Pervaporation experiments of ternary ethanol/isopropanol/water mixtures were performed using poly(dimethyl siloxane)(PDMS) membrane at $45^{\circ}C$ and the mutual effects of ethanol and isopropanol on the permeation characteristics were studied. Compared to the case of the binary aqueous ethanol or isopropanol solutions, the existence of ethanol or isopropanol in the ternary mixtures resulted in the depression of each other's permeation rate. The depression effect of ethanol on the isopropanol permeation was more considerable than the depression effect of isopropanol on the ethanol permeation. These decreases in the permeation rate were thought to be due to the larger interactions between permeants than the plasticizing effects of ethanol or isopropanol on the polymer membrane. The strong interactions between permeants reduced the driving forces for both ethanol and isopropanol permeation in the ternary mixtures.

xAl-yZr mixed oxide catalysts with different molar ratios of Al/(Al+Zr) were prepared by a co-precipitation method and its catalytic performance was compared in the iso-propanol dehydration as a model reaction. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), N₂ adsorprion-desorption, NH₃ temperature programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD), and iso-propanol TPD analyses. The addition of Al into ZrO₂ promoted the formation of relatively small particles with large surface areas and retarded the transformation of teragonal phase to monoclnic phase. NH₃-TPD results revealed that the relative acidity of the catalysts increased along with the increase of Al molar ratio. The catalytic activity for the dehydration of iso-propanol to propylene was also increased with the same tendency. The catalytic activity could be correlated with high surface area, acidity and easy desorption of iso-propanol.

Pervaporation experiments of isopropanol-water mixtures through a polydimethytsiloxane(PDMS) membrane were carried out at 35$^{\circ}$C and the effect of isopropanol concentration on the separation characteristics was investigated. The total permeation rate showed the largest deviation from the ideal permeation rate at the isoprpanol volume fraction from 0.5 to 0.7, which resulted from the interaction effect between permeants. The plasticizing effect of isopropanol enhanced the permeation of water, while the existance of water resulted in the depression of isopropanol permeation. Both the permeation rate and the selectivity were predicted using Flory-Huggins thermodynamics and modified Maxwell-Stefan equation. The concentration-dependent diffusion coefficients were expressed by Vignes equation. The Flory-Huggins interaction parameter between isopropanol and water was calculated using excess Gibbs energy correlation and the interaction parameters between liquid and polymer membrane were determined by equilibrium swelling experiments. The predicted permeation rates were in accord with the experimental ones within maximum error range of 35 %. The predicted permeation selectivities were in good agreement with the experimental values.

Mg-Al mixed oxides with molar ratio of Mg/Al = 1-3 were prepared by co-precipitation and characterized by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, BET surface area and pore volume measured by $N_2$ sorption analysis, and temperature programmed desorption of iso-propanol. As Al content in Mg-Al mixed oxide increased, the acidity and BET surface area proportionally increased. This increase of acidity directly influenced the catalytic activity of iso-propanol conversion and selectivity to propylene.

The sorption amounts of butanol/water and isopropanol/water solution on the surface modified with FASs (fluoroalkylsilanes) hydrophobic membrane were measured and analyzed using Hansen's solubility parameters. The difference of the solubility parameter of butanol (${\delta}_t=20.4$) and that of the surface modified with FASs hydrophobic membrane (${\delta}_t=16.9$) was greater than the case of isopropanol (${\delta}_t=24.6$), which might explain the result that the sorption amount of butanol was much higher than that of isopropanol. We might also explain the effect of the polar force (${\delta}_p$) on the sorption amount. The difference (${\Delta}$) between FASs polar force (${\delta}_p=4.6$) and butanol polar force (${\delta}_p=6.3$) was much smaller than that between FASs polar force (${\delta}_p=4.6$) and isopropanol polar force (${\delta}_p=9.0$), which meant that the interaction of butanol-FASs was much greater than that of isopropanol-FASs, and resulted in greater sorption amount of butanol on the FASs. This study showed Hansen's solubility parameters might be used for analysis of sorption characteristics of alcohol on membrane and solubility of solute in solvent.

