For the production of diglyceride (DG) containing medium chain fatty acid, which could be utilized as a substrate to structured lipid production, monoglyceride (MG) and caprylic acid were reacted in the presence of lipase. The reaction system was well mixed homogeneously without using any organic solvent. Among the lipases investigated, Lipozyme RM IM and Novozym 435 were selected on the basis of equilibrium DG yields from the medium chain fatty acid and MG. And reaction conditions such as addition of molecular sieve, water content of immobilized lipase, reaction temperature, and mole ratio of MG/caprylic acid are optimized to increase DG production by using Lipozyme RM IM. DG content of reaction mixture showed 8% increase by adding molecular sieve to reaction mixture. Removal of water from the immobilized lipase could affect seriously equilibrium content of DG. More than 2.8%(w/w) removal of water from the support could make 44% of DG. Optimum temperature was found to $60^{\circ}C$. Temperature shift from $60^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$ resulted in increase of free fatty acid (FFA) content. The equilibrium DG yield was not seriously affected by on MG/caprylic acid molar ratio. However, at the stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 the highest DG yield was obtained. Increasing MG/caprylic acid ratio from 0.3 to 1.8 decreased FFA content from 34% to 13%, while MG content increased from 27% to 50%.

Toluene of aromatic compounds, MEK of ketones and IPA of alcohols were extremely used as VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) on the getting into step with industrial process. The adsorption characteristics of three component solvent vapors (Toluene-MEK-IPA) on the activated carbonaceous adsorbents such as AC, ACF and AC+ACF were investigated in a stainless steel fixed bed adsorption experimental apparatus in order to identify those carbons for eliminating and recovering solvent vapors from industrial emission sources. The used activated carbonaceous adsorbents were pelletized commercial activated carbon and activated carbon fiber. The breakthrough curves and adsorption capacity have been obtained at atmospheric pressure in a adsorption fixed bed. It has been found that non-polar and larger molecules have been adsorbed better than polar and smaller molecules. Especially, alcohols and ketones were poorly adsorbed due to competitive adsorbability in ternary mixture system. However, it could be overcome by employment of activated carbonaceous adsorbent which have different porosity distribution appropriately.

The waste solution discharged from the LCD manufacturing process contains acids like nitric, acetic and phosphoric acid and metal ions such as Al, Mo and other impurities. It is important to removal of impurities to tess than 1ppm in phosphoric acid to reuse as an etchant because the residual impurities even in sub-ppm concentration in semiconductor materials play a major role on the electronic properties. In this study, we have been clearly established that a mixed system of solvent extraction, diffusion dialysis and ion-exchange technique, which made individually the most of characteristics is developed to commercialize in an efficient system for recovering the high-purity phosphoric acid. By applying vacuum evaporation, the yield of the process are almost 99% removal of nitric acid and acetic acid was achieved. And by applying the solvent extraction method with tri-octyl phosphate(TOP) as an extractant, the removal of acetic and nitric acid from the acid mixture was achieved effectively at the ratio O/A=1/3 with four stages and the stripping of nitric acid from organic phase is attained at a ration of O/A=1 with six stages by distilled water. About 97% and 76% removal of Al and Mo were achieved by diffusion dialysis. Essentially complete less than 1ppm removal of Al, Mo by using ion exchange ion resin and purification of the phosphoric acid was obtain.

Purpose: In this study, the risk of flammability of a liquid mixture was experimentally confirmed because the purpose of this study was to confirm the increase or decrease of the flammability risk in a mixture of two substances (combustible+combustible) and to present the risk of the mixture. Method: Flash point test method and result processing were tested based on KS M 2010-2008, a tag sealing test method used as a flash point test method for crude oil and petroleum products. The manufacturer of the equipment used in this experiment was Japan's TANAKA. The flash point was measured with a test equipment that satisfies the test standards of KS M 2010 with equipment produced by the company, and LP gas was used as the ignition source and water as the cooling water. In addition, when measuring the flash point, the temperature of the cooling water was tested using cooling water of about 2℃. Results: First of all, in the case of flammable + combustible mixtures, there was little change in flash point if the flash point difference between the two substances was not large, and if the flash point difference between the two substances was low, the flash point tended to increase as the number of substances with high flash point increased. However, in the case of toluene and methanol, the flash point of the mixture was lower than that of the material with a lower flash point. Also, in the case of a paint thinner, it was not easy to predict the flash point of the material because it was composed of a mixture, but as a result of experimental measurement, it was measured between -24℃ and 7℃. Conclusion: The results of this study are to determine the risk of mixtures through experimental studies on flammable mixtures for the purpose of securing the effectiveness of the details of the criteria for determining dangerous goods in the existing dangerous goods safety management method and securing the reliability and reproducibility of the determination of dangerous goods Criteria have been presented, and reference data on experimental criteria for flammable liquids that are regulated in firefighting sites can be provided. In addition, if this study accumulates know-how on differences in test methods, it is expected that it can be used as a basis for research on risk assessment of dangerous goods and as a basis for research on dangerous goods determination.

As important intermediates for blue emitting materials of organic light-emitting diodes, bromotriphenylethylene derivatives for distrylarylenes are prepared by reactions of bromobenzophenone with benzylphosphonates. The reaction produces a 60 : 40 mixture of (Z)- and (E)-geometric isomers that are difficult to be resolved. The (Z)-isomer is successfully isolated by a selective recrystallization process using 2-propanol as a solvent. The X-ray structure analysis of (Z)-isomer shows that dihedral angles between tert-butylphenyl ring and bromophenyl ring and between bromophenyl ring and phenyl ring are $56.5(4)^{\circ}$ and $74.1(4)^{\circ}$, respectively.

