In the recycle process of organic solvent, the atmospheric oxygen can cause autoxidation and product peroxide. The time-saving method to evaluate the hazards has been required. In this study, oxygen pressure monitoring experiment was proposed as a new method to evaluate autoxidative resistances of solvents. Some of organic solvents were pressurized by oxygen and kept under isothermal condition. At the same time, the pressure in the vessel tracked. Iodometrical titration, thermal analysis and spectroscopic analysis were performed to measure peroxide concentration, the heat of reaction and chemical bonding change. From the results that THF has larger oxygen consumption rate than CPME, it is considered that autoxidative resistance of THF is lower than that of CPME. This method enables to obtain results in shorter time than other methods. These experimental results were consistent with the previous research with longer test durations [1-2].

The thermal degradation of poly (${\alpha}$-methyl styrene) in several mixed solvents (toluene-n-butylalcohol, toluene-sec-butylalcohol, toluene-kerosene, toluene-methyl ethyl ketone) without hydroquinone, and in with the addition of the hydroquinone, was studied at temps. of $165^{\circ}{\sim}205^{\circ}C$. The velocity constant of degradation (k), and the activation energy (E) were calculated for each solvent. As results, k decreased with the increase of the volume-fraction of poor solvent in both systems, whereas E either showed no perceptible change or it increased with the volume-fraction of poor solvents. these results were discussed.

Owing to the growing interest in the production of fuels and chemicals from biomass the well-know butanol-acetone fermentation as carried out by Clostridium acetobutylicum has been intensely studied again in recent years. Several solvent-yielding fermentation processes were established which are operated by using batch cultures or continuous cultures. 1 could be shown that under conditions of phosphate limitation an asporogenous mutant of C. acetobutylicum establishes itself in a chemostat which produces the solvents continuously. Attempts have been made to change the butanol/acetone ratio in favor of butanol production. A corresponding shift of the product spectrum can be achieved by carbon monoxide addition to the head space of the fermentation (B.H. Kim et al., App. Envioron. Microbiol. 48, 764-770 1984) or by iron limitation. Progress has been made in understanding the mechanism underlying the shift from acid to solvent prodcction. Experimental results are in agreement with the view that intracellular accumulation of acetic and butyric acid results in a shortage of phosphate and coenzyme A. This shortage may serve then as signal for the synthesis of the enzymes involved in the formation of acetone and butanol.

Rate of solvolysis of dansyl chloride in aqueous binary mixtures of acetone, methanol and ethanol are reported. Kinetic solvent isotope effects in methanol and product selectivities in alcohol-water mixtures are also reported. Kinetic data are interpreted with the Grunwald-Winstein and Kivinen equations. The value of $k_{CH3OH}/k_{CH3OD}=1.76$ suggests that a general have catalyzed and/or an $S_AN$ pathway is operative in methanol, a less polar solvent. Rate-rate profiles for solvolysis of dansyl chloride in the aqueous binary media indicate a change in reaction channel from $S_AN$ (in less polar media) to $S_N2$ (in more polar media) mechanism.

Solvolyses of phenyl chlorothionoformate in water, D2O, CH3OD, 50% D2O-CH3OD, and in aqueous binary mixtures of acetone, ethanol and methanol are investigated at 25.0℃. The Grunwald-Winstein plots of firstorder rate constants for phenyl chlorothionoformate with Ycl (based on 2-adamantyl chloride) show a dispersion phenomenon, and also the extended Grunwald-Winstein plots show a poor correlation for the solvolyses of phenyl chlorothionoformate. The ring parameter (I) has been shown to give considerable improvement when it is added as an hI term to the original and extended Grunwald-Winstein correlations. The dispersions in the Grunwald-Winstein correlations in the present studies are caused by the conjugation between the reaction center and the aromatic ring in the vicinity of the reaction center. This study has shown that the magnitude of l and m values associated with a change of solvent composition leads to predict the SN2 transition state. The kinetic solvent isotope effects determined in deuterated water and methanol are consistent with the proposed mechanism of the general base catalyzed SN2 mechanism.

