The electrochemical behavior of film and charge-discharge capacity of Li-ion cell in 1 M $LiPF_6/EC:DME$ (1 : 1, by volume ratio) electrolyte solution was studied using chronopotentiometry, cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and impedance spectroscopy. The first irreversible capacity was higher than the second irrversible capacity because of solvent decomposition. Especially, passivation film that is electron insulating and ionic conducting were formed on the MPCF by solvent decomposition during the first charge. The solvated Li is co-intercalated with solvent into MPCF electrode. Part of the MPCF is expoliated during co-intercalation of solvent-Li. The MPCF ends up nonuniformly covered by a relatively thick layer of exfoliated particles embedded in a matrix of product by solvent decomposition.

The rate constants for the solvolysis of anthraquinone-2-carbonyl chloride in binary solvent mixtures, methanol-acetonitrile, methanol-acetone, ethanol-acetonitrile and ethanol-acetone, have been studied by means of conductometry. Maximum rate phenomena were observed at the methanol mole fraction, $X_{MeOH}$ = 0.73~0.81 for methanol-acetonitrile and at $X_{MeOH}$ = 0.83 for methanol-acetone mixtures. The Kivinen and Grunwald-Winstein plots indicated that the reaction proceeds via $S_N2$ type mechanism. Application of Taft's solvatochromic correlation on the solvolysis rate revealed that both $\alpha$ and ${\pi}^*$ are important for reactions in methanol-acetonitrile and methanol-acetone mixtures, while only ${\alpha}$ influences significantly on the rate in ethanol-acetonitrile and ethanol-acetone mixtures.

효소는 반응을 효율적으로 촉진시킬 뿐만 아니라 기질 및 입체특이성을 갖고 있어 광학활성 화합물을 합성하는데 매우 유용한 촉매이다. 효소 반응은 일반적으로 수용액에서 진해오디지만, 유기 용매를 포함하는 용액에서도 가능하다. 대부분의 유기 화학 반응이 유기 용매에서 진행된다는 점을 생각할 때, 유기 용매에서 효소 반응을 이용한 유기합성이 갈수록 중요해지고 있다. 본 글에서는 유기 용매에서 사용가능한 대표적인 효소인 지질 가수분해 효소(lipase)를 이용한 유기합성에 대해서 간략히 기술하고자 한다.

The enzymatic hydrolysis of Castor oil for the mass production of ricinoleic acid was studied to find out the optimum conditions such as solvents and the weight ratio of substrate to enzyme. Three different lipases were tested for the hydrolysis of castor oil: lipase from Porcine Pancrease(lipsase PP), lipase from Candida cylindracea(lipase CC), lipase from Candida Rugosa(lipase CR). The poor mass transfer in water caused a low degree of hydrolysis of castor oil. To overcome this problem, organic solvents were used. Among organic solvents tested, hydrophobic solvents gave better results of hydrolysis than hydrophilic solvents. Organic solvents also lowered or changed the effect of pH. Isopropyl ether made complete hydrolysis of castor oil. The ratio of water to isopropyl ether and the ratio of weight ratio of lipase to castor oil were important for the hydrolysis of castor oil. At 30$^{\circ}C$ castor oil was completely hydrolyzed by 4 wt% of lipase in the mixture of isopropyl ether and water(1:1 in volume).

Solvolysis of tert-butyl halides and 1-adamantyl tosylate in methanol-acetone mixtures and solvolysis of tert-butyl bromide in methanol-chloroform mixtures have been studied. Solvent ionizing power of methanol-acetone mixtures were calculated by the Grunwald-Winstein equation and discussed the Y value variation caused by substrate changes. Y values based on 1-adamantyl tosylate is superion to others since it varies in wide range for methanol-acetone mixtures. It was found that the order of electrophilic assistance to leaving group is OTs > Cl > Br > I.

