Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a catalyst for oxidative coupling of methane, specifically, it relates to a catalyst for oxidative coupling of methane comprising: a magnesium titanium oxide support comprising a mixed oxide of magnesium and titanium; and sodium tungstate and manganese oxide supported on the support, a method for preparing the same, and a method for oxidative coupling of methane. The catalyst for oxidative coupling according to the present disclosure, wherein a mixed oxide of magnesium and titanium is used as the support of the catalyst, is capable of providing significantly improved catalytic activity and C2 hydrocarbon yield as compared to pure magnesium oxide or titanium oxide. By preparing the oxide support not by a physical process but by a chemical sol-gel process, a catalyst for oxidative coupling with a peculiar crystal structure not found in a single oxide support can be provided.

Provided are a biocompatible pressure sensor which can be implanted into a body to wirelessly measure an internal pressure of the body outside the body, and a method of manufacturing the biocompatible pressure sensor. The biocompatible pressure sensor includes a coil inductor, a capacitor electrically connected with the coil inductor to constitute an LC resonant circuit together with the coil inductor, a flexible membrane disposed while being spaced apart from the coil inductor with an internal space interposed therebetween and surrounded by a housing, and a pressure displacement member fixed to one surface of the flexible membrane facing the coil inductor. The flexible membrane is transformed by external pressure to change a distance between the coil inductor and the pressure displacement member.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for monitoring the progress of membrane fouling that occurs on pores as well as on the surface of a membrane by means of variations of zeta potential (null) of a hollow-fiber membrane according to time passage of filtration of a suspension, wherein colloid particles, biopolymers and other inorganic particles are dispersed, and the method thereof. Moreover, the present invention also relates to a method to identify the effect of concentration polarization layer and cake layer which can vary according to the axial position of a hollow-fiber and the developing progress of a membrane fouling by measuring the position-dependent zeta potential of the hollow-fiber membrane.
