Abstract:
Provided is a device for removing nitrogen oxide, the device including an inflow path for gas containing nitrogen oxide; and a reversible metal complex compound coming into contact with the gas containing nitrogen oxide which is introduced through the inflow path, wherein the reversible metal complex compound includes a central metal ion reacting and binding with nitrogen oxide; and a ligand coordinating with the central metal ion, wherein when the central metal ion is oxidized, the bound nitrogen oxide is separated, and the oxidized central metal ion is reduced to recombine with nitrogen oxide.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a methanol and sulfuric acid co-production system capable of producing methanol and sulfuric acid in equal equivalents. Specifically, the system includes an oxidation reaction unit configured to produce methyl bisulfate (CH3OSO3H) by reacting methane gas with an acid solution in the presence of a catalyst, a reactive distillation unit disposed downstream of the oxidation reaction unit and configured to esterify methyl bisulfate (CH3OSO3H) supplied from the oxidation reaction unit with trifluoroacetic acid (CF3COOH) to obtain a product and to separate the product into methyl trifluoroacetate (CF3COOCH3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) through thermal distillation, and a hydrolysis reaction unit disposed downstream of the reactive distillation unit and configured to produce methanol by hydrolyzing methyl trifluoroacetate (CF3COOCH3) supplied from the reactive distillation unit, in which the reactive distillation unit recirculates the sulfuric acid resulting from separation to the oxidation reaction unit.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a zinc-imidazole complex mixed catalyst. Also disclosed are a method for preparing the zinc-imidazole complex mixed catalyst and a method for producing a methyl N-phenyl carbamate in high yield with high selectivity in the presence of the catalyst. The zinc-imidazole complex mixed catalyst can be reused due to its high reaction stability. In addition, the use of the zinc-imidazole complex mixed catalyst leads to a marked improvement in the production yield of a methyl N-phenyl carbamate with high selectivity.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for producing glycidol by successive catalytic reactions. The method includes a series of reactions for the preparation of glycerol carbonate from glycerol and the decarboxylation of the glycerol carbonate. Specifically, the method includes i) reacting glycerol with a dialkyl carbonate to prepare glycerol carbonate, and ii) subjecting the glycerol carbonate to decarboxylation wherein a base is added as a catalyst in step i) and is allowed to react with an acid to form a metal salt after step i), and the salt is used as a catalyst in step ii). According to the method, inexpensive and easy-to-purchase acid and base catalysts can be used to produce glycidol from glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel production, as a starting material in high yield with high selectivity in a convenient, simple, and environmentally friendly way. In addition, the method eliminates the need to separate the base catalyst.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an sorbent for removing sulfur dioxide (SO2) contained in combustion flue gases or in the atmosphere by using a diamine-based ionic liquid or a diamine compound supported by a polymer resin. To be specific, the present invention relates to a method of using a tertiary diamine compound immobilized on a polymer surface as a SO2 sorbent and also relates to a novel sorbent for absorbing or adsorbing a sulfur dioxide hydrate (SO2.H2O) formed by a bond between SO2 and water.