In this study, outstanding white rot fungi for biodegradation of organosolv lignin were selected on the basis of their ligninolytic enzyme system. Fifteen white rot fungi were evaluated for their ability to decolorize Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) in SSC and MEB medium, respectively. Six white rot fungi (Ceriporiopsis subvermispora, Ceriporia lacerate, Fomitopsis insularis, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Polyporus brumalis, and Stereum hirsutum) decolorized RBBR rapidly in SSC medium within 3 days. The protein contents as well as the activities of manganese peroxidase (MnP) and laccase for 6 selected fungi were determined on the SSC medium with and without organosolv lignin. Interestingly, extracellular protein concentrations were determined to relative higher for S. hirsutum and P. chrysosporium in the presence of organosolv lignin than others. On the other hands, each fungus showed a different ligninolytic enzyme pattern. Among them, F. insularis resulted the highest ligninolytic enzyme activities on incubation day 6, indicating of 1,545 U/mg of MnP activity and 1,259 U/mg of laccase activity. In conclusion, $STH^*$ and FOI were considered as outstanding fungi for biodegradation of organosolv lignin, because $STH^*$ showed high extracellular protein contents and ligninolytic enzyme activities over all, and ligninolytic enzyme activities of FOI were the highest among white rot fungi used in this study.

Solvolyses of p-substituted benzyl bromides have been studied in dimethylsulfoxide-water and N,N-dimethylformamide-water mixtures by kinetic method. To determine the ionizing power, Y and the nucleophilicity, $N_{BS}$, the solvolyses of 1-adamantyl halides, t-butyl halides, and methyl tosylate in the same solvent mixtures have been investigated. The solvatochromic parameters for each dimethylsulfoxide-water mixtures have been determined by substituting into the Taft's linear solvatochromic energy relationships with measured $ν_{max}$. The solvolyses of p-substituted benzyl bromides have been found to proceed by borderline mechanism in which bond formation is more advanced than bond cleavage in the transition state based on the m, l values and ${\beta},{\rho}_s$, values.

The separation of sulfone components using light cycle oil(LCO) after oxidation was carried out by solvent extraction method using various polar solvents such as water, n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone(NMP), dimethyl sulfoxide, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, dimethyl formamide, and methyl alcohol. It was found that phase separation between LCO layer and solvent occurred under mixed solvent adding a proper amount of water. The mixture solvent of NMP and water was a promising extraction solvent due to the selective removal and high distribution coefficient of sulfone component in LCO. 99.5% over of sulfur contents in LCO can be removed by 4 stages equilibrium extraction.

Kinetic studies on the solvolysis of para-methyl benzyl nitrate and benzyl nitrate were carried out in aqueous methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, acetone, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane mixtures at 60$^{\circ}$C. The rates were faster in protic solvent mixtures than in aprotic solvent mixtures. This was considered in the light of transition state stabilization by hydrogen bonding solvation of protic solvent mixtures. Grunwald-Winstein equation, extended Grunwald-Winstein equation and correlation between E$_T$(30) and rate constant were applied in order to discuss the transition state variations caused by changing benzyl substituents and solvents. The results showed that strong electrophilic assistance of solvent is operative in the the water-rich solvents.

Sawdust, produced as an wood by-product, is usable biomass as liquid fuels if decomposed to monomer unit, because the chemical structure are similar to high octane materials found in gasoline. In this study, parameters of thermochemical degradation by acetone-solvolysis reaction of sawdust such as the effect of reaction temperature, reaction time and type of solvent on conversion yield and degradation products were investigated. The liquid products by acetone-solvolysis from sawdust produced various kind of ketone, phenol and furan compounds. The optimum sawdust conversion was observed to be 88.7% at $350^{\circ}C$, 40min. Combustion heating value of liquid products from thermochemical conversion processes was as high as 7,824 cal/g. The energy yield and mass yield in acetone-solvolysis of sawdust was 60.8% and 36.4 g-oil/100g-sawdust after 40 min of reaction at $350^{\circ}C$, respectively. The major components of the acetone-solvolysis products, that could be used as liquid fuel, were 4-methyl-3-pentene-2-one, 1,3,5-trimethylbezene, 2,6-dimethyl-2,5-heptadiene-4-one, 3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one as ketone compounds.
