재생 가능한 자원인 동식물성 기름을 원료로 제조되는 수송용 연료 바이오디젤은 낮은 대기오염물질 배출과 $CO_2$ Neutral 특성으로 환경친화적인 연료로 인정을 받으며 전세계적으로 그 생산량이 급격히 증가하고 있다. 대부분의 상용화 공정은 염기촉매를 이용한 전이에스테르화 반응에 근거하고 있으며 높은 생산성을 위해 연속 공정을 채택하고 있다. 원료유 중의 유리지방산(free fatty acid, FFA)은 염기 촉매와 반응하여 지방산염(Soap)과 수분을 생성하며 반응촉매의 투입양을 증가시카고 반응 후에 글리세롤과 지방산 메틸에스테르와의 분리를 어렵게 만든다. 높은 수율과 후속공정의 부하를 줄이기 위해서는 식물성 원료유 중의 FFA는 고체 산촉매 하에서 메탄올과 에스테르화 반응시켜 전환 제거되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 고체산 촉매인 Amberlyst-15을 충전한 4단 PBR(Packed Bed Reactor, 충전율 60%(v/v))에서 반응시간과 반응온도에 따른 대두원유의 전처리 효율을 조사하였으며 최적 전처리 조건을 도출하였다. 최적 전처리 조건에서 대두원유는 초기 산가 1.6에서 0.4-0.6으로 연속 전처리할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 연속 흐름 반응기인 PFR(Plug Flow Reactor)와 4단 CSTR(Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor)에서 균질계 촉매인 KOH 존재하에 대두유와 메탄올과의 전이에스테르화 반응 특성을 조사하였으며 각 연속 반응시스템에서 최적 운전 조건을 도출하였다. PFR 반응기에서 반응온도, 반응시간, 반응물 흐름방향, static mixer(SM) 개수에 따른 반응특성을 조사한 결과, PFR에서의 최적 반응조건은 하향류 흐름 방향과 3개의 SM를 설치한 조건에서 반응시간 5.8분, 반응온도 90$^{\cdot}C$, 메탄올:오일 몰비 9:1, KOH 농도 0.8%로 도출되었다. CSTR 반응기에서는 반응온도와 체류시간에 따른 반응특성을 조사하였으며 최적반응 조건으로 반응온도 80$^{\cdot}C$, 메탄올/오일 몰비 9:1, KOH 농도 0.8%, 체류시간 18.4분, 교반속도 250rpm로 조사되었다.

Biodiesel has very similar physical properties (density, kinematic viscosity) and has even higher cetane number compare with conventional diesel. There are no necessity to change or modify the infra-structure & engine system. It is known that fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) is oxygen-contained components increasing the combustibility, biodegradability and reduced the exhaust harmful gas. These things made the biodiesel more popular as an alternative diesel fuel. But biodiesel's sources are controversial issues about $CO_2$ reduction effect at this time because those mainly come from edible plants such as soy, palm, rapeseed already spent lot of $CO_2$ to cultivate. Whereas micro-algae is focused because they are inedible and has rapid growth rates & high carbon-dioxide adsorption rate per area. In this study, we analyze the each FAME components using $GC{\times}GC$-TOFMS in stead of GC-FID and verify the previous total FAME contents method's applicability through the micro algal biodiesel derived from Dunaliella tertiolecta.

In this paper, we analysed fatty acid methyl ester contents in the biodiesel which is produced from the newly developed biodiesel production equipment. The lard oil was used as the raw material through various experimental conditions. Thirty one experiments were conducted, which were based on the experimental conditions that designed by central composite design method. The effects of four independent variables, including reaction temperature, reaction time, oil to methanol molar ratio, and catalytic amount, were investigated at five levels using central composite design (CCD). Fatty acid methyl ester content was chosen dependent variable. Although the results of analysis of the surface with an irregular surface geometry showed that the biodiesel was partially impure after the reaction due to the natural characteristics of the lard oil as the raw material, we could confirm the relationship between them from the facts that the production amount of fatty acid methyl ester changes according to reaction temperature, reaction time, oil to methanol molar ratio, and catalytic amount.

Biodiesel produced from triglyceride which is main component of animal fats and vegetable oils by methanolysis was known for remarkable cetane number. In this study, the derived cetane number of 3 kinds of biodiesel came from vegetable oils such as soybean oil, palm oil, and perilla oil and 2 kind of biodiesel which were produced from beef tallow and pork lard were analyzed using IQT (Ignition quality tester). In IQT test result, the derived cetane number of palm- , beef tallow- and pork lard's biodiesel were more excellent than other biodiesels. After analysis of biodiesel composed molecular by gas chromatography-mass and determination of the derived cetane number of pure biodiesel components using IQT, we have found that the low olefin contented and long alkyl chained biodiesel have excellent derived cetane number.

