Zirconium(IV) chloride is found to be an efficient catalyst for the electrophilic addition reaction of indole with aldehydes/ketones to afford the corresponding bis(indolyl methanes in good yields. The remarkable features of this new procedure are high conversions, shorter reaction times, cleaner reaction profiles and simple experimental and work-up procedures.

An efficient method of addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide to aldehydes by employing a zirconium complex as the catalyst has been described. A variety of aromatic, aliphatic, cyclic and heterocyclic aldehydes has been converted into corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers in excellent yield within short reaction time.

It was demonstrated that Y[N(TMS)2]3, the neutral yttrium-diamine complex 13 and yttrium-NPS complexes 15 are efficient precatalysts for intramolecular hydroamination of aminoalkynes involving primary amines. Complex 13 and 15 were quantitatively prepared in situ by direct metalation of the ligands 4 and 9 with 1 equiv of Y[N(TMS)2]3 in benzene-d6 at 120 oC for 5 days and 10 days, respectively, via elimination of (TMS)2NH. 5-Exo- and 6-exo-dig intramolecular hydroamination of aminoalkynes using catalyst 12 and 13 proceeded smoothly to give nitrogen-contained cyclic products in good to excellent yields in all cases. In the case of 7- exo-dig intramolecular hydroamination, the desired product was produced in 41% and 48% yields despite the gem-dimethyl effect. However, treatment of catalyst 15 with aminoalkynes (19 and 22) having a methyl substituent at the carbon adjacent to triple bond and 6-exo-dig intramolecular hydroamination of 21 failed to give the desired products. Zirconium-catalyzed intramolecular hydroamination of aminoallenes (25, 27, and 31) with 5 mol% 16 afforded 2-(trans-1-propenyl)pyrrolidine, 2-isopropylenepyrrolidine, and 2-(trans-1- propenyl)piperidine in 96%, 95%, and 93% yield, respectively. However, subjecting 25 to 5 mol% 15 was unsuccessful to produce the desired product.

In this report, nano-sized catalysts were introduced onto fabric surface to eliminate toxic chemicals assisted by physical adsorption. For chemical removal of toxic compounds, a series of zirconium-containing catalysts were synthesized and treated on fabric to catalyze the hydrolysis and oxidation of target molecules. Antimicrobial was also introduced for the research purpose to prove the compatibility of as-synthesized catalysts with other solutions. Zirconium ligated with hydroxyl group and MOF(Metal-Organic Frameworks) were exploited as catalyst for removal of toxic compounds, while zinc complex was used for an antimicrobial to culminate in a chemical shield. Once fabrics were functionalized, fabrics were washed 2 or 5 times for a washing durability test. The amount of catalyst in textile were measured by ICP-MS and weight increasing ratio of fabrics.

rac-$Et(Ind)_2ZrCl_2$ 메탈로센 촉매와 메틸알루미늄옥산 공촉매를 이용하여 polyethylene, poly(ethylene-co-1-decene), poly(ethylene-co-p-methylstyrene) 및 poly(ethylene-ter-1-decene-ter-p-methystyrene)를 합성하였다. $^{13}C$ NMR과 $^1H$ NMR 및 FT-IR을 이용하여 삼원공중합체의 특성을 분석하였다. 삼원공중합의 최적조건을 확립하기 위해 동일한 중합조건을 유지한 채 촉매량, 공촉매/촉매 몰비, 중합 시간 및 중합 온도를 변경하여 실험하였다. 촉매량이 증가할수록 삼원공중합체의 촉매활성도 및 중량평균분자량은 증가하였으나, 중합시간이 30분을 초과하자 촉매활성도는 감소하였다. 공촉매/촉매 몰비를 증가시킨 결과 중량평균분자량은 감소하였고, 촉매활성도는 어느 정도 증가하였다. 촉매활성도는 중합온도가 증가함에 따라 상승하였으나 중량평균 분자량은 감소하였다.

