For the treatment of reactive phenolic resin waste, a simulation model of pervaporative dehydration process has been developed through hollow fiber membrane module. Some of basic parameters were determined directly from dehydration of the waste liquid through a flat sheet membrane to get realistic values. The simulation model was verified by comparing the simulated values with experimental data obtained from hollow fiber membrane module. Hollow fiber membranes with active layer coated on inside fiber were used, and feed flew through inside hollow fiber. Feed flow rate affected membrane performances and reaction by providing a corresponding temperature distribution of feed along with fiber length. Feed temperature is also a crucial factor to determine dehydration and reaction behavior by two competing ways; increasing temperature increases permeation rate as well as water formation rate. Once the permeate pressure is well below the saturated vapor pressure of feed, permeate pressure had a slightly negative effect on permeation performance by slightly reducing driving force. As the pressure approached the vapor pressure of feed, dehydration performances declined considerably due to the activity ratio of feed and permeate.

Synthesis of butenes through dehydration of 2-butanol was investigated over HY zeolite catalysts. 2-Butanol dehydration reaction was carried out in a fixed bed catalytic reactor. 2-Butanol conversion was increased with increase of $Si/Al_2$ ratio of HY zeolite catalysts, which can be ascribed to increase of acid strength with increase of $Si/Al_2$ ratio. Selectivities to 1-butene, trans-2-butene, and cis-2-butene were not greatly influenced by the change of the $Si/Al_2$ ratio of HY zeolite. As a result, it was advantageous to use a HY zeolite catalyst with 60 $Si/Al_2$ ratio for maximizing the yield of 1-butene in the dehydration of 2-butanol. The optimal reaction temperature for maximizing the yield of 1-butene was $250^{\circ}C$ over HY (60) catalyst.

Conversion of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) was investigated in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solvent with increasing reaction temperatures and impact of residual water from dehydration reaction byproduct. To convert fructose to 5-HMF, increasing reaction temperature led more conversion to 5-HMF than lower temperature at the range of $120-150^{\circ}C$ in DMSO solvent. DMSO engaged in the acid-catalyzed dehydration and rearrangement reaction as acid and solvent. Increasing temperature led to more furanose structure than pyranose at the range of $30-80^{\circ}C$. Formed 5-HMF could be degraded to levulinic and formic acid at the presence of acid and water. Removal of water in reaction medium could prevent 5-HMF degradation.

A domestic phosphogypsum was calcined in a batch type fluidized bed reactor at various reaction temperatures ranging 90∼180$^{\circ}$ without and with an alkaline additive amounting up to 5% of gypsum, and physical properties of the resultant products were compared following their characterization by X-ray diffraction pattern and DTA. It has been found that dehydration reactions were uniformly carried out in the fluidized bed reactor and only hemihydrate was obtained at 90$^{\circ}$ whereas at higher temperatures dehydration reaction progressed further. When gypsum was charged to the reactor preheated at over 140$^{\circ}$, a considerable degree of dehydration occurred before the reactant reached the initially set reactor temperature and in particular, at over 160$^{\circ}$ most of dehydration reaction was performed prior to the present reactor temperature. However, it has been found that gypsum mostly transforms into hemihydrate around the reactant temperature of 140$^{\circ}$ while transformation into anhydrite mostly occurs around $160^{\circ}C.$ When calcium hydroxide was added to gypsum in the reactor, the optimum physical properties of the calcined product were obtained at the weight ratio of $Ca(OH_2)/P_2O_5$ = 3.2.

