ZSM-5 membrane was prepared on tubular macroporous ${\alpha}$-alumina support using a different synthesis route. The effects of organic template agent and Si/Al ratio of the synthesis gel on morphology, structure, and separation performance of the ZSM-5 membrane used for dehydration of isopropanol were investigated. High water perm-selectivity ZSM-5 membrane with a thickness of about $3.0{\mu}m$ and a low Si/Al ratio of 10.1 was successfully prepared from organotemplate-free synthesis gel with a molar composition of $SiO_2$ : $0.050Al_2O_3$ : $0.21Na_2O$ : NaF : $51.6H_2O$ at $175^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The ZSM-5 membrane exhibited high pervaporation performance with a flux of $3.92kg/(m^2{\cdot}h)$ and corresponding separation factor of higher than 10,000 for dehydration of 90 wt.% isopropanol/water mixture at $75^{\circ}C$.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) containing certain amounts of H-${\beta}$ zeolite for pervaporation were manufactured by using a solution casting protocol. These zeolite-embedded membranes were then characterized with scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and swelling tests. The membrane separation performance has been examined by means of isopropanol (IPA) dewatering from its highly concentrated aqueous solutions via response surface methodology (RSM). The results have demonstrated that the influences of feed IPA composition (85-95 wt.%), feed temperature ($50-70^{\circ}C$), zeolite loading (15-25 wt.%) and their interactive influences are all statistically significant on both pervaporation flux ($398-1228g/m^2{\cdot}h$) and water/isopropanol separation factor (617-2001). The quadratic models based on the RSM analysis have performed excellently to correlate experimental data with very high determination coefficients and very low relative standard deviations. The optimal pervaporation predictions given by using the RSM models demonstrate a total flux of $953g/m^2{\cdot}h$ and separation factor of 1458, and are excellently verified by experimental results. As reflected by these results, PVA MMMs embedded with hydrophilic $H-{\beta}$ zeolite entities have performed considerably better than its pure counterpart and indicated great potential for isopropanol dehydration applications.

The apparent molal volumes ${\phi}_v$ of a series of homologous tetraalkylammonium chlorides, $Me_4NCl, Et_4NCl, Pr_4NCl,\;and\;Bu_4NCl$, in a series of isopropanol-water mixtures have been determined at $30^{\circ}C$ from precision density measurements using pycnometers. The values of ${\phi}_v$ extrapolated to infinite dilution give partial molal volumes $\={V}^{\circ}$s which are almost additive for successive homologues and enable one to determine the absolute individual ionic partial molal volumes. The experimental results are discussed in terrns of the varying size and surface charge of the ions and the structure of the binary solvent mixtures. The results indicate that at 0.1 mole fraction isopropanol the maximum structuredness of water causes a minimum in the tetraalkylammonium-cation partial molal volumes, while at 0.2 mole fraction the solvent structure is such that the free volumes is a minimum and the electrostrictive effect of chloride ion is a maximum.

Determination of partial molal volumes of anilinium chloride isopropanol-water mixtures at 30.00$^{\circ}$showed a distinct minimum at 0.20 mole fraction isopropanol. This was interpreted as maximum in electrostriction effect and minimum in water structure. The depth in $\bar{V}^{\circ}$for alcohol-water mixtures was in the order MeOH > i-PrOH > EtOH, which indicated the importance of microscopic structure around ions.

아민 수용액을 이용한 CO₂ 포집 공정의 문제점은 재생에 따른 높은 에너지 요구량이다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 디에틸렌트리아민(diethylenetriamine, DETA) 수용액에 이소프로판올(isopropanol, IPA)을 도입한 상분리 흡수제 적용에 따른 CO₂ 포집 특성을 고찰하였다. 20 wt% DETA 수용액에서 IPA 조성이 20 wt%를 이상이 되면 CO₂를 흡수함에 따라 흡수제의 상이 CO₂-농축상과 CO₂-희박상으로 액-액 분리된다. 그 이유는 CO₂와 DETA가 반응하여 형성된 염의 IPA에 대한 낮은 용해도 때문이다. DETA 수용액에서 IPA 조성이 증가하면 CO₂-희박상의 부피에 대한 CO₂-농축 상의 부피비가 증가하게 되고 이에 따라 CO₂-희박상에서의 CO₂ 농축 정도가 높아지게 된다. 20 wt% DETA + IPA + 물 흡수제를 이용하여 흡수탑에서 CO₂를 흡수한 결과 20 wt% DETA 수용액 흡수제에 비해 CO₂ 흡수능 및 흡수속도가 모두 높은 것으로 확인되었다. DETA + IPA + 물로 구성된 상분리 흡수제를 CO₂ 포집에 적용할 경우 상분리 따른 CO₂ 농축과 CO₂-농축상의 부피 감소에 따른 재생에너지 저감을 기대할 수 있다.

