The ratio of saccharification and formation of furans during the acid hydrolysis of agar with oxalic acid and sulfuric acid were examined base on the contents of the agar and acids. The ratio of saccharification in oxalic acid appeared to be 51~59% somewhat higher than 49~61% of sulfuric acid. Formation of the furans during the acid hydrolysis increased proportional to the contents of agar and acid. The relative formation ratio was high 10~47% for furfural (FUR) and 15~29% for hydroxy-methyl furfural (HMF) in 0.5~1.25% sulfuric acid rather than those of oxalic acid. When comparing the removal efficiency of the furans using an alkali treatment, steam stripping and hydrophobic resins, FUR was eliminated 60% by the alkali treatment, 62~90% by steam stripping and 71~75% by Amberlite XAD4 and 7HP, while HMF was removed to low levels of 10.5%, 4~17% and 13~25%, respectively. The loss of reducing sugar was also observed in process of the removal of furans, and the loss rate was the level of 2~4% in alkali treatment, 11~16% in steam stripping and 7~9% in Amberlite resins.

A new and efficient Au-catalyzed alkoxycyclization of conjugated enynols offers a general entry to a wide range of highly substituted furans in good to excellent yields. These furans were subjected to diethyl acetylenedicarcoxylate to afford the interesting cycloadducts in good to excellent yields.

The catalytic pyrolysis of cellulose was carried out over SAPO-11 for the first time. Pyrolyzer-gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy was used for the in-situ analysis of the pyrolysis products. The acid sites of SAPO-11 converted most levoglucosan produced from the non-catalytic pyrolysis of cellulose to furans. In particular, the selectivity toward light furans, such as furfural, furan and 2-methyl furan, was high. When the catalyst/cellulose ratio was increased from 1/1 to 3/1 and 5/1, the increase in the quantity of acid sites led to the promotion of deoxygenation and the resultant increase of the contents of light furan compounds. Because furans can be used as basic feedstock materials, the augmentation of the economical value of bio-oil through the catalytic upgrading over SAPO-11 is considerable.

퓨란 고리를 포함하는 bis-furan lexitropsin에서, DNA minor groove의 염기쌍과 결합하는 중요 부분인 퓨란의 기하학적 구조를 반경험적 방법(MNDO)과 ab initio(Hartree-Fock) 방법으로 최적화 시켰다. 최적화된 구조에 대해 6-31G와 $6-31G^{\ast}$ basis set을 사용하여 전자적 구조와 양성자 친화도를 구하였다. 아울러 퓨란의 양성자 친화도에 미치는 치환기 효과를 알아보기 위해 전자를 주는 기와 전자를 끄는 기를 갖는 여러 치환 퓨란에 대해 양성자 친화도를 조사하였다. 그 결과 전자를 주는 기는 퓨란의 양성자 친화도를 증가시키는 반면 전자를 끄는 기는 양성자 친화도를 감소시켰으며, 이 결과 치환 퓨란의 산소 원자의 atomic charge와 전자밀도로 설명할 수 있었다

다이옥신은 환경에 미량으로 존재하며 직접, 간접적인 경로를 통해 인체로 들어와 심각한 문제를 일으키는, 화학적으로 안정하고 잔류성과 독성이 강한 오염물질이다. 쓰레기 처리를 위한 소각로 시설은 다이옥신에 대한 대기오염의 주원인으로 알려져 있는데 연소시 소각로내에서와 배기가스 제어과정 중 다이옥신이 발생되는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 쓰레기 소각로에서 연소 후 생성된 바닥재 시료를 채취하여 다이옥신과 퓨란류를 조사하였다. 시료의 전처리는 EPA방법을 개선하여 불필요한 과정을 생략하면서 높은 회수율을 유지하였고 최종 정량은 고분해능 기체 크로마토그래피/고분해능 질량분석기(HRGC/HRMS)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 바닥재 시료를 분석한 전체 다이옥신의 양은 8.05 ng/g, 퓨란은 4.75 ng/g정도이었으며 2,3,7,8-TCDD는 6.93 pg/g이 검출되었고 염소원자 가 6~7개 치환된 다이옥신과 퓨란이 가장 많이 검출되는 경향을 볼 수 있었다.

