Liquid-phase methanol synthesis via methyl formate using coal-derived syngas was carried out in a bench-scale(diameter 173 mm and dispersion height 1200 mm) slurry bubble column reactor(SBCR) Under the condition of $180^{\circ}$. 61 atm, 30 L/min, $H_{2}$/CO=2 and a slurry mixture of 2 kg of copper chromite and 0.5 kg of $KOCH_{3}$ suspended in 14 L of methanol, the per pass conversions of syngas is 6 %, maximum concentration of methyl formate 3.088 mol% and maximum synthesis, rate of methanol 0.8 gmole/kg ${\cdot}$ hr. It is a significant evidence that copper chromite powder as heterogeneous catalyst didn't active for the hydrogenolysis of methyl formate to methanol, resulting copper chromite powder was not efficiently suspended in a slurry mixture. To enhance the hydrogenolysis of methyl formate in liquid-phase methanol synthesis process, the designed SBCR have need to use the higher specific gravity solvent and/or decrease the catalyst particle size.

We performed the tests of acute and subchronic inhalation toxicity of methyl formate, which has limited toxicological data in spite of its widespread use and enhanced hazard consequent on its high volatility. The median lethal concentration ($LC_{50}$) was evaluated to be above 5,000ppm(12.27 mg/L). In the test with subchronic inhalation, there are no deaths, but with reduction of body weight, food intake, organ weight by exposure to 400 (0.98 mg/L) and 1,600 (3.92 mg/L) ppm, dose-dependently. There were statistical differences in some hematological and blood biochemical parameters as compared to control (e.g. neutrophile and lymphocyte in the 1,600 ppm group, calcium and A/G in 1,600 ppm group). Methyl formate under the exposure of 1,600 ppm showed the respiratory findings with nasal, it was confirmed that the chemical has respiratory hazard with 1,600 ppm inhalation exposure, induces nasal epithelial atrophy, olfactory cell degeneration/regeneration and the contraction of olfactory cells, etc. According to the notification with Ministry of Labor (No. 2009-68) for classification, labeling and MSDS of chemicals, it is suggested for methyl formate to be classified as category 4 in acute (10.0$4\leq20.0$ mg/L), category 2 (0.2$\leq$1.0 mg/L/6h, 90 days) in specific target organ-repeated exposure.

Methyl과 ethyl formate의 초음파 흡수계수를 0.15-2 MHz의 주파수 범위, 온도 5-3$0^{\circ}C$에 걸쳐 1MHz 이하에서 정확한 초음파 흡수측정이 가능한 광 회절 초음파 공명법을 이용하여 측정하였다.그 결과, cisdhk trans 에 의한 초음파 완화 현상은 전형적인 단일 완화현상을 보였고, 그 스페트럼으로부터 완화주파수와 완화강도를 결정할 수 있었다. 완화 주파수와 완화강도의 온도 의존성으로부터 활성화 에너지(ΔH#)와 에너지 차(ΔH)를 구하였다. 측정된 methyl과 ethyl formate의 활성화 에너지는 각각 9.8과 8.9kcal/mol 이었고, 에너지 차는 각각 2.3 과 2.2kcal/mol로 나타났다

비조사 김치와 2.5, 5 및 10 kGy로 방사선 조사된 김치로부터 SDE 방법으로 추출한 휘발성 유기화합물을 분석하여 변화를 확인하였다. 김치의 주요 휘발성 유기화합물로 ethyl formate, ethyl acetate, ethanol, dimethyl disulfide, methyl 2-propenyl disulfide가 다량 함유되어 있었고, ethyl methyl disulfide, 4-cyano-1-butene, pentane dinitrile 등도 상당량 함유되어 있었다. Ethyl formate, ethyl acetate, ethanol은 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 상당량 증가하는 것으로 확인되었으며, dimethyl disulfide, ethyl methyl disulfide, methyl propyl disulfide, pentane dinitrile, S-methyl methyl thiosulfonate 등도 선량이 증가함에 따라 함량이 증가하였다. 1-Penten-3-ol은 조사선량에 따라 감소하였다.

Environmental conditions of fungal growth on Korean rice grain, Milyang No.23, were studied and optimum treatment conditions of the selected fumigants for controlling fungal deterioration of rice were investigated The results are as follows. 1. Most of the fungi grew well above 80% relative humidity and 19% moisture content within 10-30 days. But at 12.5-13.0% moisture content of grains, only Aspergillus candidus, Asperillus versicolor, Penicillium chrysogenum, and Trichothecium roseum were developed within 2 months. The other fungi were only detectable for their mycelial growth under microscopic observation. 2. Among the ten fumigants tested to control the fungal growth on the rice, ethylene oxide was found to be the most effective at a leve1 of 16 mg/$\ell$ for 48 hrs treatment and the next was methyl bromide (32 mg/$\ell$), acrilonitrile and methyl iodide (64 mg/$\ell$). The other fumigants, such as ammonia, methyl formate, ethyl formate, carbon dioxide and propionic acid were found less effective under the tested conditions.