ZnSe and ZnS:Mn nanocrystals were synthesized via the thermal decomposition of their corresponding organometallic precursors in a hot coordinating solvent (TOP/TOPO) mixture. The organic surface capping agents were substituted with EDTA molecules to impart hydrophilic surface properties to the resulting nanocrystals. The optical properties of the water-dispersible nanocrystals were analyzed by UV-visible and room temperature solution photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The solution PL spectra revealed emission peaks at 390 (ZnSe-EDTA) and 597 (ZnS:Mn-EDTA) nm with PL efficiencies of 4.0 (former) and 2.4% (latter), respectively. Two-photon spectra were obtained by fixing the excitation light source wavelengths at 616 nm (ZnSe-EDTA) and 560 nm (ZnS:Mn-EDTA). The emission peaks appeared at the same positions to that of the PL spectra but with lower peak intensity. In addition, the morphology and sizes of the nanocrystals were estimated from the corresponding HR-TEM images. The measured average particle sizes were 5.4 nm (ZnSe-EDTA) with a standard deviation of 1.2 nm, and 4.7 nm (ZnS:Mn-EDTA) with a standard deviation of 0.8 nm, respectively.

Lipid extraction preceding fatty acid methyl esters preparation for gas-liquid chromatography is time-consuming and cumbersome. We performed one-step extraction/methylation method with a mixture of methanol-heptane-benzene-DMP-H$_2$SO$_4$ without prior fat extraction. The simultaneous digestion and lipid transmethylation takes place at 8$0^{\circ}C$ in a single phase. After cooling till room temperature, two phases are formed. The upper one of the phases contains the fatty acid methyl esters ready for GLC. The fatty acid composition of major industrial crops obtained by the one step extraction/methylation method (method 1 and 2) was almost identical with the fatty acid composition of the pure fats extracted with hexane by the Soxtec instrument (method 3). Due to its simplicity, speed, and reduced organic solvent the one-step extraction/methylation method (method 1 and 2) should be useful to determine overall fatty acid composition, especially in situations where many samples have to be analyzed.

Organic by-products derived from cellulose and lignin during organosolv pretreatments of yellow poplar wood (Liriodendron tulipifera) in the presence of $H_2SO_4$ and NaOH as catalysts, respectively, were subjected to various analyses to elucidate their effects on further performance of biological ethanol fermentation and provide preliminary data for the structure and utilization of organosolv lignin. Monomeric sugars amounted to ca. 2.2-7.7% in the organosoluble fraction of the organosolv pretreatment with $H_2SO_4$, while significantly low amount of sugars (0.2-0.3%) were determined in that of the organosolv pretreatment with NaOH. In case of addition of $H_2SO_4$ during organosolv pretreatment of biomass, a fermentation of the organosoluble fraction could be considered as an essential process to increase an efficiency of biomass utilization as well as yield of bioethanol. Precipitates, insoluble by-products in the solvent mixture, were also cficiency oed by diverse analytical methods and revealed that these were typically composed of a lignin moiety regardless of catalyst. According to the results of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier Tcinsform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Gel permeation chromatograp r (GPC), the main components of precipitates seem to be lignin polymers. However, their structures could be slightly modified during pretreatment and mixed with some carbohydrates by chemical bonds and/or physical associations.

Volatile flavor components, produced during the young (P-1), immature (P-2), mature (P-3) and old (P-4) growth stages, of shiitake mushrooms (Lentinus edodes), were extracted by simultaneous steam distillation and extraction (SDE), using a mixture of n-pentane and diethyl ether (1:1, v/v) as the extraction solvent. Analyses of the concentrates, by capillary gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), led to the identification of 129, 129, 111 and 120 components in the P-1, 2, 3 and 4 stages, respectively. The major volatile compounds were l-octen-3-o1, 3-octanol, 3-octanone and 4-octen-3-one. Ethanol and ethyl acetate were also detected in large amounts. The characteristic volatile compounds found in shiitake mushrooms, such as dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide and 1, 2, 4-thiolane, were at low concentrations in all samples. The amount of l-octen-3-o1 decreased as growth progressed, but concentrations of 3-octanone increased. The amount of 4-octen-3-ol decreased from P-1 to P-3, but was at a high concentrations in P-4. The concentration of 3-octanol gradually increased and reached its highest concentration in P-3, but decreased in P-4. The C8-compounds comprised 70.91, 64.09, 64.29 and 60.01 % in the P-1, 2, 3 and 4 stages, respectively, so decreased gradually with growth. The S-compounds were found in the highest concentrations in P-3.

Inhibitory mechanism of colored rice bran against cellular genotoxicity induced by chemical mutagen was studied using organic solvent extracts from a colored rice cultivar termed as Suwon415, and the mutagen, mitomycin C. Inhibitory effects of 70% ethanol extact and chloroform fraction from rice bran of Suwon415 were higher than those from Chuchung used as control. However, antioxidative activities of each fraction from Suwon415 were slightly lower than those from Chuchung, suggesting the involvement of a different inhibitory mechanism not related to antioxidation pathway. Using E. coli as the indicator cell, inhibitory mechanism of rice bran extract from colored rice against mutagenicity induced by mitomycin C was investigated to reveal the possibility that it acts in a desmutagenic manner. Further investigation to quantify the free mitomycin C in reaction mixture following incubation with rice bran extract demonstrated that rice bran extract might inhibit the cellular genotoxicity of mitomycin C by direct adsorption of the mutagen.