비대칭 폴리에테르이미드막을 상전이 방법으로 제조하였고, 표면층 개질에서 NaOH 농도의 영향과 그에 따른 물/이소프로판올 혼합물 투과증발 분리에 대하여 연구하였다. 실험결과, 개질 용액의 농도가 증가할수록 폴리에테르이미드의 이미드 그룹이 가수분해에 의해서 쉽게 폴리아믹산 구조로 변하여 치밀층의 두께가 증가하였다. 따라서 사용된 NaOH 농도가 증가할수록 전반적인 투과도는 감소하였고, 선택도는 증가하였다. 그러나 NaOH 용액의 농도가 너무 높은 경우, 선택도가 오히려 감소하고 투과도는 증가되었다. 이러한 결과로부터, 비대칭 폴리에테르이미드막의 투과거동이 NaOH 농도에 크게 의존한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, NaOH로부터 개질된 막들의 투과증발 운전온도가 증가할수록 투과도와 선택도가 모두 증가되었다.

Flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH) can utilize a variety of external electron acceptors and also has stricter substrate specificity than any other glucose oxidoreductases, which makes it the ideal diagnostic enzyme in the field of glucose biosensors. A gene coding for a hypothetical protein, similar to glucose oxidase and derived from Aspergillus terreus NIH2624, was overexpressed in Pichia pastoris GS115 under the control of an AOX1 promoter with a level of 260,000 U/l in the culture supernatant after fed-batch cultivation for 84 h. After a three-step purification protocol that included isopropanol precipitation, affinity chromatography, and a second isopropanol precipitation, recombinant FAD-GDH was purified with a recovery of 65%. This is the first time that isopropanol precipitation has been used to concentrate a fermentation supernatant and exchange buffers after affinity chromatography purification. The purified FAD-GDH exhibited a broad and diffuse band between 83 and 150 kDa. The recombinant FAD-GDH was stable across a wide pH range (3.5 to 9.0) with maximum activity at pH 7.5 and $55^{\circ}C$. In addition, it displayed very high thermal stability, with a half-life of 82 min at $60^{\circ}C$. These characteristics indicate that FAD-GDH will be useful in the field of glucose biosensors.

(R)-[3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] ethanol is a key chiral intermediate for the synthesis of aprepitant. In this paper, an efficient synthetic process for (R)-[3,5- bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] ethanol was developed via the asymmetric reduction of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone, catalyzed by Leifsonia xyli CCTCC M 2010241 cells using isopropanol as the co-substrate for cofactor recycling. Firstly, the substrate and product solubility and cell membrane permeability of biocatalysts were evaluated with different co-substrate additions into the reaction system, in which isopropanol manifested as the best hydrogen donor of coupled NADH regeneration during the bioreduction of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone. Subsequently, the optimization of parameters for the bioreduction were undertaken to improve the effectiveness of the process. The determined efficient reaction system contained 200mM of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone, 20% (v/v) of isopropanol, and 300 g/l of wet cells. The bioreduction was executed at $30^{\circ}C$ and 200 rpm for 30 h, and 91.8% of product yield with 99.9% of enantiometric excess (e.e.) was obtained. The established bioreduction reaction system could tolerate higher substrate concentrations of 3,5- bis(trifluoromethyl) acetophenone, and afforded a satisfactory yield and excellent product e.e. for the desired (R)-chiral alcohol, thus providing an alternative to the chemical synthesis of (R)-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] ethanol.

The relative viscosities ${\eta}_r$ of a series of homologous tetraalkylammonium chlorides $Me_4NCl,\;Et_4NCl,\;Pr_4NCl\;and\;Bu_4NCl$ in a series of isopropanol-water mixtures have been determined at $30^{\circ}C$ using Ubbelohde-type viscometers. The viscosity data have been interpreted in terms of viscosity A-and B-coefficients calculated from the Jones-Dole equation, ${\eta}_r=1+AC^{1/2}+BC$. The results indicate that the structure-breaking effect of chloride ion is maximum at 0.l~0.15 mole fraction isopropanol, while the size effect(Einstein effect) of the larger $R_4N^+$ ions is maximum at 0.2~0.25 mole fraction. The results also indicate that in aqueous and water-rich solutions the larger $R_4N^+$ ions (e.g. $Pr_4N+, Bu_4N^+$) appear to be excellent structure-formers and that the viscosities of solutions is not strongly affected by the electrostriction effect of chloride ion.

Hairdressers may be exposed to many chemicals from hair dye, permanent, shampoo, hair spray and so on. The study was conducted to evaluate occupational exposure to 8 chemicals (isopropanol, ethanol, xylene, toluene, ethylbenzene, acetone, ammonia and formaldehyde) for workers and levels of these materials in airborne of a hairdressing salon. Since compared to ACGIH TLVs these 8 chemicals were very low, it is thought that there has no problem to occupational exposure to these chemicals. Even if hairdressing salon is not enforced on Korean Standards for Indoor Air Quality, level of TOVC was thought to be below the standards. At the aspect of indoor air quality formaldehyde needs to be controlled in the future. The results imply that emission of isopropanol, ethanol, acetone and ammonia are related with hairdressing job, but emission of xylene, toluene and ehtylbenzene is more related with traditional indoor air pollution than hairdressing job. Sources of formaldehyde is thought to be little related with hairdressing job. HVAC system was a little effective on general ventilation.