We have prepared the polymethylene-bridged, dinuciear, half-sandwich constrained geometry catalysts (CGC)［Zr(η$\^$5/:η$^1$-C$\_$9/H$\_$5/SiMe$_2$NCMe$_3$)］$_2$［(CH$_2$)$\_$n/］［n=6(9), n=12(10)］by treating 2 equivalents of ZrCl$_4$with the corresponding tetralithium salts of the ligands in toluene. $^1$H and $\^$13/C NMR spectra of the synthesized complexes provide firm evidence for the anticipated dinuciear structure. In $^1$H NMR spectra, two singlets representing the methyl group protons bonded at the Si atom of the CGC are present at 0.88 and 0.64 ppm, which are considerably downfield positions relative to the shifts of 0.02 and 0.05 ppm of the corresponding ligands. To investigate the catalytic behavior of the prepared dinuciear catalysts, we conducted copolymerizations of ethylene and styrene in the presence of MMAO. The prime observation is that the two dinuclear CGCs 9 and 10 are not efficient for copo-lymerization, which definitely distinguishes them from the corresponding titanium-based dinuclear CGC. These species are active catalysts, however, for ethylene homopolymerization; the activity of catalyst 10, which contains a 12-methylene bridge, is larger than that of 9 (6-methylene bridge), which indicates that the presence of the longer bridge between the two active sites contributes more effectively to facilitate the polymerization activity of the dinuciear CGC. The activities increase as the polymerization temperature increases from 40 to 70$^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, the molecular weights of the polyethylenes are reduced when the polymerization temperature is increased. We observe that dinuciear metallocenes having different-length bridges give different polymerization results, which reconfirms the significant role that the nature of the bridging ligand has in controlling the polymerization properties of dinuclear catalysts.

To verify the viability of Co, Ru and Zr-based catalyst for $CO_2$ (dry) reforming reaction, catalysts were fabricated using cordierite, silicon carbide and rota monolithic substrates, and they were compared with the conventional $Co-Ru-Zr/SiO_2$ catalyst in terms of performance and durability. Cordierite monolith was showed high activity with the least amount of active component. In addition, when Cordierite monolith was coated with Co-Ru-Zr in various ways, most excellent performance was showed at a precursor solution coating method. In particular, when 0.9 wt% Co-Ru-Zr/Cordierite was used for reaction, it was observed that 95% $CO_2$ conversion was maintained for 300 h at $900^{\circ}C$.

In water-cooled power reactor, hydrogen is generated in case of steam zirconium reaction during severe accident condition and later on in addition to hydrogen; CO is also generated during molten corium concrete interaction after reactor pressure vessel failure. Passive Autocatalytic Recombiners (PARs) are provided in the containment for hydrogen management. The performance of the PARs in presence of hydrogen and carbon monoxide along with air has been evaluated. Depending on the conditions, CO may either react with oxygen to form carbon dioxide (CO2) or act as catalyst poison, reducing the catalyst activity and hence the hydrogen conversion efficiency. CFD analysis has been carried out to determine the effect of CO on catalyst plate temperature for 2 & 4% v/v H₂ and 1-4% v/v CO with air at the recombiner inlet for a reported experiment. The results of CFD simulations have been compared with the reported experimental data for the model validation. The reaction at the recombiner plate is modelled based on diffusion theory. The developed CFD model has been used to predict the maximum catalyst temperature and outlet species concentration for different inlet velocity and temperatures of the mixture gas. The obtained results were used to fit a correlation for obtaining removal rate of carbon monoxide inside PAR as a function of inlet velocity and concentrations.

A new type of cross-linked methylaluminoxane (MAO)-supported cocatalyst has been prepared by the reaction of a soluble MAO and a cross-liking agent such as an aromatic diamine compound. The cross-linked MAO-supported cocatalyst was used for the polymerization of ethylene in the presence of bis(n-butylcyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride, (n-BuCp)$_2$ZrCl$_2$. The catalyst activity of (n-BuCp)$_2$ZrCl$_2$ cocatalyzed with the new supported cocatalyst was higher than that of the commercial silica-supported MAO (SMAO) cocatalyst. The molecular weight and the bulk density of the polyethylene produced by using the new supported cocatalyst were slightly higher than those of polyethylene synthesized using commercial SMAO. The resulting polyethylene particles possess spherical morphologies with very few fine particles.

The purpose of this paper is, based on the theoretical background of the principle of gas purification and absorption, and the absorbing ability of metals, to syudy the efficiency of gas purification of inorganic gases using Zr alloys, so as to contribute to the IT industry. To produce and distribute gas with high purity and ultra-high purity, different types of gas purifier are currently being used: distillation type, getter type, catalyst type, absorption at low-temperature type, and membrane separation equipment. From the different purification methods mentioned above, the getter type gas purifier is capable of not only high performance and capacity but also P.O.U(Point Of Use) method. The key of the getter type gas purifier is its efficiency of gas purification, which is the subject chosen for this study.
