Background: Methyl alcohol poisoning in mobile phone-manufacturing factories during 2015-2016 was caused by methyl alcohol use for cleaning in computerized numerical control (CNC) processes. To determine whether there were health complications in other workers involved in similar processes, the Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute conducted a survey. Methods: We established a national active surveillance system by collaborating with the Ministry of Employment and Labor and National Health Insurance Service. Employment and national health insurance data were used. Overall, 12,048 employees of major domestic mobile phone companies and CNC process dispatch workers were surveyed from 2016 to 2017. We investigated methyl alcohol poisoning by using the national health insurance data. Questionnaires were used to investigate diseases due to methyl alcohol poisoning. Results: Overall, 24.9% of dispatched workers were employed in at least five companies, and 23.9% of dispatched workers had missing employment insurance history data. The prevalence of blindness including visual impairment, optic neuritis, visual disturbances, and alcohol toxicity in the study participants was higher than that reported in the national health insurance database (0.02%, 0.07%, 0.23%, and 0.03% versus 0.01%, 0.07%, 0.13%, and 0.01%, respectively, in 2015). Moreover, 430 suspicious workers were identified; 415 of these provided an address and phone number, of whom 48 responded (response rate, 11.6%). Among the 48 workers, 10 had diseases at the time of the survey, of whom 3 workers were believed to have diseases related to methyl alcohol exposure. Conclusion: This study revealed that active surveillance data can be used to assess health problems related to methyl alcohol poisoning in CNC processes and dispatch workers.

This study is an evaluation of growth-promoting effects of methyl and ethyl alcohol on Korean radish and cabbage in the soil. In an experiment as College of Education, Seoul National University, Silt loams, which are treated seven times with methyl and ethyl alcohol at rates from 0.5cc. to 2.5cc. per pot, definitely increase growth rate of radish and cabbage seedlings originating from sterilized seeds. A strong, stimulating effect on the growth of radish and cabbage seedlings is produced when a rate of 0.5cc. per pot of alcohol is applied to pot soils. The effect of methyl alcohol is stronger in fresh weight, dry weight, and average height of radish and cabbage than that of ethyl alcohol.

In this paper, five lignin model compounds (vanilly alcohol, veratryl alcohol, veratryl methyl carbinol, biseugenol) and three cellulose model compounds (${\alpha}$-D-glucos, methyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyra-noside, D-cellobiose) were used to study the degradation rates of lignin and cellulose with chlorine dioxide. Biseugenol, which has unsaturated structure on the side chain of aromatic ring, was found to react with chlorine dioxide very quickly and consume large amount of chlorine dioxide. Phenolic structures, represented by veratryl alcohol and apocynol, react with chlorine dioxide much faster than nonphenolic structures represented by veratryl alcohol and veratryl methyl carbinol. The degradations of cellulose models were generally very slight, the corder of reaction rate being ${\alpha}$-D-glucose > D-cellobiose > methyl-${\alpha}$-D-glucopyranoside.

Dispersion polymerization of acrylamide was carried out in the media of methyl alcohol/$H_2O$ mixtures using hydroxypropyl cellulose and ammonium persulfate as steric stabilizer and initiator, respectively. The effects of concentrations of initiator and steric stabilizer, amount of monomer, polymerization temperature, methyl alcohol/$H_2O$ ratio, and purification of monomer and nitrogen purge on the particle size of the latices and molecular weight of the polymers were investigated. The average particle diameter increased with increasing concentration of initiator, water content in methyl alcohol/$H_2O$ media, and polymerization temperature, but decreased with monomer and stabilizer concentrations. The viscosity average molecular weight increased with increasing concentrations of monomer, steric stabilizer, and water content in dispersion media, but decreased with initiator concentration and polymerization temperature. The PAM polymers prepared with the purified monomer and the nitrogen purging before the reaction showed the highest molecular weight.

Methyl alcohol is one of the basic intermediates in the chemical industry and is also being used as a fuel additive and as a clean burning fuel. In this study, conversion of carbon dioxide to methyl alcohol was investigated using catalytic chemical methods. Ceramic monoliths (M) with $400cell/in^2$ were used as catalyst supports. Monolith-supported CuO-ZnO catalysts were prepared by wash-coat method. The prepared catalysts were characterized by using ICP analysis, TEM images and XRD patterns. The catalytic activity for carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methyl alcohol was investigated using a flow-type reactor under various reaction temperature, pressure and contact time. In the preparation of monolith-supported CuO-ZnO catalysts by wash-coat method, proper concentration of precursors solution was 25.7% (w/v). The mixed crystal of CuO and ZnO was well supported on monolith. And it was known that more CuO component may be supported than ZnO component. Conversion of carbon dioxide was increased with increasing reaction temperature, but methyl alcohol selectivity was decreased. Optimum reaction temperature was about $250^{\circ}C$ under 20 atm because of the reverse water gas shift reaction. Maximum yield of methyl alcohol over CuO-ZnO/M catalyst was 5.1 mol% at $250^{\circ}C$ and 20 atm.

Alkyl-glucoside의 생산을 위하여 상용화 cellulase인 Celluclast의 당전이 반응을 사용하였다. 5가지 종류의 알코올을 acceptor molecule로 하여 반응을 살펴본 결과 methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropanol 그리고 butanol에서 당전이 반응이 일어남을 확인하였다. 반응 수율이 높았던, methyl alcohol과 ethyl alcohol의 반응산물을 MALDI-TOF MS와 효소적인 방법을 사용하여 각각의 산물이 methyl ${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside와 ethyl ${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside임을 확인하였다. 시간대별 methyl-glucoside와 ethyl-glucoside의 생산량을 비교하여 본 결과 9시간에서 최대 생산 수율 65% (mol/mol)와 59%(mol/mol)를 각각 보였으며, 이후 반응은 진행되지 않았다. Cellulose의 당전이 반응으로 생성된 부산물인 glucose를 제거하기 위하여 고정화 효모 system을 도입하였고, 그 결과 glucose를 모두 제거할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과에서 Celluclast를 이용한 alkyl-glucoside의 생산을 성공적으로 수행하였고, 고정화 효모 system을 도입하여 친환경적으로 부산물을 제거하여 고순도의 ethyl-glucoside를 생산하였다.
