신뢰성을 높이도록 하였다. 열해석은 유한 요소 프로그램(Ansys)를 사용하여 PDV가 갖는 사용 조건에 따라 적용된 총 3개 재질(SM400B, SS275, SB410)에서의 PDV가 보이는 열 특성을 확인하고자 하였으며, 이를 통해 PDV가 갖는 구조적 안정성을 확인하고자 하였다.

The overall environmental regulations of the industry have been strengthened due to environmental pollution that occurred in modern society. Therefore, R&D of selective reduction catalyst (SCR) is needed to meet these environmental regulations. This paper carried out thermal analysis to develop the pneumatic damper valve (PDV), which is a key component of SCR system. For thermal analysis, verification of material properties was performed first. Verification was performed through the thermal properties test and the thermal tensile test of the specimen, and the results were reinforced with the material properties to enhance the reliability of the thermal analysis.The heat analysis was intended to identify thermal characteristics with PDV in total of three materials (SM400B, SS275, SB410) applied under the conditions of use of PDV, and to confirm the structural stability of the PDV.

With the development of computer technology, computer numerical simulation has become one of the three major scientific methods in metallurgy field. Its basic idea is to achieve the simulation of metallurgical process and the design optimization through mathematical modeling, numerical dissertation and computer programming. Referring to the reaction model of theory of porous media within gas and solid, this research focuses on the selective reduction process in mixture vessel of fine iron and carbon, taking into consideration of heat transfer equation of porous medium, the rate equation of carbon gasified reaction, the equation of continuity, and the momentum equation and so on, and establishes a micro dynamics mathematical model of the selective reduction process of fine iron and carbon mixture under the non-uniform temperature and non-equal-pressure conditions. Based on this model, the analysis of micro-dynamics of selective reduction process can be conducted; it can be applied to analyses of the effects of mass transfer in gas phase, solid-state diffusion and surface chemical reaction to the selective reduction process, as well as the interaction between two different oxides and complex compounds; the enhance means of speed control can also be obtained.

The NOx removal performance of the SCR process depends on various factors such as catalytic factors (catalyst composition, shape, space velocity, etc.), temperature and flow rate distribution of the exhaust gas. Among them, the uniformity of the flow flowing into the catalyst bed plays the most important role. In this study, the flow characteristics in the SCR reactor in the design stage were simulated using a three-dimensional numerical analysis technique to confirm the uniformity of the airflow. Due to the limitation of the installation space, the shape of the inlet duct was compared with the two types of inlet duct shape because there were many curved sections of the inlet duct and the duct size margin was not large. The effect of inlet duct shape, guide vane or mixer installation, and venturi shape change on SCR reactor internal flow, airflow uniformity, and space utilization rate of ammonia concentration were studied. It was found that the uniformity of the airflow reaching the catalyst layer was greatly improved when an inlet duct with a shape that could suppress drift was applied and guide vanes were installed in the curved part of the inlet duct to properly distribute the process gas. In addition, the space utilization rate was greatly improved when the duct at the rear of the nozzle was applied as a venturi type rather than a mixer for uniform distribution of ammonia gas.

This paper presents a novel three-dimensional active frequency selective surfaces loading a varactor diode to achieve electrically controllable, by loading different values of paranoid voltage to control the variable capacitance diode. Simulation results show that the structure has excellent resonant characteristics in the range of 3.34GHz-1.59GHz, and has certain sensitivity for the change of the capacitance value,so it can achieve electrical controllable in the frequency band. The simulation results also show that this structure can satisfy characteristics for multiple perspectives in the whole plane, and be suitable to reduce radar cross section,when it is used on radomeofweapon systems in practical war.

본 연구에서는 알콕시-아민-알루미늄 유도체인 DPHMP-AlH와 프로피오페논, 부티로페논과의 분자구조 및 경계궤도함수의 특성을 알아보았다. 또한, 전이상태의 입체구조 및 열역학적 파라미터를 계산하여 최종 생성물인 (R),(S)-페닐프로판올과 (R),(S)-페닐부탄올의 선택적 환원에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과 입체 분자구조적 안정성을 고려해 볼 때 (S)형 DPHMP-AlH와 알킬페논의 전이상태가 더 안정한 것으로 나타났으며, 이 결과로부터 DPHMP-AlH와 알킬페논의 선택적 환원으로 얻어진 최종 결과물은 (S)-(1)-페닐프로판올과 (S)-(1)-페닐부탄올의 형성이 유리한 것을 확인하였다.

