2) Research Groups in Public Institutions Engaged in Catalysis 1. Research Center for Catalytic Technology (RCCT), Pohang RCCT with headquarters located at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) was designated as Engineering Research Center (ERC) by the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation and has been functioning as a consortium of university professors. In addition to 5 POSTECH professors, there are about 20 other professors located in several major universities, all engaged in catalysis research with a total research manpower of about 100 personnel, mostly graduate students (M.S., Ph.D. candidates) and several postdoctoral researchers. In 1999, 10 Ph.D. and 24 M.S. degrees were produced by the consortium participants, with a total publication of 101 papers. Research activities encompass fundamentals, petrochemicals, polymers, C 1 chemistry and fine chemicals. Adequate state-of-the-art analytical instruments are available including a 2 GeV Synchrotron Radiation Source located at POSTECH. 2. Center for Molecular Catalysis (CMC), Seoul CMC located at Seoul National University was designated as a Science Research Center (SRC) by the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation and has been the center for research, mostly on homogeneous catalysis. Twenty professors and more than 100 graduate students carry out research on biological, biomimetic, inorganic and electrochemical catalysts. Examples of research subjects are artificial enzymes and receptors, catalytic mechanism of metalloenzymes, analysis of the three-dimensional structure of biological catalysts, synthesis of supramolecular complexes, synthetic studies of organometallic catalysts, chiral catalysts for asymmetric synthesis, and charge transfer processes in photocatalysis. 3. Institute of Chemical Processes (ICP), Seoul ICP is linked with School of Chemical Engineering of Seoul National University, the first department to initiate chemical engineering education in Korea more than 50 years ago. Five professors, 6 post-doctoral researchers and 63 graduate students carry out research on metallocene and Ziegler-Natta catalysts, heteropolyacid and perovskite catalysts for partial oxidation and isomerization, catalytic membrane reactor, deNO x and HDS catalysts, zeolite synthesis, selective hydrogenation, fuel-cell electrode catalysts, base catalysts, photo-catalysis for water splitting, and synthesis of microporous materials. The ICP is supported by the Government and industries has initiated many programs to introduce emerging technologies to catalysis area. 4. Departments of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Daejeon KAIST has been the leading research institute in Korea not only in catalytic science and engineering but also in the major areas of science and technology since its establishment in 1973. More than 100 PhD's have graduated in the area of catalysis. Catalysis research is actively pursued by five faculty members in the departments of chemical engineering and chemistry. The Environmental Catalysis Laboratory and the Nano-materials Laboratory have recently been nominated as National Research Laboratories by the Government. Examples of research subjects are the synthesis and - 63 -
characterization of zeolite and new microporous materials such as KIT-1 and carbon molecular sieves, catalysis for C 1 chemistry, synthesis of specialty polymers using Ziegler-Natta or metallocene catalysts, hydrotreating catalysts for HDS, HDN, HDW or HDM, and deNO x catalysts. 5. Center for Ultramicrochemical Process Systems (CUPS), KAIST, Daejeon CUPS was established in 2001 by the Ministry of Science & Technology as an excellent national center intended for the next-generation science and technology and located at KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology). Twenty researchers are carrying out research on the fabrication of microchemical and their applications. Special emphases are put on the high-throughput-screening for the novel catalysts for environments and energy conversion. Parallel syntheses of catalyst library and the fast screening of their catalytic properties are being developed. High speed characterization methods of catalysts such as TPD, Raman, UV/Visible, Fluorescence and chemisorption measurement are developed. Data mining and informatics for the best design of library are also pursued. The aim of CUPS is establishing the methods for the high-throughput-screening of novel functional materials and creating new catalytic processes and portable microchemical processes. 6. The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), Seoul KIST is the Government-established institute carrying out research to bridge universities and local industries. In 1970s, it successfully commercialized catalytic processes for the synthesis of malonic esters and CFC’s based on self-developed technology. Twelve principal investigators at the Ph.D. level and about 20 researchers at the M.S. level are working in areas including the preparation of aerogel-type materials by the sol-gel process, C 1 chemistry, catalytic wet oxidation for waste-water treatment, desulfurization and deodorization of exhaust gases, and synthesis of CFC alternatives. This group is particularly strong in process development through pilot-plant tests. 7. The Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), Daejeon In this Government-established institute aimed at applied research to support the local chemical industry, thirty researchers (15 Ph.D.s) are working in all areas of catalytic technology. Recent developments by KRICT include the process for polybutene synthesis from C 4 feedstocks (110,000 Ton/yr), ammoxidation catalysts for pyrazine amide and acrylonitrile, catalysts for aromatic alkylation, CO 2 activation via Fischer- Tropsch route, and zeolite-type detergent builder. KRICT is equipped with modern instruments for catalyst characterization. 8. The Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER), Daejeon KIER is the Government-established institute for research on the efficient utilization of energy from fossil and non-fossil fuel, and the exploitation of renewable energy. Twenty five researchers (20 Ph.D.s) are working on photocatalysis, fabrication of industrial catalysts and adsorbents, utilization of natural gas, catalytic combustion, and catalytic abatement of hazardous gases. - 64 -
