Recent studies have actively investigated ways to improve the economic feasibility and efficiency of the Fischer-Tropsch process by increasing the yields of the monocyclic aromatic compounds (BTEX). In this study, ethylene was selected as a model of F-T-derived hydrocarbons, and the ethylene-to-aromatics (ETA) reaction was investigated according to changes in acid characteristics, mesopores, and crystallinity of HZSM-5 (HZ5). Fluorinated HZ5 was prepared by calcination followed by impregnation of an aqueous NH₄F solution having different molar concentrations in HZ5, and the structural and chemical properties of F/HZ5 were investigated through Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), NH₃-temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), and pyridine-IR spectroscopy. The ETA reactions were performed at 673 K under 0.1 MPa, and fluorinating HZ5 by an aqueous NH₄F solution of 0.17 M improved ethylene conversion, BTEX selectivity, and catalytic stability due to acidity, mesopore fraction, and crystallinity.

Polymerization properties of six dinuclear constrained geometry catalysts (DCGC) were investigated. The different length bridges of three catalysts were para-phenyl (Catalyst 1), para-xylyl (Catalyst 2), and para-diethylene phenyl (Catalyst 6). The other three DCGC have the same para-xylyl bridge with the different substituents at the phenyl ring of the bridge. The selected substituents were isopropyl (Catalyst 3), n-hexyl (Cataylst 4), and n-octyl (Catalyst 5), It was found that the longer catalyst not only exhibited a greater activity but also prepared a higher molecular weight copolymer. The catalyst 3 having a bulky isopropyl substituent revealed the lower activity but formed the highest molecular weight polymer comparing with the other alkyl substituted DCGCs. These results were able to be understood on the basis of the electronic and steric characteristics of the bridge. This study confirms that the control of the bridge structure of DCGC may contribute to control the microstructure of polymers.

수소는 미래의 청정에너지원이다. 수소를 생산하는 효과적인 방법으로는 탄소계촉매를 이용하여 부탄을 분해하는 것이다. 촉매는 카본블랙이 사용되었으며, $500{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위에서 열분해 반응과 촉매분해반응이 수행되었다. 열분해의 경우 온도가 증가함에 따라 전화율이 증가하여 $800^{\circ}C$에서 98.9%로 부탄이 거의 분해되었으며, $900^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 전화율이 100%까지 도달하였다. 부탄 분해반응에서 기대되는 생성물은 메탄, 에틸렌, 에탄, 프로필렌, 프로판 등이다. $1000^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서는 부탄 촉매 분해반응에서 거의 대부분 수소와 메탄만이 관찰되었다. 특히 $500-1100^{\circ}C$까지 온도가 증가하였을 때 수소의 생성율은 꾸준히 증가하는 것으로 확인되었고 촉매분해반응이 촉매를 사용하지 않은 열분해반응보다 온도가 증가함에 따라 수소의 선택도를 더욱 향상시켜 보다 많은 수소가 생성되었으며, 반응성 실험이 진행되는 동안 촉매의 비활성화는 관찰되지 않았다. 반응전후의 촉매의 특성을 분석하기 위해 TEM 및 SEM 분석을 하였다. 반응전의 촉매는 매끈한 모양이었으나 $1000-1100^{\circ}C$에서 반응후에는 표면에 돌기모양을 형성하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.

Changes in the electrical conductivity of gallium doped zinc oxide during the dehydrogenative oxidation of ethanol between 250 and $350^{\circ}C$ have been studied. Both dehydrogenation and dehydration of ethanol takes place on ZnO. At $300^{\circ}C$ and above formation of $CO_2$ was observed accompanied by an increase in the electrical conductivity. This seems to be due to oxidation of CO formed by the decomposition of acetaldehyde. Addition of oxygen to ethanol increases the amount of acetaldehyde formed, while no change is observed in ethylene formation. It may be that oxygen which is present primarily as $O^-$ provides a favorable site for the adsorption of ethanol and for subsequent hydrogen substraction.

Pyrolysis of bituminous coal has been carried out in a two-stage fixed bed reactor to produce high heating value gas(7000 kcal/N㎥) for industrial or town gas usage. The effects of coke catalyst, pyrolysis temperature (468∼565$^{\circ}C$), and catalytic cracking temperature (700∼850$^{\circ}C$) on the product gas properties from pyrolysis of bituminous coal have been determined. From pyrolysis of Dong Jin coal with coke, the carbon deposition on catalyst is found to be less than 5% of product tar and approximately 15% of total energy iii the parent coal can be recovered as high heating value gas. Oil composition in the product tar from the two-stage pyrolysis is higher than that from low-temperature pyrolysis. The tar produced from pyrolysis below 516$^{\circ}C$ can be easily catalytically cracked but, the tar produced above 565$^{\circ}C$ cannot be cracked easily with catalyst. From the product gas analysis, the catalytic cracking temperature should be maintained below 800$^{\circ}C$ since cracking speed of ethylene increases remarkably with the cracking temperature above 800$^{\circ}C$.

