Clays coated with cationic surfactants (organoclays) have been investigated due to their effectiveness in sorbing organic compounds from water The objectives of this study were to (1) study the sorption characteristics or a cationic surfactant (HDTMA) to clay minerals; (2) examine the partitioning of HOC (naphthalene) to the adsorbed surfactants within the context of the first objective, and (3) develop overall HOC distribution coefficients that consider sorbed surfactant amounts. The sorption of hydrophobic organic contaminant was due to partitioning of the organics into the organic pseudophase created by the surfactant tail groups. Sorption of naphthalene by HDTMA-clays at different surfactant surface coverages revealed that the naphthalene K$\_$d/ values were affected by the surface concentration of surfactant. In our study the kaolinite was modified with a cationic surfactant to achieve different fractional organic carbon contents and different surfactant molecule configurations on the surface. All of the sorption isotherms were nearly linear and could be described by a distribution coefficient (K$\_$d/). The sorption of naphthalene by the surfactant-modified kaolinite was found to be dependent on the bound surfactant molecule configuration as well as on the fractional organic carbon content but halloysite was not affected by the increase of surfactant amounts. Results from this investigation provide additional insight into the role that sorbed surfactant structure plays in HOC partitioning.

The dihydroxy naphthalene/$TiO_2$ complexes with different substitution patterns were prepared by surface modification. X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the prepared composite materials. The results indicated that the surface modification did not influence the crystallization of $TiO_2$. The visible-light absorbances of prepared dihydroxy naphthalene/$TiO_2$ complexes could be assigned to the ligand-to-metal charge transfer. The obtained catalyst exhibited outstanding photocatalytic activity and stability under visible light. A linear relationship existed between the percentages of hydroxynaphthalenes coordinated on $TiO_2$ surface and $H_2$ production ability. The substitution pattern of dihydroxy naphthalene and $CH_3OH$ content could also influence the photocatalytic performance remarkably. The photocatalytic $H_2$ production ability was further improved after loading with ultra low concentration of Pt, 0.02 wt %. The possible mechanism was proposed.

The effect of sublimable vehicle composition in the camphor-naphthalene system on the pore structure of porous Cu-Ni alloy is investigated. The CuO-NiO mixed slurries with hypoeutectic, eutectic and hypereutectic compositions are frozen into a mold at $-25^{\circ}C$. Pores are generated by sublimation of the vehicles at room temperature. After hydrogen reduction at $300^{\circ}C$ and sintering at $850^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, the green body of CuO-NiO is completely converted to porous Cu-Ni alloy with various pore structures. The sintered samples show large pores which are aligned parallel to the sublimable vehicle growth direction. The pore size and porosity decrease with increase in powder content due to the degree of powder rearrangement in slurry. In the hypoeutectic composition slurry, small pores with dendritic morphology are observed in the sintered Cu-Ni, whereas the specimen of hypereutectic composition shows pore structure of plate shape. The change of pore structure is explained by growth behavior of primary camphor and naphthalene crystals during solidification of camphor-naphthalene alloys.

A unique porous material with controlled pore characteristics can be fabricated by the freeze-drying process, which uses the slurry of organic material as the sublimable vehicle mixed with powders. The essential feature in this process is that during the solidification of the slurry, the dendrites of the organic material should repel the dispersed particles into the interdendritic region. In the present work, a model experiment is attempted using some transparent organic materials mixed with glass powders, which enable in-situ observation. The organic materials used are camphor-naphthalene mixture (hypo- and hypereutectic composition), salol, camphene, and pivalic acid. Among these materials, the constituent phases in camphor-naphthalene system, i.e. naphthalene plate, camphor dendrite, and camphor-naphthalene eutectic exclusively repel the glass powders. This result suggests that the control of organic material composition in the binary system is useful for producing a porous body with the required pore structure.

