This paper examines the physico-chemical properties and structural features of thio lignin and alcohol lignin preparations extracted from fast-growing poplar wood. The lignin preparations were characterized using UV, IR and alkaline nitrobenzene oxidation methods. The yield was higher in thiolignin due to its preparation from wood under drastic alkaline conditions and almost the total amount of alkaline degraded lignin was precipitated except acid soluble lignin. In case of ethanol lignin, structural modifications were comparatively less and form a cream colored lignin more or less similar to its original natural color. The methoxyl values were higher due to syringyl unit present in hard wood lignin in addition to guaicyl unit present in soft wood. The higher values of methoxyl content of isolated lignin revealed that it was built up of high syringyl units. The elementary analysis, methoxyl group and hydroxyl groups were presented by $C_{9}$ formula indicated that it was made up of phenyl propane monomers. Nitrobenzene oxidation of thio lignin and ethanol lignin yield more or less the chromatograms of similar pattern, except difference in relative percentage. The ultra violet spectra of lignins were quite similar, irrespective of the source and method of isolation. Infrared spectroscopy studies of poplar deltoides, thio and ethanol lignin shown different absorption bands which have been utilized for structural investigations.

The reduction of nitrobenzene by triirondodecacarbonyl over phase transfer catalysts was investigated. The phase transfer catalysts showed a good yield of aniline at room temperature. Benzyltriethylammonium chloride, tricaprylmethyl ammonium chloride, 18-crown-6 and polyethyleneglycol-400 were good phase transfer catalysts in this reaction. The effect of reaction temperature, concentration of sodium hydroxide and organic solvents on the reaction rate and yield of aniline were studied in this work.

The solubility of i-butyl bromide in nitrobenzene have been measured at 19, 25 and $40^{\circ}C$ in the presence and absence of gallium bromide. In the presence of gallium bromide, 1 : 1 complex, $i-C_4H_9Br{\cdot}GaBr_3$ is formed in the solution. The instability constant K of the complex formation was evaluated from the following equilibrium equation. $i-C_4H_9Br{\cdot}GaBr_3{\rightleftharpoons}C_4H_9Br + 1/2Ga_2Br_6.$ From these result, it seems that the stabilities of the complex formation, gallium bromide with alkyl bromide, are directly related with those of the carbonium ions of alkyl bromide.

The rate of the bromine-exchange reaction between gallium bromide and isopropyl bromide in nitrobenzene was measured at 19$^{\circ},\;25^{\circ}$ and 40$^{\circ}C$., using isopropyl bromide labelled with Br-82. The results indicated that the exchange reaction was second order with respect to gallium bromide and first order with respect to isopropyl bromide. The third-order rate constant determined at 19$^{\circ}C$. was 3.2 ${\times}10^{-2}l^2{\cdot}mole^{-2}sec^{-1}$. The activation energy, the enthalpy of activation and the entropy of activation for the exchange reaction were also determined.

Pitch precursors were synthesized from coal tar(CT) and pyrolysis fuel oil(PFO, petroleum residue oil) at relatively low temperature of $250^{\circ}$, in the presence of horontrifluorideidiethyletherate complex(BFDE) as a catalyst and nitrobenzene(NB) as a co-catalyst. The softening point, nitrogen content and carbon yield increased with an increase of concentration of NB. The pitch precursors with good spinnability were prepared by removing the volatile components through $N_2$ blowing. The precursor pitches were spun through a circular nozzle, stabilized at $310^{\circ}$ and finally carbonized at $1000^{\circ}$. The optically anisotropic structure formed at the absence of NB was changed into isotropic structure, showing a decrease in size of the flow domain. The hollow carbon fiber could be prepared in the process of stabilization. The results proposed that the morphology of carbon materials could be controlled by changing the concentration of catalyst and/or co-catalyst and/or stabilization condition that affect on the mobility of molecules during carbonization.

The rate of bromine-exchange reaction between antimony tribromide and ${\alpha}-phenyl-n-butyl$ bromide in nitrobenzene has been determined, using antimony tribromide labelled with Br-82. The results indicate that the exchange reaction follows the first-order kinetics with respect to the organic bromide, and either the second- or first-order kinetics with respect to antimony tribromide depending on its concentration. The third-order rate constant obtained was 7.50 ${\times}10^{-2}l^2mol^{-2}s^{-1}$ at 28$^{\circ}$C. Similar study on the bromine-exchange reaction between antimony tribromide and ${\alpha}$-phenyl-i-butyl bromide has also been carried out. The results of the study show the same kinetic orders as the ones observed with $\alpha$-phenyl-n-butyl bromide. The third-order rate constant observed was 2.40 ${\times} 10^{-2} l^2mol^{-2}s^{-1}$ at 28$^{\circ}$C. The activation energy, the enthalpy of activation and the entropy of activation for the two exchange reactions mentioned above have been determined. The reaction mechanisms for the exchange reactions are discussed.

A selective separation of Actirlide(III) by a nPr-BTP/nitrobezene extraction system was studied. The nPr-BTP (2.6-Bis-(5.6-n-propyl-1.2.4-triazin-3-yl)-pyridine) of a environmentally -friendly CHN type was self-synthesized and its compatability with diluent and stability with nitric acid were investigated. At the 0.1M nPr-BTP/nitrobenzene-1M $HNO_3$ and O/A=2, extraction yields of Am used as a representative of Actinide(III) and Eu were about 85% and 8%, respectively, and the other RE elements such as Nd, Ce and Y were extracted less than 3% (separation factor of Am and Eu was about 60). Thus, there was no problems in the selective extraction of Actinide(III) from RE. The stripping yield of Am with 0.05M $HNO_3$ at O/A= 1, however, was about 43% and the maximum stripping yield was 65% at O/A=0.3. It is necessary to develop the stripping system including the stripping agent instead of nitric acid solution.

The stability constants of the charge-transfer complexes formed between three derivatives of nitrobenzene, i.e., 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, m-dinitrobenzene, nitrobenzene and eleven organic molecules such as $\alpha-picoline$, pyridine, dimethylsulfoxide, N, N'-dimethylacetamide, tetrahydrofurane, 1, 4-dioxane, diethyl ether, acetonitrile, propylene oxide, epichlorohydrine, and methyl acetate, have been determined by ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy in carbon tetrachloride solution at 25.0$^{\circ}C$. The parameters of the electrostatic effect ($E_D$) and covalent effect ($C_D$) for the eleven organic compounds have been calculated from the modified equation of the double-scale enthalpy,$logK = E_AC_A+E_DC_D$ and also the shift of C=O vibrational frequency in infrared spectra for N,N'-dimethylacetamide have been measured from the solutions of above organic compounds. The empirical equation, ${\Delta}{\nu}_{C=O} = 37.4-5.47E_D+12.1C_D$, related to the parameters and the frequency shift has been derived. It seems that the stabilities of the complexes principally depend on the covalent effect. Especially it is found that $\pi$ orbitals in molecules, in addition to the parameters, play the important role in forming the charge-transfer complexes.

Degradation of aromatic compound by Pseudomonas mendocina BCNU 154 has been investigated. The microorganism utilizes xylene, toluene, nitrobenzene, ethylbenzene and cumene. This strain is tolerant to some heavy metals, such as Mn, Cu, Si, and Mo, and resistant to some antibiotics, such as vancomycin, chloramphenicol and ampicillin. The metabolic pathway of toluene in Pseudomonas mendocina BCNU 154 is also elucidated.
