The study on the improvement of manufacturing process of RJ-4 liquid fuel that have high flash point, was carried out. In preparing of RJ-4 using commercially available MCPD, 1st, 2nd hydrogenation and isomerization reaction were enabled 1 step continuous process by combined use of heteropoly phosphoroustungstic cesium salt catalyst and 2nd stage-heat-controllable reactor. Also when heteropolyacid cesium salt was used as a isomerization catalyst instead of aluminum chloride, formation rate of exe-THDMCPD was higher, the catalyst could be easily separable from product and there was no production of waste acid, so this new reaction condition was confirmed as the environment friendly process.

3-(N-Carbonylpyrrolidone)-propanoic acid potassium-salt and 3-(N-carbonylpyrrolidone)propenoic acid potassium-salt were synthesized by the reaction of 2-pyrrolidone potassium-salt with succinic anhydride and maleic anhydride in acetone and in acetone and in benzene. The anionic polymerization of 2-pyrrolidone with 3-(N-carbonylpyrrolidone)-propanoic acid potassium-salt or 3-(N-carbonylpyrrolidone)-propenoic acid potassium-salt as an initiator and potassium hydroxide as a catalyst was studied. It was found that 2.0 and 1.0 mole %, concentration of catalyst and initiator, and temperature of $50^{\circ}C$ was the optimum condition obtaining highest conversion and viscosity of polymer. The inherent viscosity of nylon 4 was measured to be 1.2 dl/g and 2.3 dl/g.

Magnetic separation was carried out in order to improve the magnetite grade of the spent iron oxide catalyst, that was composed with magnetite, ceria and soluble alkaline salt. The recovery of magnetite from the spent iron oxide catalyst was over 99%, and the magnetite contents was upgraded to about 80% from 70% via wet type magnetic separation at 500 Gauss. This improvement was due to the removal of alkaline salt by water instead of the magnetic separation.

The preparation of glycerol carbonate (GC) from urea through carbonylation with renewable glycerol was investigated by using ionic liquid catalysts. It was found that quaternary ammonium salt and imidazolium salt ionic liquids with a shorter alkyl chain length and higher nucleophilic anion showed better catalytic performance. The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time and degree of vacuum on the reactivity of TBAC catalyst ware discussed. Zinc chloride ($ZnCl_2$) was used as co-catalyst with the ionic liquid catalyst. The mixed catalyst showed a synergy effect on the glycerol conversion and GC yield probably due to the acid-base properties of the catalysts.

Ring opening reactions of epoxides with oxygen nucleophiles catalyzed by a variety of quaternary onium salt, such as ammonium or phosphonium salt were explored. The results showed that tetrabutylphosphonium bromide (TBPB) among salts serves as the most efficient catalyst for this process and that expoxide ring opening reactions with a variety of oxygen nucleophiles including carboxyic acid and phenol, promoted using this salt, lead to generate readily purifiable products in excellent yields.

We report the catalytic effects of metal oxides on the $CO_2$ absorption rate in an aqueous potassium salt of ${\text\tiny{L}}-lysine-HCl$ using the vapor liquid equilibrium method. The best $CO_2$ absorption rate obtained through testing metal oxides in a highly concentrated potassium salt of amino acids (2.0 M) was identified using CuO. The recyclability of the metal oxides was tested over three cycles. The catalyst CuO was found to enhance the absorption rate of $CO_2$ by 61%. A possible mechanism was proposed based on NMR spectroscopy studies. Further, the effect of change in liquid absorbent viscosity on $CO_2$ absorption is discussed.

$C_{60}$ is widely investigated because of its unique structure. But its applications in solid propellant seem to be relatively neglected. $C_{60}$ has more outstanding features than carbon black which is widely used as a catalyst ingredient of solid propellant. To combine the advantages of fullerene and lead salts, another good composite in propellant catalysts, we synthesized a kind of fullerene phenylalanine lead salt (FPL) and explored its thermal performances by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). The results show it undergoes four exothermic processes started from 408 K. Combined TGA and X-ray diffractometer (XRD), the decomposition mechanism of FPL was derived by TG-IR and comparing IR spectra of FPL and its residues after burned to $327^{\circ}C$, $376^{\circ}C$ and $424^{\circ}C$, respectively. Effect of FPL on the decomposition characteristic of hexogen (RDX), a type of explosive in propellant, has been investigated using DTA at different heating rate, which shows the decomposition temperatures of the explosive are all reduced by more than 20 K. The corresponding activation energy ($E_a$) is decreased by $30kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$. So FPL has potential application as a combustion catalyst in solid propellant.

Long chain dicationic ammonium salts were used successfully as phase transfer catalyst in the condensation reactions of aromatic aldehydes in water under ultrasonic irradiation for the first time. The quaternary salt having longer distance between the cation centers was more effective than the mono- and dicationic ones having short chain.

In this study, Biodegradable masterbatch (M/B) was prepared by different kinds and content of biodegradable catalysts added to oxo biodegradable plastics. The bio film was prepared by adding biodegradable M/B to the polyethylene pellet, and the change of physical properties by UV and heat treatment and the stability as food packaging material were confirmed. As a result of the physical property change, Fe salt and Al salt bio film was superior to Ni salt bio film about a decrease in physical property. However, considering the raw material cost and industrial availability, M/B containing Fe salt was selected and additional experiments were conducted by concentration. The bio films prepared with Fe salt M/B 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 wt% showed excellent physical properties.
