The photocatalytic decomposition characteristics of single n-pentane, n-pentane mixed with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and n-pentane mixed with ethyl acetate (EA) by cylindrical UV reactor installed with $TiO_2$-coated perforated plane were studied. The effects of the residence time, the inlet gas concentration, and the oxygen concentration were investigated. The removal efficiency of n-pentane was increased with increasing the residence time and the oxygen concentration, but decreased with increasing the inlet concentration of n-pentane. The photocatalytic decomposition rates of single n-pentane, n-pentane mixed with MEK, and n-pentane mixed with EA fitted well on Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics equation. The maximum elimination capacities of single n-pentane, n-pentane mixed with MEK, and n-pentane mixed with EA were obtained to be $465g/m^3{\cdot}day$, $217g/m^3{\cdot}day$, and $320g/m^3{\cdot}day$, respectively. The presence of coexisting MEK and EA vapor had a negative effect on the photocatalytic decomposition of n-pentane and the negative effect of MEK was higher than that of EA.

n-Pentane의 분리 및 회수를 위해 분리막의 제조가 용이하고 유기용매에 대한 내용매성이 있는 polyetherimide (PEI)를 지지체로 poly (dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS)를 코팅하여 중공사 복합막을 제조하였다. 제조된 기체 분리막의 특성을 알아보기 위하여 n-Pentane과 질소를 이용하여 공급농도와 stage cut의 변화에 따른 n-pentane과 질소의 투과도, permeate, retentate의 농도, 농축도, 회수율을 측정하였다. n-pentane과 질소의 투과도는 각각 2485.3, 9.9 GPU를 나타내었고, stage cut이 감소하고 공급농도가 증가할수록 투과측의 n-pentane 농도는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 반면 회수효율의 경우에는 stage cut이 증가할수록 공급농도가 감소할수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다.

촉진 수송 분리 막은 $Ag^+$ 이온과 올레핀 사이에서 ${\pi}$-complexation을 형성하고, 촉진 수송 현상에 의하여 올레핀을 선택적으로 분리한다. 본 연구에서는 Isoprene/n-pentane 분리를 위해 Sulfonated poly(ether ether)ketone (SPEEK)-$AgNO_3$로 이루어진 촉진 수송 분리 막을 제조하여 실험하였다. 이 분리 막은 isoprene의 좋은 선택도와 투과도를 나타내었고 장시간 동안 안정하게 분리 막의 성능을 유지하였다. SPEEK는 다양한 합성 조건에 따라서 degree of sulfonation (DS)가 많은 차이를 나타냈고, 1H NMR spectroscopy를 사용하여 제조된 SPEEK의 DS를 측정하였다. 이렇게 제조된 SPEEK를 이용한 분리 막의 선택도나 투과도와 같은 성능은 SPEEK의 DS에 의해 영향을 받았다. SPEEK의 DS가 높을수록, n-pentane에 대한 isoprene의 선택도는 최대 850 ~ 900까지 증가하였고, 또한 막의 안정성 역시 100시간 이상 유지되었다.

Objectives: This study was conducted in order to obtain information concerning the health hazards that may result from a 13 week inhalation exposure of n-pentane in Sprague-Dawley rats. Methods: This study was conducted in accordance with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) guidelines for the testing of chemicals No. 413 'Subchronic inhalation toxicity: 90-day study (as revised in 2009)'. The rats were divided into 4 groups (10 male and 10 female rats in each group), and were exposed to 0, 340, 1,530, and 6,885 ppm n-pentane in each exposure chamber for 6 hour/day, 5 days/week, for 13 weeks. All of the rats were sacrificed at the end of the treatment period. During the test period, clinical signs, mortality, body weights, food consumption, ophthalmoscopy, locomotion activity, urinalysis, hematology, serum biochemistry, gross findings, organ weights, and histopathology were assessed. Results: During the period of testing, there were no treatment related effects on the clinical findings, body weight, food consumption, ophthalmoscopy, urinalysis, hematology, serum biochemistry, gross findings, relative organ weight, and histopathological findings. Conclusion: The no-observable-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) of n-pentane is evaluated as being more than 6,885 ppm (20.3 mg/L) in both male and female rats. n-pentane was not a classified specific target organ toxicity in the globally harmonized classification system (GHS).

