Solvent extraction experiments were performed to separate platinum and rhodium from mixed chloride solution by using tri 2-ethylhexyl amine (TEHA) and its mixture with TBP and LIX 63. Effects of extraction conditions on the separation of the two metals were investigated as a function of extractant concentration in the HCl concentration range from 1 to 9 M. The concentration of Pt (IV) and Rh(III) was controlled to $1{\times}10^{-3}M$ and $2{\times}10^{-4}M$, respectively. In the extraction with TEHA and its mixture, Pt was quantitatively extracted irrespective of HCl concentration, while the extraction percentage of Rh depended on the extraction condition. When the concentration of HCl in the mixed solution was low, the extraction of Rh was nil and separation of Pt and Rh was possible. Adding TBP to TEHA had little effect on the extraction of both metals, while adding LIX63 to TEHA favored the extraction of Rh.

An ecofriendly catalytic route for selective synthesis of $N$-substituted azacyclopentanes, nitrogen-containing heterocyclic intermediates for many bioactive compounds, was established by carrying out $N$-heterocyclization (di $N$-alkylation) of primary amines with 1,4-dichloro butane (as dialkylating agent) using catalytic amount of hydrotalcite as solid base catalyst. The hydrotalcite was found to be efficient solid base catalyst for di $N$-alkylation of different primary amines (aniline, benzyl amine, cyclohexyl amine and n-butyl amine) giving 82 to 96% conversion (at optimized reaction condition) of 1,4-dichloro butane and > 99% selectivity of respective $N$-substituted azacyclopentanes within 30 min. under solvent free condition. The reaction parameters significantly influence the conversion of 1,4-dichloro butane to $N$-substituted azacyclopentanes. The nature of substituent present on amino group affects the reactivity of amine substrates for di $N$-alkylation reaction with 1,4-dichloro butane. The 1,4-dichloro butane was found to be highly reactive alkylating agent for di $N$-alkylation of amines as compared to 1,4-dihydroxy butane. The reusability of the catalyst and its chemical stability in the reaction was demonstrated.

The rate constants of the nucleophilic addition reaction of amines (piperidine and diethylamine) to phenylvinylketone in various solvents have been determined by UV spectrophotometry at $25^{\circ}C$. On the basis of the high sensitivity of the rate to the polarity of the medium, it may be concluded that the reaction intermediate has zwitterionic character. The effect of the solvents on the rate of the bimolecular nucleophilic addition reaction is described well by the Kirkwood equation: The transition state of the reaction has a cyclic structure formed through an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The addition reaction of primary and secondary amines to phenylvinylketone in all solvents take place considerably faster than that of tertiary amine and this results also can be explained by the intermediate products in the reaction have a cyclic structure formed through an intramolecular hydrogen bond for the primary and secondary amines but not for the tertiary amine.

We demonstrate a facile and robust layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly method for the fabrication of nonvolatile resistive switching memory (NRSM) devices based on superparamagnetic nanocomposite multilayers, which allows the highly enhanced magnetic and resistive switching memory properties as well as the dense and homogeneous adsorption of nanoparticles, via nucleophilic substitution reaction (NSR) in nonpolar solvent. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MP) of about size 12 nm (or 7 nm) synthesized with oleic acid (OA) in nonpolar solvent could be converted into 2-bromo-2-methylpropionic acid (BMPA)-stabilized iron oxide nanoparticles (BMPA-MP) by stabilizer exchange without change of solvent polarity. In addition, bromo groups of BMPA-MP could be connected with highly branched amine groups of poly (amidoamine) dendrimer (PAMA) in ethanol by NSR of between bromo and amine groups. Based on these results, nanocomposite multilayers using LbL assembly could be fabricated in nonpolar solvent by NSR of between BMPA-MP and PAMA without any additional phase transfer of MP for conventional LbL assembly. These resulting superparamagnetic multilayers displayed highly improved magnetic and resistive switching memory properties in comparison with those of multilayers based on water-dispersible MP. Furthermore, NRSM devices, which were fabricated by LbL assembly method under atmospheric conditions, exhibited the outstanding performances such as long-term stability, fast switching speed and high ON/OFF ratio comparable to that of conventional inorganic NRSM devices produced by vacuum deposition.

A few t-amine substituted anilines and amides were synthesized and cyclized to pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole by heating in various solvents having different polarity. Subsequent nitration of cyclized compound followed by reduction and oxidation of resulting amine afforded quinone such as 7 in 14% yield. The formation of imidazole moiety by thermal cyclization was independent on the solvent polarity. The regiochemistry for the nitration of 4 was unambiguously determined by chemical transformation.

Simulation works for comparing removal capabilities of acid gases contained in natural gas among several aqueous amine absorbents using commercial process simulator PROMAX(BR&E Co.) were carried out. Amine aqueous solution used in this study were 30 wt% MEA, 30 wt% DEA, 50 wt% MDEA, and 50 wt% MDEA with 3 wt% piperazine as additive. We obtained the simulated results that while MEA aqueous solution is relatively capable of more $CO_2$ gas, but DEA, MDEA, MDEA aqueous solutions with piperazine as additive are capable of more $H_2S$ gas. Also, we found that 30 wt% MDA aqueous solution is the smallest circulate rate of lean amine solution, and 50 wt% MDEA aqueous solution with 3 wt% piperazine as additive is the smallest heat duty in stripping unit. 50 wt% MDEA aqueous solution with 3 wt% piperazine as additive is found less amine circulation rate than 50 wt% MDEA due to the introduction of additive.

A process design was performed for a removal of acid gases using membrane-absorption hybrid system in LNG-FPSO. Commercial process simulator Promax version 4.0 was utilized for comparing acid gases removal capabilities of amine absorption process and hybrid process. Simulation results show hybrid process could be small amine solvent circulate rate, energy consumption, equipment sizing compared to typical amine absorption process. As a result, hybrid process which is small footprint and energy saving process may be a good solution for the pre-treatment of natural gas in LNG-FPSO.

An efficient access, single step and environmentally benign synthesis of a new series of pyrazole containing isoxazolines derivatives were prepared by the condensation of chalcones bearing pyrazole moiety with hydroxyl amine hydrochloride in basic condition by using polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG) as a greener reaction solvent. The advantages of the present methodology are mild reaction condition and avoidance of volatile organic solvent. Furthermore, these newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity against various pathogens like Escherichia coli (MTCC 2939), Salmonella typhi (MTCC 98), Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 96), Bacillus subtilis (MTCC 441), Aspergillus niger (MTCC 281), Aspergillus flavus (MTCC 2501), Penicillium chrsogenum (MTCC 160) and Fusarium moniliformae (MTCC 156). Especially compound containing the hydroxyl group in C2-position and presence of halo (I, Br and Cl) groups as substituents at $C_3$ and $C_5$ position on the benzene nucleus showed the higher activity. Furthermore, compounds bearing methyl groups in combination with I and Br which enhanced the activity.

An extractive fermentation process was developed to produce citric acid from g1ucose. Citric acid is a strong inhibitor to this fermentation. A mixture of tertiary amine and oleyl alcohol was used to selectively extract citric acid from the fermentation broth, hence enhancing the productivity by over 200%. Although the toxicity of the solvent was significant in the range of higher than 30% of amine, immobilization in polyurethane foam was useful to protect the cells from the toxicity of the solvent.
