The transformation of alkylaromatic hydrocarbons using zeolite catalysts play big part in the current petrochemical industry. Here we review recent advances in the understanding of the reaction mechanisms of various alkylaromatic conversions with respect to the structural and physicochemical properties of zeolite catalysts employed. Indeed, the shape-selective nature of zeolite catalysts determines the type of reaction intermediates and hence the prevailing reaction mechanism together with the product distribution. The prospect of zeolite catalysis in the developement of more efficient petrochemical processes is also described.

합성고분자막을 이용하여 액체혼합물을 분리하는 공정은 오래전부터 알려져 왔다. 바다물로부터 역삼투법이나 전기투석법을 이용하여 탈염하는 공정이라든지 한외여과 또는 정밀여과법을 이용하여 초순수를 제조하는 공정등은 현재 대단한 기술적, 상업적 의미를 갖으며 산업적으로 발전하고 있다. 더욱 최근에는 합성고분자막이 여러 기체혼합물 분리에 응용되고 있다. 예를 들면 석유화학 폐가스나 암모니아 공장에서 수소의 회수나 공기중의 산소나 질소의 부화등은 막이 아주 유용한 도구로 사용되어 온 두가지 중요한 분야이다. 고분자막이 특정한 물질분리에 맞도록 고안될수 있게 된 이래로 재래식 방법으로는 곤란한 분리문제들이 막공정에 의해 다루어질수 있게 되었다. 이같은 문제중 하나가 폐수중 유기용제등 유기물의 제거이다. 특히 할로겐화 유기물, 살충제, 농약등 오래전부터 독극물로 알려져온 물질들을 폐수로 부터 제저하는데 많은 노력이 경주되어 왔다. 이러한 연구에도 한외여과법이나 역삼투법등의 막분리공정이 응용되어 보고된 바 있다.

This study evaluated the environmental impacts for landfill treatment of the wastewater treatment sludge (WTS) from petrochemical firms by life cycle assessment (LCA) and reviewed the impact reduction by landfill gas (LFG) utilization. The functional unit was 'landfill of 1 ton of WTS', and the system boundary included the process of input and treatment for WTS in landfill site. The impacts were high at landfill process (LP) and leachate treatment process (LTP). Global warming (GWP) and photochemical oxidants creation (POCP) were high at LP, while abiotic depletion (ADP), acidification (AP), eutrophication (EP), ozone depletion (ODP) were high at LTP. The major substances of various impact categories were crude oil (ADP), $NO_X$ (AP, EP), $CH_4$ (GWP, POCP), $Cl_2$ (ODP), respectively. The major factor of ADP, AP, EP was attributed from the generation of electricity used in LTP, and the methane within uncollected LFG was main factor of GWP and POCP. Therefore, electricity consumption reduction is identified to be an impact improvement option, and the flaring system installation or enhanced LFG recovery could be an alternative to reduce impacts. Among the various categories, GWP accounted the highest impact (${\geq}90%$) followed by ADP, POCP. In the avoidance impact resulted from the utilization of LFG, to substitute B-C oil or LNG showed the impact reduction of 32.7% and 12.0%, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to check the priority control status of the current operation process alarm by comparing the priority of the alarm set up in PV high trip point, which is being installed and operated in the domestic petrochemical industry, with the criteria presented in ISA 18.2 International Standard or EEMUA 191 Guidelines. In the event of a process problem, excessively set high alarm is provided to the driver in a short period of time, making it difficult to identify the alarm that needs to be handled first. As a result, it is likely that the operator will not be able to carry out appropriate actions within the specified time frame, and many cases have been reported leading to unexpected process shutdowns or process accidents. Therefore, this study aims to introduce international standards related to alarm management and identify the level of alarm control used at the domestic petrochemical industry site to inform potential risks that may occur in the petrochemical process of the national industrial complex in the future and suggest ways to reduce risk factors. This paper was submitted to Professor Lee Inbeom's retirement anniversary issue.

악취는 냄새를 유발하는 기체상 물질이 사람의 후각을 자극하여 불쾌감이나 혐오감을 주는 상태를 말한다. 악취물질은 정유공장, 화학공장, 하수처리장, 분뇨 및 축산 폐수처리장, 매립장 등의 다양한 발생원이 있으며, 여러가지 복합된 화합물이 원인이 되어 악취를 유발한다. 단위 물질로서 황화수소(H$_2$S)는 계란 썩는 냄새, 메르캅탄(mercaptan)류는 야채 썩는 냄새, 아민류는 생선냄새 등의 특이한 냄새를 유발하며, 최저 감지값은 물질별로 상당한 차이를 나타내고 있다(이광묵, 1993).(중략)

Without a special mineral resources in Korea, such as petrochemical industries, electronics and automotive industries to supply the basic material, but remains a key industry locations. Gongjeongsang dealing with hazardous materials, such as a fire or explosion hazard, and from this site sangjonhae safety regulations to protect human and material disaster prevention activities are focused. However, depending on the actual implementation of standardized safety regulations as necessary if not originally intended, proper objectivity and reliability of safety regulations, as well as impaired resulting in a waste of public and private administrative power and petrochemical industries and the competitiveness of the entire drop factor will. Accordingly, this study petrochemical plant is applied to a representative safety regulations, items for their safety are needed and these regulations as being implemented that was identified, according to a study, some of the need for regulation and implementation both in terms of reliability was low.

The economic feasibility of a commercial indirect liquefaction process with the co-gasification process of petroleum coke which has been recognized as hazardous waste because of high sulfur content and bituminous coal and sub-bituminous coal mixtures was assessed. The 2,000 ton/day scale indirect liquefaction process including co-gasification, clean up, Fischer-Tropsch conversion and so on was assumed and used to analyze economical efficiencies with various conditions. Financial data from previous studies were modified and used and economical sensitivities with various mixture ratios were evaluated in this study. As a result, economic values of petroleum coke were superior than those of coals because of increasing sulfur sale. Also, mixtures with petroleum coke and bituminous coal was more favorable that those with petroleum coke and sub-bituminous coal due to lower moisture content. In case of sub-bituminous coal, the mixture ratio with petroleum coke had to be over 40wt% for the IRR of mixture to surpass 10%.