A study on the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and low molecular weight (LMW) amount which is contained within bisphenol A polycarbonate (PC) was performed by the solvent extraction with ketone type solvents (acetone, butanone, pentanone). The LMW amount of untreated PC was 2.6 wt%, but the values of treated samples with acetone and pentanone were 0.96 and 1.53 wt%, respectively. Acetone is a more effective solvent than pentanone on the LMW extraction. Methylene chloride (MC) and toluene were certified and quantified by GC-Mass experiments, and the quantitative results indicated the fact that the pentanone was the effective solvent on VOC extraction. Focused on the change of VOCs and LMW amount, the use of co-solvent might be more useful, and the experimental results of co-solvent extraction showed that the optimum condition was 50 : 50 volume percent.

This study showed that the optimized cleaning process using non-aqueous cleaning solvents is adaptable in the industrial field for existing 1.1.1-TCE cleaning solvents which is an ozone depleting sustance. Alternative cleaning solvent system substituted for existing cleaning solvent against non-aqueous pollutants(cutting & flux oil), was evaluated for the cleaning efficiency using gravimetric analysis method and surface change of sample by Image analyzer. The results showed that alternative solvents and process had excellent cleaning efficiency.

From Raman spectra, the ${\nu}g$C=O frequencies of 4-substituted benzaldehydes were found to correlate with the ${\sigma}_p$ values of the 4-x atom or group as well as the acceptor number (AN) values of solvents. In various solvents, the ${\nu}g$C=O frequency of benzaldehyde decreased upon the increase of benzaldehyde concentration. This shift was mainly due to the hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl oxygen and/or aldehydic proton of benzaldehyde and the solvent molecules. Over the 1-80 volume % change, the ${\nu}g$C=O frequency of benzaldehyde down shifted from 1709.4 $cm^{-1}$ to 1700.2 $cm^{-1}$ in CCl4 solution and from 1703.0 $cm^{-1}$ to 1698.0 $cm^{-1}$ in $C_2H_5OH$ solution. This is due to the fact that hydrogen bonding between the benzaldehyde and C2H5OH was much stronger than that between the benzaldehyde and the other solvents.

Solvolyses of N-methyl-N-phenylcarbamoyl chlorides in aqueous binary mixtures of acetone, ethanol, methanol and in water, D2O, and 50% D2O-CH3OD are investigated at 25.0 $^{\circ}C.$ The Grunwald-Winstein plots of first-ord er rate constants for N-methyl-N-phenylcarbamoyl chlorides with YCl (based on 2-adamantyl chloride) show a dispersion phenomenon. The ring parameter (I) has been shown to give considerable improvement when it is added as an hI term to the original Grunwald-Winstein and extended Grunwald-Winstein correlations for the solvolyses of N-methyl-N-phenylcarbamoyl chlorides. This study has shown that the magnitude of l, m and h values associated with a change of solvent composition is able to predict the dissociative SN2 transition state. The kinetic solvent isotope effects determined in deuterated water are consistent with the proposed mechanism of the general base catalyzed and/or a dissociative SN2 mechanism channel for N-methyl-N-phenylcarbamoyl chlorides solvolyses.

The most effective solvent for extract of dye from amur cork tree was methanol. Two protoberberine alkaloids, berberine and palmatine, were isolated from amur cork tree by Prep-TLC, and the developing solvent was Benzene : AcOEt ; PrOH ; MeOH ; EtNH$_2$(8: 4: 2: 0.5: 0.5). Dyes were stable at a high temperature and there wasn't any change of color at pH 3~9 and with added metal mordants. In adsorption spectra of aqueous solution of berberine and tannin mixture, two isosbestic points$(328^{nm},\;357^{nm})$ were found and the mole fraction of reaction of components was 1:1.
