Dust explosions are occurring in a variety of industries. A dust explosion caused by a specific energy generates huge amount of energy in the ignition and releases decomposition gas. Damages can be increased since this released decomposition gas can cause second and subsequent explosions. In this study, the goal was to obtain practical information on what could affect the explosion by comparing the characteristics of two kinds of dusts with completely different chemical properties. Three kinds of dusts were measured and evaluated for explosion pressure, dust explosion index, explosion limit and minimum ignition energy. It is possible to grasp the characteristics of each dust and use it as useful accident prevention data in the production of raw material powder.

Surfactants are the surface-active molecules that display amphiphilicity, Because of this surface activity and amphiphilicity, surfactants have been used in wide industrial applications such as foods, detergents, cosmetics, medicine, polymers, paints, flotation, textiles. These days, their applications extend to high-technology industries such as microelectronics, magnetic recording material, advanced batteries, novel separations, etc. As new applications of surfactants are found and the demand of the surfactants increases, surfactant industry has been more pressed to face a formidable challenge, which is to develop surfactants that are envirionmentally friendly. In this regard biosurfactants may be alternatives to chemical surfactants, since biosurfactants are biologically compatible, more biodegradable, less toxic, and highly specific. Because of these excellent advantages over those of chemical surfactants, much efforts have been made in biosurfactant research. This article reviews biosurfactants in several aspects, that is, their definition, structures, properties, applications, and prospects.

Introduction of a difluoromethylene group into organic compounds has been observed to impart them with positive properties, as viewed by a wide range of industries. Here, synthesis of 3,3-difluoro-2-pyrrolidone derivatives (7) was accomplished by the reaction of ethyl 2,2-difluoro-4-iodo-4-(trimethylsilyl) butanolate (4) with primary amines followed by desilylation. The key intermediate (4) was prepared from the addition reaction of trimethylvinylsilane (3) to ethyl difluoroiodoacetate (2) in the presence of Cu(0). Ethyl difluoroiodoacetate (2) was prepared starting from ethyl bromodifluoroacetate (1) via Reformatsky-type reaction.

$Si_3N_4$/TiN nano/nano-type composites were successfully fabricated by the combination of a mechano-chemical grinding (MCG) method and a short time sintering process, and their wear resistance was evaluated. Powder mixtures of $\alpha-Si_3N_4$and Ti were prepared using mechano-chemical grinding process and the resulting nanocomposite powder mixtures were consolidated using pulsed electric current sintering (PECS). TEM observation showed that the nano/nano-type composites consisted of homogeneous and very fine matrix grains with the size less than 100 nm. The obtained $Si_3N_4$-based nano/nano-type showed high wear resistance and electric discharge machinability.

Petroleum refinery effluents are waste originating from industries primarily engaged in refining crude oil. It is a very complex compound of various oily wastes, water, heavy metals and so on. Conventional processes are unable to effectively remove the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of petroleum refinery effluents. Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) was proposed to treat petroleum refinery effluents. In this paper, methanol was used to investigate co-oxidative effect of methanol on petroleum refinery effluents treatment. The results indicated that supercritical water oxidation is an effective process for petroleum refinery effluents treatment. Adding methanol caused an increase in COD removal. When reaction temperature is $440^{\circ}C$, residence time is 20 min, OE is 0.5 and initial COD is 40000 mg/L, and COD removal increases 8.5%.

Monodisperse, micron-sized, hybrid particles having a core-shell structure were prepared by coating the surface of poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) microspheres with silica and by copolymerizing acrylamide (AAm) to supply the hydrogen bonding effect by means of the amide groups. Tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) was then slowly dropped onto the medium under certain conditions. Because of the hydrogen bonding between the amide of the PMMA particles and the hydroxyl group of the hydrolyzed silanol, a silica shell was generated on the PMMA core particles. The morphology of the hybrid particles was investigated with transmission (TEM) and scanning (SEM) electron microscopy as a function of the medium conditions and the amount of TEOS. Improved thermal properties were observed by TGA analysis.

Recently, a large amount of flammable or explosive materials have been handled or stored in chemical industries. H the equipments fail or the materials release in consequence of operation errors, fire and explosion could occur to them. Thus, risk assessment using quantification of risks is very important when design of processes and modifications of installed processes are performed. The purpose of this study is to develop the program for fire and explosion index in order to quantify the expected damage of fire and explosion incidents in chemical plants, to identify equipment that would be likely to contribute to the creation or escalation of an incident, to comunicate the potential fire and explosion risk to management and to account of damage cost.

Alkyl amines are widely used in various industries. Nowadays these are also used in CO₂ capture technology because amines react with CO₂ and remove it from the flue gas. To make the amines more compatible towards this technology, physico chemical properties may be altered by mixing with other solvents. In the present report, we measured the refractive properties of pure diisopropylamine (DIPA) (1) + isomeric butanol (2) at 298.15 K to 308.15 K. The 𝚫n values were positive for DIPA + n-butanol or sec-butanol or isobutanol or tert-butanol mixtures. The measured data was correlated with Redlich-Kister equation. The excess molar volume data were predicted from refractive index data using Nakata and Sakurai model. The experimental data were also predicted by various correlations, and the prediction capability of these correlations was reported through standard deviation. Further, the deviation in refractive index (𝚫n) data was interpreted by the consideration of specific molecular interactions between DIPA and isomeric butanol.

Composites based on engineering thermoplastics exhibit excellent mechanical and thermal properties and simple processing and reprocessing attributes, and are widely used in the aerospace, three-dimensional (3D) printing, and automobile industries. Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is one of the most desirable engineering thermoplastics, owing to its superior thermal performance, inherent flame retardancy resulting from the presence of sulfur in its backbone structure, chemical resistance, and satisfactory electrical properties. However, pure PPS resin has limited applicability owing to its brittleness. To compensate for these shortcomings, various filler materials are frequently used in the manufacture of PPS composites. In this review, we would like to present the correlation between the structure and physical properties of PPS composite materials using various fillers.

The constant need for quality improvement and production rationalization in the chemical and related industries has led to the increasing replacement of conservative control procedures by more specific and environmentally compatible analytical techniques. In this respect, vibrational spectroscopy has developed over the last yews - in combination with new instrumental accessories and statistical evaluation procedures - to one of the most important analytical tools for industrial chemical quality control and process monitoring in a wide field of applications. In the present communication this potential is demonstrated in order to further support the implementation of mid-infrared (MIR), near-infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy Primarily as industrial on-line tools. To this end the data of selected feasibility studies will be discussed in terms of the individual strengths of the different techniques for the respective application.