[서론] Pure Ti 및 Ti합금의 양극산화법에 의해 만들 수 있는 자기조직화된 나노튜브피막은 광촉매, 태양전지 등 다양한 분야에서 많은 연구가 되고 있다. 양극산화법에 의해 생성되는 산화피막층의 성장거동에 대해서 지금까지 용액의 pH, 온도 및 인가전압 등 양극산화조건의 영향에 대해 많은 연구가 보고 되었다. 하지만, 양극산화에 사용되는 기판의 특성에 대해서는 많은 연구가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 pure Ti 및 Ti-Ni합금에 양극산화법에 의해 생성하는 나노튜브 피막층의 성장거동에 대해 기판의 특성(Ni농도 변화 및 phase변화)이 피막층의 형태 및 성장거동에 미치는 영향에 대해서 조사 하였다. [실험방법] Sample은 pure Ti 및 Ti-xNi(x=49.0, 51.1, 52.2, 52.5 at.%)를 이용하였다. Ti-Ni합금은 아크용해로 제작 후 $1000^{\circ}C$ 에서 24시간 균질화 처리 후 20% 냉간압연을 하였다. 합금의 조성 및 결정구조 분석은 EPMA 및 XRD를 통해 조사 하였고, 양극산화는 미량의 물 및 불화암모늄을 포함한 에틸렌글리콜 용액에서 20, 35, 50V 20분간 실시하였다. 양극산화법에 의해 형성한 산화피막층은 FE-SEM 및 TEM을 통해 관찰 하였다. [결론] Pure Ti의 경우 모든 조건에서 나노튜브형태의 산화막이 형성되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 하지만, Ti-Ni 합금의 경우 20V, 35V에서는 sponge 형태의 산화막이 형성되고, 50V에서만 나노튜브형태의 산화막이 형성 되었다. 또한, 모든 시편에서 양극산화 시간이 증가함에 따라 나노튜브형태의 산화막은 sponge 형태로 구조적 변화가 일어나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고, 기판 Ni농도가 증가 함에 따라 형성되는 산화막의 형태 변화는 가속화 되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 양극산화 초기 Ti의 우선적 산화에 의해 Ti과잉의 나노튜브층이 생성되고, 동시에 산화막과 합금계면에 Ni과잉층이 형성되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 산화막과 합금계면에 생성된 Ni과잉층에 의해 양극산화 시간이 증가함에 따라 sponge형태의 산화막이 생성되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Aziridine derivatives were utilized for the formation of aziridine N-oxides at low temperature, which were subject to easy decomposition and/or rearrangement like the protonated aziridines at room temperature. t-Butyl nitroso compound formed by the decomposition of N-oxide is easily characterized by its blue color and it is the major product in case that no branched alkyl groups are substituted on the carbon atoms of the aziridine ring and the stationary groups on the nitrogen are inert to rearrange the oxide such as the t-butyl group. The oxidative rearrangement products, however, are mainly formed when the substituents are methyl or ethyl group on the carbon atoms. It is interesting to see that the sigmatropic rearrangement of 2-ethyl aziridine gave only cis olefinic compound selectively in case that t-butyl group was substituted on the nitrogen, whereas N-hydroxy aziridine compounds were formed exclusively when t-butyl group was replaced with ethyl group.

Light olefins are important petrochemicals as well as primary building blocks for various chemical intermediates. As the number of ethane cracking center (ECC) process, in which ethylene accounts for most of the production, has increased in recent years, propylene supply is not catching up with steadily increasing propylene demand. This trend makes the conversion of methanol to olefins to get more industrial importance. The methanol to olefins (MTO) process produces methanol through syngas and obtain olefins such as propylene through methanol. Since the reaction from methanol to olefins provides different product compositions depending on the catalyst used for the reaction, it is important to choose an appropriate separation process for the reaction product with different composition. Four different separation processes are considered for four representative cases of product compositions. The separation processes for the reaction products are evaluated by techno-economic analysis based on the simulation results using Aspen plus. Guidelines are provided for selecting a suitable separation process for each of representative case of product compositions in the MTO process.

Conversion of DME (dimethyl ether) or methanol to light olefins (ethylene, propylene, butenes) over SAPO-34 were systematically studied, where it was observed that DME was dehydrated to light olefins and partially converted to by-products such as CO and $CO_2$ at various reaction temperatures on the time-on-stream. SAPO-34 catalyst during the DTO (dimetyl ether-to-olefins) reaction was significantly deactivated compared with MTO (methanol-toolefins) reaction. By addition of water to the reaction feed, the yield to light olefins was not only increased, but the life time of the catalyst was also prolonged by the suppression of the coke formation by steam.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of pulsing treatment and to develop techniques treated right after harvest by grower for extending vase life and improving flower quality in cut freesia. Thirty minutes dipping treatment of STS 2 mM followed by 20 hr pulsing in sucrose 10% + BA 10 ppm + 8-HQS 300 ppm solution showed the best results in vase life and flower quality of cut freesia when kept in vase water. This pretreatment extended vase life by 24.7% than control, and improved quality of cut freesia significantly in flower diameter, percent flowering (35.4%), fresh weight, water uptake, and carotenoid content, and depressed ethylene production and respiration rate.