Biodegradability test for various synthetic lubricant oil bases derived from biodiesel was carried out. The biodegradability was estimated under aerobic aqueous condition, according to the method by OECD 301 B, which is based on CO$_2$ evolution test. The ultimate biodegradability of pentaerythritol methyl esters were estimated as 61.1∼80.3%, at 28 day with which the test compounds were indicated as ultimately biodegradable. Among the tested samples, biodiesel showed the highest biodegradability (83.5%). The validation with several criteria, regarding relative errors of test results, toxicity control and procedure control, was performed through the biodegradability test. The test procedure was validated for all the tested lubricant oil bases and biodiesel, except for petroleum diesel.

PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) has excellent mechanical properties such as low absorption, dimensional stability, abrasion resistance. It is used in manufacturing electronic components, the automobile part and the various precise parts. Bis (hydroxybutyl) terephthalate (BHBT) which is a PBT monomer, can be produced by transesterification reaction of DMT (dimethyl terephthalate) with 1,4-butandiol (BD). The kinetics of transesterification reaction of DMT with BD using zinc acetate as a catalyst was studied in a batch reactor. Previous kinetic studies was carried out in a semibatch reactor where generated methanol was removed so that reverse reactions were not considered in the kinetic expressions, resulting in inaccuracy of the kinetic model. Mathematical models of a batch reactor for the transesterification reaction were developed and used to characterize the reaction kinetics and the composition distribution of the reaction products. More accurate models than previous models was obtained and found to have a good agreement between model predictions and experimental data.

Two-component polyurethane flame-retardant coatings were prepared by blending trichloro lactone modified polyesters (TAPTS) and isocyanate, Desmodur IL. Polycondensation reaction of trichlorobenzoic acid (TBA) as a flame-retardant component, and adipic acid with trimethylolpropane, polycaprolactone 0201, and 1,4-butanediol gave the corresponding TAPTs. The content of TBA was adjusted from 10 to 30 wt% in our experiment. It was found that various properties of these new flame-retardant coatings were comparable to other non-flame-retardant coatings. We also carried out three different tests for the measurement of flammability of flame -retardant coatings. The results of vertical burning test for the coatings containing more than 20 wt% of TBA were determined as 'no burn'. The results of flammability test for the coatings with 20 and 30 wt% of TBA contents indicated the limiting oxygen index (LOI) values of 25% and 27% respectively, which implied relatively good flame retardancy. They also showed the char length of 3.6-5.2 cm according to $45^{\circ}$ Meckel burner test, which can be classified as the first grade flame-retardant coatings.

Stereoselectivities of (4+2) cycloaddition reactions of cyclopentadiene with the methyl-substituted allenic acids and esters were investigated by application of $\pi$-nonbonded interaction ($\pi$-NBI) theory. 2-FMO method has been found to be adequate for determination of endo selectivities of diene(LUMO)-dienophile (LUMO) interaction in the thermal reactions and diene (HOMO)-dienophile (LUMO) interaction in the Lewis acid catalyzed reactions. $\pi$-isoconjugate diene structure was formed by through-bond interaction of allene moiety with methyl group in the cumulated diene system; the methyl substituent acts as a conjugative chain and causes inter-level narrowing effect of the FMO's. In dienophiles which do not form $\pi$-isoconjugate diene system, methyl group acts merely as an electron donating group. In thermal reactions, the stereoselectivities are controlled by $\pi$-nonbonded secondary orbital interaction ($\pi$-NSOI) of methyl substituent, which behaves similarly as an ethylene molecule.

Transesterification reaction between dimethyl phthalate and ethylene glycol was kinetically investigated in the presense of various metal nitrate catalysts at $170^{\circ}C$. The reaction rates measured by the amount of distilled methanol from the reaction vessel. The transesterification reaction was carried out under the first order conditions respect to the concentration of dimethyl phthalate and catalyst, respectively. The over all order was 2nd. By Arrhenius plot, the activation energy was calculated as 17.4kcal/mole and 17.2kcal/mole on the transesterification reaction with zinc nitrate and lead nitrate, respectively. Apparent rate constant, k' was appeared linear about concentration of catalyst.

The transesterification reaction between diethanolamine and dimethylphthalate was kinetically investigated in the presence of various metal acetate catalysts at $130^{\circ}C$. The reaction was followed by the measurement of distilled methanol from the reaction vessel. The transesterification was found to obey first-order kinetics with respect to the concentration of diethanolamine and dimethylphthalate and catalyst, respectively. The reactivities has highest value where the electronegativity and instability constand (Kij) values for the metal acetate catalysts are about 1.6.
