Bidding - the International Association of the Catalysis Societies

9. The Research Institute for Catalysis (RIC) of Chonnam National University,
Gwangju
Ten faculty members and more than 60 graduate students in the departments of
chemical engineering, applied chemistry and chemistry are active members of RIC
devoted to catalysis research. An example of processes developed by RIC is the
catalytic removal of dissolved oxygen from cooling water of a power plant. Other
research includes the depolymerization of waste polymers, photocatalysis, zeolite and
mesoporous materials, and metal-complex catalysts.
10. Department of Chemical Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul
Four faculty members and 38 graduate students are active in researches on fuel cell,
photocatalysis, HDS and deNO x , aerogel catalysts for CO 2 reforming of methane, base
catalysts, and nano-porous materials.
11. Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Korea University, Seoul
Four professors and 20 graduate students are involved in C 1 chemistry, alkane activation,
fuel cell, deNOx, dePM and CO oxidation for auto-vehicles, biocatalysis, and catalytic
synthesis of specialty chemicals. Researches on plasma-induced catalytic reaction,
catalytic membrane reactor, micro reaction system, gas to liquid, biodiesel, DME, and
micro fuel cells are recently being performed.
12. Department of Chemical Engineering, Hanyang University, Seoul
Two professors and 15 graduate students are working on dearomatization of heavy oil,
modification and application of zeolitic materials, and characterization of supported
metal catalysts.
13. Departments of Chemical Engineering, Chemical Technology, and Chemistry,
Kyungpook National University, Daegu
Six professors and 33 graduate students are active in research on ethylene dimerization
using acid catalysts, fuel cell, methanol reforming, synthesis of specialty chemicals
using base catalysts, characterization of zeolite structure, and polymerization using
metallocene catalysts.
14. Department of Chemical Engineering, Yeungnam University, Daegu
Three professors and 10 graduate students are working on oxidation of volatile organic
chemicals, alkylation, desulfurization, alkane activation, and olefin copolymerization.
15. Department of Chemical Engineering, Pusan National University, Busan
Two professors and 15 graduate students are actively involved in catalytic recycling of
waste tires, CO 2 fixation, phase transfer catalysis, selective oxidation of hydrogen
sulfide, and simulation of reaction processes.
16. Department of Chemical Engineering, Pukyung National University, Busan
Two professors and 11 graduate students are working on selective oxidation of
hydrocarbons and hydrogen sulfide, characterization of mixed oxide catalysts, and
catalyst deactivation.