In this work, we study the properties of molecular structure and boundary orbital functions of the DPHMP-AlH and propiophenone and butyrophenone, which are forms of alkoxy-amine-aluminum derivatives. Furthermore, we investigate the effect on the selective reduction of the final products (R), (S)-phenylpropanol and (R), (S)-phenylbutanol by calculating the stereoscopic and thermodynamic parameters of the transition state. Considering the three-dimensional molecular structural stability, the transition status of (S) types DPHMP-AlH and alkylphenone was found to be more stable, resulting in the selective reductions of DPHM-AlH and alkylphenone from this result: (S)-(1)-phenylpropanol and (S)-(1)-phenylbutanol was confirmed that the formation was advantageous.

Effects of high-temperature environment and low-temperature environment on corrosion behaviours of 18Cr stainless steels (type 304L, type 441) in simulated selective catalytic reduction (SCR) environments were studied using weight loss test in each environment and rust analysis. With time to exposure to the high-temperature environment, type 441 was more resistant to corrosion than type 304L due to both higher diffusivity of Cr and lower thermal expansion coefficient in α-iron. The former provides a stable protective Cr₂O₃ layer. The latter leaded to low residual stress between scale and steel, reducing the spallation of the scale. With time to exposure to the low-temperature environment, on the other hand, type 304L was more resistant to corrosion than type 441. The lower resistance of type 441 was caused by Cr-depleted zone with less than 11% formed during the pre-exposure to a high-temperature environment, unlike type 304L. It was confirmed by results from the crevice corrosion test of sensitised 11Cr steel. Hence, to achieve higher corrosion resistance in simulated SCR environments, ferritic stainless steels having lower thermal expansion coefficient and higher diffusivity of Cr but containing more than 18% Cr are recommended.

본 연구에서는 배출가스 중에 포함된 NO를 비선택적 촉매환원법으로 환원시켜 제거하기 위하여 Ag와 V의 함량을 여러 가지로 달리하여 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$에 담지한 촉매를 제조하였고, 제조한 촉매에 대하여 온도, 산소농도, 아황산가스농도의 변화에 따른 $NO_x$의 전환율에 대하여 연구하였다. 또한 제조한 촉매의 물성분석을 통하여 촉매의 상태와 $NO_x$의 전환율과의 관계를 알아보았다. $AgV/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매의 경우에는 고온에서는 $Ag/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매보다 낮은 $NO_x$ 전환율을 나타내는 반면에 저온에서는$Ag/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매보다 높은 $NO_x$ 전환율을 나타내었고, 반응가스 중에 $SO_2$가 함유되어 있어도 $NO_x$의 전환율이 낮아지지 않았다. 반응실험 전 후의 촉매에 대하여 X-ray Diffraction, X-ray Photo electron Spectroscopy, Temperature Programmed Reduction, Ultraviolet-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy 등의 분석결과와 반응실험 결과를 비교하여 볼 때 V가 포함됨으로 인하여 Ag의 산화상태가 잘 유지되지 못하여 고온에서는 $NO_x$ 전환율이 낮아지며, $300^{\circ}C$ 이하의 저온에서는 V의 촉매작용으로 인하여 $NO_x$ 전환율이 높아진 것으로 나타났다.

