Conjugated linoleic acid methylester was synthesized through isomerization of linoleic acid methylester by using heterogeneous catalysts. As for heterogeneous catalysts, Ni supported zeolite type catalysts were used. H zoelite Y (HY) were ion exchanged with KCl aqueous solution to synthesize K zeolite Y (KY), and with impregnation method, Ni supported zeolite catalysts were synthesized. Catalysts were used after pre-treatment by using hydrogen. HY catalysts showed a high conversion at low temperatures; but a low selectivity for conjugation reaction. KY catalysts showed a low conversion at low temperatures; but a similar conversion with HY catalysts at high temperatures while a high selectivity at low temperatures. As a result, 4 wt% Ni/KY720 recorded the high conjugation yield of 63.4% at 220.

최근에 들어서 태양에너지의 화학적 에너지로의 변환에 대한 연구는 에너지 부족에 대한 대안으로서 각광을 받고 있는 분야이다. 이런 관심을 바탕으로 한 다양한 연구는 연속식 또는 회분식 반응기를 이용한 불균일계 촉매를 이용함으로써 진행되고 있고, 특히 기-액, 기-고 그리고 기-액-고상 반응기를 응용하는 광촉매 반응에 관심이 증폭되고 있다. 그리고 광촉매 반응이 실제 산업계에서 활용되기 전에 먼저 불균일계 광촉매 반응기의 설계기준에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 하며 실제 산업적인 응용측면에서도 광촉매 반응의 충분한 이용가능성에 관심이 이루어져야 한다.(중략)

지금까지 다양한 종류의 촉매 시스템에 의한 폴리올레핀 제조법에 관하여 알아보았다. 특히, 기존의 불균일계 착체 전이 금속 촉매 시스템 및 균일계 촉매 시스템에 의한 폴리올레핀 합성법과 비교하여 활성도 및 입체 규칙성 측면에서 최근 세계적인 '핫 잇슈'가 되고 있는 메탈로센 촉매 시스템을 이용한 폴리올레핀 제조법에 대하여 검토하였다. 이들에 대한 상세한 반응기구 및 반응 속도론(kinetics)에 대한 사항은 생략하였다. 이들에 대한 상세한 설명들은 여러 문헌에 잘 소개되어 있으며, 메탈로센 촉매 제조를 위한 다양한 리간드 합성법도 문헌에 잘 소개되어 있다. 이미 설명한 폴리올레핀 신합성법에 사용되는 메탈로센 촉매 및 비메탈로센계 촉매 이외에도 최근 크롬계 촉매 역시 올레핀 중합에 긴요하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 관점에서, 현재 국내에서 폴리올레핀 공급과잉 현상은 새로운 기술에 의한 각종 그레이드(grade)의 특화만이 문제점 해결의 지름길이 될 것이라 판단된다.

Photocatalysis, which can be applied to get energy economically, to synthesize useful materials, and to remove environmentally harmful materials by transforming solar energy to chemical energy, has many advantages over conventional heterogeneous catalysis. In this review article, both heterogeneous and homogeneous photocatalyses were discussed focusing on the principles of photocatalysis, the modification of the photocatalysts, hydrogen formation by water decomposition, and environmental application of photocatalysis.

The effect of internal donor(ID) in the heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalyst on the ethylene-1-butene copolymerization and the molecular structure of the resulting copolymer was investigated. $SiO_2$-supported $TiCl_4$ catalysts having ID/Ti molar ratio of 0.5 were prepared with ethyaluminium dichloride, magnesium alkyl, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and $TiCl_4$. Three different IDs were employed such as ethylbenzoate(EB), diisobuylphthalate(DIBP) and dioctylphthalate(DOP). ID-added catalyst showed a larger fraction of Ti(+3) compared to that of no ID-added catalyst. The EB-added catalyst showed the highest activity in copolymerization. Xylene soluble value decreased by more than 50 % with ID-added catalysts compared to that of no ID-added catalyst. Crystaf analysis showed the chemical compositional distribution of PE copolymer was improved in the case of DIBP-added catalyst significantly. It could be explained that the presence of ID could make more even active sites and block the non-stereospecific active sites.

Xenon-129 NMR technique has been developed since 1980 as a new method for the characterization of microporous materials such as zeolites, activated carbons and alumina by using chemical shift and linewidth variations in $^{129}Xe$ NMR of adsorbed xenon gas. This NMR technique has been known to be very effective to probe the locational and the chemical changes of the supported metallic species as well as the physicochemical change of the support material. Recently, this method has been successfully applied for the characterization of amorphous materials such as activated carbons, silica and alumina. Basic principles, experimental techniques and recent applications of the $^{129}Xe$ NMR method for the study of heterogeneous catalysts are introduced in this paper.

Styrenated phenol alkoxylates (SP-A) were prepared from styrenated phenol (SP) and ethylene oxide (EO) under a homogeneous base catalyst. However, to use EO that is difficult to handle, a high-pressure reaction device capable of controlling the reaction process should be used. Additionally, when a homogeneous base catalyst is used, a neutralization process is required to remove residual bases after the reaction, and it is also difficult to separate the catalyst and the product. Therefore, in this study, we report the results of SP-A prepared from the reaction of SP and EC using only heterogeneous base catalysts. The heterogeneous base catalyst was obtained by supporting KOH on $La_2O_3$ and calcintion. Using EC instead of EO, it was possible to produce SP-A under the atmospheric rather than high-pressure reaction condition. Average molecular weights of synthesized SP-A varied greatly depending on reaction conditions. The average molecular weight of SP-A prepared using the $KOH/La_2O_3$ catalyst could be controlled arbitrarily by controlling the reaction temperature and added catalyst and EC amounts.

Copolymerization of ethylene and ${\alpha}$-olefin using $rac-Et[Ind]_2ZrCl_2/MAO$ catalyst embedded onto polysty-rene was examined. The embedded catalyst was prepared by polymerizing a small amount of styrene with $rac-Et[Ind]_2ZrCl_2$. The catalytic activities of the embedded catalyst were higher than those of the homogeneous catalystregardless of comonomer type and the characteristic of the active sites of the embedded catalyst was not affected duringthe embedding process. Based on the DSC and NMR analyses of the produced copolymers, it was thought that theembedded catalyst had similar or slightly better comonomer incorporation ability. Furthermore, the copolymers produced by the embedded catalyst had higher bulk densities and better particle morphology than those by the homogeneous catalyst.

In this review we discussed the effective ways to catalytically derive value-added chemicals from propane which has been utilized only as an energy source so far. Among various propane-derived products, the most valuable chemicals such as propylene and acrylonitrile were mainly focused herein. Propylene could be manufactured through oxidative dehydrogenation of propane using $O_2,\;CO_2$, etc. as an oxidant for the purpose of overcoming thermodynamic limitations of propane dehydrogenation. On the other hand, propane ammoxidation would be an alternative to propylene ammoxidation for producing acrylonitrile since propane is much cheaper than propylene as a starting material. Although effective $MoVTeNbO_x$ catalysts have been developed fur propane ammoxidation in recent years, more detailed studies should be thoroughly performed. In carrying out both oxidative dehydrogenation and ammoxidation of propane fur a long period, the most critical issue is definitely considered to find out the most active and selective catalysts, which makes it possible to commercialize both reactions into economically viable processes.