Pyrolysis/gasification technology utilizes an energy conversion technique from various waste resources, such as biomass, solid waste, sewage sludge, and etc. to generating a syngas (synthesis gas). However, one of the major problems for the pyrolysis gasification is the presence of tar in the product gas. The tar produced might cause damages and operating problems on the facility. In this study, a gliding arc plasma reformer was developed to solve the previously acknowledged issues. An experiment was conducted using surrogate benzene and naphthalene, which are generated during the pyrolysis and/or gasification, as the representative tar substance. To identify the characteristics of the influential parameters of tar decomposition, tests were performed on the steam feed amount (steam/carbon ratio), input discharge power (specific energy input, SEI), total feed gas amount and the input tar concentration. In benzene, the optimal operating conditions of the gliding arc plasma 2 in steam to carbon (S/C) ratio, 0.98 $kWh/m^3$ in SEI, 14 L/min in total gas feed rate and 3.6% in benzene concentration. In naphthalene, 2.5 in S/C ratio, 1 $kWh/m^3$ in SEI, 18.4 L/min in total gas feed rate and 1% in naphthalene concentration. The benzene decomposition efficiency was 95%, and the energy efficiency was 120 g/kWh. The naphthalene decomposition efficiency was 79%, and the energy yield was 68 g/kWh.

The bioavailability of sorbed organic contaminants is one of the most important factors used to determine their fate in the environment. This study was conducted to evaluate the bioavailability of slow-desorbable naphthalene in soils. An air sparging system was utilized to remove dissolved (or desorbed) naphthalene continuously and to limit the bacterial utilization of dissolved naphthalene. A biological air sparging system (air sparging system with bacteria) was developed to evaluate the bioavailability of the slow-desorption fraction in soils. Three different strains (Pseudomonas putida G7, Pseudomonas sp. CZ6 and Burkholderia sp. KM1) and two soils were used. Slow-desorbable naphthalene continuously decreased under air sparging; however, a greater decrease was observed in response to the biological air sparging system. Enhanced bioavailability was not observed in the Jangseong soil. Overall, the results of this study suggests that the removal rate of slow-desorbable contaminants may be enhanced by inoculation of degrading bacteria into an air sparging system during the remediation of contaminated soils. However, the enhanced bioavailability was found to depend more on the soil properties than the bacterial characteristics.

The maximum absorption wavelengths of charge-transfer complexes of naphthalene, ${\alpha}-and{\beta}-methyl$ naphthalene and 1,2-, 2,3-and 2,6-dimethyl naphthalene with chloranil have been measured with a UV spectrophotometer in ethylene chloride, methylene chloride, and chloroform at 10, 15, 20, and 25$^{\circ}C$. This absorption band was interpreted as the charge transfer band of a 1 : 1 molecular complex, and the maximum absorption wavelength was changed as a function of solvent and temperature. Their formation constants (K$_f$) were decreased with the polarity of solvent and the increase of temperature. Thus, the influences of solvent and temperature on the formation constant have been discussed as consideration of thermodynamic properties, and the electronic and steric effects of electron donors on formation constant have been also discussed.

Poly(ethylene 2,6-naphtalenen dicarboxylate)(PEN)에 관한 연구는 1948년 Cook 등에 의해 처음으로 PET의 benzene ring을 naphthalene ring으로 대체하는 새로운 합성방법이 보고되었다[1]. 그 역사는 비교적 오래 되었지만 1980년대까지 PEN의 구조에 관한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 그러나 1980년대 후반이 되면서 소위 "high performance polymers"에 관한 관심의 증가로 매우 좋은 기계적 물성과 열 안정성을 가지고 있는 PEN은 매우 중요한 소재로 인식되었다[2].

Poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate) (PEN)는 주사슬에 PET의 벤젠링 대신에 나프탈렌링을 가지고 있어서 PET보다 분자사슬이 훨씬 더 강직하여 보다 좋은 기계적 물성과 치수안정성을 가진 소재로 알려져 있다. 또한 PEN섬유는 열수축률과 탄성률이 레이온 섬유에 가장 근접해 있고 PET보다 높은 유리전이 온도를 가짐으로써 열안정성이 우수하며 화학적 안정성 또한 뛰어나므로 타이어 코드용 섬유로 널리 알려져 있다. (중략)