A new nonvolatile and nonflammable soldering flux was developed. This flux was synthesized with dichloropropane as its solvent instead of VOC solvents such as isopropanol and methanol etc. which had been used in the conventional flux. It was confirmed that the nonflammable and nonvolatile flux(NFV-flux) was better in insulation resistance, workability, and reliability and that it was better in the enviromment and safety of the working place and more economic in comparison with the conventional flux.

The membrane requires both high in selectivity and flux. However, the permselective membrane has low flux. In this study, the porous alumina membrane was coated with silane coupling agent in order to enhance the flux with proper selectivity. The contact angle of water to the surface-modified alumina membrane was greater than 90$^{\circ}$, which indicated the high hydrophobicity. The modified membrane was tested in vapor permeation for the concentration of aqueous ethanol, isopropanol, and n-butanol. With the increase of ethanol, isopropanol, butanol concentration in the feed, permeation flux increased due to the greater affinity of ethanol, isopropanol, butanol with surface-modified alumina membrane than that of water. The experimental results showed that the permeation tate of surface-modified alumina membrane was 20~1000 times greater than that of a polymer membranes.

Zirconium hydroxide was synthesized by varying the aging time of the zirconyl chloride octahydrate at $100^{\circ}C$ in aqueous solution and the resulting hydroxides were calcined at $700^{\circ}C$ for 6 h to obtain the crystalline $ZrO_2$. The materials used in this study were characterized by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), $N_2$-sorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), $NH_3$ temperature-programmed desorption ($NH_3$-TPD), $CO_2$-TPD and iso-propanol TPD analyses to correlate with catalytic activity for the dehydration of iso-propanol. The pure tetragonal $ZrO_2$ phase was obtained after 24 h aging of zirconium hydroxide and successive calcination at $700^{\circ}C$. The increase of aging time showed the production of smaller particle size $ZrO_2$ resulting that the higher specific surface area and total pore volume. $NH_3$-TPD results revealed that the relative acidity of the catalysts increased along with the increase of aging time. On the other hand, the results of $CO_2$-TPD showed the reverse trend of $NH_3$-TPD results. The best catalytic activity for the dehydration of iso-propanol to propylene was shown over $ZrO_2$ catalyst aged for 168 h which had the highest $S_{BET}$ ($178\;m^2\;g^{-1}$). The catalytic activity could be correlated with high surface area, relative acidity and easy desorption of iso-propanol.

The acid characteristics of ${\beta}$-zeolites was modified by the different calcination conditions in order to remove template and the post-treatments such as ammonium ion exchange and HCl treatment. Alkylation of benzene with propene and isopropanol was carried out over the catalysts to investigate the effect of acid characteristics on the selectivity to cumene in this reaction. The $Br{\ddot{o}}nsted$ acidity(IR $3610cm^{-1}$ band) of ${\beta}$-zeolite was significantly reduced by a deep bed calcination compared to that of ${\beta}$-zeolite calcined in a shallow bed. Moreover, extraframework aluminum species which did not show acidity were produced by the framework dealumination on the deep bed calcined ${\beta}$-zeolite. $Br{\ddot{o}}nsted$ acidity of deep bed calcined ${\beta}$-zeolite was significantly recovered by ammonium ion exchange, however, it was partially recovered by a weak HCl treatment. It was found that the framework aluminum as well as the extraframework aluminum were extracted by a strong HCl treatment. The selectivity to cumene was shown to be about 95% on the shallow bed calcined ${\beta}$-zeolite, however, it decreased to 90% on the deep bed calcined one. The post-treatment such as ammonium exchange and weak HCl treatment enhanced the selectivity to cumene up to 93% by the partial recovery of $Br{\ddot{o}}nsted$ acidity. Propene was proved to be a good alkylating agent for the selectivity to cumene compared to isopropanol.
