Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for upgrading heavy oil by using byproducts of coke production, and particularly provides a method for upgrading heavy oil comprising the steps of: a) mixing heavy oil with byproducts of coke production to produce a mixed liquid: and b) subjecting the mixed liquid to pyrolysis, the method allowing reduction of the amount of coke generated and thus being economical and effective.

Abstract: A method for upgrading heavy oil by using a coke production byproduct comprises the steps of: producing a mixed solution by mixing a coke production byproduct and heavy oil; and hydrogenating the mixed solution under a hydrogenation catalyst, wherein the present disclosure is economical and effective by being able to reduce the amount of coke formation and significantly reduce the partial pressure of added hydrogen by using the coke production byproduct as a hydrogen donor.

Abstract: Provided is an SCR catalyst for removing nitrogen oxides (NOx) from exhaust gas, comprising: 0.01-70 wt % of zeolite having an average pore size of 5 ? or more; 25-90 wt % of titanium dioxide (TiO2); and 4-10 wt % of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5). The SCR catalyst according to the present invention exhibits denitrification performance in a low-temperature area that is superior to that of a conventional SCR catalyst, has improved tolerance for a sulfur compound, and also has an excellent regeneration rate.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a catalyst for a water gas shift reaction at middle temperature, the catalyst comprising a catalytically active component containing 40 to 80 mol % of copper (Cu), 15 to 50 mol % of zinc (Zn), and 1 to 13 mol % of aluminum (Al), relative to all metals of the catalyst, wherein an aluminum-rich layer is present in a surface layer of a particle of the catalyst. Furthermore, the present disclosure provides a preparation method of the catalyst, and a hydrogen preparation method using the same.

Abstract: A nickel-M-alumina hybrid xerogel catalyst for preparing methane, wherein the metal M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Fe, Co, Ni, Ce, La, Mo, Cs, Y, and Mg, a method for preparing the catalyst and a method for preparing methane using the catalyst are provided. The catalyst has strong resistance against a high-temperature sintering reaction and deposition of carbon species, and can effectively improve a conversion ratio of carbon monoxide and selectivity to methane.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing a dialkyl carbonate, in which a dialkyl carbonate such as dimethyl carbonate is economically prepared in an environmentally-friendly manner at a higher yield while reducing generation of a by-product. The method for preparing the dialkyl carbonate includes reacting urea, an alkyl carbamate having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or a mixture thereof with a monovalent alcohol having 1 to 3 carbon atoms in the presence of a room temperature ionic liquid and a catalyst including a salt of a transition metal or a rare earth metal.
