Cross-linked polystyrene supported aluminium triflate (Ps-Al(OTf)$_3$) was found to be an efficient and chemoselective heterogeneous Lewis acid catalyst for the direct conversion of arenes to sulfones using sulfonic acids as sulfonylating agents. The solid acid catalyst is stable (as a bench top catalyst) and can be easily recovered and reused without appreciable change in its efficiency.

Stable and non-hygroscopic polystyrene supported aluminium triflate (Ps-$Al(OTf)_3$), which is prepared easily from cheap and commercially available compounds was found to be an environmentally friendly heterogeneous catalyst for Friedel-Crafts acylation of arenes using acid chlorides in the absence of solvent under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst can be reused up to five times after simple washing with dichloromethane.

Solution polymerization behaviors of L-lactide using single and mixed aluminium catalyst systems were studied. Triisobutylaluminium (TIBA) was a reference catalyst for mixing. For the $Al(O-i-Pr)_3$/TIBA catalytic systems, the molecular weight of the resulting polylactide (PLA) decreased as the composition of $Al(O-i-Pr)_3$ increased. The higher molecular weight shoulder was revealed in their GPC curve. At TIBA of 80 mol% a bimodal GPC curve was shown. The conversion in the trimethylaluminium (TMA)/TIBA catalysts system decreased as the composition of TMA in the mixed catalyst increased. The conversion in the trioctylaluminium (TOA)/TIBA catalysts system decreased as the composition of TOA in the mixed catalyst increased. The unimodal molecular weight distribution was observed with the TOA/TIBA catalyst systems. The Al compounds-mixed catalyst could produce a higher molecular weight shoulder in the GPC curve.

This paper presents the results of catalytic endo- to exo- isomerization of saturated poly cyclic compound. Several zeolites were tested and influences of, Si/Al ratio and Structures of the zeolites on the reaction were investigated. The results showed that Y zeolites were more active than other zeolites, because of its large pore size and relative strong acidity. In all Y zeolites with different Si/Al, Y-5.4 is best. In all the zeolites tested, Y calcined at $450^{\circ}C$ was favorable. Still now the aluminium chloride catalyst is more active than zeolites. However, considering of environmental problems, corrosion, and treatment can make the zeolite catalyst substitute the aluminium chloride catalyst.

The effect of aluminium addition to MCM-41 on product yield and carbon number distribution was investigated in the catalytic cracking of a polymer mixture, LDPE, LLDPE, and EVA copolymer, with a composition similar to that found in real agricultural film wastes. Al-MCM-41 catalyst synthesized by post-synthetic grafting method (Al-MCM-41-P) as well as Al-MCM-41 catalyst synthesized by direct sol-gel (Al-MCM-41-D). The catalytic cracking of polymer mixture was carried out in vapor phase contact as well as in liquid phase contact. The amount of acid sites increased with aluminium addition by post method as well as direct method, which was seemed to be due to Lewis acid sites. In liquid phase catalytic cracking, the yield of light hydrocarbon fraction increased with aluminium addition. The effect of aluminium addition on production of $C_5-C_{12}$ hydrocarbons over Al-MCM-41-P catalysts was greater than that over Al-MCM-41-D catalysts. In the case of vapor phase catalytic cracking, the effect of aluminium addition was smaller than that of liquid phase catalytic cracking. The selectivity to $C_{13}-C_{32}$ hydrocarbons was smaller in vapor phase catalytic cracking.

The differences between single and mixed aluminium catalyst systems in the bulk polymerization of L-lactide were studied. $Al(O-i-Pr)_3$, TMA, TOA and TIBA were employed for the mixed-catalyst systems, and TIBA was chosen as a reference catalyst. For the $Al(O-i-Pr)_3$/TIBA catalyst system, the conversion of polymerization increased as the composition of $Al(O-i-Pr)_3$ in the mixed catalyst increased. The molecular weight of the resulting PLA reached to about 13000 g/mol, and the polydispersity index of the polymer from the $Al(O-i-Pr)_3$/TIBA catalyst was slightly increased than that of single catalyst. The higher molecular weight tail or shoulder was revealed in the GPC curve. The conversion of the TOA/TIBA catalyst system decreased as the composition of TOA in the mixed catalyst increased. The molecular weight of PLA prepared with TOA/TIBA catalysts increased up to 14000 g/mol. The Al compounds-mixed catalysts could produce a higher molecular weight tail or shoulder in the GPC curve, which may result in enhancement of mechanical properties of PLA.

This study was carried out to examine the effect of aluminium sulfate addition to the alkali-acid catalyst phenolic resin for the manufacture of the kapur (Dryobalanops spp.) plywood on the reduction of phenolic resin spreading. On the manufacture of plywood, Adhesive Contents such as 50g/$m^2$, 75g/$m^2$ and 150g/$m^2$ were treated. The spreading adhesive content of 50g/$m^2$ and 75g/$m^2$ had been controlled to about 150g/$m^2$ added with the water in order to get sufficient spreading and controlled to pH 4.5 with aluminium sulfate [$Al_2(SO_4)_3$]. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Specific gravities of air dried plywood manufactured from each adhesive ranged from 0.77 to 0.86 and their moisture contents met the KS requirements. 2. In dry and wet shear strengths, 150 $P_{Al{\cdot}Ac}$ adhesive showed the highest and 75 $P_{Al{\cdot}Ac{\cdot}Am}$ adhesive indicated higher value than 150 $P_{Al{\cdot}Ac}$ adhesive. 3. In case of glue shear strength after boiling test, 150 $P_{Al{\cdot}Ac}$ adhesive was the best and adding of aluminium sulfate was not effective on reinforcement of boiling water resistance of phenolic resin, but met KS requirements. 4. 75 $P_{Al{\cdot}Ac{\cdot}Am}$ adhesive showed the good shear strength and met KS requirements. Therefore, adding of aluminium sulfate was very efficient for economical plywood manufacture.

셀룰로스 직물은 easy care 성능을 부여하기 위하여 가교제로 처리된다. 현재 공업적으로 가장 많이 이용되고 있는 DMDHEU와 같은 N-methyol 가교제는 공정 중 또는 처리된 제품의 저장 중에 발암물질인 포름알데하이드를 유리시키는 경향이 있어 포름알데하이드를 유리시키지 않는 가교결합제의 개발이 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 이러한 비포르말린계 가교제 중 글리옥살은 그 성능은 매우 뛰어나지만 DP 처리시 사용되는 촉매인 aluminium sulfate는 처리직물의 강도저하와 황변을 일으키는 단점을 지니고 있다[1]. (중략)