In order to remove the NO contained in exhaust gas by the non-selective catalyst reduction method, the catalysts were prepared by varing the loading amount of Ag and V into ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. The conversion of $NO_x$ using the prepared catalysts was studied by varying the temperatures, $O_2$ concentrations and $SO_2$ concentrations using. The influence of the catalyst structure on $NO_x$ conversion was studied through the analysis of the physical properties of the prepared catalysts. In the case of $AgV/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst, the $NO_x$ conversion was lower than that of $Ag/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ at higher temperatures but higher than that of $Ag/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ at lower temperatures. Even though $SO_2$ was contained in the reaction gas, the $NO_x$ conversion did not decrease. Based on the analysis including XRD, XPS, TPR, and UV-Vis DRS before and after the experiments, the experimental results were examined. The results indicated that, $NO_x$ conversion decreased at higher temperatures since Ag oxide could not be maintained well due to the addition of V, whereas it increased at temperatures lower than $300^{\circ}C$ due to the catalytic action of V.

The newly-developed Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MVP) type reagents using aluminum, boron and other metals for reduction of organic functional groups such as carbonyl and epoxy compounds have been surveyed. highlighted and reviewed in this account are the appearance of new MPV type reagents and their application to the selective reduction of organic functions.

8-Oxyquinoline dihydroboronite is prepared by mixing equimolar amounts of 8-hydroxyquinoline and borane-dimethyl sulfide complex in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature and its structure is determined by spectroscopic methods. The reagent is shown to be an extremely mild reducing agent and reduces aldehydes, cyclohexanones, and acid chlorides to some extent. The reagent in the presence of 0.1 equiv of boron trifluoride etherate in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature reduces selectively aldehydes in the presence of ketones, while the reagent in the presence of 1 equiv of boron trifluoride etherate rapidly reduces simple aldehydes and ketones but does not reduce carboxylic acids, esters, and amides.

In support of optimizing electrorefining technology for treating spent nuclear fuel, lithium drawdown has been investigated for separating actinides from molten salt electrolyte. Drawdown reaction selectivity is a major issue that requires investigation, since the goal is to remove actinides while leaving the fission products and other components in the salt. A series of lithium drawdown tests with surrogate fission product chlorides was run to obtain selectivity data with non-radioactive salts, develop a predictive model, and draw conclusions about the viability of using this process with actinide-loaded salt. Results of tests with CsCl, $LaCl_3$, $CeCl_3$, and $NdCl_3$ are reported here. Equilibrium was typically achieved in less than 10 hours of contact between lithium metal and molten salt under well-stirred conditions. Maintaining low oxygen and water impurity concentrations (<10 ppm) in the atmosphere was observed to be critical to minimize side reactions and maintain stable salt compositions. An equilibrium model has been formulated and fit to the experimental data. Good fits to the data were achieved. Based on analysis and results obtained to date, it is concluded that clean separation between minor actinides and lanthanides will be difficult to achieve using lithium drawdown.

The new MPV type reagent, Al-trifluoromethanesulfonyldiisobutylalane ($DIBAO_3SCF_3$), has been prepared and its reducing characteristics in the reduction of selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups have been examined, and compared its reactivity with that of Al-methanesulfonyldiisobutylalane ($DIBAO_3SCH_3$) in order to understand the fluorine-substituent effect on its reactivity. In general, the reactivity of $DIBAO_3SCF_3$ appears to be much higher than that of $DIBAO_3SCH_3$, apparently due to the acidity increase by the electron-withdrawing fluorine-substituent. The reagent reduced aldehydes and ketones readily, but showed a perfect selectivity in the reduction of $\alpha,\beta$-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones to produce the corresponding allylic alcohols in an absolutely 100% purity. In addition, the reagent achieved the regioselective cleavage of phenyl- or/and alkyl-substituted epoxides to the less substituted alcohols in a perfect regioselectivity. Moreover, the reagent also showed an high stereoselectivity in the reduction of substituted cycloalkanones to produce the thermodynamically more stable alcohol epimers exclusively.

In general, the reagent is extremely mild, showing only reactivity toward aldehydes, ketones and epoxides. The reagent exhibits a unique reducing applicability in organic synthesis. Thus, the reagent can achieve a clean 1,2-reduction of $\alpha,\beta$-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones to produce the corresponding allylic alcohols in 100% purity. In addition, the reagent shows an excellent regioselectivity in the ring-opening reaction of epoxides. Finally, $DIBAO_3SCH_3$ shows a high stereoselectivity in the reduction of cyclic ketones to produce the thermodynamically more stable epimers exclusively.