An efficient synthesis of poly-substituted furans, pyrroles, and thiophenes was carried out in a regiocontrolled manner via a three-step process; (i) conjugate addition of methyl cyanoacetate derivatives to ${\alpha}$,${\beta}$-enones, (ii) CuI-mediated aerobic oxidation, and (iii) Paal-Knorr type synthesis of five-membered heterocycles.

Concentrations of dioxins, furans and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs) were determined in crucian carp collected from eight locations mainly along the Nakdong River during 2004. Total dioxin concentrations which include concentrations of dioxins, furans and DL-PCBs ranged from 0.053 to 0.614 pg WHO-TEQ $g^{-1}$ wet wt. with a mean of $0.342{\pm}0.213$ pg WHO-TEQ $g^{-1}$ wet wt. The proportions of dioxins, furans and DL-PCBs to total dioxin TEQ were 4%, 12% and 84%, respectively. The results suggest that concentrations of dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls should be determined when total dioxin TEQ accumulated in freshwater fish is investigated.

This Pilot study identifies potential dioxin and furan sources and medical plastic wastes produced from hospital solid waste streams. In this study, air emissions of dioxins and furans from sources in the U.S., which were estimated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), were summarized. Potential loading routes of dioxins and furans to the U.S.-Canada Great Lakes region have also been identified in trcent surveys. In addition, medical and hospital solid wastes produced in typical large city hospitals were characterized as important potential sources of dioxins and furans. Plastic contents in medical Plastics Characterization Survey (MMPCS), plastics composition data were obtained from a survey of five Massachusetts Hospitals and Medical Centers. By identifying plastic wastes as a percentage of total hospital wastes, we were able to use data from a preliminary study that analyzed the waste stream of 16 major New York City hospitals (NYCMWS) characterizing the plastic content of the wasters. This study determined the types of plastic wastes included in each medical waste stream (regulated medical waste or non regulated medical waste) and it discussed the potential for recyclibility of hospital plastic wastes. The combination of the NYCMWS and the MMPCS surveys provides for the first overview of the size of the recycling task of hospital plastic wastes and the potential of dioxin elimination if dioxin generating plastics were to be eliminated from hospital use.

A series of functionalized furans were synthesized by way of a palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of 2,3,5-trisubstituted furans with aryl chlorides through C-H bond cleavages at C-4 position. The feature of the reaction was facilitative preparation of furan derivatives with good functional group tolerance. All reactions gave the desired products in moderate to good yields in the presences of $BuAd_2P$ and t-BuOK in DMF at $120^{\circ}C$ after 15 h.

Atmospheric concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were measured at Gosan, Jeju in November 2001 and spring 2002, each time for two weeks. Primary target pollutants were organochlorine pesticides, coplanar polychlorinated biphenyls (co- PCBs), and dioxin/furans listed in the Stockholm Convention adopted in May 2001. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were also measured in order to understand the overall characteristics of the POPs distribution as well as PM$_{2.5}$, a potent carrier of POPs. In the latter part of the measurement period of November 2001, almost every pollutant of combustion origin including dioxin/furans went high probably due to influence of emissions in the nearby area. The characteristics of atmospheric environment at Gosan in this period were rather close to urban areas far from those of a background area. A severe dust storm swept for three days at the end of the measurement period of spring 2002. However, changes in pollutant concentrations were relatively small except PM$_{10}$. Nevertheless, increases in particulate PAHs and OCDD (octachlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins), mostly present in fine particles, were observed. Trends in organochlorine pesticide variations were mixed although possible volatilization of DDT residues from soil was inferred from the measurements of spring 2002.2.2.