Objectives: We investigated the genotoxicity of two chemicals, methyl formate and 2-methylbutane, using male ICR mice bone marrow cells for the screening of micronucleus induction. Although these two chemicals have already been tested numerous times, a micronucleus test has not been conducted and the amounts used have recently been increased. Methods: 7 week male ICR mice were tested at dosages of 250, 500, and 1,000 mg/kg for methyl formate and 500, 1,000, and 2,000 mg/kg for 2-methlybutane, respectively. After 24 hours of oral administration with the two chemicals, the mice were sacrificed and their bone marrow cells were prepared for smearing slides. Results: As a result of counting the micronucleated polychromatic erythrocyte (MNPCE) of 2,000 polychromatic erythrocytes, all treated groups expressed no statistically significant increase of MNPCE compared to the negative control group. There were no clinical signs related with the oral exposure of these two chemicals. Conclusion: It was concluded that the two chemicals did not induce micronucleus in the bone marrow cells of ICR mice, and there was no direct proportion with dosage. These results indicate that the two chemicals have no mutagenic potential under each study condition.

The gas-phase reactions of methyl formate with anions, $-NH_2,\;-OH,\;-CH_2CN$, are studied theoretically using the AM1 method. Stationary points are located by the reaction coordinate method, refined by the gradient norm minimization and characterized by the determination of Hessian matrix. Potential energy profiles and the stationary point structures are presented for all conceivable processes. Four reaction paths are found to be possible: formyl proton and methyl proton abstractions, carbonyl addition, and $S_N2$ process. For the most basic anion $-NH_2$ the proton abstraction path is favored, while in other case, $OH\;and\;-CH_2CN$, the carbonyl addition paths are favored. In all cases the $S_N2$ process is the most exothermic, but due to the relatively high activation barrier the process can be ruled out.

PURPOSE. This study evaluated the effect of chemical surface treatment using methyl formate-methyl acetate (MF-MA) solution on the tensile bond strength between acrylic denture teeth and auto-polymerized acrylic resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Seventy maxillary central incisor acrylic denture teeth for each of three different brands (Yamahachi New Ace; Major Dent; Cosmo HXL) were embedded with incisal edge downwards in auto-polymerized resin in polyethylene pipes and ground with silicone carbide paper on their ridge lap surfaces. The teeth of each brand were divided into seven groups (n=10): no surface treatment (control group), MF-MA solution at a ratio of 25:75 (v/v) for 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 120 seconds, 180 seconds, and MMA for 180 seconds. Auto-polymerized acrylic resin (Unifast Trad) was applied to the ground surface and polymerized in a pressure cooker. A tensile strength test was performed with a universal testing machine. Statistical analysis of the results was performed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc Dunnett T3 test (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. The surface treatment groups had significantly higher mean tensile bond strengths compared with the control group (P<.05) when compared within the same brand. Among the surface treatment groups of each brand, there were no significantly different tensile bond strengths between the MF-MA groups and the MMA 180 second group (P>.05), except for the Yamahachi New Ace MF-MA 180-second group (P<.05). CONCLUSION. 15-second MF-MA solution can be an alternative chemical surface treatment for repairing a denture base and rebonding acrylic denture teeth with auto-polymerized acrylic resin, for both conventional and cross-linked teeth.

$\beta$-ketohexanal as a chelating extractant was synthesized from the reaction of ethyl formate and methyl propyl ketone in the presence of sodium amide, and the equilibrium characteristics in the extraction of copper by $\beta$-ketohexanal-chloroform were investigated. The equilibrium constants such as the dissociation constant and the partition coefficients of $\beta$-ketohexanal, the stability constant and the partition coefficient of copper chelating complex, and the overall equilibrium constant in the extraction of copper were determined by spectrophotometric measurements, and the mechanism of extraction was proposed. The percent of extracted copper by $\beta$-ketohexanal-chloroform was near 100%, and the selective extraction of copper from Cu-Zn-Cd mixture was possible. Copper was found to be extracted as $CuR_2$ and the equilibrium reaction was expressed as $Cu^{2+}+2{\overline{HR}}{\rightleftarrows}{\overline{CuR{_2}}}+2H^+$.
