  • (S)-Alanine Racemase Chiral Analogue ((S)-ARCA) was used as an efficient adsorbent for the selective separation of D-amino acids (D-AAs), which are industrially important as chiral building blocks for the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates. The organic phase, containing (S)-ARCA adsorbent and phase transfer reagents, such as ionic liquid type molecules (Tetraphenylphosphonium chloride (TPPC), Octyltriphenylphosponium bromide (OTPPBr)), were coated on the surfaces of mesoporous carbon supports. For the immobilization of chiral adsorbents, meso/macroporous monolithic carbon (MMC), having bimodal pore structures with high surface areas and pore volumes, were fabricated. The separation of chiral AAs by adsorption onto the heterogeneous (S)-ARCA was performed using a continuous flow type packed bed reactor system. The effects of loading amount of ARCA on the support, the molar ratio of AA to ARCA, flow rates, and the type of phase transfer reagent (PTR) on the isolation yields and the optical purity of product D-AAs were investigated. D-AAs were selectively combined to (S)-ARCA through imine formation reaction in an aqueous basic solution of racemic D/L-AA. The (S)-ARCA coated MMC support showed a high selectivity, up to 95 ee%, for the separation of D-type phenylalanine, serine and tryptophan from racemic mixtures. The ionic liquids TPPC and OTPPBr exhibited superior properties to those of the ionic surfactant Cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), as a PTR, showing constant optical purities of 95 ee%, with high isolation yields for five repeated reuses. The unique separation properties in this heterogeneous adsorption system should provide for an expansion of the applications of porous materials for commercial processes.

  • 금속산화물이 담지된 허니컴 형상의 플라즈마-촉매 반응기를 이용하여 아이소프로필 알코올(isopropyl alcohol, IPA) 저감 및 부산물 생성 거동에 대해 조사하였다. 허니컴 형상의 다공질 세라믹 지지체(주성분: ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$)에 금속산화물로 산화철($Fe_2O_3$) 또는 산화구리(CuO)를 담지시킨 후, 이 촉매가 동축 원통형 전극구조 내부에 위치하도록 플라즈마-촉매 반응기를 구성하였다. 플라즈마 반응에 의한 IPA 분해속도가 매우 빨랐기 때문에 IPA 분해효율 자체는 금속산화물 담지 여부 및 금속산화물 종류에 관계없이 유사한 것으로 나타났으나, 부산물 생성거동은 촉매종류에 따라 큰 차이를 보여주었다. 아세톤, 폼알데하이드, 아세트알데하이드, 메테인, 일산화탄소 등의 유해 부산물 농도는 $Fe_2O_3/{\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ < $CuO/{\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ < ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ 순으로 높게 나타났다. 유량 $1L\;min^{-1}$, IPA 초기농도 5,000 ppm(산소: 10%), 방전전력 47 W의 조건에서 얻어진 $CO_2$ 선택도는 ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$, $CuO/{\alpha}-Al_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3/{\alpha}-Al_2O_3$에 대해 각각 40, 80, 95%로서 $Fe_2O_3/{\alpha}-Al_2O_3$가 플라즈마-촉매를 이용한 IPA의 산화에 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 플라즈마를 단독으로 사용하여 휘발성유기화합물을 분해할 경우 타르형태의 생성물이 반응기에 퇴적되는 문제점이 있으나, 플라즈마-촉매 공정에서는 이러한 현상이 관찰되지 않았으며 촉매의 활성이 그대로 유지되었다.