n-Pentane and n-hexane, previously regarded as non-hydrate formers, are found to form structure H hydrate in mixtures with 2,2-dimethylbutane. Even though they are thought to be too large to fit into the largest cage of the structure H hydrate, powder XRD and NMR measurements show that they form gas hydrates in mixtures with other sH hydrate former. These findings are of fundamental interest and also will impact the composition and location of natural gas hydrates and their potential as global energy resource and climate change materials.

Phase behavior information is necessary for accomplishing homogeneous copolymerization to obtain high yield of copolymers and prevent a fouling problem. Cloud-point data to $160^{\circ}C$ and 1,450 bar are presented for five $C_6$ hydrocarbon solvents, normal hexane, 2,2-dimethyl butane, 2,3-dimethyl butane, 2-methyl pentane, and 3-methyl pentane, with poly(ethylene-co-53 mol% norbornene) ($PEN_{53}$). The pressure-concentration isotherms measured for $PEN_{53}$/n-hexane have maximums that range between 5 and 12 wt% $PEN_{53}$. The cloud-point curves for $PEN_{53}$ all have negative slopes that decrease in pressure with temperatures. The single-phase region of $PEN_{53}$ in n-hexane is larger than the regions in 2,2-dimethyl butane, 2,3-dimethyl butane, 2-methyl pentane, and 3-methyl pentane. The cloud-point curve of $PEN_{53}$ in 2,2-dimethyl butane is located at higher temperatures and pressures than the curve in 2,3-dimethyl butane due to the reduced dispersion interactions with and limited access of 2,2-dimethyl butane to the copolymer. Similar cloud-point behavior is observed for $PEN_{53}$ in 2-methyl pentane and 3-methyl pentane.

Cloud-point and bubble-point data to $170^{\circ}C$ and 50 bar are presented for four different solvents, normal pentane. n-hexane, n-heptane, and n-octane with poly(ethylene-co-42 wt% octene) ($PEO_{42}$) copolymer. The pressure-concentration isotherms measured for $PEO_{42}$ - normal pentane have maximums at around 5 wt% of the copolymer concentrations in the solution. $PEO_{42}$- normal pentane system exhibits LCST-type phase behavior at temperatures greater than $130^{\circ}C$. Below $120^{\circ}C$, bubble-point type transitions are observed. However, the binary mixtures for $PEO_{42}$ in n-hexane, n-heptane, and n-octane have only bubble-point type transitions at the pressure-temperature region investigated in this study. The single-phase region of PEO - alkane mixtures increases with the molecular size of alkane solvent due to the increasing dispersion interactions between PEO and the alkane.

In this laboratory study, the changes in gas-exposed perchloroethene (PCE) saturation in sand during a PCE removal process were measured using gaseous tracers. The flux of fresh air through a glass column packed with PCEcontaminated, partially water-saturated sand drove the removal of PCE from the column. During the removal of PCE, methane, n-pentane, difluoromethane and chloroform were used as the non-reactive, PCE-partitioning, water-partitioning, and PCE and water-partitioning tracers, respectively. N-pentane was used to detect the PCE fraction exposed to the mobile gas. At water saturation of 0.11, only 65% of the PCE was found to be exposed to the mobile gas prior to the removal of PCE, as calculated from the n-pentane retardation factor. More PCE than that detected by n-pentane was depleted from the column due to volatilization through the aqueous phase. However, the ratio of gas-exposed to total PCE decreased on the removal of PCE, implying gas-exposed PCE was preferentially removed by vaporization. These results suggest that the water-insoluble, PCE-partitioning tracer (n-pentane in this study), along with other tracers, can be used to investigate the changes in fluid (including nonaqueous phase liquid) saturation and the removal mechanism during the remediation process.
