The approximate rates and stoichiometry of the reaction of excess lithium tripiperidinoaluminum hydride (LTPDA), an alicyclic aminoaluminum hydride, with selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups under the standardized conditions (tetrahydrofuran, 25°) were examined in order to define the reducing characteristics of the reagent for selective reductions. The reducing ability of LTPDA was also compared with those of the parent lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) and lithium tris(diethylamino)aluminum hydride (LTDEA), a representative aliphatic aminoaluminum hydride. In general, the reactivity of LTPDA toward organic functionalities is weaker than LTDEA and much weaker than LAH. LTPDA shows a unique reducing characteristics. Thus, benzyl alcohol, phenol and thiols evolve a quantitative amount of hydrogen rapidly. The rate of hydrogen evolution of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols is distinctive. LTPDA reduces aldehydes, ketones, esters, acid chlorides and epoxides readily to the corresponding alcohols. Quinones, such as p-benzoquinone and anthraquinone, are reduced to the corresponding diols without hydrogen evolution. Tertiary amides and nitriles are also reduced readily to the corresponding amines. The reagent reduces nitro compounds and azobenzene to the amine stages. Disulfides are reduced to thiols, and sulfoxides and sulfones are converted to sulfides. Additionally, the reagent appears to be a good partial reducing agent to convert primary carboxamides into the corresponding aldehydes.

Biosorption is considered to be an alternative method to replace the present adsorbent systems for the treatment of metal contaminated wastewater. In this study, by-product which was abandoned from brewing factory was used to remove metal component in aqueous solution. The experimental results showed that the range of the removal efficiency is 60~91% and adsorption equilibrium was reached in about 3 hr. FT-IR and stereo microscope has been used to observe the surface conditions and changes in functional groups by calcination. At the end of elution, the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus in water was increased 11 and 7 times compare raw sample to calcinated samples. The Langmuir isotherm adequately described the adsorption of waste materials and the maximum adsorption capacity was 28.17 mg/g for Cd. The overall results suggested that waste material might can be used for biosorption of Cd.

A simple heterogeneous system has been developed by using base treated manganese dioxide (B-$MnO_2$) for the aerobic oxidation of amines under mild reaction conditions of 1 atm of air and $50^{\circ}C$ in hexane. This system was highly efficient to oxidize various kinds of primary or secondary amines including aliphatic, aromatic, and hetero-atomic ones under the applied reaction conditions. Amines were oxidized to nitriles or diimines by the self-condensation or oxidative dehydrogenation through imine intermediate. The B-$MnO_2$ was reused for at least 5 times without any loss of its catalytic performance and showed its cost effectiveness, easy workup, and easy separation of the products for achieving the protocol of green chemistry.

PEG 600-diglycidyl ethers(PDE) were synthesized using $BF_3$ catalyst by the reaction of epichlorohydrin and PEG 600 which is known to have the hygroscopicity, softening property, and antistatic property. Water-soluble long chain polyamines(PDET) were synthesized by coreaction of PDE and triethylenetetramine which is high conductive aliphatic amine curing agent. To prevent the gelation of the PDET and increase the water-solution stability, water-soluble quaternary ammonium polyamines were synthesized by cationation of PDET with acetic acid. Antistatic agents PDET-2A, PDET-5A, PDET-6A, PDETA-2A and PDETA-4A were prepared by the mixing of PDET-2, PDET-5, PDET-6, PDETA-2 and PDETA-4 with water. Synthesized antistatic agents were treated on PET textiles with and without resin. Then surface electrical resistivity and half life characteristics value were tested. As the results there were no remarkable decreasing changes in antistatic abilities of the textiles treated with PDETA-2A and PDETA-4A after 50 times washing. So PDETA-2A and PDETA-4A were proved to be durable antistatic agents. Surface electrical resistivity of the textiles treated with PDETA-2A and PDETA-4A before washing were $1{\times}10^7{\Omega}$ and $2{\times}10^7{\Omega}$, respectively, and half life characteristics values were 0.8sec and 1.1sec, respectively. Therefore PDETA-2A and PDETA-4A were proved to be good antistatic agents.