Abstract: A kinetic model was developed for the dehydration of ethanol to ethylene based on two parallel reaction pathways. Kinetic parameters were estimated by fitting experimental data of powder catalysts in a lab-scale test, and the effectiveness factor was determined using data from pellet-type catalysts in bench-scale experiments. The developed model was used to design a multitubular fixed-bed reactor (MTR) and an adiabatic reactor (AR) at a 10 ton per day scale. The two different reactor types resulted in different process configurations: the MTR consumed the ethanol completely and did not produce the reaction intermediate, diethyl ether (DEE), resulting in simple separation trains at the expense of high equipment cost for the reactor, whereas the AR required azeotropic distillation and cryogenic distillation to recycle the unreacted ethanol and to separate the undesired DEE, respectively. Quantitative analysis based on the equipment and annual energy costs showed that, despite high equipment cost of the reactor, the MTR process had the advantages of high productivity and simple separation trains, whereas the use of additional separation trains in the AR process increased both the total equipment cost and the annual energy cost per unit production rate.

This study was carried out to investigate the heat storage/release characteristics of the thermochemical reaction of the calcined dolomite with the packed bed shape experimental apparatus for development of chemical heat pump system. In the present study, it was found that MgO of the calcined dolomite was not hydrated during the hydration process under the experimental conditions. Therefore, the MgO of the calcined dolomite can be regard as an inert material. As a result, it was found that all of CaO packed kept the reaction temperature of about $510^{\circ}C$ through the entire part of the bed. The dehydration reaction was incurred first at the wall side area as the supplied heat was transferred through the wall side into the packed bed. As a result of the temperature and concentration spread, the reaction was completed at the wall side progressed into the center.

The Knoevenagel reaction of fluorinated carbonyl compounds, 1,1,1-trifluoro-propanone-2-heptafluoro-butyraldehyde, 1,3-dichloro-1,1,3,3-tetrafluoro-acetone, tetradecafluoro-heptanone-4 and 2,2,2-trifluoro-acetophenone yielded fluorinated ${\beta},{\beta}$-dialkyl-${\beta}$-hydroxy acids. Dehydration of the acids do not give the olefinic acid in the case of the perfluorinated system and gave a lactone. From the consideration of electronic and steric effects a mechanismic path of the reaction via a carbanion intermediate was proposed for the reaction. Preparation of related derivatives are also described.

Diffusion coefficients of moisture and solid, reaction rate constants of carotene destruction, and the fitness of drying models for moisture transfer were determined to study the characteristics of mass transfer during osmotic dehydration. Moisture loss and solid gain were increased with increase of temperature and concentration; temperature had higher osmotic effect than concentration. Diffusion coefficient showed similar trend with osmotic effect. Diffusion coefficients of solids were larger than those of moisture because the movement of solid was faster than that of moisture at the high temperature. Reaction rate constants were affected to the greater extent by concentration changes than by temperature changes. Arrhenius equation was applied to determine the effect of temperature on diffusion coefficients and reaction rate constants. Moisture diffusion required high activation energy in $20^{\circ}Brix$, while relatively low in $60^{\circ}Brix$. To predict the diffusion coefficients and reaction rate constants, a model was established by using the optimum functions of temperature and concentration. The model had high $R^2$ value when applied to diffusion coefficients, but low when applied to reaction rate constants. Quadratic drying model was most fittable to express moisture transfer during drying. In conclusion, moisture content of carrots could be predictable during the osmotic dehydration process, and thereby mass transfer characteristics could be determined by predicted moisture content and diffusion coefficient.

Fine powders of Mn-Zn ferrite were prepared by the alcoholic dehydration method and densification beha-vior of synthesized powder was investigated. The concentration and pH of solution for optimal precipitation was 0.4M and 2.5 respectively. The spinel single phase metastable state was formed by thermal decom-position of precipitate and then spinel phase was disintegrated into hematite and spinel {{{{ { { ZnFe}_{2 }O }_{4 } }} at 600$^{\circ}C$ With increase of temperature reaction of solid solution between hematite and spinel was proceeded and resulted in the spinel single phase (Mn, Zn Fe){{{{ { {Fe }_{2 }O }_{4 } }} On account of high reactivity of uncalcined powders densification started at 200$^{\circ}C$ lower and completed at 50$^{\circ}C$ lower in comparison with calcined powders.
