The kinetics of the transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) with ethylene glycol (EG) was studied in a batch reactor. Bishydroxyethyl terephthalate (BHET), which is poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) monomer, can be produced by the transesterification reaction. Zinc acetate was used as a catalyst. Previous kinetic studies was carried out in a semi-batch reactor where generated methanol was removed so that reverse reactions were not considered in the kinetic expressions, resulting in inaccuracy of the kinetic model. Mathematical models of a batch reactor for the tranesterification reaction were developed and used to characterize the reaction kinetics and the composition distribution of the reaction products. More accurate models than previous ones were obtained and found to have a good agreement between model predictions and experimental data. Effect of process variables on the esterification reaction was investigated based on the experimental and simulation results.

In this study, we investigated NO oxidation characteristic that depends on available chlorine concentration and temperature of seawater which is treated by un-divided electrolysis. Reactant gas passed through bubbling reactors which is filled with electrolyzed water and then NO concentration change was analyzed. In the closed-loop electrolysis system, concentration of available chlorine increased with electrolysis time. The higher oxidation rate of NO to $NO_2$ was obtained with the higher concentration of available chlorine. Oxidation of NO was fast when temperature of electrolyzed water was high, in the case of same concentration of available chlorine.

The present study has numerically investigated the combustion processes in the solid propellant rocket engine. The two step global reaction model for condensed phase and five step global reaction mechanism for gas phase are adopted to predict the detailed flame structure near double-base solid propellant surface. The turbulence-chemistry interaction is represented by the PaSR(Partially Stirred Reactor) model. To reduce the uncertainties for convective heat transfer near solid fuel surface having strong blowing effect, the Low Reynolds number k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model is employed. Based on numerical results, the detailed discussion has been made for the turbulent combustion processes and transient behavior of pressure and temperature fields in the solid propellant rocket engine.

An investigation was performed to prepare spherical cobalt powder with about particle size of 400nm from aqueous cobalt hydroxide slurry under hydrothermal reduction conditions using palladium chloride as a catalyst. The reduction kinetics was in good agreement with a surface reaction core model equation. and the activation energy obtained from Arrhenius plots was 55.6 KJ/mol at the temperature range of $145~195^{\circ}C$. Additionally, the study showed that the cobalt reduction rate is proportional to the initial hydrogen pressure with a reaction order of n=0.63. which corresponds to the gas chemisorption reaction type.

The rate constants for the hydrolysis of benzenesulfonylimido phosgene at various pH were determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry in 1 : 4 dioxane-water mixed solvents at 25$^{\circ}$C and a rate equation which can be applied over a wide pH range was obtained. Based on the Grunwald-Winstein equation, m = 0.4 was obtained. The thermodynamic activation parameters for the hydrolysis were ${\Delta}H^{\neq}$ = 15kcal mol$^{-1}$, ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$ = 21e.u. at pH 4.0 and $ {\Delta}H^{\neq}$ = 8kcal. mol$^{-1}$, ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$ = -39e.u. at pH 11.0, respectively. It was concluded that the hydrolysis of benzenesulfonylimido phosgene in 1 : 4 dioxane-water mixed solvents proceed via nucleophilic addition-elimination.

Dissolution of magnetite powders by 0.05 M citric acid was investigated at $50^{\circ}C$. All the tests were performed in the pH range between 2.0 to 5.0, which was adjusted using nitric acid or sodium hydroxide. Concentration of each of the dissociated chemical species of citric acid under various solution pHs was calculated using the ionization constants. Variation of zeta potential of magnetite with pH changes was also investigated. The dissolution reaction was explained by comparing the concentration of the dissociated chemical species of citric acid with the zeta potential. Longer than 3 h of induction time was required to dissolve the magnetite. The dissolution behaviour of magnetite was well described by the equation. The physical meaning of each parameter was explained successfully from the model equation.

This study is a new evaluation using the Arrhenius equation, which is known as the chemical reaction rate estimation equation, to evaluate the intrinsic and extrinsic value elements of patents as a model. The performance of the evaluation model was superior to the SVM, Logistic reg. and ANN models that were used as patent evaluation models in prior studies. In addition, there was a strong correlation between the predicted lifespan of the patent and the actual lifespan of the patent. These evaluation models may be used for evaluation purposes only, or if an evaluation is required, including a commercialization entity or technical characteristics.

1,4-dioxane은 페인트, 광택제 및 코팅제의 제조시에 첨가되는 화학물질로 인간에 대한 발암 가능성과 수중에서의 지속성으로 인해 EPA priority pollutant로 지정되어 있다. 이에 최근 고도산화법을 이용한 처리가 계속적으로 연구되고 있으며, UV/$H_2O_2$ 공법을 통하여 수계에서 발견되는 난분해성 유기 오염물의 제거가 효과적인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 하지만 고도산화공정(AOP)은 다량의 에너지 소모와 산화제 투여로 인한 높은 운전비용이 현실적인 적용에 장애가 되고 있다. 한편 상대적으로 저렴한 비용으로 1,4-dioxane을 처리할 수 있다는 장점으로 인하여 생물학적 분해에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 하지만, 1,4-dioxane에 대한 많은 연구들이 주로 분해미생물의 분리동정 및 회분식 분해특성에 대한 연구들 위주로 보다 실질적인 연속적 처리반응조의 운전결과들은 거의보고 되지 않고 있다. 본 연구는 Lab scale 연속처리반응조의 장기운전 후 pilot plant 현장적용에 앞서 인공폐수와 합성폐수에서의 분해효율 비교 회분식 실험을 통해 합성폐수내 생물학적 분해에 영향을 미치는 inhibitor의 영향을 확인하였으며, 미생물의 배양 조건에 따른 분해효율 비교 회분식 실험과 modeling을 통하여 현장운영 효율을 예측하였다. 이를 반영하여 추후 진행예정인 pilot plant의 현장 적용성 검토 및 최적 설계인자 도출, 장기운전에서의 효율성 증대를 목적으로 한다.

The spent petroleum catalysts contain rare metals such as vanadium, nickel, molybdenum, and cobalt. Therefore, the leaching of these rare metals from spent petroleum catalysts by organic acid was investigated in the present study. The leaching efficiency of metals by organic acid was in the following order: oxalic acid > tartaric acid > citric acid > maleic acid > ascorbic acid. Among the organic acids employed in this work, oxalic acid can be considered to be superior to the other acids in terms of metals leaching efficiency. The effect of several leaching conditions such as temperature, acid concentration, pulp density, stirring speed, and reaction time on the leaching of metals was investigated. Vanadium and molybdenum were selectively dissolved by oxalic acid from the spent catalysts. The leaching kinetics of vanadium by oxalic acid was also investigated. An activation energy of 8.76 kJ/mol indicated that the leaching kinetics of vanadium by oxalic acid solution was controlled by mass transfer.

$(Ba_{0.8-x}Sr_{0.2})Y_xTiO_3\;(BSYT)$ powders were prepared by the calcination of metal-oxalate precipitates, which were obtained by wet chemical method using Ba, Sr, Y and Ti-nitrates and oxalic acid. Yttrium content, sintering temperature and cooling rate were taken as experimental factors. Response surface method was applied to modelling of the room temperature resistivity of BSYT. The results indicated that the Yttrium content had larger effect on the room temperature resistivity and minimum room temperature resistivity was at Yttrium content of 0.24 mol%. The validity of a modelling equation was confirmed by comparing the measured room temperature resistivity with the calculated one.
